DEVELOPERS FORUM - Get string value of selected item from dropdown.

Vardhan - Friday, September 14, 2012 4:44 AM:

Hi all,

     I have created an Itemtype and its form. The form has a dropdown field, values of dropdown are 'first','second','third' and 'final'.
By using VB.net I' m giving a condition based on dropdown selection like,

If choice= "first" Then   'choice is the property name of the field
'Do something 
End If.

  It is not giving the result. I'm not getting the string value of dropdown by using getProperty() and also by getPropertyAttribute(). In the 'list' If I give values to the choices as first=1,second=2..., then I can use like this

If(choice=1) Then
'Do something
Eng If
 Here it working properly but I should use string in the If condition not integer values. How to get the String value from dropdown selection.

Please help me.

Thank You all,
Vardhan

Hi Vardhan,

Try this      

var fieldObj = parent.item.selectSingleNode("dropdown0");
if (fieldObj) {
var text = fieldObj.text;
}

Thank You,
Harsha

Hi Vardh!

Dropdown control can't get value by method getPrperty(), it's control of JavaScript you must use method of JS,
