In "dropdown" mode, combobox can be edited, but how to get the edited value

[AkellaVSSSubrah]

Hi All,

I am developing XUI type window using Arbortext.

In this type of window, one combo box is one of the key item.

My requirement is "apart from dropdown list, combo box should be editable".

So, I changed the type attribute to "dropdown". Now it is editable, but i am unable to get the edited value.

I found no such function in ACL to get that value. Is there any workaround or solution for this.

Can any one help me?

Thanks,

Subbu

It would be much easier to provide a solution if we could see what you've done (and tried) so far. Can you post a XUI and associated script that demonstrate the problem?

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for joining the discussion!

Please see the below usecase:

On entering each character into the (editable)combo box, dropdown list should vary dynamically(even the number of items in dropdown list may vary )

Coming to XUI, just 2 dialog items.

label, (editable)combo box.

The value in this (editable)combo box will be validated(character validation), on entry of each character into the combo box.

The (final) value in the combo box will be used in some part of code.

The following functions are tried, but not useful.

1) dlgitem_select_list_at

2) dlgitem_get_value

3) dlgitem_get_list_at

4) dlgitem_get_listtag

Thank you,
