Populating dropdown list from an XML file

Avatar

Former Community Member
Hi!

I want to prepopulate a dropdown list in a form from an XML file.
Typically something like:


A
B
C



Is this the correct way to specify the list's values in XML?
How do I specify the binding property of my dropdown list, to put the values A, B and C into the dropdown list?

I am using Designer 7.0!

Thanks!

Liana,
You can't do this with Designer 7.0. If you upgrade to Designer 7.1,
you can bind dropdown list values to your xml data using the dynamic
property binding capabilities.

Hope this helps!
