Can a Drop Down List (DDL) have a different functions ?

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

Can a DDL field do 2 different functions depend the user selection from radio buttons?

For Example:

1)  If the user select radio button A which allow the user to manually fill the form for new employee. in this case, the DDL will allow the user to pick/select choice from the DDL list.

2)  If the user select radio button B which allow the user to automatically execute web service for existing employee to populate data for the form including DDL above since the DDL is the same field as above in #1.

Please advise if it is possible and explain how it can be done.

Thanks,

You can achieve both. The code to execute different functions should be written in the click event of the Radio Buttons rather than in the Dropdown events.
