Case Script

[PBingrampc]

Trying to write a case script that would drive a list into a pulldown which is no problem. The issue is that Pulldown box 1 drives the list in Pulldown box 2.

There are 20 choices in Pulldown box 1. 19 of those choices create exactly the same list in Pulldown box 2. Once of the choices in Pulldown box 1 creates a different and unique list in Pulldown box 2. So.....

If Case in pulldown box 1 = Option 1 then

pulldownbox2.Additem("choice 1");

pulldownbox2.addItem("choice 2"):

etc....

If Case in pulldown box1 = Anything other that Option 1 then

pulldownbox2.addItem("different choice 1")

etc

I want to avoid having to create a case of exactly the same list for 19 of the options if that makes sense.

Thanks -pc

Hi,

You are very nearly there. You could run with this in the preOpen event of the DropDownField2:

// first clear DropDownField2
this.clearItems(); 
this.rawValue = null; 
if (DropDownField1.rawValue == "Option 1")
{
     // deal with the single case in the if statement     
     this.addItem("Choice 1"); 
     this.addItem("Choice 2"); 
     this.addItem("Choice 3"); 
}
else
{
     // deal with the remaining 19 cases in the else statement
     this.addItem("Choice A"); 
     this.addItem("Choice B"); 
     this.addItem("Choice C"); 
}

The above is JavaScript. It is recommended that script that determines the items should be placed in the preOpen event.

Hope that helps,

Niall
