Dynamically Add to List Box (image included)

[ahlaj77]

When I click the "Add Affiliation" button, I would like it to add the item number associated with that particular subform row added to the listbox below it. I calculate the item number from the index (the text field is called "txtCalcItemNumber").

This is what is in my click event for btnAddAffiliations:

Page1.Affiliations.Details.instanceManager.addInstance();

(i tried the code below to add items to listbox but doesn't work)

var values = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.Affiliations.Details[" + this.parent.index + "]").txtCalcItemNumber.rawValue;

ListBox1.addItem(values);

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

ListBox1.addItem(values, values);

the method addItem needs to param;

1st: Display Value

2nd: Bound Value

you can also set the bound value as an index

ListBox1.addItem(values, ListBox1.length);

Thank you for your reply

Just tried adding the bound value and code is still not working right

[Magus069]

ok.. euhmm the other thing i can think of would be converting index into string

this.parent.index.toString()

[ahlaj77]

Still nothing :/

Here is the form in case you would like to look at it

Try this out

Awesome! I tried it out and seems to work
One other thing (forgot to mention), is it possible to have the List Box have 1 as the initial number (since there is already 1 affiliation visible on the screen) and then when you click to add another affiliation, it places 2 in the List Box, etc.. Does this make sense?

Thank you for your help!

Yes, just add an itme in the listbox in the object palette, and then in the code,

when u add the item in ur listbox, add 1 to your value...

Hi Robert,

I appreciate your help! I tried the following code and I seem to keep getting "1" added. I have attached my updated file to show you what I mean.

Thanks again!

[Magus069]

okay, cuz ur values are strings, we can't add 1 to it or else it will concatenate both value as strings

so you need to convert the string to int value like this

AffiliationListBox.addItem((parseInt(values) + 1).toString(), (parseInt(values) + 1).toString());
