rawValue from list box to text box

Avatar

Level 2

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me how I get the rawValue of a selected Item of a list box into a numeric field?

I have a button that pushes the selected entry to a text field. I would like to use the same button to populate the afferent numeric value of the same selected item to a numeric field.

 

Country.rawValue

=

Countries.getDisplayItem(Countries.selectedIndex);

This is what I have to get the displayed data.

What would the script be to get the rawValue fo the selcted Index?

Thanks a lot,

Larissa

Instead of getDisplayItem() method, you use getSaveItem()

Hi Larissa,

NumericField.rawValue = Countries.rawValue;

Will get you the rawValue (bound value) of the list box.

See here for an example: http://assure.ly/fYCuQ2.

Hope that helps,

Thanks Nith and Niall for your help.

The getsaveitem is spot on!

I have one more question. Is it possible to associate more than 1 numeric value to an entry of a list box or drop down?

For example, let's say I have a country Algeria for which my cost is 100 USD but the additional cost for additional things is 50 USD.

Can I get the getsaveitem for both into two different fields? So, one saying Price and the other one saying additional price?

Thanks again!!

Larissa
