selectbox function in tornado

does anyone have the codes to populate the pull down menu with their own data.

i want the user to be select the word "Active" or "Expired" from the pull down menu.

this is what i have right now and it's not working.

fi=status|Ty=SelectBox| Val={{Active,Expired}}

any help will be appreciated.

thanks!

Pulldown in Sbox, Edit, Filter, CommonTable ? Which one ?

Goto site's Tornado Demo Page -

* Display Modes - Third example from the bottom (T_displaymodes_selectbox.aspx). you can see {{user list}} also.


* Input - Last example - a lot of drop down including {{user}}

If stil have problem, use a NWIND example to illustrate the problem. As usual, I'll put this example in the Code section of TED4.

hi frank

is the example the same as using it in an input form?

i was using this link as an example but i want to be able to enter my own data.

thanks!

yes, this feature enables a quickie input form with all the drop, look, upload and other built-in capabilities. Which one you have problem with? Need to identify whether you are in edit, filter, sbox, input etc...

Overall,the common mistake is delimiter conflict for defining drop lists. Look at the following ->

.dbEditUpdateFlds = "(;!~)fi=0|ty=RONOUPdate! fi=titleofcourtesy|ty=SELECTBOX|Tex={{Mr,Ms,Mrs}}"

If you do not re-define the [,] to [!] then the Mr,Ms,Mrs will conflict.

hi frank

when i use your code from the previous message, it doesn't work. there isn't anything from the drop down menu.

thanks!

try this working code ->

<script language='vb' runat='server'>
Sub Page_Load(Source as Object, E as EventArgs)
Dim Update As New Tornado.Z()
'...DropDown
With Update
.dbQP="U=5|S=3|D=Nwind|Q=employees|gdf=0,1,4|ni=b5 ,Filter|bm=employees;0|Th=Title=Search DropDown"
.dbFilterFlds = "(;!~)fi=0|ty=RONOUPdate!fi=4|ty=SELECTBOX|Tex={{M r,Ms,Mrs}}"
.ASPdbNET()
End With
End Sub
</script>
