Hi,
We were just looking into this with Laurent this morning for another
requirement. The cleanest solution is clearly Misi's.
There just two drawbacks :
- you have to manage a table for your temporary records (=> delay,
clustering, i/o ...) or use a "temporary table" if your DBMS allows it
- it implies a delay on the client-side
Now there is a client-side only solution with JavaScript (yes, AGAIN :p).
You need a dummy character menu, named "EmptyMenu" in my example. Attach it
to your field.
The following code must be run from a Run Process action in an active link,
and re-creates the dummy menu with the values you pass to the object
constructor :
javascript new
ARMenu("EmptyMenu",{novals:false,mval:[{l:"val1",v:null},{l:"val2",v:null}]});
I can't test it right now, but this code _should_ work to add an item :
javascript window.ARMenus["EmptyMenu"].mval.push({l:"label",v:"value"});
new ARMenu("EmptyMenu",window.ARMenus["EmptyMenu"]);
