dataProviders do not "display" anything. But whatever your display component, there is a way to specify which property on the item you want to display.
You say your dataProvider is an "array". Are you sure? How are you sure? Are you using the work "array" in its purely technical sense, or in a more generic sense, that includes "associative array" and "arrayCollection"? If it is an Array, what is it an array of? (dynamic objects, scalar values, xml nodes?) What is your resultFormat? Have you inspected your data in the result handler function?

Hi All I am retrieving some data using HTTP from PostGres database. I would be successfully able to put all the entries in UDN's in the list box (using REST Calls). Now my requirement is that I need to display an attribute name Friendly name which is already in the database as the label (VISUAL entry ) in the list but when user performs different operations like drag and drop, I need the complete string in form XML to be send. So to make long story short I need to display friendly name as list entries but behind the curtain that label have exact complete value coming from the Database. Now is there any way that I can tell my data provider (which is an Array in my case) that to display just the specific attribute for the database and while doing operation send the whole value. Any links, examples and help will be appreciated. Thanks Anuj
