I can imagine why it does not work when you populate list from Java
Script. But it does not work even if you use the Java version of list
and do getSelected() or getSelectedIndex() on CSpJavaList. It even
does not work when you do something like:
CSpJavaList _list = ...... some list object ....
_list.addSelectable(string, CSpValue);
_list.select(0);
int i = _list.getSelectedIndex();
'i' is always -1 vhen any dynamically added list item is selected (clicked
on, or from code).
I looked onto List object in debugger - after select() method call, the
appropriate List child is
set selected=true. But once I run over getSelectedIndex(), it is reset again
to selected=false.
So it looks like the workaround is to use a peer List and its events in case
of Java and cgi-variables
in case of HTML to get the index of the list item. Then use that index to
retrieve CSpValue
object from CSpList.....
Can somebody comment on it (suggest a better way or point I am missing).
Thank You
