Re: Help: How to use WOPopupButton

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 18:36:37 -0800

I'm sure users other than me hate popup buttons that contain so many items that they extend off the edge of the screen.  Instead, please consider using a WOBrowser if you have sufficient room on your component.  The only binding difference:

Or even better still would be some sort of _javascript_ popup list that filters as you type characters into a text field.  If anyone has already built something like this, and are willing to share, I'd sure like a copy of it.  I've been considering writing one of my own, but just haven't yet had the time to do it.  But it sure seems plausible.

I have a table "Country" which contains names of all the countries in the world.
I want it to be displayed in a WOPopupButton in a form for selection. But can't

the bindings, keys or actions i have to configure?

If you want the selection to be a country name (String):

WOPopUpButton Key   Bound To
list                countryNames NSArray
item                countryNameItem String
selection           selectedCountryName String
escapeHTML          false

But if you want the selection to be a country object (Country):

WOPopUpButton Key   Bound To
list                countries NSArray
item                countryItem Country
displayString       countryItem.name
selection           selectedCountry Country
escapeHTML          false

WOBrowser Key  Bound To
selections     selectedCountryNames or selectedCountries NSArray containing a single item
