Combobox usig Key value instead of Text

[Marcel de Assis]

Hi guys,

I'd like to use combobox just like html select/option. I have a VARA that looks like this:

So I'd like to display Service and when it's selected in my Promptset the value of my variable should be 1. How can I achieve this?

Hi

unfortunately there is no option which columns should be taken for PRPT handling :-(
... at least I am not aware of any...

You can use a little script to process the VARA and compare it with your Promptset value:

:SET &HND# = PREP_PROCESS_VAR(VARA.MARCEL)
:PROCESS &HND#
: SET &KEY# = GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#,1)
: SET &VAL1# = GET_PROCESS_LINE(&HND#,2)
: IF &VAL1# = &COMBOBOX1#
: SET &MYVALUE# = &KEY#
: ENDIF
:ENDPROCESS
:CLOSE_PROCESS &HND#
!
:PRINT "KEY=&KEY# VAL1= &VAL1# MYVALUE= &MYVALUE#"

where &COMBOBOX1# is your promptset variable.

cheers Wolfgang

Another idea I've had (but haven't tried) is to set the Key value to match value1, and store the desired outcome as value2.  Then in the process script you should be able to use this as your result;

get_var(VAR.NAME,&SELECTEDVALUE#,2)

The more I use Automic I get that I can't run from the script/process pane lol!

Thanks for the quick reply and help guys, I hoped that scripting was not needed.

If the Column usage is not fixed the more elegant & easier method!
