How to fill a DropDownList with custom options?

[q5616417]

Hi,
I want to populate a DropDownList in netbeans 6.0.1 with values from a custom array. I tried to create an adaequate property in the application bean, but "Add" is greyed out in the context menu. It's the same when I try to do it within the session bean.
So, how can I populate the DropDownList with my own values?
Best regards
Thomas

i gave u an example (in your ApplicationBean1)

private String[] status;

public String[] getStatus() {
    return status;
}

private Option[] statusOptions;

public Option[] getStatusOptions() {
    return statusOptions;
}

public void init() {
        this.status = new String[]{"Enabled", "Disabled"                };
        this.statusOptions = new Option[this.status.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < getStatus().length; i++) {
            statusOptions[i] = new Option(getStatus()[i]);
        }
}

Thank you a lot. Of course this works. Do you have any idea why the "add"-item in the context-menu of the beans is not activated?

I dunno, but you can try Configure Default Options in the context-menu to add item.

I dunno, but you can add item via Configure Default Options in the
context-menu

You don't use the add menu for that.  Right-click on the dropdown list
in the visual editor and select: "Configure Default Options..."

A dialog box will pop up that lets you enter both the display (what you
see on the screen) and value (what gets returned by the getValue()
method) items for each menu entry.  You can also select items to be
selected by default and enable multiple selections in this dialog.

You can also add options like this:
dropDownPriceDefaultOptions.setOptions(new
com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.Option[]{new
com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.Option("1000", "$1,000"), new
com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.Option("2000", "$2,000"));

Be aware that the value comes first, then the label in the new Option
constructor, the opposite of the dialog box in the visual editor.

You can set the selected option via:

dropDownPriceDefaultOptions.setSelectedValue("1000");

That can be an array for multiple selections if multiple is enabled.

Rick,
I am using NB6.0.1, and the "Configure Default Options..." displays for
the Radio Button Group as you state below; but does not exist for the
Drop Down box.  Were you aware of this behavior, or is my NB
installation messed up?
