Get selected combobox value in uidoc

Hi,

I just can’t figure out how to get the current selected value in a combox from the uidoc.

I have a combobox and a button. When the user clicks on the button LotusScript should use the value from the currently selected combobox in some code.

I can get ALL available options in the combox but not the selected one.

I would guess that it will work if I save the Uidoc and then retreive the document value. But if possible I would get this value directly from ui without having to save it first.

Is it always a new document (never saved) or is it saved and you edit the document?

Its in a profiledoc. So never a new one…

Try to use the OnChange Event (it works for the client since 6.x) and write the field value to a hidden field. Maybe you can get the selected value of the combobox from the hidden field.

Hi,

Try this…it will display the value of the uidoc field in a msgbox as u click on the button.

Sub Click(Source As Button)

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim uidoc As NotesUIDocument

Dim xyz As String

Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument

xyz= uidoc.FieldGetText( "FieldName" )

Msgbox xyz

End Sub

Thanks,

Wierd…

I have tried that and it returned the complete list of available options in the combobox.

Not only the selected one… But when I now tried it again it only returned the selected option.

I’m scratching my head and moves on on the code.

Thanks for getting me to try it again. =)

Hi,

If you use profile documents there could be some cache issues. Try to restart Notes client and chech again.

From Designer help:

Profile documents allow for quick data retrieval, because they are cached while the database that stores them is open.
