Textbox Entry Selection

Hello All,

I’m back with more questions. LOL

Here’s my new puzzle:

I am trying to create a dynamic text box. What I wanted to happen was to have a form that shows two fields (A and B). Both are text box.

There will be three buttons: ADD, DELETE, CLEAR

What I wanted to happen was to make B reflect the values entered in A. So what happens is that everytime a value is entered in A and the button ADD is clicked… the value is appended to the existing values in B.

Now my problems is with field B. I want it to have a selection bar were I can click on a value click the DELETE button and the value disappears from the list.

I tried using an embedded view but this required saving to the database. I wanted the data in the textbox to have the proper content before saving it and routing it.

Is this possible? Anybody willing to help?

Regards,

Jacky

That’s best handled with a dialog, and I posted a blog entry that will probably suit perfectly (it will let you add, delete and re-order entries) quite a while ago. Take note of Damien Katz’s comments regarding the creation of the ordering numbers – as the writer of the Notes 6+ formula engine, he knows what he’s talking about… Sorry I never got around to posting the double-list variant – formatting and correcting that posting pretty much turned me off of posting Domino code on Blogger for good.
