Trying to combine the values of two fields in xpages

I am new to xpages and I’m trying to take the values contained in two combo box fields and combine them together into a third field. As the user selects the values from the two combo boxes, I want the values to appear in the third field. I’m not sure how to do this and I haven’t found anything similar in the tutorials or forums.

Thanks.

Assuming your 3rd field is an edit box (“inputText1” in my example), you could set it up so its value (Data tab) is calculated via Javascript:

var a:String = getComponent(“comboBox1”).value;

var b:String = getComponent(“comboBox2”).value;

a + b;

where you replace “comboBox1” & “comboBox2” with the names you’ve assigned to your 2 comboboxes.

Then add a partial refresh to each combobox’s “onChange” event (you may need to add this to other events as well, but I think that should work for comboboxes) to partial refresh your 3rd field.

Hope that works for you.
