Dropdown in VFE

Resh_Bab

I have added a dropdown list as a custom command in VFE.

Testing Dropdown

Select One
Hello

I have the functionality for the command jsddtest defined in ewebeditproevents.js. I open a htm page as a popup when a dropdown option is selected. I use the OpenDialog method to open up the htm.
When Select One is selected, no action is performed as expected. When Hello is selected, the htm page pops up as expected. Now, I would like to display the value "hi" on the htm page that I'm calling.

Can you tell me how I can get the value of the item selected in the list box.

I went through the documentation but couldn't figure out what exactly is the method that I need to call to get the value of the selected item in dropdown.

Thanks.

It has been a while since I've messed around with VFE, but if I remember right the command handler takes in four parameters and the one you're looking for is the third one.

Yes, Jeff. I'm looking for the third parameter. How can I pass the value of the selected list item?

How do you pass it to your script? Well, there are many ways, it really depends on how you're calling your file, but the simplest way is to just pass it in the url.

I'm sorry for not being clear.

The third parameter strTextData just uses the text in the dropdown list. In my example, strTextData shows "Hello". But, what I want is to display "hi" when Hello is selected.

The "data" in listchoice is I assume the value of the option "Hello". So, my question is how can I get that value?

    Hello

In ewebeditproevents.js file, I have this definition.

 
eWebEditProExecCommandHandlers["jsddtest"] = function(sEditorName, strCmdName, strTextData, lData)
{
   eWebEditPro.openDialog(sEditorName, eWebEditPro.resolvePath("hello_popup.htm"), "msgText=" + escape(strTextData), "");
}
