Value Tag Class problem

Hi There,

I have an attribute with value assistance (Select statement from a registered table). So far so good.

The thing is that when the value selected is changed, I have to update in the UI some other attributes.

To do so, I thought I'd create a Value tag class I configure in docbaseobjectconfiguration_dm_document.xml

In the control class, I override the onHandleChangedValues(DropDownList list, ArgumentList arg) since the attribute is rendered as a Dropdown list

Here is the thing, it never goes to this method...

any idea ?

Hi Buddy,

If you create attributes using composer/DAB this is very easy. You should create a type that has conditional value attribute type. For ex. When you create an attribute "State" and another attribute "City" dependant (conditional value assistance) on "State", the OOTB ValueTag does that for you automatically. (i.e. refreshing of UI with appropriate values for dependant attribute "City" ).

Hope this helps

Unfortunately, I can't really use that (without very heavy customisation)

Maybe I should explan more what I'm trying to achieve.

I have a registered table looking like (there's more but that's enough to demonstrate my problem):

building_no	city	street	street_number
123456	New York	5th Avenue	1546
798465	Paris	Champs Elysees	21

I have an object type with the following attributes:

building
city
street
number
....

The building attribute is selected thru a value assistance complete query (select building_no from dm_dbo.buildings)

so far so good, it displays in a picklist.

The thing is that I want the other attributes to be read-only and populated from the value of the building.

If I use a conditional value assistance , say for the city, it looks like select city from dm_dbo.buildings where building_no='Value$(building)'

It displays the city in a picklist and when I change ther building number, it defaults to a blank value.

I want to display city, street.... and the others in a label and I want the value automatically populated

Thanx for the help
