Reset and hardcoding Drop down

[jp1]

Hello

I am creating a rather simple URCap based on the Whip sample. My only goal with the URCap is to transform textinput into variables. I have based it on the Whip sample as it has textinput.

And it works brilliantly, but with some minor issues.

• I use “value=”“” in my programnode.html to preset values. The URCap doesnt recognize these preset values, even though the values are within the limits of “isDefined()”. The “isDefined()” isn’t returned true until I manually input the same values.

• When I have used the URCap once in my programtree, and want to use it again, the same sort of problem arises. It then selects the values set in the previous URCap, and “isDefined()” is false, even though they are within limits. Again I can set them manually with the same number, and it is returned true.
  The Whip sample does the same thing, in its standard form. So what is missing? =)

I want to implement a drop-down menu, and I have looked at the samples. The samples only include drop down coding where the content of the drop down is imported. I need the content of my drop down to be hardcoded. I was hoping that I could code it in HTML using , but that doesn’t seem to work. I need the content of the drop down to show text, that represents a number, from which I can write to a variable.
I have found the following topic on the forum, but I could get it to work.

Drop-down menu always empty

I understand that this is because the annotation (@Select (id = “xxxx”)) above the method. This annotation connects HTML with object in Java. Polyscope then does just something similar to document.getElementById(), reads value and updates Java Object. This is me just guessing here, but I can only see, that annotation just adds id field to object. It does not say “on event Change call function onSelectChange”. My question is about HTMLElements (those members that have annotations and are set…

How do I implement such a drop down? Does anyone have a sample or the needed coding for it?

Best regards Jes Peter

You must create the dropdown list using the SelectDropDownList object in Java.
The HTML parser cannot populate the dropdown, and any “option” elements in HTML are discarded.

So use the code referenced here;

Drop-down menu always empty

@artiminds, How are you creating your selectin Java? Consider having a minimal drop down in HTML, hence you have more flexibility from the Java side to change the items. <form> <select id="selObject"> <option>&lt;List is empty&gt;</option> </select> </form> And then in Java initialize and modify the list. @Select(id = "selObject") private SelectDropDownList selObject; @Select(id = "selObject") public void onSelectChange(SelectEvent event){ if (event.getEvent() == SelectEvent.EventType…

And use selObject.addItem("MyItem") to add your items.
You could populate this in the Constuctor or openView.

It would be great, if you wrote what your problem was. You know, for others and for yourself six months from now. Otherwise this forum will be full of topics ending with “nevermind, I figured it out”.

Oh yes, where is my forum manners =)

Actually my problem was in my version of the SDK. Was using an older version due to WMWare crashed whenever i was in the “Graphics” tap. An WMWare reinstall and being able to run the newest SDK version solved it =)
