DropDownList and setLeadSelection

Question

Hi everyone,
I create da dropdownlistbykey and its value is bound to a simple type I created in the dictionary.
I am not able to set the leading selection to position 1 which is the frst value defined in the disctionary.
Here is the details of the node :
node DataSource
value attribute A
value attribute B
value attribute Currency which is bound the the simple type
I want to display the first value defined in the simple type in Currency.
Should I create another node under DataSource especialy for Currency ?
Thanks for the help.
Regards.

Answer 1

Hi,
  Say your enumerated simple type is like this:
Value|Description
1    |Value1   
2    |Value2
3    |Value3
Now if you say setSelectedKey("2"), the entry Value2 in your dropdown will be selected. Whatever you are entering as a parameter to setSelectedKey(), should be a key in the enumeration.
<i>But what happened if you defined a Node and a value attribute in it.</i>
What about this? I didn't understand. All you should be doing in this case is bind the selectedKey property to Node.nodeAttribute. Here is nodeAttribute is of type simpletype. Make sure the cardinality of the node is 1...1.
