Dynamic Web Dynpro Project

Question

Noufal,
I am working on a WD app wherein I need to dynamically populate dropdownlists, input fields. Dynamic values are contained in an object that has propertiy values such as id, text (could be a value set), read-only flag, labelid flag etc.....
My issue is depending on the UI element type (dropdownlsit, input field, checkbox etc..) I may have to populate UI element corresponingly. I do not want to yse context nodes to bind values, as I have way too many fields to populate. My question to you is as follows:
1) How do I know the type of the element ?
2) How do I populate the dropdown list ?
3) Show the view manipulation be done only in the wdDoModifyView method only ?
If you have posted code for some of my questions, please paste in your response once again....
Thanks,
Sri

Armin,
I reviewed the chapter and found it helpful. However, I am not sure if it addresses the issue of accessing the value of a node, the kind I have talked about. Example is as follows.
I have the context structure created dynamically, and it is as follows.
NodeA
NodeA1
NodeA11
Element1
Element2
Element3
NodeA2
NodeA21
Element1
Element2
Element3
NodeA3
NodeA31
Element1
Element2
Element3
One of the earlier responses to my post, I think it was by Noufal, would work if nodes were created at design time.
But noes above are created at runtime.
I have been able to access the node say NodeA11, but still not sure how to access the attribute Element1 or Element2, which ever is the selected element. Keep in mind, these elements are created dynamically, so I cannot access values with statement like
wdContext.currentNodeA11Element().getElement1();
Hope I am making sense. Do let me know how.
Thanks !
