Setting default text to dropdown listbox

I have a field on my Webdynpro defined as DropDownByKey.
The field's list for the dropdown list is coming from a domain with a list of all the values.
I want to default the field to one of the values in the list from the domain, but I want the description, not the key value to default or showup as the default.
I don't see the method to use in class CL_WD_DROPDOWN_BY_KEY.  Is there a method or someway to do this?
Thanks
John

Sujay,
I found out the easiest way around this without adding any code. 
If you have a field on your iView that points to a structure or table field where the domain for that particular field is a list of values, typically the doman has a fixed value as the key and then the short description.
In most cases the user does not want to see the key fixed value, just the description.
When you add this field to your iView, you must choose the properties DropDownByKey.  This will take care of showing the description and not the fixed key value.  And not to worry, the value stored to the database will be the fixed value and not the description.

  • Set default text editor (no type, creator or extension)

    I would like BBedit to be the default text editor not TextEdit.
    I work in Terminal a lot and often encounter files that were sent to me by someone using Linux and have no type, creator or extension. I want these to open in BBedit not TextEdit.
    The problem can be recreated like this:
    Create an empty file in the Terminal like this:
    %touch testfile
    Select testfile in the Finder and set BBedit as the application to open this file. Click the "Change all" button to make this global.
    I then get an error about there being not enough information. I'm given the option to update and I do.
    Then double clicking on testfile does, in fact, open the file in BBedit.
    Now the rub. If I then generate another file called testfile2 like this:
    %touch testfile2
    Testfile 2 opens in TextEdit when double clicked in the Finder.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I'm not sure how to set a default for files like that. What I do for files that aren't cooperative like that is just have BBEdit (well, actually, TextWrangler for me) on the Dock and then just drag and drop them.
    You could potentially use an AppleScript or shell script to set the creator code to 'R*ch' for a batch of files. Type and creator codes used to be the Mac's alternative to extensions, but they were unfortunately left behind in Mac OS X, since the rest of the computing world didn't understand them. There's still support for them hiding in the OS, though. Looks like there's a script that'll do the trick here:

  • [AA7+] [Windows] Set default text size for "auto" setting...

    Good morning:
    I was wondering if it is possible to set the default font size or specify a maximum font size
    for the auto setting of the font size on a text field when using the auto setting?
    Currently, if the font size is set to "auto" it defaults to 12 pt. text if multiline is checked on the Options tab.
    If multiline is not checked on the Options tab, the font size will adjust to the height of the box.
    I would like to have the multiline checked, specify "auto" for the font size, but have the auto font size be no larger than 8 pts.
    It can go smaller than 8 pts. if there is too much text in the field, but should not be larger than 8 pts. because the other form fields are in 8 pt.
    If someone has any suggestions on how to achieve this, I would be most appreciative.
    Thanks!
    Theresa

    Thanks Jongware!
    I'm aware of the many different forums and I thought I was posting it in the Acrobat Scripting forum.
    That'll teach me to look where I post. I guess I'm the one that needs the glasses.

    Is there a way to set default text color for sent messages?  These settings don't seem to have any effect:

    I'm a Flash newbie trying to build a custom component using

    to set default text or assigning a text value in the "properties"
    window (the field displays in the properties window, but any value
    typed into it does not appear during movie playback). Currently,
    the text can be seen only in authoring mode, not when the movie

  • How to set a default value in dropdown list in Wendynpro ABAP? Help!

    Hi Experts,
           I have Webdynpro for ABAP application that shows a DropdownwithKey UI element.
    1. I am able to populate the dropdown list. But by default the list is not showing any value. Only when I select a value from the list then it shows it.
    So how to set the default value to the first value in the list? Any code sample will be really helpfull.
    I have written the following code:
    method WDDOINIT .
      DATA:
        node_category TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
      node_category = WD_CONTEXT->GET_NODE_INFO( ).
      node_category = node_category->GET_CHILD_NODE( 'CATEGORY' ).
      data:    LT_VALUESET type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
               L_VALUE type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
    L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V1'.
    L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'yesterday'.
    INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
    L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V2'.
    L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'today'.
    INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
    L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V3'.
    L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'tomorrow'.
    INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
    node_category->SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SET(
                 NAME = 'CAT_VALUE'
                 VALUE_SET = LT_VALUESET ).
    endmethod.
    Note that: I am using webdynpro for ABAP.
    Thanks
    Gopal

    I am not sure how it works in Web Dynpro for ABAP, but in Web Dynpro for Java to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element)  in the context
    like
    wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<defalut value>)
    This generally done in Initialization method of the controller.

  • How to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text

    how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
    thank you

    There are a couple of ways of doing this:
    If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
    If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
    I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:
