Showing Dynamic parameters depending on Static parameter

Question

Post Author: Relais
CA Forum: General
Is it possible to show dynamic parameters depending on the selection of the static parameter?For example, I would like to show a dynamic list of Departments, only if u201CDepartmentu201D is selected from the static parameter list.
Or if u201CCategoryu201D is selected from the static list, then I would like to prompt the user with a dynamic list of available Categories.
Is this possible or must you always show all parameters?Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
What i would do is in addition to what you already have,  create a new view V-Channel and embed this view as default view in the Window.
Create 2 outbound plugs (to_view1 , to_view2)
Create a event in component controller  like event_name is NAVIGATE and the parameter is TO of type string.
Create a method go_navigation with parameter destination of type string.
Write your code in this method to fire the Navigation event filling the TO parameter with destination.
In the V_Channel subscribe to this event NAVIGATE. and write the code for firing outbound plug to_view1 or to_view2 based on the TO parameter value.
Remember to connect these outbound plugs to the right inbound plugs in the ViweContainerUIElement views.
In the start-up plug event handler method, retrieve the URL parameters and call the Go_NAvigation method  filling the right value for the destination parameter.
