Webdynpro application with dropdown by key

Question

Hi,
i' am creating an webdynpro application with dropdown key element. I have created a domain and in the value range tab i have given the entries like this
                                Fixed Value            ShortDescription
                              0000001                   ABCD
                              0000002                   EFGH
                              0000003                   IJKL
now when i run the webdynpro application iam able to see only the values entered in the Short Description and not the values entered in the Fixed Values.
may i know what has to be done to display the contents present in Fixed Value to get displayed in hte dropdownbykey in the webdynpro application.
Thanks,
BJR.

Hi, Badni,
If you can live without your custom domain, then you can use any standard data element and then programatically fill the attribute property with whatever content you want.
For example, you can create the following method and call it from WDDOINIT of your view:
METHOD set_values_for_dropdown_by_key.
DATA:
    lo_nd_fli    TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
    lo_info_fli  TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
    lt_value_set TYPE wdr_context_attr_value_list,
    ls_value_set LIKE LINE OF lt_value_set,
    ls_scarr     TYPE scarr.
* get node info
  lo_nd_fli   = wd_context->get_child_node( 'YOUR_NODE' ).
  lo_info_fli = lo_nd_fli->get_node_info( ).
* set values
  ls_value_set-value = '0000001'.
  ls_value_set-text  = '1 - ABCD'.
  APPEND ls_value_set TO lt_value_set.
  ls_value_set-value = '0000002'.
  ls_value_set-text  = '2 - EFGH'.
  APPEND ls_value_set TO lt_value_set.
  ls_value_set-value = '0000003'.
  ls_value_set-text  = '3 - IJKL'.
  APPEND ls_value_set TO lt_value_set.
* assign value set to attribute
  lo_info_fli->set_attribute_value_set(
    name      = 'YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_NAME'
    value_set = lt_value_set ).
ENDMETHOD.
Furthermore, if you insist on domain fixed values, you can get them from the tables DD07L and DD07T and include them in your DropdownByKey programatically with program similar to the above one.
