prasad@s.ax832 How to populate values from a global area into a drop down?
My requirement:
I have two drop downs in My screen
The first drop down should list only certain custom objects. (I dont want all of the custom objects available in the org to be listed here)
The second drop down is dependant on the first one, where I want to populate the record types into the second one based on which object was selected.
So If the first list had three options
Vehicle
Animal
Chemical
And I select Vehicle from first drop down, then second drop down should have all the record types of Vehicle and so on.
My questions:
a) is it possible to place all these specific custom objects that i need to populate into the first drop down in a global area that an admin can edit? Then I want to be able to query this into the drop down.
b) Any pointers to the overall solution to implementing the dependent drop down based on the scenario I described.
ok, got it.
The 1st one, do Custom settings make sense?
The 2nd, you can refer this blog http://richardvanhook.com/2009/04/24/dependent-picklists-in-visualforce/

Hi prasad,
for 1st one, isnt possible to put the custom obj's name into picklist?
for 2nd, can you use field dependency?

Sorry I was not clear.. This is a VF page and i didnt want to hardcode the object names there.
Second, I was not so sure how to use implement the dependent picklist in a VF page, although i did search through the forums. It will be helpful if you can please give me a pointer.
Thank you
