Hello,

yes i'm using a controller and a extension.

Note the pickist has custom values; they are not retrieved from any object

Got it

So you are using a Controller  extenssion but you are not binding this picklist with any of the field of that object.

 

So make a property in controller class as 

 

class myclass

{

 

//Your existing code 

 

String PicklistSelectedVal = '';

 

public String getMyPicklistvalue()

{

    return  PicklistSelectedVal;

}

 

public void setMyPicklistvalue(String val)

{

   PicklistSelectedVal = val;

}

 

 

}

 

 

 

IN VF page 

 

<apex:page .....................>

 

 <your tags and code >............

 

<apex:selectList value="{!MyPicklistvalue}" >
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!items}"/>
 </apex:selectList><p/>

 

 

</apex:page>

 

 

Now once user clicks submit you can pick the selcted value from the variable "PicklistSelectedVal "  direct or by using the property  getMyPicklistvalue()

 

Hope this will help you....

thanks for your help

I have done this before; it is not returning any value

If I assign the variable PicklistSelectedVal a value at the start; this value is being return instead of the selected value.

You have an idea why the selected value is not being return??

Are you using a multi-select picklist?

Hi matt,

No its a single-select picklist

Here is some simplified code that should work. It it does not the issue may be with your items collection and the values. You also say "If I assign the variable PicklistSelectedVal a value at the start", make sure you are doing this in the contructor.

 

 

Controller:
public String picklistValue {get; set;}

Page:
<apex:selectList value="{!picklistValue}" >
      <apex:selectOptions value="{!items}"/>
</apex:selectList>
