data in the dropdown list

Hi all,

 

On my Visualforce page, I would like to display the account names in a dropdown list.

 

For each account record, I have a custom field called display. If that display box is ticked, I would like to display the name of the account in the list. 

 

Is there a way to do that please? 

 

Many thanks

Hello Tin;

 

Controller:

 

public class MyClass{
    public List<SelectOption> getAccountList() {
        Account[] accounts = [SELECT name FROM Account WHERE display = true];
        List<SelectOption> options = new List<SelectOption>();
        for (Account acc : accounts) {
            options.add(new SelectOption('',acc.Name));
        }
        return options;
    }
} 
 
 
 VF Page:
<apex:page controller="MyClass">
<apex:form>
  <apex:selectlist size="1">
      <apex:selectoptions value="{!accountList}"></apex:selectoptions>
  </apex:selectlist>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Hi 
 
Many thanks for your reply. The code works beautifully if it is on it's own. If I were to put it in the existing class for existing page, it throws me an error message  on the visualforce page saying accountList unknown.
 
But I now have an idea.
 
Much appreciated your reply.
 
Thanks
