flewells Picklist field filtered by record type on Visualforce page not respecting record type settings
I have a Visualforce page (developed per-Winter '11 by someone else, I'm not a developer) that shows a multi-select picklist field. This field is showing all its possible picklist values, even though I have specified the values applicable to each record type.
I know in Winter '11 that Salesforce.com added Visualforce support for Record Types. Reading through the Developers Guide (If the <apex:inputField> tag refers to a picklist field that's filtered by a record type the rendered <apex:inputField> component only displays options compatible with that record type.), I'm led to believe that my Visualforce page should just pick up the record type settings for my multi-select picklist field. But that's not the case. Wishful thinking?
Any guidance for what needs to be in place for the record type settings to be picked up?
It sounds like you are trying to use a feature that was developed on a later version of the API than the page was created with.
To do this, you will need to change the API version on the page and/or controller class. This is easily accomplished in the Eclipse development IDE.
In the web GUI you can do it under: Setup->App Setup->Develop->Pages->Edit->Version Settings tab.
Please be advised that changing API versions may require some additional code changes to maintain functionality.

can anyone help me with sample code like how achieve this functonality in vf page
for example: if I select record type 1, it should display particular picklist values that I slected already, and same for other picklist values

There is a work around you can use to display record types based on the user's profile. As for switching picklist values based on record type, that is going to be difficult.
