Visualforce drop down list

Hi,

I am new to Salesforce.

Can anyone please help.

 

Below is my VF code:

  <apex:repeat value="{!InnerList}" var="in">
  
          <apex:selectList value="{!in.selectedValue1}" multiselect="false" style="width:200px;" size="1">
        
              <apex:selectOptions value="{!Header}"/>
             
               </apex:selectList>
            
          
          <apex:selectList value="{!in.selectedValue2}" multiselect="false" style="width:200px;" size="1">
               <apex:selectOptions value="{!FieldList}"/>
           
          </apex:selectList>
        
          
          
      </apex:repeat>

 Controller:

 

public class communityCon1234
{

    public list<communityCon1Inner> Innerlist{get;set;}
    
    public class communityCon1Inner
    {
         public string selectedValue1{get;set;}
         public String selectedValue2{set;get;}
           
    }
     public communityCon1234()
    {
       InnerList = new list<communityCon1Inner>();  
       
        
       communityCon1Inner c= new communityCon1Inner();
       
         InnerList.add(c);
     }
}

 And FieldList and Header contains values of drop down.

 Suppose Header contains values like:

 Name

 Student

 Year

 College

 DOJ

 

Using the above code i get the first value as default value i.e. Name in all the listboxes.

I want my listboxes to have Name in the first listbox,Student in the second listbox,year in the third listbox and so on.

I cannot use :

    <apex:selectOptions value="{!Header[in]}"/>

 As var="in" is of type innerlist of a inner class
I cannot remove the inner class as well because it is getting me the values of selectedvalue1 and selectedvalue2.

 

So please help.

Do i use an another repeat tag with var or what?

 

Thanks.

Just try this...

public class communityCon1Inner
    {
         public string selectedValue1{get;set;}
         public String selectedValue2{set;get;}

         public  communityCon1Inner()

        {
        selectedValue1='Name';

selectedValue2='Student';

        }   
    }

You just need to take care of the assignment of the Selected value from your controller[ while you are generating/populating the wrappers]

So

 

If you want Name for the first Selectlis, assingn SelectedValue = 'Name' for it

in.selectedValue1 = 'Name'; // here in represents the first value of the wrapper

Similarly for second

in.selectedValue1 = 'Student'

Thanks for the reply.

No i cant use it like

in.selectedValue = 'Name'

 

As the values for the  drop down listbox are coming dynamically from a Excel file.

Should i send you my entire code on some personal id?

If you could help would be grateful.

Hi,

 

I guess SelectedValue2 is getting set to 'Name'.

 

Can you please check the Value in your WrapperList...

URVASHIURVASHI

Thanks for the reply.

Yes neha,correct.

But i have a select list within repeat tag.

and for every select list i have the 'Name' value by default.

n i want each of my select list should have a different default value.

Like Name for first select list

Student for second and so on.

 

And in my case:

If you see the code i cannot use

Header[in] as return type of 'in' is not Number(Integer)

So how do i do it.

 

 

Please help.

Here's an example for you that shows simple custom picklist implmention in visualforce.

Example for both select option and select options.

May be this could help you out.

Hit kudos adn mark this as answer if it helps you out.
