Populate List Box based on Existing Values

I am trying to use RunTime Mods in the Display Form to highlight or select a value in my ListBox. My values are 1, 2, and 3, which I am adding as data items in the Design Form gui. The value is being assigned before the form appears, I just want to highlight that value in the ListBox. The task is having a user review existing attributes of a feature, but that person needs to see AND be able to change those values.

I have tried setting my RunTime assign to: form.Find(Of ListBoxFormItem)("ListBox1").SelectedValues = myDataItemList

However, when I print my item in my For Each loop for my Data Item List thjat the value gets appended to, I get "GeoCortex.Forms.Client.DataItem", I wish I could just put the string in to replace myDataItemList, but the variable required to use SelectedValues must be a DataItemList.

Anyone have any workflow examples or suggestions on getting a queried attribute from a feature service and highlight that value in a ListBox?

many thanks!!!

  This is what I make it work.

  (1) Declare a variable with the type "IList<Object>" (say you call as 'listSelected'

  (2)  On the Runtime Modification Sequence, Assign 'listSelected' with the variable your Ouput Arguments of the ListBox (if you configured it as ' listBoxSelectedItem ' which should be with the type 'Object'

  (3) Use Assign Activity (Cast<T>): listSelected = listBoxSelectedItem

  (4) Use Assign Activity (Cast<T>):  form.Find(Of ListBoxFormItem)("ListBox1").SelectedValues = listSelected

  Munwhan,

  Thanks for the reply. I am stuck now on #2 of your steps. I can't assign the object var (output of the ListBox) to the Casted iList<Object> variable in the RunTime mod. It won't let me. I am unsure why I am assigning a var to an output that doesn't exist yet??

  Do you have any examples or have time to create a SUPER simple one, just so I can see what the var's are and their types?

  thanks,

  Ryan

  Actually, I think I see what you are saying with #2. But #3 and #4... Is this a Cast or an Assign? I am a bit confused by what you are describing. I can't Cast those and the Assign doesn't make a difference.

  thanks again,

  Ryan

  Got it. Thanks for your insight Munwhan... it definitely pointed me in the right direction. I think I got stuck too because I was trying to highlight a record that was coming from the value from a coded value domain.

  Ryan,

   

  I know this thread is almost 3 years old, but I am trying to do exactly what you were asking here. I can't get it to work, but it looks like you did.

   

  If you have it available, would you be willing to post a snippet of the workflow, so I can see where I'm going wrong?

   

  Thanks,

   

  Mike
