Is there a simple way of getting the display_value of a combobox when I know the real_value?

Using a formbyquery, for instance. But I’m not so sure it can be considered a “simple” way :wink:

Ciao Ric,

Ferrara, a nice city…

Formbyquery would be kind of a workaround! However, I managed to solve the problem by setting the dataprovider for the combobox to integer.

Thanks

You can retrieve the contents of the value lists via a method. If you know the value that is stored in the field, you can figure out the display value from that, couldn’t you?

Hi Patrick,

I was hoping for something like:

var dataset = Application.getValueListItems(‘somevaluelistname’);
var thedisplay_value = dataset[real_value];

Anyway, I have rewritten my code to eliminated this issue :wink:
