Ok, I have now got the drop down populating properly with all error message
gone. Everything is saving to the database properly as well.
Here's the appropriate section of the cdxml file:
<dDropdownList sizerInfo="{'RowSpan': 1, 'ColSpan': 1, 'HAlign': 'Left',
'ColExpand': True}" Keys="[u'0', u'1', u'2',
u'3']" rowColPos="(5, 1)" Choices="[u'-Select-',
u'AL', u'TX', u'WA']"
designerClass="controlMix" DataSource="clients"
DataField="stateprov"></dDropdownList>
I added the following line to the bizobj file which stopped the
"String must be present in the choices" error:
self.DefaultValues = {"stateprov": "-Select-"}
My Question now (looking at the cdxml snippet), is there anyway to display
the full name of the state in the drop down list, but save the abbreviation
to the database on self.Form.save()
Thanks in advance
Carey
