Select all the alternative values in a list object by using the SelectListObjectAlternative method.
Example
The dimension Dim1 has been created previously.
1. Create the list object. The handle of the request is 2 because the list object is created inside a sheet and the sheet has 2 as a handle.
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"method": "CreateChild",
"handle": 2,
"params": [
{
"qInfo": {
"qId": "LB01",
"qType": "ListObject"
},
"qListObjectDef": {
"qStateName": "$",
"qLibraryId": "",
"qDef": {
"qFieldDefs": [
"Country"
],
"qFieldLabels": [
"Country Label"
],
"qSortCriterias": [
{
"qSortByLoadOrder": 1
}
]
},
"qInitialDataFetch": [
{
"qTop": 0,
"qHeight": 5,
"qLeft": 0,
"qWidth": 1
}
],
"qShowAlternatives": true
},
"title": "A listbox",
"description": "Description of the listbox"
}
]
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 2,
"result": {
"qReturn": {
"qType": "GenericObject",
"qHandle": 3
},
"qInfo": {
"qId": "LB01",
"qType": "ListObject"
}
},
"change": [
3
]
}
The list object LB01 ( "qId": "LB01") is created and its handle is 3.
2. Select the first value.
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 3,
"method": "SelectListObjectValues",
"handle": 3,
"params": [
"/qListObjectDef",
[
1
],
false
]
}
The engine returns:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 3,
"result": {
"qSuccess": true
},
"change": [
3
]
}
The selection is successful ("qSuccess": true).
3. Get the layout of the list object.
The client sends:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 4,
"method": "GetLayout",
"handle": 3,
"params": []
}
The engine returns:
{
