How to grab command input data from DropDown list?

[Six1Seven1]

Hi,

Forgive me, I am still trying to figure out how to use and read the object reference manual. I can't figure out how to grab the data from a dropdown list.

Here is my command input:

qty = inputs.addDropDownCommandInput('qty','Quantity',1)
list_items1 = qty.listItems
list_items1.add('2',True,' ')
list_items1.add('4',False,' ')

Then in the execute handler, do i grab the selected item with this code?...

qty = inputs.itemById('qty').selectedItem

I want to return the selected item value. I want to use the integer 2 or 4 in my program input. How to?

Regards,

Hello,

You can probably get the name of selected item. It should be "2" or "4". You have to convert the string to integer before using it.

itemname = inputs.itemById('qty').selectedItem.name
inputvalue = int(itemname)

Thanks,
