iLogic InputListBox

Hi,

  I was wondering if there was a way to have a InputListBox that you can choose multiple values from the list ?

Yes, you need to make the parameter a Multi-Value.

In the partameters dialog right click the parameter you want to modify and choose "Make Multi-Value"

Another dialog will appear to add more values.

Now when you drag and drop to add that parameter to your iLogic form it will be a Multi-Value drop down box.

You can also choose to make the control a list box or a radio group through the form editor.

Good luck!

EDIT: After reading your question again I'm not sure I answered correctly. I'm not sure about the ability to choose multple values from the list.

Ken was somewhere along the right line;

You can create a list or a collection or array within the code and use that within your InputListBox. ie;

Dim oList As New List(Of String)

Dim oParameter As Parameter

oModelP = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.ModelParameters

For Each oParameter in oModelP
If oParameter.Renamed=True
oList.Add(oParameter.Name)
End If
Next

r = InputListBox("Prompt", oList, "", Title:= "Select Parameters", ListName := "Parameters")

MsgBox(r)

Creating the list is fine, I just want to be able to select more than one value from the list to run another rule on each selection.

The list can be quite long sometimes as well, because it is coming from excel and differs each time the rule is run. Maybe I will have to use something other than an 'inputlistbox' any ideas?

Thanks for your help so far though fellas.

You can always have the list in a while loop and have it repopulate to allow it to run multiple times/have multiple selections

a 'goto' statement for now will have to do, but thanks for the help
