How to create codebehind for a Page and Form, and access con

Posted by Community Admin on 19-Jun-2011 00:00

Hi,

I'm a SF4 newbie, I have created a Form and put it on a page but I need a Country dropdown list on the form, what I can do is drop the built in dropdown list and be able to get the control from Codebehind of the Form control or the page the form is on and bind it to a List of countries I already got.

I know the control Id is there for a reason, so you can access them from codebehind, I need to know how?

I have seen this post and this one too but I am not sure how to use the code without creating a page or custom widget.

Please help, thanks.

Hello Zubair,

There is no code behind of these controls, since they are compiles. You can inherit from the base class and bind the control to your data. You can use ChoiceField control in DropDown mode ( RenderChoicesAs.DropDown)
