Facility Control

Hi Guys

I want to use one Xpression template for ll my name straps

I want to link my drop down menu to my XML source so that when I select a player number, It automatically matches to the name in the XML Document.

I have attached a few screenshots as well as my XML.

Cheers

Just to clarify what you're trying to do: You have 2 drop-down lists (one based on the ID# and one based on the name) and want to keep their selections in sync with each other - correct?

Is there a reason why you want them to be separate drop-downs?

Hi James

That is correct. I datalinq the first dropdown to the player number tab field in Xpression and the same goes for the second tab field which I use to Linq the names.

Give this code a look. Note that it does a check to see if the parameter values are different before trying to set them (to prevent any kind of looping)

Hi James

This seems to be working well.

thanks again
#DashBoard

Hi James

In the above example you gave me, it links to parameters, is it possible to link more than 2? I have tried but it does not seem to work. I have attached an example of the 4 that id like to link.

any advice would be great.
