Hello,I am having a problem with the below feature listed in the specs.
Menus and Lists can be validated for values or proper selection.
I have a dynamic list of names and want to have a Please Select From List as the first option. I can not get the text string to be the first in the list (therefore the one that can not be selected) no matter where I put the list values or highlight the selected option.
So then I thought I would validate against a value, but this option is not available when I use the Check Form tool when I have a list selected. All it offers is an Any or Not First validation.
This is the same in the UD4 and the MX.

Hi Randy,
If you select this list in the property inspector you can select values or dynamic, we want Dynamic. Select your recordset then add a static option with no value and your label "Please Select From List".
To check this you should use the "Not First" Validation.
This is how I do this and i always did the same in UDev4, it's a nice extension but I learned not to rely on it too much, since my main site is Jscript and Yaromat validation is picky when used with the Jscript server model <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
Hope that helps you.

Thanks again Dennis,
I always use the Dynamic selection from the Behaviours panels, and the below steps did not work.
When I highlight the list and use the Dynamic option from the Properties panel it works.
Both steps show the same display in the Dynamic Boxes but only the last one works.
Weird. Must be the way it writes code in either solution.

Yes, this also came to my attention.
Funny how after you add the dynamic recordset the dynamic list suddenly pops up into the application window in DWMX.
I think many people will have to re-learn the things they did the UltraDev way, that list for instance...Or using IF to hide admin menu's, just make a conditional sub-template. Hurrah for us, the developer !
