Difference between Combo Box and Dropdown List

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to know the difference between the elements 'Combo box' and 'Dropdown List' in VC. I am facing an issue where i am invoking an entry list and the output of the first element the entry list returns is getting reflected as the output for all the elements...

So even if 2nd and 3rd row of the o/p from the entry list is giving only 2 items, if the 1st row returns only 1 then we are able to see only 1 item. Its as if the 1st row decides the items to be returned for all the rows.

Please help.

Hello Anand,

Both drop down list and combo box can get their values from a dynamic or static entry list - meaning that you can provide their values statically in design time or dynamically in run time (from the backend).

The difference between them is that in combo box you can also provide manually values (in run time) that are not part of the dynamic/static entry list.

Regarding your specific issue, I didn't understand it clearly, so if my answer is not enough please reply and collaborate a bit more.

Regards,

Hezi.
