Get Display Value from Select list

user8041951Sep 9 2012 — edited Sep 11 2012
Hi,

I am using Apex 4.1 and I have a select list in my page. I know i can access the value of the selected item by :P1_SelectList, but I would like to know how to access the display value of the selected item.

Thanks in advance,
DS

you can write in an el in the value of stauts field as "#{binding.status.inputValue=='A'?'Approved':'Rejected'}

Hi,

Why don't you create another column that will hold the display values?

So your table is going to be like this:

     Column_A: A, X

     Column_B: Approved, Rejected

You can display on the UI Column_B while storing Column_A in the DB.

Even though what vinaykumar2 suggested will work i would personally avoid it as this requires hard-coding values on the UI.

Thank you vinaykumar2,

What if there is more options other than Approved and Rejected conditions, how can I specify that in the Expression Language. some thing like:

if 'A' then Approved

else if 'X' then Rejected

else if 'C' Canceled

else if 'R' then Reviewed

else if .....

my point is there is many conditions.

I found the answer for nested condition in Expression Language in this thread:
