how to get value from drop down list?

[newjs]

here in this script:

var mydlg = app.dialogs.add({name:"employees"});
with(mydlg.dialogColumns.add()){
with(dialogRows.add()){
  staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"employees list"});
}
dialogRows.add();
with(dialogRows.add()){
  staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"select one"});
  var empName = dropdowns.add({stringList:["joe","Sarah","Anne","Andy"], selectedIndex:0});
 
  }

Hey!

Just change this line:

var Name = empName.selectedIndex;

to this:

var Name = empName.stringList[empName.selectedIndex];

Hope that helps.

Or try this code:

var empName = ["joe","Sarah","Anne","Andy"]; var mydlg = app.dialogs.add({name:"employees"}); with(mydlg.dialogColumns.add()){ with(dialogRows.add()){   staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"employees list"}); } dialogRows.add(); with(dialogRows.add()){   staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"select one"});   var S_empName = dropdowns.add({stringList:empName, selectedIndex:0});     } mydlg.show() } alert (empName[S_empName.selectedIndex])

You messed it up little bit, didn't you?

var empName = ["joe","Sarah","Anne","Andy"];
var mydlg = app.dialogs.add({name:"employees"});
with(mydlg.dialogColumns.add()){
with(dialogRows.add()){
  staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"employees list"});
}
dialogRows.add();
with(dialogRows.add()){
  staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"select one"});
  var S_empName = dropdowns.add({stringList:empName, selectedIndex:0});
 
  }
mydlg.show()
}
alert (empName[S_empName.selectedIndex])
