Thread: Changing Picklist

Is there anyway I can change the picklist for the State field based upon the Country?

As an example if the Country is USA I want the Picklist to be State however if it's United Kingdom, I want the picklist to be County.

Cheers

Are you on 6.x? If so, check out how SalesLogix does something similar on the Account Detail screen. When you select a type, a subtype picklist is chosen based on a basic naming convention. Look at the code in the routine pklTypeChange and it'll have everything you need.

What's cool about their technique is if you add an entry to the type picklist, all you have to do is create a subtype picklist using the naming convention and the routine automatically works. This keeps you out of Architect when you're making minor data changes and is something I've learned to strive for in my own customizations.

Ok I'm feeling very dumb today. I know I've done this in the past but I can't for the life of me get this to work.

Here is the code suggested:
If pklSubType.PickListName.Name <> Application.Translator.Localize("Account") & " " & pklType.Text Then 'DNL
pklSubType.PickListName.Name = Application.Translator.Localize("Account") & " " & pklType.Text 'DNL
If ErrorCheck (Application.Translator.Localize("Error accessing Subtype:")) > 0 Then exit sub
pklSubType.Text = ""
End If

What should my subtype picklist name be? The same as the type? So if Type = Customer, then the picklist should be "Customer"?

EDIT: The part, Application.Translator.Localize("Account"), adds Account to the beginning (duh on me). So the picklist would be Account Customer.

Hi Jason,

You'd basically do something along these lines. We'll assume the country picklist control is named "pklCountry" and the state picklist control is named "pklState":

If UCase(pklCountry.Text) = "USA" Then
    pklState.PicklistName.Name = "State"
Else
    pklState.Picklist.Name.Name = "County"
End If

Make sense?
