Hi everybody,

I have a list box as a parameter in my report with 'ID' as a column value and 'NAME' as display text.

I want to get the selected items, so with combo box for example i do 'reportContext.getParameterDisplayText()' but with list box it doesn't work.

Please help if you can. Thank you !

Can you log a bug for this? It should function like getting the
parameter value:

works
reportContext.getParameterValue( "MultiParm" )[0];

does not work.
reportContext.getParameterDisplayText( "MultiParm" )[0];

Here is a solution to save honor :

Basicly my query which aliments my ListBox is :

select id, name from myTable

In initiaze of my report, insert :

var selection = params["myListMultiSelect"].value.join();
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable('selection', selection);

Otherwise i created another a simple DataSet :

select name from myTable

In the beforeOpen of this DataSet :

queryText="select name from myTable where id in ("+reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable('selection')+")"

Finally you can drag & drop a Table into the report & drag into it the unic column name of this dataSet.

Good Luck !
