selectType

The selectType property indicates the kind of value that is copied into the array or primitive field being declared. The value you assign is used as a default when you place the array or primitive field on the web page in Page Designer.

Use this property in combination with the selectFromListItem property (for more information, see selectFromListItem). Alternatively, you can use the newer properties selectedRowItem or selectedValueItem to accomplish the same purpose (see selectedRowItem and selectedValueItem).

Use one of the following values of the selectTypeKind enumeration:
index (the default)
The array or primitive field receives indices in response to a user selection. In this case, the array or primitive field must be a numeric type.
value
The array or primitive field receives the user's selection value. In this case, the array or primitive field can be any type.
