selectFromListItem

The selectFromListItem property identifies the array or DataTable column from which the user selects values that are then transferred to the array or primitive field being declared. The value you assign to selectFromListItem 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 selectType property (see selectType). Alternatively, you can use the newer selectedRowItem or selectedValueItem properties to accomplish the same purpose (see selectedRowItem and selectedValueItem).

The value of the selectFromListItem property is a string literal that identifies the source array or DataTable column.

If you specify this property when declaring an array, the user can select multiple values. If you specify this property when declaring a primitive field, the user can select only one value.

Any value received from the user must correspond to one of the following types:

The selectType property indicates which of these types of value to receive.
