Hi,

 

You have to create dependant pick lists for achieve this. Try following steps;

 

Create two pick lists with your values in a particular object

 

            Ex: PickList1 (values: abc,def,ghi)

                   PickList2 (values:a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i)

 

Click field dependencies at Custom Fields & Relationships which is under your object

 

Click New

 

Select PickList1 as  Controlling Field

 

Select PickList2 as  Dependent Field

 

Click Continue

 

Then you can select your dependant values

 

Use following code for implement the dependant pick list in VF page

 

<apex:page standardController="yourObject__c">
    <apex:form >
        <apex:pageBlock mode="edit">
            
            <apex:pageBlockSection title="Dependent Picklists" columns="2">
            <apex:inputField value="{!yourObject__c.PickList1__c}"/>
            <apex:inputField value="{!yourObject__c.PickList2__c}"/>
            </apex:pageBlockSection>
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Salesforce provide this dependent picklist creation.

Not sure if you are talking about visualforce page or native page. If you want dependency on visualforce page then Shashikant has given a very good link. If you are talking about native page then :

 

Just click on field dependencies in your object > Click New > Select "Controlling Field" - General Expense > Select Dependent Field - Your_Child_Picklist > Continue > Double Click on the values Under the General Expense Field which you want to show > Preview to make sure everything is fine > Save.

 

Now refresh your native page and check this is default provided by salesforce.

 

Thanks

Hiiiii Thnx for the quick response,

But still have one problem that whatever the values in second picklist should be shown as command link not in picklist again...

Means whenever I select any value from picklist1 then appropriate value in picklist2 should be visible in the form of command link or directly text format...

So how to do that...

If you are using older version of Salesforce.com API in VFP then,  Change the version of your page inversion settings to the latest 22.0 and try then. If you can see dependent picklist working then we will move to show command links.

Hiiiii, Shashikant,

can you tell me that what the things need to be change in above code that has posted by chamil.

But I need that the entire value of the picklist should be printed in column format & every value of picklist u can show me either commandlink or as text too...

I tried this thing by replacing 

<apex:inputField value=......>  with

<apex:outputText value=......>

& also tell me that how can I change api version from 21.0 to 22.0.

Regards...
