Hi,

I have two dropdown boxes in my visualforce page namely "ListOfObjects and ListOfFields".

ListOfObjects: displays all the objects in the salesforce

ListOfFields : Displays all the fields belong to the selected object in the 'ListOfObjects' drop down box.

Once I select the field from ListOfFields it will fetch the metadata of that particular field and keeps on concatinating/Appending to the finalString (a variable)  based on the number of  fields selected.

How to make the variable finaltring to retain the previous String also once the objectname is changed in ListOfObjects box.

ex: first time if I select object Account and its fileds id and name , the finalstring contains the metadata of id and name fields,. Next if I select object Contact and field createddate within contact, then my finalString should display metadata of id,name,createddate.

Here is my code...

<apex:page controller="ListObjects" >    

    
    <apex:messages />

 <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:form >
                                          
            <apex:ActionFunction name="loadField" reRender="fields"  status="myStatus,result" action="{!loadNewFieldSet}">
            </apex:ActionFunction>    
            
            <apex:ActionFunction name="DescribeSelectedFields" reRender="fieldsLabel,result"  status="myStatus" action="{!LoadFieldsLabel}">
            </apex:ActionFunction>                   
                                   
                <apex:SelectList value="{!selectedObject}" size="1" multiselect="false"  label="ListOfObjects" onchange="loadField();"  id="ObjId" style="width:100%" >
                    <apex:SelectOptions value="{!Names}">
                    </apex:SelectOptions>                                    
                </apex:SelectList>

                <apex:SelectList value="{!FieldValues}" size="10" multiselect="true" label="ListOfFields" onclick="DescribeSelectedFields();" id="fields" style="width:100%">
                    <apex:SelectOptions value="{!fieldsList}">
                    </apex:SelectOptions>                                       
                </apex:SelectList>
                                          
                                                             
                 </apex:form>    
                 
             <apex:outputlabel id="result">
                 {!value1}
                 </apex:outputlabel>                
                               
      
    </apex:pageBlock>
 
</apex:page>
