steve_andersen Can't get SelectOptions to display
I am building a data entry form with 3 picklists--Account, Opportunity, and a custom child object of opportunity. The idea is you select an Account, and then get a picklist of all Opportunites, when you select an Opp, the child picklist shows up.
I built an interface like this in an scontrol and I'm now replacing it with VF.
I built a client object, which has an Account Id, Account Name, and a list of SelectOptions for available Opportunities:
On page load I build out a map of all my clients, each with it's projectOptions. When I debug the client object I get this:
But I can't get the project options to show in a picklist. The client picklist works, and when you change it, it rerenders the project section. But the project picklist is empty, and I can't get the project options that I know are there to show up.:
Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Steve
I built an interface like this in an scontrol and I'm now replacing it with VF.

public class client {
public Id clientId;
public String clientName {get{return clientName;} set{clientName = value;}}
public List<SelectOption> projectOptions {get{return projectOptions;}
set{projectOptions = value;}}
public Map<Id,project> projects {get{return projects;} set{projects = value;}}
public client() {
projectOptions = new List<SelectOption>();
projects = new Map<Id,project>();
}
}On page load I build out a map of all my clients, each with it's projectOptions. When I debug the client object I get this:
001S0000003VuzSIAS=timesheetController.client:
[
clientId=001S0000003VuzSIAS,
clientName=ONE/Northwest,
projectOptions=(
System.SelectOption[value="", label="- pick a project -", disabled="false"],
System.SelectOption[value="006S0000002JUkiIAG", label="ONE/Northwest 2008 Project", disabled="false"] ),
.

System.SelectOption[value="006S0000002JUkiIAG", label="ONE/Northwest 2008 Project", disabled="false"] ),

But I can't get the project options to show in a picklist. The client picklist works, and when you change it, it rerenders the project section. But the project picklist is empty, and I can't get the project options that I know are there to show up.:
<tbody>
<tr><th><apex:outputText value="AccountNew"/></th>
<td>
<apex:selectList value="{!newTaskLog.Account__c}" id="accountselect"
multiselect="false" size="1">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!clientSelect}"/>
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange"
action="{!setupFocusClient}" rerender="projectselect"/>
</apex:selectList>
</td></tr>
<tr><th><apex:outputText value="ProjectNew"/></th>
<td>
<apex:outputPanel id="projectselect" >
<apex:outputText value="{!focusClient.clientName}"/>
<apex:selectList value="{!newTaskLog.Opportunity__c}"
multiselect="false" size="1">
<apex:selectOptions value="{!focusClient.projectOptions}"/>
<apex:actionSupport event="onchange"
action="{!setupFocusProject}" rerender="taskSelect"/>
</apex:selectList>
</apex:outputPanel>
</td></tr> Any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?

There is an example of creating dynamic/dependent picklists in the Force.com Developer Guide, pages 366 to 379. That should help you. Plus, you may be able to combine that with code to display a lookup field as a picklist.
Hope that helps,

But my main problem still exists--My select options are in my data structure but not showing in my select list.
The projectOptions property of my focus client is a list with two selectOptions in it. I have a selectlist bound to it. But the two options don't show in the pick list. The data is there in the structure, but the page isn't getting it for some reason. I can't figure it out.
Am I missing something?
