Get Selected Values from Multi Select Dropdown list

Hi lincolnvmcs,

No problem about any question - we get the basic ones here, right the way through to the exceptionally complicated.

An ObjVer is simply a collection of IDs which point to a specific version of an object on the server: www.m-files.com/.../index.html

If you have an ObjVer then you need to actually retrieve the object's details from the system. There are a number of ways to do this, but perhaps the simplest is to use Vault.ObjectOperations.GetObjectVersionAndProperties: www.m-files.com/.../index.html

The returned object has a Properties property which exposes all the PropertyValues that were on the metadata card. You can use this to find the specific PropertyValue you want, and then extract the value. In the case of a multi-select lookup, you need to use PropertyValue.Value.GetValueAsLookups: www.m-files.com/.../index.html

This, unfortunately, then returns a set of lookup objects which are again a set of IDs that you need to resolve from the server.

Does that help in general terms?

Craig.

Let me just add one thing: normally you are interested in multiple properties of the object, so GetObjectVersionAndProperties is the easiest. If you are really only interested in a single one, then you can use Vault.ObjectPropertyOperations.GetProperty to get a single one: www.m-files.com/.../index.html

Regards,

Craig.

Thank you for your help Craig, that answers everything perfectly
