Hi folks,

I want to create 3 bookmarks.

I want to display these bookmarks as a drop down list using the input bx.

If the user creates other bookmarks it should not be shown in the input bok.

How can i achieve this..

Create an INPUT BOX and create a variable called for instance v.BMselected. Create a constraint in the INPUT BOX on this variable like this:

Input constraints: Predefined Values Only

Value list: Predefined Value in Drop-Down

Tick "Listed Values" and enter: BM01; BM02; BM03 (that should be the ID's of your three bookmarks)

Go to:

Settings / Document Properties and select the tab named Triggers:

In the "Variable Event Triggers" list box find your v.BMselected variable - select it and press the

button On Change "Add Action(s)".

In the "Actions" dialog box press the Add-button

Select the Action Type "Bookmark" and then select "Apply Bookmark"

In the input field you put =v.BMselected.

Then everything should work as you expect.

Good luck

so that user can pick the bookmark names instead of Ids

Thanks

You can export the bookmarks to a file. That file is an XML-file that you can edit. Then you can keep the ID's named the same as the bookmark-names and re-import them so the names and ID's are identical.
