I have a table in my database called 'Meetings'. 'Meetings' has
several attributes: date, time, contact, county, place, event. I
would like to populate a WOPopUpButton with the names of the
attributes. How would I go about doing this?
You could bind an array containing a list of attribute names to the
"list" key of the pop up button. There are several ways to populate
this array.
You could hard-code the names in your component code.
You could get the Meetings EOEntity from the EOModelGroup and get the
list of attribute names from it. Assume the EOEntity is assigned to a
component instance variable, "entity". If the entity has no class
relationships, "entity.classPropertyNames" could be bound to the pop up
button's list key. If class relationships exist, you could populate an
array in the component with the list of appropriate attribute names by
sending the entity an attributes() or classProperties() message and
process the results into a list of attribute names.
