In this step you will make the State and Country field a drop-down which shows states in the US. The data for the drop-down comes from a static table which is shipped with aXes eXtensions.
1. Click on Edit Screen in the aXes Designer window.
2. Select the State and Country field on the DisplayEmployee screen.
![]()
3. In aXes Designer, delete the default visualization of the field:
![]()
4. Drag a Dropdown and drop it on the field:
![]()
The default visualization of the field is now Dropdown:
![]()
5. Change the dataSourceType of the drop-down to Static Table.
![]()
6. Specify USState as the tableName.
![]()
7. Save the screen customization.
8. Execute the Framework as a VLF-WIN application, as Designer, to test the drop-down:
![]()
You can set the values displayed in the drop-down also by entering fixed values or by using a dynamic table. The aXes tutorials contain detailed information about how to do this.
