The ISelectionListManager interface can be used to create a new selection list or retrieve existing selection list(s). The ISelectionList interface returned by ISelectionListManager can be used to add or remove values in a selection list. You must call store to persist the newly created or updated selection list and insert it into the referenced folder. (The folder must exist before the selection list can be stored.) For an example of using a selection list in a Data Entry Template, see Creating Publisher Data Entry Templates Using IDK Remote APIs.

Java

...
// Get a selection list manager object.
ISelectionListManager selectionListManager = factory.getSelectionListManager();

// Create a selection list representing the states in the United States.
String[] stateOptionValues = {"CA", "MA"};
ISelectionList stateSelectionList = selectionListManager.createSelectionList(rootFolder, "State Selection List", stateOptionValues);
stateSelectionList.store();

// Expand the list options.
String[] expandedStateOptionValues = {"OR", "NY"};
stateSelectionList.addValues(expandedStateOptionValues);
stateSelectionList.store();

// The list now contains "CA", "MA", "OR", and "NY."
// Remove the expanded options.
stateSelectionList.removeValues(expandedStateOptionValues);
stateSelectionList.store();
