MultiSelectComponent - Selecting by default

[rmata]

I have been trying to test more components on dashboards, and now i've stumbled onto a small problem. I populate the element using a CDA query, and i want to have all the values selected when the element is rendered. I have already tried adding the "selected" clause one normally includes on a regular HTML select object on the query, but the element automatically escapes the query result as the object's value.
Also, snooping around the definition on the coreComponents file, i couldn't find anything that could help me do this.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Hi,

it can be done by set the parameter value at begining. for example :

var region='Central';

  var SelectRegion = 
    {
    name: "SelectRegion",
    type: "selectComponent",
    queryDefinition: qdef.regions,
    parameter: "region",
    valueAsId: false,
    size:1,
    htmlObject: "SelectRegion_object",
    executeAtStart: true
   }

Correct. And if you want to set more than one, use an array

Yes, thanks, that worked. What i did was declare an array variable as you suggested, and filled it with the component's values at preExecution, and each option was selected when the dashboard was rendered.
