use field value in xml binding expression

[supersmola]

Hi all.

I'm trying to access dropdownlist selected value from a binding expression.

I have a dropdownlist called rooms which is bound to some XML data. When the selection changes I woud like to access that value in another dropdownlist called members which is also bound to some XML data.

The expression I tried is:

$record.room.[roomname==$form.company.mainform.rooms.rawValue].member[*]

I'm calling this code on the rooms.changed event (alsop tried on rooms.exit event):

     members.execCalculate();

Aparently $form.company.mainform.rooms.rawValue doesn't return the selected value of the rooms dropdownlist.

Is there a way to get the selected event from a different form and re-calculate binding of the field?

thanx

Binding is not dynamic ...meaning that it is set when the form is rendered and cannot be changed on the fly.
