Hello folks,

I'm fairly new to XPages and I'm trying to do what I think should be a simple task but I can't seem to achieve it. Perhaps someone could help me.

All I want to do is have a field for the user to input a name and then click "Search", which would find a match in the names.nsf and display it int he combo box. I'm not sure how to get the button "Find" to refresh the combo box values

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
<xp:table style="width:100.0%">
<xp:tr>
<xp:td>Name</xp:td>
<xp:td>
<xp:inputText id="Name" value="#{viewScope.first}" defaultValue="John"></xp:inputText>
<xp:button value="Find" id="button1">
<xp:this.action>
<xp:actionGroup>
<xp:setValue
binding="#{viewScope.name}"
value="" />
</xp:actionGroup>
</xp:this.action>
</xp:button>
</xp:td>
</xp:tr>
<xp:tr>
<xp:td>User Match</xp:td>
<xp:td>
<xp:comboBox id="Color" value="#{view2}">
<xp:selectItem itemLabel="Select One" id="selectItem1"></xp:selectItem>
<xp:selectItems>
<xp:this.value><![CDATA[#{javascript:var dbname =new Array("", "names.nsf");
var txtControlValue = getComponent("Name").getValue();
return @DbLookup(dbname,"$VIMPeople",txtControlValue, 1, "[PARTIALMATCH]")}]]></xp:this.value>
</xp:selectItems>
</xp:comboBox>
</xp:td>
</xp:tr>
</xp:table>
</xp:view>

Thank you in advance for your help :)
Rony
