XPages Ext Lib Value Picker onChange event

Question

I'm using a the extension library value picker to select a Name. Once the user hits Ok, I need to use the selected value to populate several other fields. But I can't figure out how to fire a SSJS function from the Ok button.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can fire an event from the field that the value picker updates.

Here's a simple example that updates another field when the value picker is used:

<xe:djextListTextBox id="inputField">
    <xp:eventHandler event="onChange" submit="true" refreshMode="complete">
        <xe:this.action><![CDATA[#{javascript:getComponent("testField").setValue(getComponent("inputField").getValue())}]]></xe:this.action>
    </xp:eventHandler>
</xe:djextListTextBox>

<xe:valuePicker id="valuePicker1" for="inputField">
    <xe:this.dataProvider>
        <xe:simpleValuePicker valueList="1,2,3" valueListSeparator=","></xe:simpleValuePicker>
    </xe:this.dataProvider>
</xe:valuePicker>

<xp:br />
<xp:inputText id="testField"></xp:inputText>

I'd say that's the best way of doing it. It's the method I've used – Paul Stephen Withers Aug 17 '12 at 09:49
Thanks - I was playing with the value Change listener, but that only fires on validation. – Jeff Byrd Aug 17 '12 at 13:14
