Retrieving Row Data Dynamically within a Script's UI

SebastianPawlak — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 15:22:29 GMT

Is there a data type that allows me to list row data from a specific field right within a script's UI?

I'm trying to enhance my script tool by allowing users to choose a row from a feature class right within the Script's UI. Currently the script requests X Y coordinates in a text box. Ideally, rows from a user-specified feature class should be updated dynamically and listed in a drop down menu (similar to what you can do with listing fields from a feature class within a script's UI).

Any idea's or suggestions?

Thanks
Sebastian

This can be done using script tool validation.

Thanks for your response. After some searching I managed to find an example of a tool that will do exactly what I'm looking for. For anyone else looking to do the same, here is the link:
