Still trying to understand your problem, can you share screenshots, with arrows pointing to the problem?

Hi andrew Fawcett ,
Thank you for Reply

I want to only Multipicklists Field Name and checkboxes

[afawcett]

Please put 4 space characters in front of every line when you past code, notice how in your last response the code is leaking out of the grey box?

[afawcett]

I think you needed to use the 'rendered' attribute on the apex:inputField to conditionally hide it when the field is a multi-picklist type.

[mahesh10811f0011]

Hi andrew Fawcett,

Without using fieldset I displayed all fields dynamically .I will use rerender means all fields will be hide
page like:
apex:repeat value="{!listObjectFields}" var="fieldAPIName" >
<apex:inputField value="{!sObjectToBind[fieldAPIName]}" style="" rendered="{!Render}">

           <apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!checkboxSelections}" layout="PageDirection" >
<apex:selectOptions value="{!MyCheckboxes}"/>

/apex:selectCheckboxes
/apex:inputField

public list selectOption getMyCheckboxes(){

  string objectname ='rajesh__MForm__c';

list SelectOption options = new list SelectOption ();

Schema.sObjectType objType = sObjectToBind.getSObjectType();

  Schema.DescribeSObjectResult objDescribe = objType.getDescribe();

map    String, Schema.SObjectField   fieldMap = objDescribe.fields.getMap();


for(Schema.SObjectField field : fieldMap.values())
{

  Schema.DescribeFieldResult fieldResult = field.getDescribe();

    if(fieldResult.getType() == Schema.DisplayType.MultiPickList)
    {

         Schema.Picklistentry[] values = fieldResult.getPickListValues();

         Map    String, String> picklists = new Map   String, String  ();

         for(Schema.Picklistentry val: values)
         {
         picklists.put(val.getLabel(), val.getValue());

         fieldpicklists.put(fieldResult.getName(), picklists);
          options.add(new SelectOption(val.getValue(), val.getLabel()));
          }

   }

}
return options;

}

I am talking about using the rendered attribute not the rerender attribute.

Something likes this...

<apex:repeat value="{!listObjectFieldInfoList}" var="fieldInfo">
    <apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!checkboxSelections}" layout="PageDirection" rendered="{!fieldInfo.IsMultiSelectPickList==true}">
        <apex:selectOptions value="{!MyCheckboxes}"/>
    </apex:selectCheckboxes>
    <apex:inputField value="{!sObjectToBind[fieldInfo.fieldAPIName]}" rendered="{!fieldInfo.IsMultiSelectPickList==false}"/>
</apex:repeat>

For this to work you will need to expose an Apex list not just a list of String list fields.

In your controller...

public class FieldInfo
{
    String fieldAPIName {get;set;}
    Boolean IsMultiSelectPickList {get;set;}
}

public List<FieldInfo> listObjectFieldInfoList {get;set;}

Hi andrew Fawcett,
Using above code I tried. I got checkboxes but remaining fields not visible only repeated checkboxes without field name visible on my page .I want display all fields in an visualforce page but Insted of multipicklists Fields place checkboxes Dynamically How?

help me..............

[afawcett]

Are you also setting IsMultiSelectPickList to false when the field is not a multi-select pick list type?

[afawcett]

You might also want to try something like this...

<apex:pageBlockSection title="Fields" columns="2">
    <apex:repeat value="{!listObjectFieldInfoList}" var="fieldInfo">
        <apex:pageBlockSectionItem rendered="{!fieldInfo.IsMultiSelectPickList==true}">
            <apex:outputLabel value="{!fieldInfo.label}"/>
            <apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!checkboxSelections}" layout="PageDirection">
                <apex:selectOptions value="{!MyCheckboxes}"/>
            </apex:selectCheckboxes>
        </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
        <apex:inputField value="{!sObjectToBind[fieldInfo.fieldAPIName]}" rendered="{!fieldInfo.IsMultiSelectPickList==false}"/>
    </apex:repeat>
</apex:pageBlockSection>

[afawcett]

I also spotted a bug, you need to locate the checkboxSelections and MyCheckboxes fields within the each FieldInfo class, so you can support having multiple multi-picklist fields on your object.

<apex:pageBlockSection title="Fields" columns="2">
    <apex:repeat value="{!listObjectFieldInfoList}" var="fieldInfo">
        <apex:pageBlockSectionItem rendered="{!fieldInfo.IsMultiSelectPickList==true}">
            <apex:outputLabel value="{!fieldInfo.label}"/>
            <apex:selectCheckboxes value="{!fieldInfo.checkboxSelections}" layout="PageDirection">
                <apex:selectOptions value="{!fieldInfo.MyCheckboxes}"/>
            </apex:selectCheckboxes>
        </apex:pageBlockSectionItem>
        <apex:inputField value="{!sObjectToBind[fieldInfo.fieldAPIName]}" rendered="{!fieldInfo.IsMultiSelectPickList==false}"/>
    </apex:repeat>
</apex:pageBlockSection>

Hi Andrew Fawcett,
I got following error after using above code

Here My code is there below link

https://github.com/mahesh10811f0011/apex-mdapi/blob/master/Multipicklists%20%20checkboxes

Please send me
[email protected]

[afawcett]

The Visualforce page code here does not look like the examples i've given you?

[mahesh10811f0011]

Hi Andrew Fawcett,
Thai is old code Now i added that location

https://github.com/mahesh10811f0011/apex-mdapi/blob/master/Multipicklists%20%20checkboxes

[afawcett]

Your always passing true?

listObjectFieldInfoList.add(new FieldInfo(fieldResult.getName(),TRUE,fieldResult.getLabel()));

You need to pass true for multi select picklist fields and false for all others.

[afawcett]

Your also not populating MyCheckboxes in your FieldInfo class.

[afawcett]

Please at least try to debug your code.

[mahesh10811f0011]

Hi afawcett ,
This i completed means I complete my metadata project.Not now i try to different ways (from one week to )i saw in debug also but debug logs i removed on that code

[mahesh10811f0011]

Hi afawcett,
please help me.........

[afawcett]

Have you tried my last two suggestions?

[mahesh10811f0011]

Hi Andrew Fawcett,
i try to if and else coditions , In if condition i gave when multiselectpicklist came change these picklists values are checkboxes ,In else condition Multipicklists all disabled and remaining fields i gave True.But there is no result.I con't able to populate MyCheckboxes in my apex class

[afawcett]

Hi, sorry for the late response, are you still struggling with this?

[mahesh10811f0011]

YES

[afawcett]

I'm not sure how i can help you, i am finding it really hard to understand at this point.

I also don't have a lot of time to debug your code for you.

I can only give you suggestions of things to try, but at the moment i don't have any more suggestions.

I know this is not an issue with the Apex Metadata API and more to do with your Visualforce page and code, so I will close this issue.

I can still try to help you here though, just not sure how at this time...

Hi Andrew,
I need to show display the pageblocksection based on multiselect picklist chosen.
Say for the example, I have the multipicklist field in contact object, where the values are one, two, three.
Whenever i choose "One" Option corresponding page block must be showned.

<apex:page standardController="Contact" showHeader="false">
    <apex:pageBlock >
        <apex:pageBlockSection >
            <apex:inputField value="{!contact.Choose_Number__c}">
                <apex:actionSupport event="onchange" reRender="ppc" />
            </apex:inputField>
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="PPC Test" id="ppc" rendered="{!contact.Choose_Number__c == 'PPC'}">
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Could you help me to achieve this?

[afawcett]

@yuvrajdeveloper this is not the correct issue, nor the correct repository to be asking this type of general vf question. I have however in this instance, responded to your other issue, lets continue chatting on that one.
