Combo Box - XFBR as Bound Parameter

Has anyone figured out a way to use an XFBR to determine the Bound Parameter on a Combo Box?

It seems like a no-brainer that this should be possible but I've not been able to figure out how.

Hoping someone has figured out what the syntax on the XFBR has to be to make this work or can confirm that this isn't possible.  Thanks

    Are you talking about this setting on a combo box?

    If so, i don't believe you can use an XFBR - i think it must be the actual parameter name.

      Thanks for confirming that I'm not imagining this.  Seems like this is something that should be possible given you can use XFBR pretty much everywhere else.

    You can definitely do this. For instance you can reference an XFBR to return a delimited string as the source for the combo box values

    Hi Karl,

    Thanks for clarifying. I was referring to using the XFBR in a parameter bound to the combo box. Devil is in the detail 🙂
