Some times you find a solution after posting a question...

I'm posting the answer for other to come, here we go:

1. add a rule for the button.

2, add an action of: "set a field's value" in "rules menu"

3. in field, look-up for the text-box in the main data source.

4. in value(pay good attention here) :

click the Fx

click insert a field or group
choose the data source that you used to fill the drop-down
click on the parameter that you used for the display name
click on filter data, pay attention again! Now you filter the data of the list

click add
click the fields data source(mine was value) that you used to display in the value of the drop-down.
click is equal to
click select a field or a group, Pay attention again!

choose(again) the main Data source.
choose the drop-down.

click ok 5 times!

Set a textbox value with a dusaplyname of a dropdown

Hi,

I have a drop-down, button and text-box. The Data of the drop-down is filled from a Share-Point list(but I don't think this matters).

When I click the button, I want to fill the text-box with the display name of the selected value of the drop-down, I was able to fill only the value but not the display name, how can I do it?

I tried(in the set fields value):

dfs:dataFields/my:SharePointListItem_RW/my:FirstValue[@DisplayName]

dfs:dataFields/my:SharePointListItem_RW/my:FirstValue[@Name]

dfs:dataFields/my:SharePointListItem_RW/my:FirstValue/@DisplayName]

dfs:dataFields/my:SharePointListItem_RW/my:FirstValue/@Name

non of them work

Thank in advance for the help.
