Parameterized named query, where the dropdown allows the selection of the parameter:

- Make a named query that takes a parameter
- Put a query binding on the text box
- Use the dropdown's value as parameter in the binding
- You'll need to either make the named query return a scalar, or add a transform to the binding to format the returned value

That's it.

In the binding's configuration window, there a field for each parameter. Click on the property browser icon and select the property you want to bind against.

But more importantly: Go watch the inductive university videos. This is VERY basic stuff. You can't just ask on the forum for this, or you'll spend your days asking questions and never understand what you're doing.
