Hi,
If you are using WD Java following are steps of filling values in DD Box:
1 Create a simple type in the Dictionary.

3 Write following code in the init method of the form:
IWDAttributeInfo countryinfo =
wdContext.nodeEmployee().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("CountryNew");
ISimpleTypeModifiable Country = countryinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
Country.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();

How to set a default value in a Value Help Drop Down List

My requirement is to set a default value e.g. 30-34 in the age range field.
I want to give input to iform from my Implementation code only.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

hi Ranjan,
that means you have to set at design time,
to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context
like
wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<default value>)
This generally done in Initialization method of the controller.

Does anyone know how to Add a date drop down list to a pdf file?

Can someone tell me how to add a Date drop down list in a form

There's no built-in function that does that in Acrobat, but there are some third-party tools that do.
The two most known ones are by FormRouter, which is free and based on form fields (but also a bit buggy), and a non-free version created by Max Wyss, which is based on a dialog object.

Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
TextField1.rawValue
After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
DropDownList1.clearItems()
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
DropDownList3.clearItems()
DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

Webdynpro " How to add values in Drop down list By Key"

Hi experts ,
i want to create a drop down list by key, i don't know how to assign values to it ( i.e. add list entries ) . Please help me on this ..
With regards ,
James..
Valuable answers will be rewarded ....

Hi,
To fix values to the drop down key at runtime in the webdynpro application you can use the following code:
DATA:
lr_node_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
l_scarr type scarr,
lt_value_set TYPE TABLE OF wdr_context_attr_value,
lw_value_set like line of lt_value_set.
get nodeinfo of node flightinfo
lr_node_flightinfo = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'FLIGHTINFO' ).
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo = lr_node_flightinfo->get_node_info( ).
get value set (VALUE = CARRID , TEXT = CARRNAME)
select carrid carrname from scarr into table lt_value_set.
clear lw_value_set.
lw_value_set-value = 'AI'.
lw_value_set-text = 'Air India'.
append lw_value_set to lt_value_set.
sort the value set by the describing TEXT
SORT lt_value_set BY text.
set value to context attribute
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo->set_attribute_value_set(
name = 'CARRID' value_set = lt_value_set ).
Here CARRID is a drop down by key field on the screen.
in The context it is an attribute in the node FLIGHTINFO.
Please give Reward Points if this piece of code helps

Manish

How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?
I like seeing which search engine I have selected and the ability to change it with a drop down list BEFORE I highlight text, right-click, and select ' Search Google for "xxxx" '
Any way to roll back this latest "improvement"?

If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

How to add a dynamic drop down list in RDLC reports in WPF

I have to Load an RDLC report in WPF application and need to include a drop down list in report.Based on the selection of drop down list different reports to be generated.I am using C# and WPF.
Eg: I have to list the details of employees in in RDLC report.There is a country drop down list, Based on the selection of country drop down list we need to display details of employees in the selected country.

Looking good.
With rdlc I think you will have to use the windows report viewer control.
If this was SAP crystal reports there's a wpf report viewer.
I never actually tried that with rdlc and I suppose there is a small chance they turn out to be compatible.
If you have questions on rdlc specifically then you're probably better finding a forum specialises in that. Not sure where that would be but maybe in the sql server forums. It's a business intelligence thing and people who do the likes of ssis are
what you want really.
I do reporting myself but I think you'll find few others who do so here.
Good luck.
Hope that helps.

How to add a interactive drop-down list

I want a drop-down list that will add a set of required fields based on the choice from the list.
In this case, we want users to fill in their job title, and based on that title selected we need them to fill in specific licensing information. I haven't found a javascript (or I don't have the expertise) to make this happen. I have done forms in the past that would just hide unneeded fields, but is there a way to actually have the fields become active, or appear based on the list selections?

Yes, it's possible. The general code would be something like this (as the drop-down field's custom validation script):
var field1 = this.getField("FieldName1");
var field2 = this.getField("FieldName2");
var field3 = this.getField("FieldName3");
if (event.value=="Value1") { // Show field1, hide the rest
     field1.display = display.visible;
     field2.display = display.hidden;
     field3.display = display.hidden;
} else if (event.value=="Value2") { // Show field1 and field2, hide the rest
     field1.display = display.visible;
     field2.display = display.visible;
     field3.display = display.hidden;
} else if (event.value=="Value3") { // Show all fields
     field1.display = display.visible;
     field2.display = display.visible;
     field3.display = display.visible;
} else { // hide all fields
     field1.display = display.hidden;
     field2.display = display.hidden;
     field3.display = display.hidden;
PS. Make sure you tick the option to commit the selected value of the drop-down field immediately (under the field's Properties - Options).

How can I add categories to drop-down lists or check-boxes?

hello can I use sub categories or group items by labels when using drop-down lists or check-boxes?

You can't include sub-menus in a drop-down. What is possible, though, is to populate another drop-down based on the selection made in the first one, or use a pop-up menu. Both things require a script, though.

Thanks for your help
Cindy

Hi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Adding Drop Down List values from table fields

Hi all,
Recently we have switched from Microsoft's Infopath to Adobe's LiveCycle Designer. In InfoPath i was able to allow a user to enter data in a table and then use that data as values for a drop downlist, which could in turn be used in another table. Infopath made it relatively easy to do this, but I assume it requires scripting in LiveCycle. Here is an example that make make it easier to to explain:
Let's say we have a form with a table that has a colomn where the user can enter a value in a table let's say "Computer Name":
Computer Name | IP | Vendor | Serial Number|
PC 1
---------------------| 192.168.2.34| HP | US4839494
PC 2
PC 3
PC 4
Further down the form there is a nother table with a drop down list. I want the values of the drop down list to be what ever values were entered for "Computer Name" in the previous table. So in this case the table would look like this:
Computer Name | Acquisition Date| End of Life Date
<Drop DownList>| 07/21/2010 | 07/21/2014
The drop downlist values would be "PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4" or whatever values were entered in the previous table. Essentially, I am trying to avoid from having users type in "Computer Name" data every time the "Computer Name" needs to be entered. It would be so much easier to enter all "Computer Name" values and then use those values as part of a drop down list to avoid excessive typing.
I hope this makes sense, it is fairly easy to do in InfoPath and I am sure there is a way to do this in LiveCycle.
Let me know if my explanation is not clear enough.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, but it doesn't seem to quite accomplish what I am trying to do. I've tried using global binding as you specified, but the outcome is not exactly what I want. Perhaps this drawing can help depict what I am trying to do:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/153/dropdownlist.png/
On the picture I manually defined the values for the drop down list. Again, I want these values to be taken from "Computer Name" in the table above.
Thanks!
