Adobe LiveCycle Drop Down List which allows typing to filter the values in a Drop Down list

I have a drop down list in my form with contains a lot of different numbers, text, countries, cities and states, etc.
I would like the user to either have the option to only use the drop down list or they can type "Zapple" or any portion and have it populate the value.
Is there a setting or code which I can use which will do this?
Currently, if the user types the first letter or number it will take them to the beginning of the list (since I have them listed alphabetically/numerically), but I'd prefer they can type beyond the first character and pinpoint the option they're looking for.
Thank you for any help

The whole sample will need to be updated. As I said in the email it can be done but it will be complex. This particular sample requires an external xml file. You will need to pull this from data in the form.

  • Getting the value from a Drop Down Box

    I'm working on a database project to keep track of our Blackberrys. The problem I'm having is entering the values for two drop down boxes. The page I'm working on enters the FirstName, LastName, Department, and Location. Department and Location have thier own Primary Keys and are foreign keys in the Person table. Departments and Locations are aligned by numbers like 1 = Ohio, 2 = Chicago. They
    don't automatically increase. The problem I'm having is entering them as a foreign key in the Person Table. I'm not sure if I use a getValue or getSelected or some other code to get the values to populate in the Person Table. I just keep getting a can't add department or location to table.
    public String newUser_action() {
    // TODO: Process the button click action. Return value is a navigation
    // case name where null will return to the same page.
    if (personDataProvider.canAppendRow()) {
    try {
    RowKey rowKey =
    personDataProvider.appendRow();
    personDataProvider.setValue(
    "DBO.PERSON.FIRSTNAME", rowKey,
    firstName.getText());

    I have an I phone 4. When I bought it the google maps app came pre installed. I am in the process of adding thousands of customers into my stock contacts app. Sometimes I want to drop a pin in an exact location on the property. I drop it, assign it to the contact, leave the app, and then come back into the contacts app and click on the address. It then takes me into google maps where I constantly discover that the pin has moved. It often moves off the property of the addresss or building I dropped a pin on. I am trying to solve this. I want that pin to stay in the exact location that I dropped it. Can somebody please help?

    Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.

  • Using the values from a drop down list to display in a separate cell

    Hi all,
    I must apologise if I don;t use the right 'terminology' as I am just an ordinary guy who uses a mac. I am also deaf which means I am totally dependant on the internet for fixing solutions.
    Basically, I wanted to create a drop down list which I had no problem doing.
    In the drop down, I have the options One-Piece, Two-Piece and Three-Quarter.
    I would like to get it so that when I select the One-Piece, the value of 160 appears in a separate cell. If I select Two-Piece, then I would need 130 to appear in that separate cell. Likewise, Three-Quarter to produce 150.
    Just to clarify, if we had a two-column and one row table, then the drop-down would be in A1, which the values would appear in B1.
    I do not know the formula, and cannot find any instructions anywhere as I am probably using the wrong terminology or function name!
    Any help would be much, much appreciated..
    Carl

    I don't guess what I may add.
    The contents of the table named lookup appear on the screenshot.
    cell A1 contains the string One-Piece, cell B1 contains the 'associated' value 160.
    cell A2 contains the string Two-Piece, cell B2 contains the 'associated' value 130.
    cell A3 contains the string Three-Quarter, cell B3 contains the 'associated' value 150.
    Now table Main
    In column B the cells contain a pop_up menu with four items like the ones described by Jerrold.
    In column C of the cells contain the formula :
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 2 :: A:B,2,FALSE),"")
    I enhanced it since yesterdays because I forgot to treat the case when cell is blank in column B.
    I apologize but as I'm using my machine in French, the screenshot display the French formulas.
    I repeat that you may find useful infos in the PDFs files which we may download from the menus:
    Help > Numbers User Guide
    Help > iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide
    As you are in Stoke-on-Trent maybe your system is set to use the comma as decimal separator.
    If it's that, you must replace the comma by semi-colons in the formulas (you may see them in my screenshot).

  • How to grab the value from a drop down list inside a table cell

    Hello,
    My situation is I have a few columns displayed in a table format using repeater tag. Some cells is a dropdown list(<netui:select /> tag). My question is how can I grab the value when user made a selection.
    I believe I can get the row index but I can't use the datasource attribute to get the user selection since it is in a repeater. All the cell use the same datasource and workshop will give "NULL" value when there are more than one tag bind to the same form valiable.
    Any suggestion are very much appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance.
    My snippet code are:
    <netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageFlow.ownedTask}"><netui-data:repeaterHeader></netui-data:repeaterHeader>
    <tr valign="top">
    <td><netui:select dataSource="{actionForm.userName}" optionsDataSource="{pageFlow.nameList}" onChange="getUser()" ></netui:select>
    </td>
    <td><netui:select dataSource="{actionForm.empDept}" optionsDataSource="{pageFlow.deptList}" onChange="getSelectedDept()" ></netui:select>
    </td>
    <td><netui:label value="{container.item.status}" />
    </td>
    </tr>
    </netui-data:repeaterItem>
    <netui-data:repeaterFooter></netui-data:repeaterFooter>
    </netui-data:repeater>

    1) let drop down box be g_dd.
      if g_dd is initial.
      g_dd = option2.
      endif.
    2)
    by default same pf-status is used by all the screens in the same program
    if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
    set pf-status 'abc' excluding 'fcode_of_button'
    endif.
    or
    data: git_fcode type sy-ucomm with header line.
    git_fcode = 'fcode_of_button'.
    append git_fcode.
    if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
    set pf-status excluding git_fcode
    endif.

  • Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.2 Installation Error can't configure the App Server from Config Manager

    Hello All-
    We are trying to install the Adobe LiveCycle ES 8.2 SP2 and we are getting some issues while configuring the Application Server from the Config Manager, not sure why are those showing up, we never had these issues before when we installed 8.0, please look at the lcm log and the screenshot I provided for the errors which we are getting.
    We are trying to configure the remote Application Server WebSphere on Linux from my machine which is on Windows and i made the target Application Server as WebSphere and target platform as linux when i initially installed the livecycle media.
    The LCM logs say it failed to run the jacl scripts in the LiveCycle root directory and we wonder why is it pointing for the target Application Server to the Application Server which resides on my machine rather than it should point to the one on server. I am not sure what's going on and we did exactly what we did for 8.0.
    Below are the environment details where we are trying to install.
    Adobe LiveCycle ES: 8.2 SP2
    Database: IBM DB2 9.1 FP4.
    JVM Version and Vendor: 1.5.0 IBM Corporation
    Application server: IBM WebSphere Application Server/6.1.0.19
    Operating System: Linux
    Hardware: x86 .
    Any help will be appreciated!
    Thanks-
    Karthik.

    Hi All,
    Even i was facing the same issue but i was able to resolve it.
    Although the earlier reply from karthik_chowdary was sent way back in 2008 and i think would have got resolved till now, but still the resolution which i have found is
    The port i was using on the app server conf screen was that of application server HTTP Port.
    But here in case of WebSphere ND, we need to use port specified in WAS UI > System administrator > Deployment manager > Ports
    Try using that by default it is 8879.
    And this resolved the issue.

  • How do I get the line above the tasks, which allows you to edit the cell contents, without double clicking the cell?

    As title says.
    Normally in Gantt Chart View, above the tasks there's a line which displays the contents of the cell you have selected, and allows you to edit the contents without having to double click the cell.
    In my case, this line is not there, and it is slightly hindering my work.
    So, does anyone know where I should go to re-enable this line?
    Thanks a lot!

  • What defines the values observable in a dropdown list?

    Hello everyone,
    We use a a dynamic entry list to define the input values of the user for 0CALMONTH.
    Therefor we chose a query on a multiprovider and selected 0CALMONTH for output.
    We also get now a nice dropdown list, BUT
    the values start 3.1995 and end 3.2005.
    This is very strange, becaus the query should deliver much more values.
    What is defining where the values of the drop down list start and where they end?
    sinecerly
    mark

    Hi Sandeep Patki,
    Well, I have chosen a dynamic list, but because of that I am not able to go to the query anymore.
    I was only able to chose the query onces at the beginning when i made the list (because it is not globally).
    I dont think it is master data. 0CALMONTH has no master data (or maybe I did not understand you properly).
    I figured out that the list which is shown to me is identical with the value help list (F4 help)
    when I try to have a look at the entries in my infocube.

  • In which table can I find the value of em/total_size_mb?

    Hi,
    I want to write a little report that lists a few distinct parameters. Most of them one can find in TPFYPROPTY but I don't know where to look for em/total_size_mb. I know that RSPARAM shows the value of em/total_size_mb but until know i did not find out where ( in which table e.g. ) this value is stored. I will study RSPARAM but suggestions are welcome :-). Maybe its saved nowhere an RSPARAM just calculates its?
    Thanks and best regards
    floweb

    Hi,
    Value for em/total_size_mb is stored in following path which is at application server.
    /usr/sap/<System id>/SYS/profile/<System id>_DVEBMGS10_<host>

  • Change distance and size of drop shadow does not allow me to use the arrow up/down, or any of the effects windows.

    Does anyone know why I'm not able to use the up/down arrow shown above. This has only happened recently.

    You have two different blending modes on your layer that are neutralizing each other.
    You probably have your text on a separate layer.
    In the the Effects PANEL (NOT the dialog box) you have the blending mode set to SCREEN.
    In the Effects DIALOG box you have drop shadow with the default MULTIPLY blending mode.
    See the setting in the lower left of the dialog box.
    Object is set to Screen 100% ( in the Effects PANEL)
    But the Drop Shadow is set to MULTIPLY in Effects DIALOG box
    These settings are canceling out each other.

    Not sure what help you think the other users here can offer.  You obviously water-damaged your phone.
    You have a few options:
    1) do nothing
    2) purchase a new phone
    3) bring your phone and $149.00 to Apple for an out of warranty exchange
    4) find a 3rd party iPhone repair shop

  • Can the value of a drop down be used as part of an SQL query?

    I am using JDeveloper11g to develop a web application that displays some data from a database table. To do so I created Business Component from Table (Entity) that represents one of the tables in the database. I then use a panelCollection component to display the data of the tables.
    Assuming that the SQL of this entity is as follows:
    SELECT test.field1 FROM test WHERE test.field2 = :MyVariableCan I somehow set :MyVariable to be equal to the value selected by a user from a selectOneChoice component?

    Yes, you can. Check out setNamedWhereClauseParam method.
