Can you display a calendar in a drop down menu to select a date

I would like to display a calendar in a drop down menu like in
outlook's calendar appointments. Is this possible with forms
and how can it be done. I haven't been able to find anything in
the book I have. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Jim

I am sure this is possible. There is a calendar object on the Forms and Demos CD but I have created my own calendar just using a single form that is called from every date field.
Create your calendar using a single date item that is populated by a parameter - this will be either the date from the field or sysdate. Create the other elements of the calendar as calculated items based on the first item +1, +2 etc. Use a when-mouse-click trigger to get the user's selection and pass it back to the date field via a global variable or a shared PL/SQL library.
To make it more like the Outlook calendar you will have to add a button next to every date field and add code to position the calendar according to the field position. You may prefer not to bother to do that - I just open the calendar centrally on screen and activate it using key-listval and/or a pop-up menu.
Hope this gives you an idea.

  • Display normal text instead of drop down menu

    I have two tables. One is the customer particular, which has RaceID(int) as one of the field. The other
    table is Race, which has RaceID(int) and Race(char). Both of these tables are linked together.
    I have the following code generated from Ultradev when I am using Dynamic Elements Server Behavior.
    I will gonna do a search page, which list the value of Race of customer in normal text for each staff,
    not the drop down menu(but during insert page, I am using drop down menu to enter the data). How to
    do that?
    Codes:(This code will generate a drop down menu which compare the value in the customer particular and
    the race tables. If selected, display that one with the drop down menu.
    <select name="race">
    <%
    while (Race_hasData) {
    %>
    <option value="<%=((Race.getObject("raceID")!=null)?Race.getObject("raceID"):"")%>" <%=(((Race.getObject("raceID")).toString().equals(((((Matching_data
    = Matching.getObject("raceID"))==null || Matching.wasNull())?"":Matching_data)).toString()))?"SELECTED":"")%>
    <%=((Race.getObject("race")!=null)?Race.getObject("race"):"")%></option><%
    Race_hasData = Race.next();
    Race.close();
    Race = StatementRace.executeQuery();
    Race_hasData = Race.next();
    Race_isEmpty = !Race_hasData;
    %>
    </select>

    don't use <select>, use <input type = "text"> instead and you will get text box.

  • How can you change a drop down menu's selection in a case statement?

    Hi,
    I am trying to an array finding vi. This VI will take an existing xml file and after the user has selected his/her equipment, input, output, and frequency it will put all of those options into a string and search the xml file for that exact array name and display it on an output screen. The problem I am having is that my input and outputs selection needs to be a little different depending upon the equipment selected. I thought that I could use a case statement to change the input and output selectable options, but I have run into many snags with it. For one everytime I place a new Input and Output drop down menu in the case statement it wants to place a new one in the front panel (I only want one input and output not three I have two inputs and outputs hidden right now). I believe I am using the case statement wrong... Can anyone help change my input and output selectable options depending upon the equipment selected. Attached is my xml file, Array Find.vi (the original one), and Array Find_Test.vi (this is the one I am trying to modify).
    Thanks,

    Hi dlovell,
    There are 2 key things I'd recommend for the code - using property nodes to edit the strings in the combo boxes.  Something like the following snippet:
    Also, check your CPU in task manager when running the code.  It will eat a whole core of your machine (25% quad core, 50% dual, 100% single) - that is because you are running the while loop and polling the control as fast as Windows will allow you to.  Using Event Structures is a much more efficient way of working in this example.
    Check out the MOD attached

  • The bookmarks themselves exist. How can I put them back in the drop-down menu I have from Vista-Aero theme ?

    This happens when I start Firefox (v. 3.6.28) from desktop. I ussually start it from quick launch. I have a star shaped button, top left, that works like a drop-down menu for my bookmarks. But now there's only a small window there, and the bookmarks do not appear anymore. They are stored in the Bookmarks>>Unsorted bookmarks tab. But how the hell do I get them to the drop menu ?
    Did I mention that Restore doesn't ....... do anything ?
    Also I haven't changed any settings in the last 2 weeks.
    ''Edited by a moderator due to language. See the [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines Rules & Guidelines] .''

    Staying with Firefox 3.6 is both EXTREMELY Insecure (you are vulnerable to almost every hole on [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html] since Firefox 12), and you are using a version that is significantly slower, doesn't support modern web technology, and has known bugs (crashes, freezes, etc.). If it's just the UI you don't like, you can quickly and easily change the UI to look exactly like 3.6.
    So, until you update you are knowingly using an old version of software with dozens of known bugs.

  • How Can I Put Multiple Columns in a Drop-Down Menu?

    We are trying to put multiple columns in a drop-down menu, similar to what is on these web sites...
    http://www.cabelas.com/
    http://www.target.com/  (This site has the multiple columns on the Women, Home, Kitching & Dining, Toys, Electronics, and See More categories).
    If anyone has any suggestions for coding, please reply.
    Thank you.
    Wil Radcliffe

    As an <li> tag is not a block level element like a <p> or <div> tag you can store a <div> container within the <li> tag and create an element in that menu item and us the following tutorial to create multiple columns depending on the ordering:
    http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlists
    Depending on your target browser you could also use the CSS3 column-count to define the amount of columns.  But with just a quick glance at this I would say it only works in the the later versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE9+.

  • How to display further information when a drop down menu option has been selected.

    Hi all,
    Thank you in advance for any replies!
    I'm building a website which has a drop down menu (HTML for the menu is below). When a TV size is selected i need the pricing information for that specific TV size to appear below the menu.
    Is there a way to do this?
    Thank you!
    <select name="Please select your TV Size" size="1">
            <option> </option>
            <option>Less than 42&quot;</option>
            <option>More Than 42&quot;</option>
          </select>

    Sure it is. And Nancy has given you a good alternative as well.
          <p>TV1 <input id="num1" type="radio" checked value="tv1" onclick="document.getElementById('tv1').style.display='block';document.getElementById('tv 2').style.display='none';this.checked=true;document.getElementById('num2').checked=false;" ></p>
          <p>TV2 <input id="num2" type="radio" value="tv2" onclick="document.getElementById('tv2').style.display='block';document.getElementById('tv 1').style.display='none';this.checked=true;document.getElementById('num1').checked=false;" ></p>
    <div id="tv1">Info for TV1</div>
    <div id="tv2">Info for TV2</div>
    With this CSS -
    <style type="text/css">
    #tv1 { display:block; }
    #tv2 { display:none; }
    </style>
    Should work.

  • How can I locate the drop down menu to select thumbnails for viewing my photos?

    I am using Microsoft Windows Vista. I select Files> Get photos and Videos> From Files and Folders.  I select my photos and In my views I have a choice of different size icons, list, details and tiles.  The icons are a flower image. When I select an image to view it only appears as an extra large icon on the middle right side of the moniter.  I would like to view the thumbnail of the photo bfore I bring to my organizer.  The drop down menu doesn't have a choice for thumbnail.  

    Perhaps I need to supply more details.  I am using PSE9.  I haven't any problem importing the images into the Organizer as I just select the Icons and select "Get Media" or "Open" and they transfer over to the Organizer.  I would like to see the image as a thumbnail not an icon when when making the selection.  If I right click them, the Icon, and select open they will open in "Windows Live Photo Gallery".
    The icons are now listed on the left  side of the monitor about the right middle it states "Select A File To Preview".  When I select a file (icon) a large file (icon) appears in that area and it should be a thumbnail of the image. Somehow I can't locate the drop down menu taht permits me to make that selection.  I think it has something to do with my files being able to open in Windows Live Photo Gallery when right clicking and select Open.  Is the drop down menu only available in Windows 7?

  • Acrobat Forms - Make fillable text box appear after box checked or drop down menu item selected

    I have been asked to build an approvals form for my workplace however the approval processes vary considerably depending on the subject. I have been asked to create a list of topics in the form of check boxes or a drop down menu which will then populate a list of text boxes with differing approval authorities and corresponding spaces for signatures.  i.e. if 'Topic 1' is selected a list of names and signature spaces will appear, however if 'Topic 2' is selected a different list of names and signature spaces will appear instead.
    In order to achieve this I think I only need to find out how to link check boxes or drop down menu items to the appearance of different text boxes.
    I should also add that I am a beginner with this stuff.
    Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

    Remove the red coloured part
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
    left: auto;
    top:0;
    or start again with the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css and follow the rules as in http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one.
    Either way will get you back on track.
    Good luck.

    Hi Katie,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
    Numbers vocabulary for this feature is a "Pop-up Menu". It's available as a Cell Format, and is set and edited in the Cell Format Inspector.
    See "Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells" starting on page 96 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.
    This guide, and the equally useful iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are available for download through the Help menu in Numbers.

  • How can I place email aliases in my drop-down menu?

    I have 5 aliases attached to my me.com/icloud.com account, but only two of them appear in the "From" drop-down box in Mail since I moved to OS Mavericks.
    How can I add the others to the options available there?

    Oddly, you do this at icloud.com. Copied from iCloud help:
    Select addresses you can send from
    In iCloud Mail, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu in the sidebar.
    Click Composing.
    Choose the address you usually use from the “Set a default address” pop-up menu.
    In the list of addresses, select the ones you want to be able to send from while using iCloud Mail.The selected addresses appear in the From pop-up menu when you create a new email message.
    This also affects the desktop Mail app.

  • Why can't I scroll in the bookmarks drop-down menu? It used to scroll, now it doesn't.

    I have a large number of bookmarks, and the ones I use most frequently are at the top and bottom of the list. There use to be a scrollbar on the side. Now it's gone.

    You can achieve this without an extension via code in userChrome.css
    Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

  • With 4.0.1 I can no longer click on Google's drop down menu

    Since I got my upgrade, when I try to click on the dropdown menu in the Google toolbar to return to a previous search, nothing happens. This is very annoying and like a previous questioner I would like to go back to my earlier version of Firefox - I cannot see any advantages of this one - but that does not seem to be an option.

    Right click the Back or Forward buttons to get a list of the sites you visited previously.
    You can also install this add-on if you like: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
    If you'd still prefer to go back to the previous version, do the following.
    Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop.
    Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to '''Mozilla Firefox '''and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
    Then reboot and delete the folder called '''Mozilla Firefox''' at this location: ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
    Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
    After you complete the installation, go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update those where necessary.
    '''EDIT''': I just noticed your Flash installation is out of date which might contribute to the problem. To update, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
