Creating Combo Box or Pop list
I created list of values.But i never used combo box and poplist.I created a item and in itemtype i changed to listitems and functionality nodes changed to combo box.How to generate value in the list through programatically.Can any one help me .
Thanks
You can create both static values and also
values based on record group .
I think you know how to create static values.
(for static just give the values in "Element List" property of list item)
Using Record group. see this example.
Declare
Rg_Id RecordGroup;
Rg_Name varchar2(20) := 'Type';
List_Id Item;
Temp Number;
Rowcount Number;
Begin
Rg_Id := Find_Group('Type');
If Not Id_Null(Rg_Id) Then
Delete_Group(Rg_Id);
End If;
Rg_Id := Create_Group_From_Query('Type','select empno,'
| |'empno'
| |' from emp ');
List_Id := Find_Item('CTRL_BLOCK.IT_LIST');
Temp := populate_Group(Rg_Id);
Populate_List(List_Id,Rg_Id);
End;
In the selection you must give two columns one for label and another one for value.
Try this and let me know if you have any problem.

With combo box, a pop up is appeared always....
Hello,
first of all, i use a combo box and a pie chart.
When clicking on a pie slide, i ve activate a pop up window (enable drill-down, insertion type: status list ).
If i close the pop up, using a push button (in data insertion -> Source data : a blank cell & in data insertion -> Destination : the corresponding cell of the pie slide for which the pop up should be appeared ), and then i choose another label from combo box, the pop up window is appeared again without having clicked on the corresponding pie slide before....
So, is there any trick / solution to the above problem??
thanks in advance!Hi Ramana,
i 've done exactly what you suggest but the problem still exists....
Here is what i ve done....
At drill down tab of initial pie chart, have you setted a Source Data area? (destination data is the cell B32 as you suggest...).
As i set insertion type of enable drill down "Row", i write the legends of initial pie chart in a row at Excel.. e.g.
A B C D
77 legend1 (cell A77) legend2 (cell B77) legend3 (C77) 0
78 0 0 0
79
I set:
Source data : A78:C78
Destination : A78
A79 = IF(OR(A79= "legend1";A79= "legend2";A79= "legend3");A79=1000;A79=4000)
At pop up pie chart:
dynamic visibility : Status (A79) & Key (1000)
at push button: Source data (D77) & Destination (A78)
At your xlf file you don't face this problem by setting these options? I might do something wrong.. i dont know..!
Should i ve missed something, please let me know...
Thanks a lot... -
Difference between Combo Box and Dropdown List
Hi All,
I would like to know the difference between the elements 'Combo box' and 'Dropdown List' in VC. I am facing an issue where i am invoking an entry list and the output of the first element the entry list returns is getting reflected as the output for all the elements...
So even if 2nd and 3rd row of the o/p from the entry list is giving only 2 items, if the 1st row returns only 1 then we are able to see only 1 item. Its as if the 1st row decides the items to be returned for all the rows.
Please help.Hi Hezi,
I have 2 columns in my table. First column is 'material number' and the 2nd one is 'production version'. There can 1,2 or 3 production version for each material. [This information is stored in the backend] This is retrieved through a method which invokes a bapi which in turn retrieves from the backend.
I have provided a dropdown list for the 'production version' column. Lets say there are 2 rows. Material 1 and material 2. Lets say material 1 has 1 production version and material 2 has 2 production version. So rightfully speaking i should have 1 option in the dropdown for material 1 and 2 for material 2.
But what i seeing is only 1 option for both the materials. This is wrong.
Is there something that can be done to ensure that each row reflects the correct no. of options in the dropdown? -
Creating a databound JSP pop-list (with dependent values)
I was able to create a databound JSP pop-list from the "How To Create a Databound Pop-list with Oracle JDeveloper 10g" article. Where would I have to modify the code so that I can define a WHERE clause to the DepartmentView object so that only a subset of values are displayed? My goal is to try to create pop-lists so that the values of pop-list #2 is dependent on the current value in pop-list #1.

Is there a way on a MAC to create a Combo Box Drop Down list with multiple email addresses?
I'm trying to create a Submit To button on a form that allows me to choose between five different people and their email addresses.
This one form can be sent to five different people, and if I just want to send to one, how do I program that in a combo box?
Can anyone please help??Yes I believe JavaScript may be the answer because I can't seem to get anything else to work.
Currently the email will only need to be sent to one recipient at a time.
I am very unfamiliar with JavaScript and am just starting to dive into it. Would you be able to help me with the coding?
Thank you this sounds very promising! -
The Java Studio Creator (2004Q2, Update 8) help screen says that �Dropdown lists are the same as combo boxes in Swing and Microsoft Windows.�
According to a SUN Java Swing web page, �Combo boxes require little screen space, and their editable (text field) form is useful for letting the user quickly choose a value without limiting the user to the displayed values.�
How does one get the Combo box functionality (i.e. editable text field) in Dropdown lists in Creator?
Thank you.Hi,
Combo boxes are of two types, editable and non editable. Reference to this can be found at:
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/jlf/index.html
The dropdown list component provided in Creator is a non editable combo box. Also please refer to the Writing custom components for Creator by Edwin Goei available at:
http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javatools/SunJavaStudioCreator
Hope this helps
Cheers

I currently have a combo box in my movie. The selections are 1, 2, 3, and 4. I would like to generate another X combo boxes of the same structure based on that number. I.e. Someone choose 2 in ComboBoxA. So 2 of ComboxB's are generated below that.
Can someone help with the syntax?
Thanks,
Brandonimport mx.controls.ComboBox;
var tl:MovieClip = this;
var lo:Object = new Object();
lo.close = function(eobj:Object) {
for (var i = 0; i<eobj.target.selectedItem.label; i++) {
var cba:ComboBox = tl.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox,"cb_"+i,i);
cba._x = cb._x;
cba._y = cb._y+(i+1)*cba._height;
cba.dataProvider = [whatever];
cb.addEventListener("close",lo); -
I am using ActionScript to create component instances for use
within the
Accordion component. One of those ia a ComboBox where one can
select an
entry from a list of twenty items. The ComboBox works
properly in the Flash
IDE but not when uploaded to the site. All other dynamically
created
components work fine. I should also mention that the SWF is
loaded into a
maste SWF as a movie clip using the loadMovie statement. That
doesn't seem
to be the problem sice most components work.
Anyone have any thoughts?It was done this way from the start.
I should clarify. The combobox appears correctly but will not
function
(i.e., it does not open to reveal the choices.
Thanks anyway.

How to populate the combo boxes that are created dynamically in jsp
Hi,
I am using JSP.
I am creating combo boxes dynamically (based on the num selected by the user). These dynamically created combo boxes need to have A-Z as options (each box) . Now, when the user chooses the option A in any of the combo-boxes,the rest should not have this option. so on..
how do i achieve this.Kindly help.You'll need to use JavaScript...I have a complicated example and a simple example, however, I cannot really understand the complex example but I know how it works. The looping is too complex for me.
First you'll need to populate a server side variable...depending on how often the data is updated you may want this to run each time a new session is created...this example is run each time Tomcat is started and the application context is initialized:
package kms.web;
// Servlet imports
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
// utility imports
import java.util.Map;
// domain imports
import kms.domain.LocationService;
import kms.domain.DeptService;
import kms.domain.PatentService;
* This listenter is used to initialize
* the Maps of Locations, Patents & Depts used to populate
* pulldown lists in JSPs
public class InitializeData implements ServletContextListener {
* This method creates the Maps.
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
ServletContext context = sce.getServletContext();
LocationService lServ = new LocationService();
// Create the Maps
Map campuses = lServ.getCampuses();
Map buildings = lServ.getBuildings();
Map floors = lServ.getFloors();
Map locs = lServ.getLocations();
// And store them in the "context" (application) scope
context.setAttribute("campuses", campuses);
context.setAttribute("buildings", buildings);
context.setAttribute("floors", floors);
context.setAttribute("locs", locs);
DeptService dServ = new DeptService();
Map depts = dServ.getDepts();
context.setAttribute("depts", depts);
PatentService pServ = new PatentService();
Map patents = pServ.getPatents();
context.setAttribute("patents", patents);
//I did this one myself
/* CodeService cServ = new CodeService();
Map masterMks = cServ.getCodes();
context.setAttribute("masterMks", masterMks);
* This method is necessary for interface.
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
// I have no clue what the heck this is for???
// Let me know if you do!
}So now we travel into the PatentService method called 'getPatents();' which in turn calls a PatentDAO method
Map patents = pServ.getPatents();
Below is the code for the PatentService object:
package kms.domain;
import kms.util.ObjectNotFoundException;
import java.util.*;
* This object performs a variety of dept services, like retrieving
* a dept object from the database, or creating a new dept object.
public class PatentService {
* The internal Data Access Object used for database CRUD operations.
private PatentDAO patentDAO;
* This constructor creates a Dept Service object.
public PatentService() {
patentDAO = new PatentDAO();
public Map getPatents() {
Map patents = null;
try {
patents = patentDAO.retrieveAll();
// If the dept object does not exist, simply return null
} catch (ObjectNotFoundException onfe) {
patents = null;
return patents;
}It may be useful for you to see the code of the Patent class:
package kms.domain;
/*** This domain object represents a dept.
public class Patent implements java.io.Serializable {
private int codeGgm;
private String name = "";
private String description = "";
private int creator;
private String creationDate = "";
private int used;
* This is the full constructor.
public Patent(int codeGgm, String name, String desc, int creator, String creationDate, int used) {
this.codeGgm = codeGgm;
this.name = name;
this.description = desc;
this.creator = creator;
this.creationDate = creationDate;
this.used = used;
public Patent() { }
public int getCodeGgm() {
return codeGgm;
public void setCodeGgm(int codeGgm) {
this.codeGgm = codeGgm;
public String getName() {
return name;
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
public String getDesc() {
return description;
public void setDesc(String desc) {
this.description = desc;
public int getCreator() {
return creator;
public void setCreator(int creator) {
this.creator = creator;
public String getCreationDate() {
return creationDate;
public void setCreationDate(String creationDate) {
this.creationDate = creationDate;
public int getUsed() {
return used;
public void setUsed(int used){
this.used = used;
}And here is the Database table which stores the Patents:
DESC PATENT:
CODE_GGM NUMBER(3)
NAME VARCHAR2(15)
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(250)
CREATOR NUMBER(10)
CREATION_DATE DATE
USED NUMBER(1)
So, we then travel into the code of the PatentDAO to see how the DAO object executes the DB query to get all of the Data we need for the select list:
package kms.domain;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import kms.util.*;
* This Data Access Object performs database operations on Patent objects.
class PatentDAO {
* This constructor creates a Patent DAO object.
* Keep this package-private, so no other classes have access
PatentDAO() {
* This method returns a Map of all the Dept names
* The key is the Dept id
Map retrieveAll()
throws ObjectNotFoundException {
Connection connection = null;
ResultSet results = null;
// Create the query statement
PreparedStatement query_stmt = null;
try {
// Get a database connection
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/keymanOracle");
connection = ds.getConnection();
// Create SQL SELECT statement
query_stmt = connection.prepareStatement(RETRIEVE_ALL_NAMES);
results = query_stmt.executeQuery();
int num_of_rows = 0;
Map patents = new TreeMap();
// Iterator over the query results
while ( results.next() ) {
patents.put(new Integer(results.getInt("code_ggm")), results.getString("name"));
if ( patents != null ) {
return patents;
} else {
throw new ObjectNotFoundException("patent");
// Handle any SQL errors
} catch (SQLException se) {
se.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException("A database error occured. " + se.getMessage());
} catch (NamingException se) {
throw new RuntimeException("A JNDI error occured. " + se.getMessage());
// Clean up JDBC resources
} finally {
if ( results != null ) {
try { results.close(); }
catch (SQLException se) { se.printStackTrace(System.err); }
if ( query_stmt != null ) {
try { query_stmt.close(); }
catch (SQLException se) { se.printStackTrace(System.err); }
if ( connection != null ) {
try { connection.close(); }
catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); }
private static final String RETRIEVE_ALL_NAMES
= "SELECT code_ggm, name FROM patent ";
}Now when you wish to use the 'combo box' (also called select lists), you insert this code into your jsp:
<TR>
<%@ include file="../incl/patent.jsp" %>
</TR>
depending on how your files on your server are organized, the "../incl/patent.jsp"
tells the container to look up one directory from where the main jsp is to find the 'patent.jsp' file in the 'incl' directory.

This produces a related select list with 4 related lists by outputting JavaScript to the page being served. It works the same way as the first example that I describe but I don't understand the looping...maybe someone could explain how to go from the single select list to a double and/or triple level drill down? -
Problem with editable combo box and creating dynamic table values using js
Hai
I have used jquery.jec.js to make my dropdown list as editable... I need to create dynamic table values on the onChange event of dropdown using javascript.
Now am facing the problem in it...
I am getting duplicate rows in the table... think(assumption) this jquery.jec.js is calling the dropdown again creating duplicate values...
Please help me out.... Any help is appreciable... Thanks in advanceThanks elOpalo, for your valuable response....
I have found the correct way of doing.
Before i had my code like this,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.jec.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('#list').jec();
function giveAlert(){
alert('hello');
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
Combo Box:
<select id="list" name="list" onChange="giveAlert();">
<option value="1">one</option>
<option value="2">two</option>
</select>
</form>
</body>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>test</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-latest.js"></script>

$('select.combo').jec();
$('select.combo')
.change(function() {
alert($(this).val());
}).change();

<table>
<tr>
<td>Combo Box:</td>
<td><select class="combo"><option value="b">banana</option><option value="a">apple</option></select></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Response to mouse click by combo box list and underlying clickable label
Hello,
we developed a label responding to a mouse click by opening and thereby displaying an associated help text. The label extends a project specific hierarchy of labels and thus implements MouseListener, of course. Now we encountered a strange problem: It occurs when a combo box is placed above such a label in a panel. By clicking the combo box a selective list drops down and covers the label. As soon as a mouse click is performed on a list item directly covering (i.e., right in front of) the clickable label not only this item is selected but the help screen associated with the underlying label is displayed, too. So the mouse click is processed twice: as proposed by the combo box and unwantedly by the label. This behaviour could not be reproduced on other components being placed below a combobox. So the label itself seems to be the cause but we cannot imagine what could exactly be the reason for this double reaction. Perhaps anyone heard of something like that?
We are currently working with IBM Visual Age for Java 2.0 (Java version 1.1.8 with the according Swing version). The clickable label reflectively calls methods of a model to determine whether help is available and if so later on to open this help text.
Any help is appreciated!
DaniloThank you for your response. I tried both to check the focus and to consume the event. But I had to learn that labels are not able to catch the focus. I also was not able to consume an appropriate event of the combobox. So I finally solved the problem by extending JButton and implementing ActionListener. Thus my labels are actually buttons but I changed their appearance and behaviour so one cannot distinguish them from labels.

How to populate a list box linked to selection in combo box?
Hi All,
I am a beginner in Xcelsius. I am having problem on how to populate a list box based on the selection on my combo box.
I have a combo box and a list box. The combo box value consist of Countries. Values are:
Singapore
Indonesia
Thailand
When I select, for i.e. Indonesia, I want to populate the list box with all the Postal Code of Indonesia. When I select Thailand, i want to do the same.
Can anyone shed some lights on how to achieve this?
My spreadsheet data is as follow
Country Postal Code
Singapore 680123
Singapore 680124
Singapore 680125
Indonesia 155123
Indonesia 155124
Indonesia 155125
Indonesia 155126
Thailand 333123
Many Thanks,
HariantoHi,
I am detailing the complete steps below:
In the combobox select the entire range of Country while seeing the records from the Combobox, Xcelsius will automatically show the unique values in the selection.
After that in the "Data Insertion" section for Combobox select the "Insertion Type" as "Filtered Rows" (please click on the question mark beside this option and it will show how the selection works).
In the source select the postal code, in the destination select the range which will be used as a data source for the list box.
This will resolve the concern. Please remember to select the question mark beside the "Insertion Type" option, it explains the working in specific details.
Best of luck.

Spaces always sends to the same Desktop, drop-lists and combo boxes broken
I have a new behavior that has just started. When I click on the Spaces icon on my dock - it has several weird behaviors. First, no matter what I click on - it will only send me to the upper right desktop. Second, when I move the mouse while using spaces - the animation flickers very strangely. Third, the animation when Spaces opens and closes is VERY VERY slow and it takes several seconds between clicking the Spaces icon in the dock to when the animation is complete and you can select a desktop.
Possibly related (because it started at the same time) all of the auto-complete menus (i.e. - those menus that help you type faster when you enter text into HTML forms etc.) are now un-usable. They flicker in and out so quickly that I cannot click on them. Ditto for any sort of combo-box or drop list control in any application.
Has anyone else started experiencing this problem?

A. System wide freak-outs can also be caused by bad or duplicate fonts installed or important fonts missing. Open Font Book and see if any fonts have a dot next to them. If you move or change fonts that are necessary for apps you get many problems.Here is a list of necessary fonts. The system fonts will not allow you to move them so it probably is not one of them. You can also try cleaning the system and font caches using Onyx.
B. Incomplete upgrades can leave your system in a mess. It would be easier to archive and install then to try and figure out what pieces you are missing.
C. I would also suspect any third party utilities you have installed, especially in the System Preferences or that activate on start up.
System Prefs:
• Out of date utilities for your third party mouse. Try updating the utility.
• Haxies for the system- try turning them off.
D. Antivirus programs often cause more harm then good. Do you have any installed? On Windows machine I have used when your subscription expires the software cripples your system. The solution is to completely remove it or renew your subscription.
E. If you are using a wireless mouse check the batteries.

VBA Userforms – Getting errors when item from combo box is not selected
Hi there
Thank you in advance for taking the time to check this out.
Objective:
I have 2 combo boxes, one is dependent on what has been selected in the first combo box (dynamic named range), they work fine except for an irritating error when the user accidentally clicks in the empty
Cmbox_IncCategory and it won’t allow the user to go back to the
cmbx_Category_Type box if the user forgot he had to make a selection from that first before selecting the
Cmbox_IncCategory.
The error that pops up is “Invalid property value”.
I tried having text in there to say “please select from Cmbox_IncCategory first, but that didn’t fix it.
I tried to ‘If error resume next’ but that didn’t like it either. Now I am stumped.
Main combo box= cmbx_Category_Type
2nd combo box (displaying a list dependent on what was selected in Main combo box)= Cmbox_IncCategory
I know there must be a way to fix it so that if a user clicks on the combo box, but doesn’t make a selection it won’t lock up the form.
Yes, it is a mandatory field, and I was considering using a message box to advise the user that this must be completed, but I am not sure how to do it (and avoid the errors
Here’s the current code I have for the combo boxes.
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory = "" 'Clears the contents of the 2nd combobox when another category is chosen
On Error Resume Next
'I can't seem to have the Incident Category combobox to be empty when the form is open _
I have tried Cmbox_IncCategory.Value = "", but I get an error. I then tried Cmbox_IncCategory.text = "" _
but also get the error. I don't know how else to get it to work .. I tried both codes in the _
form_initialize, but get an error ... I'm stumped !
Select Case Me.cmbx_Category_Type
Case "Crime"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_CRIME"
Case "Property Damage - Minor - NS"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_PROPRTY_NS"
Case "Property Damage - Significant - S"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_Proprty_S"
Case "Safety"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_SAFETY"
Case "Security Breach"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_BREACH_S"
Case "Support"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_SUPPORT"
Case "Vehicle"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_VEHICLE_S"
End Select
End Sub
I’d be really grateful if someone could help me out, or perhaps direct me to where I might find some coding that will achieve the result I am seeking.

Hope you have a terrific day, theShyButterflyHi Peter,
Thank you for your quick response :) Brave man! :)
Both combo boxes are blank to start with (because nothing has been selected). If I click on the first combo box (cmbx_Category_Type) which lists the main events/category types, but I don't select any thing, and I click in the secondary box
(Cmbox_IncCategory) and then click on any other control, I get an “Invalid property value” error. When I click OK on the error (a few times) and I return to the code window, it gives no indication where/what is breaking
the code/causing the error. I have no choice but to exit the form by stopping in the code window.
If I click on the first textbox, (cmbx_Category_Type), and then do the right thing and make a selection, then I have no problems with the secondary textbox (Cmbox_IncCategory).
As I am not that up on VBA I am trying to follow your instructions... I have changed the code as follows, removed and replaced the rowsource name, but I encounter the very same problem.
When I changed my code from Me.Cmbox_IncCategory="" to yours myCombo.ListIndex = -1 (changing the combo box name to reflect my combo box name) and adding the second line of code ...
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.ListIndex = 0 I still got the same behaviour and error.
I even tried moving each row of the named rows down one row (so that there would be a 'blank' row which could be selected to get out of trouble, but it wasn't very successful either.
Have you opened my form to see what happens, I included the link so whoever was looking at my problem (and yes, I have many I know), could see for themselves what it is doing/not doing.
The code now reads as below (is this what you meant?) - the results were as I mentioned above.
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.ListIndex = -1 'Clears the contents of the 2nd combobox when another category is chosen
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.ListIndex = 0
' On Error Resume Next
'I can't seem to have the Incident Category combobox to be empty when the form is open _
I have tried Cmbox_IncCategory.Value = "", but I get an error. I then tried Cmbox_IncCategory.text = "" _
but also get the error. I don't know how else to get it to work .. I tried both codes in the _
form_initialize, but get an error ... I'm stumped !
Select Case Me.cmbx_Category_Type
Case "Crime"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_CRIME"
Case "Property Damage - Minor - NS"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_PROPRTY_NS"
Case "Property Damage - Significant - S"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_Proprty_S"
Case "Safety"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_SAFETY"
Case "Security Breach"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_BREACH_S"
Case "Support"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_SUPPORT"
Case "Vehicle"
Me.Cmbox_IncCategory.RowSource = "Inc_Cat_VEHICLE_S"
End Select
End Sub
I appreciate your patience :) I am growing in knowledge, but its a slow process. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help clarify for you :)

Diff bet poplist & combo box ?
Hello Friends...
now i m learning forms .. can anyone tell me exact diff bet poplist & combo box..where we hv to exact use of poplist & combo box??
from help topics i get this much info only
Description
Specifies the display style for the list item, either poplist, combo box, or Tlist. The poplist and combo box styles take up less space than a Tlist, but end users must open the poplist or combo box to see list elements. A Tlist remains "open," and end users can see more than one value at a time if the list is large enough to display multiple values.Hi,
when we add dynamically in list item..so we need to ADD_LIST_ELEMENT to add elements in list..There are different ways of populating the list item. Using ADD_LIST_ELEMENT is one of the method. However, the preferred method is to create a record group and populate the list using the record group using populate_group and populate_list (online help would certainly have some examples for this).
which trigger we write this ??Depends on the requirement. If you want the list to be populated when the form is loaded, you would be using when-new-form-instance trigger. However, if you want to filter the list based on some condition, you would write it in the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger of the filter field / when-button-pressed trigger of the button which filters.
time how much values we can add ??I don't understand this. Is your question is "at a time how many values can be added"? then, there is no limit as such. Or, if your question is, "how much time it takes to add a value", it all depends on many factors like, network etc.
On the related note, it is not a good idea to use a list if you have many values (say more than 100 or so). In that case, you might want to use List of Values instead of Combobox/PopList.
