Dropdown list in Subform

Hi There,
I am facing problem in Dropdown lists in Subforms.
I want the region dropdown list values according to country (only for DE) dropdown list value. Both Dropdown lists are in a Subform.
For that, I have used this in EXIT event of Country Dropdown list:
if (this.rawValue == "DE Deutschland")
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Schleswig-Holstein","1");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hamburg","2");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Niedersachsen","3);
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bremen","4");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Nordrhein-Westfalen","5");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hessen","6");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Rheinland-Pfalz","7");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Baden-Württemberg","8");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bayern","9");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Saarland","10");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Berlin","11");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Brandenburg","12");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Mecklenburg-Vorpomme","13");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen","14");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen-Anhalt","15");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Thüringen","16");
else
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
It does only change first region dropdownlist value, not others because both dropdown lists are in a Subform.
Other problem is that it works only when All Country Dropdown lists are "DE". Means, first region dropdown list depends upon not only first country dropdown but also other dropdown.
My requirement is, If first country Dropdown is "DE", only first Region Dropdown list should be fill, not others. And so on.
Please provide solution that How can I change all dropdown lists of a Subform dynamically?
Waiting for reply.
Thank you
Chandler Bing

Hi Philip,
You are assigning values only the first row.
data.Daten.Daten.Daten.Data.DropDown.rawValue = data.Daten.Aktion.DropDown.rawValue
You have to use the assignment in loop.
1. check number of rows in the table
2. Assign values in loop
// Use the internal table which you binded to dropdown for getting total rows.
var rows = xfa.resolveNodes("****DropDownSrc.DATA[*]").length;
for ( var i =0; i < norows; i++)
data.Daten.Daten.Daten.Data[i].DropDown.rawValue = data.Daten.Aktion.DropDown.rawValue
Hope i got you correctly

Dropdown list to change image field linked image?

Hello,
I am quite new in Designer but I have to complete a job and I don't find the solution.
I try to update on a form an image field using the value of a dropdown box and a "if" script.
I use linked images (not embedded ones) and try using a script calling the image Field. value. image. href property.
The property is well updated as export to xml displays well the new href value but the image is not displayed as something was missing to activate it.
form1.#subform[0].ImageField1::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
if (UN_DropDownList == "3373") then ImageField1.value.image.href = ".\Images\UN3373.png"
endif
Rather simple (don't laugh at it) but it doesn't work.
I found solutions for embedded images via visible/hidden by dropdown list (not yet tested) as these ones. I give them below for reference (if some other users are interested)
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/683215
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2187604
http://acrobat.timhuff.net/?p=5
But not for linked images (path or URL). By the way, I found same problem descriptions in other forums but without any proposed solution.
As I should have quite a lot of images with frequent updates, it seems to me a better solutions...
Thanks in advance for you help.
Kind regards
Philippe

Hi Philippe,
Have a look at this blog, http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/11/linked_vs_embedded_template_im.html, it turns out that both linked and embedded images are stored in the PDF but just in different ways. So updating the href at run time will have no effect.
If you are not in a possition to store all the images in the PDF at design time then you might have to look at setting up a webservice to access them on a server.
Good luck

Populating several textgroups based on two dropdown lists troubles

Hi All,
I have a dropdown list (case1) which contents "engine1", "engine2" and "engine3" and a second dropdown list (Component).
If i select in "case1" = "engine1" then in "component" should be displayed "Motor" and "burner".
it works this way...that's everything fine.
----- form1.#subform[0].#subform[1].Case1::enter: - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------
var
arrayItems = eval(Case_1.value);
for
(var i=0; i < arrayItems.length; i++) {this.addItem(arrayItems[i]);
----- form1.#subform[0].#subform[1].Case1::change: - (JavaScript, client) --------------------------
if
(xfa.event.newText=="Engine1" || "Engine2" || "Engine3" );
var
arrayItems = eval(Comp_0.value);
for
(var i=0; i<arrayItems.length; i++) {Component.addItem(arrayItems[i]);
----- form1.#subform[0].#subform[1].Component::enter: - (JavaScript, client) -----------------------if (xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Case1").rawValue == "Engine1"){
xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Component").clearItems();
var arrayItems = eval(Comp_0.value);
for (var i=0; i < arrayItems.length; i++){
this.addItem(arrayItems[i]);
if (xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Case1").rawValue == "Engine2"){
xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Component").clearItems();
var arrayItems = eval(Comp_0.value);
for (var i=0; i < arrayItems.length; i++){
this.addItem(arrayItems[i]);
if (xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Case1").rawValue == "Engine3"){
xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Component").clearItems();
var arrayItems = eval(Comp_0.value);
for (var i=0; i < arrayItems.length; i++){
this.addItem(arrayItems[i]);
then if i select "motor" then should be visible a group "engine1Motor", "engine2Motor", "engine3motor".
if i decide to select "burner" after "motor" the group which belongs to Motor should stay visible and a new group should which belongs to burner "engine1burner1", "engine1burner2", "engine1burner3" should be visible.
and if case2 is filled then a new goup "1.ifcase2", "2.ifcase2", "3.ifcase2" should be visible.
I tried it this way but it doesnt work :-(
----- form1.#subform[0].#subform[1].Component::change: - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------
if (xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform[0].Case1.rawValue") == "Engine1"){
xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Component.rawValue")
== "engine1Motor";
Motor.presence
= "visible";}
else{
Motor.presence= "hidden"}
who can help me to solve this problem??
Thank u!!

Hi,
The script in itself looks okay, but there are a few things to check:
That the language is JavaScript.
That the values your are testing against EITHER match the Item values (in the Object > Field palette) OR the bound values (if specified in the Object > Binding palette).
I am presuming that this script is in the calculate event of the dropdown.
The relative references between the objects is not full enough. See: http://assure.ly/kUP02y.
I think that you could achieve this in an easier way!!!
Select each of the dropdowns. In the Object > Field palette you will have the items listed. Okay, nothing to do here.
Now go to the Object > Binding palette and tick specify values. Then for Category 1 specify PN1, Category 2 specify PN2, etc. Similarly for the product dropdowns: Product A specify A, Product B specify B, etc.
Then in the caculate event of the textfield you would use FormCalc to concat the dropdowns:
$ = Concat(Dropdown1, Dropdown2)
I appreciate that the product dropdown is populated based on the users selection in the Category, but you can script the bound value.
See examples here: http://assure.ly/fYCuQ2, and especially this one: http://assure.ly/jcTahK.
Also if you want searchable dropdowns: http://assure.ly/mP5Lud.

Unable to add items to dropdown list using javascript

Hi,
I'm trying to add additional items to a dropdown list at runtime using javascript.
I'm doing this by invoking the addItem method on the dropdown list field during its initialize event.
However when I run the generated pdf in Acrobat Pro, I get the following error in the console -
GeneralError: Operation failed.
XFAObject.addItem:3:XFA:form1[0]:#subform[0]:field0[0]:initialize
Method: 'addItem' cannot be called because doing so would violate this document's permissions settings.
The pdf form has no signatures or any other stuff in it.
What additional permissions do I need to add and how ?
You can view the pdf here -
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8022836/xfa3_test.pdf
Thanks,
Joel

Is there a reason to use the code you did? It looks like the problem is with the variable's permissions when going through the template.
This code works just fine in that same event:
this.addItem("new item");
As does:
var f = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform1[0].field0");
f.additem("new item");

Lost values in DropDown List

Hello Experts!
I created a dynamic interactive form with a dynamic table. This table has two buttons. One to add a new row and one to delete
the selected row. The row has field called EAN. This field is formatted as dropdown list. I created i the interface of the form a table and bind the table to this dropdown list field. With my print program i fill the table, generate my form and download it on my pc.
Now my problem. After download, i open my form and the first row of my table has the first value as content in the field.
Every thing is right. But if a create a new row, the field is empty. This is also correct. But if i will select a new value from my dropdown list, one value is missing and i got two new blank values in my dropdown list. This runs so on if i create a new row.
I don´t understand why i lost my values in the dropdown list, when i create a new row.
I hope anybody of you knows the solution for that.
For your information, here is my coding to add the new row:
data.#subform[0].FORM.DATA.DATA_ITEMS.I_DATA.STRUC.Teilformular1.Schaltfläche1::click - (JavaScript, client)
// xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
var anInstanceManager = this.parent.parent.instanceManager;
var newInstance = anInstanceManager.addInstance(1);
var aToIndex = this.parent.parent.index + 1;
var aFromIndex = newInstance.index;
anInstanceManager.moveInstance(aFromIndex, aToIndex);}

Hi Sanoosh!
Thanks for your advice!
I already bound the field for the dropdown list to a different node than the datatable.
So that is also a fact that i don´t understand. When i have a different data node, why
is it possible to fill or overwrite data from a different data node!

Dropdown List in Adobe Interactive Form Using Webdynpro ABAP

Hi Pals,
In my scenarion I need to list the Rating Code in the Dropdown list box of the Interactive Form.
Form Created by using SFP transaction
Not XML Schema interface
Passing the values to the Form by using the default function module that which created automatically while creating the Form
Am binding the Field and also binding for the list Item. Even though the values are not listing.
$record.sap-vhlist.<Field name>\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*]
I have followed the above format , but no use ...
Field Name : rating_code
$record.sap-vhlist.RATING_CODE\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*]
Field Name : value
$record.sap-vhlist.VALUE\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*]
but it is not working for me, will appreciate if some one really help me to fix this.!!!!
Thanks & Regards
Andy.

For the form buttons to work on-line in your WebDynpro app, you need to change the PDF form to be Dynamic:
     if(firstTime){
          // We need to set the PDF to be Dynamic, for the form JavaScript code to work
          IWDPDFDocumentInteractiveFormContext pdfContext =
          WDPDFDocumentFactory
          .getDocumentHandler(wdThis.wdGetAPI(), "InteractiveForm")
          .getDocumentContext();
          pdfContext.setDynamic(true);
In this code segment, "InteractiveForm" is the UI id.
I was able to get that far, but I although I add subforms dynamically via javascript, the mapped WebDynpro context node doesn't pick up any new elements.
ie: if I start with two WD context elements (0..n) cardinality, then add a third via the form JavaScipt button, I see changes only in the two context elements when I submit. A third context element isn't created or populated.

How to filter XML Datasource bound to Dropdown list?

Dear All,
I quiet new to LiveCycle designer ES from past couple of weeks I am working on this.
Right Now I have issue with filering XML Datasource bound with dropdown list.
I have XML file which has the data to the States and City. I have bound one of my dropdown list to State. My requirement is once I select the 'State' the corresponding City Names has to be listed in the second dropdown list.
I searched in the net and got couple of samples on that. But I failed to make my form work as requirement. Even though I have generated the XML file as given structure in the examples.
Please check the attached xml file which I have created.
I have struckup right now. So, help me this.
Very much thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sree Harshavardhana.

Dear BR,
Thanks for the quick reply and most useful example. I'll try to apply the same in to my form and look in to it.
But, I would like to know is what was the corrections you have made in the javascript. I am not wrong the code which you have written in the example pdf the same I had written, but it did not work for me! Please check the code below which I had written.
StatesAndCities.#subform[0].StateName::change - (JavaScript, client)
var stateDataNode = xfa.resolveNode("StatesAndCities.States.(StateID.value == " + this.boundItem(xfa.event.change) + ")");
CityName.clearItems();
for (var i=0; i<stateDataNode.City.all.length; i++)
xfa.host.messageBox(stateDataNode.Cities.all.item(i).Code.value);
CityName.addItem(staffDataNode.City.all.item(i).Code.value);
I'll look forward by highlighting my mistakes, so that I can go by my own.

SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

Hello everyone,
We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
dropdown gets populated.
Location Parameter Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
Customer Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.

How to create a dropdown list to list the values from two different tables?

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
1. I have to create a dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of a table.
2. Another dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of another table.
3. A text box should help me to add the selected values.
How to get this done in a PDF? Please help.

Is this a LC form? Because Acrobat forms have no concept of tables, just
individual fields...

Get unique values from Parent List in Dropdown List SPServices

I have a dropdown list created using the SPServices ($().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns). It works as it should, I just need to add a requirement. I need to be able to filter the Parent Lookup list to show only unique values.
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipList: "ROInsComp",
relationshipListParentColumn: "AIP-RY",
relationshipListChildColumn: "NameAndCode",
parentColumn: "AIP-RY",
childColumn: "NameAndCode",
debug: true});
The issue is that in AIP-RY I have stored Years and each year could be repeated several times
I followed some of the recommendations from this blog:
GetListItems Unique Values
I this is what I tried:
$.ajax({
url: weburl+'https://my-site/_layouts/filter.aspx?ListId='+escape('{544C8B6A-C9B3-4BA‌D-B9CF-B032E5FD07DB}')+'&FieldInternalName='+"AIP-RY" + '&ViewId='+escape('{4B433420-156F-4F4F-9E3C-551DC43B593C}')+'&FilterOnly=1&Filte‌r=1',
success: function(data) {
alert('It worked!');}
No luck so far! Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure this would work: SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
only works (as far as I know) for elements from the same list.

Calculating dynamic values from dropdown lists

Hi all, here's the noob question of the day
I'm creating an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and I'm totally stuck at tax calculations:
for each product you're able to choose between two tax percentages from a dropdown list and, at the end of the form, I want to show a total amount of each tax.
product
qty
unit price
vat
net price
red shoes pack
2
20$
4%
40$
black shoes pack
1
25$
4%
25$
white umbrella
1
10$
7%
10$
total net price
75$
+ TAX 4%
2.60$
+ TAX 7%
0.70$
Total
78.30$
How can I set the + TAX 4% and + TAX 7% fields to grab their respective product rows?
Sorry for my bad english.. I hope you get the question!

You woudl have to look at each row inside of a for loop and then determine if that row had 4% or 7% tax. Then you coudl keep a running total of the tax for you calcultions such that when the for loop ended you would have the 4 and 7% totals calculated.
Make sense?

I want to access the options in the context menu when clicking on a dropdown list in the bookmarks toolbar, but the context menu disappears when I try to click on one of the options. How can I keep the menu from disappearing?

I have several dropdown lists in my bookmarks toolbar and would like to access the properties for some of the the items. This used to work fine. However, now, when I go to the list and place the cursor on a particular item, the context menu that is usually available on a right click disappears when I try to access one of the options. This is the menu that begins with Open. What can I do to regain this functionality? I really need the information in the Properties section. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

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?
