Glitch with combo boxes

Hi all,
In flash I have about 5 frames, each which have 7 combo boxes
on them. The user selects the answers for each combo box and then
clicks 'check' if they are correct they move on to the next frame.
The only frame that is different is frame 3 which has combo boxes 4
and 5 missing because they do not apply for that particular
question.
Once the user moves on past frame 3, some of the combo boxes
show up blank (they are there but the default Index 0 "select" does
not show up. If you click on the combo box it opens and you can
choose one of the 5 choices in it, but once you select one it won't
show up either.
Does anyone know the cause of this problem or a solution?
P.S. The combo boxes all have the same instance name
throughout the whole file of 'cbo1' through 'cbo7' and are reset to
index 0 at the beginning of each new frame.

You do this by combining JSPs with a central servlet. I don't know how to do it with just one JSP on its own.
The JSP does a <form> POST to the servlet. The servlet fetches the combo box values into a List, puts it into request scope, and forwards the response back to the JSP. The JSP gets the List out of request scope and populates the drop-down. You do the same thing when there's a selection in the drop-down: onChange does a POST back to the servlet, which gets the selected value as a parameter, takes the appropriate action, and forwards the response with new data in request scope back to the JSP.
The trick is to have the data in request scope so the JSP can get it. I think you need a servlet to do that.

Problem with combo box in a Matrix column

hi every one, i have a user form with a matrix(uid = 37) with some columns and one column is combo box. in that combo box i have to get values from OSTC table (Code)...i have written this code ..i dont know how to access the combo box so that i can get values to combo box when i execute the prg....
oitem = oForm.Items.Item("37") 37 is uid of omatrix2

Problem with combo boxes and the reset button in certain situations

Hi Everyone,
i have a problem to make the reset-button function properly in an what-if analysis dashboard.
The dashboard uses two combo boxes that are not visible at the same time. In my application the second combo box only appears when a dedicated menu (label based menu button) has been activated.
So i have combo box 1 when menu A is active an dand combo box 2 when menu 2 is active.
After starting the dashboard initial values are fine. If you then directly change to menu 2 (seeing combo box 2 with
the correct default value) and press the reset button, the dashboard returns to the initial view, showing
the menu 1 with the correct default value. If you now switch back to menu 2, you will see, that the combo box 2
is empty (i.e. nothing selected).
I also tracked the destination cells for the combo box value results as well as the source cells for the "selected item" and the
destination cells for the "Insert Selected Item". All this values seem to be correct. Therefore i assume that
this is an issue of event handling. Maybe the combo box 2 does not refresh its selected value because it is already
invisible when the values are restored.
This case can easily be simulated by placing two combo boxes and a push button (that changes the visibility of
the combo boxes) and the reset button on the canvas.
Maybe someone can help. I am able to provide a test xlf, if neccessary.
Thanks,
Oliver
P.S. I am using Xcelsius SP4 (Version 5.4.0.0)

Hello Debjit_Singha_86,
thank you for your support. At the moment i have the following setting:
label based menu
- General: Insertion Type "value" from a list of ID's for the menu-items to a dedicated cell (current menu ID, say tab1!$A$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) fixted to item 1
hidden combo box
- General: Insertion Type "position" to a dedicated cell with the current choice (say tab1!$B$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) to the same cell (tab1!$B$1)
Can you give me a hint on how to connect the two components according to your solution, so that the label based menu sets the default for the hidden combox box only in case, that the reset button is pressed?
Thanks,
Oliver

Problem with Combo Box in a Dialog Box

I have a dialog box that includes a combo box.
For some reason the combo box shows up under the first text box. In other words, the combo box is not separate from the first field. It has the following:
ComboBox with Sequence showing, then Enter Identifyer
Textbox URL
Textbox Enter Resource 1
Textbox Enter Resource 2
Textbox Enter Resource 3
Textbox Enter Resource 4
Textbox Enter Resource 5

Seems the problem is in your DialogLayout2 class which must be in package dl. I tried a grid layout and got something that looks like what you described. I laid out pp with a gridbag layout.

Filtering my DataGridView with Combo Boxes

Hello everyone! I have recently started working with windows form application and I must say it is really
awsome! I have came up with a project but I came across a little problem and I hope some of you might help me!
I have established a local database and managed to connect it to a DataGridView, awsome I can see my database
in my windows form! I have also made 7 combo boxes, each with its strings in it, then i added a button that should filter the data grid view according to the strings the user selected in the combo boxes. My question is, how do i do that? I mean how do i make
the button fillter my DataGridView according to the strings selected in my combo boxes?
Hope for a quick answer, sorry for my english and lack of knowledge in windows form!

Maybe you could go this way:
Populate the combobox manually, first adding "All", then adding the items from industryGroupsDataSet.Tables[0].
Add a BindingSource between companiesDataSet.Tables[0] and dataGridView1.DataSource.
In the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combobox, alter the Filter property of the BindingSource. If the selected index is zero ("All"), set the Filter to null, otherwise set the filter to String.Format("groupID = '{0}'", cmbBxGroupFilter.SelectedValue).
You may also have a look at these too:

data table to populate combo box on a datagridview based on the user selection
How to search the datagridview
based on values selected in combo box, just like a search based on combo box values

Having trouble with combo box.

What im trying to do is put a string array into this combo box called jComboBoxParts how do i make it show? Right now when i load it, all i see is "Item1..."Item2...etc". Here is my code.
String[] partsString = { "oil can", "windshield", "tires", "v6 Cylinder head", "fuse"};
JComboBox[] jComboBoxParts = new JComboBox[partsString.length];
for(int i=0; i < partsString.length; i++)
jComboBoxParts[i] = new *JComboBox(*partsString);
with the bolded work i get an error. Please help.

That's ugly in so many ways...
This:
JComboBox[] jComboBoxParts = new JComboBox[partsString.length];does not do what you think it does. Instead, it creates an array of JComboBoxes initialized to the length of elements in your string array. So instead of a single JComboBox capable of holding 5 elements (which is what you were trying to do), you created 5 JComboBoxes capable of holding n elements.
What you want to do is something like this:
import javax.swing.*;
class Demo extends JFrame {
private JComboBox box;
public Demo() {
    initComponents();
private void initComponents() {
    String[] items = { "oil can", "windshield", "tires", "v6 cylinder head", "fuse" };
    box = new JComboBox(items);
    this.getContentPane().add(box);
    this.pack();
    this.setSize(200, 60);
    this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    this.setTitle("Combox Box Demo");
public static void main(String[] argv) {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        new Demo().setVisible(true);
}Another alternative, if you don't have the array of strings available when you instantiate your JComboBox, you could do something like this:
String items = { "oil can", "brakes", "windshield", "tail light", "something else", "blah", "more blah" };
for( String item : items )
myJComboBox.addItem(item);

Error with Combo Box, Executing CBTA Script

Dear Experts.
I am Using CBTA in solman 7.1 SP 12 to automate the testing with SAP ERP (SAP GUI) and CRM(CRM UI). We are creating the test script without problem, but at time to execute, it suddenly stop.
We were checking and found that always is failing with a Combo Box field.
do you know if exist any note to correct this behavior?
In CRM UI, the script recording create the following component to fill the combo box
But in the execution CBTA does not fill the field, just try focus in the field, show the values but does not select any.
At the end show the following error
IN SAP ERP
In ERP, the script recording create the following component to fill the combo box
But in the execution CBTA does not fill the field, just try focusing in the field show the values but does not select any.
Then the script execution fail and show a error, saying the field is read only.
Br.
Juan

Hi every One.
Finally i got the solution, the error was that i had set up in SAP GUI the option to view the key in the drop down list and the same happened in CRM UI i had set up the same option.
After shot down this option we record the escenario again, then we execute it and run without problem.
Best regards

Trouble with combo box

I am using a combo box with the code below, but each time I
arrive on this
screen that displays cbTREATMENT, the combo box first draws
itself with the
default style, then applies my style, which looks a bit ugly
onscreen.
Anything I can do to rectify this?
Thanks.
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "fontSize", "13" );
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "color", "0x000000" );
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "fontWeight", "bold" );
cbTREATMENT.setStyle( "fontFamily", "arial" );
cbTREATMENT.dropdown.rowHeight = 18;
cbTREATMENT.dataProvider=["","name1","name2","name3];
cbTREATMENT.text=vTREATMENT;

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure what you mean, can you
explain any
further?

Help with Combo Box Component

I am creating an application with comboboxes and using action
script to load them. I can figure out how to change text color of
the choices in the combo box, but can anyone tell if it is possible
to make the text choices appear as different colors. For instance
if I wanted all of the choices to be black text, but for the third
choice down to appear red.
Thanks for the help.

You can set the backgroubd color if that helps.
To set the second item to have a red background, attach this
to the combobox:
on(open){
dropdown.setPropertiesAt(1,{backgroundColor:0xFF0000})
}

Display issue with Combo Boxes and Logo

Hi All,
I am facing a couple of issues with my dashboard:
1. Combo boxes display - I have placed a series of combo boxes one below the other. During the preview, when I click on the first combo box, the values spread below. That is, the labels, and options of the next combo box are also visible. The options in the combo box are not seen clearly. I have tried many permutations and combinations with "Bring Forward +" and "Send Back -" but none of them seem to work. For example, keeping the first combo as bring forward and next one as send back etc. Can you please help me in this regard?
2. Logo - I have used image component and embedded a logo from my local system. Later I saved the xlf in the repository. When I import the xlf from the platform, it displays the logo fine. But however, this behavior is not constant. It sometimes doesn't show the image. Do I have to save the image also in the repository? or in a common shared folder? If I embed the logo does it not mean that the xlf hold the copy?
Any help in this regards is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Sandeep.

Hi:
For your question
1) Do you need your combox overlapped? I tried to overlap my comb box and preview it, seems works fine for me. it only chooses the first comb box. But I am suggesting that if you want to show/hide the different combox in the same position at run time, you can try to control the visibility by some other component.
2) The answer is NO, the image embedded in the image component will be saved to xlf file, there is no need to save it individually. Try to clean your cache files in your machine and do it again.
Hope it helps.

Strange behaviour with combo boxes.

Has anyone else noticed strange behaviour of combo boxes with applets?
What happens is that on selecting the combo drop down, the dialogue the combo is sitting on moves behind its parent window. You just end up seeing the combo list, and no dialogue. Select a combo item, and sometimes the dialogue reappears, and sometimes it is still hidden.
I've only seen this whilst running an applet in browsers. In Eclipse I don't see the behaviour.
The behaviour is also very intermittent.
I'm using Java Plug-in 1.6.0_10-rc2, Using JRE version 1.6.0_10-rc2 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, on Windows Vista, Google Chrome browser.
I'd raise it as a bug, it certainly seems quite serious, but I don't have a reliable test case.
I have a work around, on all my dialogues with combo's on them, I have setAlwaysOnTop(true). Not really the correct behaviour though.

PROBLEM WITH COMBO BOXES..

HI,
I AM HAVING TWO COMBO BOXES>>
COMBO1------ DEPT NAME
COMBO2------EMPLOYEE NAMES
I AM COLLECTING DATA OF COMBO1 FROM THE DATABASE.....DEPENDING UPON THE FIRST COMBO i.e DEPT NAME...USING THAT DEPT NAME I HAVE TO COLLECT EMPLOYEES NAMES DATA FROM THE DATABASE AND PLACED IN COMBO2 >>....
ANY PLS HELP ME......
I WANT FULL CODE FOR THAT......

You do this by combining JSPs with a central servlet. I don't know how to do it with just one JSP on its own.
The JSP does a <form> POST to the servlet. The servlet fetches the combo box values into a List, puts it into request scope, and forwards the response back to the JSP. The JSP gets the List out of request scope and populates the drop-down. You do the same thing when there's a selection in the drop-down: onChange does a POST back to the servlet, which gets the selected value as a parameter, takes the appropriate action, and forwards the response with new data in request scope back to the JSP.
The trick is to have the data in request scope so the JSP can get it. I think you need a servlet to do that.

Help with combo boxes

I am currently building a site with flash / dreamweaver and
am attempting to add two or three combo boxe that will display data
and pictures from a database. Any ideas or assistance would be much
appreciated...
Many thanks in advance

Sunil,
I'm attempting to use the data binding technique but I'm perhaps not understanding exactly where this should go. For now I'm fine with having a static array that just lives locally on the page. Each of my combo boxes are being populated using the
mx:Array --> mx:Object logic.
I need to fire off an event to a function that is able to determine which selection(s) from the combination of the two combo boxes were chooses. I'm accomplishing that by using selectedIndex property of the combo boxes id. I then have 'n' number of unique Array Collections that are basically a three dimensional array containing the numeric percentage that I need to display graphically. I need my function to be able to choose the appropriate Collection based on the combination of selected index(es) and then update my column chart accordingly.
My other confusion is how to do use my data binding at the chart level. So my page is really nothing more than two combo boxes and chart that I need to change dynamically as the selections in the combo boxes changes. Eventually I will use a webservice to connect to a .jsp page that is using DAO to retrieve the values from the database but right now I'm fine with fetching them locally just so I'll know I'm on the right track.
If it would help I can include the snippet of the code that I'm working on.
Thanks for your help

Help with Combo box

I am having problems with displaying items on a combo box.
The combo box will allow a user to select a fixed list of values for a database column.
I created the combo box and set the dataItemUsageMode property in the property inspector to "USE FOR UPDATE". The list is bound to the corresponding column of the query RowSetInfo.
In the code, I hard coded the items to be displayed using comboboxName.addItem(). When I run the form, the list of hard coded values shows up. However, when I select an item, the selected item is not displayed on the screen.
Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

I had a problem like this when I inserted a new row into the given Rowset.
Try setting initial value for the attribute that you are using for update.
eg. if you have this:
comboBoxControl1.setDataItemNameForUpdate("infobus:/oracle/sessionInfo1/rowSetInfo1/Status");
comboBoxControl1.addItem(new String("Silver"));
comboBoxControl1.addItem(new String("Gold"));
comboBoxControl1.addItem(new String("Platinum"));
set the attribute as follows:
StatusrowSetInfo1.getImmediateAccess().setValue(new String("Silver"));
or any other way you can set that attribute.
