How to get prefilled drop down list in Adobe form from WebDynpro context

Hi All,
We all know that we can have dropdown list in webdynpro which can be automatically populated by the context node collection.
How can we have the same functionality in Adobe form drop down list. I tried to bind the node attribute to drop down list in Adobe form but it shows me only first element. I am not able to see all the elements in the dropdown but if I am doing same thing for WebDynpro DropDown list I can see the complete List.
Anybody with Solution?

Hi Ricky
I have started a thread for this problem and got an answer for it already. Unfortunately I did not have the time to check it out yet; have a look over there:

I appreciate if you tell me whether it worked for you.

How to add values to drop down list in adobe forms

how to add values to drop down list in adobe forms

Hi,
If you are using WD Java following are steps of filling values in DD Box:
1 Create a simple type in the Dictionary.
2 Create an attribute "CountryNew" in the Context of type created by you.
3 Write following code in the init method of the form:
IWDAttributeInfo countryinfo =
wdContext.nodeEmployee().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("CountryNew");
ISimpleTypeModifiable Country = countryinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
Country.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
countryValueSet.put("IN", "INDIA");
countryValueSet.put("US "USA");
4 Add a Enumrated DD box in the form and bind it to the attribute "CountryNew"
Hope this helps

Drop down list in ADOBE Forms - WDP for ABAP...urgent

Hi Gurus,
Can you please explain me how to display values in the dropdown list of Adobe interactive form in WDP for ABAP. Also expalin me how to accept them in the program once the user selects the value from the list. The requirement is I have to call the RFC, get the data and display in the dropdown list at the time of initialization.

hi,
to populate the dropdown list you can do it...
1). manually or
2). by code(i work in java... there must be some ABAP equivalent...)
1). <b>manually</b> go to interactive form->edit
     go to Object tab->field tab ->
     you must see something like
     List Items :
     Text     + x
     click on the green + sign...
     it promps you to type. type in the value press enter... and so on...
2) <b>by Code...</b>
    //set up contents of a drop down list dynamically...
    IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeTravelData().getNodeInfo().
            getAttributeInfo().getAttribute("DestinationCountry");
    ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
            countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
    IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
            countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
    countryValueSet.put("1","Germany");
    countryValueSet.put("2","UK");
This will work....

Dynamic drop down list in Adobe forms

I have created a drop down list using enumerated drop down list from webdynpro native tab and binded in the object palette by giving $record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[]* in the list items dynamically.DESCR is the field in the internal table into which i fetched data from the database table .I have written this code in a BADI.I dont know whether my form's display type is activex or native? I am not getting any values in the drop down list.can anybody please tell me what might be missing and how should i know whether my form is ActiveX or Native?
My form is called from portal so i have used BADI to connect portal to form

Hi sarang,
I have done a dynamic drop down list in which DESCR field comes from database table and pops into the drop down dynamically. I was working for a PCR scenario so the adobe form was called from portal.I will tell u all the required steps.It might work for u as it is working for me:
1.In the form:
I used two elements from library first is a "ENUMERATED DROP DOWN LIST NO SELECT" from web-dynpro native tab and second is "ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE" from ISR controls tab.Place them one on other inthe form.
For drop down list the setting are:
     In object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS put :$record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].in ITEMS TEXT write text in ITEMS KEY write key.
     In binding,in default binding put $record.DESCR.DATA[*].FIELD.
For text element the settings are:
     In binding,default binding put Normal.
     when we select ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE it automatically comes with calculated read only int he value tab.so open script editor and place the below code:
$record.DESCR.DATA.FIELD (in calculate).
2.Now the code in BADI is as follows:
In BADI we have to write the code for drop down list in the METHOD "SCENARIO_SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES"
As i didnt change the standard BADI i added an enhancement spot in which i wrote a function module which fills ADDITIONAL_DATA. and the below code fills the ADDITIONAL_DATA .
DATA: t_t572b TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t572b WITH HEADER LINE,
        t_t554t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t554t WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM t572b INTO TABLE t_t572b WHERE sprsl EQ 'E'.
CLEAR ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
LOOP AT t_t572b.
    ADD 1 TO ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_KEY'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descd.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_LABEL'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descr.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    CLEAR t_t572b.
ENDLOOP.
For DESCR field the we have to declare DESCR_KEY and DESCR_LABEL in the place holders for key values and palce holders for default values in characteristics tab(where all the fields for the form are defined) of ur respective scenario.(where ur pcr scenario is defined)
Hope ur problem got resolved.
Please let me know if any doubts.
If ur form is not called from portal and u want a dynamic drop down list the difference is put a data drop down list and in object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS select the field into which u populated the data from the database table (this code shud be written in code Initialization in the respective interface) and in ITEMS TEXT put $ in ITEMS KEY put $.and in binding as we normally do bind it to the respective field in which the data is populated from database table.
It should work.

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,
Prakash Pandey

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.

How can I get a drop-down list selection also be selected in another field with the same list but a different name?

I have a street address and a billing address. A question is posed with a checkbox — "Is the billing address the same as the street address?" If Yes is checked, the street address automatically fills the billing fields. If No is checked, the user must fill in new information. In both the street address and billing addres, the State field is a drop-down list. How can I get the drop-down list selection in the street address State also be selected in drop-down list for the billing address State?

Has anyone done this?

How to display a drop down list

how to display a drop down list when the user clicked (right click) on a JPanel or a JFrame

how to display a drop down list when the user clicked
(right click) on a JPanel or a JFrameI've not done it my self, I just looked it up:
JComponent.setComponentPopupMenu(JPopupMenu popup).
The menu doesn't showed automatically when I added it to a JComponent and tried to right click.
I guess you could add a listener and call setVisible and setLocation for the menu in the listener, but there has to be an easier way...

How to change the drop down list "Category" in the Risk page (PWA 2013)

Hello,
How to change the drop down list "Category" in the Risk page of a Project Site. I need to change the list of elements.
Thanks

Hi Robert,
You actually cannot edit the current template.
The process is as follow:
create a brand new project site from the existing template,
edit the site configuration (list, column, webparts, image, logo, theme...),
save it as a template,
associate it to an EPT.
See reference below:

Drop down list in adobe.

Hi,
I have created an adobe form, in which I have to create drop down box which has to read values from simple type. for this i have created context attribute whose type is simple type, and i have draged that context attribute in adobe form, and made it to drop down list, but values r not getting populating here,
how to poin this to simple type.

Hi try this way
In your view create a Value Node of cardinality 1:1 (say of name DataSource ).
Inside DataSource Create another Value Node of cardinality 0:n say Employee .
Create a Value Attribute of Java_Simple_Type say EmpName.
In Interactive Form Properties bind DataSource node under DataSource Element Properties.
Open Interactive form to Edit.
In adobe form designer go to left side window among three windows available.
Go to Data View Tab.
Here u will see your context structure.
click on EmpName under Employee Node and drag and drop it to middle window which is adobe design time window.
By this u will get a UI Element with drop down list and is automatically bound to context also.
Save and Deploy.

Drop-Down List Box on Form Is Cleared at Each Step in a Workflow Process

Hello users,
I am posting this in the Workflow Designer, Workflow Server and Form Designer forums so that it gets a little more exposure, so I apologize if you receive this more than once.
I have a Form Designer 5.0 form attached to a Workflow Server 6.1 process. On the form, I have a drop-down list box being populated from a text box by the OnDataLoad event on the form ONLY when the process is first initiated. The text box is populated by the OnAssign event of the first step in the process map. When the task initiator submits the form to the second step in the process and the user opens the form, the drop-down list box is no longer populated - it has been cleared. There is no code anywhere in either the form or in the process map that clears this field.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Is it a bug?
Thanks.

Unless you hard coded the list box on design time, it will lose all data when the form is routed.
Only solution to this is:
create a text box and store your list box choice list to the text box before submitting your form and import the list box choice list back from the text box on form ready.
Hope this helps.

Populating Drop-down List in Interactive Forms for Java

Hi,all
I need to populate a drop-down list in Interactive Form.
I tried to do it by using Dynamic Properties of the drop-down
list,but didn't give nothing.At the same time I have successfully
populated a simple drop-down list(on webdynpro view),which I
replaced near my InteractiveForm.
What may be the problem?
Regards,
Michael

Use the DDL from the Web Dynpro pallette. Bind the same/ similar attribute of the DDL you used in the web Dynpro view in the interactive form also... this should work..
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

Drop-down list in interactive form go up and sounds weird

Hello everybody,
I've a problem with a drop down list in an interactive form in my webdynpro java application.
I've an interactive form in my view, display type is "native".
I've put a drop down list in the pdf and filled it with some elements taken from a bapi.
It looks like this
IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeListePoste().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("ListeTypePoste");
          ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
          countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
          IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
          countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
          for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().size();i++){
               IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement element = (IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement)wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().getElementAt(i);
               countryValueSet.put(element.getPoste_Code(),element.getPoste_Libelle());
then I've binded my drop down list with the element of the context "ListeTypePoste"
When I run the application I can see the list in my drop down but it goes "up"
Like this:
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7263/20111207170807.png
Instead of having my list going down it goes up.
And when I click the arrow to open the list I've a weird BEEEEEP like an error.
At the end the list works well and if I choose an element it's well selected, but I would like to take of the BEEEP and to have the regular list going down.
Any ideas?

Hi
I think you problem can be traced to the place where you put your drop down.
As far as I understand your drop down funcions well.
Try to move it into another container or best put it under RoorContainer. Test it.
