Special characters in the combo box

Hi OIM Gurus,
I have populated some values with special characters in combo box,when i select the option it should show me the result set ,instead it shows"Illegal Characters Entered
The data provided contains special characters that are not allowed. "
is look-up a good option ? or any other fix for the combo box?
Thanks in advance,
Cats Paw

I forget what I used (combo box, enum, etc) but I tried to put a + and - sign in and switch between the two. While the - sign showed up correctly, when the user went to select from the drop down, it was a separator! Not very intuitive! I thought a \ would escape it, but no luck.

Not able to populate data in the combo box

Hi Guys,
I m new to flex development and I want to populate the data
coming from the databasein the combobox.I am able to get the length
.but not able to populate the data.
Can anyone helpme out?
The code is below:
The data displayed in the combox box is displayed as
[object],[object] etc.I m sure that the data is coming from the
database and its not populated in the combo box.any help is
appreciated.
private function getParkinfo(event:ResultEvent):void
{ Alert.show(event.result.length.toString());
countries.dataProvider = event.result;
<mx:ComboBox id="countries" />

What does the data look like in the result? Is it XML? Post a
sample of it.

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums

HI Experts,
Good Mornong.How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums?
Regards And Thanks,
M.Thippa Reddy

hi,
loading data in to the combobox on form load.but, it should be done when atleast one row is active.
the values what ever you are inserting in to combo should be less than or eqhal to 100 or 150.if it exceeds beyond that performance issue arises.it takes more time to load all the data.so, it is better to have 100 or less.
oMatrix.AddRow()
RS = Nothing
RS = ocompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
RS.DoQuery("select ItemCode,ItemName from oitm")
oCombo = oMatrix.Columns.Item("ColumnUID").Cells.Item(oMatrix.RowCount).Specific
For i = 1 To RS.RecordCount
      If RS.EoF = False Then
            oCombo.ValidValues.Add(RS.Fields.Item("ItemCode").Value,RS.Fields.Item("ItemName").Value)
            RS.MoveNext()
      End If
Next
the above code is inserting data from database to column combobox.
you can fill combo directly also as shown below.
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("x","1")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("y","2")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("z","3")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("","")
and what ever the values you are filling into combo should be unique.other wise it shows valid value exists.

Control the combo box select of COPY FROM in Delivery Order

Dear all
I have a requirement where in the user wants to restrict the "copy from" button on the delivery order. They want the delivery orders to be created only from Sales orders.
So that would mean that i do a bubbleevent = false when any other row is selected in the combo box dropdown. But I am not able to get the control to the combobox.
In the system information it says that the form is "-9876", but couldnt catch any event on it either.
Any suggestions to control the selection of the "COPY FROM" combobox is most welcome.
Thanks in advance

I have a MacBook purchased in 2009 with Snow Leopard. I tried to access "special characters" from the Finder menu and an intermittent blank pop ups and will not stop. It also happens when I run Word or Pages.

The blank pop up began as I tried to access "special characters" from the finder menu. I restarted, turned off and restarted and it did not work. It interferes with any application because I cannot work fast. Every new step takes a few seconds longer such as saving, finding text, check spelling and many more. I am desperate to solve this. Thanks in advance for any help given.

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

How do you use the combo box to populate a text box

I am a beginner when it comes to Java Script. I have viewed many different discussions, look at a lot of "help" articles dealing with Acrobat 9 and Java Script, but only to be left confused and dazed. I am hoping someone will be able to tell me how to write a script that will populate a text box that is on my form with the combo box selection's export value...
Thanks

If you want the text box to be read-only, just set it up with the following custom calculate script:
// Set this field value to the value of the combo box
event.value = getField("combo1").value;
but replace "combo1" with the actual name of the combo box field.
If you want something else, post again with more information.

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.
I need some help creating multi-level select lists with JavaScript:
Can anyone explain this code:

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?

Contact form not accepting certain characters in the email box

Hi, i am currently using a flash template from flashmo.com and i have installed it etc... The problem i have is that when you go to send a message in the contact form you cannot enter certain characters in the email box, especially the '@' symbol, hw do i go about fixing this?
Thanks a lot

for each textfield you see in the ide, click it (to select it) and check the properties panel/embed fonts to make sure all characters needed in your app are checked.

Question about using the Combo Box feature!

I have a form that I am trying to create for our company that will allow our field nurses to select what they need and print it more effieciently. The problem is that some of the selections are too long and I can't get the Combo box feature to allow them to be printed on multiple lines:
I have spoken to my supervisor about redoing the form to look like this:
But in order for us to meet state guidelines it has to be formated like the first because that is the state form given to us. I want to be able to either:
A) have the combo box multi-line auto text sized so it will get all the information into each box
OR
B) create text boxes at the end of the form that auto enteries the selected data from the second picture into boxes that look like the first picture.
Is there any way to do either of these?

A) No.
B) Yes. Create a text box with the following code as the custom calculation
script (assuming the name of the combo is "Combo Box1"):
event.value = this.getField("Combo Box1").value;
That way, when the user makes a selection in the combo-box, the value will
also appear in the text box. Just make sure to make the text box read-only
and set the combo-box to apply the selection immediately.

Special characters in the combo box
