Using the values from a drop down list to display in a separate cell

Hi all,
I must apologise if I don;t use the right 'terminology' as I am just an ordinary guy who uses a mac. I am also deaf which means I am totally dependant on the internet for fixing solutions.
Basically, I wanted to create a drop down list which I had no problem doing.
In the drop down, I have the options One-Piece, Two-Piece and Three-Quarter.
I would like to get it so that when I select the One-Piece, the value of 160 appears in a separate cell. If I select Two-Piece, then I would need 130 to appear in that separate cell. Likewise, Three-Quarter to produce 150.
Just to clarify, if we had a two-column and one row table, then the drop-down would be in A1, which the values would appear in B1.
I do not know the formula, and cannot find any instructions anywhere as I am probably using the wrong terminology or function name!
Any help would be much, much appreciated..
Carl

I don't guess what I may add.
The contents of the table named lookup appear on the screenshot.
cell A1 contains the string One-Piece, cell B1 contains the 'associated' value 160.
cell A2 contains the string Two-Piece, cell B2 contains the 'associated' value 130.
cell A3 contains the string Three-Quarter, cell B3 contains the 'associated' value 150.
Now table Main
In column B the cells contain a pop_up menu with four items like the ones described by Jerrold.
In column C of the cells contain the formula :
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B,Tableau 2 :: A:B,2,FALSE),"")
I enhanced it since yesterdays because I forgot to treat the case when cell is blank in column B.
I apologize but as I'm using my machine in French, the screenshot display the French formulas.

As you are in Stoke-on-Trent maybe your system is set to use the comma as decimal separator.
If it's that, you must replace the comma by semi-colons in the formulas (you may see them in my screenshot).

How to grab the value from a drop down list inside a table cell

Hello,
My situation is I have a few columns displayed in a table format using repeater tag. Some cells is a dropdown list(<netui:select /> tag). My question is how can I grab the value when user made a selection.
I believe I can get the row index but I can't use the datasource attribute to get the user selection since it is in a repeater. All the cell use the same datasource and workshop will give "NULL" value when there are more than one tag bind to the same form valiable.
Any suggestion are very much appreciated! Thanks a lot in advance.
My snippet code are:
<netui-data:repeater dataSource="{pageFlow.ownedTask}"><netui-data:repeaterHeader></netui-data:repeaterHeader>
<tr valign="top">
<td><netui:select dataSource="{actionForm.userName}" optionsDataSource="{pageFlow.nameList}" onChange="getUser()" ></netui:select>
</td>
<td><netui:select dataSource="{actionForm.empDept}" optionsDataSource="{pageFlow.deptList}" onChange="getSelectedDept()" ></netui:select>
</td>
<td><netui:label value="{container.item.status}" />
</td>
</tr>
</netui-data:repeaterItem>
<netui-data:repeaterFooter></netui-data:repeaterFooter>
</netui-data:repeater>

1) let drop down box be g_dd.
if g_dd is initial.
g_dd = option2.
endif.
2)
by default same pf-status is used by all the screens in the same program
if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
set pf-status 'abc' excluding 'fcode_of_button'
endif.
or
data: git_fcode type sy-ucomm with header line.
git_fcode = 'fcode_of_button'.
append git_fcode.
if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
set pf-status excluding git_fcode
endif.

Get/Set values from a drop down list

I am trying to modify the http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/web/web-jpa-part2.html so that instead of entering the data from a text field (in update & add) the values come from a drop down list from a table. I have drop down lists that are populated bothe from the DB and hard coding. When I run, I am able to see the options on the DDs. But none of the CRUD work. I think this is because my set and get for the drop down is wrong. Then again, I also have a few text fields from the original example which also don't seem to work. Here is a piece of my addButton():
        RowKey[] selectedRowKeys = getTableRowGroup1().getSelectedRowKeys();
        PaymentDetails[] pv = getSessionBean1().getPaymentVoucher();
        int rowId = Integer.parseInt(selectedRowKeys[0].getRowId());
        PaymentDetails upPV = pv[rowId];
        bankCodeDD.getSelected();
        statusDD.getSelected(); // hard coded value
      upPV.setPrepBy((String) prepByField.getText());
      PaymentDetailsController pvController = new PaymentDetailsController();
        pvController.addPaymentDetails(upPV);
        addRequest = false;
        return null;How do I set and get the values from the drop down so than it passed to my bean? When I choose a row to be updated, make changes and click Update, I get this message on my Tomcat:
com.sun.webui.jsf.component.DropDown::The current value of component form1:deptCodeDD does not match any of the selections.
Did you forget to reset the value after changing the options?Can someone please point me to a place which shows how I can add a default value from my DD? I tried to follow http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/dropdowncomp.html, but unable to complete because I get an error for Options api. The auto-fix imported import org.apache.jasper.Options; But the package given in the tutorial is com.sun.webui.jsf.model.Option. My Java version is 1.6.0_07.
private Options listOptions[];
...//getter setter goes here
listOptions = new Option[noofDBRows + 1];Many Thanks!

Getting the value from a Drop Down Box

I'm working on a database project to keep track of our Blackberrys. The problem I'm having is entering the values for two drop down boxes. The page I'm working on enters the FirstName, LastName, Department, and Location. Department and Location have thier own Primary Keys and are foreign keys in the Person table. Departments and Locations are aligned by numbers like 1 = Ohio, 2 = Chicago. They
don't automatically increase. The problem I'm having is entering them as a foreign key in the Person Table. I'm not sure if I use a getValue or getSelected or some other code to get the values to populate in the Person Table. I just keep getting a can't add department or location to table.
public String newUser_action() {
// TODO: Process the button click action. Return value is a navigation
// case name where null will return to the same page.
if (personDataProvider.canAppendRow()) {
try {
RowKey rowKey =
personDataProvider.appendRow();
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.FIRSTNAME", rowKey,
firstName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LASTNAME", rowKey,
lastName.getText());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.DEPTID", rowKey,
department.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.LOCATIONID", rowKey,
location.getSelected());
personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSON.BEGINDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
//personDataProvider.setValue(
"DBO.PERSONDEVICE.AQUIREDATE", rowKey,
newDate.getText());
personDataProvider.commitChanges();
info("New User " + newUser.getText() +
" added to USER table");
newUser.setText(null);
} catch (Exception e) {
log("Cannot add new User ", e);
error("Cannot add new User: " +
e.getMessage());
} else {
log("Cannot append new User");
error("Cannot append new User");
return null;
}

Adobe LiveCycle Drop Down List which allows typing to filter the values in a Drop Down list

I have a drop down list in my form with contains a lot of different numbers, text, countries, cities and states, etc.
I would like the user to either have the option to only use the drop down list or they can type "Zapple" or any portion and have it populate the value.
Is there a setting or code which I can use which will do this?
Currently, if the user types the first letter or number it will take them to the beginning of the list (since I have them listed alphabetically/numerically), but I'd prefer they can type beyond the first character and pinpoint the option they're looking for.
Thank you for any help

The whole sample will need to be updated. As I said in the email it can be done but it will be complex. This particular sample requires an external xml file. You will need to pull this from data in the form.

Hi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Getting the rawValue of a Drop-Down list on the "change" event

I am having problems getting the rawValue of a Drop-Down list on the "change" event. It seems that you have to select the same item twice in a row to get the rawValue to be the value of the selected item.
::dropdownlist onChange event::
xfa.host.messageBox(this.rawValue);
On the first time a value is selected you get 'null'. The second time the same value is selected, you get the selected value.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this is happening? Also, I CANNOT use xfa.event.newText, I need to use the rawValue of the dropdownlist.
Thanks

The change event occurs before the rawValue is changed. If you NEED to use the rawValue you'll need to use a later event. Perhaps you could use exit so that it gets triggered when the field loses focus?

Changing the size of a drop down list

Hi Everyone,
Is there anyway to change the size of a drop down list? For example, our customer would like to make the drop down list for the Ship-To field on the logistics tab of the sales orders longer. Currently, they cannot see the full name when they scroll through it. Is this possible? Depending on what Customer Code they enter, the field size appears to change.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Amanda

I am using Tahoma size 10 as well.
Is the drop down size somehow related to the size of the first few records? So, if those are shorter than those at the end, perhaps it doesn't adjust for the size of the bottom records. For example, in our customer's database here's a sampling of what they have entered and the order:
Wal-Mart 6124
Wal-Mart 6125
Wal-Mart 6126
Wal-Mart 7001
Wal-Mart Supercenter 1111
Wal-Mart Supercenter 2094
Wal-Mart Supercenter 3475
The drop down box is large enough to see the Wal-Mart 6124, etc. but not large enough to see the Wal-Mart Supercenter ones at the bottom of the list (keep in mind there are over 100 ship-to's for this Business Parnter). Does it maybe only look at the first fifty records or something like that?
Thanks again,
Amanda

Can you use the value from a numeric indicator in a numeric control?

Hi!
I have to develop a code where I have to find the maximum value of a waveform and draw a line at 50% of the value. So I chose to find the amplitude of say 10 cycles of waveforms and found the maximum value out of the amplitudes.
But my real problem is, I have to use the maximum amplitude value that I get from the max. array VI and put it back in program to calculate the 50% value.
So is it possible to use the value from a numeric indicator and put it in a numeric control? Like in MATLAB or C, you give the variable a name and use it later to do any computations. Is it possible to do something similar in LabVIEW?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi!
Thank you very much for taking some time out. I have been trying to do this since 2 months and I am stuck right where I am.
The situation is, I have to calculate the amplitude of the irregular waveform for a few trials and then find the maximum amplitude out of the trials and display a line at whatever % of amplitude the user chooses. I tried using property nodes but I am getting Error 1055 for some unknown reason. Then I decided to draw the line using DC offset but it turns out it calculates the amplitude each time and so the line keeps dancing everytime. Now my challenge is to have the amplitude calculated for say, 20 loops and then calculate the max from that. I ran out of ideas so I am posting here. I am using LabVIEW version 8, and I'll upload a few of my attempts. I hope I am not troubling you'll much.

How to set a default value for a drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value in Infopath 2010.

Hello Everyone
I have two drop downs. Both are coming from look up fields from two lists. i want to set a default value(first list item) for the first drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value for the next drop down list box. I found one article(http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/display-first-item-drop-down-list-box-infopath-2010.htm)
where in i can set a default value but i can't apply cascading based on that default value. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

How to use value in a drop-down list box as "With these Values" parameter?

Hello, new user.
I have a drop-down list box on Page 1, upon which the user can choose a study number. The List Box is named "P1_STUDY_NBR".
Then I have a list, one entry of which goes to my master-detail form, which is Page 6. I would like it to go to the study number that the user choose on Page 1.
In my target on the create/edit list entry, I put in "Page in this Application", "Page 6", then in Set these items, I put in
P6_STUDY_NBR
My question is what to use in With these values, where I want the contents of the P1_STUDY_NBR. I tried:
&P1_STUDY_NBR
and that does not work. If I put in one of the study numbers, like 336-00, then it does work, but I want it to pass the study number the user chooses in the list box. How do I refer to the contents of P1_STUDY_NBR?
-Mary

Yes, that does work, thanks. I'm now getting the default value I was putting in yesterday rather than an error message, so there must be something loading it, but I'll hunt around for what process might be doing that, or try re-creating the master-detail form again.

Displaying value only in Drop Down List

Greetings,
I have a drop down list with value:text as follows:
01:Daylight
02:Dusk
03:Dawn
04:Night
I would like to present the user who clicks on the drop down list with all of the literal text options (daylight, night, etc), but once selected, the object populate and print only the value (01, 02, etc).
I thought about resizing the object when the user clicks on it, and then resizing it back once selected, but this seems rather cumbersome. Space on the printed form is very limited, which is why the value/codes are used to represent the actual literal options.
Any methods or ideas would be greatly welcome
Thanks!
Brad

Here is a sample that shows what I think you want. I have a TextField that is displayed. When the user enters the field, I hide this field and make a DDlist available to the user. This DDList is placed behind the TextField and is hidden (not part of the layout) until the user enters the TextField. I also hide the TextField (this code is on the Enter event of the TextField). Now that the DDlist is visible you can set up a DDList to display one thing but report another. This is what I did (look at the binding tab of the DDList). Now when the user selects an item from the DDList the TextField is updated, the DDList is hidden and the TextField is made visisble, then the cursor is placed in the next field. This code is on the Exit event of the DDList.
Is this what you were trying to accomplish?
