Active Dropdown List

http://javascript.about.com/library/bl3drop.htm
Hello,
Could active dropdown list function be written in pdf form?
I need 3 consecutive dropdown lists which data are actively connected together.
Please take a look sample at about URL. Thank you.
Q

That would be similar to Group Expansion :-). No, SharePoint does not have that out of the box, you would want to enumerate each SPUser of an SPGroup.

Data Table will not bind to Dropdown List selection

I get the following error when I try to use my own database tables (As in the "Using Databound Components to Access Databases" tutorial). It is a Oracle9i database. The Table (Vehicle)I use to populate the Dropdown List has around 450 000 rows, and the ComponentRowset returns 362 000 rows when run without a parameter.
Exception Details: javax.faces.el.EvaluationException
java.lang.NullPointerException
Possible Source of Error:
Class Name: com.sun.faces.el.ValueBindingImpl
File Name: ValueBindingImpl.java
Method Name: getValue
Line Number: 206
Please help! What am I doing wrong? As far as I can see the code is identical to the "Using Databound Components to Access Databases" tutorial.
Here is the code:

Take a look at the Page1 constructor.
It appears that you're trying to bind the datatable to 2
different rowsets. I suggest to clean up this
constructor to make sure you're using the right
rowset.
Your value binding expressions on each column
of the datatable may not be set to the right column.

How to Add values to dropdown list in runtime

Hi All
I wanted to add the items to the dropdown list in the plugin.
The SDK Example WriteFishPrice shows the items are hard coded in the .fr file.
i am looking for a similar concept, but not adding the items in the .fr file, i wanted to add the items in the .cpp or .h files and add the items to the dropdownlist.
DECLARE_PMID(kWidgetIDSpace, kWFPDropDownListWidgetID, kWFPPrefix + 2)
The declaration is done in WFPID.h file
#define kWFPDropDownItem_1Key kWFPStringPrefix "kWFPDropDownItem_1Key"
defining the string is done in WFPID.h
I wanted to add the items in the same header file, is there any way that i can add the items in the header files instead of adding in .fr file
Please guide me
Thank you
-Srinivas

Hope this will help you a bit with both threads ; ) I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with defining the strings in an header or cpp file and not in the fr file(s). Usually you sort of predefine strings in the main fr file and then give a "final" translation definition for each string in the corrosponding language file. If you don't need or want to translate you can define string constants almost wherever you like and add them at runtime e.g. during dialog initialization. In this case you'd have to make each string not to be translateable with PMString.SetTranslatable(kFalse). If you want to add items to a listbox or text edit during runtime you just have to get the interfaces and call their methods. Below is a small example taken from a dialog with a dropdown listbox, a text edit field and a button widget. In the DialogObserver I implemented the Update function to the following functionality: - when the button (Insert Button) is pressed the content of the edit field is read and inserted into the listbox - when something in the listbox is selected, the selection is shown/inserted into the text field void VSPDialogObserver::Update ( const ClassID& theChange, ISubject* theSubject, const PMIID& protocol, void* changedBy ) { // Call the base class Update function so that default behavior will still occur (OK and Cancel buttons, etc.). CDialogObserver::Update(theChange, theSubject, protocol, changedBy); do { InterfacePtr<IControlView> controlView(theSubject, UseDefaultIID()); ASSERT(controlView); if(!controlView) break; InterfacePtr<IDialogController> dialogCtrl(this, UseDefaultIID()); if (!dialogCtrl) break; InterfacePtr<IPanelControlData> panelControlData(this, UseDefaultIID()); if (!panelControlData) break; //get currently selected/active widget WidgetID theSelectedWidget = controlView->GetWidgetID(); // is it the drop down list? if (theSelectedWidget== kVSPDropDownWidgetID) { TRACE("ListBoxAction"); //insert selected string into edit field PMString strSelection = dialogCtrl->GetTextControlData(kVSPDropDownWidgetID); strSelection.SetTranslatable(kFalse); dialogCtrl->SetTextControlData(kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID, strSelection); break; } // ist it the text edit field? if (theSelectedWidget == kVSPInsertButtonWidgetID && theChange == kTrueStateMessage) { TRACE("Insert Button pressed"); IControlView* listView = panelControlData->FindWidget(kVSPDropDownWidgetID); InterfacePtr<IStringListControlData> listControlData(listView, UseDefaultIID()); //Insert the string into listbox PMString strText = dialogCtrl->GetTextControlData(kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID); // obviously there can't be a translation for text entered by user strText.SetTranslatable(kFalse); listControlData->AddString(strText,kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID); //"clear" the text edit field dialogCtrl->SetTextControlData(kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID, ""); break; } } while (kFalse); }

Dropdown List Not Refresh with Static PDF

Hi,
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9 to design my form and view using Acrobat X Pro. In my form, I have a dropdown list that binds to a data connection to populate the list of products available. The SQL query of the data connection is as simple as below,
"SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd = yes"
Everything works perfectly when I save my PDF in dynamic form. However, due to some limitation with dynamic form, I have no choice but to save the PDF in static form. Problem with static form arises when there are changes to PUB_Product table which could be adding/removing product, setting an active product to non-active and etc. In case of any changes, I have to re-open the PDF in LiveCycle and save it in order to have the latest data reflected in the form. Is there anything I can do so that the changes to the product table will straight away reflected in the form without having to re-save it?
Thanks in advance for your advise.
Regards,
Steven

Hi Paul,
Thanks for helping. I'm using Acrobat to view the PDF form. Thus, shouldn't have any problem connecting to the database.
I've captured some screenshots as below and hope it helps you understand my situation better.
This is my Access database
This is my PDF. Added a data connection "Product" using SQL Query "SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd=yes" whereby it will only extract the "active" products.
Binded the product code dropdown list with "Product" data connection to populate the list.
The output of the PDF form. Only the active products are being listed.
Now, if let's say I add a new product to my PUB_Product table, the dynamic form will straight away list the new product but not the static form.
Dynamic form
Static form
In order to see the new product listed in the static form dropdown list, I have to re-open the form in Live Cycle and just simply save it. So my question is, is there anything I can do to skip this "open and save" step?
Thanks.

Steven

Dropdown list not updating when bound db changes

I hope someone can help me. I have a form created by Livecycle Designer ES. It contains a dropdown list populated by a bound to a database table. All works well until the database table is altered. The dropdown list does not reflect the change. It is as if the values were snapshotted when the was saved in Livecycle. I have been unable to find a way to make the list update.
Details:
LiveCycle Designer ES version 8.2.1 - part of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with the latest updates.
The table is contained in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
The data connection: OLEDB Database,
Provider: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Connection: UFN
What am I doing wrong?

In order to see the new product listed in the static form dropdown list, I have to re-open the form in Live Cycle and just simply save it. So my question is, is there anything I can do to skip this "open and save" step?
Thanks.

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?

Sounds like a PCD Permissions issue. Try assigning Read Access permissions to Everyone group for the following items:
1) the Folder containing the iView and/or
2) the application itself
