AutoComplete in Infopath Dropdown list

Hi Techies,
I want to implement autocomplete feature in Infopath form drop down. The source of the contents are from sharepoint list. Can you please let me know if it can be achieved through OOTB features?
Please remember to click 'Mark as Answer' on the answer if it helps you

If i understand you, autocomplete is a feature available with Managed metadata. If you want this kind of functionality, it is not available in the Infopath form OOTB. But when you highlight the dropdown, you can go to the first character of the options by
hitting any alphabet. I hope that answers your question.
Below is the link to do this using Jscript:

Repeating Table filtered by a dropdown list in Infopath 2013?

I have 2 lists.
The second list has a lookup column from the first list.
I have a dropdown list that is bound to list 1.
I want the repeating table to be filtered by the selection of the first list. I've seen some tutorials in earlier versions that do this but I cannot see how this is done in 2013.

Hi,
If you would filter repeating table from another field’s value in InfoPath form, you could add the list as secondary data source to the form and filed as main data source. Then a formatting rule will help you filter the data you want to display.
Here are the references for convenience:

Customize autocomplete filter of DropDown

Hi there,
I'm currently working on a more complex autocomplete solution for a dropdown list.
It's described in several sources that by enabling the "custom text entry" of the dropdown list, open it up on enter and do some filtering on exit, you have a simple autocompletion. This filters the items in the list such that only the items starting like the typed text are shown.
In my case, I have an adressbook in the background and want the autocompletion to search in multiple fields. For example, having "John Doe" in the dropdown list, I want to match the filter not only on "Joh" (first letters of the display value) but also on "Doe" (first letters of the last name).
For that I created a change event script that takes the typed string and fill the dropdown with the matching items. So far it's working fine.
But sadly after my filter the build in filter seems to hook in and hides all items that are not starting with the custom text.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour?
I have tried several other solutions like put a text field in the foreground of the dropdown box and use this for text entry, but it moves to the background as soon as I focus on the dropdown, or using a text field and a floating list that is shown when needed but no scrollbars are shown unless you focus the list and then you can't type anymore, and so on.
I would be glad if you can help me or tell me an idea that could work!
Regards,
Philipp

Hello Philipp,
I am also trying to work thru the same thing. Possibly we can get there together ...
I am familiar with the "custom text entry" method, but that alone doesn' suffice.
I am trying to tackle it without creating any extra text fields, etc, ... just use the drop-down list field itself.
Right now I am reading in detail http://forums.adobe.com/message/2372156#2372156
Seems like this is trying to tackle the same functionality you are looking for.
I'll keep you posted if I find anything.

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.

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!
EM

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
