Blue List Boxes

I noticed that others have posted regarding this question, but haven't seen any answers. I'll give it a try.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 8 on a Vista 32 system. When creating list boxes in fillable forms, the background of the list box field shows and prints in blue. Changing the appearance in the properties dialogue box has no effect. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get rid of the blue background?
Thanks in advance!
Charlene

Unfortunately it's not possible to change the background of this list boxes but it would make a great features request:

How to submit a multiple-selection list box in an Infopath Sharepoint form as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list?

I would like to be able to submit an Infopath form with a multiple selection list box in Sharepoint as multiple entries on a Sharepoint list.
For example, a user has to complete the following fields:
First Name:
Last Name:
Favorite Color (can select more than one):
[] Blue
[] Red
[] Yellow
[] Green
If the user picks blue AND red and submits the form, the Sharepoint list would feature TWO entries, both with their first and last names, but with different colors in the "Favorite Color" column.
Please let me know if there is a way to do this. Any guidance would be helpful!

Hi redhotc,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
was fine.Please have a try as the below link:

Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:

I hope this helps.

Why is list box field highlighted?

I am creating a fillable PDF form using Acrobat Pro X (10.1.7) that is intended to be filled in using Reader or by hand. I have only one field that is a list box (with 43 items), and for some unknown reason, in both Acrobat Pro X and in Reader XI, it is being highlighted in blue even when all other fields are not highlighted (Highlight Existing Fields off). When the other fields are highlighted in light blue, the list box field is highlighted in a darker blue. It displays the same behavior whether the fill color is white or no color. When I print the form in black and white, which is how it will normally be printed, the field is filled in with a medium gray. I'm an Acrobat newbie so I haven't done anything fancy with the field. I need to get rid of the highlighting ASAP and I don't have a clue about what could be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Perhaps "highlighting" is not the correct term for what is happening, sorry for the misuse of terminology. I need this field to have no background color and I don't understand why it does. I have difficulty believing this is a standard display methology because the field prints as medium gray on a B&W printer, and the black text is hardly visible as a result.
The State field is a drop-down list and has no color. Do I need to change the County field to a drop-down list as well to get rid of this problem?

Multicolumn list box, "operate value tool" and "active cell"

If I use the "operate value tool" to select a row
of the multicolumn list box, that row gets a dark blue background.
However, I cannot determine which property will tell me what is that row or let me
change that row number. It is not the active cel or "edit position".
I want to programatically change the selection just as the "operate value tool" does. I can change the background color of the cell but the dark blue of the cells selected by the "operate value tool" take precedence and hide my colors.
Extremely frustrated and wishing for Java or C++...

Hi Alan,
Have a look at event structures and invoke nodes (Point to Row Column) and use property nodes. Here is an attachment.

Getting multiple values from a list box

Hi,
I am not able to get multiple selected values from a list box using the getParameterValues(). I used the following code..
String[] names=request.getParameterValues("lname");
can anyone tell me what the error is or is there any other way i can get multiple selected values from a list box.
Thanks
Satish

Fragment 1
This is the JSP Code am using for testing
<%
String[] name =request.getParameterValues("D1");
if(name.length==1)
String value=name[0];
Instead of name.lenght==1 try with name!=null
Fragment 2
out.println(value);
replace the above fragment with
%>
<%-- print result -->
<%=name[0]%>
<%
Fragment 3
else
%>
The list box D1 is a multiple select list box.
If it still doesn't work, check that the checkboxes have the same name as well as different values
<input type="checkbox" name="D1" value="1">
<input type="checkbox" name="D1" value="2">I hope this helps :-)
Good luck

Along with the PBO and PAI event, add a POV event in the flow logic of the screen
DEMO_DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX -is a good demo example.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD structure_name-field_name MODULE create_dropdown_box.
In the report :
MODULE create_dropdown_box INPUT.
SELECT carrid carrname
                FROM scarr
                INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_carrid.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       EXPORTING
            retfield        = 'CARRID'
            value_org       = 'S'
       TABLES
            value_tab       = itab_carrid
       EXCEPTIONS
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            OTHERS          = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
In the layout, assign a Function Code , for eg : 'SELECTED' to the listbox and lets say name of the field is SDYN_CONN-CARRID. So in the PAI module,
MODULE user_command_0100 INPUT.
CASE ok_code.
    WHEN 'SELECTED'.
      MESSAGE i888(sabapdocu) WITH sdyn_conn-carrid.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.
sdyb_conn-carrid will contain your selected field

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 get the selected value/key of a drop down list box in webdynpro Java

Dear SDN Members,
I have added some static data into a drop down list box by key UI element using the procedure specified in value help tutorial.
Now i want to display the value selected in a dropdown list box on view whenever i select an item in a dropdown list box.
Can any one put here the code part relating to this.
Your help will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sireesha.B

Hi Sireesha,
You want to display value based on the key selected in dropdown list. If you want to do like that
1) Create a context attribute for ex: key_value
2)In the properties of the attribute select the calculated as true.
3)It will create getter and setter methods for your attribute.
4)Go to implementation add the following code in getter method of your attribute
String attributeName = IPrivateCreate.IContextElement.KEY;
//KEY is your dropdown key attribute not the value attribute.
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = element.node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(attributeName);
ISimpleTypeModifiable simpleType = attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet valueset = simpleType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
Object key = element.getAttributeAsText(attributeName);
return valueset.getText(key);

Getting values from list box

i am populating a list box with Id's and names from a database and im trying to get the values from the list box depending what the user chooses, i.e if they choose the first choice in the list box the value i want to put in a variable is 1, etc
here is the code for the list box, please help
<select name="lstFilm" size="1">
          <%while (result4.next())
               {%>
<option value="<%result4.getInt(1);%>">
<%out.println(result4.getString(2));%>
</option>
               <%}%>
</select>

String[] lstFilm = request.getParameterValues("lstFilm");
Of course, it'll only return selected values. It'll be whatever the option values are.

How can I have multiple-selection list box "select at least one checkbox" option active only when the section it's in is visible?

Hi, I'm using SP13 and InfoPath2013.
I created a custom form and published it to SP13 document library. This form has many MSLB. Depending on the checkboxes selected in the 1st MSLB, the other MSLB will either hide or show. Each MSLB is in its own section. The requirement
is to have each MSLB to have at least one checkbox selected. Well, the problem is that when that MSLB isnot checked in the 1st MSLB it is not visible and shouldn't require any checkbox to be selected. However, the form can't get submitted instead
an error dialog would pop up and ask user to make a selection for MSLB that is not even displayed. Is there any way to fix this besides unchecking all MSLB to be not required at least one selection? Thank you.

Eric,
I follow your reply post here and still doesn't work. I also noticed your screen shot of selecting a field is not the same as what I see in InfoPath 2013.
Here is what I did,
1.Check At least one selection required for
these Multiple-selection List Boxes
as you want .
2.Create a Formatting rule for the 2nd
Multiple-selection List Box.
3.Add a Condition as below:
4. I get a validation error if I don't
select at least one checkbox in the hidden MSLB control when submitting.
I think I'm following all the steps correctly
but please let me know if I'm not.

How do I use a drop-down list to populate a list box

I'm using livecycle 8:
I basically have a drop down list with many selections available. I want the function to be when they select from the drop-down the choice they made appears in a list box next to the drop-down box. If they choose to add additional selections from the drop-down list they will add to the list field as well. If anyone has seen one of those on-line job application sites where you have a list of qualities on the left and you can select them and they populate to a list on the right, That is basically what I want.
I'm not too familiar with adobe quite yet and if you can break the process down as much as possible I would greatly appreciate it.

Here are my two drop down lists. As you can see I build the second list dynamically based off the value of the year. I want to be able to assign my year to the value I select in this first drop down. How do I do that?? I only want to show games for the year I select. I currently have the year hardcoded to "2009" as you see below. How can i change that to be assigned to the JavaScript value i extract from the first select box?
<select name="season">
<option value='2009' selected>2009</option>
<option value='2008'>2008</option>
</select>
<select name="gameselect">
<%
try
String year = "2009";
String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ElmwoodExpos";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "thejedster");
String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
Statement s = con.createStatement();
s.executeQuery(sql);
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
while(rs.next())
%>
<option value="1"><% out.print(rs.getString("GameDescription"));%></option>
<%
catch(Exception e)
%>
</select>

SetSelectedValue for multiple values in List Box

Hi,
I want to set the selectedValue for multiple values in the List Box. If i use setSelectedValue for all the values, it just highlights the last one.
Can anyone tell me how do i highlight multiple values in the List Box?
Scenario:
I have one screen where the List Box and "Go" button is placed. When i select multiple values in the list box and hit "Go" it should display what i have selected in the List Box.
Note: List Box is generated dynamically.
Thanks,
Naresh V

setSelectedValue as the name indicates will set one value and in your case since you are using it multiple times it would pick the last value.
When the user selects multiple values from the list box and clicks on Go you can capture those values in the controller for processing. What are you trying to achieve by resetting all the selected values on the same listbox ?

How do you add a multiple entries at once to a drop-down list box?

I'm making a form for students to fill out and I want them to be able to pick from about 200 different courses. In the Field/List Items place, it would appear that you can only enter one item one at a time. I did this for 56 faculty,which took too much time, but for over 200 course titles, it would be much more convenient just to copy/paste them from an Excel spreadsheet, which is what I've tried doing. Any help or tips would be appreciated. I've attached a PDF of what I'm working on. The drop-down box is the one next to "Course." Thanks.

Hi,
The next version of LiveCycle Designer ES2 will allow user to copy and paste a long list of items into a dropdown or list box at design time. But until then your choices are limited.
Paste them one at a time;
You could set up a global variable in the (File/Form Properties) with the 200 items in the one variable. Then it would depend if your users have Acrobat/Reader v9 or earlier versions of Acrobat/Reader. John Brinkman has (several) blogs on this topic: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/01/populating_list_boxes.html
If you are going with v9 then you can use the setItem script. However if you want your form to be compatible with earlier versions then you will need the addItem script.
Also check out a sample by Steve Walker. http://forums.adobe.com/message/1939873#1939873 and http://forums.adobe.com/message/2038932#2038932 The first one dealt with adding user entered data onto a dropdown, which is not exactly what you are after, but it will give you direction in populating a dropdown from an array.
You would place the script in the docReady event of the dropdown, which would populate the dropdown every time the form is opened.
Good luck,
Niall
