Calculate combo boxes

Hi I am new to flash and i'm trying to create a roi calculator using two combo boxes. Box 1 how many treatments 5,10,20 Box 2 cost per treatment 90, 100, 120 then button to calculate treatment x cost and a dynamic text field to display result. I am using Flash CS4, am I wasting my time with combo boxes I have searched flsh docs all day. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Here's a link to an AS3 example.  The data is added to the combo boxes via the properties panel "Parameters" section.  It includes some simplified checking to see if both selection have been made.

  • Adding an event listener to combo box

    I am working on a mortgage calculator and I cannot figure out how to add an event listener to a combo box.
    I want to get the mortgage term and interest rate to calucate the mortgage using the combo cox. Here is my program.
    Modify the mortgage program to allow the user to input the amount of a mortgage
    and then select from a menu of mortgage loans: 7 year at 5.35%, 15 year at 5.50%, and
    30 year at 5.75%. Use an array for the different loans. Display the mortgage payment
    amount. Then, list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term
    of the loan. Allow the user to loop back and enter a new amount and make a new
    selection, with resulting new values. Allow user to exit if running as an application
    (can't do that for an applet though).

    The OP already did this to both JComboBoxes.
    mochatay, here is a new actionPerformed method for you to use.
    I've improved a few things here and there...
    1) You can't just cast the ActionEvent's source into a JComboBox!
    What if it was a JButton that fired the event? Then you would get ClassCastExceptions (I'm sure you did)
    So check for all options, what the source of the ActionEvent actually was...
    2) You can't assume the user will always type in valid data.
    So enclose the Integer and Double parse methods in try-catch brakcets.
    Then you can do something when you know that the user has entered invalid input
    (like tell him/her what a clumsy idiot they are !)
    3) As soon as user presses an item in any JComboBox, just re-calculate.
    I did this here by programmatically clicking the 'Calculate' button.
    Alternatively, you could have a 'calculate' method, which does everything inside the
    if(command==calculateButton) if-block.
    This will be called when:
    a)calculateButton is pressed
    b)when either of the JComboBoxes are pressed.
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
            Object command = event.getSource ();
            if (command == calculateButton) //calculates mortgage payment
                int year = 0;
                double rate = 0;
                double mortgage = 0;
                double interest = 0;
                /* If user has input invalid data, tell him so
                and return (Exit from this method back to where we were before */
                try
                    year = Integer.parseInt (mortgageTerm.getSelectedItem ().toString ());
                    rate = new Double (interestRate.getSelectedItem ().toString ()).doubleValue ();
                    mortgage = new Double (mortgageAmount.getText ()).doubleValue ();
                    interest = rate / 100.0 / 12.0;
                catch (NumberFormatException nfe)
                    /* Display a message Dialogue box with a message */
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (this, "Error! Invalid input!");
                    return;
                double monthly = mortgage * (interest / (1 - Math.pow (interest + 1, -12.0 * year)));
                NumberFormat myCurrencyFormatter;
                myCurrencyFormatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance (Locale.US);
                monthlyPayment.setText (myCurrencyFormatter.format (monthly));
            else if (command == clearButton) //clears all text fields
                /* Better than setting it to null (I think) */
                mortgageAmount.setText ("");
                //mortgageTerm.setText(null);
                //interestRate.setText(null);
                monthlyPayment.setText ("");
            else if (command == exitButton) //sets exit button
                System.exit (0);
            else if (command == mortgageTerm)
                /* Programmatically 'clicks' the button,
                As is user had clicked it */
                calculateButton.doClick ();
            else if (command == interestRate)
                calculateButton.doClick ();
            //JComboBox mortgageTerm = (JComboBox) event.getSource ();
            //String termYear = (String) mortgageTerm.getSelectedItem ();
        }Hope this solves your problems.
    I also hope you'll be able to learn from what I've indicated, so you can use similar things yourself
    in future!

  • 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.

  • Need Help, retrieving a combo boxes actual/print/visible value instead of the export value.

    Hello,
    I need help, retrieving a combo boxes actual value, not the export value.
    I have a combo box with multiple options to select from.
    each of those selections has a separate export value, which is in the form of a number, which I use to calculate dates in a separate field.
    However, I have another field that i want to retrieve the, users selected value, which is text, from the combo box instead of the export value.
    Is there an easy way to do this.
    This is what I am currently using. But like I said the results are that I retrieve the export value and not the selected text value.
    event.value = this.getField("_Arugula").valueAsString;
    Thanks

    First get the currentValueIndices property of the combo box and use it with the getItemAt field method to return (what I call) the display value. Something like:
    var f = getField("combo1");
    var display_value = f.getItemAt(f.currentValueIndices, false);
    See the documentation for more information

  • Determine the best width for ListCellRenderer - Multi-column combo box

    Currently, I am having a multi column combo box. In order for the column to align properly during show popup, I use box layout to do so. However, the short coming for box layout is that, the size for each column is fixed. This makes me have a difficulty, when I have a long string to be displayed. The problem is shown through the following screen shoot.
    http://i.imgur.com/4Nfc6.png
    This is because in 2nd column,
    1) All the 3 rows must be in same size so that they are aligned.
    2) But 1st row and 2nd row cell renderer, do not know 3rd row is holding such a long string.
    The code (2 files) to demo this problem is as follow. Is there any way the size of the cell will be adjusted automatically? Yet, all the row will be aligned properly.

    Are these two lines intentionally or is it just a mismatch?
    jLabel2.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(100, 14));
    jLabel2.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(200, 14));
    2) But 1st row and 2nd row cell renderer, do not know 3rd row is holding such a long string.There is only one cell renderer for all rows, so no need for the rows to know each other.
    To calculate the exact maximum width of column two, you have to check each entry.
    If you can do this BEFORE creating the combo, you could do this in a loop similar to this pseudo code
    FontMetrics fm= jComboBox1.getFontMetrics(jComboBox1.getFont());
    foreach (column2String) {
      int length= fm.stringWidth(column2String);
      if (length>max) max= length;
    }Now you have a max value to dimension jLabel2 in your renderer.
    If you don't fill your combo in one go, but rather at runtime, you have to check at each
    jComboBox1.addItem(...)
    whether the string for label2 is extending the current max, redefine max, and repaint the combo.
    This second approach I haven't done so far, but that's how I would try.

  • Cant make a list/combo box that enters a different value to what you chose

    Hi Any help will be very much apreciated,
    Iv been turning my timesheet into a P.D.F form for filling out it started as an excell spread sheet and iv bassicialy just put txt boxs over the fields that need filling in and if made the "total" box add up all the hours so its great so far
    but the problem i have is for the Premises number section i want to be able to give the user a selection of all the properties but have a number entred into the actual fields for example... you chose "smiths road sainsburys" from a list but the job number "1234" is entred into the form for printing/sending
    Thanks anyone.

    If I understand what you want, you can use a text box in addition to a combo box for this. For each item in the combo box, set its export value to the number you want. Then in the text box that will display the number, use the following custom Calculate script:
    event.value = getField("combo1").value;
    Replace "combo1" with the name of the combo box.

    I can get flash to recognise the change i just can't seem to
    get the statement
    "if selected combo box data = 1 then text area = 5" to work,
    the text area defaults to the first value and changing the
    combo box item and pressing calculate doesn't change the
    value of the text box.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    can any one help?, I have tried many different things and
    still can't get it to work.

  • Combo box menu calculation of popup size ignores horizontal scrollbar

    I have a JComboBox that I've setMaximumRowCount(20). However, sometimes the combo box has as few as 2 or 3 items in it. In those cases as you probably know, Swing automatically calculates how tall the popup should be, in this case 2 rows tall.
    However, this calculation ignores the horizontal scrollbar, which basically occupies a "row" itself. This means that if I have combo box with 2 items, the displayed popup will contain the first item, a horizontal scrollbar, and a vertical scrollbar (for scrolling down to the item that the horizontal scrollbar hides) . Is this a bug in Java? If so, are there any workarounds to this?
    I've looked in the bug report section using the terms "combobox horizontal scrollbar popup" and couldn't find anything
    thanks

    the very simple strategy to do is to call removeAllItems() method for the 2nd combox box and then insert the contents. this is because the validate() method is not repeatedly called and so the contents are not updated immediately.

  • Combo Box Calculation

    I'm trying to make a custom calculation Javascript for a combo box and can't figure out the calculation.
    There are a few variables at play. I would like to incorporate a sliding scale for a student's high school gpa that looks like this:
    Students GPA:          SAT Score                   ACT Score
    2.00                          1010                            86
    2.025                        1000                            85
    Students GPA=Combo Box1
    Combo Box2=(If GPA=2.022, event.value=1010/86)
    Combo Box2=(If GPA=2.028, event value=1000/85)
    and so on (the scale continues on up to GPA=3.525
    How would I calculate that?

  • Getting Dates using combo boxes

    I am trying to get a start date and an end date from a combo
    box. I have the following AS3 code but it doesn't work. startDay,
    startMonth etc are all comboboxes with appropriate data. Just can't
    figure the syntax to make it work.
    var start_date = new

    var end_date = new

    then i want to calculate and display the total days
    var nDiffDays = Math.floor((end_date - start_date)/86400000);
    totalDays_txt = nDiffDays;
    Any help appreciated.

    There are two of those controls: the drop down list and the combo box. Try the drop down list instead.

  • Combo box with multiple variables pre populating multiple fields and max value validation script help

    I am creating a pdf form that will be used as a calculator, and my javascript knowledge is pretty rudimentary. I can do the simple things, some of what I need to do is over my head.
    1. I believe I need to use a combo box to pre populate certain fields. I have 13 variables in the dropdown to choose from, and whatever the client chooses will pre populate three other fields (and each of the 13 variables will populate those three fields differently). I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing this. Is it custom keystroke script or does it require a document script? Also, I'm guessing that whatever script will be a series of if/then statements, correct?
    2. Once all the fields have been populated (be it pre population or filled in by the customer), I need to calculate the answer which is not my main problem—I already have the proper calculations in place and they work. The problem is that the answer has a maximum value even if the actual value goes over that max number. So, the actual answer is 14 but the max value can only be 12. How do I get the calculation to replace that actual number (14) with the max number (12)? Is that in the validation tab or should that go elsewhere?
    I feel like I know just enough to be dangerous but not terribly effective. Any help is appreciated.  
    Thanks!

    1. There is a tutorial on this here:
    http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field
    2. To set the maximum value to 12, try this as the custom calculation script for the field:
    //Custom calculation script
    //Get value of text field
    var a = this.getField("Text1").value;
    //If it is > 12, then make it 12
    if (a > 12){
    a=12
    event.value = a
    You need to replace "Text1" with the name of the field in your form.

  • Combo Box Choice Calculation

    I have 3 fields. 
    Field 1 is a combo box that provides the choice BZ7 or BZS.
    Field 2 is a text box (Monthly Gross) that calculates another boxes "Base Salary" * 26 pay periods for BZ7.  I want it to be set up so that If i choose BZS that calculation will change to 24 pay periods and for BZ7 the 26.

    You can set these numbers as the Export Values for each of the options in the combo-box, and then simply use the built in Product calculation option to multiply the value of the combo-box with the "Base Salary" text field.

    for example ---
    combo box has name of the city. when i will select a city
    the details of the city should populate in the datatable. and if i will select another city then the datatable should change accordingly..

    thanks in advance

    i am using Rational Application Developer to develop my application.
    i am using a combo box and i am assigning cityName from the SDO.
    and i am declaring a variable in the pageCode eg.
    private String cityName;
    public void setCityName(String cityName){
    this.cityName = cityName;
    public String getCityName(){
    return cityName;
    <h:selectOneMenu id="menu1" styleClass="selectOneMenu" value="#{pc_Test1.loginID}" valueChangeListener="#{pc_Test1.handleMenu1ValueChange}">

    it is possible that i may not clear at this point.
    please send me the way how my problem can be solved.

  • How to Bind a Combo Box so that it retrieves and display content corresponding to the Id in a link table and populates itself with the data in the main table?

    I am developing a desktop application in Wpf using MVVM and Entity Frameworks. I have the following tables:
    1. Party (PartyId, Name)
    2. Case (CaseId, CaseNo)
    3. Petitioner (CaseId, PartyId) ............. Link Table
    I am completely new to .Net and to begin with I download Microsoft's sample application and
    following the pattern I have been successful in creating several tabs. The problem started only when I wanted to implement many-to-many relationship. The sample application has not covered the scenario where there can be a any-to-many relationship. However
    with the help of MSDN forum I came to know about a link table and managed to solve entity framework issues pertaining to many-to-many relationship. Here is the screenshot of my application to show you what I have achieved so far.
    And now the problem I want the forum to address is how to bind a combo box so that it retrieves Party.Name for the corresponding PartyId in the Link Table and also I want to populate it with Party.Name so that
    users can choose one from the dropdown list to add or edit the petitioner.

    Hello Barry,
    Thanks a lot for responding to my query. As I am completely new to .Net and following the pattern of Microsoft's Employee Tracker sample it seems difficult to clearly understand the concept and implement it in a scenario which is different than what is in
    the sample available at the link you supplied.
    To get the idea of the thing here is my code behind of a view vBoxPetitioner:
    <UserControl x:Class="CCIS.View.Case.vBoxPetitioner"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:v="clr-namespace:CCIS.View.Case"
    xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:CCIS.ViewModel.Case"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    d:DesignWidth="300"
    d:DesignHeight="200">
    <UserControl.Resources>
    <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type vm:vmPetitioner}">
    <v:vPetitioner Margin="0,2,0,0" />
    </DataTemplate>
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid>
    <HeaderedContentControl>
    <HeaderedContentControl.Header>
    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
    <TextBlock Margin="2">
    <Hyperlink Command="{Binding Path=AddPetitionerCommand}">Add Petitioner</Hyperlink>
    | <Hyperlink Command="{Binding Path=DeletePetitionerCommand}">Delete</Hyperlink>
    </TextBlock>
    </StackPanel>
    </HeaderedContentControl.Header>
    <ListBox BorderThickness="0" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=CurrentPetitioner, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=tblParties}" />
    </HeaderedContentControl>
    </Grid>
    </UserControl>
    This part is working fine as it loads another view that is vPetioner perfectly in the manner I want it to be.
    Here is the code of vmPetitioner, a ViewModel:
    Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
    Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
    Imports System
    Imports CCIS.Model.Party
    Namespace CCIS.ViewModel.Case
    ''' <summary>
    ''' ViewModel of an individual Email
    ''' </summary>
    Public Class vmPetitioner
    Inherits vmParty
    ''' <summary>
    ''' The Email object backing this ViewModel
    ''' </summary>
    Private petitioner As tblParty
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Initializes a new instance of the EmailViewModel class.
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="detail">The underlying Email this ViewModel is to be based on</param>
    Public Sub New(ByVal detail As tblParty)
    If detail Is Nothing Then
    Throw New ArgumentNullException("detail")
    End If
    Me.petitioner = detail
    End Sub
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Gets the underlying Email this ViewModel is based on
    ''' </summary>
    Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Model() As tblParty
    Get
    Return Me.petitioner
    End Get
    End Property
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Gets or sets the actual email address
    ''' </summary>
    Public Property fldPartyId() As String
    Get
    Return Me.petitioner.fldPartyId
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
    Me.petitioner.fldPartyId = value
    Me.OnPropertyChanged("fldPartyId")
    End Set
    End Property
    End Class
    End Namespace
    And below is the ViewMode vmParty which vmPetitioner Inherits:
    Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
    Imports System
    Imports System.Collections.Generic
    Imports CCIS.Model.Case
    Imports CCIS.Model.Party
    Imports CCIS.ViewModel.Helpers
    Namespace CCIS.ViewModel.Case
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Common functionality for ViewModels of an individual ContactDetail
    ''' </summary>
    Public MustInherit Class vmParty
    Inherits ViewModelBase
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Gets the underlying ContactDetail this ViewModel is based on
    ''' </summary>
    Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property Model() As tblParty
    '''' <summary>
    '''' Gets the underlying ContactDetail this ViewModel is based on
    '''' </summary>
    'Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property Model() As tblAdvocate
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Gets or sets the name of this department
    ''' </summary>
    Public Property fldName() As String
    Get
    Return Me.Model.fldName
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
    Me.Model.fldName = value
    Me.OnPropertyChanged("fldName")
    End Set
    End Property
    ''' <summary>
    ''' Constructs a view model to represent the supplied ContactDetail
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <param name="detail">The detail to build a ViewModel for</param>
    ''' <returns>The constructed ViewModel, null if one can't be built</returns>
    Public Shared Function BuildViewModel(ByVal detail As tblParty) As vmParty
    If detail Is Nothing Then
    Throw New ArgumentNullException("detail")
    End If
    Dim e As tblParty = TryCast(detail, tblParty)
    If e IsNot Nothing Then
    Return New vmPetitioner(e)
    End If
    Return Nothing
    End Function
    End Class
    End Namespace
    And final the code behind of the view vPetitioner:
    <UserControl x:Class="CCIS.View.Case.vPetitioner"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:CCIS.ViewModel.Case"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    Width="300">
    <UserControl.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary Source=".\CompactFormStyles.xaml" />
    </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid>
    <Border Style="{StaticResource DetailBorder}">
    <Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Petitioner:" />
    <ComboBox Grid.Column="1" Width="240" SelectedValuePath="." SelectedItem="{Binding Path=tblParty}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PetitionerLookup}" DisplayMemberPath="fldName" />
    </Grid>
    </Border>
    </Grid>
    </UserControl>
    The problem, presumably, seems to be is that the binding path "PetitionerLookup" of the ItemSource of the Combo box in the view vPetitioner exists in a different ViewModel vmCase which serves as an ObservableCollection for MainViewModel. Therefore,
    what I need to Know is how to route the binding path if it exists in a different ViewModel?
    Sir, I look forward to your early reply bringing a workable solution to the problem I face. 
    Warm Regards,
