Can related topics in FM be autoconverted into drop-downs in RH?

I remember four score and several millenia ago when I was
using WebWorks and FrameMaker, I was able to map a FrameMaker
paragraph style called RelatedTopics to a WebWorks style of the
same name, and in the Web output a drop-down related topics list
was created automatically. I haven't seen anything like that in
RoboHelp--it is probably possible in RoboHelp but I suspect I would
have to do that on the RoboHelp side, which would be another swift
kick to my single-sourcing process. Father forgive me for I have
whinged yet again about RH...Waiting for absolution people and
answers of course!
Best,
Peter

I asked about this some time ago (to find the message, search
for "Related Topics"), and the answer seemed to be "No." So I got
Mif2Go and wrote a script to simulate the old Webworks behaviour.

Related Issue column in tracking list gets changed into drop down list in Infopath

Hi All,
i have created Tracking list in sharepoint 2010. which has column[Related issue - lookup for field in list[title] by default.
this field will have a multiple selection check box,2 buttons [Add and remove] and text box[which show the items selected in check box].
my issue is ,when i try to modify my list in Infopath. this column[Related issue] gets changed into drop down list item.Is is possible to get the same [old format] back. if so pls guide me..
I faced the same in Radio button,but i restored it by changing it into option button in Infopath

Hi ,
The
multiple-selection list box control should be by design in InfoPath form, which is corresponding to the SharePoint "Related Issues" field, in my opinion, it cannot be converted to [old format] in InfoPath form, you may need to use SharePoint Designer 2010
to customize your Issue Tracking list NewForm.aspx/EditForm.aspx per the way in the following article, then "Related Issues" field will still be the old format,

I am creating a template with drop down menus in Numbers. I want to be able to insert options into the middle of my list at a later date if I need to, but I can only insert at the end of the drop down list. Is there a different program I could be using?

I need to be able to add in more options into my drop down list in Numbers at a later time, not only at the bottom but say in the middle of the list. Should I be using a different program that can allow this to work? Thank you!

This forum thread appears to point towards the problem.

How can i redirect 5 choice options from a drop down list into 5 separate text fields?

I have a number of drop down lists which push one of 5 choices to a text field on another page.
I want to be able to push each choice from one drop down field to a separate field, so that it is not possible to duplicate the drop down choice.
The resulting page is going to be locked.
What script do I need to use to send each of the five choices specifically to five separate text fields?
Thanks for the insight.

Hi Paul,
I've had a look at the sample script you posted. I'm not sure how to make it work with the form I'm creating. (I sent it to you earlier.) Would you mind setting one of the fields up on my form so that I can get an idea of how to then push the choices set up on the "visible on screen only" to the textfields which are locked on the visible page? Do i lock the fields in the same way?
Will I need to create a new script for each of the arrays I'll be creating? for example, myScript1, myScript2, my Script3....
Why do i need a reset button?

How can I put JTree into drop-down List of JCombobox

I want to create a drop-down list which shows a list of nodes. When the user clicks on a node, it should open to show the leafs. Clicking on a leaf should close the ComboboxPopup and show its value. Creating a renderer only represent my tree, but I can't trap the events.
Here is my simplified code.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.JTree;
import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ComboBoxTreeDemo extends JPanel
     static JFrame frame;
     ComboBoxRenderer renderer;
     JTree tree;
     public ComboBoxTreeDemo()
          setLayout(new BoxLayout(this, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
          DefaultMutableTreeNode root = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("top");
          DefaultMutableTreeNode sub1 = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("sub1");
          DefaultMutableTreeNode sub2 = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("sub2");
          root.add(sub1);
          root.add(sub2);
          tree = new JTree(root);
          String[] string = {"1" };
          JComboBox jcb = new JComboBox(string);
          renderer = new ComboBoxRenderer(this);
          jcb.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,22));
          jcb.setEditable(true);
          jcb.setRenderer(renderer);
          JPanel jpa = new JPanel();
          jpa.setLayout(new BoxLayout(jpa, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
          jpa.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
          jpa.add(jcb);
          add(jpa);
          setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
     private static void createAndShowGUI()
          JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("ComboBoxTreeDemo");
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          JComponent newContentPane = new ComboBoxTreeDemo();
          newContentPane.setOpaque(true);
          frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);

               this.cbt = cbt;
               setLayout(new BorderLayout());
               add(cbt.tree);

               return this;
     public static void main(String[] args)
          javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
               public void run()
                    createAndShowGUI();
}

Thank you for the excellent reference Peddi. I had played with the OAMessageChoiceBean component yesterday, but I was able to tell from your instructions that "Picklist Display Attribute" and "Picklist Value Attribute" really are not for binding to the database EO. That was the key piece of information that had me confused.
In addition to adding the messageChoice component to the page, I needed to write some code to synchronize the picklist value with the corresponding code value, which I placed in am OAFormValueBean (hidden form field) which I could then bind to my application's database EO in the controller, running in the processFormRequest procedure:
/** Synchronize the catalog code with the selected catalog name */
protected void syncCatalogValues(OAPageContext pageContext,
OAWebBean webBean, MyApplicationAMImpl am) {
OAMessageChoiceBean mcb =
(OAMessageChoiceBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogName");
OAFormValueBean cc =
(OAFormValueBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogCode");
String catalogDescription = mcb.getText(pageContext);
if (catalogDescription != null) {
String catalogCode = am.getCatalogCode(catalogDescription);
cc.setValue(pageContext, catalogCode);
Along with a little code to get the catalogCode value from the LOVVO, that's all it took.
Thanks again. This was a great help.

How can i select more than one song from drop down search bar

sometimes to make a playlist i will search my music library for a word & then add all the songs with that word in the title
the drop down search bar will not allow me to select more than one song
or
will it? & i just can't suss out how... maybe you know?
if so, please tell me~!!!
thank you

hey i tried that before i posted this question... i tried all of the normal ways one would use to select more than one item...
any click of any kind at all takes you out of the search drop down & into the main itunes window... where you are deposited back into the songs alphabetically... no longer are you seeing the results of the search...
sigh
at the risk of sounding like one of those people, the "old" itunes did not have this problem...
grrrr... it seems to be that pesky drop down menu~ if only you could see the search results in the main list as opposed to only in the drop down thing

How to import excel list into drop down menu in acrobat pro DC

Does anyone know if an excel list of 527 items can be imported into a drop down menu in adobe acrobat DC? I am on a mac v10.10.

I would convert the Excel worksheet into a tab delimited file. Edit that file in a text editor, not Word, into a list that meets the formatting for the array for the setItems. method. Then add the code to use that array to set the items for the drop down field. So you have something like:
var MyItems = new Array("One", "Two", "Three");
this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(MyItems);
You can then cut and paste this into the JavaScript console, highlight text and execute the text. Or cut and paste the code into a document level JavaScript.

How do I allow users to enter text into drop down menu

I have created a form with a drop down menu but I want users to be able to enter thier own text into the field if they do not see the option they want.

It sounds like you're creating the form in FormsCentral. This isn't an option in FormsCentral, but if you save the form as PDF you can edit the field in Acrobat and you'll see the option that Bernd mentioned. In order to edit the form in Acrobat, you have to removed the usage rights by opening the PDF in Acrobat and selecting: File > Save A Copy
and then open the copy.

Importing Value/Text into drop down menu Binding tab

I did this before and I can't for the life of me remember how I did it. I need to be able to replace the text in the Value and Text areas (as shown below) with updated text. I don't think I did it using Data binding. Seems like I was able to use either an .xml or .csv file and copy and paste it and I got the result I needed.
I am splitting the Value among multiple fields. I know this was not entered manually as there are about 5000 entries. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Gary

If the Clip board has copied one column(ex: excel sheet) it will copy all the rows as values "Text" of the drop down ONLY.
If the Clip board has copied 2 columns the first column goes in to "Text" and the second column goes into"Value". By default the it will be checked the "Specify item values" check box too.
All you need here is:
1.format text and values in to 2 separate columns to populate the dropdown. (can use excel features to generate the spreadsheet. This step output should be in 2 columns only to go in to text and values of DD).
2. place a dropdown field (no properties changes required on any TAB(ex: binding))
3. copy the 2 columns from the spreadsheet and paste it using the "paste from clipboard" under "Field" tab
4. now check the binding tab, should be there both values and text for all the entries provided by spread sheet.
Hope this helps, If i understand incorrectly please ignore this.

Importing or copying Excel list into drop down list

Can anyone help me with this?? I have a list of 115 departments that I would like to populate the drop down box in an acrobat pdf form and dont have the time to enter them one by one.. Is it possible to either import this list or do a copy and paste?? Please help.. Thanks so much!!

Here's a link to a very simple PDF that demonstrates how you can populate a combo box (aka drop down) with a list of items that can be pasted into a text field, after copying them from Excel (or some other source): https://acrobat.com/#d=sIJoabh12oYOY19AuTZ9yw
The idea is that once the drop-down is populated after clicking the "Populate combo box" button, you can copy & paste the field to your form. Be sure to check for duplicates and blank lines.

I don't see the new "firefox button" and i can't see the bookmark button (with the drop down option) unless I'm in the customize toolbar view. How can I fix these?

I am using Firefox 4.0 on Windows XP home, Service pack 3. I am trying to use some of the new features of Firefox 4.0 that I see on the Firefox feature page (http://mzl.la/gCFDjj) and am not having much luck. First off in the Firefox Button. It is supposed to contain all your menu items but it is not appearing on my screen. Is this a feature that only works in Vista or Windows 7?
Second, I am trying to use the Bookmarks Button (the one that has the drop down menu) but it doesn't appear in my toolbar unless I right click the tool bar and choose "customize". The button shows up in this view already in the toolbar, as if it is hidden in normal use and no matter where I move it to, once I hit the "done" button in the customize window the Bookmarks Button gets hidden/covered up again.
Third, I see the new "App Tabs" feature but I can't seem to find an option for this in the preferences for Firefox, if it's even supported by my browser/OS at all.
Can anyone tell me how to use/activate these features or if I am even able to using Windows XP?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

How can I organize data by name in a drop down menu?

I created a spread sheet with several drop down menus. The problem I am having is how to organize my data by name. Every new entry is at the bottom of the drop down and can't be moved to a different location. This gets very confusing as I add more names to the drop down cell. In this case my entries consist of Chemical names that make it very hard to recognize or to locate once I open the drop down menu. Any suggestions?

Hello
Some times ago I've written a set of AppleScript scripts to manipulate popup menu items in Numbers 09. You may try the Script 3 (sort popup items.applescript) for instance in the following thread.

How can I restore my bookmarks, and the Firefox drop-down in the top left?

I cannot use Firefox as I always used to.
It has lost all of my Bookmarks Bar, so I cannot go to, for example, my email link.
It goes straight to a full screen display of my (Google) homepage and won't let me see the old Firefox drop-down in the top left corner.
How can I get any Firefox help?
I can just about survive using Internet Explorer - is that what Mozilla want?
oh, it's back now. what happened?

Hello,
you can easily move the Bookmark icon to left using the Customize feature from the Menu [[Image:New Fx menu]] button on the Right top corner.

Loading values into drop down through properties file.

Hi all,
Can any one please let me know how to read a drop down through properties file I have two drop downs. I need to read the drop down values through the properties file .
I would appreciate if you can provide me with the sample code to do this(i mean similar kind of operation)
Say for example
if i have in the properties file
months.properties
Month = "january,february,march.....december"
january = "monday,tuesday, wednesday"
for the first drop down i need to load the months i.e., january, february, march etc.
After selecting the first drop down say january, then it should show me monday,tuesday and wednesday in the second drop down.
I know it's a begineers question. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help

Actually i want to use Jstl tag for this
<select name="secQst1">
<c:forEach var="flaglistdetail" items="${flaglist}">
<option value="<c:out value="${flaglistdetail.seqId}"/>"><c:out value="${flaglistdetail.seqDesc}"/></option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
The above operation is for getting the drop down values for the database. I want to hard code the values in the properties file and read it in the action and want to get it through the select tag.
private Properties _appConfig;
private static final String APP_CONFIG_NAME = "AppConfigProperties.properties";
if (_appConfig == null) {
_appConfig = new Properties();
try {
appConfig.load(FileUtil.getFileAsStream(APPCONFIG_NAME));
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException("can not find "
+ APP_CONFIG_NAME, e);
I was trying to do the above thing. but for some reason i couldn't get it.
if you have any sample code which does the same thing like this would be helpful

Can I click on "bookmarks" and have the drop down menu display ONLY the file imported from Safari?

I am trying to achieve a one click drop down menu without side selection for "Safari". Possibly I need to drag bookmarks and folders from the "Safari" folder into the "unsupported " folder, but when I tried this it doubled everything I drug in.

I did find that I could move bookmarks and folders out of the "imported from Safari" folder onto the "unsorted bookmarks" folder. Removed the Safari folder and made sure the "bookmarks menu" was empty, and then closed show all bookmarks. Hoping that when I opened Bookmarks from the very top line of Apple menu items, the only list that would pop down would be the one that I just constructed in "unsorted bookmarks". But alas, what pops down is no visible bookmarks. You have to slide down to "unsorted" which pops open a window offset to the right with what I really want to see, the list of bookmarks that I assembled in Unsorted.

Can related topics in FM be autoconverted into drop-downs in RH?
