Changing Selection Color of Combo Box and Tree

The default color of the selection on Combobox when you click
on its items is "light green" how can I change this to some other
color?.. This might have been answered before but I couldnt find
any topic related to this.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi again,
hm ... set a "System.out.println("name of the panel");" before each call to the show-method, to see (on the console), if this if-statement-block is executed - perhaps the spelling of the string and the item don't match - that is case-sensitve - you can try to use .equalsIgnoreCase instead of .equals

Combo Box Selection to Change Selection in another Combo Box

I'm pretty familiar with excel and VBA, but when it comes to Adobe Acrobat, I am lost with Javascript.
I am creating a form.
My first field is a combo box named: Rent.booth
My second field is also a combo box named: County.booth
I need to know where and how I would implement a java command that states that if Rent.booth = Rent, then County.booth automatically = No.
If No is selected for Rent.booth, then allow the user to choose any of the 3 values.
Combo Box Options for Rent.booth:
Select One
Rent
No
Combo Box Options for County.booth:
Select One
Yes
No
Any leads would be appreciated. So far I've only seen the Combo Box to Text box solutions, nothing for Combo box to Combo Box.

You'll get the best help with Javascript in the Acrobat Scripting forum.

How do i change the color of text boxes and the texts that i enter in them?

I recently changed my system's color settings and now the text boxes in Firefox are dark grey. This is fine when the text happens to show up as white, but when it shows up as black, I can't read what I'm typing. (I'm not clear on what makes the difference. The box I'm typing this in now happens to be dark grey with white text.) I've tried playing around with settings within Firefox preferences and in my OS' (Kubuntu) system settings, and haven't yet been able to identify what settings exactly might change this specific aspect.

Two possible ways are available
Set the text with and html text string like "<html><font color-red>" + text + "</font></html>"
or get the cellrenderer, cast to the DefaultCellRenderer and call setForeground or background or implement or your own cellrenderer to do the custom coloring (this could maybe depend on indexes)

Value of two combo box is not persistent on change of a third combo box

Hi All:
I have flex page in which i have 3 combo boxes. I would be
selecting first 2 combo box and when i select the third combo box ,
i would get the value of previous two combo selection and display
data accordingly.
My problme here is when i do a change in 3rd combo box the
values of other combo boxed are defaulted to "Select..." without
maintaining my previous selection.
I am stuck in this for a while. I would really appreciate if
you can help me out in this.
Thanks

there's a typo. fix it or remove it:
var a:Number;
var b:Number;
function First(evt:Event):void{
    a = evt.target.value;
trace(a);
   compareF();
cbFirst.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, First);
function Second(evt:Event):void{
    b = evt.target.value;
    trace(b);
compareF()
cbSecond.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, Second);
function compareF(){
If (a > b){
     trace("a is greater")
else
     trace(b is greater);

Change Arrow Color of Combos and MenuBars

I have several combo boxes and a menubar with a dropdown at
the top of the page. The client wants the menu and the buttons to
be black and the "down" arrows on the combos to be white. Also, the
drop down menubar at the top has multiple choices within that have
black arrows that also need to be white.
I can't seem to find a property that would manipulate the
color of these arrows. I have also used the Flex Style Explorer and
nothing there seems to indicate how to do it either. Is this
possible?

From what I can gather looking at the source for the Flex components, this is not a style that is settable using a normal style property. However, there is a way to get at the button.
If you look at the code for a combo box, you'll see that it's based on the ComboBase class. Inside this class is where the button for the drop down really lives, an mx_internal variable called: downArrowButton:Button. To access it, you can create a class that subclasses the Combo Box class, (you might have to put a "using namespace mx_internal;" in the import section of your class), then access the button directly as:
mx_internal::downArrowButton
From there, you should be able to do whatever you want to with the button's style properties. I hope that helps!

While selecting value from combo box in one frame, based on the selection..

Hi friends,
can someone help me out on a issue as it follows:-
iam developing an application where Iam using xsl,html,javascript and xml.
There is no existense of Database at all. data is read from xml.
now,
In a window there are 3 frames. In the 1st frame combo box is there.
Based on the selection in the combo box data will be displayed in the 2nd frame.
now onchange or onselect methods not giving the expected result.
actually,in the the xsl which is having 3 frames,the 1st and 3rd frame
calling src="abc.xml" and src="abc.xml"which are static.
but in the 2nd frame the data need to be changed dynamically.
I have given frame name="frame_ExchangeDetails2" rows="3%" src="cc_marketWatch_02.xml"/>
usually data dynamically comes from database.but here i have to refer xml file
something like [window.href.location="abc.xml"]
but the problem is when you refer supose:-
<frame name="frame_ExchangeDetails2" rows="3%" src="cc_marketWatch_02.xml"/>
the frame is having static page,though there are functions in javascript which are called in onload and onchange.which are not working.
I have tried putting if condition like:-
if(document.abc.fieldname.value=='6'
{ window.location.href = "cc_custLookUpData-mobileno.xml";
so that it could go to the repective page.
but it is not working.
so what should i do if I select from combo box in one frame and based on the selection xml/html page will be displayed in the 2nd frame.
if anybody has google account i can forward the zip file so it will be easier to understand.
Regards

Problem with combo boxes and the reset button in certain situations

Hi Everyone,
i have a problem to make the reset-button function properly in an what-if analysis dashboard.
The dashboard uses two combo boxes that are not visible at the same time. In my application the second combo box only appears when a dedicated menu (label based menu button) has been activated.
So i have combo box 1 when menu A is active an dand combo box 2 when menu 2 is active.
After starting the dashboard initial values are fine. If you then directly change to menu 2 (seeing combo box 2 with
the correct default value) and press the reset button, the dashboard returns to the initial view, showing
the menu 1 with the correct default value. If you now switch back to menu 2, you will see, that the combo box 2
is empty (i.e. nothing selected).
I also tracked the destination cells for the combo box value results as well as the source cells for the "selected item" and the
destination cells for the "Insert Selected Item". All this values seem to be correct. Therefore i assume that
this is an issue of event handling. Maybe the combo box 2 does not refresh its selected value because it is already
invisible when the values are restored.
This case can easily be simulated by placing two combo boxes and a push button (that changes the visibility of
the combo boxes) and the reset button on the canvas.
Maybe someone can help. I am able to provide a test xlf, if neccessary.
Thanks,
Oliver
P.S. I am using Xcelsius SP4 (Version 5.4.0.0)

Hello Debjit_Singha_86,
thank you for your support. At the moment i have the following setting:
label based menu
- General: Insertion Type "value" from a list of ID's for the menu-items to a dedicated cell (current menu ID, say tab1!$A$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) fixted to item 1
hidden combo box
- General: Insertion Type "position" to a dedicated cell with the current choice (say tab1!$B$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) to the same cell (tab1!$B$1)
Can you give me a hint on how to connect the two components according to your solution, so that the label based menu sets the default for the hidden combox box only in case, that the reset button is pressed?
Thanks,
Oliver

Report error when using combo box and one text field is empty

I'm building an interactive pdf in adobe pro 9. My problem is the following: I have one text field where you can enter a numeric code and that is used to populate another text field when I choose an option on one combo box.For example: suppose I write the code 123 in the text field "A" and that the combo box has two options ("data" and "-"). When I select "-", another text field "B" is empty, while when I select "data" i populate the text field "B" using the code entered "A" with the text "data_123". In order to do this I use the standard javascript code in the Format>Custom tab of the combo-box.
My questions are:
- how can I prevent the pdf to proceed selecting an option in the combo box when the field "A" is empty?
- how can I update the field "B" every time that I change the text in "A"? I found that the text is "B" is updated only when I press the selection in the combo box.

You can set the combo box to read-only in the Validate event of the A field:
// Validate script for text field
getField("combo1").readonly = !event.value;
To update the value of B when A changes, you can expand the script above to something like:
// Validate script for text field
var f1 = getField("combo1");
var f2 = getField("B");
// If there is an entry in the A field...
if (event.value) {
    f1.readonly = false; // Make sure the combo box is activated
    f2.value = f1.value === "-" ? "" : "fa.value + event.value; // Update the value of field B
} else {
    f1.readonly = true; // Deactivate the combo box
    f2.value = f2.defaultValue; // Reset field B
You might also want to reset the combo box somewhere in there, but it's not clear to me when you would want to do that.

Embedded Fonts a Combo Box and complete madness

I have a combo box that has an array of fonts loaded into
them, not here is my problem. For some reason, when i select the
fonts in the array, some of them change and some of them dont. I
have created font symbols like instructed in the live docs, but i
dont get why they arent showing up..
i.e. I have 7 fonts loaded into this combo box and i can
select Arial Bold and my text field will show the text in arial
bold, but when i select hobo, i get some substitute!
here's my code, maybe you guys will see something i
haven't.. the fonts in particular i am having trouble with: Bookman
Old Style, BrushScript and Hobo.

there are many points/issues here. here are some:
1. Your array called fonts contains eight strings such as
'new Arial()', whereas i think what you were trying to achieve here
is to create references to the fonts in the library. to do this
remove the quotation marks.
2. To be able to create references to the fonts in the
library, ensure that the font symbols in the library contain class
names, with base classes of flash.text.Font. do this by selecting
'Linkage' on your library fonts.
3. Ensure that your text field is set to embed fonts - either
in authoring, or with actionscript
eg.outputTB1.embedFonts=true;
4. you set up fonts_array with eight font names and then in
your for loop, you again add eight fonts to this array. this is
redundant.
5. in the for loop you have the line: fonts_array.push(new
String(fonts[ i]));
this appears to be an attempt at converting a reference to a
font into a font name. this isn't going to work. if you had set up
references to fonts to begin with (see point 1), and this line
wasn't redundant (see point 4), you would extract the font name
like so: fonts_array.push(fonts[ i].fontName)
6. maintaining two arrays of fonts is unecessary. i would
recommend just maintain your fonts array with references to fonts,
and extract font names from these references. this would look
something like the code attached below.
7. One last thing - i notice that you have at least two of
your fonts - arial and arial bold, probably have different
formatting. if some are bold and some are not, you will need to
specify the bold property also. eg. font.bold=true

How do I make a pdf that can submit a form to the email selected in a combo box?

I'm trying to be able to have the user of a pdf I'm creating, select an email in a combo box and then hit send and have it send to that email address that was selected.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
I don't think (but may be wrong) that you can do that within InDesign. At the very least, you could draw the form within InDesign but I guess that the interactivity between the list selection and the mail action should be achieved with Acrobat Scripting or LiveCycle Designer if you have it.
FWIW,

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much - it works!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

Connecting selections in a combo box to specific information in an FDF file

Hi! I am trying to create a PDF with form fields that allow the user to select an option in a combo box and data for that selection is pulled into the document. The information is a description of the option and I am trying to create the combo box with multiple options, but there are very distinct descriptions for each selection. Does anyone have any guidance? I am not literate in terms of programming, and though I work with Adobe products all day, I haven't the slightest idea how to link an option to a specific set of data, or if it is even a possibility. I am working in Adobe Pro 9.

Can images be used as selections in a combo box in Acrobat 9 Pro?

Can images be used as selections in a combo box in Acrobat 9 Pro? I only see options for text choices when I look at the combo box properties. Basically, I want to click the drop-down and see images (small logos) from which to choose as opposed to text choices.
I'm grateful for any thoughts on this.

When i click button or type in input field its not happening.
Anyone have clue?. I tried this same page in TideSDK ( its not flickering there).
But i am gona go with AIR because of update feature but i need to get rid of flickering issue before i go any further.
Anyone here done HTML form in adobe air?
Please help. I am having headache all day on this issue.
Advanced Thanks .

I meant flickering means...when i open combobox and click focus is going out of air window as though combobox is in some another window. once click press mouse down...focus is in combo box but window loses focus and once releases mouse ..window back to focus. Kinda annoying effect when u try to click on combo box and select.
Tested with html scout sample app and load any webpage with combobox , window loses focus.
But any combobox made using EXT it do not flicker because ext handles focus event correctly.
My windows has set of combo box and user always select different value from combo box if keep losing focus and coming back its annoying as hell.

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?
