FileChooser - "switch off" file name field and file type drop down choice..

Hi there,
I'm wondering, is there a simple way of not displaying the file name field and file type drop down choice that anyone knows of?
Reason being; my FileChooser is embedded in an application window and does not pop up as a dialog - the users are only acessing one file type, but it could be in any folder on their machine.
many thanks,
Fergus.

How do i populate one field based upon a drop down select from another field?

Here is what I am trying to do:
Field 1 is a drop down selection list that requires a user to make a mandatory selection which in this case is a list of apartment complexes. What I am trying to accomplish is once that user makes a selection from the drop down list (Field1) that it will populate Field 2 (standard txt) with the corresponding apartment complexes address.
So I pick Talan Apartments from field 1, it would populate field 2 with Talan Apartments address. I tried messing around with calculation scripts but I'm fighting a loosing battle here. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Here is a sample: https://acrobat.com/#d=Hi0ZwVgVB1PWbxc6OJ0z4A where the script in the exit event of the dropdown sets the value of the address object.
Good luck,
Niall

Inactive field "Project Versions' - from drop down

Hi Friends
I have created two versions of project through Tcode CN41. When I am looking for comparision, the field Project Versions from drop down is Inactive ie Edit >Comparisations > Project Versions. I am sure that I am missing somethig but unable to detect the same to activate Project Versions.
Would appreciate any one can help me to find out how to get activation of Project Version from drop down.Reward points can be awarded for suitable solution.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhakar,
I guess you are referring to project versions, not CO versions...
In this case, please make sure you select at least one version and the current data in the selection screen or more than one versions in the selection screen.
You need to select the versions in the selection screen in order to compare them.
If you cannot find the relevant fields to enter the selected version in the selection
screen, please call the database profile and tick the flag on "version data".
Hope this helps!!!

How do i import excel data base into pdf form drop down field

Hi,
I have a table of about 2500 rows and three columns that i would like to import into a drop down window on a PDF form to be self populated when item selected rather than entering the data. How can this be done?
Thanks!
Richard

Hi,
I did not know only two entries for each option item is it. I have manually entered data in the drop down an list boxes. With 2500 lines of data I was hoping there was an easier way other than manually entering the data.
I have no knowledge of Java Scripting.....
I was just wondering if there was a way from an Excel spreadsheet to import that data into a PDF form to be selectable to populate PDF fields in a form. It doesn't sound like it.
Thanks......

HCM Processes & Forms: Field not updating after Drop Down list selection

Hello all,
I am having a problem that I think happens a lot, but I can't solve it through all the examples given here.
I have a Drop Down List where I change the value. On the CHANGE event, I have:
xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.value = "GET_ORGINFO";
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
I have defined a User Event called GET_ORGINFO. It gets triggered fine. It moves into my generic service that I defined, and it changes the value that I want to change.
When I look at the PDF, the value is still in it's old value. So, after reading some blogs, which specifically says, if something goes wrong in one service (I have 3: my own, SAP_PA and S_MGRS_POSITIONS), they all fail. I debugged and checked, and, after some changes, nothing goes wrong anymore, nothing that I can see anyway.
So what I do see, is that there's a call made like this:
CALL METHOD me->process_data_container
    EXPORTING
      ref_to_data_container = ref_to_relevant_data_container
      operation             = c_do_operations
      message_handler       = dummy_message_handler
      no_auth_check         = no_auth_check
    IMPORTING
      is_ok                 = operation_ok.
Within this method, my new value is listed (in the table VALUES_OF_FIELDS). After this call is made, so when it exists the method process_data_container, the old values are back in VALUES_OF_FIELDS.
So, at the last moment INSIDE the method, the values are correct, as soon as it steps out of this method, the old values are back.
Does anyone have any idea? Am I doing something wrong with regards to the User Events? I am on EnhP 04.
Gr,
Jaron Frenk

Hey Chris,
Unfortunately, that's not it. I did check the fields I need. Everything is going ok. As in, I get the fields (with their current values) in my own generic operation. I see everything updated the way it should. But then at the end, nothing happens...
What exactly do you mean by " then make sure your own generic service has it's input/output defined correctly". What input/output do you mean? I assume the generic service itself is okay, since it works with the user event "USER_EVENT_CHECK". And it sure is possible I am forgetting something in the definition of the user event, but I can't figure out what.
A small addition*
I just checked by user event. I have 3 fields selected:
I0001_PERSG
I0001_PERSG_TXT
I0001_PERSK
The generic service should get the PERSG and PERSG_TXT based on the PERSK that is entered. I don't think I need anything more.
Gr,
Jaron

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7
Cheers

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Populate a field based on a drop down or multiple choice

Would it be possible to add a feature that allows users to populate a field based on the value of another field?
I'm trying to setup a form where a technician selects their name from a drop down list, and then have the form populate their e-mail address based on their name. I would prefer to avoid forcing them to type in their e-mail address every single time so that they can get a copy of their form responses when they submit a form.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. You can vote fo the calculations feature using this form:

Lookup field not rendering like drop down in New Item form

Hi
I have been making a page to add new item to a list, for this i am using new item form.
I am having a two lookup fields in that list of which one contains more than 20 items and other only 3.
My first problem is that first lookup renders as a text box ONLY in IE 9 mode(nothing appears even when you click on the down arrow), but when I change the mode to IE 8, the rendering changes to a textbox + ajax + filtering list instead of the simple drop
down list control.
BUT FIREFOX AND OTHER BROWSERS RENDER PROPERLY AS A SIMPLE DROPDOWN.
I have read several blogs about this, but could'nt find a simple solution.
Anyone has any idea on this?
thanks!

We had the same issue in our environment and we made use of jQuery to resolve the issue. The idea has been taken from SPServices.codeplex as mentioned by Christophe, but extends it in a way with few changes to make it work in our environment for each instance
of this drop-down in the entire web application.
$("input[class='ms-lookuptypeintextbox']").each(function
columnName = $(
this).attr('title');
OverrideDropDownList(columnName);
// Main Function
function OverrideDropDownList(columnName) {
// Construct a drop down list object
var lookupDDL =
new DropDownList(columnName);
// Do this only in complex mode...
if (lookupDDL.Type ==
"C") {
// Hide the text box and drop down arrow
lookupDDL.Obj.css(
'display',
'none');
lookupDDL.Obj.next(
"img").css('display',
'none');
// Construct the simple drop down field with change trigger
var tempDDLName =
"_" + columnName;
if (lookupDDL.Obj.parent().find("select[ID='"
+ tempDDLName + "']").length == 0) {
lookupDDL.Obj.parent().append(
"<select name='" + tempDDLName +
"' id='" + tempDDLName +
"' title='" + tempDDLName +
"'></select>");
lookupDDL.Obj.parent().find(
"select[ID='" + tempDDLName +
"']").bind("change",
function () {

Code problem - field value derived from drop down values

I have a drop down with about 6 choices. The user can enter their own amount for "quantity" in the drop down if they don't want to use one of the 6 choices. The code below I've attached to another field on another page of the form. (1) I can enter my own value it displays fine. (2) If I pick the #6 option on the drop down, it displays "3000" as required. The other 5 choices however, display 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 instead of the actual value - "100", "500" etc....
Seems to work for one of the 6 choices, but none of the rest.....
if (form1.orderPage1.stdLayout.quantity.rawValue == "1") {
this.rawValue = "1000";
if (form1.orderPage1.stdLayout.quantity.rawValue == "2") {
this.rawValue = "500";
if (form1.orderPage1.stdLayout.quantity.rawValue == "3") {
this.rawValue = "250";
if (form1.orderPage1.stdLayout.quantity.rawValue == "4") {
this.rawValue = "2000";
if (form1.orderPage1.stdLayout.quantity.rawValue == "5") {
this.rawValue = "2500";
if (form1.orderPage1.stdLayout.quantity.rawValue == "6") {
this.rawValue = "3000";
}else{
this.rawValue = form1.orderPage1.stdLayout.quantity.rawValue;
Need to learn more about "else" in Adobe JS....
As always, any help is greatly appreciated!
Mike Foster

Have you read your code? If your quantity value is between "1" and "5" the result value is being set correctly; then for the test for a value of "6", since your quantity value is not "6" you setting the value to the quantity value. Modify your original code to print some flow information to the JavaScirpt console and you see what is happening, be sure to open Acrobat to see the results in the JavaScript console:
/* original code */
console.show();
console.clear();
console.println("Original");
if (quantity.rawValue == "1") {
console.println(1);
this.rawValue = 1000;
if (quantity.rawValue == "2") {
console.println(2);
this.rawValue = 500;
if (quantity.rawValue == "3") {
console.println(3);
this.rawValue = 250;
if (quantity.rawValue == "4") {
console.println(4);
this.rawValue = 2000;
if (quantity.rawValue == "5") {
console.println(5);
this.rawValue = 2500;
if (quantity.rawValue == "6") {
console.println(6);
this.rawValue = 3000;
} else { // since quantity != "6" do this
console.println("Other");
this.rawValue = quantity.rawValue;
There are many ways to solve your problem. First you can nest the "if" statements, so the "else" clause is applies to all the previous "if" statements:
/* using nested if statements */
console.show();
console.clear();
console.println("Nested if then else");
if (quantity.rawValue == "1") {
console.println("1");
this.rawValue = 1000;
} else {
if (quantity.rawValue == "2") {
console.println("2");
this.rawValue = 500;
} else {
if (quantity.rawValue == "3") {
console.println("3");
this.rawValue = 250;
else {
if (quantity.rawValue == "4") {
console.println("4");
this.rawValue = 2000;
} else {
if (quantity.rawValue == "5") {
console.println("5");
this.rawValue = 2500;
} else {
if (quantity.rawValue == "6") {
console.println("6");
this.rawValue = 3000;
} else { // if none of the above
console.println("Other");
this.rawValue = quantity.rawValue;
Next you could not use an else statement at all, just do a final test for any values outside the range of "1" - "6".
/* quantity not in range */
console.show();
console.clear();
console.println("if quantity < 1 or > 6");
this.rawValue = null; // empty result field
if (quantity.rawValue == "1") {
console.println("1");
this.rawValue = 1000;
if (quantity.rawValue == "2") {
console.println("2");
this.rawValue = 500;
if (quantity.rawValue == "3") {
console.println("3");
this.rawValue = 250;
if (quantity.rawValue == "4") {
console.println("4");
this.rawValue = 2000;
if (quantity.rawValue == "5") {
console.println("5");
this.rawValue = 2500;
if (quantity.rawValue == "6") {
console.println("6");
this.rawValue = 3000;
if (quantity.rawValue < 1| quantity.rawValue > 6) { // if quantity value not between 1 and 6
console.println("Other");
this.rawValue = quantity.rawValue
And finally, you can use the "switch" statement to select an action based on the value of the quantity value and ignore the rest of the test. If no test has been selected, then perform the default action.
/* using switch on quantity value statement */
console.show();
console.clear();
switch (quantity.rawValue) {
case "1":
console.println("1");
this.rawValue = 1000;
break;
case "2":
console.println("2");
this.rawValue = 500;
break;
case "3":
console.println("3");
this.rawValue = 250;
break;
case "4":
console.println("4");
this.rawValue = 2000;
break;
case "5":
console.println("5");
this.rawValue = 2500;
break;
case "6":
console.println("6");
this.rawValue = 3000;
break;
default: // all other values
console.println("Other");
this.rawValue = quantity.rawValue
break;
} // end switch quantity

Standard field label change and drop down

Hello,
I need to change a text field label and create a drop down for a input down field. The problem is that they are standard fields in sap. I am not sure if by code i can do this change. Because I tried doing the change through cmod to change the field text and append for the drop down in the domain, but for some reason it did not work. Any help would greatly appreciated.

What is the program?
You can change the field text in CMOD but you cannot do a dropdown in CMOD.
Dropdown is for the screen element and you need to change the screen for this and need to populate the field. Find if there is any user exit for your requirement.

Table TZC37 field STATU search help drop down is not pulling any values?

And also I checked in the configuration, this field has values in the config also. But still the search drop down is not getting any values.
Can any one knows what could be the reason and how to solve this issue?
I am using this field in transaction FNVS when searching loan number based on Status field.
Thanks for your time.

Populating Text Fields from XML Based Drop Down

Hello,
I'm new to the Adobe Livecycle I have been challenged to make a PDF form that pulls information from an XML file.
I have been able to get the from to read the XML file and I have successfully created a dynamic pull down, but what I am having a problem with is that when an item is selected in the dropdown I want it to pull other information stored in the XML file.
<user>
<csrName>MyName</csrName>
<csrExt>123</csrExt>
<csrFax>123-123-1234</csrFax>
</user>
<user>
<csrName>MyName</csrName>
<csrExt>321</csrExt>
<csrFax>999-234-1322</csrFax>
</user>
My pulldown reads each csrName and I can select whom I want, but how do I get <csrExt> and <csrFax> to pull over for the correct <csrName>? I figured it needs to be done by some code during the "Change Event" but I have not figured out what code is needed.
Any help is greatly appreciated, if anymore information is needed just let me know and I'll share what I got.
Thanks
Derrick

Thanks for the reply.
Right now I'm starting with a blank form and once I get my head wrapped around this then I was going to modify what is already in use.
I'm attaching my scheme and xml file.

Automatic LOV refresh Dept drop down on EMP table

I have a editable DEPT table and editable EMP table on the same page. Each table have their own corresponding insert and delete buttons. There is a common commit and rollback button for the both tables.
In my EMP VO I have a view accessor linked to the DEPT VO . The dept column in the EMP table on the page has a drop down list. I'm trying to get the LOV drop down to refresh on the EMP table after an insert/delete and subsequent commit on the DEPT table. Has any body had the same requirement ? I tried the partial triggers between the commit button and the LOV on the EMP table and no luck ! :-(
thanks in advance

Just discovered that the my LOV was pointing to the wrong VO. I had 2 VO for the DEPT table. Re-pointed the LOV to the same VO as the DEPT on the corresponding page. it's all solved !
