Combo box background

I have created a custom UI for my combo box but I have set its opaque property to false. The reason for this is that I have created my own arrow button image which requires transparancy between itself and the renderer. I need the listbox/label to have a white background but I have been unsuccessful in setting it as such. How can I have an translucent combo box yet have a white list/label?

Hi;
This isn't something FormsCentral supports.
Thanks,

Looping through an array to get the index for each measure in a combo box

Hi folks,
I am working on a web application that has two combo boxes, one for year (called yearcombo) and for measures (called myURL) for that selected year, and also two radiobuttons (in radioBtnGroup). I have two years and a bunch of measure for each year. I have a map tool tip that when you mouse over the county you see a measure for that specific year. However I have a bunch of measures for each year and I want to be able to loop through the measures (which are in an array collection inside a combobox) so my "if" expression can find every selectedIndex and bring me the tool tip for that selected measure for that selected radio button. Right now I would have to create if statements for each measure (each selectedIndex inside the myURL combobox)and each radiobutton (inside the radioBtnGroup) instead of creating a if expression to get a map tip tool for each measure. I know I would have to create a loop to search for these indexes and enter that in the if expression and also change the graphic.attributes to reflect the right measure or index selected. Do you API for Flex wizards can give me any tips on how to code this according to my code below ? Any help is greatly appreciated! (the print scree is attached)
Below is the code snippet:
if (yearcombo.selectedItem.year == "2007" && myURL.selectedIndex == 0 && radioBtnGroup.selectedValue == 0)
fLayer.definitionExpression = "DATA_YEAR_TXT like '2007'"
var graphic:Graphic = Graphic(event.currentTarget);
graphic.symbol = mouseOverSymbol;
var htmlText:String = graphic.attributes.htmlText;
var textArea:TextArea = new TextArea();
try{
textArea.htmlText = myURL.selectedItem.label + graphic.attributes.ForDirIndOut.toString()
myMap.infoWindow.content=textArea
myMap.infoWindow.label = graphic.attributes.NAME;
myMap.infoWindow.closeButtonVisible = false;
myMap.infoWindow.show(myMap.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY));}
catch(error:Error) {
trace("Caught Error: "+error);
And below is the combo boxes with the arrays

<mx:ComboBox   id="yearcombo" selectedIndex="0" labelField="label" width="100%" change="changeEvt(event)" >

Multiple lines in a combo box

Hello,
I am attempting to create a pdf file for the purposes of filling in information and then printing it out. I have very limited skill with Acrobat 8, basically what I've learned myself, and I run into an issue with my combo boxes. Some of the sentences I have put into the boxes are too long and I have not been able to figure out how to wrap the text, or make it use multiple lines. I need all of my data to show. Can someone explain, in simple terms if possible, how this can be accomplished, or provide an alternative. I have read several posts but have not been able to work out where to start with them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've been reading through more forums and I think what you suggested was to have shorter options in the combo box that, when selected, generate the full length sentence into a text field. Is that the basic concept? Here is one of the sentences that is too large for my combo box:
5b. Use Mendel's Law to evaluate monohybrid Punnett Squares for complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked, and multiple alleles. (DOK 2)
So I could set up a combo box with 5b in this case. I could then write script in the combo box properties that would cause the sentence to be generated into a text field located beside the combo box. If this is the case I would have to write out script for each one of the number/letter combinations correct?
Just for some background info, I'm attempting to create a lesson plan template (I'm a teacher) that has all the necessary information listed so that I don't have to type it all out every time I do a lesson plan.

Combo Box in JSP

Hi,
I am a student and working on a class project. In my application at some point, I need to provide a combo box where user can select multiple values and those values should automatically be printed in a text area provided below the combo box. Is this possible?

The Only Way By which U can achieve this is by a scripting languages like javascript,vbscript......
Nvr By JSP(Is nothing but a servlet under execution @ background of webserver) as it is meant for Server Side Programming Surely not for Client Side Dynamic Action.
Make use of <select> with multiple property set to true....
and then.... append selected values in the second textbox.
You may go throgh the code given below
c whether that can help u out.....
CLIENT.JSP
=========
<%@ page language="JAVA">
<html>
<head>
<script>
function change(){
var x=document.getElementById("mySelect")
document.getElementById("result").value = ""
for(var i=0;i < x.length;i++){
if(x.options.selected == true)
document.getElementById("result").value = document.getElementById("result").value + " "+x.options[i].value
</script>
</head>
<body>
<select id="mySelect" size="4" multiple onchange="change()">
<option value='Apple'>Apple</option>
<option value='Pear'>Pear</option>
<option value='Banana'>Banana</option>
<option value='Orange'>Orange</option>
</select>
<input type='text' value='' size='10' name='result' id="result">
</body>

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.

How to animate a combo box?

I have a combo box that get's populated from a web service.
This may happen in the background as the user is doing other tasks.
I would like the combo box to jiggle or bounce up and down
when it receives it's data. Can anyone offer some insights into how
to do this?

Thanks for the suggestions all. I found the rotate effect to
work just great. Here is the code I used for anyone else that's
interested:
In my web service call that updates the combo box, I declare
the jiggle function on the result:
<mx:operation name="getControlsProjects"
resultFormat="object" result="jiggleComboBox()">
public function jiggleComboBox() : void
cbxProjects.visible=true;
jiggleStart.play();
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Rotate id="jiggleStart" target="{cbxProjects}"
angleTo="3" effectEnd="jiggleEnd.play()" duration="100"
repeatCount="10"/>
<mx:Rotate id="jiggleEnd" target="{cbxProjects}"
angleTo="-3" effectEnd="jiggleReset.play()" duration="100"/>
<mx:Rotate id="jiggleReset" target="{cbxProjects}"
angleTo="0"/>
I love to watch that combo box jiggle up and down. LOL
Thanks again all!

Help with Combo Box Component

I am creating an application with comboboxes and using action
script to load them. I can figure out how to change text color of
the choices in the combo box, but can anyone tell if it is possible
to make the text choices appear as different colors. For instance
if I wanted all of the choices to be black text, but for the third
choice down to appear red.
Thanks for the help.

You can set the backgroubd color if that helps.
To set the second item to have a red background, attach this
to the combobox:
on(open){
dropdown.setPropertiesAt(1,{backgroundColor:0xFF0000})
}

How to populate data in the data table on combo box change event

hi
i am deepak .
i am very new to JSF.
my problem is i want to populate data in the datatable on the combo box change event.
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..
its urgent
reply as soon as possible
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}">
                    <f:selectItems
                         value="#{selectitems.pc_Test1.usercombo.LOGINID.LOGINID.toArray}" />
               </h:selectOneMenu>
               <hx:behavior event="onchange" target="menu1" behaviorAction="get"
                    targetAction="box1"></hx:behavior>
and also i am declaring a requestParam type variable named city;
and at the onChangeEvent i am writing the code
public void handleMenu1ValueChange(ValueChangeEvent valueChangedEvent) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Map requestScope = ext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{requestScope}").getValue(context);
requestScope.put("login",(String)valueChangedEvent.getNewValue());
and also i am creating another SDO which is used to populate data in datatable and in this SDO in the where clause i am using that requestParam .
it is assigning value in the pageCode variable and in the requestParam but it is not populating the dataTable. i don't no why??
it is possible that i may not clear at this point.
please send me the way how my problem can be solved.
thanks in advance

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: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

Inherits vmParty
''' <summary>
''' The Email object backing this ViewModel

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>

'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,
Arun

Display data in list and combo box

hi all....
how to display data from database in list and combo box? i use MYSQL...
help me please..... tq...

1 - Write a query to retrieve the data you want from database
2 - In a servlet, connect to database, Run the query, scroll through the result set and put the data into a list of Java Objects.
3 - Set a request/session attribute of that list of objects
4 - Forward to JSP
5 - In JSP, create a <select> box, and then use a <c:forEach> loop to generate <option> tags from the list.

Show text box from one combo box selection

Total newb here and need help. I tried searching for a javascript to copy/paste, but without any luck. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.2.0. If you could help me out with the javascript or with directions on how to make the following be accomplished, I would be greatly appreciative.
I am creating a fillable PDF and currently have a combo box that is labeled "Internship Satisfied By" with the options of "TCoB PDP", "MRKTNG 4185", and "Other College". I would like a hidden text box (where the end user can fill in to explain) to become visible only when the end user selects the "Other College" option, but stay hidden for the other selections. The hidden text box is labeled "Internship Explained".
Thanks in advance! Jarrod

Use this code as the combo box's validation script:
if (event.value == "Other College") {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.visible;
} else {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.hidden;

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!
