Combo box choose several

Hello
I try to make a combo box, where it should be possible to choose several values at the same time. The item list contains a bunch of historical traces and I want to do a graph showing only the chosen ones. Is ther any possibility to set a bool for each item, which is per default false and can be changed to true, so this plot is shown in the graph?
thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

A listbox might work better to select the traces you want.
See the attached vi.

Combo Box in JTable

Is there a way to make one column in a JTable a ComboBox so that user can choose between 2-3 items?
Any code help would be appreciated.

Here are just some code snippets, sorry i didn't tidy them up.
//here is the initialization of the comboBox column and get data from db

      columnResults.addElement("R");
    if (! (columnResults.contains("N"))) {
      columnResults.addElement("N");

      columnResults.addElement("B");
    comboBox.setModel(new ResultSetComboBoxModel(columnResults));
    col.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox));
    DefaultTableCellRenderer renderer =

Language chooser combo box

Dear all,
I have read the guide on to create language chooser combo box
from here:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/l10n_4.html#159225
But until now I can not make it to work. Is there any other
thing I need to configure which is not written in the guide? Please
give me some insights about this.
Many thanks

I need to use:
{resourceManager.getString('Admin','username')}
instead of
@Resource(key='user,' bundle='Admin')
to be able to change the language during runtime :-)

I need a combo box with 4 values to choose from which will populate a text box on the form with text related to each combo box selection

For example:
Combo box choices:
apple
tomato
squash
Pumpkin
The text box depending on the selection above would state the color:
Green        (if Apple was chosen from the combo box
Red           (if Tomato was chosen from the combo box
Yellow       (if Squash was chosen from the combo box
Orange      (if Pumpkin was chosen from the combo box
I am very new at this and have spent hours looking for an answer. Thank to anyone in advance who can help!

Place each value as the export value of the options in the combo-box and then use this code as the text field's custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("ComboBox Name").value;

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"

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>

</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>

''' <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>

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

End Set
End Property

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:vm="clr-namespace:CCIS.ViewModel.Case"
mc:Ignorable="d"

<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.

How can I create a multi-line combo box?

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and I am trying to create a multi-line combo box on my fillable form. At the bottom of this form/letter I would like to have a several paragraps that the user can choose from, but it's only allowing me to enter one line at a time. Any help??

Hi, Did you find the answer to this? I'm looking to create a combo box with multi-lines

I have NO scripting experience but am attempting to create "cascading combo box" with two boxes.

I have copied and edited to the best of my ability several options but keep getting errors, mostly illegal character on line...
I do not have LifeCycle, merely Adobe Acrobat IX (and a trial version of Acrobat XI PRO) and the extent of my knowledge ends at placing fields, text, etc. . .
The scenario is as follows:
On the document, there are two combo boxes
1- "DeptName"
2- "Position"
The goal is to be able to select one of 15 different departments, and based on that selection, choose from between 2 to 15 different positions for that corresponding department.
Below is what I was hopeful would work, but alas - FAIL!!
If anyone could assist it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
myDeptNameValues =
"ADMINISTRATION – RSADMN (8171)",
"BEVERAGE – RSBEV (8174)",
"CATERING – RCCAT (8959)",
"CLUB – RSCLB (8174)",
"CONCESSIONS – RCCON (8961)",
"CONCESSIONS – RSCON (8173)",
"CULINARY – RSKIT (8177)",
"FACILITIES – RSFAC (6925)",
"RETAIL – RSRET (8175)",
"SUITES – RSSTE (8177)",
"VENDING – RSVND (8173)",
"WAREHOUSE – RSWHS (8173)"
this.getField("DeptName").setItems(myDeptNameValues);
var DeptData =
ADMINISTRATION – RSADMN (8171):["Teller","Security"],
BEVERAGE – RSBEV (8174):["Bartender","Barback"],
CATERING – RCCAT (8959):["Banquet Server",”Banquet Captain"],
CLUB – RSCLB (8174):["Cashier","Counter","Cook","In Seat Server","Runner","Stand Manager"],
CONCESSIONS – RCCON (8961):["Counter","Cashier","Cook","Runner","Beer Attendant/SMC","Stand Lead","Supervisor"],
CONCESSIONS – RSCON (8173):["Counter","Cashier","Cook","Runner","Beer Attendant/SMC","Stand Lead","Supervisor"],
CULINARY – RSKIT (8177):["Cook 1 – Entry Level","Cook 2 – Advanced Level","Cook 3 – Lead Cook","Kitchen Supervisor","Steward"],
FACILITIES – RSFAC (6925):["Lead – Blower/Press","Cleaning Services Worker"],
RETAIL – RSRET (8175):["Warehouse","Supervisor","Warehouse Supervisor","Vendors/Hawkers","Senior Supervisor","Associates"],
SUITES – RSSTE (8177):["Suite Attendant","Ice Cream Cart Attendant","Runner","ReOrder Clerk","Suite Captain","Pantry Supervisor"],
VENDING – RSVND (8173):["Vendor","Vendor Filler","Alcohol Compliance Supervisor","Auditor","Level Supervisor","Senior Supervisor"],
WAREHOUSE – RSWHS (8173):["Runner","Supervisor"]
function SetFieldValues(cDeptName)
this.getField("Position").setItems(DeptData[cDeptName]);
The above code was placed in the document script. Within the format area of the "DeptName" box, I have the following code placed in the keystroke script.
if( event.willCommit )
if(event.value == "")
this.getField("box2").clearItems();
else
SetFieldValues(event.value);
I have spent the past four days, more than 18 hours in the last two alone trying to nail this down and I can't explain how completely defeated I feel, not to mention frustrated.
Again, thanks for your help!!

I suppose I am not meant to figure this out. I am trying my absolute hardest to accomplish compiling this document without having to resort to asking someone to do it for me as I have noticed in a few other threads, but it just seems to get more frustrating. I have accomplished the first thing I set out to do and I completely appreciate your assistance with that. My issue now is that i have other text fields I want to automatically fill based on the selection of the very same DeptName combo box. I can make the cascading/dependent box work with the initial DeptName box, or all the additional text fields with the DeptName box, but cannot seem to accomplish having them work together. I have been working daily, reading blogs/forums, watching videos all in an effort to complete this before it's needed on Feb. 2.
Is it possible to make 7 text fields and a combo box(B) fill based on the selection of a separate combo box (A), and then have 5 more text fields automatically fill based on the selection from the secondary box (B)? I can make it all happen individually, meaning only the text fields for one box or the combo box (A to b) but not in conjunction.

Changing Drilldown on Stacked Coulmn Charts with auto-selected combo boxes

Hello Experts,
i have a big issue and no idea how to solve it. Hopefully you can help me. I would really appreciate that so thanks for any answer in advance.
Here my problem:
I have two stacked column charts and two combo boxes. Each combo box shows filtered row data in one chart. That works fine.
Now i want to implement drilldown which will change the data of the other chart by clicking. Example: Chart 1 represents the working hours of different staffs, chart 2 represents working hour in different projects. Now, I have a staff A who works in projects A and B. Projects A and B are now the rows in chart 1. By clicking on row project A the second chart should show me the data of project A. In project A there are several members stacked in the chart showing the whole working hours of the project. Now i want to change the perspective by clicking on a row in chart 2 so the data of employee XY is showing up and so on.
I realized it by drilldowns. however there is no data but the row's name insertion. this cell is my trigger cell for the combo boxes so it will choose the right person/project automatically if i click on a row. In both charts is "No Selection (-1)" activated, in combo boxes is "When Value changes" picked.
At the beginning i worked fine. my dashboard had displayed the data i wanted by clicking on the rows. but at a specific point my dashboard crashes.
I figured out that if i drill down once the selection will not disappear. so on two drill downs there is an automatically selection of a specific row and at the end my dashboard crashes and no data is displayed.
To solve my problem i need something to deselect my selection automatically or a reset for only one graph. i have worked with push buttons but its like the reset button because the row's name disappear too.
Whether Xcelsius components or excel formulas, i have no idea how to solve my problem.
Im grateful for every hint.
Kind regards
Lars Schmidt

Well I need to get this thing done by tomorrow. The
end goal is a program that will take data from text
boxes, wrap predefined XML tags around them, and
export them to a XML file. He's also sent me another
*.java file which creates a XML file, but that also
doesn't workThat's nice.

Using Combo box to create options

Hello,
I am using a Framegrabber to acquire my images from our custom made sensors. We have several models so I wrote several Drivers for each one. I have managed to use a combo box with the names of the sensors to select which driver is loaded into the IMAQ board. However, because the application is getting more and more complex, and because I want to have one universal application for all our sensors, I want to have the ability to select different options according to the driver that is selected. For example, if I select Sensor A, and I want to use the serial communication, I want the address of sensor A to be used in the VI. If I choose Sensor B, the values related to sensor B are to be chosen. I guess the idea is simple to implement using an If Statement in C or other languages, but I don't want to go through that mess, and I want to implement it with LabVIEW.
I could use a Case structure, but that only gives me two options. And I am not very good with Event structures and I do not know if I can use it for this. I also tried to use a local variable, but it would not let me change the values associated with the labels.
If you understood what I was trying to say, and have an idea, I would greatly appreciate your help. If you are interested in helping but need a visual illustration, I can put a quick VI together for you.
Thank you in advance,
Rami

Hi.
I think I am doing something wrong, but, maybe someone can quickly enlighten me.
The situation is this.
I have a combo box with about 65 values. I want to feed these into a case structure (to select a range of settings to use later on)
How do I get the values to also appear in the case headers? All I have is true and false..
My output of the combo box is a string, not a number. is that why I dont get the values automatically?
I've attached the combobox and a case structure.

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

Access 2010 - How to display data from a table into a text box upon combo box selection?

Hi
I have a a table with 5 columns: month, year, USD, SGD, BAHT.
I created a form with a combo box for selection of the month and year, and I would like to set adjacent text boxes to show USD, SGD, BAHT information. How can i go about doing that?
From the Q&A here, most of them uses the function similar to this "=[Combo0].[Column](1)" to show the data in the text box, but this would require the combo box to list a whole bunch of details if i were to add in more currency values to the
table. Is it possible to not show this information in the combo box, but still populate data in the textboxes base on a selection on only the "month" and "year" in the combo box.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to show only the month/year in the combo box, we can choose the date, and it will display the value of USD/SGD/BAHT based on the month/year.
If it is, I recommend you try the steps:
Create a form based on your data source table>Add the combo box>combo box wizard>Find a record on my form based on the value I selected my combo box>Add mouth and year to selected fields

Resetting a combo box

I have added a combo box to the invoice form and populated the validvalues collection with a list of warehouses for the user to choose from. This only appears in Add mode.
Everything works well except after adding an invoice, when all the SAP fields are reset to blanks or their default values, the combo box still has the value that the user selected from the previous invoice. I would like to have the box be empty (as it is when the form is first displayed).
Does anyone know how to do this? SBO 2005 - Thanks in advance!

Hi John Chadwick
You can try the following
try
       If oCombo.ValidValues.Count > 0 Then
                oCombo.ValidValues.Add("", "")
                oCombo.Select(oCombo.ValidValues.Count - 1, SAPbouiCOM.BoSearchKey.psk_Index)
                For i = 0 To oCombo.ValidValues.Count - 1
                    oCombo.ValidValues.Remove(0, SAPbouiCOM.BoSearchKey.psk_Index)
                Next i
            End If
catch ex as exception
'leave blank
end try
Hope this helps

How do I correctly use Macro Builder to have a form auto select a TAB depending on a value selected in a combo box?

I am working in access 2013 to update a database first created in Access 2003. It has been saved as an accdb but I have the same problem in earlier versions.
I have a Tab Control subform in my MainDataEntry form which has 5 different tabs. Each Tab has its own set of text boxes and combo boxes for data entry. At the top of the MainDataEntry form there is a Text box [Text393], which has a drop down with
the 5 TAB names, [Mobile Device],[Computer],[Loose Media],[Network] and [Original Device]. When I select one of these values in the Text box, I would like to automatically set focus on the first Textbox or ComboBox inside the corresponding TAB.
I have tried to do this using the MacroBuilder inside the "After Update" Property for the Text or Combo box that is on the MainDataEntry Form using "If" and "Else If" statements for the "GoToControl" action, however
I seem to be able to only get one Tab to work. I have tried several different variations of this, putting the If statement first and the action argument second...putting all arguments inside a group, or not grouped....nothing seems to work. What am I
doing wrong?
EXAMPLE:
If [Text393]=[Mobile Device] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   Combo471
Else If [Text393]=[Computer] Then
    GoToControl
Control Name   Bios_Date
Else If [Text393]=[Loose Media] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   Combo659
Else If [Text393]=[Network] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   User Name
Else If [Text393]=[Original Device] Then
    GoToControl
         Control Name   Combo814
End If

In the Macro Builder's AfterUpdate event for [Text393]:
GoTo Control
Control Name =Forms!MainDataEntry.Controls(Text393.Value).Name
To ensure that the first control on each tab receives the focus, set that control's Tab Index property to zero (0).

InfoView - How to Restrict values of Month Dimension Combo Box

Hello, we are using Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 in the company I work, and we are facing a problem in some web intelligence reports.Our BO version is in Spanish, so maybe I do not translate some BO terms properly into English.
We have the "Time" class in the Universe we use, and in that class, we have the "month" dimension.
When we create some reports in InfoView, we can use the "month" dimension to display the results of that month (dragging and dropping that dimension in the "Analysis Context" Area).
The user can choose values in the "month" dimention through a combobox in the "analysis context" area. The problem is that Infoview allows the user to select the value "all the values" of that dimension, I mean, all the months, so that the results of the report are according to the "automatic aggregation" calculated of the values of that dimension (all the months).
But, we do not want to allow the user to select that value (all the values) of that dimension, because it causes that the report displays incorrect results (we have some percentages that have incorrect values in the aggregation, for example). I hope that you understand the problem I have tried to explain.
My question is how can we restrict so that the combo box (of the month dimension at the analysis context area ) does not allow to select "all the values"?
Is it possible? If so, do we have to make a change in the universe or is it a restriction of the web intelligence repport?
Thank you very much!

Alejandro,
In your posting, quote "(we have some percentages that have incorrect values in the aggregation, for example).", I'm wondering if you are calculating the percentages within your universe or not? I.e. do you have a universe object that in essence is doing the math? If so, I might suggest that you not do it this way (even though in total aggregation calculations this will produce a valid result), but in disaggregate calculations (during the users "slicing and dicing") the percentages are not re-calculated by the BusObjects tool because it thinks that the data it received from the SQL output is good to go, and this is where the incorrect values in the aggregation start to show up. We had this problem too, so we ceased from calculating at the universe level and built a local variable to the report, thus BusObjects will recalcuate the percentage properly for each level of aggregation that user selects. The downside to this approach is that every report that has percentage calculations will require the local variable to be built for that report. Even users who build their own reports will have to build their own local variable to compute the percentage for their reports. The upside is that the calculations will be correct every time.

"Shared Variable Control" combo box on Front Panel is empty after Build

Hello;
I have a project using shared variables and the DSC module. I am working on building a .exe application now that the project seems to run well.
I have several places on the front panel where I have shared variable controls. These combo boxes allow the user to click the drop down button and browse the list of shared variables in the project, as well as "browse". When I run the VI from the project, the combo boxes fully populate with all of the deployed tags in the project (I have only one .lvlib in the project).
When I build the project and run the executable, the only item in the combo box list is the "browse..." selection. I can click on that and browse to my variables, but it is much more time consuming to do so than to simply select the desired variable from the drop down list.
So, how can I populate the list of shared variables from a particular library ino the Shared Variable Control combo box in a project build?
A couple of things I have done to try to esolve th problem are ensure that the "Enable Enhanced DSC Run-Time Support" box is checked in the advanced tab of the build window, added the appropriate .lvlib file to the "Dynamic VI's and SUpport Files" window under the "Source Files" tab of the build window, and properly deployed the tag library programmatically in the project.
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
What you see in the development environment is to make it easier for developers, and as far as I know, there's no way to automatically populate the shared variable control during run time in an executable. The reason being that the shared variable control would have no way to know which process it should be using to get the variables from. The attached vi demostrate how you can acquire the list of shared variables in a process. You can also set the default values of the shared variable control by right clicking it on the front pannel, go to Data Operations->Make Current Value Default. I can do some more research on this, but I'm about 95% sure that there's no way to convert the array of shared variables to populate the shared variable control, as the shared variable control is a special type of xControl.
