Combo Box doesn't persist data insertion settings

Hi,
I'm simply trying to setup a combo box that places the selected label into a destination table cell. I've tried about every combination possible to simply add a data insertion series. Please note, I AM clicking the plus button to add it to the list shown to the left of the settings. Unfortunately, everytime I have the series added and I click away from the selected combo box it loses the settings I just provided.
Has anybody else had these frustrating issues with the combo box component?
Thank you.

Greg,
The combo box component can be a bit fiddly at times. It would help if you let me know which version of Xcelsius you are using.
In any case if you are simply trying to insert the label to a destination you dont need to bother with the series at all. Try it in this order:
1) Drag a combo box component
2) In combo box properties pane and click on the range select button beside Labels
3) Select the range in your excel sheet that has the labels and click OK
4) Go back to the properties pane and choose Insertion Type: Label
5) Click the range select button beside Destination and select a cell
6) To test it drag a Text -> Label compoent in and point it to the destination cell you selected in step 5.
7) Preview to see if all is in order
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers,
Ryan

How can i make 2 combo boxes as the same data source and group by each combo box items separately?

I have 2 combo boxes If I have data table like below
TableA
ID NAME
1 A
2 B
3 C
4 A
I make "TableA" as data source of "combobbox1" and "combobox2" like
combobox1.datasource = TableA
combobox1.displaymember = "ID"
combobox2.datasource = TableA
combobox2.displaymember = "Name"
I want when combobox2 select index at "A" , Combobox1 show only the items at ID = 1 And ID = 4
Thanks

This is not actually a question to be posted in SQL Server. Here is a link for ASP.NET forum.

It looks like there is a filter that can be applied in .NET dataset and populate the results in your combobox1. You may get better help from .NET forums for this question.

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);

Unchecking "Allow Undefined Strings" for System Combo Box Doesn't Work

Why will my system combo box still allow undefined strings even after unchecking "Allow Undefined Strings"?
The combo box works nicely because it allows the user to start typing in the string they want and the combo box will finish it off for them, but if you hit delete or change a letter turning it into an undefined string, the combo box will accept it.
Edit: I'm using LV 8.5

I don't see the issue with Delete, but Backspace causes what I think you're seeing. If I type "a" into your example combo box, it autocompletes the "re" in the word "are". If I hit delete, nothing happens. If I type other characters, nothing happens. But, if I hit backspace, then the "re" disappears, leaving just "a". If I click outside the combo box, the a is left, and a string indicator picks this up. Thus, the combo box has allowed an undefined string.
Ouch. A little help from NI, please?

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

Data grid combo box

how can i add a combo box in to the Data grid when i click the add button.
when i add the second row what i have selected before is refreshed.
please help me

The data property of the item renderer corresponds to the
item the item renderer renders (a lot of repetitions here... :-).
But when your application starts, the data property of your
item renderer is null. Still, the code is executed. So you get a
null pointer exception.
How to solve this problem ?
Use databinding within the item renderer in order to detect
the data value change from null to an object value:
<mx:Binding source="{this.data}"
destination="onDataChanged" />
private function set onDataChanged(value:Object):void
if(value)
// Do something if value is non-null
Voila !
No more errors.
Since the item has a type in the dataprovider of my datagrids
in my projects, I cast the data property to an explicit type before
accessing the item properties:
E.g
(this.data as Product).ISBN

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

Push Button , Label and combo box

Hi Experts,
Currently facing a problem , please guide.
I have two push buttons say A and B and one combo box.
I am using Combo box with source data as filtered row options.
What I want to accomplish is when push button A is clicked then my combo box should have different souce of data say sheet 1 in excel and when Push button B is clicked then the same combo box should have source data from sheet 2 from the same excel.
I mean dynamic selection of source data and then destination data by using combo boxed.
is it possible ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Anjna

Hi,
Use 2 combo boxs CB1 n CB 2.
CB1 : source form sheet1
CB2:Source from sheet 2
when push button A is selected set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 1
when push button B is selected set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 2.
Case 2:
Insted of using 2 push buttons you can use a radio butoon and select the lables A or B so that these two combo box components dnt appear at once
Take a radio button component and map lables as A and B
under behaviour tab: >Insert selected item:>mapp it with a blank cell say Sheet3!$G$4
if radio button selection is A then set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 1
if radio button selection is b then set dynamic visibility such that u get combo box 2
formula cells:
take a blak cell say Sheet3!$H$7 and write formula =IF(Sheet3!$G$4="A","",first label of combo box 2)
take a blak cell say Sheet3!$H$8 and write formula =IF(Sheet3!$G$4="B","",first label of combo box 1)
Combo box 1 :Behaviour tab-->Selected item :Sheet3!$H$7
Combo box 1 :Behaviour tab-->Selected item :Sheet3!$H$8
check if this suits ur req ...

Hi Dylan2412,
According to your description, you'd like to pass the ComboBox.Text to the second form's TextBox.
In Form1:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Form2 f2 = new Form2(this.comboBox1.Text); //pass the comboBox1.Text
f2.Show();
In Form2:
public Form2(string s) //get the string;
InitializeComponent();
this.textBox1.Text = s;
You could get the comBoBox refer to this sample above.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

Reg - 'F1' key event in Combo box

Hi,
Requirement:
      I have requirement that to launch a browser window on press of 'F1' key while the movie (swf) has focus. I did it and working fine for me in web application.
Problem statement:
      When a movie had been launched and having focus in 'Combo box' (which has list of items starts with A to Z letters) control then, i pressed 'F1' key but the browser window has not been launched, instead 'Combo box's key action event get fired and the item starts with the letter 'P' has been selected in the combo box list. If now again i press 'F1' key the browser window has launched as per my requirement.
      This behavior is happening whenever the launched movie has focus in 'Combo box'; otherwise if the focus is on some other control like TextInput etc., no problem for me. One more information, if the Combo box doesn't have any item starts with the letter 'P' then no problem for me.
      I tried to understand the behavior of combo, but still i don't have any clue. Please share your knowledge/thoughts.
Environment:
      Flex builder 3.5
      Adobe flash player 11.2
      Windows XP SP3

Hi,
I just overridden the keydown handler function in ComboBox component to avoid its own event propagation behavior if 'F1' key is pressed and its working fine for me.
Thanks for all,

Padding on combo box

I am trying to increase the top and bottom spacing on button and combo box type components using CSS, assuming that the same font and font size is used then I would like the components to all be the same height. However, I have run into a couple of difficulties.
Firstly, I can't find a way to pad combo box and choice components. The following CSS will size the combo box correctly but push down the selected cell text.
.combo-box .list-cell {
-fx-padding: 6 6 6 6;
Padding around the arrow button doesn't seem to work either. Secondly, adding a graphic node to a button or menu button increases it's size by 2 pixels. Am I missing a property somewhere?
The current CSS can be found at: https://github.com/JFXtras/jfxtras-styles/blob/master/src/brume/brume.css
Many Thanks
Andy

I am trying to set the height as part of the skin so no extra changes are needed. Some controls allow it but combo box doesn't seem to, wondering if the other controls allow it by coincident but this isn't the intention for CSS.

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.

Help with combo boxes

I am currently building a site with flash / dreamweaver and
am attempting to add two or three combo boxe that will display data
and pictures from a database. Any ideas or assistance would be much
appreciated...
Many thanks in advance

Sunil,
I'm attempting to use the data binding technique but I'm perhaps not understanding exactly where this should go. For now I'm fine with having a static array that just lives locally on the page. Each of my combo boxes are being populated using the
mx:Array --> mx:Object logic.
I need to fire off an event to a function that is able to determine which selection(s) from the combination of the two combo boxes were chooses. I'm accomplishing that by using selectedIndex property of the combo boxes id. I then have 'n' number of unique Array Collections that are basically a three dimensional array containing the numeric percentage that I need to display graphically. I need my function to be able to choose the appropriate Collection based on the combination of selected index(es) and then update my column chart accordingly.
My other confusion is how to do use my data binding at the chart level. So my page is really nothing more than two combo boxes and chart that I need to change dynamically as the selections in the combo boxes changes. Eventually I will use a webservice to connect to a .jsp page that is using DAO to retrieve the values from the database but right now I'm fine with fetching them locally just so I'll know I'm on the right track.
If it would help I can include the snippet of the code that I'm working on.
Thanks for your help

Drill Down from chart to webi trigger automatically while changing the combo box seelction

Hi Experts,
The problem is if I select the box in the heat map, it will take me to a webi report then if I come back to the dashboard and change the combo box. The selection is not deselected, As the selection is still there it selects the value in the changed heat map there by automatically triggering the URL and redirecting to Webi Report automatically.
Can any one Please help me to resolve this,i really would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Prasad

This is a typical issue when the xcelsius components do not have auto-deselect property.
Try doing this work-around. I have implemented it successfully in one of the previous projects.
Identify one particular destination cell (lets call this cell DEST_CELL here onwards) that is triggering the particular report to open automatically. Now, take a new combo box and use it to insert a blank value in the DEST_CELL everytime DEST_CELL changes its value. Now write a formula in some other cell(lets call is FLAG_CELL) that gives you a "1" when DEST_CELL is not blank and gives you "0" when DEST_CELL is blank. Use this FLAG_CELL to fire the URL. Do not fire URL on change event, fire it when FLAG_CELL is "1".
Hope this helps you. Do let me know if you need any more/other help.
Thanks,
Prasanna
