Combo box,Filter

Hi to all
Pls tell me the what is diff between Combo box &Filter. In which scenario we will use Combo box..
Thanks
Yogisha

Hi
Main difference:
Both the components are used to select the records based on label selected but if u are using combo box we can have result in more that one row for the selction,where as if ur using filter you can have only one row as ur result.
so for the scenarios where you need to have more no of rows in destination for a particular selection you can go for combo box.
Alerts and clear destination when no selected item are two additional features avaialable with combo box
we cnt choose the default elected item in filter where that is possible in combo box.

  • Trying to filter an entire database using a combo box or text box

    Hi,
    I am looking to create a combo box with rows vice columns, then I would like to create a macro or some for form of filter that gives me the option to search within each or all of the selections.
    I have created a search function (using a textbox and the button features) that allows me to search for anything in my database using applyfilter. The problem that I ran into with this was that when I hit the might work, but only the first line worked.
    So I tried to use a combination box to create a filter of the fields that I want to view for the particular search I need, but I want to select row headers vice columns of information. For example if I have five fields of: Last Name, First Name, SSN, Document
    number and Unique ID.
    I want a combination box to show the following field header when I click the drop down option.
    (Last Name
    First Name
    SSN
    Documentation Number
    Unique ID)
    Then I would to apply a macro filter feature for files within theses individual fields. I am just getting started in VBA and using Macros, so any help would be awesome!!
    If I am too far off target please direct me back, I tend to over think things.
    Thanks in Advance

    Dirk Goldgar, I tried to you use the suggested method you gave me. Part of the problem I was having was that I wanted to view the field list, which I now know is very possible thanks to you, but only wanted it to show as one single list of fields.
    So took the information you gave me and went on to create a list box instead. I later found out why this was not working either.
    In what way was it not working?  You can do the same thing with a list box as I described for a combo box.
    I have relationships of tables attached.
    I don't understand what you mean by that last statement, or how it's relevant to the discussion.  Do you mean you have multiple different tables that you might want to filter?  So you would need to either (a) first need to select a table from a
    list of tables in your database, and only then select a field in that table, or else (b) have a table listing all the data elements you might want to search, with the table and field name of each, and base a list box on that -- then the code to search would
    know what table to select from, as well as what field to filter on.
    So this info that you provided was very helpful. I will continue to go through the link you provided.
    So I can quickly sum up what I need:
    1. A dropdown box that allows me to search any Field List
    2. A textbox that allows me to type in the searchable information for that particular field.
    3. Or some way to build a filter function for the whole list, with a textbox to search the key words.
    This is all still a bit unclear to me, because I don't know whether you want to search a particular table, or any of many possible tables in the database.

  • Combo box in "Filter by Custom Properties"

    Hi to all,
    I create some custom metadata properties  properties in order to classifie the documents in KM.
    This metadata properties has a set of Allowed Values, so the value is selectable with a combo-box in Detail box of KM.
    Now I have to enable the Filter by Custom Properties with the combobox in place of textfields.
    How to do?
    Regards,
    Giampaolo

    What you want is not the Filter by Custom Properties but the Filter by Predefined Properties.
    In you search options configuration add your properties to the predefined properties list and you'll get your combo-box.
    To configure your search options go to:
    System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Search -> Search Options Set

  • How to Filter the List in Combo Box in JDeveloper?

    Hey guys, I really need your help regarding this matter. In JDeveloper, I need to filter the list in combobox in order for us to query faster especially when the list is very long. For example in a 'Country' combo box, when you type 'p' in the field, the list must filter simultaneously all countries that start with letter 'p' or when you place 'ph', all countries with 'ph' in the beginning. If you have sample codes, keywords needed, or sites recommended to solve this problem, it will be very much appreciated. Thnx.

  • To filter data in two dates using combo box component

    Hi,
    I have a requirement like, i need to filter data in chart between two dates from two combo box.. From combo_box and To combo_box.
    I am using one QaaWS to populate LOV's into Combo box's and another QaaWS for chart data. Universe is the same one on SAP  BI query.
    LOV's are populating into both combo's and chart as well, i used a query refresh button after choosing two dates and press button.
    Data is not reflecting as per the choice of dates.
    If any one have such scenario, request you to share the same....
    Thanks in advance...
    Raj..

    Problem is with ranges, not with dates, my data is working fine with CALDAY (in BI Query)....
    My query variable is on FiscalPeriod month, like "FEB 2011"  to "OCT 2011" and is optional, but it is fails in QaaWS to execute when i try to input any months.
    If we give default values in BI query format is like K4/010.2011 for october month. QaaWS doesnt fail and executes, but if i change any value in QaaWS it is taking as "OCT 2011"
    And in Xcelsius it is not recognizing eaither of the formats like, K4/010.2011 or "OCT 2011"
    the format is not matching with xcelsius.

  • Increasing row capacity of any excelcius component (Filter ,Combo Box)

    Hi
    Even though I have increased the capacity of Dashboard rows capacity from 512 to 2000.
    But my filter component or combo box component source data is mapped to more than 512 rows in the spreadsheet,while previewing it still shows data of 512 rows.
    Is there any way to increase component capability?
    I know the performance will be bad but still atleast it should capture the whole source data records and

    It could be two reasons
      First Reason: it could be due to the limit of no of rows in excel .Please check the preferences option in Xcelsius . By default it will be set as 512 rows of data increase that to required rows.
       Second Reason: if you are using live office in Xcelsius.By default it will fetch 512 rows of data.To increase limit we have to do some server side settings.Please refer to the following SAP Note which gives the solution to this problem.
      SAP Note:1307538
      or go through the following steps:
    These changes have to be made on the server side
    1.     Create a backup of dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar from serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib for future reference.
    2.     Copy dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar from serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib to your computer.
    3.     Rename the file just copied to dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar.zip (add.zip to end of filename)
    4.     Create folder in root of InstallDrive: named META-INF (case sensitive), in InstallDrive:\META-INF named BusinessObjects (case sensitive) and in InstallDrive:\META-INF\BusinessObjects named DSWS (case sensitive)
    5.     Using WinZip or WinRAR, unzip the file named liveoffice_config.properties from the dsws-liveoffice-ws.jar.zip file copied from the server. Place this file in InstallDrive:\META-INF\BusinessObjects\DSWS.
    6.     Edit the liveoffice_config.properties file and find the following section:
    #max number of range rows and range columns to return
    maxRowCount=512
    maxColumnCount=512
    7.     Edit the maxRowCount entry to the value youu2019d like to use
    8.     Save the file as liveoffice_config.properties (same filename)
    9.     Using winRAR or WinZip add the new liveoffice_config.properties file back to dsws-liveoffice-ws.jar.zip, making sure to use the "use absolute path" option.
    10.     Stop Apache Tomcat service on BO server
    11.     Copy dsws-liveoffice-ws.jar.zip to serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib.
    12.     Rename dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar in serveru2019s InstallDrive:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib directory to dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar.old.
    13.     Rename dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar.zip in serveru2019s c:\program files\business objects\Tomcat\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\lib directory to dsws-liveoffice-provider.jar
    14.      Empty the Tomcat cache by deleting the content of the folder <<C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\work>>
    15.     Restart Apache Tomcat on server
    This should increase the number of rows fetched by LiveOffice, however it may happen that changing the number of rows in the liveoffice_config.properties many times may result in liveoffice picking the data from the cache. Hence deleting the cache (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\work) is necessary. Incase deleting the cache also doesn't work, we may have to redeploy the dswsbobje folder.
    To redeploy, follow the steps given below:
    1.     Go to C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps and keep a backup of the dswsbobje folder.
    2.     Now delete this folder and restart Tomcat.
    3.     Restarting Tomcat will recreate the dswsbobje folder but will again default the number of rows fetched by LiveOffice to 512.
    4.     We will again have to follow the steps mentioned in the start to increase the number of rows from 512 to the desired value.
    5.     Restart Tomcat again for the changes to take place.
    Note: Increasing the number to large values might cause inconsistency in the behavior or instability.

  • Use Combo Boxes and Datepart "m" and "y" to filter forms and reports

    I am trying to build a Form to filter through Sales Order Records going back up to four years to find purchasing patterns of  customers and to find more potential sales.  I am using a simple main form, with 2 subforms joined on the Sales Representative
    [accntrep], one which show current orders for a given month and the other orders from past months and years.  I've got 3 combo boxes, 1 to select sales representative, 1 to select a month using date part and 1 to select a month.  This would be very
    flexible in easily searching any month in any year of the recordset.  I know I will be using something like "DatePart("m",[Date])=2 And Year([Date])=Year(Date())-4" (Feb 2011) to filter my records, but I am having troubling writing
    the procedure just right.  I am using 2-column combo boxes 1 column for text i.e (April, May, June etc.) and a second for the Date Part Expression.  I think I need to concatenate the values into the filter, but I cannot come up with exactly how to
    get this done.  Any ideas??
    Thanks,
    js

    If there is any doubt in your mind then I  will suggest a sanity debug trick; temporarily add 2 textboxes
    in T1 put its control source: =ComboBoxNameMonth
    in T2 put its control source: =ComboBoxNameYear
    don't put what I typed - put in their actual control names for those 2 comboboxes
    this way you can see what is actually the value of those combo boxes... depending on what they are bound to - those values may not be what you are expecting them to be.....obviously alter the properties of the comboboxes until they have the values they should
    Am a little unclear on filtering your records in regard to how the data is not structured whether for example: Nov 2015 is in 2 separate fields or a single field like 11/2015 or what - not sure it is a true date field or possibly a text field...so
    the next part of this depends on the data structure.

  • Retrieve all values from project type when project type combo box is null

    Hi,
    We are facing a tight situation here. We have a scenario where we have 2 filter options.
    1) Department ID
    2) Project type
    When department ID is selected all the department IDs should be populated in the combo box and the project type combo box should be empty.
    Similarly, when project type is selected all the project types should be populated in the combo box and the department ID combo box should be empty.
    Then, when more than one value is selected from department ID box and all the values from project type must be retrieved from query level (as per business logic).
    How do we do this? Kindly help us with this situation.

    Basically my situation slightly different.
    I am trying to do a bulk insert on SQL Server table using prepared statement, during that time i am getting the exception. I am using JDBC-ODBC driver. However, if i do individual record insertion, it is working.
    Any idea about this type of problem ?

  • Change combo box selection dynamically?

    I would like to have a combo box change its selection dynamically according to what is selected in another selector.  As far as I can tell from reading the Help, this feature is available for List Boxes, List Views and List Builders only ("The Dynamic Selected Item functionality is available in list-based selectors") and based on the wording I assume that it is currently unavailable for other components.  Is this true?  If so I would like to formally request that other selectors - particularly combo boxes - be included.
    The use case for me is this: After the user has already inputted information and digested some of the output, they eventually reach a section of the project that appears only under certain conditions.  This area is about 800 pixels to the right of the original combo box in the inputs area, and so in order to quickly change that selection they would have to go look for the original selector, which could easily discourage them from browsing that particular selection.  Hopefully this makes sense.
    It would also be great to hear back that this kind of feature request can actually be made in this way.  I've submitted a few similar requests in the past and did not see an acknowledgment, and so I am still unclear as to whether or not feature requests are even possible.
    (Edit: I thought about creating duplicate overlapping instances of the combo boxes in question and, using dynamic visibility, control which appears according to the current selection.  But this is only suitable for smaller lists).

    Thanks, Alan.  I am currently working on a similar solution.  Seems to be the best for my situation, but it is far from elegant.

    The Filter component requires that the underlying Excel data be structured in a pretty specific way.  As far as I can tell, I would probably have to rip apart my XLS and redesign it in order to make use of that component.  Perhaps in a future generation I'll give it a go, but I've already gone through too many redesigns this time around.

  • Edit Items in TestStand Sequence File Combo Box?

    Hello All,
      I am creating a basic user interface VI Project, based off of the examples included with TestStand.  In the "Simple" example, there is a Open Seq File button, and an associated combo box to select the Sequence File to run.  For my application, I would like to limit the sequence file options from which the operator can choose (not allow the operator to browse the entire hard drive to find a sequence file).  Using basic Labview functions, I would have done this with a regular combo box, and use the "Edit Items" option to load file options into the drop-down menu.  However, the TestStand UI combo box does not allow this, presumably because it is an ActiveX control, and configuration is different from normal Labview functions.  Is it possible to pre-load the TestStand UI combo box with allowed sequence files?  Or, if there are other suggestions on how to accomplish the requirement, I am open to them as well. 
    Thanks in advance,
    GSinMN       

    One idea is to use the native LabVIEW controls.  Then hide the TestStand UI controls and update them from the events triggered by the native LabVIEW controls. I have had to do this before on UIs when the customer wanted a certain look and feel.
    So basically have the native LabVIEW combo box set like you want.  When the user makes a selection, in the event for that selection update the hidden TestStand Sequence File Combo Box witht he correct sequence file.
    Another option is to use events for the Sequence File Combo Box and just filter and force certain behavior.
    Hope this helps,

  • Combo box in KM Navigation

    Hi all,
    How could I configure a layoutset with a combo box selecting properties to filter in KM Navigation iview?
    Thanks.
    Guillermo

    Hi Guillermo,
    Do you talk about beeing able to search documents on a specific property ?
    Then you have to :
    1) create a search iView
    2) create a search option set
    <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cc/f4e77ddef1244380b06fee5f8b892a/content.htm">OnlineHelp</a><a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/ad/e3ce0fd4f011d5994400508b6b8b11/content.htm">OnlineHelp</a>
    3) in the search option set you created, define the parameter "Allowed Predefined Properties" with the property you want the search to be able to work. Note that the property has to be flaged as "Indexable"
    Note that the property will only be visible after the index ran once, with data for that property
    Hope this help

  • Using Combo box at the backend

    Hi,
    I am using combo box at the backend to filter rows to a particular destination.
    The problem is the labels are going to populate at the runtime and the selection of item in combo box is also going to populate at the run time. I have an icon which inserts eg: country in a cell, then this cells is used by combo box as a item selection(label) to filter rows from source. But unfortunately the comb box is not selecting any value i.e no item is selected dynamically. But if i manually drill down it is working but the label is not changing dynamically based on the changes in label by icon.
    For eg my data:
    Country and profit populate at run time
    Country          Profit
    India               5000
    Germany        4000
    Now i have icon which selects country (hard coded in excel) upon clicking the mouse on it and inserts in A1 suppose the value hardcoded is "India". Now this A1 is used as a "selected item" for combo box. the source to combo box is the above country and profit which populates at run time.
    Now when i execute the dashboard. The value is inserted in A1 after clicking the icon but it is not picked up by combo box as "item selected" and hence combo box does not filter any data.
    Can any pls help.
    Thank you. I will award full points for correct solution.

    Hi Monammed,
    The said functionality should work. Please check your logic one more time. Also, try using some spreadsheet components mapped to the cells in question and understand how the data is flowing during run-time. This will help you test things. Delete spreadsheets when you are done with identifying the issue.
    Lets check the combo box mapping one more time : Map the source of the combo to the entire range; labels in the combo box ONLY to the country column in the source range(typically this may be the left most column in the range); selected item should be mapped to the cell that has the destination for the icon and the type for default selection may be dynamic. Well, if there is any hard-coding of values involved anywhere, do check the spellings and other trivial things.
    Do let me know if this was helpful and if you need any more help.
    Thanks,
    Prasanna

  • Huge combo boxes in JFileChooser/JList text truncated in 1.4.0

    Hi there,
    We have an application which works fine on Sun JRE 1.3.1
    Recently we started supporting Sun JRE 1.4.0
    But we have some problems with GUI in Sun JRE 1.4.0
    In the JFileChooser dialog the combo box for Folder name
    and file filter is atleast twice as big as normal in when
    using JRE 1.4.0. This seems to be happening only in some particular
    machines. And if we run the application using JRE 1.3.1, on the machine which has problems with JRE 1.4.0, everything works fine.
    Also we use a JList with a custom cell rendered in the application.
    the cell renderer returns a JLabel component with "monospaced" font set in it. In some machines (same machines which has the JFileChooser problem) the upper half of each item in the JList is truncated. This also works fine is we use JRE 1.3.1 on the same machine.
    Please help me if you have any info on these issues.
    Any pointers to related issues on this forum or bug database is highly appreciated.
    Thanks in adance

    Hehe. Give it more time. Could you explain more about what you mean?
    You have a form with the select combo box in it. The user chooses a value from the combo box. Then submits the form. You want to put the value of the option inside the sql statement right? Not the words displayed by the option, but the item you put in the value section right?
    If so, its rather easy:
    query = "INSERT INTO Table VALUE( comboType, \""+request.getParameter( "text")+"\"); The \" might not be necessary depending on how the value is stored.

  • Combo box entries not refreshing as per new data

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle SOA PS3 version.
    I have created an Updating ordered List report on a DataObject. I created a filter on a field 'NAME' and made that filter associated that to a prompt. The prompt is visible as a drop down on top of a report.
    Before I open the report there is no data in DataObject and the combo box does not show any options. But after the report is opened data comes into the dataObject and the rows appear in report also. But when I try to see the entries in the combo box, I dont see anything there.
    The entries in combo box are not getting refreshed dynamically as per the newly arriving data. Any idea of how to get this done .. ?
    Any Information on this will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Raj Kumar

    Hi,
    Do the below checks,
    1) Check if you have maintained correct Key values where the data is stored in your report.
    2) Check if you have data for the specific combination of dimension members using EVGET function
    3) Check if the data is there in the backend for the specific combination of dimension members using the transaction RSA1
    4) Create new Report of that type and check if the data is flowing.
    Hope this helps,

  • Using functions from Combo Box 'Others:'

    I am trying to use function DENSE_RANK in OWB 9.0.3.33.0. Unfortunately I can not find properly aropriate object form tool box palette. I tried to use JOIN, FILTER, EXPRESSION. Mostly I get error: PL/SQL: ORA-30483: window functions are not properly here.

    Peter.
    -Poland-

    Thank You for replay.
    I looked at documentation and I saw that DENSE_RANK is in the list aggregate functions. I mean You want to tell me that version of DENSE_RANK what I use is wrong but my question is about OWB.
    In window "Expression Builder" You can use some of functions. If You add to mapping JOIN object in Expression Builder window You can write join condition. In combo box list called "Others", there is DENSE_RANK in the list. After You select this and paste to window OWB generate code like:
    DENSE_RANK() OVER (
    [PARTITION BY <value expression1> [, ...]]
    ORDER BY <value expression2> [collate clause] ASC
    [NULLS FIRST|NULLS LAST] [, ...] )
    I am confused.
    I still do not know what OWB object I can use to get "My level" pseudo column.
