Combo Box - Font on Closed

Hi
I changed the font using
_global.styles.ComboBox.fontFamily = "AAA";
where ASU is an embedded font
The font displays correctly when the combo box is open but
closed it still show the default _sans
Anyone help on changing the display font when closed?
Many thanks
Mark

Try this:
import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
_global.styles.ComboBox = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.ComboBox.setStyle("fontFamily","AAA");

Input Controls - is it possible to change the font for a combo box

I have an input Control combo box that is a mixture of english/chinese characters. In Webi I can view the chinese characters correctly if I change the font to MingLIU. Is it possible to change the font for an input control OR to set a default font?

LOV's in form combo box - how to change font size?

Greetings:
I've a table generated form (custom vs. tabular), with a combo-box field that fills with a LOV's that has as it's visible data, a rather long concatenated string. Therefore, this field makes the entire form rather wide when the LOV's contains a long string (as returned from the SQL that gathers the data).
I've tried using the FONT tag in the 2nd tab (Form wizard) for custom layouts; that didn't work.
Anyone have ideas for decreasing the font size of the LOV's? Else, I'll have to leave-out some of the info concatenated on that string.
As always, thanks for you continued guidance and support...

Hi,
Changing the font size and other properties like font color, width, height, etc.. of the form elements can be achieved by using Cascading Style Sheet (CSS).
It cannot be changed using tag.
In Portal, one can add the CSS attribute to the HTML tags in the custom layout of the form. But adding the CSS attribute to FORM elements (Input, select..)is not possible through Form wizards.
However, this can be achieved by creating a form through the Dynamic Page. In this case you have to define your whole form.
To know more about CSS you can visit: http://www.mako4css.com

Combo Box initial font/colour

Hello - so i'm making a simple email form in flash and am
having problems
with my combo box. I have managed to make is to the drop-down
list is the
embedded font I want and have been able to change the font
colour, select
colour, drop-down border - but I can't figure out how to
change the font +
colour of the initial state of the drop-down on the screen
before it is
clicked .. or what it looks like after it's been clicked and
closes up...
you can see what I talking about at :
63.134.206.80/FRAM-email.html
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks
Tim

Try this:
import mx.styles.CSSStyleDeclaration;
_global.styles.ComboBox = new CSSStyleDeclaration();
_global.styles.ComboBox.setStyle("fontFamily","AAA");

Embedded Fonts a Combo Box and complete madness

I have a combo box that has an array of fonts loaded into
them, not here is my problem. For some reason, when i select the
fonts in the array, some of them change and some of them dont. I
have created font symbols like instructed in the live docs, but i
dont get why they arent showing up..
i.e. I have 7 fonts loaded into this combo box and i can
select Arial Bold and my text field will show the text in arial
bold, but when i select hobo, i get some substitute!
here's my code, maybe you guys will see something i
haven't.. the fonts in particular i am having trouble with: Bookman
Old Style, BrushScript and Hobo.

there are many points/issues here. here are some:
1. Your array called fonts contains eight strings such as
'new Arial()', whereas i think what you were trying to achieve here
is to create references to the fonts in the library. to do this
remove the quotation marks.
2. To be able to create references to the fonts in the
library, ensure that the font symbols in the library contain class
names, with base classes of flash.text.Font. do this by selecting
'Linkage' on your library fonts.
3. Ensure that your text field is set to embed fonts - either
in authoring, or with actionscript
eg.outputTB1.embedFonts=true;
4. you set up fonts_array with eight font names and then in
your for loop, you again add eight fonts to this array. this is
redundant.
5. in the for loop you have the line: fonts_array.push(new
String(fonts[ i]));
this appears to be an attempt at converting a reference to a
font into a font name. this isn't going to work. if you had set up
references to fonts to begin with (see point 1), and this line
wasn't redundant (see point 4), you would extract the font name
like so: fonts_array.push(fonts[ i].fontName)
6. maintaining two arrays of fonts is unecessary. i would
recommend just maintain your fonts array with references to fonts,
and extract font names from these references. this would look
something like the code attached below.
7. One last thing - i notice that you have at least two of
your fonts - arial and arial bold, probably have different
formatting. if some are bold and some are not, you will need to
specify the bold property also. eg. font.bold=true

A Combo box has robbed me of my font!

Here's a good one for you ...
I have a textFlow running through columns with a nice embedded font. Looks lovely. I then decide to add a completely unrelated Combo box to my app ... and now the textFlow doesn't render with the font. Comment out the combo and the font returns.
I don't even know where to start with that one.
I ran some tests and even with a completely dumb combo added with no DP it robs me of my font.
This is now officially MENTAL!

Hi Robin. I believe that this may be related to the Combo Box (which is a Spark combo) overriding my default TextFlow configuration. Here's how I'm formatting my TextFlow ...
Code snippet - Creating a TextFlow Configuration object on Snipplr
I'll run some tests to see if I can format the TF without using a default config.

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

Problem in refreshing the combo box on selection of an item in another comb

I have a situation where values to be displayed in 2nd combo box depends on the selection of an item from the 1st combo box.
Problem observed:
The 2nd combo box is not getting refreshed if the selected item from the 1st combo box has mapping to more than 10 items.
for ex:
A - AA, AB, AC, AD, AE, AF
B - BA, BB, BC, BD, BE, BF, BG, BH, BI, BJ, BK, BL, BM, BN, BO, BP
C - CA, CB, CC
D - DA, DB, DC, DD
1st combo box list:
A
B
C
D
2nd combo box list:
If the value selected from the first combo box is A, C, or D then 2nd combo box refreshes with repective values. But when the value selected is B, then 2nd combo box is not getting refreshed with respective values.
Combo Model for 1st combo box:
public class proCLMLossTypeComboModel implements javax.swing.ComboBoxModel
package nz.co.towerinsurance.quantum.claims.pro;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import CoreProduct.mbsoPRDLossCauseTypeList;

the very simple strategy to do is to call removeAllItems() method for the 2nd combox box and then insert the contents. this is because the validate() method is not repeatedly called and so the contents are not updated immediately.

How to populate the second combo box by depending on the selection in 1st?

I have two combo boxes, both of data in the lists come from the database. The list in the second will be changed when the selection is changed in the first one. I am trying to do query again in the ActionPerform function, unfortunately the list in second one doesn't change.
I am learning Swing now, I really appreciate for any suggestions!
Thanks

camickr,
I have another question for the tab pane. Now I have to remove the tab and add tab for updating the tab pane. I wonder if there is other way to do it. I really appreciate your help!

Using IO to create a Combo Box

Hello,
I have failed to find any examples on how to do the following, and have not yet figured out how to do it msyelf.
I want to add the entire contents of a file containg a list of people's personal numbers and their names to a combo box that is then added to the frame.
Here is the code: -

I want to add the entire contents of personal number and name
of the file to a combo box that is then added to the frame.

The file I have set-up currently that works is called "London.txt" and it contains: -
1 = John Smith

Problem w/"combo boxes" cause the user to double click for the dropdown menu, but not for everyone.

I have created a form with Adobe Acrobad Pro 9.
There are a few "drop-down" boxes for people to choose options from. I created them with the "Combo box" option. They work perfectly fine on my laptop (Lenovo T500 windows 7, with all updates up to date.) I sent the file to another exact same computer and that's when the problem came up. When you click on the drop-down, the list will quickly appear and then disappear. Then if you click it again it will stay open so you can choose your option. However this only happens on "some" computers but not everyone's. I emailed the exact same form out to other people in my office and they do not have any problems with the form. There is no need to double click the drop down, it will just open up properly for them.
Has anyone come across this? And if so, is there maybe a setting on these specific laptops that is preventing the "combo box" to not work properly? I need to use this specific laptop as a "Kiosk" like a "check out" station for users to fill out the form to check out equipment. I will be running in Reader so people can not make changes to the form. (both the Acrobat Pro 9 version and the (most up to date) Reader version of the PDF form does the same "double-click" problem) I need a date drop down and an equipment type drop down.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks !

I've got this kind of problem with a form of mine (designed with LCD) :
- combo boxes with font-color changing event handlers on :enter
- on Acrobat 9 Pro : no problem
- on Reader 8.3 :
- first click seems to execute the event handler but stops the combo's opening
- second click does open the combo
Do you have event handlers on combo:enter ?
Could the difference between comps where it works and comps where it doesn't be Acrobat's version ?

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 select default value.

Hi,
I am using Combo box to display the status of the document.
my code is
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("I8_BGU_")
                        Dim oCombo1 As SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox
                        oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("ComboSrc5", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 1)
                        'oItem = oForm.Items.Item("21") ''for accessing the combo box item
                        oCombo1 = oForm.Items.Item("21").Specific
                        '' to bind the combo box item to defined user data source
                        oCombo1.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "ComboSrc5")
                        ''giving some static values to combobox
                        oCombo1.ValidValues.Add("Open", "Open")
                        oCombo1.ValidValues.Add("Closed", "Closed")
                        oCombo1.ValidValues.Add("Extended", "Extended")
                        ' oCombo.Select("Open")
                        oCombo1.Select("Open", SAPbouiCOM.BoSearchKey.psk_ByValue)
                        oForm.Items.Item("21").Specific.DataBInd.SetBound(True, "@I8_BGU", "U_STATUS")
                        oCombo1.Select("Open")
In this code when it reaches last lineof line it is throwing error.
Object refertence not set to any instance..
some time it is throwing
error,,
" Unble to cast COM object sbouiCom.itemeventClas to Interface Type IItemevent. This application Cal is failed.
The same logic working form for another form..
Is there any modification needed.
Please.. get to me..
mahi.

Hi Mahendra,
In case of selecting a default value in a combo, it has 2 parameters to be passed. Its as below.
objCombo.Select(0, SAPbouiCOM.BoSearchKey.psk_Index)
Replace this with proper value (1st parameter). It will work.
I find that you have already used that line. So you can remove your last line.
Best Regards,
satish. B.
