Customizing Drop Downs, Selection Widths larger than drop down box.

I have a drop down menu that needs to be a certain width and, in the end, needs to contain a 5 digit value. But, that value is bound to a description, and I want the users to be able to select based on description.
It's a data drop down, so it has the premade Javascript already and it has display and value bindings to an SQL database, so most of it is set up already, I just need two things:
How can the selection list that appears be larger than the actual drop down box, so that it accomodates the descriptions instead of the numeric values?
Can I cause the box to fill with the "value" instead of the "display text" after the description selection has been made?

The width of the DD is set at design time. Not sure if you can change the width after the form has been rendered. If you can it will be complicated to cycle through each item in the list to get the right length.
You can have the DropDown display description but submit or report the numeric values. Once that is set it cannot be changed. You can get either value back programatically but once it is set you cannte change it dynamically.

Print the report on page has width larger than height and not landscape mode

Hi,
I'm trying to print report on page (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) which the width larger than the height.
The problem is windows keeps changing the page oreintation to landscape and when I change it back to portrait its changing the width to 13cm and height to 18cm.
I'm using dot matrix printer to print the report, if i put Landscape , printer is printing the text in horizontal.
Already i have tried to setup the custom for on printer, and used custom page size but it is changing to landscape.
I need to print the report with out preview, direct print top printer, NO PDF....
Thank you .....

Hi Anil,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. When I set (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) as the Report Page size, it would automatically convert Orientation from Portrait to Landscape. Because the Orientation displayed is dependent on the page
width and page height of the report.
But in my scenario, the Orientation option just change the Width and Height sizes, it couldn’t affect the text rotation. I guess this issue can be caused by the printer and printer driver, please try to update them. Reference:

Hope this helps.

SELECT records larger than date specified in sub query

Dear All
Thank you for your attention.
I would like to select records larger than date specified in sub query
query should be something like the following
SELECT my_order_number, my_date, my_task
FROM MYTB
WHERE my_order_number IN order_no AND my_date > date (SELECT order_no, date FROM MySubQueryResult)
(it is incorrect)
Sub query result:
order_no | date
A1 | 2014-12-21 09:06:00
A2 | 2014-12-20 09:07:00
A3 | 2014-12-20 08:53:00
A4 | 2014-12-20 08:57:00
MYTB:
my_order_number | my_task | my_date
A1 | T1 | 2014-12-21 09:06:00
A1 | T2 | 2014-12-22 10:01:00
A2 | T1 | 2014-12-20 09:07:00
A3 | T2 | 2014-12-20 08:53:00
A3 | T4 | 2014-12-21 09:30:00
A3 | T8 | 2014-12-23 20:32:00
A4 | T6 | 2014-12-20 08:57:00
expected result:
my_order_number | my_task | my_date
A1 | T2 | 2014-12-22 10:01:00
A3 | T4 | 2014-12-21 09:30:00
A3 | T8 | 2014-12-23 20:32:00
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
try this
SELECT my_order_number, my_date, my_task
FROM MYTB
WHERE my_order_number IN (SELECT order_no FROM MySubQueryResult)
AND my_date > (SELECT date FROM MySubQueryResult)
Alternatively, you can also make use of joins to achieve the same.

Dear Praveen Dsa
Thanks for your reply, but order_no and date are paired and related, cannot separate.
each order have its own date, so it is not working

Select customer name from a drop down Select List or be able to type it in

Hi,
Is there a way to allow my users to have an option to either select a customer name from a drop down Select List or be able to type it in...
Thanks in advance

This is an excellent option for another application but in this one I would prefer a drop down list to allow my users to see all the orders (to pick from the list) or type it in if they can't find it in the list...
I know how to create a drop down select list but not sure what to do to allow users to be able to manually type in as well...
Thanks

Performing Calculation based on drop down selection

I need help with simple calculation. Im building an estimate form, and have the fields:
"Total" (manually entered total amount)
"GrandTotal" (automatically calculates Total*1.07 to add 7% NJ sales tax)
Next I have 3 drop down boxes with payment options, and then text fields to receive $$ amounts based on drop-down selection:
"1st Payment Option" (options: 50% down, 100% paid in full, custom entry)
"2nd Payment Option" (options: 50% at completion, 25% in 14 days, custom entry)
"3rd payment Option" (options: 25% completion, custom entry)
For whichever options are selected in the drop-downs, i'd like the text fields to auto-fill.
(Text fields are titled "1st Payment", "2nd Payment", "Final Payment".
So how do I take the value from "GrandTotal" and get it to automatically be calculated by 50%, 25% or whatever and be filled into separate text fields?

It can be done with proper form design. You can use the any of the 3 calculation options but some may require some extra form fields and you can specify a numeric value to a drop down option that is different from the displayed text.

Multiple select options in 1 drop down box?

Hi,
I have created a form that works perfectly except for the fact that I need to provide multiple select options in the 1 drop down box; for example, I'm asking what product the customer is interested in and his answer could be multiple items such as Soap, Sanitizer, Hand Towels, Face Cloths etc...
At the moment, the customer can only select 1 item not multiple.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,
It is not possible to allow the user to select multiple items in a dropdown list.
You could use a list box, which does allow multiple selections.
Good luck,
Niall

Unable to select IS from the drop down list in message mapping

Hi,
i know that we can monitor 'Integration server' in message monitoring rather than choosing integration engine or adapter engine.
But in our existing land scapes i am unable to select IS from the drop down list in message mapping.
using PI 7.1 SP 08.
please let me know that we need to set up additional configurations settings to select IS form drop down list.
Regards,
Pradeep A.

Hi Pradeep,
please let me know that we need to set up additional configurations settings to select IS form drop down list.
There are no extra settings that needs to be done for this. I don't know whether you have noticed this, but IS option will only come up when you want to monitor the messages from the "Database" and not from the "Database overview" or "Archive".

Width tool presets drop down, extend the box

just wanted to extend the box of the width tool preset drop down. in the control panel.

Yes we can achieve this. But you need to use internal table in dropdownlist as show below:
Onintialization
 entry-name = 'IC'. entry-value = 'IC Text'.
 APPEND entry TO itab.
 entry-name = 'PM'. entry-value = 'PM Text'.
 APPEND entry TO itab.
Layout
 <htmlb:dropdownListBox id = "LIST"
 nameOfKeyColumn = "NAME"
 nameOfValueColumn = "VALUE"
 width = "300"
 selection = "<%= doc_type %>"
 onSelect = "DDLB1Event"
 table = "<%= itab %>" />
Page attribute:
entry TYPE IHTTPNVP
itab TYPE TIHTTPNVP
OnINputprocessing:
CALL METHOD REQUEST->GET_FORM_FIELD
 EXPORTING
 NAME = 'LIST'
 RECEIVING
 VALUE = doc_type.
delete itab where name = doc_type. " This will remove selected entry from Itab.
if doc_type = 'IC'
 entry-name = 'IC'. entry-value = 'IC Text'.
else.
 entry-name = 'PM'. entry-value = 'PM Text'.
endif.
insert entry to itab index 1.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

How to increase the width of the drop down list box in SSRS multi value parameter

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2012. I have a parameter, which accepts multi value.
The width of the drop down list box is very small, and the user need to scroll to the right to view the complete view of the content in the list box. But, if I don't use multi value then the length is good. Kindly suggest how to I increase the width
of the list box when it set to multi value parameter.
Thanks in advance,
Mahalengam Arumugam

Hi Mahalengam,
After testing the issue in my local environment, I can reproduce it. When the values for a single parameter are too long, the drop-down list of the parameter will automatically enlarge to an appropriate size. While the values for a multiple parameter are
too long, we need to scroll to the right to view the complete view of the content in the list box in SSRS 2008. But in SSRS 2008R2 and SSRS 2012, we can directly drag the black control at the bottom of the list box to control the size.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Hi Katherine,
Thanks for your reply. I understood we need to drag the list box to a maximum size to view the contents.
But, this seems an additional task, i know this is a limitation in the current version of SSRS and hope it will be resolved in the next versions.
Thanks for your efforts,

In Ver 4.0, what happened to the drop down selections for previous windows for the current tab?

In the previous versions of Firefox, in any open tab that had multiple windows open, i. e. from a search where you would go to many different windows, there was a drop down selection to the right of the "back/forward" button that would let you select prior windows ... and always the first one. That is no longer there. It was extremely helpful and I used frequently. Can you add it?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker
