Development Request: Dynamic drop down of existing values
Hello All,
I have a business need for Excel like functionality for Table columns.
For each column in a table, for each edit text box can we have a self-building pull-down list of existing values (with the capability to enter a new value).
Example - If I have a table with Person information, columns say Last Name, Gender, State and Country.
Then for user entry, for all 4 columns, is a there a component that builds drop down values of all unique rows, display as drop down, if already existing users should be able to select it OR if not existing enter a new value and for next record new value also dynamically show up.
This kind of feature exists on Excel, greatly appreciated if some one tell me if this kind of feature/component exists on JHeadstart/ADF.
Regards
Ram
i m not sure if ADF supports dynamic lov.. one thing that i can think of is to set the bind variable at runtime so that we get to have a dynamic lov listed..

Dynamic Drop-down list - selected value can't be cleared ...
1. check out the following code of a dynamic drop down list using cursor :-
DECLARE
-- DROP-DOWN LIST OF ALL DEPARTMENTS
TEMPNUMBER NUMBER(2) := 2 ;
-- Because we've to initialize the list
-- at least with 1 item.
CURSOR C_DEPT IS
SELECT DEPT_ID FROM DEPARTMENT;
BEGIN
ABORT_QUERY ;
CLEAR_LIST('DEPTLIST');
FOR TEMP IN C_DEPT LOOP
ADD_LIST_ELEMENT( 'DEPTLIST', TEMPNUMBER, TEMP.DEPT_ID, TEMP.DEPT_ID );
:SRBLOCK.LST := TEMP.DEPTNO;
-- prev. line set the newly selected value
TEMPNUMBER := TEMPNUMBER + 1 ;
END LOOP;
END;
2. problem is as we've to atleast initialize with one list item... that item can't be cleared with CLEAR_LIST.
3. how can i actually clear that and still use cursor. because i've searched forum for this thing and found all those code not working ... for my project ...
4. quick help needed ...Hi Omar,
I have solution for you
To populating or refreshing the lists you can use
two procedures:
One of them - generic, which can be used for all types of list
Another is specific which contain a SQL statement to retrieve the data for
particular list.
1. Specific procedure:
PROCEDURE GET_DEPARTMENT_LIST
IS
sql_stat VARCHAR2(32767);
ret_code NUMBER;
BEGIN
-- SQL Statement for Drop-down List
-- (must have two columns for label and value - both VARCHAR2)
sql_stat := ' SELECT DEPARTMENT_NAME,TO_CHAR(DEPT_ID)'
||' FROM SCHEMA.DEPARTMENT';
POPULATE_MY_LIST('BLOCK.DEPARTMENT_LIST',sql_stat,ret_code);
END;
2. Generic procedure:
PROCEDURE POPULATE_MY_LIST
(item_name VARCHAR2,
sql_stat VARCHAR2,
out_code OUT NUMBER)
IS
rg_id RECORDGROUP;
rg_name VARCHAR2(100);
ret_code NUMBER;
item_id ITEM;
BEGIN
item_id := FIND_ITEM(item_name);
IF ID_NULL(item_id) THEN
out_code := -1;
RETURN;
END IF;
--Creating Record Group with Unique Name
rg_name := 'RG_'||SUBSTR(item_name,INSTR(item_name,'.',1)+1,LENGTH(item_name));
--Checking Record Group Name for existance
rg_id := FIND_GROUP(rg_name);
--If Group does exist - delete it
IF NOT ID_NULL(rg_id) THEN
DELETE_GROUP(rg_id);
END IF;
--Creating Record Group
rg_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(rg_name,sql_stat);
ret_code := POPULATE_GROUP(rg_id);
IF (ret_code <> 0) THEN
out_code := ret_code;
RETURN;
END IF;
POPULATE_LIST(item_name,rg_id);
IF NOT FORM_SUCCESS THEN
out_code := -2;
RETURN;
ELSE
out_code := 0;
END IF;
DELETE_GROUP(rg_id);
END;
Hope it help.

Dynamic Drop-Down Menu Solution
Hi All,
After spending a lot of time trying to find a good solution for a dynamic drop-down menu, I end up writing my own.
The solution is for a list of items, having ITEM as the primary key of the table and ITEMDESCRIPTION as the list of options for the user to select.
The steps are:
1) JavaBean to return a ResultSet;
2) A custom tag to build a HTML SELECT;
3) A .tld file to declare the custom tag;
4) web.xml where the custom tag mapping resides;
4) A JSP to illustrate how to call the custom tag;
Hoping this will save lots of time to others
Cheers

However, If I'm using Model-View-Control approach, then what's the way of applying these codes
to each indivisual file? Say, I have 20 files and only 4 of the 20 need to be treated as they like
to have drop down menu in particular column(s)??? How could the custom tag be applied as the
controller tells the view to present these special treat? or it is not possible (I have to treat each
file, filtered by controller -- one by one as it encounters the special need)?

How do I enable multiple dynamic drop down boxes?
I'm using Windows 2000, Java SDK 2 Standard, Tomcat, Apache, Microsoft Access and Macromedia Dreamweaver Ultradev 4.
With UltraDev I'm trying to create a jsp page that has more than one dynamic drop down box or more than one dynamic select list box.

How to populate data from dynamic drop down list to the text field
Hi,
I tried to populate data from dynamic drop down list to city field. I would like to concat data from drop down list.When selecting add button to add the item and select item from drop down list, data should be displayed in the text field. However, Please help. I spent alot of time to make it works I am not successful.
Please see the link below.
https://acrobat.com/#d=SCPS0eVi6yz13ENV0cnUdw
Thanks for your help
CindyHi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

Filling dynamic drop down in adobe interactive form( webdynpro ABAP)
HI all,
Im new in Webdynpro ABAP, my requirement is to fill drop down list in adobe interactive form. i created adobe form and its working fine.

I created sample table in same form and i binded same value to table, that time its executing fine.
can u please tell me solution for this Scenario.
Thanks

Edited by: hemachandran R on Sep 12, 2008 2:27 PMhi,
My requirement, is to use dynamic drop down in dynamic table. I am using webdynpro abap.
i populated the value in drop down.
Its working fine but the problem is how to fill the default value in drop down. because i want to bind the default value which im getting specify value from the table.because each row
im getting different values, like first row
CAR
, that CAR want to fill as a default value in drop down and second row as
BIKE
that BIKE want to fill as default value in drop down ( example drop down contain car , bike , cycle).
In adobe form i binded like this
$record.DATANODE.DATA[*].DNA_RATING
i dont know whether this one is correct or wrong .
im getting default value as empty.
please give me some solution how to do this.its very urgent
thanks

Dynamic drop down list in Adobe forms
I have created a drop down list using enumerated drop down list from webdynpro native tab and binded in the object palette by giving $record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[]* in the list items dynamically.DESCR is the field in the internal table into which i fetched data from the database table .I have written this code in a BADI.I dont know whether my form's display type is activex or native? I am not getting any values in the drop down list.can anybody please tell me what might be missing and how should i know whether my form is ActiveX or Native?
My form is called from portal so i have used BADI to connect portal to formHi sarang,
I have done a dynamic drop down list in which DESCR field comes from database table and pops into the drop down dynamically. I was working for a PCR scenario so the adobe form was called from portal.I will tell u all the required steps.It might work for u as it is working for me:
1.In the form:
I used two elements from library first is a "ENUMERATED DROP DOWN LIST NO SELECT" from web-dynpro native tab and second is "ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE" from ISR controls tab.Place them one on other inthe form.
For drop down list the setting are:
In object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS put :$record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].in ITEMS TEXT write text in ITEMS KEY write key.
In binding,in default binding put $record.DESCR.DATA[*].FIELD.
For text element the settings are:
In binding,default binding put Normal.
when we select ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE it automatically comes with calculated read only int he value tab.so open script editor and place the below code:
$record.DESCR.DATA.FIELD (in calculate).
2.Now the code in BADI is as follows:
In BADI we have to write the code for drop down list in the METHOD "SCENARIO_SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES"
As i didnt change the standard BADI i added an enhancement spot in which i wrote a function module which fills ADDITIONAL_DATA. and the below code fills the ADDITIONAL_DATA .
DATA: t_t572b TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t572b WITH HEADER LINE,
t_t554t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t554t WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM t572b INTO TABLE t_t572b WHERE sprsl EQ 'E'.
CLEAR ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
LOOP AT t_t572b.
ADD 1 TO ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_KEY'.
ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descd.
APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_LABEL'.
ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descr.
APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
CLEAR t_t572b.
ENDLOOP.
For DESCR field the we have to declare DESCR_KEY and DESCR_LABEL in the place holders for key values and palce holders for default values in characteristics tab(where all the fields for the form are defined) of ur respective scenario.(where ur pcr scenario is defined)
Hope ur problem got resolved.
Please let me know if any doubts.
If ur form is not called from portal and u want a dynamic drop down list the difference is put a data drop down list and in object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS select the field into which u populated the data from the database table (this code shud be written in code Initialization in the respective interface) and in ITEMS TEXT put $ in ITEMS KEY put $.and in binding as we normally do bind it to the respective field in which the data is populated from database table.
It should work. -

On basis of drop down by key values i want to enable and disable ui elements is wda
How to enable and disable ui elements on basis of drop down by key values as i show in screen shot i have 3 values in drop down by key on basis of those values i need to enable and disable ui elements in webdynpro abap kindly reply back
Hi Sreedhara,
There are many tutorials on SCN for learning Web Dynpro ABAP. If the following steps don't make sense to you, please do a search for some tutorials and read through the tutorial materials. Hopefully the tutorials will help you to become familiar with some of the basics of Web Dynpro ABAP.
Here is how to enable or disable a UI element upon selection from a DropDownByKey.
In your view context, create a context attribute of type wdy_boolean. For now, let's call this attribute IS_ENABLED
In your view layout, bind the enabled property of the UI element to the context attribute IS_ENABLED.
In your view actions, create an action-- let's call it SET_ENABLED-- and bind this action to the DropDownByKey element's onSelect event in the view layout.
In the event handler method for the SET_ENABLED action, use the Code Wizard to read the value of the DropDownByKey selected value, then use the Code Wizard again to set the value of context attribute IS_ENABLED to either true or false.
Now when a value is selected from the DropDownByKey, the SET_ENABLED action will be triggered and the IS_ENABLED context attribute will be set to either true or false. Since your UI element's enabled property is bound to this true or false value via the context binding, the UI element will change to enabled or disabled.
Good luck!
Cheers,

I have to create a form that would have dynamic drop down menus, and then depending on those choices populate a number of fields.
Here is the basic structure
Division ( 5 choices )
Center ( dependent on choice of division )
Dept ( dependent on the choice of division and center )
The department will decide what charge codes will appear on the form.
I have been building dynamic drop downs with if else statements, but I really think I need an array. I know they are going to change something and then I will have lots of changes to do. Updating an array sounds so much easier. Something like:
Division, Center, Dept, Costcode1, costcode2, costcode3
Can I do this? How do I do this. I saw a thread about inserting an array as a variable in the hierarchy, but I can't seem to find how. And then how do I reference it once its built
Thanks in advance.

--urgent Can I use table data to create a dynamic drop down menu?
Hi,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table driven dynamic drop down menu? The deadline is tomorrow but I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not any clue. Can any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on?
Many thanks.
JenniferThanks you very much for the help Kevin.
Currently my company is using htp.p style to create web app and using the dynamic menu in a similar way as you explained. Now they want to move to Apex and still keep dynamic menu functionality. After reading your response and research I have done I think I can embed it into Apex application by creating the similar table and PL/SQL package and let Apex to call the PL/SQL package when the application is first called. However may I ask you a question about how to call such pl/sql procedure in Apex? .
The current application has the following URL, from which the procedure pkg_main.print_menu is called and html home page with dynamic menu is displayed.
Http://app server:1234/pls/applicationname/pkg_main.print_menu?p_new_window=N
BUT what about the Apex? The Apex URL format is like the following, where 11563 and 1 is application id and page number. Assume that 1 is home page, but HOW the procedure is called, from WHERE?

Dynamic table with dynamic drop-down list values
Hi,
I need to display a dynamic table with 2 columns on an interactive form.
My Context is defined as below:
Root
StudentData 0..n
StudentName
StudentCourses 0..n
Text
Value
The 1st column should display student name, 2nd column should display student courses. The courses will be different for each student. I populated the context properly. I checked it by printing them. My DDL is bound to "Student Courses".
When there is one row -> The DDL is populated with the courses of student 1 (as there is only one).
When there are more rows -> The DDLs for all the students are populated with all the courses of all the students.
I want to see the data populated like:
TEXTFIELD DROP-DOWN LIST
Student 1------Student1-Course1
Student1-Course2
Student1-Course3
Student 2------Student2-Course1
Student2-Course2
Student2-Course3
I tried to do this in plain web dynpro using SVS.. it is also working similarly.
I have set the singleton property of nodes "StudentData" and "StudentCourses" to false.
Could any one tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks
RamRam,
I'm not sure how much this will help, but I know I had the same problem as you when I tried to get a similar thing working, but I can't remember which of the many changes I made fixed the problem, so I'll just show you my code and perhaps you can see if anything is different than yours.
Here's where I'm creating my dropdown - in my case EastNew_RegOut is the same as your StudentData, and RateTypeDropValues is the same as your StudentCourses (the comments in the code are not meant to sound bossy to you, this is actually an example piece of code that other developers in my company "steal", so I have to put very specific instructions in there!):
int nodeSize = wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().size();
for (int i = 0; i < nodeSize; i++) {
//create an element called "table", that's the element at i. So, basically it's a row. Maybe I should have
//called it "row" instead of table.
IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement table = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().getElementAt(i);
//this line of code just executes an rfc that finds out what rates need to be in the dropdown for this particular row
executeRateTypeDropdown(rateCategory, table.getNum(), wdContext.currentEastNew_MeterOutElement().getReggrp());
//clear out what's already in there before we re-populate it.
table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().invalidate();
//now, I'm looping through all the values in the *actual* rate type dropdown (the one that's an RFC, populated by the above "execute" method)
for (int j = 0; j < wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().size(); j++) {
//for each element in the *actual* Rate type dropdown, I'm going to create an element in my node that I created
//and set the values from the *actual* one as the values in my node.
IPublicDeviceExchange.IRateTypeDropValuesElement element = wdContext.createRateTypeDropValuesElement();
IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement rateTypeOut = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().getElementAt(j);
element.setText(rateTypeOut.getText());
element.setValue(rateTypeOut.getRatetype());
//here's another key - notice how I don't say wdContext.nodeRateTypeDropValues() - it's the one that's
//directly off that table I created earlier - the thing that's essentially a row in my newReg table.
//So, what I'm doing here is adding that new element I created to the dropdown FOR THAT ROW!
//(btw, if you're trying to duplicate this, and this method does not exist for your "table" object, it's
//probably because you didn't listen to me above and you didn't create your node with the singleton property
//set to false.)
table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().addElement(element);
As for my layout... my table is bound to the EastNew_RegOut node, and the column with the dropdown is bound to RateTypeDropValues.Value (that's probably obvious, but there you have it anyway)
Finally, in my context, EastNew_RegOut is singleton = true (I was surprised about this, actually, I would have assumed it was false) with a selection of 0..1 and RateTypeDropValues has singleton set to false with a selection of 0..1
I hope that helps to some degree!
