Displaying file results in combo box

i have read a list of numbers from a file by using vector, and the results are displayed. However i wish to somehow display the results in a jcombo box or equivalent in the main super class, please help, thanks.

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("id.doc"));
         while (true) {
            String File = in.readLine();
          if (File == null)
                  break;
                 StringTokenizer parser = new StringTokenizer(File, " ");
           nxtname = parser.nextToken();
           System.out.println(nextt);This reads my id's from file, however I want to display the results into a jcombo box in my main super class, what would the code be to do this?
Thanks

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.

I need help adding a blank line to a Combo Box

I am recieving data from a database and displaying that in a
combo box with coldfusion/flash. The problem is I cannot figure out
how to add a blank line in flash so there is not a selected value
by default. If I do this:
DataGlue.bindFormatStrings(box1, getProcessIFC_re.result,
"#label#", "#data#");
Then there is a value by default...the first record in the
query is selected. I tried this:
box1.addItemAt(0, {data:"0", label:""});
box1.selectedIndex = 0;
That works but put an "undefined "label as the top and
selected value.
So how can I add a blank value or other value of my choice
that is not labeled "undefined"?
Thanks for any help

How to compare value of two Combo Box

I've two Combo Box(cbFirst & cbSecond). I want to compare the value that has been selected by the user and based on the result, output is displayed. In both Combo Box I've provided the value.
Here is my code:
var a:Number;
var b:Number;
function First(evt:Event):void{
    a = evt.target.value;
    trace(a);
cbFirst.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, First);
function Second(evt:Event):void{
    b = evt.target.value;
    trace(b);
cbSecond.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, Second);
If (a > b){
     trace("a is greater")
else
     trace(b is greater);
The trace statement inside the functions are working fine and the correct value of a & b is printed. But the comparison in the if statement doesn't seem to work. Could you please help me out.

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);

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How to fetch records from the database into a combo box?

Hi:
I´m really new with ABLBPM and I´m trying to fetch records from the database to display them into a combo box as valid values for a presentation but I´m using a dynamic method with this code:
for each row in SELECT campo1, campo2 from TABLE
do
solicitudes[] = [row.campo1, row.campo2]
end
return solicitudes
And the debugger says that SQL instructions can be used only in fuctions and procedures that are executed on the server.
Do you know another way to do it?
P.D. Sorry for my terrible english
Greetings

Hi Steve,

How to set current year,month as default value in combo box

hi, im newbie of xcelsius user

I create excel data like this
year___ | month_ | Product | revenue
02-04-09 | 02-04-09 | a | $4,154
03-04-09 | 03-04-09 | b | $6,813
04-05-09 | 04-05-09 | a | $9,875
05-06-09 | 05-06-09 | b | $6,813
06-04-10 | 06-04-10 | a | $6,813
07-04-10 | 07-04-10 | b | $9,875
08-06-10 | 08-06-10 | a | $9,875
22-06-10 | 22-06-10 | b | $6,813
Step2
Then i go format cell to format/custom date to year & month
Eg1: Year u2013> 02-04-09 convert to u2018YYYYu2019 (2009)
Eg2: Month u2013> 02-04-09 convert to u2018mmmmu2019 (April)
So output like this

2009 | April | b | $6,813
2009 | May | a | $9,875

2010 | April | a | $6,813
2010 | April | b | $9,875
2010 | June | a | $9,875
2010 | June | b | $6,813
But the problem is when i insert to combo box,use u201Cfilter Row u201D, i excpectation will display only 2009,2010
But Actual display the Year in combo box is duplicated :'(
so any solution ? and then only how to set current year & month as default value :'(

hi,
your created data

I create excel data like this
year___ | month_ | Product | revenue

07-04-10 | 07-04-10 | b | $9,875
08-06-10 | 08-06-10 | a | $9,875
22-06-10 | 22-06-10 | b | $6,813
In this, year and month both are same data, make the diffent data like year 2009, 2010 And month Jan, Feb, March, ...Etc

personLabel.setText(personalNum + " " + name);
/** This method only works if the file contains person

of the file to a combo box that is then added to the frame.

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

Prob in retaining spaces in Combo Box, PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

Hi
In the application that I am working on, I have developed a screen wherein I populate the names of some schemes from the database, in a combo box (<Select><option></option></Select>).
A particular scheme in the database has a multiple-word name with double spaces between the two words, or rather between the last of the two words and the brackets.
e.g. Help CRY (Child Relief & You).
Now, when this name is fetched fro the database, the double spaces between the CRY and ( are retained but when I display them in the combo box, i.e. between the <option> tags, somehow the double spaces disappear.
Further on, in my servlet, I retrieve the same scheme name from the combo box and try to fetch some other entries from the database. At that point, since one of the spaces has disappeared, there is no database match found for the scheme name selected and I'm unable to proceed. This problem arises in the case of any number of spaces between the words while populating the combo box. It however works fine when I remove the double spaces and retain a single space between the words.
Please let me know ASAP if combo boxes eat up such spaces and convert any number of spaces into a single space as a property or is something wrong with the JSP I have here. If this problem can never be resolved as a rule, then please tell me so that I can force the data providers to make sure they filter out such double spaces before sending the data to our databases.
I'll be very grateful if your can help me out asap as we have to put up the site at the earliest possible date.
Thanks a lot,
Soumya

why not you try to set the option value, like this:
<option value="Help CRY (Child Relief & You)">words you wan display</option>
Think if the display is not right it will not affect you from extracting the value.

Jas

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");

Error when populating combo box

I tried to display my data in combo box from my access table but my combo box is empty. Here's my code:
<% String temp="";
 Connection conn = null;
 try
 Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
 conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:admin_management");
 Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
 ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Virtual_host_name FROM Server_Info");
%>
<select name="Server_available">
<%
while (rs.next()) {
temp= rs.getString("Virtual_host_name"); %>
<%System.out.println("<OPTION VALUE=" + temp + ">" + temp + "\n");%>
<%}%>
</select>

<%
 catch(SQLException e)
 //out.println("SQLException: " + e.getMessage() + " ");
 while((e = e.getNextException()) != null)
 out.println(e.getMessage() + " ");
 catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
 out.println("ClassNotFoundException: " + e.getMessage() + " ");
 finally
 if(conn != null)
 try
 conn.close();
 catch (Exception ignored) {}
%>
Please help me asap. thanks!!

Instead of "System.out.println" try using "out.println"
