Drop down list button is narrow (how do I change it)?

I have a drop down list on my Designer 8 form. When viewing the form in acrobat or adobe reader the grey button that you click to get the list is really narrow. Is there any way to change the width of that little button?
Thanks for the help!

Are you using pm-utils? If not, you should look into it--It's a super-easy way of managing suspend/hibernation:

Once configured, you can simply bind a key (or configure the acpi daemon) to execute the following command:
/usr/sbin/pm-hibernate
You'll need to execute that as root, or use sudo (which is outlined in the wiki article).
Good luck!
thanks, pm-utils looks nice, however, I'm having problems with the button itself, not hibernate, I can do that just fine with the hibernate script (I'm replacing it with pm-utils though), no mater how much I press it, or how much I've messed with acpid, I still cannot make it do anything... btw, is there something that catches the button as a program, so I can know if the module is getting info from it?

  • Drop down list button in the WDP Abap interactive form

    Hi Gurus,
    I wanted to implement the drop down list button in the WDP Abap interactive form. Once the users clicks on the drop down button, an RFC should be called and display the details under the drop down button. Please give me the logic with code. Its very urgent...please help me. Please note that it is in WDP Abap interactive forms. We are using NW2004S, ECC6.0.

    hi david,
    all the UI elements in the adobe form are generally connected to your web-dynpro Context.
    whatever you type in the online adobe form is reflected in the respective context attributes of the dynpro Context of the view where "ur Interactive form UI element is".
    that means you can yourself fill the contents of ur interactive form by working on the get/set methods of the context attributes.
    Likewise you can clear the form by setting all context attributes to blank eg ""

    Hello,
    you have to use ZCI form to use DDLB in WD-ABA. The content of the DDLB has to be present at rendering time, there is no dinamic call when you click the "dropdown".
    The attribut you map to the DDLB has to be an element with a value-set, and the value set has to contain the text / value pairs.
    >> this will be displayed when you click the dropdown.
    Best regards,

  • How do I populate a drop-down list from a schema variable

    I'm a novice programmer and new to the LiveCycle environment. I need help to populate a drop-down list in LiveCycle from a hard coded variable within my form's schema. I have a list of 28 names (the number of names and actual names change annually). That list is used over 30 times within a form for different selections. Since the list rarely changes, I would prefer to hard code it and make changes to the schema when they occur.
    If I can't find a solution, I will be updating over 30 separate drop-down list objects each time there is a change to the list.
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Chris

    Can you post your schema to [email protected] and I will have a look. You will also need to indicate which node in the schema is supposed to populate the dropdown.

  • Firefox 3 used to have a drop down list under the back button for recent pages. How do I get this in FF4?

    FF3 used to have a drop down list of the most recent pages that a tab had displayed under the back arrow button. FF4 does not appear to have this. How can I see history of what's been displayed in the tab say four or five pages back?

    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

  • How can i redirect 5 choice options from a drop down list into 5 separate text fields?

    I have a number of drop down lists which push one of 5 choices to a text field on another page.
    I want to be able to push each choice from one drop down field to a separate field, so that it is not possible to duplicate the drop down choice.
    The resulting page is going to be locked.
    What script do I need to use to send each of the five choices specifically to five separate text fields?
    Thanks for the insight.

    Hi Paul,
    I've had a look at the sample script you posted. I'm not sure how to make it work with the form I'm creating. (I sent it to you earlier.) Would you mind setting one of the fields up on my form so that I can get an idea of how to then push the choices set up on the "visible on screen only" to the textfields which are locked on the visible page? Do i lock the fields in the same way?
    Will I need to create a new script for each of the arrays I'll be creating? for example, myScript1, myScript2, my Script3....
    Why do i need a reset button?

    Hi
    What part is your biggest problem?? I am not experienced in getting data out of a database, but the way to get a variable amount of data to show in a drop down menu, i have just messed around with for some time and heres how i solved it... In my app, what i needed was, a initial empty drop down list, and then using input from a text-field, users could add elements to a Vector that was passed to a JComboBox. Heres how.
    package jcombobox;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.Vector;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Main extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
        private Vector<SomeClass> list = new Vector<SomeClass>();
        private JComboBox dropDownList = new JComboBox(list);
        private JButton addButton = new JButton("add");
        private JButton remove = new JButton("remove");
        private JTextField input = new JTextField(10);
        private JPanel buttons = new JPanel();
        public Main() {
            addButton.addActionListener(this);
            remove.addActionListener(this);
            input.addActionListener(this);
            buttons.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
            buttons.add(addButton);
            buttons.add(remove);
            add(dropDownList, "North");
            add(input, "Center");
            add(buttons, "South");
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            if (e.getSource() == addButton) {
                list.addElement(new SomeClass(input.getText()));
                input.setText("");
            } else if (e.getSource() == remove) {
                int selected = dropDownList.getSelectedIndex();
                dropDownList.removeItemAt(selected);
        public void init(String[] args) {
            setSize(400,300);
            getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            getContentPane().add(new Main());
    }And that "SomeClass" is show here
    package jcombobox;
    public class SomeClass {
        private String text;
        public SomeClass(String input) {
            text = input;
        public String toString() {
            return text;
    }One of the things i struggled a lot with was to get the dropdown menu to show some usefull result. If the list just contains class references it will show the memory code that points to that class. Thats where the toString cones in handy. But it took me some time to figure that one out, a laugh here is welcome as it should have been obvious :-)
    When the app is as simple as this one, using a <String> vector would have been easier, but this is just to demonstrate how to place classes in a vector and get some usefull info out of it, hope this answered some of your question :-)
    The layout might have been easier to write, than using the toppanel created by the JApplet and then the two additional JPanels, but it was just a small app brewed together in 15 minutes. Please comments on my faults, so that i can learn of it.
    If you need any of the code specified more, please let me know. Ill be glad to,

  • How do I remove an entry from the "Store Files" drop down list in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2

    The dropdown list "Store Files" in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2 displays the history of the entries previously added to the list. Some of the entries are no longer valid and I'm trying to delete them but I can't find a way to do this. This is a screenshot. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Once again - the Jive system ate my bullet points and messed up the formatting
    Is the MacOS X version in your signature correct? Then you cannot be using Aperture 3.3.2?
    You should not be seeing duplicate entries in the "Store Files" pop-up menu. This looks like your Aperture Preferences file is corrupted and needs fixing.
    Quit Aperture (and log off and on again, if you are running MacOS X 10.7 or later)
    Then reveal your User Library (from the Finder's main menu bar, the "Go" menu. Hold down the options-key until the library apears in the drop-down menu)
    In the Library folder select the "Preferences folder and locate the file "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist"
    Now you can either
    remove the com.apple.Aperture.plist file to the Desktop, to force Aperture to create a new one, but you will have to set again your Preferences from the "Preferences" panel,
    or make a backup copy of the file and edit it, if you are an experienced programmer and have Xcode installed. To fix the drop-down list you need to edit the item "RecentReferenceFolders" and delete the redundant folder names. Enter "recent" into the search field to find it quickly. If you click an item in the list, plus/minus buttons should appear. But only try this, if you know how to edit property lists, otherwise it will be much safer to delete the faulty list and to set your preferences again from the "Preferences" panel.

  • How to make default value in a drop down list

    Hi,
          I have created a drop down list using Selection-Screen code. I have three values in it. I would like to make one of the option as a default value. How to achieve it?
    I am working on module pool program. I have few screens as a part of my program. I have created print button on tool bar of one screen but that print button is appearing on the other screens too. How to avoid it?
    Help would be appreciated...
    Thanks

    1) let drop down box be g_dd.
      if g_dd is initial.
      g_dd = option2.
      endif.
    2)
    by default same pf-status is used by all the screens in the same program
    if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
    set pf-status 'abc' excluding 'fcode_of_button'
    endif.
    or
    data: git_fcode type sy-ucomm with header line.
    git_fcode = 'fcode_of_button'.
    append git_fcode.
    if sy-dynnr = 'screen_no'. " for screens for which you do not want button to come
    set pf-status excluding git_fcode
    endif.

  • How can I add more than five URLs to the address bar drop down list?

    How many URLs can the Awesome Bar hold in the drop down list? I was showing five, but when I tried to add a sixth by cutting and pasting the URL in the address bar and clicking "Enter", it did not show up. Can the Awesome Bar hold more than five?

    It is possible that you have an extension that sets this value to a lower setting than the current default of 12.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

    Hi,
    I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
    How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
    The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
    <form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
         <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
         <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
              <option value="1">username1</option>
              <option value="2">username2</option>
              <option value="3">username3</option>
              <option value="4">username4</option>
         </select>

         <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
    </form>
    Could somebody help me please?
    Thanks.

    I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
    <html>
         <head>
              <title>Test Page</title>
              <script type="text/javascript">
                   function userID(){
                        //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                        var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                        window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
              </script>
         </head>
         <body>
              <form id="form1">
                   <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                        <option>Select a User</option>
                        <option value="1">User 1</option>
                        <option value="2">User 2</option>
                        <option value="3">User 3</option>
                        <option value="4">User 4</option>
                   </select>

  • Drop down lists and email buttons

    I am creating a form and I have about twenty items in a drop down list. I was wondering if and how I can set it so each item selected will cause an email button I have to change address. i.e item 1 sets the email button to [email protected] and item 2 sets the button to [email protected] I think it has something to do with binding but I only have basic training so I am lost. Any help that you can give will be greatly appreciated . Thank you in advance

    As mentioned, you can´t do that in InDesign but fortunately it´s fairly easy task to do in Acrobat Professional. You didn´t mention what are you sending, just an empty email that sender can fill in email client, whole PDF as attachment or some form data from PDF... all those options are possible by few lines of javascript in Acrobat side.
    I made you a quick sample which just opens up an email client, populates email address based on choise that user has made in combobox and some custom subject and body meassage text. You can find it from my dropbox: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17227987/sampleform.pdf
    There´s only two formfields in that PDF; combobox for choosing email recipient (AA = [email protected], BB = [email protected] etc) and submit button. Check javascript code from
    -combobox´s properties > Validate tab and
    -button´s properties > Actions > Run a javascript.
    In combobox, small javascript sets the myemail variable´s value based on the choise user makes. In Button there´s small javascript that triggers the email client and uses the value of myemail variable as a target email address.
    ps. this sample probably works only in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. I have no idea how for instance MacOS Preview supports PDF javascript, probably not very well....=)
