Drop Down List functionailty changes with EHP4 / NW EP1

Since applying ERP Enhancement Pack 4 and NW EP1 we are having a number of issues with the rendering of our Web Dynpro ABAP Applications. The main problem that users are complaining about is the drop down functionality. Previously users could tab into a drop down list and start typing and the list would display starting at the letter they had first typed in. This no longer happens. You have to have either mouse clicked into the field and then start typing or you can tab and press f4 and then start typing. The users are finding this very annoying. Does anyone know how this can be fixed or do we just have to live with it now??
Thanks in advance.

I searched for the note that Thomas suggested and found note 1467003 - Corrections for unified rendering up to SAP_BASIS 701/6 XIII. However, it wasn't realeased for download. So our basis team had to apply each note seperately. Here are the notes they applied:
0001411235 Unified rendering corrections up to SAP_BASIS 701/06 I
0001424635 Corrections for unified rendering up to SAP_BASIS 701/06 II
0001428005 Corrections for unified rendering up to SAP_BASIS 701/06 III

0001464613 Corrections for unified rendering up to SAP_BASIS 701/6 XII
0001467003 Corrections for unified rendering up to SAP_BASIS 701/6 XIII
Unfortunately these notes did not fix our problem with the drop downs and it still remains. Unless there is another patch, I am probably going to have to raise an OSS note with SAP or wait until Enhancement Pack 2!

Drop Down Lists that connect with eachother

I'm trying to make a form in which I have the following fields:
To:
Company:
Email:
Fax:
Now I want to do a drop down list because I have several contacts, but I want it so that when I chose the person in the "To:" field, it will put the company, email and fax for that person in the rest of the fields. I put the details into drop down menus for the rest of the fields but I can't get it to relate joe shmoe to his email [email protected] and so on.
HELP!

Launch Designer and open your form. Once it comes up Click on the Windows menu and ensure the Scripting Editor is enabled. Below the toolbars but above the form display is a blank area that is the scripting editor. At the top of that area are dropdowns that allow you to pick events as well as scripting language and location. Click on the dropdown that you want to code. Make sure the language in the script editor is set to Javascript and it is set to run at Client. In the event dropdown, choose Change. In the blank area you can add your code. Note that the script editor will show you the code that is associated with the object that has focus.

TextBox does not update when drop down list selection changes

I have drop down list the user can select a client name from. Once the client is selected and the "view report" button is clicked it the report has a textbox that displays the Client name or it is supposed too.
The report will display the first client name but any subsequent client name does not display on the first. I am pretty sure that is because I have chosen the "Dataset" where the both the "values' have "first" in front of the field.
How do I get the textbox to update to match as each client is chosen from the drop down list? I cannot use the report "parameter" I am passing to the stored procedure because the drop down list's parameter is the database name not the client
name.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sue

Okay, sorry but I am just getting back to my report. I still cannot display the Client Name in a text box at the top of my report. The textbox must be dynamic because my client name can be one of many that is picked from a drop down list box.
I added a textbox and tried to use the "join" with my Parameter - clientname.
In the textbox expression I used the following:
=JOIN(First(Fields!ClientName.Value,
"GetDatabaseName"),",")
I got this error message:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun Textbox1.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0] contains an error: Overload resolution failed because no Public 'Join' can be called with these arguments:
    'Public Shared Function Join(SourceArray As String(), [Delimiter As String = ]) As String':
        Argument matching parameter 'SourceArray' cannot convert from 'String' to 'String()'.
    'Public Shared Function Join(SourceArray As System.Object(), [Delimiter As String = ]) As String':
        Argument matching parameter 'SourceArray' cannot convert from 'String' to 'Object()'.
Preview complete -- 0 errors, 1 warnings
I also tried setting up a "filter" on the clientname using these instructions
Right-click the dataset (GetDatabaseName) to open the Dataset Properties.
Click Filters in the left pane, add a filter like below:
Expression:[DBName]
Operator: In(multiple-parameter) or =(signal-parameter)
Value:[@DBName]
I get an error message too which I am not even going to display.
I can set it up and run it as long as I don't want to change the value in the "textbox" to match the value in the drop down list. I am totally frustrated at this point. Why won't it work?
Simply put - I want the value selected in my drop down list box to match the value in my textbox at the top of my report if drop down list says "Susie" then I want "Susie" in my textbox or if drop down changes to "Bobby" then I want Bobby to show up in my
textbox when I generate my report.
Any suggestions of what else I may need to try?
Thanks for the help.

How to use value in a drop-down list box as "With these Values" parameter?

Hello, new user.
I have a drop-down list box on Page 1, upon which the user can choose a study number. The List Box is named "P1_STUDY_NBR".
Then I have a list, one entry of which goes to my master-detail form, which is Page 6. I would like it to go to the study number that the user choose on Page 1.
In my target on the create/edit list entry, I put in "Page in this Application", "Page 6", then in Set these items, I put in
P6_STUDY_NBR
My question is what to use in With these values, where I want the contents of the P1_STUDY_NBR. I tried:
&P1_STUDY_NBR
and that does not work. If I put in one of the study numbers, like 336-00, then it does work, but I want it to pass the study number the user chooses in the list box. How do I refer to the contents of P1_STUDY_NBR?
-Mary

Yes, that does work, thanks. I'm now getting the default value I was putting in yesterday rather than an error message, so there must be something loading it, but I'll hunt around for what process might be doing that, or try re-creating the master-detail form again.

Drop Down list in table with data from database table

Hi,
I have created an interactive form in WD ABAP.
In Context tab I have created the nodes as follows:
ZSOHEADER node with cardinality 1..1
|-> MATERIAL node with cardinality 0..n. Under MATERIAL node there are 2 attrib. MAKTX and MATNR.
I am fetching data from MARA table into an internal table IT_MARA.
The node MATERIAL is bound to internal table IT_MARA.
I have created a table with property ' Body rows vary depending on data ' .
I have only one row in table. The first cell of the row is a drop down field.
I have bind the field to the node MATERIAL->DATA->MAKTX.
Now the issue is even though I have created only one row in my table, in preview it is creating as many rows in the table as the no.of records in the internal table.
I want only one row with the drop down list containing all values of the internal table.
Kindly suggest what to do.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi,
In the WebDynpro Context, in the main node create another node like A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes TEXT and VALUE.
Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
And use the below code snippet sample in your program, i.e. code this under respective method of the webdynpro.
*Declare the TYPES
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
TEXT TYPE SOMETYPE,
VALUE TYPE SOMETYPE,
END OF TY_UOM.
*Define Internal Table and work area.
DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0,
WA_TABLE TYPE TY_TABLE.
SELECT TEXT VALUE FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
And in the Adobe Form Layout
Go to Menu of the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
Tools>Options..>DataBinding
In that window you just check the Show Dynamic properties Check Box.
Now for the Drop Down go the binding tab in object palette and click on the list items and there specify the Internal Table and specify the text as the internal table text field and value as internal table value field.
OR
From the WebDynpro Native Library Palette use the Value Help Drop Down and in object pallette goto binding tab and provide the form interface binding. Before this in the WebDynpro goto Context and for the particular field under the properties provide the search help as dictionary search help and specify the name of the dictionary search help.
OR
We have another method of setting the Text and Value to the DDL directly in the WebDynpro by coding in the methods, I dont have much knowledge on this.

Drop Down List in ALV with Event handler

Hi All ,
I have created an ALV grid with a dropdown as one of the columns. This all works fine, except that I want to be able to react to a change in the value of each line's dropdown the next column values should change according to the user selection in the 1st column .
Is this possible?
As an example, I have a table of records with one column as a dropdown called " Replace Function Module " and in 2nd column i have call function of that Replace Function Module , If a change in " Replace Function Module " should change the call function of in the 2nd column .
I am using these objects lvc_t_drop , lvc_s_drop and the method " set_drop_down_table ",
Please Can any 1 tel me how to do this with any event handler ar any other way !

Hi,
You need to use event handler for this. Check if the below link gives some direction.
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cda3992d-0e01-0010-90b2-c4e1f899ac01|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cda3992d-0e01-0010-90b2-c4e1f899ac01]
I guess you should create a method inside which you call the FM using the FM name from the selected cell in ALV.
I have not tried it out, but its worth a try.
Hope this helps!

Saumya

What i want is if i select a department in DEPT2, in the next drop down list(DEPT3) i want to see only the departement corresponding to the one i selected in dept2. Please need help.
Thanks

Hi
First of all you need to be using Discoverer 10g or 11g Plus not 9.0.4. Assuming you have the right version you need to present the parameters in the correct order. You can change the order on the parameters screen by selecting Tools | Parameters from the toolbar. You then use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to place them in the right order so that DEPT1 is offered first, followed by DEPT2, then DEPT3 and then DEPT4.
Next, you need to check the radion button on the bottom of the right-hand side that allows linking of parameters then you make DEPT2 dependent upon DEPT1, with DEPT3 dependent upon DEPT2 and so on.
While this works without hierarchies it works best when you have a hierarchy in place and even better when there is a composite index on the 4 items.
Best wishes

Firefox tab to fields and drop down lists with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Has any one else noticed some problems after upgrading to OS X 10.5? It seems I can't tab to every field, such as the "Keep me signed in for today" checkbox on ebay's login page. I used to tab to it before upgrading. I'm also tabbing past some drop down lists where you select the state where you live in sign up pages. And before you suggest it, I have already turned on "All Controls" in System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse. I don't think that affects Firefox anyway since it is a system controls option and doesn't affect the actions in a browser window.
Also, some drop down lists no longer drop down. I can focus on the list and even change the value using the up and down arrows, but the full list is no longer displayed. Again, this changed with the upgrade to Leopard.
If any one has experienced these specific issues or something similar please share your thoughts and solutions.
Mark

I am also having the drop down problem on my macbook, it's getting really annoying. On top of that, twice today (i just got the macbook three days ago) my keyboard will just stop working- i cannot type in firefox nor in finder or word.

Hello,
I am trying to use the data drop-down list from the custom library. I enter the name of my data connection and the other 2 variables in quotes when they are initialized, just like the example says to, but it still doesn't work. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,

I am having trouble (sleepless nights) with populating a drop-down list from an Access Database. The result is: I only get the first record from the data connection. So the connection works but I cannot go through the other records. Maybe there is an other way to do this.
I am trying to selectively fill a form with data from an MS-access database.
I hope someone can help me.

If you email the access DB and the form to [email protected], I will try to take a look at it for you.

How to change the width of the auto complete drop down list?

Hi,
I implemented an autocomplete mechanism, using ICompletionSession and ICompletionSourceProvider. I have an issue with the size of the drop-down list opened when I use this autocomplete mechanism. The width of the autocomplete list remains the same, even
if the strings displayed change. This is apparent especially when I hit "backspace" on the already typed string, while the drop down list is opened: the deletion of the last character allows for more completion strings to be used, but since the drop
down width does not change, the longer strings appear cut.
Is there a way to force the drop down list to recalculate its width?
Yoel

I don't think there's any way, even VS itself can't do that you know, and the interfaces don't have such kind of events or properties.

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
Ram

Ram,
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!

Help with Hidden Drop Down Lists in RBList subforms

I have created a form that contains 3 isolated Radio Button lists, each with hidden subforms that are unique per each button.
Two of my RBLists and subforms work perfectly, showing hidden Drop Down List options and other fields as they should when a button is selected.
However, RBList3 presents the Drop Down lists as user entry fields only. Each hidden subform in RBList3 contains one drop down menu and one text box for instructions.
I've used the same javascript to hide/show hidden fields when buttons are selected. All settings seem to match up. Here is a sample of my code:
if(RBList3.F.rawValue != 2)
    this.presence = "hidden";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
else if(RBList3.F.rawValue == 2)
    this.presence = "visible";
    newsubform.presence = "hidden";
Does anyone have any suggestions for how to make my Drop Down Lists in RBList3 show as functional Drop lists?
I have attached the form for reference.

Hi Paul,
I see that the code works for radio button G selection in the change event. However, what I really need to happen...is for the RBList options to be present on the screen without any subform data until the user clicks button E, F or G. If either E or F is selected, then the drop list and the text box would pop up as you currently have them placed on screen.
My original problem was that the EdgeDropDown2 list loses its functionality when wrapped in a hidden subform (i.e. SubformE or SubformF).
Can I add code to the change event to make EdgeDropDown2 and PanzDrawTxt appear only if either E or F are chosen. The code you wrote below works only for G selection.
if(this.rawValue != 3)
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "visible";
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "visible";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "hidden";
}else {
    PanzDrawTxt.presence = "hidden";
    EdgeDropDown2.presence = "hidden";
    EdgePanelChkBxTxt.presence = "visible";

Changing drop down list appearance

I was wonder how I can add additional attributes to a drop down list. I would like to add a different color to each option in the box. Something similar to the following code:
<style type="text/css">
.bg1{background-color:FF0000}
.bg2{background-color:00FF00}
.bg3{background-color:0000FF}
</style>
<form action="" method="post">
<select name="foo">
     <option class="bg1">red</option>
     <option class="bg2">green</option>
     <option class="bg3">blue</option>
</select>
</form>
I can't seem to find were I can add this informaiton. Thank you in advance.

sorry about that, thomas. maybe it'd help if i read your post more closely before responding. anyhow, i had to get carl's help for this, but here are two ways to implement your request...
javascript approach: just drop in a jscript function that checks your option values and displays them as you'd like. so if you had a select list item, P2_DEPTNO, with an lov query like...
select dname, deptno from dept
...you could place this javascript...
<script language=JavaScript type=text/javascript>

</script>
...in the "Post Element Text" field of the item-level attributes page of your item.
style approach: i'm not a css pro, but if your users use browsers that are somewhat css compliant (not IE), you can use define a style like...
<style type="text/css">

</style>
...also in that "Post Element Text" field (or in your CSS, of course) and drop a...
class="myColors"
...into the "HTML Form Element Attributes" field on that same page.
hope this helps,
raj

ISR drop-down lists with ZCI layout

Hi,
We are developing a custom ISR scenario on Netweaver 2004s SP11 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1. Our Interactive form has a drop-down list which is supposed to get prefilled. When we use the ZCI layout, the drop-down is not showing any values. If we simply change the layout type to Standard, it is working fine. While using ZCI layout, we inserted the webdynpro script and used ISR native controls.
Why the drop-down is not working with ZCI layout? Are we missing any thing?
Appreciate your response
Thanks
Ram

It is solved. The issue was with binding.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer working with 2 drop down list, one response triggers the other

I am fairly new to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, but I would like to have a drop down list of managers and another drop down list of employees.
I would like this set up in such a way where the manager can click on their own name in the manager list and have a drop down list appear which is only populated with their directly reporting employees. They can then click on the individual employee they are going to report on.
Then there will be several questions pertaining to the individual direct report, etc. (This part I can do)
Is this possible?
If so, please provide detailed instructions for me to try.
Thank you in advance.

Put this in the change event of your Manager drop down:
var myObj={"Manager 1":"Employee A,Employee B,Employee C",
"Manager 2":"Employee D,Employee E",
"Manager 3":"Employee F,Employee G, Employee H"};
DropDownList2.setItems(myObj[this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText)]);
This is assuming the list of items in that dropdown is "Manager 1", "Manager 2", "Manager 3".
And DropDownList2 is the name of your Employee drop down.
