Are you using LiveCycle Designer or Acrobat to create the form? This forum is for forms created with Acrobat, and dropdowns in Acrobat do not behave the way you want.

Drop-down liast in Adobe interactive forms

Hello,
We have 3 regions, US, Europe and Asia Pacific and each region has a manager.
Now, am developing a Interactive form with Webdynpro for ABAP (pls. note always FORM is only one) for these regions/managers. Manager pressess submit button for approval.
I have 19 drop-down (Enumerated drop-down with SELECT) fields in this form.
Regardsing the field 'DROP_DOWN_1' :
US manger should get 7 values in the drop-down list with a 'US_DROPDOWN' default, if manager donw want to keep this value, he can change/over ride and submits the form.
Europe manger should get 5 values in the drop-down list with a 'EUROPE_DROPDOWN' default, if manager donw want to keep this value, he can change/over ride and submits the form.
Asia Pcific manger should get 11 values in the drop-down list with a 'ASIA_PACIFIC_DROPDOWN' default, if manager donw want to keep this value, he can change/over ride and submits the form.
Pls. let me know
1) Is DYNAMIC drop-downs possible?
2) If so, where should i mainatin the code, is it in FORM level scrpting? webdynpro abap code?
3) If FORM level script, webdynpro has to pass these drop-down values to FORM via CONTEXT, is it right?
4) Any settings for this dynamic functionality either FORM setinsg to webdynpro settings?
Thank you,

Hi,
There are two options to do that, first by web service which suits best the offline scenario and another by server round trip which is possible in online scenario only.
For web service scenario you have to create data binding in the form with web service data node, (search SDN for suitable document explaining the scenario with web service for more info). Every time the user will choose value from DD the web service will trigger to fetch data based on user input.
Second scenario uses server round trip. In this method you have to call the submit method in web dynpro view with some conditions that it is called through DD to fetch values. Use some flag variable to differentiate between the final submit and DD value help submit.
There is one more option but the performance of the form will get affected based on the data used for the DDs.
In that method you have to maintain the data for each US, Europe, Asia in a table. Based on user input fetch value from that table in the specific dropdown using script on the form.

Blank value added to dropdown list in Adobe Interactive forms

Hi,
I see blank value being added to the value list by default to dropdown lists in adobe interactive forms. The real issue is it's being added sometimes as the first value or last value in the drop down list of values which is inconsistent and resulting in Errors sometimes.
Is there a way by which we can control the position of the blank value added by default(SAP or Adobe) to the drop down lists in adobe interactive forms .? Secondly , Is this a SAP or Adobe upgrade issue since we observed this issue only after recent upgrades ...?
I am using HCM processes and forms and I am not adding blank value (space) explicitly in my coding of dropdown list values .
Thanks for your time .

Hi Sankeerth,
The Web Dynpro framework generates a blank entry to the value set of the dropdown listbox if the Context attribute bound to the dropdown listbox is "nullable" (see properties of the Context attribute).
The dropdown listboxes of interactive forms will be populated with exactly the same data (value sets) as the "native" Web Dynpro dropdown lisboxes.
For SAP NetWeaver 7 EhP2, there's a Web Dynpro test application (WDR_TEST_ADOBE_ZCI) available, which demonstrates this: Start it and see the dropdown listboxes labeled "Datatype" and "Datatype (nullable)": Both are bound to Context attributes which are of type DATATYPE_D. The only difference is that one of the attributes is "nullable". The dropdown listbox bound to the nullable attribute contains the additional blank entry.
Watch the native Web Dynpro dropdown listboxes below the interactive form: They are bound to the same Context attributes and contain the same value sets as the dropdown listboxes of the interactive form!

Ralf

Drop down list in ADOBE Forms - WDP for ABAP...urgent

Hi Gurus,
Can you please explain me how to display values in the dropdown list of Adobe interactive form in WDP for ABAP. Also expalin me how to accept them in the program once the user selects the value from the list. The requirement is I have to call the RFC, get the data and display in the dropdown list at the time of initialization.

hi,
to populate the dropdown list you can do it...
1). manually or
2). by code(i work in java... there must be some ABAP equivalent...)
1). manually go to interactive form->edit
 go to Object tab->field tab ->
 you must see something like
 List Items :
 Text + x
 click on the green + sign...
 it promps you to type. type in the value press enter... and so on...
2) by Code...
 //set up contents of a drop down list dynamically...
 IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeTravelData().getNodeInfo().
 getAttributeInfo().getAttribute("DestinationCountry");
 ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
 countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
 IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
 countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
 countryValueSet.put("1","Germany");

How to get prefilled drop down list in Adobe form from WebDynpro context

Hi All,
We all know that we can have dropdown list in webdynpro which can be automatically populated by the context node collection.
How can we have the same functionality in Adobe form drop down list. I tried to bind the node attribute to drop down list in Adobe form but it shows me only first element. I am not able to see all the elements in the dropdown but if I am doing same thing for WebDynpro DropDown list I can see the complete List.
Anybody with Solution?

Hi Ricky

How do i customize a drop down list in adobe muse without css?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything code. I tinker in design and ran into a bit of a snag. I'm involved in a start up and our coders apparently only know how to code software and back end stuff. I know it's probably not the best route to go, but i'm trying to use adobe muse to do the front end of my companies website that will have a few fields such as drop down lists and sign up forms, etc. Is there a way to customize the look of a drop down menu without using css? Or if i do need to use css how do i use it in muse? Really do appreciate any help you guys can provide!

You would need to know CSS. If you need to change Muse CSS you can use Firebug in Firefox to find the element ID. Then you would need to add your custom CSS to the head section in your page properties.

I passed an internal table, but it didnt work.

As per my understanding, i need to pass the values as index- text pairs and add some script to the field.
Kindly help on the steps i need to follow. Any suggestions are welcomee [:)]. I require to fetch the DDL values from database tables.
Kind Regards,

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.

hi,
cretae simple type in data dictionary i don't have any idea to create simple type in adobe forms.
For creating Simple Type------in Dictionary->Local Dictionary->Data Type->Simple Type(here right click u get create simple type).and after that choose Enumaration Here u can add values
and create a node WITH one attribute and this attribute is off Type of that simple type u created in local dictionary and bind that node with interactive form data source property ,now in interactive form drag and drop that attribte from your dataView Run your application these values will populate in your Interactive form.

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 form

Hi 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.

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,
Prakash Pandey

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

Drop down list in adobe.

Hi,
I have created an adobe form, in which I have to create drop down box which has to read values from simple type. for this i have created context attribute whose type is simple type, and i have draged that context attribute in adobe form, and made it to drop down list, but values r not getting populating here,
how to poin this to simple type.

Hi try this way
In your view create a Value Node of cardinality 1:1 (say of name DataSource ).
Inside DataSource Create another Value Node of cardinality 0:n say Employee .
Create a Value Attribute of Java_Simple_Type say EmpName.
In Interactive Form Properties bind DataSource node under DataSource Element Properties.
Open Interactive form to Edit.
In adobe form designer go to left side window among three windows available.
Go to Data View Tab.
Here u will see your context structure.
click on EmpName under Employee Node and drag and drop it to middle window which is adobe design time window.
By this u will get a UI Element with drop down list and is automatically bound to context also.
Save and Deploy.

Drop down lists are active in form received by email

Hello,
I have a form with drop down lists and the form is set so that when the user submits it, the PDF form is sent, not the XML file. The problem is that when I receive the PDF form, the drop down lists are active and I can change the items in the list. Is there a way to disable this so that when the PDF form is received no changes to the form can be made?
Thank you.

I think you need to have a flag in a hidden field that indicates that the form has been submitted. You could set that flag on the form's pre-submit event. On the form's initialize event, check the flag. If it's been set (i.e. the form has been submitted before), programatically lock down the form. Here's a tidy little (untested) recursive function that locks down the form: lockDown(xfa.form.nodes); function lockDown(oNodes) { for (var i=0; i<oNodes.length; i++) { if (oNodes.item(i).className == "subform") lockDown(oNodes.item(i).nodes); else oNodes.item(i).access = "readOnly"; } } Jared Langdon http://www.jlangdon.ca
