Drop down list in table

Hi ,
I have a table, which has two columns both are drop down list. So when the user inserts a new row and when he selects dropdown1 then dropdown2 has to be populated on the value of dropdown1.
Please let me know how can this be acheived in Java Webdynpro.
Regards,
Sharath

Let "Rows" be the data source node of the table. Add two non-singleton child nodes "Items1" and "Items2" for storing the dropdown list items.
Define an action "List1Selected" and add a parameter "row" of type IRowsElement.
Define a parameter mapping that maps the predefined event parameter "nodeElement" to the action parameter "row".
Assign action "List1Selected" to the "onSelect" event of list1.
In the action handler you have then the row where the entry from list1 has been selected:
void onActionList1Selected(IRowsElement row, ...)
IItems1Element selection = row.nodeItems1().currentItems1Element();
/* Now populate row.nodeItems2() depending on the selection... */

Populate drop-down list in table row or repeating subform

I am currently working on an Adobe Interactive Form integrated with web dynpro ABAP. I would like to create a table or repeating subform with a number of drop-down lists populated from SAP.
I am using the Enumerated Drop-down list from the WebDynproNative menu. In my WDDOINIT method, I am populating the attributes using the set_attribute_value_set method. This is working fine when my dropdown is not in a table or repeating subform. The dropdown is populated and the selected value is returned to SAP when submitting the form. However, when I place the dropdown in a table row or a repeating subform, the dropdown is not populated.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi There,
I am facing problem in Dropdown lists in Subforms.
I want the region dropdown list values according to country (only for DE) dropdown list value. Both Dropdown lists are in a Subform.
For that, I have used this in EXIT event of Country Dropdown list:
if (this.rawValue == "DE Deutschland")
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Schleswig-Holstein","1");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hamburg","2");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Niedersachsen","3);
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bremen","4");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Nordrhein-Westfalen","5");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hessen","6");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Rheinland-Pfalz","7");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Baden-Württemberg","8");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bayern","9");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Saarland","10");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Berlin","11");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Brandenburg","12");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Mecklenburg-Vorpomme","13");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen","14");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen-Anhalt","15");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Thüringen","16");
else
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
It does only change first region dropdownlist value, not others because both dropdown lists are in a Subform.
Other problem is that it works only when All Country Dropdown lists are "DE". Means, first region dropdown list depends upon not only first country dropdown but also other dropdown.
My requirement is, If first country Dropdown is "DE", only first Region Dropdown list should be fill, not others. And so on.
Please provide solution that How can I change all dropdown lists of a Subform dynamically?
Waiting for reply.
Thank you

Drop down list in Table Control - Value disappeared after pressing ENTER

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem in one of my development where I used a table control in which one field is a drop down list.
I used VRM_SET_VALUES and VRM_GET_VALUES for populating the values from the programand not use any domain level value table for that field.
My problem is when I select one value from this list , and pressing enter , the value get disappeared. But if I use a domain for this field with value table then everything working properly.
My doubt is am I doing some miss coding or using the VRM_ function modules improperly ?
I am sharing some code with you
in PAI :
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_GET_VALUES'
    EXPORTING
      id            = 'ITAB-FIELD3'    "This is drop down list element on screen
    IMPORTING
      values        = values[]    " even it is not the expor parameter...it will work..
   EXCEPTIONS
     id_not_found   = 1
     OTHERS         = 2.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
No sy-subrc check required.
ENDIF.
IN PBO
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
       EXPORTING
            id     = 'IVBAP-ERNAM'
            values = values[].
Can you please help me.

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.

Trying to get Pivot table drop down list to affect bar chart below it

Hi,
In BI Answers I have a pivot table and a bar chart below it. At run time, I can choose a value from the
drop down list for the pivot table, but the bar chart below it doesn't react to the new value chosen
from the pivot table.
Does anyone know a way to get the bar chart to receive new values, permeating down from a table view
pivot table above it on the same report (apart from using prompted filters for the whole report).
Many thanks,
Jake

you may want to try this...
in you bar chart criteria, set prompted filters of all the dimension fields u want from the pivot table.
in the pivot table, set action links on these dimension columns and loop it back to the current dashboard page.
now, when u click on a value on the pivot table, the dim values of this will be passed as a parameter to the the bar chart filter set and your bar chart will change accordingly...

How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Pivot Tables

Hi Everyone,
Iam stuck with 1 problem please can any 1 help me if u know the solution.
Here is my problem:
How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Oracle BI Pivot Tables?
For example, if you place Region in the pages area, a Region drop-down list allows the user to select a particular region, and see the data for only that region, rather than seeing all the Regions,But by default its not showing "ALL" option in the drop down list ,rather than doing that its showing result for only 1 region by default.
And an other problem with this pages area is, if we palce the multiple attributes in the Pages area in the pivot table, the (Fields)result is showing in vertically, the attributes 1 by 1(Every attribute in a new line) ,rather than showing like that, is there any way to show the results in horizantally?(We want to have it as a seperate drop drown list for every field horizantally not as a concatenated list).

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.

Selecting Top N records in a table using a slider or drop down list

Hi Experts,
I have a query that displays 1000 records ( say) in VC iview.
Can i have a drop down list in the variable form to control the number of records displayed in the output table by the user .
or can i have a horizaontal slider ( Min value is 2 -max 1000) to display the number of records in the output table selected by the horizaontal slider.
basically iam having a requirement to give the user the capability to select the Top N records of the output table...where the user enters the N value in Drop downlist of variable form or user slides the N value using Horizontal slider
Thnaks
P.Navakanth

Hi
Yes it is possible. First you need to create 'Condition' in BEx query where you have to create 'TOP N' & 'N' should be a variable input. Then you will get this in 'Variable Screen' of a query. In VC for this same variable you can use slider. Use 'Select' function in the 'Action' of the slider & pass it to require table/graph.
Try this, this will give you the required result.

Prevent Identical Selection in Drop Down List in an Expanding Table

Hi All,
I have a 2x2 table in which the top row is a header row and the bottom row 'Row1'. Row1 Cell1 has two buttons in it, one to add a new Row1 using Javascript click instance script:
this.parent.parent.instanceManager.addInstance()
...and one to remove any Row1 using Javascript click instance script:
var rowNum = this.parent.parent.index;
this.parent.parent.instanceManager.removeInstance(rowNum);
Row1 Cell2 contains a datadropdown object. Basically, when a user adds an extra Row1, I need to prevent them from selecting a previously selected item from the dropdowndata list. I'm having trouble figuring it out because I'm trying to put together exit instance script (or should it be validate script?) that is trying to reference Row1[*]. In simpler situations where I have two fixed objects, I have just been doing this as a FormCalc exit script:
if (Object1 = Object2)
then xfa.host.messageBox("You can't select the same thing again")
and xfa.host.resetData("Object1")
endif
... which prevents the user from selecting something with the same rawvalue by alerting them, then clearing the field.
Hope this makes sense and that someone can help! Thanks in advance to all the adobe gurus out there

Hi,
Would it be possible to filter out the choices in the drop down list that have already been selected. If so you could try something like this JavaScript in the preOpen event of your drop down.
var dropDownItems = [ "abc", "def", "hij" ];
var rows = Table1.resolveNodes("Row1[*]");
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
    var row = rows.item(i);
    if (!row.DropDownList1.isNull)
        dropDownItems = dropDownItems.filter(function(element) { return element !== row.DropDownList1.rawValue});
this.setItems(dropDownItems.join(","));
The first line initialises a variable with all the possible values and then we go though each row filtering out the ones already selected.
You will probably have to change the form object names to suit you form, but here is my sample to test the code, https://files.acrobat.com/preview/eb0256dc-af30-4f7c-9187-469ba84464a4

Dynamic Drop-Down list in a table row or subform

Hi,
I need to display multiple drop-down list elements dynamically. Each of these DDLs will have different values.
For example:
The table will have 2 columns (Student Name text field and Courses drop-down)
Row 1: Student 1 & Courses of Student1 in DDL
Row 2: Student 2 & Courses of Student2 in DDL
When I execute my app, both the drop-downs (i.e. for both the students) are displaying all the courses of all the students. I tried a lot with binding options..
$record.Students[].Courses[]
is refering to all elements of the node. If I use the index 0 for Students node, I am getting 1st element rows.. if I use 1, I am getting 2nd element rows,,,
But How can I set the binding so that Row 1 has only Student 1 courses and Row 2 has Student 2 courses?
IS THERE A WAY TO DYNAMICALLY SET THE BINDING USING JAVASCRIPT?
I tried with tables, subforms.. it is not working. It is working fine in plain web dynpro table but not in an interactive form. I am using NW 2004s SP11, Web Dynpro Java. LiveCycle Designer 7.1, Adobe Reader 7.09.
There are some other posts talking about similar issue.. I tried the solutions mentioned there as well, but nothing worked.
I would really appreciate if any one can provide a solution or pointer to my problem.
Thanks
Ram

Hey. Uh, this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but it sounds like you've got a problem with your database design there. Generally speaking, your tables shouldn't have multi-valued fields, in the relational model anyway (sql). Instead, you should look at adding a separate table like EMPLOYEE_HOBBIES. Then you have a foreign key using the employees primary key as the foreign key in the employee_hobbies table, see what I mean? I might have misunderstood your explanation though, I'm not sure.
Alternatively, you could just have hobbies as a big freeform varchar field, and don't bother to make people separate their hobbies into different fields (you'd have to abandon the drop-down listbox idea in this case). If there's no really important reason to make the distinction, then it's probably easier just to not do it.

Triggering "exit" event of a drop-down list in all instances of a table row

I have a drop-down list in a table row with multiple instances that performs a calculation on the exit event. This calculation draws information from 2 other dropdown lists contained above in non-repeating rows of the same table.
The desired behavior is: should the user change their choices above, all instances of the drop-down list below would perform the "Exit" event script accessing the new values above.
My script is:
RowOptionalCoverage.DdlCoverageType.execEvent("exit");     this works, sort of
It only updates the first instance of RowOptionalCoverage and none of the subsequent instances. The user can "Tab" through the instances and trigger the Exit event for each instance, but this is not a reasonable solution.
I have tried using the resolveNodes method without success. I understand, using the resolveNodes method may be necessary when referencing multiple instances of an object:
this.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");     doesn't work
xfa.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");      doesn't work
No doubt, I must be using the resolveNodes incorrectly or missing something? Probably something simple.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

PERFECT!!! Works right out of the box!
This has opened my eyes to the essential nature of loops. My form is very large and complex and functions correctly, Yet the coding is lacking in sophistication--no loops, functions, fragments or other code efficiencies. I am teaching myself (with the help here) and I have skipped learning and using some techniques when I could things to work using the limited skill set I have.
Sometimes, I just don't "get it". After I fail a few times, I skip it and try something else. Functions are a great example. I could utilize a bunch of these if I could only write one that works. It is frustrating. If I got one to work, I know could write a ton of them. But, there is some essential part of functions I am missing that's preventing me from having my first success with them. (I think it has to do with not understanding arguments completely).
Anyway, I am overjoyed with the solution you provided and I understand it well enough to be able to use again in other situations.
Thanks again!

Adding Drop Down List values from table fields

Hi all,
Recently we have switched from Microsoft's Infopath to Adobe's LiveCycle Designer. In InfoPath i was able to allow a user to enter data in a table and then use that data as values for a drop downlist, which could in turn be used in another table. Infopath made it relatively easy to do this, but I assume it requires scripting in LiveCycle. Here is an example that make make it easier to to explain:
Let's say we have a form with a table that has a colomn where the user can enter a value in a table let's say "Computer Name":
Computer Name | IP | Vendor | Serial Number|
PC 1
---------------------| 192.168.2.34| HP | US4839494
PC 2
PC 3
PC 4
Further down the form there is a nother table with a drop down list. I want the values of the drop down list to be what ever values were entered for "Computer Name" in the previous table. So in this case the table would look like this:
Computer Name | Acquisition Date| End of Life Date
<Drop DownList>| 07/21/2010 | 07/21/2014
The drop downlist values would be "PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4" or whatever values were entered in the previous table. Essentially, I am trying to avoid from having users type in "Computer Name" data every time the "Computer Name" needs to be entered. It would be so much easier to enter all "Computer Name" values and then use those values as part of a drop down list to avoid excessive typing.
I hope this makes sense, it is fairly easy to do in InfoPath and I am sure there is a way to do this in LiveCycle.
Let me know if my explanation is not clear enough.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, but it doesn't seem to quite accomplish what I am trying to do. I've tried using global binding as you specified, but the outcome is not exactly what I want. Perhaps this drawing can help depict what I am trying to do:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/153/dropdownlist.png/
On the picture I manually defined the values for the drop down list. Again, I want these values to be taken from "Computer Name" in the table above.
Thanks!

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!

Drop Down List in a table - different options for each row

How can i have a drop down list in a table with different options for each row?
My requirement is this.. I want to display, say employee dtails in a table, and one column is employee hobbies, whcih can have multiple values and each employee may have a different list of hobbies. So how can we populate the drop down for each row, with different options?

Beginner Problems - How to sum drop down lists in a table

Hi,
Please forgive my newness but I'm creating a table with 10+ rows and columns and need to sum the colums. The user is expected to select a number from a drop down list and I would like to sum those nbumbers up at the bottom of the column, seems simple enough...
I have named each cell in the bindings tab but can't seem to find the right sum script. I just started using livecycle and have had a good experience up until now.
I wish it was like excel where you just need to click or highlight the cells you want to sum and be done with it but I can't seem to find the easy button...
Cant you just highlight a column, name it and then use that name in a sum script?
Thanks so much for any help and I've looked around but can't get a grip on this one so I apologize if it's been asked before.
Go easy on me.

One last thing.
I can manage this one on my own but it's taking so long to do it the way I'm going at it.
Basically, I've overpopulated most of my drop down list items, some by over 100 and I'd like to restrict the results that can be chosen by the user.
Right now, I'm deleting each value in the List Item field in the cell tab one by one but I have a lot more to go and this could take a few hours at this rate. Is there no way for me to just highlight a large chunk and remove it that way or do I have to go one by one clicking the delete button? I can't find any option to delete more than one at a time which seems odd.
Sorry if I'm not clear enough.
Thanks again either way.
~OK~
I just ended up copying a new cell to each overpopulated cell and rename. Seems to have worked and definitely saved some time, kind of obvious I suppose... but would be nice to be able to delete more than one item at once in the list item field.
