Drop Down List Menus

I am trialing LiveCycle ES2.  When using a drop down list as a menu and the user selects an item from the menu, can a "populated" field show information on the selection made?  I am not skilled in the XML type language and am solely using the drag and drop features of ES2.  Thanks in advance for any replies.

Yes. You could do either of the following (but not both).
// form1.page1.dropDown::exit - (JavaScript, client)
form1.page1.textField.rawValue = this.rawValue;
The second option has the advantage of making the field 'textField' read-only (which may or may not be desirable).
// form1.page1.textField::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue = form1.page1.dropDown.rawValue;

  • I am creating a template with drop down menus in Numbers. I want to be able to insert options into the middle of my list at a later date if I need to, but I can only insert at the end of the drop down list. Is there a different program I could be using?

    I need to be able to add in more options into my drop down list in Numbers at a later time, not only at the bottom but say in the middle of the list. Should I be using a different program that can allow this to work? Thank you!

  • Get/Set values from a drop down list

    I am trying to modify the http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/web/web-jpa-part2.html so that instead of entering the data from a text field (in update & add) the values come from a drop down list from a table. I have drop down lists that are populated bothe from the DB and hard coding. When I run, I am able to see the options on the DDs. But none of the CRUD work. I think this is because my set and get for the drop down is wrong. Then again, I also have a few text fields from the original example which also don't seem to work. Here is a piece of my addButton():
            RowKey[] selectedRowKeys = getTableRowGroup1().getSelectedRowKeys();
            PaymentDetails[] pv = getSessionBean1().getPaymentVoucher();
            int rowId = Integer.parseInt(selectedRowKeys[0].getRowId());
            PaymentDetails upPV = pv[rowId];
            bankCodeDD.getSelected();
            statusDD.getSelected(); // hard coded value
          upPV.setPrepBy((String) prepByField.getText());
          PaymentDetailsController pvController = new PaymentDetailsController();
            pvController.addPaymentDetails(upPV);
            addRequest = false;
            return null;How do I set and get the values from the drop down so than it passed to my bean? When I choose a row to be updated, make changes and click Update, I get this message on my Tomcat:
    com.sun.webui.jsf.component.DropDown::The current value of component form1:deptCodeDD does not match any of the selections.
    Did you forget to reset the value after changing the options?Can someone please point me to a place which shows how I can add a default value from my DD? I tried to follow http://www.netbeans.org/kb/55/dropdowncomp.html, but unable to complete because I get an error for Options api. The auto-fix imported import org.apache.jasper.Options; But the package given in the tutorial is com.sun.webui.jsf.model.Option. My Java version is 1.6.0_07.
    private Options listOptions[];
    ...//getter setter goes here
    listOptions = new Option[noofDBRows + 1];Many Thanks!

    I enhanced it since yesterdays because I forgot to treat the case when cell is blank in column B.

    As you are in Stoke-on-Trent maybe your system is set to use the comma as decimal separator.
    If it's that, you must replace the comma by semi-colons in the formulas (you may see them in my screenshot).

  • Using the values from a drop down list to display in a separate cell

    Hi all,
    I must apologise if I don;t use the right 'terminology' as I am just an ordinary guy who uses a mac. I am also deaf which means I am totally dependant on the internet for fixing solutions.
    Basically, I wanted to create a drop down list which I had no problem doing.
    In the drop down, I have the options One-Piece, Two-Piece and Three-Quarter.
    I would like to get it so that when I select the One-Piece, the value of 160 appears in a separate cell. If I select Two-Piece, then I would need 130 to appear in that separate cell. Likewise, Three-Quarter to produce 150.
    Just to clarify, if we had a two-column and one row table, then the drop-down would be in A1, which the values would appear in B1.
    I do not know the formula, and cannot find any instructions anywhere as I am probably using the wrong terminology or function name!
    Any help would be much, much appreciated..
    Carl

  • How can I restore the search bar drop down list and current search engine icon as it was in FF version 33?

    Is there a way to restore the search bar from version 33?

  • Master detail form - drop down list in detail (ADF)

    Hi,
    Been racking our brains for a few days/weeks about this one, and would be grateful for any pointers why this does not work.
    We have developed an in-house application for dealing with risk and chemical assessments.
    The process we have adopted allows users to create an assessment first then they are taken to another form where they are then able to add risk factors/ or chemicals relating to the assessment. The intention is to present the user with the ability to select from a drop down list which contains the chemical names.
    We have been going through the forums and have tried all the examples we can find (all the examples work on our system), but when we try to adapt them to our approach they create an error indicating that they cannot find the values in the entity object.
    Has anyone else come across the same problem or is it that the ADF is not suited to dealing with the master/detail approach and drop down menus.
    The drop down lists are in an ADF table.
    Thanks in advance
    Andrew

    Hi Kuba,
    Thanks for the pointer, I think we tried that one early on. For the time being we have opted for using a selectInputText box, and that appears to be working. Well at least it has got us past the deadline for yesterday, now onto the next deadline.
    Thanks again!

  • How can I add categories to drop-down lists or check-boxes?

    hello can I use sub categories or group items by labels when using drop-down lists or check-boxes?

    You can't include sub-menus in a drop-down. What is possible, though, is to populate another drop-down based on the selection made in the first one, or use a pop-up menu. Both things require a script, though.

  • 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.

  • Drop Down Lists and Value Change Events

    I have 4 drop down lists each with a set of values from the database.
    Based on the value of the first list(ValueChangeEvent only for list1) , I fetch data from the database and set the 'selected value' in the other lists.
    I have a Submit button which takes values from these 4 lists and puts it in the database.
    Problem:
    I change list 2 through list 4 and hit a Submit button which inserts all the values in the database.
    However,on Clicking the Submit button I never get the new selected values, it always refers to the previously fetched values.
    I tried to recreate this case in a Sandbox without a database , Here is the code:
    Page1.jsp
    <h:selectOneMenu id="list1" value="#{SessionBean1.selectedList1}" valueChangeListener="#{SessionBean1.list1ValueChangeListener}"  onchange="this.form.submit();" >
                   <f:selectItems id="dropdown1SelectItems" value="#{SessionBean1.list1}"/>
    </h:selectOneMenu>
      <h:selectOneMenu id="list2" value="#{SessionBean1.selectedList2}" >                           
                  <f:selectItems id="dropdown2SelectItems" value="#{SessionBean1.list2}"/>
       </h:selectOneMenu>
       <h:commandButton id="add" actionListener="#{SessionBean1.addActionListener}" value="Add"/>
        <h:inputText id="result" value="#{SessionBean1.result}" />SessionBean1
       public SessionBean1() {
            list1.add(new SelectItem("0","0"));
            list1.add(new SelectItem("1","1"));
            list1.add(new SelectItem("2","2"));
            list1.add(new SelectItem("3","3"));
            list2.add(new SelectItem("a","a"));
            list2.add(new SelectItem("b","b"));
            list2.add(new SelectItem("c","c"));
            list2.add(new SelectItem("d","d"));
            map.put("0", "a");
            map.put("1", "b");
            map.put("2", "c");
            map.put("3", "d");
        private void fetch_data(String value){
             selectedList2=map.get(value);
        public void list1ValueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent vce){
                fetch_data(vce.getNewValue().toString());
        public void addActionListener(ActionEvent event){
            result=selectedList2;
        }I tried debugging and found that after the Value Change Event is fired only selectedList1 gets a new value during Update Model Values Phase and selectedList2 still has the old value.
    With this sand box project I cannot even get the second list to show the corresponding value.
    Any insight on this would be helpful

    Thank You Balus C,
    I just realized the reason why this is not working, I found the reason in your article Populating Child Menu's article, I am just
    putting it as a reference here.
    One concern is that the skipping of the UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES will also cause that the new values of the menu's which have immediate="true" set won't be set in the backing bean. This can partly be fixed by getting the new value from the ValueChangeEvent inside the valueChangeListener method and assign it to the appropriate property. But this won't work for other menu's of which the valueChangeListener isn't been invoked. This would cause problems if you select a child menu value and then select the parent menu back to null and then reselect it to same value again, the child menu which will show up again would remain the same selection instead of null while its child will not be rendered! To solve this we need to bind the menu's to the backing bean so that we can use UIInput#setValue() and UIInput#getValue() to set and get the actual values.+ The JSF lifecycle will set and get them in the RESTORE_VIEW and RENDER_RESPONSE phases respectively.+
    I am not sure I understand whether or not it is a limitation but the reason above is valid and I rolled back to binding my menus and getting to work with that.
    Is Binding UI components a wise idea because most of the attributes can be programmed using properties in Backing Beans unless you have to build new components?
    Thanks Again

  • Creating drop down sub menus

  • How do I use one drop down list to refresh the list in another drop down?

    I am using a drop down list full of years (i.e. 2008, 2009..etc). When I make my selection from this drop down list (say for instance I select 2009) I want it to update the available data in the second drop down list. I have the query statement set up within the JSP page but it needs to be a dynamic SQL statement based off the value I selected in the first drop down.
    String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
    The variable "year" is the value I need to figure out how to assign. Now this variable is a Java variable (attribute) and Im unsure how to get the value from the previous drop down and assign it to that. Basically I need the JavaScript value from the first drop down assigned to the Java attribute "year".
    Anyone able to help me with this???
    Thanks,
    Jed

    Here are my two drop down lists. As you can see I build the second list dynamically based off the value of the year. I want to be able to assign my year to the value I select in this first drop down. How do I do that?? I only want to show games for the year I select. I currently have the year hardcoded to "2009" as you see below. How can i change that to be assigned to the JavaScript value i extract from the first select box?
    <select name="season">
    <option value='2009' selected>2009</option>
    <option value='2008'>2008</option>
    </select>
    <select name="gameselect">
    <%
    try
    String year = "2009";
    String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ElmwoodExpos";
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "root", "thejedster");
    String sql = "SELECT GameId, GameDescription FROM Games WHERE Year = " + year;
    Statement s = con.createStatement();
    s.executeQuery(sql);
    ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
    while(rs.next())

    Fiscal Year Variant
    Fiscal year/period
    Value type
    Version
    I have created variables for Business area, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Year Period, Posting Period and Version. The client wants either a variable or a drop down list for these characteristics in the header in the web application. When I assign a variable and put the characteristic in header, I get the error message in the web application saying header characteristic can only have a fixed value. Can someone tell me if it is possible and if so than how? I'll be very grateful for any inputs. Thanks a lot.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    When you create a variable, assign some values to the variable. These then become available in the drop down box. Ths first time a Web interface is called, these variable values are initial.As a result, u get the error messages. Select the variable values and then the error message should go away.
    Thanks,

  • How do I restore an old Iphone 3gs backup if it does not appear in the "restore backup" drop-down list?

    Hi
    Last night I tried to install ios 6.1.2. The install failed. I tried again and this time it recommended restoring the phone - I agreed and it worked, but after the restore was completed, I could not get out of the set-up assistant screens on the phone. It kept saying either connect to Itunes, or connected to Itunes - there was no conclusion of the set-up process.
    So again I chose to restore the phone - this time I got through the process and asked it to restore my last back up. It did so, but it turns out the back-up is empty. Looking at the time of the back-up, I think what happened is the phone  synced while it was stuck in the set-up assistant, and the old backup with all my data was overwritten with a new empty back up.
    If I use windows explorer I can see a back-up set from earlier in the evening that should contain all my data (6pm)  but when I look in iTunes that backup set is not available for selection in the "restore back-up" drop down list. Perhaps its only a partially completed backup, but at 1.55gb it sure contains a lot of valuable data. How can I make iTunes see or use the 6pm backup set?

    yes - sadly I think that's what happened. As the phone was connected, it was syncing and backing up automatically while I tried to complete the set-up process. So an empty back-up overwrote the full one. But the full back up is still there in the application data files - it must have done a back-up automatically before it restored the phone. So why can't I see it and use it in iTunes? Very frustrating!
