Drop-down list of check-box options with header.

Okay, I'm not sure if this is actually possible but I shall ask anyway. Partially because I have limited FP real estate and also because I think this is relatively easy method for the user to use, I have come up with the following idea:
I want something that looks similar to a menu ring when not selected, displaying the text 'Plots'. Then, when it is clicked a list/menu opens downwards (as opposed to the default operation of menu rings). In this list/menu will be an element for each plot that is displayed on an XY Graph. Each element will contain a check-box (control) and a string (indicator). The strings will each display their respective plot name. The user can then click on the list/menu/thing to show the elements for the plots, and can check or uncheck however many they wish. The idea is that whichever plots are checked will be the ones displayed on the XY Graph.
Firstly, have I explained this well enough, and secondly, is it possible?
Thank you.
James

Just to make sure I wasn't leading you down the garden path, I messed around a little and came up with the following two vi's (LV 8.5)
Load Custom Ring Main.vi, run it, and try selecting the ring list.
Hope this helps!

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 list properties availble for user in card / document

The need is to define some custom properties for documents in the document directory and to let the user fill up the properties using a drop down list (using the edit option for the card)For example we wuold like to add a properties name departmentwith the following values related to it : Department A , Department B ... so the user should be able to choose from a list. Plumtree offers in the main property setting to define a drop down type for the property and to assign values to it, but from our understanding/findings - these are not accessible to the user but only for admin purposes (defining properties to document types ).Is our understanding correct ?Perhaps someone has already addressed this issue and developed some connection between the drop down values and the edit card page to make the values available to the user ?

Hello,
Have you check that user permission on both lists? Also ask him to try in different browser or in different machine.
It seems problem with user machine or browser or permission. Please check and let us know

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!

LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Linked Drop Down Lists

Hi,
Im new to Adobe LiveCycle and trying to link two drop down lists. I want the second drop down list to have certain options visible, depending upon the choice selected in the first list.
I have spent a bit of time with JavaScript and trying to link them, however am struggling.
Can anyone advise?
TIA, Mike.

Hi Mike -
You can accomplish what you are describing with an array.
An example of what you are asking about can be found in the Live Cycle Interactive Purchase Order sample found at [installdir]\EN\Samples\Purchase Order\Interactive (at least that's where I found mine, I'm using Live Cycle Designer version 7).
There are two drop-down lists in this Purchase Order sample: Country and State/Province. Only two countries are listed for the purpose of the example however you can customize the script by adding other countries.
Look for the script object named 'countryScript'. It contains the logic invoked by the drop-down lists when the form is created and based on the user interaction.

Using a variable/drop down list in header of planning layout

Dear all,
I have created a simple BPS application for purely GL planning (No CO related objects like cost centre involved). I have the following characteristics in the header of the manuel planning layout.
Business area
Chart of accounts
Company code
Currency
Currency Type
Fiscal year
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,
Sumit

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,

Drop down list driven by drop down list

I have two drop-down lists, the second one is driven by the first selection, I am wondering how to do it.
Is it similar as the page refreshed by drop-down list?

Check out this Coordinated Dropdown Sample Application :
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/code/sampleapps/2/2update1/CoordinatedDropDowns.zip
This application demonstrates how the powerful event handling mechanism in JavaServer Faces can be used to dynamically update the state of various components on a single page.

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.

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!

This forum thread appears to point towards the problem.

Can I have a blank field on my document when using a combo box with a drop down list in Word 2011 for Mac?

I am creating a drop down list using a combo box in the Developer tab. Once I protect my document I want the field to remain empty and not show any of the items on my drop down list. Is there a way to do this? Currently it shows one of the items on my list.
Thanks

Paul's answer is correct.
Since this is a Word IT forum for Windows, in the future you should use the
answers.microsoft.com forum. It specializes in Word for the Mac. BTW - Paul stops by there also, so you'll still get his advice from there. :-)

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.

How do I use a drop-down list to populate a list box

I'm using livecycle 8:
I basically have a drop down list with many selections available. I want the function to be when they select from the drop-down the choice they made appears in a list box next to the drop-down box. If they choose to add additional selections from the drop-down list they will add to the list field as well. If anyone has seen one of those on-line job application sites where you have a list of qualities on the left and you can select them and they populate to a list on the right, That is basically what I want.
I'm not too familiar with adobe quite yet and if you can break the process down as much as possible I would greatly appreciate it.

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())
%>
<option value="1"><% out.print(rs.getString("GameDescription"));%></option>
<%
catch(Exception e)
%>
</select>
Thanks,

Need help with drop down list in parameters

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
Michael
