Drop down list in web-dynpro abap

Hi friend,
i want to drop down list in WEB-DYNPRO abap kindly give me one example .
regards
vikash

Suppose you have created a DropDownByIndex on your screen & bound its "Texts" attribute to a context attribute by name DROPDOWN then you can put the below coding into your WDDOINIT method to fill the values to be displayed:
METHOD wddoinit .
DATA: lv_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
        lt_texts TYPE if_main=>elements_dropdown,
        wa_texts TYPE if_main=>element_dropdown.
lv_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'DROPDOWN' ).
wa_texts-application = ' '.
APPEND wa_texts TO lt_texts.
wa_texts-application = 'MS Word'.
APPEND wa_texts TO lt_texts.
wa_texts-application = 'MS Excel'.
APPEND wa_texts TO lt_texts.
wa_texts-application = 'Notepad'.
APPEND wa_texts TO lt_texts.
lv_node->bind_table( new_items = lt_texts ).
ENDMETHOD.
Suppose you are using a DropDownByKey & bound the "Selected Key" property to the context attribute by name TEMP then you can proceed as shown below to fill the dropdown with values:
data: lr_node_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
        wa_value_set type wdr_context_attr_value,
        lt_value_set type table of wdr_context_attr_value.
lr_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE' ).
lr_node_info = lr_node->get_node_info( ).
wa_value_set-value = '1'.
wa_value_set-text = 'One'.
insert wa_value_set into table lt_value_set.
wa_value_set-value = '2'.
wa_value_set-text = 'Two'.
insert wa_value_set into table lt_value_set.
wa_value_set-value = '3'.
wa_value_set-text = 'Three'.
insert wa_value_set into table lt_value_set.
lr_node_info->set_attribute_value_set( name      = 'TEMP'
                                         value_set = lt_value_set ).

Problems with populating Drop Down List (WD ABAP)

Hi,
I am trying to populate two Drop Down fields CARRID and CONNID (Type Table SPFLI) on an Adobe Interactive Form in a Web Dynpro ABAP Application.
In the WD Context I have a node "Flights" with those attributes.
In the WDDOINIT I populate the Context elements (just for test purposes with all entries of SPFLI).
[code]
DATA:
     node_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
     elem_flights                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
     stru_flights                        TYPE wd_this->element_flights,
     it_flights TYPE TABLE OF spfli.
SELECT carrid connid FROM spfli INTO TABLE it_flights.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FLIGHTS> via lead selection
   node_flights = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_flights ).
node_flights->bind_table(
    new_items            = it_flights
    set_initial_elements = ABAP_FALSE
[/code]
According to this
Re: adobe form/reader error I bound the element values property of the Enumerated Drop Down List to [code]$record.sap-vhlist.CARRID.item[*][/code], whereas <i>Object Text</i> is "Text" and <i>Object Value</i> is "Key".
Unfortunately the DDLs on the Adobe Form are not populated with the values read from the table. I debugged the application and the values are written to the Context node.
Do you have any further hints?
Best regards,
Robin

Populateing a drop down list in a repeating sub form

I have been using the scripts from the Purchase Order sample that work with the Country and States/Provinces drop down lists and have modified them to fit my needs. The scripts work great. However I have a drop down list that is in a repeating sub form and the only the drop down list in the first occurance of the sub form works. The others don't.
I put this line of code in a field called drpOrderedByTeam.
JobsScript.getJobsOther(xfa, xfa.resolveNode("form1.TimeSheetSF.DetailsSF[*].DetailsTable.DetailsRow.ItemNumber"));
I thought I just needed to add an "[*]" to the name of the sub form and it would work with all occurances but it doesn't seem so and I'm not sure what else to do.

Based on your explanations, I've attempted to re-create your form and I think I've got it working the way you'd like it to.
There are some difficulties with using fields in table headers which are replicated on subsequent pages because while new instances of the header subform and the fields it contains are created, you don't have access to these instances using the header's Instance Manager (I think this is a bug but I'm not sure). This means that you can't iterate through the instances of the header in order to populate the task lists depending on the selection in the team list. One solution for this is to make all header fields Global (select each field and, in the Object palette's Binding tab, set the
Default Binding property to
Global). This means that all instances of these fields will share the same value. The effect is that when you change the value of a field on an instance of a header on any page, the change will be replicated on all instances on all pages. The catch, though, is when you use lists in the header. Making list fields global doesn't mean that their item lists are global -- which causes other headaches.
In the end, because of the problems I've described, I had to resort to cheating a little but if you think about it, it's not really cheating. What the form does is whenever the team list value changes, it removes all instances of the DetailsSF rows. This has the effect of also removing all instances of the DetailTitlesSF headers accross the current page set (and removes all pages but the first one). Then 6 new instances of the DetailsSF row are generated and the DetailTitlesSF header is re-populated using the new selection in the team list. After that, if a new page gets generated because of the number of instances of the DetailsSF rows, the new instances of the task lists in the new instances of the DetailTitlesSF header will have the correct list of items based on the current value of the team list. In the end, even though I'm cheating by removing all instances of the DetailsSF row in order to reset the lists in the DetailTitlesSF header, it's not really cheating because if you change teams, then it should be assumed that all data entered doesn't apply anymore because the tasks change as well... Convinced?
The best way to understand this is to check-out the sample form.
Let me know if you have any questions.

How do I create a drop down list to e-mail a form for signature.

The desired workflow is for
1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
Lieutenant 2;
4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
and Battalion Chief 2
5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

To pass the selected data to a variable from the drop down list in abap wd

Hi,
I have already created a drop down list and populated it with data from table by using the node and linking it with the internal table. Now I need to know which element is selected so based on that I need to perform some function. eg. based on the selected data , i need to populate the next drop down list.
A demo code will be really helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Tenzin

Hi,
On selcting the value from the drop down, we have one event ONSELECT.
Write the code in this event.
Get the attribute value to lV_xxxxxx using get attribute.
then using that you can fill the next DDBK attribute.
method wddoinit .
data:
        lo_nd_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lo_el_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_element,
        ls_spfli type wd_this->element_spfli.
data:
      lv_carrid LIKE ls_sflight-carrid,
         itab_carrid type wd_this->elements_spfli,
         wa_carrid type wd_this->element_spfli,
         lo_nodeinfo_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
         lt_value_set type wdy_key_value_table,
         ls_value_set type wdy_key_value.
lo_nd_spfli = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_spfli ).
lo_nodeinfo_spfli = lo_nd_spfli->get_node_info( ).
select carrid
    from spfli
    into corresponding fields of table itab_carrid.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    sort itab_carrid by carrid.
    delete adjacent duplicates from itab_carrid comparing carrid.
endif.
loop at itab_carrid into wa_carrid.
    ls_value_set-key = wa_carrid-carrid.
    ls_value_set-value = wa_carrid-carrid.
    append ls_value_set to lt_value_set.
endloop.
lo_nodeinfo_spfli->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'CARRID'
value_set = lt_value_set ).
endmethod.
in the event of first DDBK, write the select statement wsing where condition of lv_XXX.
and append the record as above.

How to populate drop down list in infopath 2010 with form Active Directory resources.

I want to populate drop down list in infopath 2010 with Active directory resources.
Kindly let me know how to do this.

Actually I posted an alternative approach, whoops. This is the Web service way, but both will work;

How to populate drop down list in infopath 2010 with form library column

I created one column of choice type and have put 3 values on this column in form library in site.
and one drop down list in form library at infopath 2010 but how to populate the dropdown in infopath populate with this column.

Hi John, you should either add the values to your InfoPath dropdown manually or create a new list in SharePoint with the values and make a connection to that list to populate your dropdown.

Drop down lists populating text fields on a page different from the dropdown.

Hello all,
I have a form with several pages. The first page contains a number of drop down lists. These drop down lists, when an option is chosen, is to populate a text field on another page. I can get the drop down list to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script doesn't work. Can anyone offer a solution? I've used javascript on change for the scripts.

Thanks Paul,
I have been able to solve the drop down list question, thanks to your help.
I have another question that involves locking specific fields in a four page form which contains approximately 100 fields that need to be locked before the end user completes the remaining fields. How do I lock individual subforms so that the remaining fields remain open and editable? The final version of the form, will have at least 200 fields in it that will also need to be locked in sections.
I can lock all the fields using the lock all fields button, but have been unable to make it work for just part of the form.
I've emailed the draft form. It would be really helpful if I had one example of a locked subform on the form I'm struggling with.
Thanks for your help.

PWA - Access error when using a drop down list populated by SharePoint list

I am using PWA 2013. I have a list of future projects. On the form for a future project I have a department field. That field is a drop down that pulls from a Sharepoint list of departments. When I try to use the Create Projects button from
an item on the future project list it fails and gives me the error: "Sorry, you don't have access to this page". If I delete the department dropdown field off my form then the create project button functions normally and gives me the field
mapping prompt. I have full control as an admin to the project web app site which is what comes up if I request access and then go in and grant myself access. This is the same problem for everyone except the person that setup Sharepoint so that
makes me think I am missing a critical permission. I tried Site Collections admin and it didn't make a difference.

I'm not sure if I understood your question clearly but here is a good resource on how to get attributes from "GetUserProfileByName" web services:
http://blog.mangroveweb.com/pre-populating-an-infopath-from-with-mysql-data-using-a-net-web-service/using-sharepoints-getuserprofilebyname-web-service-to-retrieve-ad-account-information/
Regarding filtering dropdown list then this could be done by applying form on-load rules.
Hope this helps

Multiple filters in a drop-down list in SharePoint 2010 browser forms

I am using Infopath forms based on SharePoint 2010 lists. I am trying to filter a drop-down control based on inputs in two previous controls such that it looks up information in a list and returns options where A = A and B = B. This filter works when using
Preview in Infopath 2010, but does not work on the list itself on publishing; it only filters where A = A. The B = B filter is ignored.
1) Is there a workaround I can use so that the browser form respects the filter in the same way the Infopath form does?
or, if not:
2) Is there a way to force SharePoint 2010 to open up "new item" or "edit item" in InfoPath instead of in a browser form?
Thanks.

Thanks for your help!
1) That was my concern. When I googled around, it seemed like it wasn't possible to do filters at all in DLL in browser forms, yet I had one that was working. So I was curious why one worked but two didn't.
2) When I try to publish an InfoPath form from Designer that's based on a SharePoint list, the only option it gives me is to publish to that list, not to a document library.
2a) If I did figure out how to do it, would it still submit the information to the list? I don't want a form library scenario where each list item is its own form based on a single template, I want a list I can also manage with Access.

Drop down list populated with parent entity

Hi,
I am new with all these ADF in jdev. Let's say I have this model parent -> child. I created toplink mapping, ejb facade and adf data control.
If I want to create a form for child with one drop down box will be parentId. How do I do that?
Thank you

Hi,
if you use ADF, then you create a data control from the EJB session facade. This exposes the method to query all parents as well as the details. You drag and drop the result set of the details as a form. Then you remove the attribute for which you want to create a drp down list. Expand the detail result node and drag the attribute to the form. In teh opened context menu choose selectOne. In teh opened binding dialog, create a new list binding and choose the result set of the parent. Map the paren't PK to teh detail FK attribute and choose one or more display attributes
otn.oracle.com/products/jdev has tutorials on this as well

Elemente aus Drop Down Liste kopieren/einfügen Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe eine Frage zum Drop Down Feld, habe mehrere Felder z.B. Uhrzeit1 Uhrzeit2 usw.
Im Feld Uhrzeit1 gebe ich im Reiter Optionen in der Elementenliste Werte ein, 10:30 , 10:45 , 11:00 usw. eben den kompletten Tag in 15 Minuten abständen. ist natürlich mühsam, wenn ich davon 36 Felder habe, und müsste diese jeweils einzeln Feld für Feld eingeben.
Ist es nicht möglich diese zu kopieren wie copy/paste Funktion im Feld Elementenlist, oder wird im PDF Dokument ein Script abgelegt, den man dann öffnet und dann einfügen kann? Die Werte der Elementenliste müssten ja irgendwo abgelegt sein.
Gruss
