Drop down search fields

Is there anyway to search a populated dropdown list for items without having to type the letter in order?
For example:
My dropdown list is filled with
ABC
CBA
SSA
Currently if I type A first in the dropdown list only the ABC result will show not the CBA or SSA eventhough they have it in there structure. How can I make so that when I type A all three will show?
Thanks

How can i select more than one song from drop down search bar

sometimes to make a playlist i will search my music library for a word & then add all the songs with that word in the title
the drop down search bar will not allow me to select more than one song
or
will it? & i just can't suss out how... maybe you know?
if so, please tell me~!!!
thank you

hey i tried that before i posted this question... i tried all of the normal ways one would use to select more than one item...
any click of any kind at all takes you out of the search drop down & into the main itunes window... where you are deposited back into the songs alphabetically... no longer are you seeing the results of the search...
sigh
at the risk of sounding like one of those people, the "old" itunes did not have this problem...
grrrr... it seems to be that pesky drop down menu~ if only you could see the search results in the main list as opposed to only in the drop down thing

Copy text fields and drop down menu fields

Hi,
Using LiveCycle Designer ES, I am making a simple form with some text fields and along with some drop-down menu fields. With the resulting pdf, I need for one to be able to select the appropriate selection in the drop-down menus. Then using cntl-a to select everything and then cntl-v to copy it into a text document. This approach will only copy the text fields and not what is showing in the drop-down menu field. Is there any way to solve this problem? The end users computer has limited tools and software cannot be installed on it.
Thank you for considering this issue and any help you may provide,
ja

Hi,
I don't really know if the text field can be selected using Ctl+a, but if that is possible how about adding extra text field that is linked to pulldown menu?
If the usage of the PDF is only for copying, then I would make a formcalc or javascript to combine all the text into one text field so that user only need to copy paste one field.

Can't set InfoPath 2010 Drop Down List field with C#

Hi Guys,
Here I go again, last time it was a date field, this time it is a drop down list. The applications does this: When the user comes into the form, they have the option of creating a new form via a hyperlink button on the top of the page, this button creates
a new IP Page of the same exact type of page that it is coming from. The issue I am having is that one of my fields called ddlStatus isn't coming up correctly in the copied form, not sure why? If anyone can help I would be eternally grateful. Here is a copy
of my code:
if (e.InputParameters !=
null)
                            System.Text.
StringBuilder status =
new System.Text.StringBuilder();
string ddlStatus =
string.Empty;
if (e.InputParameters.TryGetValue("ddlStatus",
out ddlStatus))
                                status.AppendLine(ddlStatus);
                                nav.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:ddlStatus", NamespaceManager).SetValue(status.ToString());
Best regards, Mike

Well, ok, so I set my code as such:
   addStatus()
if (e.InputParameters !=
null)
                           System.Text.
StringBuilder status =
new System.Text.StringBuilder();
string ddlStatus =
string.Empty;
if (e.InputParameters.TryGetValue("ddlStatus",
out ddlStatus))
XPathNavigator nav1 = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group",
NamespaceManager);
                                nav1.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:DisplayName",
NamespaceManager).SetValue(status.ToString());
                                nav1.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:Value",
this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(status.ToString());
and I also created a new method called addStatus() which looks like this:
public
void addStatus()
try
SPSite site =
new
SPSite(http://MyTestBox);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPList list = web.Lists["Status"];
SPListItemCollection listitems = list.Items;
XPathNavigator nav =
this.CreateNavigator().
                    SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group",
this.NamespaceManager);//
Note: "/my:myFields/my:Countries" => Group Countries
foreach (SPListItem
li in listitems)
XPathNavigator newNode =
null;
                    newNode = nav.Clone();
                    newNode.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:DisplayName",this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(li["Title"].ToString());
                    newNode.SelectSingleNode(
"/my:myFields/my:secInfo/my:Group/my:Value",this.NamespaceManager).SetValue(li["Title"].ToString());
                    nav.InsertAfter(newNode);
                    newNode =
null;
                nav.DeleteSelf();
                nav =
null;
catch
but it still isn't working??

Google Autocomplete + Drop-Down Search History

I just updated to Firefox 4. Only one major problem.
I know all the methods to disable Google's automated AutoComplete function.
I've used them for years with Firefox.
The methods eliminated Google's search suggestions but retained everything I typed in the search engine (personal search history in drop-down box).
But now, after updating to FF4, every method to block AutoComplete now all-of-a-sudden blocks the typed-in searches (personal search history) from the drop-down menu.
The drop-down box of search terms I've typed is missing.
What can I do to re-enable the drop-down box of what I've typed in, while blocking the automated search suggestions?

That problem is listed as a known issue with the Google Toolbar.
See:

Use of Zero (0) in Required Drop-Down List Field

Using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1x and Acrobat Pro Extended 9.1.2.
I have a drop-down list (DDL) on a form for entering a quantity. For certain reasons (i.e., quantity bundling/packages), I want to use a DDL.
For one thing, if I set the default value to zero (0), that value does not appear in the DDL in the published form.
Moreover, I've set the field to "User Entered - Required". However, the form doesn't recognize/validate zero (0) as an entry in this field, and I need it to.
Is there a trick to using a zero (0) as a value in a DDL, esp. one set to "required"?

I too was unable to recreate the error/condition, so, I deleted and
re-inserted the fields, without a problem.

How to restore PDF drop down picklist fields to the Word doc?

Can't click on drop-down search items

I have iTunes 11.1.4.62 on an HP Pavilion DV7 running Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit. iTunes used to work fine until a few updates ago. Whenever I search for something, lets say a song in my iTunes music library. The search results will drop-down, but nothing happens when I click on them. All I can do is hit enter to bring up what i'm looking for in the song list. I have discovered that if I run iTunes with administrator priveleges it will allow me to click on the search results. But it is tiring and annoying to have to do this every time I open iTunes. How do I fix this so it works all the time?

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Creat a drop down search (.ASP page)

I am trying to create a drop dpwn serch with muiltiple items,
we have a website were we carry about 90,000 parts and we want ppl
to be able to serch by there car model and stuff. Here is an
example,
CLICK
HERE. This is something that we are looking for. Any
suggestions.
Thanks

Each drop down list is actually in a separate form
When a selection is made in list one the form submits
and list 2 gets it's options from the resulting query. The
same
for list 3
This is typical for populating lists dynamically and involves
more than one table, in a database.
although not to complex in nature it will require scripting
skills
in your language choice, either asp, php or cf.

Can't open drop down form fields on iPad

I created a form in Adobe Pro, added several dropdowns and they don't work on the iPhone/iPad. You can see the box with the arrow, but only allows you to type custom text, no dropdown list populates. Below is a link to screen shot. Thanks for any help!!!
https://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-7157485-724135/IMG_0720.png

For the particular form in question, it was authored (likely initially via some field recognition algorithm) with several instances of a dropdown and a text field overlayed over one another. Because the text field is before the dropdown in field/tab order, on tap, it is processed first by the Mobile Reader. That is why your experience when using the Mobile Reader is that of a text field.
The Desktop Reader processes fields in reverse field/tab order (z-order), so the experience that user will see is that of a dropdown.
I can change the Mobile Reader to process fields as the Desktop does, in reverse field/tab order (z-order) so that both products are consistent. This doesn't help you in the short term, though. To make your form work in the short term with the existing Mobile Reader, you could remove the overlapping text fields (they are named as 'undefined_n' where n is a number). On a brief look, these overlapping text fields do not appear to serve a purpose (they do not appear to hold a hidden value or participate in javascript for example); they appear to be the after effect of some kind of (imperfect) automated field recognition algorithm.
Hope this helps,
Darrell

I want the drop down search engine back..vastly superior .no rhetoric

takes an extra click.what if i am surfing amazon ? making choices a visual self evident protocol is always simpler in the long run.some people tend to be a bit dyslexic .its not a fear .some refer to it as muscle memory .i play the guitar today in E tuning and now it is in D tuning .some things just work fine .leave it alone! create a option to change ;not a mandatory one!

If you miss being able to switch search engines without going
crazy with menus, try this out;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/context-search/ Context Search]''' {web link}
Expands the context menu's 'Search for' item into a list of
installed search engines, allowing you to choose the engine
you want to use for each search.

Adding new field in search screen (In drop down field)

Hi,
I have added a new field as search criteria in searching sales order. (means in drop down this field will be displayed.).
But, now I want to restrict the operators to only 'IS'. Can anybody help me, how to do this.
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi ,
You need to go to transaction code BSP_WD_CMPWB transaction, and then open up the component in your case it might be BT115S_SLSO and then go to the view BT115S_SLSO/SlsOrdSQ , and then go to the Configuration tab and then click on Copy Configuration (if there is no customer configuration) , assign the Role Config Key, and then it will go into the change mode and then you can default the value of IS for the field.
try out this, and let me know if it meets your requirement.
Hope it helps.
Regards
Sidd
