Drop down write in- multiple lines

I have a drop down and in it the user can select one choice or write in their choice. But when the user goes to write in they can only write in one line. Is there some way to change that to the space provided?
Thanks,
Kerry

I'm having a similiar issue here at my project.
What is the filename of your file you're writing? did you include %SEQ% or a similiar naming convention?

Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
TextField1.rawValue
After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
DropDownList1.clearItems()
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
DropDownList3.clearItems()
DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

I'm having problem with text boxes. Whenever i hit the enter button to start a new line or paragraph, the cursor doesn't drop down to the next line. Instead i get this little red + sign in the box.

You are absolutely right. Thought Enter meant Enter. I was wrong. Thank you for the help.

How can I enable the automated drop down for the subject line on the email page

How can I enable the automated drop down for the subject line on the email page as I send more than 300 emails everyday with the same subject line. Before it use to happen in my gmail account but now its not. Please help me as its increasing my work time because I have to type the subject line again and again on each email I send. Please help me guys.

This is usually caused by one or more bookmarks having a long title.
You can check that folder in the Library and shorten long names.
* Bookmarks > Show Al Bookmarks
*Bug 626066 - History, Bookmarks menus too wide because of pages with long titles on 64bits

When sending a PDF form by email, is there a way to make a button into a drop-down to select multiple email addresses?

Basically, I'm wanting to have multiple recipients set up within a button, so I can pick and choose who and when I send the form to. I can only seem to get it to either send to only one email address, or to send to multiple email addresses all at one time, without the option to select a recipient upon pressing the button.
If anyone could help, I'd be really grateful.
Many thanks in advance.

First of all, a drop-down menu doesn't allow for multiple item selection. You'll need a list-box field for that.
Once you have that set up you can use the value(s) selected in this field as the recipients of the email.

"Open With" drop-down menu has multiple instances of apps

When I right-click on a file and select "Open With", the resulting drop-down menu contains many, many multiple instances of the same app - five Firefox's, five Quicktime Player's, at least three instances of every relevant app. Why is that happening, and how can I clean that menu up?

I happen to have the same problem. However I cannot find the two files in step two:
2.
Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
* com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
* com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
I did input my UID number as you are told to do so in the instructions. The only I can find is the one in step six a:
6.
Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
1. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. See Note [3].
Is there a reason as to why I cannot find those files? Oh and I did delete it; all it did was reset the file associations.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. May your loins be blessed with fertility.

How do I make it so a word will drop down to the next line instead of splitting in half with a (-) ex: awes-ome

In Pages it is making words slit in half instead of dropping the whole word down onto the next line. How do I change it so that the whole word goes down?

J,
In the Document Inspector, Document tab, turn off Hyphenate.

Can't write to multiple lines to file...please help

Hi all ,
The following is trying to write to message receive from UDP packets. The problems is data_output can only write a single line of message to the file "serverlog.txt". How can write multiple line of message to the file?
     private void processUDPPackets(SelectionKey selectionKey){
          DatagramChannel datagramChannel = (DatagramChannel) selectionKey.channel();
          try{
               file_output = new FileOutputStream("serverlog.txt");
               data_output = new DataOutputStream(file_output);
               while(datagramChannel.receive(byteBuf) != null) {
                    byteBuf.flip();
                    charBuf = decoder.decode(byteBuf);
                    data_output.writeChars(charBuf.toString());
                    data_output.writeChars("\n");
                    byteBuf.clear();
               charBuf.clear();
          }catch(IOException e){
               selectionKey.cancel();
               System.out.println("Logout:: Server port:" + datagramChannel.socket().getLocalPort() +
                                        ". Client: " + datagramChannel.socket().getInetAddress() + " / " +
                                        datagramChannel.socket().getPort());
     }

Hi,
Instead of data_output.writeChars("\n");, do data_output.writeChars(System.getProperty("line.separator"));Rgds,

How do I create a drop down menu with multiple items in Adobe Acrobat 9?

I am trying to create a drop down menu with four items within a field box. When I try to do this
the font is too big and it just doesn't fit.

You can use panel widget to create manual menu where set to show target on rollover.
Something like this :

I can only go back one page at a time because the drop-down jump back multiple pages feature is missing; how do I get this feature back?

On Firefox 3.6 the back and forward buttons also had a drop-down menu to enable me to jump back to one of the last, say, 10 pages I had viewed rather than only go back one at a time. Also, the reload button appears to be missing and I can't figure out how to bring these back. Otherwise, an awesome upgrade; thanks for all your hard work on this fantastic product.

You can right-click either Back or Forward button to open the tab history list.

Drill down report:hide multiple line from basic list and disp in secon list

hi experts ,
I was using checkbox in basic list and user is suppose to check or tick the checkbox .
So in the secondary list I want to display only those row which which are selected (or checked) in checkbox by the user .
I had tried to use HIDE techineque but it is storing (or hiding) only single (the last which was checked) row and not multiple rows , thats why only single row is display on to secondary list .
So how to hide (or store) multiple row in secondary list to solve this problem .
thanks and warm regards ,
mehar .

Hi,
You can include the Checkbox field in your Internal Table of type i and when the AT LINE-SELECTION is generated, check for those entries in your internal table with the Checkbox = 'X'. Move them into a Separate Internal Table and Display them in your Secondary List.
Hope it was Helpful.
Thanks and Regards,

How to write to multiple lines in text item?

I tried to write 2 lines in the text item, however only return one line:
:myqueues.queue :=      'hello' || chr(10) ||'world';
It gives me only 'hello' in the first line and nothing else in the 2nd line.
Is there any settings needs to be activated in the property of text item?

I'm reading a file and imports the strings:
DECLARE
     v_filename VARCHAR(50);
     v_handle text_io.file_type;
     readline varchar(50);
BEGIN
     v_filename := get_file_name(file_filter=>'All files(*.*)|*.txt|');
     v_handle := text_io.fopen(v_filename, 'r');
text_io.get_line(v_handle, readline);
:myqueues.queue := rtrim(readline);
text_io.get_line(v_handle, readline);
:myqueues.queue := :myqueues.queue || chr(10) || rtrim(readline) ;
text_io.get_line(v_handle, readline);
:myqueues.queue := :myqueues.queue || chr(10) || rtrim(readline) ;
     text_io.get_line(v_handle, readline);
:myqueues.queue := :myqueues.queue || chr(10) || rtrim(readline) ;
     text_io.fclose(v_handle);
END;
This function reads the file and returns 4 strings, each of which takes one line in one record of text item.
My question is: can I get 4 records, assigning each with one string from the input file?
Thanks a lot.

Is there a way on a MAC to create a Combo Box Drop Down list with multiple email addresses?

I'm trying to create a Submit To button on a form that allows me to choose between five different people and their email addresses.
This one form can be sent to five different people, and if I just want to send to one, how do I program that in a combo box?
Can anyone please help??

Yes I believe JavaScript may be the answer because I can't seem to get anything else to work.
Currently the email will only need to be sent to one recipient at a time.
I am very unfamiliar with JavaScript and am just starting to dive into it. Would you be able to help me with the coding?
Thank you this sounds very promising!

How do you make the sentences you input in a drop down list wrap to the next line?

Increase the number of lines in a drop down list

Firefox offers up to 20 lines in its drop down lists with a slider to access additional lines. For example, on password entry, to select the n'th character of the password from A-Z and 0-9 requires a drop down list of 36 lines but only 20 are on offer - irritating time-waster. Can the number of lines be extended?

Where is that drop-down list, on a webpage?
Please provide a screenshot of that issue. <br />
