Fill up combo box

Hello,
Is there a way to fill up a combo box that is not by adding line by line with the collection of ValidValues? In VB.Net there is a property call DataBinding that allows to link the combo box with a DataTable, that makes the combo box load immediately.
What I will like to have is the same combo box that shows when you look for a item inside of a invoice or quote.
Thanks,
Yaco

I believe to achieve that you can ...
1. Open your form using the Screen Painter and then set the combo box Alias property to the field where the ValidValues are. Set its DataBound property to true and indicate the Table (same as above indicated in the DBDataSource). If you can't use the Screen Painter then you will have to do it by code.
2. Add a DBDataSource on your form that points to the Invoice or Quote table, like this
Dim oDS As SAPbouiCOM.DBDataSource
oDS = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add(strTableName) 'add your table here, to find out look on the SAP SDK Help Center under Database Table Reference.
This is done at Load time.
The next time you run you should see the combo filled with the valid values from the field without you having to indicate them by code. The field of course must have ValidValues declared.

Fill a combo box based on the selection of another combo box

Hi All,
I am new to jsp & java script. I have a arraylist of communities and there are 2 combo boxes meant for source community & destination community.
First user will select Source community , after that I've to remove that community from list and display the option for destination community combo box.
Here the problem is I am getting the source community value in a java script function - "checkSource() " which I've written at the "onClick" of source community.
Now java script variable has that community & list of community is a java variable, so I am not able to remove that community from java list.
Please suggest in the same.
I've written like this -
function checkSource()
     var selIndex = document.targetForm.srcgroupname.selectedIndex;
var srcCommunity = document.targetForm.srcgroupname.options[selIndex].value;
alert("Selected Src Community-"+srcCommunity);
     <%
     alert("Community length-"+community.size());
     community.remove(community.getIndex( %> srcCommunity <%));
     alert(community.size());
     %>
But this is not working. community is a java list.
Please help....
Thanks in Advance

Do it with AJAX. Here -> http://www.iem.pw.edu.pl/~opalam/sample/TestAJAX.zip You can download a small, sample project that presents AJAX.
In the project Servlet, Gson and Jquery is used. When onchange is fired in the first select box a js script method is invoked. This method uses ajax to get the json (gson is used to transfer java objects to json) data from the servlet depending on the value of selected option. When data are obtained the second select box is populated. Of course it might be written better but the general idea is clearly visible which was my goal. Hope this helps.

Auto-filling a Combo Box

Hi everyone,
I am working on a form using Developer 6, and I have created a list item that is being populated dynamically. The list item is a combo box. I originally used a poplist, but it did not behave the way I intended. I would like to allow the user to be able to type in the letter 'P' and display the first item 'Pan'. Then if the user types in a 'u' after the 'P' they would get another item 'Purse' displayed in the combo box. I have tried using the LIKE% function with no success. Has anyone been successful doing this? If so, what does the code look like? I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks in advance.

It seems as though in my calculation code this line:
if (a=="") event.value = ""
conflicts with this line:
else if(a==0) event.value = "Yes".
I changed the values in my code so that if a>10 it would return a "No" and if a<10 it would return a "Yes" and it worked perfectly. However, when I use the above code (a==0, it just leaves the box blank. I would take out the first line of code (a==""), but I would like the box to be blank until data has been entered into the form.

Hi Valerij,
The ComboBox control in an MSI dialog uses the ComboBox table to populate the items in it. To get what you want, you need to update the ComboBox table in the MSI package with your application and run the MSI package. The following KB article describes how to dynamically populate a ListBox control in Windows Installer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291329
This method introduced in the above KB article also applies to populating a ComboBox control in Windows Installer.
I don't think it's possible to run the application as a Custom Action from within the MSI package because the application will modify the content of the MSI package which is currently running. So you need to launch the MSI package from within your application after updating the ComboBox table. In short, when installing, just run your application which updates the ComboBox table and install the MSI package.
Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Show text box from one combo box selection

Total newb here and need help. I tried searching for a javascript to copy/paste, but without any luck. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.2.0. If you could help me out with the javascript or with directions on how to make the following be accomplished, I would be greatly appreciative.
I am creating a fillable PDF and currently have a combo box that is labeled "Internship Satisfied By" with the options of "TCoB PDP", "MRKTNG 4185", and "Other College". I would like a hidden text box (where the end user can fill in to explain) to become visible only when the end user selects the "Other College" option, but stay hidden for the other selections. The hidden text box is labeled "Internship Explained".
Thanks in advance! Jarrod

Use this code as the combo box's validation script:
if (event.value == "Other College") {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.visible;
} else {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.hidden;

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How to change screen combo box value from a method?

Hi,
I have a screen that has a combo box and an ALV.
the combo box has the line numbers of the data in the ALV.
you can select the line item and then the ALV changes...
I fill the combo with function VRM_SET_VALUE.
all is good once the user changes the combo box.
I want to enable the user to click (hotspot) on ALV and then to ... and to change the value of the combo box to the line number he clicked on.
I couldn't change the value inside that box.
The combo box is declared as global parameter.
when I assign a value to it inside the method, it is good. but once back to PAI, it is the old value.
Do you have any idea how to set up that value?
Thanks.

Itay,
When you load the combo box, you should be setting a "key" for each entry in the combo box.
See below:
move '2010FY' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Full Year' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q1' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q1' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q2' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q2' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q3' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q3' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q4' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q4' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move 'COMBO1' to name. "name of Combo box in the screen
call function 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
    exporting
      id = name
      values = list.
So add these "keys" to a hidden column in the ALV grid. Then .... when the user presses a hotspot, pass the value of the hidden column (for the selected row) into the COMBO1 box.
move '2010'FY' into Combo1. " if they selected Full Year of 2010

How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums

HI Experts,
Good Mornong.How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums?
Regards And Thanks,
M.Thippa Reddy

hi,
loading data in to the combobox on form load.but, it should be done when atleast one row is active.
the values what ever you are inserting in to combo should be less than or eqhal to 100 or 150.if it exceeds beyond that performance issue arises.it takes more time to load all the data.so, it is better to have 100 or less.
oMatrix.AddRow()
RS = Nothing
RS = ocompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
RS.DoQuery("select ItemCode,ItemName from oitm")
oCombo = oMatrix.Columns.Item("ColumnUID").Cells.Item(oMatrix.RowCount).Specific
For i = 1 To RS.RecordCount
      If RS.EoF = False Then
            oCombo.ValidValues.Add(RS.Fields.Item("ItemCode").Value,RS.Fields.Item("ItemName").Value)
            RS.MoveNext()
      End If
Next
the above code is inserting data from database to column combobox.
you can fill combo directly also as shown below.
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("x","1")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("y","2")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("z","3")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("","")
and what ever the values you are filling into combo should be unique.other wise it shows valid value exists.

data at this point will be some number between 0 and 7 and
your appended
return.

>

> data := ReadExtFile("list2.txt")
This will again be a string that contains a number and a
return.
> Convert string to list :
> id_list := [:]
Before, you are populating id_list with a single number that
is the _ID_ of
the winCtrl . Now, you are changing it to an empty property
list. Why?
> AddProperty(data^id_list,controls ,GetLine(data,1))
The first parameter of AddProperty is supposed to be the name
of a variable
which is a property list. As such, you couldn't use a
concatenated
expression there. Even if you could, an Authorware variable
cannot begin
with a number, which data always will in this instance. It
also cannot
contain a return. _And_ the characters "[:]" are not valid
parts of a
variable name either. Next, you're trying to add a property
that looks
something like:
"Button\rCheckBox\rCheckListBox\rColorCombo\rComboBox\rDriveCombo\rEdit..."
While a property list _can_ have strings instead of symbols
as the keys to
the values, this is not documented or officially supported.
Even if it
were, you _cannot_ have a key with returns in it, and I have
no idea why
you'd want to!
Here are the steps you should be using:
1) Create your WinCtrl and store its ID in a regular numeric
value (I'll
call it wcID for convenience)
2) Set its Items property to listing.
3) Check for the existence (FileType) of your file with the
value of the
winCtrl in it. If it exists, set the value property of wcID
to the contents
of the file.
4) You're using wcS as your change event, so set up a
conditional on false
to true with wcS as the condition.
5) Inside that response, write the "value" property (without
the return) of
the wcID control to file.
