Filtering Drop-down Values Adobe Interactive Form

Hi,
I am working on adobe interactive form, in which I have a normal drop-down. Now the requirement is, depending on the value of another field (country) , I need to display only the states pertaining to the country being displayed. In my drop-down I get a list of all states irrespective of the country.
I have created an Interactive Adobe form using WebDynpro ABAP. I have populated the view context in my business logic and I am using this context to populate my drop-down. I have a root node named as NODE_ROOT which is of cardinality 1:1 and a child node named as NODE_STATE of cardinality 0:n with State, State_Desc and CountryID as its attributes.
In my drop-down list I have mapped the Item to $record.NODE_STATE.DATA[*], Item_text to the attribute State and Item_Value to the Attribute State_Desc. I have also enabled the "Show Dynamic Binding" option from Tools->Options->Data Binding.
The Drop-down is working fine. I would like to filter these values based on country by making use of CountryID in my form. Is it possible through scripting? If so, how do I do it?
Sample code would be of great help.
Thanks,
Anusha

Populating Drop-down List in Interactive Forms for Java

Hi,all
I need to populate a drop-down list in Interactive Form.
I tried to do it by using Dynamic Properties of the drop-down
list,but didn't give nothing.At the same time I have successfully
populated a simple drop-down list(on webdynpro view),which I
replaced near my InteractiveForm.
What may be the problem?
Regards,
Michael

Use the DDL from the Web Dynpro pallette. Bind the same/ similar attribute of the DDL you used in the web Dynpro view in the interactive form also... this should work..
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

Reading the drop down value in interactive adobe forms in WDJ

Hi,
I have a scenario like this:
Drop down menu with values being populated from model . when i select the value from drop down and update the backend with that value, it is not done. It always takes the same value ( first one in the drop down list) and fails to take the selected value.
could anybody throw some light as how to deal with the drop down in adobe forms in WebDynpro Java?
Are there any specific settings for these?
I have taken the drop down menu from WebDynpro Native library.
Kind Regards,
Charan.

Hi Charan,
Did u try to populate the data into the dropdown with the help of Simple types.
I faced the same issue, that got resolved when i binded the dropdown with Simple types that were populated.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Fill Drop down list in Interactive form

Hello.
I am trying to display multiple values form the context of an form, so not web dynpro! I am using a valuelist object for that.
When I test the form I am only getting to see the first value of my internal table and the drop down list cannot be expanded.
If I analyse the XML I see that the items are there which I want to display.
What is the cause of this, or is this only possible with Interactive form in an Web dynpro scenario (I hope not)
Regards,
Harrie Prinsen

Hi Harrie,
As per this post, I understand that you are going to use a simple ADOBE PRINT FORM which fetches data from ECC and displays it in the form...Am I right?
See, if it is going to be a Simple PRINT FORM which is NON-INTERACTIVE in nature, I dont see the need of DROP DOWN LIST in this scenario. I think that could be the reason why always the first item of the INTERNAL TABLE is displayed all the time.
If you have an INTERACTIVE SCENARIO where the user can select an option from the drop-down, then you can go with ABAP WD/JAVA WD/ISR Adobe Interactive Forms.

Drop down box in interactive form UI element in webdynpro

Hello All,
I want to get a drop down list in adobe interactive form. I did the following.
1. created a simple dictionary data type and populated it with values
2. created a context and bound it to the simple dictionary type.
3. when I drag the element to the pdf page, it shows it as a drop down list.
4. when I run the application also, the drop down list comes but the values are not populated. I am not able to use the dropdown also.
What should I be doing now to get a dropdownlist that works?
Regards,
Chander

Hello Chander,
what you want to create is a drop down list populated by the Web Dynpro context values. When you use drag-and-drop it just creates a regular drop down list (where you need to specify the values in the Designer).
However if you select in your tools palette the Web Dynpro tab you will find special drop down lists. So here is what you do:
1. Drag and drop a Value Help Drop-down List element from the Web Dynpro Library tab to the Body Pages pane.
2. Drag and drop your node from the Data View tab onto it. This action binds the layout element to the corresponding node.
Cheers
Matthias

Drop-downs on the interactive form?

Hello
I put a drop-down field (its lables is COUNTRY OF VISITOR ) on the interactive form (my_form_of_visitor_info) and bound it to a data source, which data source is passing USA, UK, fine, working well. It should always ALLOW only 3 characters max. length
I also gave a ability to modify/input end-user own value in this drop-down field by checking "Allow Custom Text Entry" box of the field tab of the object palette, fine.
To accommidate all the label(COUNTRY OF VISITOR) of the field, i gave the WIDTH as 5 inches.
But, now user is entering CANADA, but It should always ALLOW only 3 characters max. length. I did not see any MAX.CHARACTERS ALLOWED feature for the drop-downs as like TEXT FIELDS!
Pls. let me know, How can i get it done this rquirement that systsem should allow ONLY 3 characters in this field? I saw some VALIDATION PATTERN for Zipcode, Tele #..but, i am not sure can i use it for my drop-down field? if so, How?
Thank you

Drop-down list in interactive form go up and sounds weird

Hello everybody,
I've a problem with a drop down list in an interactive form in my webdynpro java application.
I've an interactive form in my view, display type is "native".
I've put a drop down list in the pdf and filled it with some elements taken from a bapi.
It looks like this
IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeListePoste().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("ListeTypePoste");
          ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
          countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
          IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
          countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
          for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().size();i++){
               IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement element = (IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement)wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().getElementAt(i);
               countryValueSet.put(element.getPoste_Code(),element.getPoste_Libelle());
then I've binded my drop down list with the element of the context "ListeTypePoste"
When I run the application I can see the list in my drop down but it goes "up"
Like this:
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7263/20111207170807.png
Instead of having my list going down it goes up.
And when I click the arrow to open the list I've a weird BEEEEEP like an error.
At the end the list works well and if I choose an element it's well selected, but I would like to take of the BEEEP and to have the regular list going down.
Any ideas?

Hi
I think you problem can be traced to the place where you put your drop down.
As far as I understand your drop down funcions well.
Try to move it into another container or best put it under RoorContainer. Test it.

Drop down lists in Interactive forms:HCM Forms&Processes

Hi Experts,
I am working in HCM Forms and Process.
I have 2 dropdown lists in my interactive form such as COUNTRY, STATE. The STATE dropdown should be populated based on the COUNTRY field dynamically.
I have written the logic for STATE dropdown in the method GET_STATES of Custom Generic Service Implementation Class and that method is used in the OPERATION of FIELDGROUP in Form Scenario.
The Java Script in the EXIT event for COUNTRY is as follows.
xfa.record.CONTROL_PARAM.ISR_EVENT.VALUE = u201CGET_STATES";
app.eval(u201Cevent.target.SAPSubmit();u201D);
Still the the STATE lists is not populating in the form in Portal.
Please provide some valuable inputs on this.
Thanks in advance

Hi Mukesh,
Thanks for your response.
It seems the script is not triggering .I didnt get the alert message.
I am working in Citrix and SAP GUI 710 has been installed now. Still, I can't insert Webdynpro Script. It is showing one error "Error while inserting Webdynpro script".
Earlier, in SAP GUI 640, I was able to see with the Data view with the interface import parameters. Now the Data view(Left side of Layout) has no elements , although the form is linked with an Abap dictionary based interface.
Do you have any idea why these kind of errors are coming? Is this the problem with Citrix ?

Over ride the drop-down value?

Hello,
I am developing an VISITOR Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)"
I have a bunch of drop-downs in my interactive form, done by dragging & dropiing the 'Drop-down list' object, at the end i binded it with some data source, working fine, say its COUNTRY list.
As soon as use opened the form, he saw the 'USA' prepopulated in the drop-down field, fine.
User dropped down the entries, he saw a couple, like USA, Canada, UK, Spain, fine.
But, now user want to enter / override this USA entry with his own value, like FRANCE, but, my form is not allowing, its behaving like a 'readOnly' field!
Pls. let me know how to over ride a entry of drop-down values, as per user wanting value?

Hello Srinivas,
You can overide the entry of drop-down list by:
selecting the "Allow Custom Text Entry" box of the field tab of the object palette
of that drop-down list.

I cannot able to view as a default value in the drop down, which I have selected some values after save operation I am not getting any values in the drop down as a default.
Example:
The dynamic table contains 5 rows (Each and every row Drop down contains one to ten values).
1)     I have selected second value in the Drop down (ROW1)
2)     I have selected fourth value in the Drop down (ROW2)
3)     I have selected fifth value in the Drop down (ROW3)
4)     I have selected seventh value in the Drop down (ROW4)
5)     I have selected third value in the Drop down (ROW5)

Drop down Values in Adobe form

Dear All,
Greetings.
I am using the Adobe interactive form for E Recruitement(copying the standard and changing it as per the requirement). When i am using the Drop down value for one of the field. Instead of the drop down its showing as a POP-UP with all the possible values.
I am not able to predict what the problem is. I need to have a drop down, instead of the pop up.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Thanks
Ram M

Hi Ram,
Please use a Enumerated Drop down list ffrom the library, seems currently you have Extended Value selctor in your form.
This will hopefully resolve the issue.
