Font Selection - Drop Down Menu Selection

Hello All,
I have a general question about the FONT selection in the menu bar in iBA that has been puzzling me.
Sometimes when I select a font within a text box and move over to the Drop Down menu within iBA the default view is the top six most recently used fonts.
At other times the font selection moves down the long list of fonts alphabetically — say to Helvetica.
I have being playing around with the key combination keys to see if holding command key or a combination will change this.
By holding down the ALT / Option key turns the FONT PREVIEW view OFF so the menu is more compressed and maybe faster to load.
Any thoughts on this would be great. I would really like to be able to jump to my top six recently used fonts by holding down a hot key rather than at random times as it seems to me right now.
Any view?
Regards,
Nigel
TOP SIX MOST RECENT FONTS
ALL THEY WAY DOWN THE LIST

I downloaded it again and reinstalled it, restarted my pc, restarted illustrator, and it still didn't work - but, with my type selected, I went to Type -> Find Font and from there I managed to change it into aurulent_sans_mono ok. but even after that I still can't select it in the other ways. It's probably just a bug but at least I've found a way round it.
thanks for trying it out

How do I make a drop down menu selection show up in another web page?

What I am trying to accomplish is this. I have a page with various drop down menu selections that I want to transfer the selection to a secured web page. What happens now is once the selection is made it goes to the secure page but then the user has to again select the choice again. Is there way to keep the selection chosen in the linked page?

You can set the "selected" value in the second page based on the input from the first page.
Ignor the language referance used below for the example and simple use the concept with your desired language.
Second Page form:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<select name="testing" id="testing">
<option value="Value 1" <% if ( Passed values == Value 1 ) { %>selected="selected"<% } %>>Lable 1</option>
<option value="Value 2" <% if ( Passed values == Value 2 ) { %>selected="selected"<% } %>>Lable 2</option>
</select>

Triggering a database query and region update from drop-down menu selection

I suspect this must be covered somewhere in some how-to or documentation but Google hasn't been of much help here:
A user is filling in a form. The first entry in the form is a drop-down menu. Upon the user selecting a value in the menu I would like to query existing entries in the DB and present results to the user, in a region to the right hand-side of the form, as guidance (i.e.: "here's what we already have for this component").
I am unclear as to whether I should be using computations, javascript or a combination of both here. Pointers welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Take a look at this example, it does what you want.

Drop Down Menu selection query for recordset.

I am looking to utilize a dynamic drop down menu to query a recordset...I am using Colfusion to import an MS Access database that contains the following fields: "Model Date", "Name", "Points" and "Target". Each time the database updates, the "Model Date" field contains the date and time the model was run. I have figured out how to create a dynamic drop down using SELECT DISTINCT "model date" and have also figured out how to create the dynamic recordset to be displayed showing the "Name", "Points" and "Target" data.
I want the user to select the "Model Date" from the drop down, hit a submit button and then have the appropriate "Name", "Points" and "Target" data queried and shown below.
The query should take the selection from the "model date" dropdown and then query the "name", "points" and "target" fields for that particular "model date"
I admit my knowledge of SQL and Coldfusion is not the best, but it seems like this is a somewhat simple task and I am just missing one or two pieces of the cog to put it all together.
The database basically looks like this:
Model Date...........Name..........Points........Target
8/1/2010 08:00......John Doe.....1,250.........5.55%
8/1/2010 08:00......Jane Doe.....850............2.35%
8/1/2010 08:00......Bill Smith....11,832........-123.23%
8/2/2010 09:02......John Doe.....1,323.........6.67%
8/2/2010 09:02......Jane Doe.....1,001.........3.21%
8/2/2010 09:02......Bill Smith....10,235........-110.26%
The dropdown will only show the "model dates"
8/1/2010 08:00
8/2/2010 09:02
For example, if 8/1/2010 08:00 was selected from the dropdown, I want the following displayed:
Name..................Points...................Target
John Doe.............1,250....................5.55%
Jane Doe.............850.......................2.35%
Bill Smith............11,832...................-123.23%
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Mike

My second paragraph talks about just displaying the filtered data, so I'm assuming that's what you're looking for, but still not quite sure based on what the other responses are.
But I head on anyway -
On your first page, make note of the instance name of your drop down menu, such as "ModelDate". Make sure it's in a Form and set the form action to the page where you want to display your data, set the form action to POST.
On the results page, create a table with cells for each of the data elements you want to display. Create a recordset which you can do in Simple mode. Leave it at select all, and set the filter drop down to the database field which contains your Model Date. In the box to the right, select "=". the next dropdown selct "Form Variable" and the variable name type in the instance name of the drop down on the first page.
I may not have the terminology right, doing it from memory.
From the data bindings tab, expand your recordset and locate each of the database fields you want to display. Drag each one to the table cell on the page where you want it displayed. The table cells have to be in a linear row.
Now, select the table row buy selecting the TR tag in the tags just above the properties panel. In the server behaviors tab, select repeat region and "All Records"
Publish your pages and test!

Drop down menu selections

i have extracted columns from a database into a drop down menu however i need to name each option so that the right information can be extracted onto another page. the <%=rs.getString("OU")%> defines the difference however how cud i recognise each selection on that page?
<%
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:fa1lnk4");
int i=1;
%>
<select name = "things">
<%
while(rs.next())
{%>
<option value = "pc">
<%=rs.getString("PC")%><%=rs.getString("PCN")%>
<%=rs.getString("OU")%></option>
<%
i=i+2;
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
%>

I did not understand that. Which page? Yours? Their? Have you made up your mind what the HTML should look like, a static example, perhaps. Then it will be easy to construct the same HTML dynamically from the JSP.
Also, it is said ten times a day here, but I will repeat it: do not mix DB-related and presentation-related code, i.e. have a separate class do the DB-related things and the JSP call this class.

Drop Down Menu Selection - Make Other Drop Down Menus Visible

I am having some trouble with a simple if-else statement. When a certain selection is made in a drop down box, I would like two other drop down menus to appear. (At runtime, they are hidden.) The current problem is that when I try and select anything in the drop down menu, it will only allow me to select this one option. (If I try to select anything else, it reverts back to the same thing every time.) If I set the "if" statement to trigger for something else, then that option is all it will display and so on. I have made plenty of these types of scripts in other areas of this PDF, but I can't figure out why it isn't doing what I want it to now.
The "change" event is what I currently have this set to. I have also set it for the "enter" event with no change.
if (this.rawValue = "Ankle/Brachial Index (ABI) - 93922")
ABI.presence = "visible"
TBI.presence = "visible"
else
ABI.presence = "hidden"
TBI.presence = "hidden"
If there's a better way to do this than the method I am attempting to use, please don't hesitate to suggest it. I am definitely open to learning new methods.

Thanks, man! I knew it was something simple I was missing. Those are my favorite kind of fixes.

Tool selection drop down menu not showing

On the side when I click on the little drop down menu for, say rectangle tool, nothing shows. Only the top bar changes and not all the tools are there. Please help! Thanks

I am having this same problem. I tried reverting to factory settings or whatever it's called. Lost all my preferences I set up but, still no drop down menu on the tools. I can't access the extra tools (I haven't been able to get the magic wand, the sharpen tool, etc.) HELP!!!!!! No one else I work with is having this problem.

Dynamically selecting drop down menu option

Im trying to build a page summarizing a user's choices from
the previous page's form. As the user may need to change their
choices, i am showing the form again but with the answers provided.
I want my dropdown menu option to show the users choice, and my
lengthy <cfif form.region is 'All UK'> for each option seems
inefficient...

ok i think ive found an answer to my question...

I'm using Mac with OS 10.9.4 and Photoshop CC. I am unable to access "Focus Area Selection". When I go to "Select" on menu its simply not there in the drop down menu. Any help?

How do I access "Focus Area Selection" in Photoshop CC on a Mac? It's not showing in the "Select" drop-down menu.

Select > Focus area is in Photoshop CC 2014, not Photoshop CC. So you must download and install CC 2014 to have access to this new feature.

Elements 9 - text, font family - how can I get the drop down menu to work?

I can't change the text fonts in Elements 9. Most everything else seems to work except the font family drop down menu. When I click on the arrow, the menu drops but immediately dissappears. The font size drop down works but not the family menu. Help please.

I think it's usually a restriction of short displays on netbooks and laptops etc. You may have to live with it unless you can change display resolution via the control panel.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so 'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
cat
dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
This is the script I have so far
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
    aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
    aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

Serial resourse name drop down menu problem in built versions of software.

Hi,
I have developed Labview programs to test new PCBs as they come off the production line, by stimulating the PCBs via RS232 serial. These programs work well on my development PC, and have been built as appilcations with installer ready to be transferred to the test PC, so our production department can use them. The problem is that when I install the built applications onto the production PC, the serial resource name selection drop down menu is grayed out and disabled. This stops anyone from being able to select the correct serial port.
I am using Labview 6.1, Windows XP.
Regards,
Wardo.

My first guess is that you have not installed VISA on the target machine.
See the link below: -
http://search.ni.com/nisearch/nisearchservlet?nistype=default&ddown=2&filter=%2Btaxonomy:%22Drivers+And+Updates%22&q=visa+windows
My second is that there is no serial port.

Drop down menu poulated by 2 db columns

I have a form where I enter information into a table. There is a drop down menu in the form where the id is connected to another table. Basically I'm pulling names from another table. I've got an id that connects fine.
However, I'd like to pull 2 columns into the one drop down menu selections. I n my other table I have a firstname and lastname column. I'd like to pull both those columns into the one drop down menu.
Ideally each line in the drop down menu would read "lastname, firstname"
Thanks in advance!
Peter T

what database are you using ?
u can simply do like this..
for example..
SELECT concat(convert(FirstName using UTF8)," - ",convert(Lastname using UTF8)) as FullName, userid
FROM employees

this is mysql specific.
if u still cannot do it
post ur table schema here i will write it for u
hope this helps.
Regards.

How can you change a drop down menu's selection in a case statement?

Hi,
I am trying to an array finding vi. This VI will take an existing xml file and after the user has selected his/her equipment, input, output, and frequency it will put all of those options into a string and search the xml file for that exact array name and display it on an output screen. The problem I am having is that my input and outputs selection needs to be a little different depending upon the equipment selected. I thought that I could use a case statement to change the input and output selectable options, but I have run into many snags with it. For one everytime I place a new Input and Output drop down menu in the case statement it wants to place a new one in the front panel (I only want one input and output not three I have two inputs and outputs hidden right now). I believe I am using the case statement wrong... Can anyone help change my input and output selectable options depending upon the equipment selected. Attached is my xml file, Array Find.vi (the original one), and Array Find_Test.vi (this is the one I am trying to modify).
Thanks,
dlovell

Hi dlovell,
There are 2 key things I'd recommend for the code - using property nodes to edit the strings in the combo boxes. Something like the following snippet:
Also, check your CPU in task manager when running the code. It will eat a whole core of your machine (25% quad core, 50% dual, 100% single) - that is because you are running the while loop and polling the control as fast as Windows will allow you to. Using Event Structures is a much more efficient way of working in this example.
