a vi generates an array of strings, how can I select one element with a combo box and send it to another vi as if it is a control?

  • Combo Box Indicator: mouse wheel bug or feature?

    Both ring indicator and slide indicator works fine even when the mouse wheel property is enabled.
    But user can change value of the Combo Box indicator at runtime.
    Shouldn't it be disabled, by default, just like for the keyboard?  After all, it's an indicator.
    I know I can disable the mouse wheel feature.  It should be disable by default.
    Or is there any use of this feature?

    Mouse Wheel bug.vi ‏12 KB

    I think what you are seeing is a minor bug introduced by the lack of a "Combo Box Indicator" on the palattes.  You must drop a control then change direction and there appears to be no built in mouse support property written on direction change leaving you with the default mouse wheel support for a control.  Since this is a "windows only" property there might not be an easy way to write the property on direction change without querying App.OS target.  And then what do you do on targets that do not have support for the property?  Change the behavior?  THAT would confuse just about everyone who works with multiple OS's
    The work arounds:
    Use the key navigation page and pay attention to mouse wheel support for indicators
    Add your own combo box indicator to the controls palatte with the right mouse wheel support
    Write a VI Analizer test for "Indicator with mouse wheel support"
    In Short;  this seems like one more thing that can easily trip up a developer.  A VI Analizer test for this could help save us from ourselves.  Consider uploading yours to the VIA Enthusiasts group

  • Getting Dates using combo boxes

    I am trying to get a start date and an end date from a combo
    box. I have the following AS3 code but it doesn't work. startDay,
    startMonth etc are all comboboxes with appropriate data. Just can't
    figure the syntax to make it work.
    var start_date = new
    Date(startYear.selectedIndex,startMonth.selectedIndex,startDay.selectedIndex);
    var end_date = new
    Date(endYear.selectedIndex,endMonth.selectedIndex,endDay.selectedIndex);
    then i want to calculate and display the total days
    var nDiffDays = Math.floor((end_date - start_date)/86400000);
    totalDays_txt = nDiffDays;
    Any help appreciated.

    There are two of those controls: the drop down list and the combo box. Try the drop down list instead.

  • How Do I Get Item In Combo Box and Not It's Export Value?

    I created a Combo Box in Adobe pdf listing Company Names in the Item field. As well, I added an abbreviation for each Company Name in the Export Value field. When I try to display the Company Name from the Item field, it displays the Export Value.
    The Combo Box is named "Company-Name".
    In it, I have a company called "MacKenzie" within the Item Field. It's Export Value is "MFC".
    app.alert(this.getField("Company-Name").value); will display "MFC". How do I display or get the value from the Item field?

    You can use the getItemAt field method, like:
    // Get a reference to the combo box
    var f = getField("Company-Name");
    // Get the index of the selected item
    var a = f.currentValueIndices;
    // Show the item value of the selected item
    app.alert(f.getItemAt(a, false));

  • How to get values of combo box?

    Hi All,
    I had a problem that need to be solve asap. I would be very appreciated if anyone could help me.
    I had a combo box that contain a string "Flower and Gifts" and when i passed the value to another jsp file it show only "Flower". I had been think for a long time about this problem. How can i pass the value to another jsp file with the whole value "Flower and Gifts".
    Please reply asap. Thanks all.

    Hi,
    Even i had the same problem earlier. Just try to print the string that you are passing to the next page, if it reads something like this "Flowers%20and%20Gifts" then you have to replace the special characters (i.e.,'%,2,0')with the blank spaces so that you have the complete string.
    Example:
    String str = "Flowers%20and%Gifts";
    if(str.indexOf('%')!=-1)
    str = str.replace('%','');
    Thanks,

  • How to get  Subvalues using Combo box ?

    Hi , friends,
    I have one Combo box :
    Having list of all Districts
    When i select one of District it will give all related villages
    regarding District that i selected in another combo box.
    How to achieve this ? in one page itself
    I have another idea but its not good..

    1) first select District from Combo
    2) Press submit
    3) second page displays another combo and fetch perticular villages
    and display in another combo.
    but this technique requires more page navigation.
    I want it should be on one page itself

    the brand old dependent combo issue..
    as far as i know i could tell you for every two days a similar post is being posted here on the same thread..
    you could have taken a look of them....
    Anyways there are many ways of doing it....
    In the days when XmlHttpRequest Object was not invented ppl used to achieve this using Hidden iframe and then updating parent frame dropdown by calling a javascript function onload of the page. or by auto refershing the page after saving the form state inside the scope of session.
    However,using XmlHttpRequest Object (AJAX) nowdays is one of the smater ways of acheving tasks as these.
    checkout one such examples where i've posted a similar example in the last reply

  • How to get the current selected value of a combo box or a option button?

    Hello All,
    I want to catch the current selected value of a combo box and also of a option button and want save it into different variables in my code. These option button and combo box are in a SAP business one form which I have created through VB dot.net coding.
    But I don't know how to do that, can any one send any example code for this.
    Regards,
    Sudeshna.

    Hi Sudesha,
    If you want to get the selected values you can do it as follows: The Combo Box value you can get from the combo box. If you want to get it on the change event, you must make sure that you check when BeforeAction = False. If you want to get an Option Button value you should check the value in the data source attached to the option button.
            Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
            Dim oCombo As SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox
            Dim oData As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
            oForm = oApplication.Forms.Item("MyForm")
            oCombo = oForm.Items.Item("myComboUID")
            oApplication.MessageBox(oCombo.Selected.Value)
            oData = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("MyDataSourceName")
            oApplication.MessageBox(oData.ValueEx)
    Hope it helps,

  • HOWTO Get the text of "combo box" and "labe" controls with JavaAccessBridge

    HOWTO Get the text of "combo box" and "labe" controls with JavaAccessBridge.
    Please help,
    I'm trying to use the Java Access Bridge (JAB) 2.1 to get the text in Java Applet controls. I've been able to use the sample code in AccessInfo.cpp sample that comes with JAB to get text from "text" controls in a Java Applet. To clarify, I am referring to the "role" in the AccessibleContextInfo struct being set to "text" or "combo box" or "label".
    The problem is, when I use the AccessInfo.cpp sample to get text from a "combo box", the accessibleText data member comes back as FALSE, and thus any of the JAB text functions like GetAccessibleTextInfo fail to get any text information from "combo box" or "label" controls.
    I've also tried GetCurrentAccessibleValueFromContext on the "combo box" and "label" controls, but the text returned is empty.
    Can anyone help?

    I have new information in regards to this issue. A contact from Sun did get to me in email and relayed that that "label" objects store their text in the "name" data member of the AccessibleContext structure. This was a big help.
    But I'm still stuck trying to get information from "combo box" and other controls, like "push button". The contact said, the Java Access Bridge does not provide all the information because it is already implemented by other interfaces like AccessibleComponent, AccessibleAction, or AccessibleSelection. The contact did not allude to whether these opther interfaces can be used along side the Java Access Bridge or not. So, I'm left a step closer to the goal, but still stuck without the full solution.
    Can one take the Java Access Bridge functions, like say those used in the Ferret sample, and close the gap to get text back from "combo box", "push button", and other controls by using some other API in conjunction?

  • Ring or combo box control of date

    Hi, I am developing a GUI with ring or combo box indicating possible date, i.e., month, day, and year. Or is there a way to create multiple items ran sequentially in a ring or combo box control.
    the time stamp is alright, but can't get rid of the current time display in the set time and date dialogue . thanks alot.

    Hi rookieprgmer,
    You will have to format the date into a string to create a ring that contains all the data for the month, date and year. One method for separating the date from a timestamp is to use the Get Date/Time String. You could then take the date string and use it in the ring or combo box. Attached is an example of how to use that function.
    What do you mean by running multiple items simultaneously in a ring or combo box?
    Hopefully I covered what you were asking about.

  • Combo box selector

    Hello,
       Why doesn't the selector work on a combo box indicator? It works when  fine when I make the combo box a control, but then the user can type into the combo box and modify values.  I am using a combox box to allow the user to select from a list of strings that represent the last 8 unique commands that we sent to a piece of test equipment.
    Regards,
    Kaspar
    Regards,
    Kaspar

    Hi Kaspar,
    because an indicator is to show something and a control is to control something! You can use an event case to check the user input or you can simply uncheck the "allow undefined strings" property.
