Hi,
If you are using WD Java following are steps of filling values in DD Box:
1 Create a simple type in the Dictionary.
2 Create an attribute "CountryNew" in the Context of type created by you.
3 Write following code in the init method of the form:
IWDAttributeInfo countryinfo =
wdContext.nodeEmployee().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("CountryNew");
ISimpleTypeModifiable Country = countryinfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
Country.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
countryValueSet.put("IN", "INDIA");
countryValueSet.put("US "USA");
4 Add a Enumrated DD box in the form and bind it to the attribute "CountryNew"
Hope this helps

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.

Webdynpro " How to add values in Drop down list By Key"

Hi experts ,
i want to create a drop down list by key, i don't know how to assign values to it ( i.e. add list entries ) . Please help me on this ..
With regards ,
James..
Valuable answers will be rewarded ....

Hi,
To fix values to the drop down key at runtime in the webdynpro application you can use the following code:
DATA:
lr_node_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
l_scarr type scarr,
lt_value_set TYPE TABLE OF wdr_context_attr_value,
lw_value_set like line of lt_value_set.
get nodeinfo of node flightinfo
lr_node_flightinfo = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'FLIGHTINFO' ).
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo = lr_node_flightinfo->get_node_info( ).
get value set (VALUE = CARRID , TEXT = CARRNAME)
select carrid carrname from scarr into table lt_value_set.
clear lw_value_set.
lw_value_set-value = 'AI'.
lw_value_set-text = 'Air India'.
append lw_value_set to lt_value_set.
sort the value set by the describing TEXT
SORT lt_value_set BY text.
set value to context attribute
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo->set_attribute_value_set(
name = 'CARRID' value_set = lt_value_set ).
Here CARRID is a drop down by key field on the screen.
in The context it is an attribute in the node FLIGHTINFO.
Please give Reward Points if this piece of code helps

Does anyone know how to Add a date drop down list to a pdf file?

Can someone tell me how to add a Date drop down list in a form

There's no built-in function that does that in Acrobat, but there are some third-party tools that do.
The two most known ones are by FormRouter, which is free and based on form fields (but also a bit buggy), and a non-free version created by Max Wyss, which is based on a dialog object.

How to get prefilled drop down list in Adobe form from WebDynpro context

Hi All,
We all know that we can have dropdown list in webdynpro which can be automatically populated by the context node collection.
How can we have the same functionality in Adobe form drop down list. I tried to bind the node attribute to drop down list in Adobe form but it shows me only first element. I am not able to see all the elements in the dropdown but if I am doing same thing for WebDynpro DropDown list I can see the complete List.
Anybody with Solution?

Hi Ricky

Drop down list in ADOBE Forms - WDP for ABAP...urgent

Hi Gurus,
Can you please explain me how to display values in the dropdown list of Adobe interactive form in WDP for ABAP. Also expalin me how to accept them in the program once the user selects the value from the list. The requirement is I have to call the RFC, get the data and display in the dropdown list at the time of initialization.

hi,
to populate the dropdown list you can do it...
1). manually or
2). by code(i work in java... there must be some ABAP equivalent...)
1). <b>manually</b> go to interactive form->edit
     go to Object tab->field tab ->
     you must see something like
     List Items :
     Text     + x
     click on the green + sign...
     it promps you to type. type in the value press enter... and so on...
2) <b>by Code...</b>
    //set up contents of a drop down list dynamically...
    IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeTravelData().getNodeInfo().
            getAttributeInfo().getAttribute("DestinationCountry");
    ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
            countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
    IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
            countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
    countryValueSet.put("1","Germany");
    countryValueSet.put("2","UK");
This will work....

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,
Prakash Pandey

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

How to add a interactive drop-down list

I want a drop-down list that will add a set of required fields based on the choice from the list.
In this case, we want users to fill in their job title, and based on that title selected we need them to fill in specific licensing information. I haven't found a javascript (or I don't have the expertise) to make this happen. I have done forms in the past that would just hide unneeded fields, but is there a way to actually have the fields become active, or appear based on the list selections?

Yes, it's possible. The general code would be something like this (as the drop-down field's custom validation script):
var field1 = this.getField("FieldName1");
var field2 = this.getField("FieldName2");
var field3 = this.getField("FieldName3");
if (event.value=="Value1") { // Show field1, hide the rest
     field1.display = display.visible;
     field2.display = display.hidden;
     field3.display = display.hidden;
} else if (event.value=="Value2") { // Show field1 and field2, hide the rest
     field1.display = display.visible;
     field2.display = display.visible;
     field3.display = display.hidden;
} else if (event.value=="Value3") { // Show all fields
     field1.display = display.visible;
     field2.display = display.visible;
     field3.display = display.visible;
} else { // hide all fields
     field1.display = display.hidden;
     field2.display = display.hidden;
     field3.display = display.hidden;
PS. Make sure you tick the option to commit the selected value of the drop-down field immediately (under the field's Properties - Options).

How to add a dynamic drop down list in RDLC reports in WPF

I have to Load an RDLC report in WPF application and need to include a drop down list in report.Based on the selection of drop down list different reports to be generated.I am using C# and WPF.
Eg: I have to list the details of employees in in RDLC report.There is a country drop down list, Based on the selection of country drop down list we need to display details of employees in the selected country.

Looking good.
With rdlc I think you will have to use the windows report viewer control.
If this was SAP crystal reports there's a wpf report viewer.
I never actually tried that with rdlc and I suppose there is a small chance they turn out to be compatible.
If you have questions on rdlc specifically then you're probably better finding a forum specialises in that. Not sure where that would be but maybe in the sql server forums. It's a business intelligence thing and people who do the likes of ssis are
what you want really.
I do reporting myself but I think you'll find few others who do so here.
Good luck.
Hope that helps.

How do i customize a drop down list in adobe muse without css?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything code. I tinker in design and ran into a bit of a snag. I'm involved in a start up and our coders apparently only know how to code software and back end stuff. I know it's probably not the best route to go, but i'm trying to use adobe muse to do the front end of my companies website that will have a few fields such as drop down lists and sign up forms, etc. Is there a way to customize the look of a drop down menu without using css? Or if i do need to use css how do i use it in muse? Really do appreciate any help you guys can provide!

You would need to know CSS. If you need to change Muse CSS you can use Firebug in Firefox to find the element ID. Then you would need to add your custom CSS to the head section in your page properties.

Dynamic drop down list in Adobe forms

I have created a drop down list using enumerated drop down list from webdynpro native tab and binded in the object palette by giving $record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[]* in the list items dynamically.DESCR is the field in the internal table into which i fetched data from the database table .I have written this code in a BADI.I dont know whether my form's display type is activex or native? I am not getting any values in the drop down list.can anybody please tell me what might be missing and how should i know whether my form is ActiveX or Native?
My form is called from portal so i have used BADI to connect portal to form

Hi sarang,
I have done a dynamic drop down list in which DESCR field comes from database table and pops into the drop down dynamically. I was working for a PCR scenario so the adobe form was called from portal.I will tell u all the required steps.It might work for u as it is working for me:
1.In the form:
I used two elements from library first is a "ENUMERATED DROP DOWN LIST NO SELECT" from web-dynpro native tab and second is "ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE" from ISR controls tab.Place them one on other inthe form.
For drop down list the setting are:
     In object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS put :$record.sap-vhlist.DESCR\.DATA\.FIELD.item[*].in ITEMS TEXT write text in ITEMS KEY write key.
     In binding,in default binding put $record.DESCR.DATA[*].FIELD.
For text element the settings are:
     In binding,default binding put Normal.
     when we select ISR_TEXT DISPLAY INVISIBLE ON EDIT MODE it automatically comes with calculated read only int he value tab.so open script editor and place the below code:
$record.DESCR.DATA.FIELD (in calculate).
2.Now the code in BADI is as follows:
In BADI we have to write the code for drop down list in the METHOD "SCENARIO_SET_ADDITIONAL_VALUES"
As i didnt change the standard BADI i added an enhancement spot in which i wrote a function module which fills ADDITIONAL_DATA. and the below code fills the ADDITIONAL_DATA .
DATA: t_t572b TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t572b WITH HEADER LINE,
        t_t554t TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t554t WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM t572b INTO TABLE t_t572b WHERE sprsl EQ 'E'.
CLEAR ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
LOOP AT t_t572b.
    ADD 1 TO ls_additional_data-fieldindex.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_KEY'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descd.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    ls_additional_data-fieldname ='DESCR_LABEL'.
    ls_additional_data-fieldvalue = t_t572b-descr.
    APPEND ls_additional_data TO additional_data.
    CLEAR t_t572b.
ENDLOOP.
For DESCR field the we have to declare DESCR_KEY and DESCR_LABEL in the place holders for key values and palce holders for default values in characteristics tab(where all the fields for the form are defined) of ur respective scenario.(where ur pcr scenario is defined)
Hope ur problem got resolved.
Please let me know if any doubts.
If ur form is not called from portal and u want a dynamic drop down list the difference is put a data drop down list and in object, field tab click on list items there in ITEMS select the field into which u populated the data from the database table (this code shud be written in code Initialization in the respective interface) and in ITEMS TEXT put $ in ITEMS KEY put $.and in binding as we normally do bind it to the respective field in which the data is populated from database table.
It should work.

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.
