How to link Files to different buttons in a drop-down list?

I have 5 Excel files in folder. I want to link each file to each buttons in a Drop-Down List, so that when 1st button is clicked it opens 1st file, 2nd button opens second file etc..
the buttons are given some titles.
The file path should not be visible to the user. When a button in drop down list is clicked, it must confirm the file and open it.
I am new to labview. Can anybody help me witha sample code?

How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Pivot Tables

Hi Everyone,
Iam stuck with 1 problem please can any 1 help me if u know the solution.
Here is my problem:
How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Oracle BI Pivot Tables?
For example, if you place Region in the pages area, a Region drop-down list allows the user to select a particular region, and see the data for only that region, rather than seeing all the Regions,But by default its not showing "ALL" option in the drop down list ,rather than doing that its showing result for only 1 region by default.
And an other problem with this pages area is, if we palce the multiple attributes in the Pages area in the pivot table, the (Fields)result is showing in vertically, the attributes 1 by 1(Every attribute in a new line) ,rather than showing like that, is there any way to show the results in horizantally?(We want to have it as a seperate drop drown list for every field horizantally not as a concatenated list).

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.

How can i redirect 5 choice options from a drop down list into 5 separate text fields?

I have a number of drop down lists which push one of 5 choices to a text field on another page.
I want to be able to push each choice from one drop down field to a separate field, so that it is not possible to duplicate the drop down choice.
The resulting page is going to be locked.
What script do I need to use to send each of the five choices specifically to five separate text fields?
Thanks for the insight.

Hi Paul,
I've had a look at the sample script you posted. I'm not sure how to make it work with the form I'm creating. (I sent it to you earlier.) Would you mind setting one of the fields up on my form so that I can get an idea of how to then push the choices set up on the "visible on screen only" to the textfields which are locked on the visible page? Do i lock the fields in the same way?
Will I need to create a new script for each of the arrays I'll be creating? for example, myScript1, myScript2, my Script3....
Why do i need a reset button?

Display pages that reacts to different values in the drop down list.

I currently did up a simple drop down list that stores values retrieved from the database. I would like the program to display pages that reacts to the selected value without the press of any button, which means, if I select any value from the drop down list, the page will be displayed according to the value selected.
Below are the codes that I did for the retrieval of data from the database.
<%
        String username = "test";
        String password = "test";
        String thinConn = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbdev:1521:ORCL";
        Connection conn;
        Statement stm;
        ResultSet rs;
        String baseQuery ="SELECT DISTINCT ID FROM STAFF ORDER BY ID ASC";
        try {
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(thinConn,username,password);
            stm = conn.createStatement();
            rs = stm.executeQuery(baseQuery);
%>
<strong>Retrieve ID from Database</strong>
    <select size="1" name="dropdown">
    <%
    while (rs.next()) {
        String id = rs.getString("ID");
        out.write("<option value=\"" + id + "\">" + "level " + id + "</option>");
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
    %>
    </select>Would appreciate if someone might offer some help to what I have to do next

How do I put a different image in my drop down menu for my current page?

Is there a way to put different images or color for each
buttons in my menubar? And is there a way to have a color to

Thanks for your time and have a nice day!

Actually what I posted came after searching for an easy

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spryte_menu.html
The author designs and implements a spry menu with Fire Works
graphics. The last section describes how to modify the existing CSS
for multiple levels. Yet I found the sample page provided above,
easier to follow than the tutorial.
I'm sorry if you feel my post was not

How to influence APEX 4.0 autocomplete text item drop down list's colors?

Hi,
Could some body please point me to the template that I have to modify?
I am using theme 15 and the text item with auto complete has a very different color schema, that I would like to modify, so that it would harmonize with Theme 15 colors. It's just that I can not seem to find the template to modify. TIA.
Tamás

Tamas
There's no template for the autocomplete item. It's appearance is controlled entirely using CSS. Theme 15 does not include themed styling for autocomplete items: it falls back to a generic scheme specified in the <tt>apex_4_0.css</tt> style sheet:
.ac_results {
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: white;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: 99999;
.ac_results ul {
width: 100%;
list-style-position: outside;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
.ac_results li {
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 5px;
cursor: default;
display: block;
font: menu;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 16px;
overflow: hidden;
.ac_results li {
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 5px;
cursor: default;
display: block;
font: menu;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 16px;
overflow: hidden;
.ac_loading {
background: white url('indicator.gif') right center no-repeat;
.ac_odd {
background-color: #eee;
.ac_over {
background-color: #0A246A;
color: white;
}The best approach would be to use a web inspector tool to identify what each of these rules does in the context of using the autocomplete item and create your own theme-15-friendly style sheet to override this subset of <tt>apex_4_0.css</tt>.

How to capture all the email addresses from the drop down lists

I would like to capture all the email addresses that mail has captured and gives you as a prompt when you start to enter and an address...is there a way to do this ? Does anyone know where all these email addresses live ?
Thanks matt

For that program, it says it will import from CSV files, in which case once you add the email address and name to Address Book, you can create a new group for that purpose and add everyone you want to that group. Then select the group and drag it to the Desktop to create one vCard file with all those contacts.
The go to this URL in Firefox (it won't work in Safari): <http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/> and use the online vCard converter to convert that file to a CSV file. Be sure to add a header line if Interspire requires it in the file to import it, and check the results in Excel or Numbers before you import it.

How can I bind a empty cell to a Drop Down List if I get the items of...

the List from a DataProvider?
I need this for a Search-Site where I also can choose the option "find all" at the different DD-Lists...

What I do is, instead of binding the DropDown directly to the DataProvider, I bind it to a function inside my BackBean who returns the Option[] required, and in that function I load the items from the DB plus whatever else I want (in our case we add a blank cell as the first and selected option).
Here's an example:
public Option[] getUserItems () {
     return ( loadDDFromDB ( "id_user", tb_userDataProvider ) );
public static Option[] loadDDFromDB (String sRowID, AbstractTableDataProvider CurrentDataProvider) {
          Option ArrayOptions[] = new Option[0];
          if ( CurrentDataProvider.cursorFirst () ) {
               ArrayList ALUnsorted = new ArrayList ();
               do {
                    if ( CurrentDataProvider.getValue (sRowID) != null )
                         ALUnsorted.add ( CurrentDataProvider.getValue (sRowID) );
               while ( CurrentDataProvider.cursorNext () );
               Collections.sort (ALUnsorted);
               unique (ALUnsorted);
               ArrayOptions = new Option[ALUnsorted.size () + 1];
               int iCtr = 1;
               ArrayOptions[0] = new Option ("");
               for ( Iterator itOptions = ALUnsorted.iterator (); itOptions.hasNext (); )
                    ArrayOptions[iCtr++] = new Option ( itOptions.next ().toString () );
          return ( ArrayOptions );
     }Hope this helps.

How to get the selected value/key of a drop down list box in webdynpro Java

Dear SDN Members,
I have added some static data into a drop down list box by key UI element using the procedure specified in value help tutorial.
Now i want to display the value selected in a dropdown list box on view whenever i select an item in a dropdown list box.
Can any one put here the code part relating to this.
Your help will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sireesha.B

Hi Sireesha,
You want to display value based on the key selected in dropdown list. If you want to do like that
1) Create a context attribute for ex: key_value
2)In the properties of the attribute select the calculated as true.
3)It will create getter and setter methods for your attribute.
4)Go to implementation add the following code in getter method of your attribute
String attributeName = IPrivateCreate.IContextElement.KEY;
//KEY is your dropdown key attribute not the value attribute.
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = element.node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(attributeName);
ISimpleTypeModifiable simpleType = attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet valueset = simpleType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
Object key = element.getAttributeAsText(attributeName);
return valueset.getText(key);

How to change the width of the auto complete drop down list?

Hi,
I implemented an autocomplete mechanism, using ICompletionSession and ICompletionSourceProvider. I have an issue with the size of the drop-down list opened when I use this autocomplete mechanism. The width of the autocomplete list remains the same, even
if the strings displayed change. This is apparent especially when I hit "backspace" on the already typed string, while the drop down list is opened: the deletion of the last character allows for more completion strings to be used, but since the drop
down width does not change, the longer strings appear cut.
Is there a way to force the drop down list to recalculate its width?
Yoel

I don't think there's any way, even VS itself can't do that you know, and the interfaces don't have such kind of events or properties.

How to change the attribute of screen field to drop down list dynamically

Hi All,
Col X                   Col Y
A                        input field
B                       drop down list
This is a tabular disply where the Screen field attribute for Col y is NO DROP DOWN BOX.
My requirement is to change the attribute of COl Y to DROP DOWN list depending on the value of
COL X dynamically.

Dear Ajay,
Actually this requirement is to enhance the standard screen for Tcode :EHSVU21.
So depending on the 1st Column(Test no) value ,i have to change the 3rd Column(Low.norm.result)
property either to DROP Down or not.
So in the PBO only the changes to be made and there is no field in SCREEN internal table for changing the attribute to DROP down. I checked SCREEN internal table where the field VALUE_HELP and REQUEST is useful but not suitable for my case.
Any solution available?

Populate updatable drop down list based on files in the folder path

Hi,
I am a beginner in labview. I am stuggling on where to start.
Here's what I need to do.
I want to create an updatable drop down list. It can be automatic upon opening the program or manually update by clicking an update button. The drop down list will list all the filenames that are in .cvs format. These files are stored in a folder path. Insider the folder, they are stored in different subfolders, the drop box should be able to find those files inside the subfolders. Once the user select a filename from the list, the program will read the data inside that file and import into an array so I can display the data.
I have an idea on how to display the data, but I don't how to populate the drop down list based on the files in the folder, make it updatable and then import that user selected file's data into the the array.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks, Ruth

Yup, ListFolder with a pattern of *.csv. Then use a property node on a combo box or ring to set the items in the drop down. Here is some free training if you are interested in learning more general LabVIEW tools.

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;
     die;
