How to Populate a drop down list using the values of a text field?

Hi,
I wanted to Populate the items of my drop down list according to the value entered in the textfield above it?
also the value of list remains consistent in other rows also where i am using the drop down list field.
Please Try to help me in this query.
Thanks in Advance!!!
I am using Javascript in adobe version ES 8.2.

Part II:
If you have other items for your droplist(s) that are to appear in addition to the "variable language" entered by a user you can add that to the script. For example in addition to the Party1 and Party2 name appearing in my droplist I also want the list to have an option for a user to select: The parties jointly. I add this to the script:
this.addItem(Party1.rawValue);
this.addItem(Party2.rawValue);
this.addItem ("The parties jointly");
If you have trouble making it work, post a bit of your actual form requirements.

How to populate page drop-down list in Struts from action?

I have following mockup JSP:
<td colspan="2" height="28"> <font size="2">
        <html:select property="sj">
           <html:option value="allj">aaa,1,str1</html:option>
         </html:select>
                    </font>
                  </td>
...Struts action will prepare results as String[] array e.g.:
aaa,1,str1
aaa,2,str2
aaa1,1,str3
aaa1,b,str4
and I have to show this in the page as a drop-down list of values that are represented in this String[] array returned from Struts action.
Should action return result array in original ActionForm submitted to the action by this page or should it just put the array into request or session? I need an example if possible
Many thanks,

Hi,
In ur Action Class create aa ArrayList of LabelValueBean Object (use import org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean; )
Eg:
ArrayList myList = new ArrayList();
for( int i=0; i<10 ; i++ )
   myList.add( new LabelValueBean( "Label of "+ i , " value of " +i ) );
}put myList either in request or session
eg
session.setAttribute( "DisplayList", myList );****************************************************************
in JSP use JSTL Tags for JSP
eg
<html-el:select property="listToDisplay" style="width=200" size="1">
<html-el:option value="-1">--Select One--</html-el:option>
<html-el:options collection="DisplayList" property="value" labelProperty="label" />
</html-el:select>Here "DisplayList" will be ref'ed from session scope or request scope.
Hope this can solve ur Doubt.

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 populate a drop-down list from a schema variable

I'm a novice programmer and new to the LiveCycle environment. I need help to populate a drop-down list in LiveCycle from a hard coded variable within my form's schema. I have a list of 28 names (the number of names and actual names change annually). That list is used over 30 times within a form for different selections. Since the list rarely changes, I would prefer to hard code it and make changes to the schema when they occur.
If I can't find a solution, I will be updating over 30 separate drop-down list objects each time there is a change to the list.
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris

Can you post your schema to [email protected] and I will have a look. You will also need to indicate which node in the schema is supposed to populate the dropdown.

How to display a drop down list

how to display a drop down list when the user clicked (right click) on a JPanel or a JFrame

how to display a drop down list when the user clicked
(right click) on a JPanel or a JFrameI've not done it my self, I just looked it up:
JComponent.setComponentPopupMenu(JPopupMenu popup).
The menu doesn't showed automatically when I added it to a JComponent and tried to right click.
I guess you could add a listener and call setVisible and setLocation for the menu in the listener, but there has to be an easier way...

How to change the drop down list "Category" in the Risk page (PWA 2013)

Hello,
How to change the drop down list "Category" in the Risk page of a Project Site. I need to change the list of elements.
Thanks

Hi Robert,
You actually cannot edit the current template.
The process is as follow:
create a brand new project site from the existing template,
edit the site configuration (list, column, webparts, image, logo, theme...),
save it as a template,
associate it to an EPT.
See reference below:

Populate a drop down list with data from Excel and fill in a text field, based on drop down selectio

Hi!
I have a problem with a PDF form: There's a drop down list that I populate with Excel data that I've put in an XML file through an XSD file -- no problem here. The drop down list has a data binding to the XML file, so that a choice in the drop down list can be associated with an object in the XML file. So, when I make a choice in the drop down list, a corresponding object value is fetched from the XML file and put in a text field on the form.
How to do this is described by Stefan Cameron here:
http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/07/29/dynamic-properties/
There's a snag, though, and to describe it more clearly:
The XML file contains three types of objects: role, role number, and role cost center. Of these I use the first and the third, i.e. the role and the role cost center. The drop down list contains the roles, and when I select a role, the corresponding cost center is filled out in the text field. So far, so good!
But -- if the cost center has the same value for two or more roles, all of these roles "bounce back" into the drop down list, that is, they are all selected in the drop down list. How many of these you can see depend on the height of the drop down list -- if it's low you'll only see the first one.
If I modify Stefan Cameron's data in his example I get the same behavior, so the problem seems to have to do with how XML data are fetched.
I'm sure there's a workaround, but I can't find it! I've spent many hours browsing the web without finding anyone with a similar problem.
Any suggestions appreciated!

Although your issue is far beyond mine, I was hoping you can help me out.....
I need to create a drop down list of names which I wish to somehow link to an Excel spreadsheet.
Please let me know the steps I need to do. I've tried several things, but nothing seems to work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thank you

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?

How to create conditional drop-down lists

I would like to create a form that utilizes conditional drop-down selection boxes like at http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-excel/archive/2009/11/24/create-conditional-drop-down- lists.aspx
How can I create a form that contains fields like this?
Is there a sample I can download?

I have downloaded the AcroForm version (ListProgramming_Part1_AcroForm.pdf).
I'm not able to consistently recreate. I was first playing with the form by selecting values in the drop down. At one point I went to Document Javascripts and select "Example1". I chose to edit. Make no changes and select "OK" I get "SyntaxError: missing } in compound statement 39 at line 40"
The sec ion of code is:
function SetPartEntries()
   // Only run this code on when the selection is commited.
   if(event.willCommit)
// There are 3 rows in the order form so in order to use other fields in
// the same row we first have to acquire the name of the row
// we are operating on. This is part of the List field's name, so we
// just have to split it off
var cRowName = event.target.name.split(".").shift();
// Now get the new parts list from the Master List
// Since the selection is being committed, event.value contains the selection text
var lst = oAssemblyParts[event.value];
// If an entry is selected that we don't have a parts list for, then
// the parts list is just cleared.
if( (lst != null) && (lst.length > 0) )
   this.getField(cRowName + ".PartSelect").setItems(lst);
else
   this.getField(cRowName + ".PartSelect").clearItems();
// We have a new parts lists and the first entry is
// is a non-selection. so clear the price field.
this.getField(cRowName + ".Price").value = 0;
I am not able to recreate if I select "Edit all Javascripts" only when I use document javascripts.

How to make a drop down list default to a blank space

I have a drop down list
<cfselect name="EmployeeName" query="getname"
value="EmployeeName" selected=" "></cfselect>
I want the list to default to a blank space, can this be
done?
If so, how?

I figured out a way to do it, except now I ran into another
problem. The way I have it set up, i can't make it required now.
Any ideas?
<cfselect name="EmployeeName" query="getname"
value="EmployeeName" required="yes" message="Please select your
name">
<option value="" selected="selected"></option>
</cfselect>

A simple process I just don't know - how to make one drop down list dependent on another.

Drop-Down List One has 17 office names. Drop-Down List Two has sub-office names associated with each of the 17 main offices. If user selects Office 3 from Drop Down List One, only sub-offices associated with Office 3 should appear as choices in Drop-Down List Two. How do I do that?

You have asked your question in the Adobe Reader user forum.
You cannot do what you want with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is a PDF viewer - no more, no less.
You need Acrobat.

How to use multiple drop down lists and do not allow duplicates.

I am creating a roster that has multiple positions on multiple pages. I have a drop-down list that is populated with all of the employees and want to make sure that the same employee cannot be selected for multiple posts. Ideally, when one is selected in a position, that person would not be an option in the other drop-down lists. Also, when the form is published, the end user will not use the drop-down lists in order. I have found script to remove selected items, but it only works when the user makes selections in order (List1, List2, List3 etc).
First time posting, any help would be appreciated.

Look into the ring control. It behaves a lot like an enum, but you can dynamically set its contents and values associated with those contents.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions
