How to populate multiple text boxes by selecting a value from drop down

I apologize in advance if this is redundant, but I have searched this forum relentlessly to no avail. I have a form connected to an MS Access database. The database is linked to another datadase on an Advantage server. This is dynamic data that has an ODBC driver allowing to link access tables to the Advantage data. Macros on access updates the table being used on this form. The livecycle form connects to the access data via a DSN on a machine that uses acrobat (not reader). This is a physician office, this form should expedite ordering radiology tests on patients. The plan is to use a drop down to select a chart number that will trigger several text boxes to populate dynamically with the corresponding demographic values like name, age, insurance etc.
Using a data drop down I am able to select the chart number. When I used the example from the office supplies database, so that a button will trigger the event with the following code:
if (Len(Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = "text"
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes.
item(0).value = Concat("Select * from OfficeSupplies Where ID = ", Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue)) ,"")
I recieve a syntax error, despite adjusting quotation since I am using text rather than numeric fields.
My question is the following:
Is there a simple javascript that I can use to populate these text boxes (which may be read only but would be better if it allows user input)? Or does anyone recommend an alternative method? I would be happy with a link that solves this problem if someone can provide. I am somewhat familiar with js but open to any suggesstion.
Thanks
PS this form could also be linked to a Sequel database if that offers an advantage.

The View object API has a setQurery() method that you can use to set the query as needed before executing it via executeQuery(). You can do this in a custom Application Module method exposed to its client interface and bound to the binding layer. You can call this method from your backing bean on a value change listener.

How to capture selected value from drop down by index

Dear friends,
i want to capture the value of select value from drop down by index, for eg if select air france, how to capture , could any one please let me know
Thanks
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
You can get the value of selected from drop down as below
Check out the event handler method attached to Onselect event of the ui element drop down by index , if no event is associated, then create an event and attach to the drop down list
Now you will be having the CONTEXT_ELEMENT in the WDEVENT parameter
               data lo_element type ref to if_wd_context_element.
               lo_element = wdevent->get_context_element( name = 'CONTEXT_ELEMENT').
Now, you can get the static attribute value of selected drop down value & let us say your drop down list values are populated from context node 'ND_DRP_DOWN'
               data ls_data type wd_this->element_nd_drp_down.
                         lo_element->get_static_attributes(
                                   importing
                                   static_attributes = ls_data ).
Hope this helps you.

How to get the text boxes and select lists dynamically?

Hi,
I have a requirement such that I need to create the text boxes and select lists depending on the user input at the run time. It means that if the user requires four text boxes/select lists then I need to have 4 such thing. If the user need 6 then I need to have 6.
The design may be such that initially only one text box/select list will be available when the page launches. Then as ad when the user asks for more those will be available to the user accordingly.
regards,
Dipankar.

You can use Ajax to call textboxes and select list based on what user enters.
Otherwise make those items conditional and based on what user enters you can display textbox or select list.
You can call Single Textbox and Select List using Ajax for any number of conditions.

Don't allow to select duplicate entries from drop-down fields, JS pls.?

Hello
I have 3 drop down fields in my_sub_form, say, my_country_1, my_country_2 and my_country_3. All drop down field's list boxes are populated with 10 country names, say, US, Canada, Spain, Germany, France...
Say, user selected US in my_country_1 drop down field, again user is TRYING to select same entry as US in my_country_2 field======> Here at this point, as soon as user selected as US in my_country_2's droppped down list box=====> immediatley, I need to throw warning message to the user and make the my_country_2 as "" BLANK.
Basically, my form should not allow the user to select the DUPLICATE entries in these 3 drop-down fields, all the 3 should be DISTINCT.
If i write JS in EXIT event of my_sub_form, its working fine, but not user friendly, it kind of late.
Hence we want to have INSTANT alert to user AS SOON AS user selects a duplicate entry in any drop down field
I tried to put some JS in CHANGE event of my_country_1 and my_country_2, but not working
Pls. provide me some JS and the event name, object name
Thank you

you could put in the exit event of the my_country_1 list:
if (this.rawValue == my_country_2.rawValue || this.rawValue == my_country_3.rawValue)
xfa.host.messageBox("You cannot choose the same country");
this.rawValue = ""
and then put the same in the other dropdowns but change the names.

How to edit multiple text boxes (not linked/chained) in story editor?

I don't have a book with running text, but lots of pages (70) with separate text boxes on each page plus some captions. It is a design for exhibition panels.
It is really painful to proof read. And taking a print for all these pages to proof read is a waste! Is there no way I can see "all" the text in a view, one by one (without selecting the text boxes on each page) to simply review and edit the text? Is the story editor so basic? (I don't see any options or functions in the story editor window!)

No way I know of in InDesign but what you could do is export all the content to an InCopy assignment. Open the assignment in InCopy and then check it out. That will give you all the stories to edit in Galley, Story or Layout view.
InCopy is a part of Creative Cloud. If you're on something earlier, there's little else I can offer unless you happen to be on CS6 since InCopy CS6 can still be purchased.

How to Change a Default Value from Drop Down Box displayed in Web Dynpro?

Hi,
How to Change a Default Value from 'High' to 'Low' in a Drop Down Box for RANGE field displayed in Standard Web Dynpro Component. I saw a Default Value set for a RANGE field in View Context When I select that field and click on Display. I am seeing Default Value set it to 'HI'. Please let me know how to change from HIgh to Low.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks,
Monica

hi,
use the set_attribute( ) method now to set the attribute with a particular key eg HIGH in ur case
// u can use the code wizard( control +f7) this code will be auto generated when u select the
//radio button to read the context node
DATA lo_nd_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_cn_node TYPE wd_this->element_cn_node.
* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_NODE> via lead selection
lo_nd_cn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_node ).
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_cn_node = lo_nd_cn_node->get_element( ).
* set single attribute
lo_el_cn_node->set_attribute(
name = `ATTribute name.`
value = 'LOW' ).
it will solve ur query ..
also refer to this component
wdr_test_events -> view dropdownbyidx and dropdownbykey ->method name onactionselect.

How to populate field on page with Primary Key value from previous page

I am trying to create a patient tracking system for a group of doctors. There is an add patient form based on the Patient table (which has Patient_Id as its primary key) which branches to a pre-operative assessment form. I would like to populate the pre-op assessment Patient_Id field with the Patient_Id generated by the Add Patient page during processing, which comes from the Patient_seq sequence. How can I do this? I have tried using a computation on the Pre-Op Assessment form, but no matter what I put in, the field remains blank.

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, once patient record is created you branching to next page (pre-operative assessment form). First create a static hidden item in patient form *:PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY*.
Create an On submit after computation and validation process in patient form to get the inserted patient_id from patient table. Here is the code -
SELECT patient_id into :PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY from patient_table where rownum=1
order by patient_id descI would not use the sequence to get the current value because if the inserted record been deleted from your patient table, sequence current value would not be valid to find that record in patient table.
Basically when the record been inserted, the process get the value and put into the hidden item.
Pass the value from the hidden item to the next page by setting them in page branch. Under the Action section in the page branch, Set this items field type - *:PX_PATIENT_ID* (next page item for patient_id). Type *&PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY.* in the with these values field. Make sure you include dot(.) after *&PX_PATIENT_ID_COPY*.
Give it a try now. Hope it would helps.

Can anyone tell me how to increase the text size in my menu bar and drop down menus?

Just bought a new 27" screen iMac. The menu bar and drop down menu text is much to small for me to see without leaning close to the screen. Does anyone know how to customize the text to a larger size. This is an issue for any program I open.

Once upon a time Apple displays packed in 72 dots to an inch (making their resolution 72 DPI). That meant that what we saw on screen at 100% scale was exactly what was printed on a printer - not to mention quite comfortable to read. However that advantage was eclipsed by the fact that photopgraphs and video were pixelated and the only solution to that was to increase the resolution - to pack in more dots per inch - which has the side effect of shrinking the size of text. Where I once used Word at 100% scale I now find it most comfortable at 150% scale.
There are several solutions. One, as Lex gave you, was to reduce the resolution of the LCD display. But unlike CRT displays, an LCD is tuned to a specific resolution and when you change it the results tend to be blurry. Another is to keep the resolution as it is and to adjust each program (if the program allows it). This makes Word usable and your browser can be set to use no font smaller than a size you set (which has some unpleasant side affects at some Web sites), but some programs and some parts of programs cannot be changed. The menubar and menus are among them. The third solution is one that Apple promised several years ago but has not yet provided - a resolution independant GUI. We can only hope that comes soon. And there's another partial solution - look in System Preferences under Accessibility.

How to UPDATE multiple rows in T1 with unique value from T2

Hi,
having on mind update query with where clause:
WHERE (SELECT LEFT(ColumnName,7) FROM tblName) = emp2.ColumnName
error:
Subquery returned more than 1 value. This is not permitted when the subquery follows =, !=, <, <= , >, >= or when the subquery is used as an expression.
The statement has been terminated.
What am I suppose to change in WHERE clause....
Note: there is always unique value in T2 while, in T1, there could be both, only one value to be updated or number of them that all need to be updated with that unique value from T2 (alias emp2)
T1
T2
colimn1          column2               column3        column4
001A001A       string1                001A001       string10
001A001B        string2                001A005      string20
001B005A        string3
001B005B        string4
001B005C    string5
should become:
T1
colimn1          column2
001A001A       string10
001A001B        string10
001B005A        string20
001B005B        string20
001B005C    string20
UPDATET1
SET column2 = emp2.column4
FROM T2 as emp2
    WHERE (SELECT LEFT(column1,7) FROM T1 = emp2.column3

Hi daredevil3011,
Based on my test, the error is caused by where statement in the query. Just as the error message, in your where statement, there is a subquery “SELECT LEFT(ColumnName,7) FROM tblName” follows ”=”, this is not permitted in SQL Server.
To fix this issue, please modify your query to like below:
UPDATE T1
SET column2 = emp2.column4
FROM T2 as emp2
WHERE LEFT(column1,7) = emp2.column3
Reference:
WHERE (Transact-SQL)
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to get the values of drop downs, which are gonna create at run time.

As per my design requirement, I have to create drop downs in an ADF display table.
The no# of rows of the table are gonna decide the no# of the drop downs. User can select the values from drop downs. My issue is, how can I capture the selected values of those drop downs as those are gonna created run time.

Hi
ohh ,ok ,then as u said that u r storing twenty values ,thats y i aksed earlier ,are these form values part of tbale ,or as u said 20 values are there ,for these u r creating 20 form values ???.
My suggestion would be ,u do four calculation and put all your results in a hashmap ,and keep this hash map in to sesion ,using the following method
pageContext.putTransactionTransientValue("HashMapName",myHashMap);
and inside the PFR method when u want to display these values ,u can loop through your hashmap and can display these values.
like this
HasMap hm=pageContext.getTransactionTransientValue("HashMapName");
thanx

Disable text box on selecting a checkbox of multiple selection lookup field in infopath 2010

Hi
In edit mode of the form,
We have added one field in infopath which is lookup column and shows multiple selection chekboxes.
One of the option from that lookup checkbox list is "Other".
There is one textbox field which will be disabled by default.
We want to enable this text box on selection of "Other" from lookup field checkbox list.
Is it possible?
if yes how can we do this?

Hi Vyanky, I don't believe that's possible without some major functionality. The problem, as you probably know, is that it's a lookup with checkboxes. If it was added directly in InfoPath, then it wouldn't be an issue. You should consider adding "Other"
as a separate yes/no field instead. That way you'll be able to add an action rule to it to enable the text box.

How do you use the combo box to populate a text box

I am a beginner when it comes to Java Script. I have viewed many different discussions, look at a lot of "help" articles dealing with Acrobat 9 and Java Script, but only to be left confused and dazed. I am hoping someone will be able to tell me how to write a script that will populate a text box that is on my form with the combo box selection's export value...
Thanks

If you want the text box to be read-only, just set it up with the following custom calculate script:
// Set this field value to the value of the combo box
event.value = getField("combo1").value;
but replace "combo1" with the actual name of the combo box field.
If you want something else, post again with more information.

Can you calculate multiple text boxes to achieve a total value? If so how is that done? I am trying to create a order form where multiple items can be purchased but i would like the values of each item to calculate so I can achieve a total value.

Hi sashby51,
I've moved your discussion to the PDF Forms forum--the folks who visit this forum regularly should be able to point you in the right direction.
