How to Populate values dynamically in Select Box.

Hi All,
I have few select boxes in my webdynpro application. Right now I am populating them using Harcoded values in the Dictionary. But I dont want to harcode the values in the dictionary, i want pull the values from database tables or text files of EP KM. Just let me know which is the better way to populate the select box without hardcoding & why ?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Aditya Metukul

Hi Aditya,
Getting values from KM and database is possible
It depends on your requirement
ie if the dropdown should contain details of documents from KM or it should display the details in a table
if it is oracle table see this link
Webdynpro and Oracle
if you want to get data from km see this tutorial
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/webdynpro/tutorial on using knowledge management functions in web dynpro - 26.htm
Hope this helps you

To do that you have to get your recordset, and insert option tags into a while cicle. Something like this:
<select name="mySelectName">
<%while(myRecordSet.next()){%>
<option value="<%=myRecordset.getObject(myField1)>"><%=myRecordset.getObject(myField2)%></option>
<%}%>
</select>

How to populate values dynamically & allows user to edit some other columns

Hi..I am new to Apex..please help me to sove it out...
I have a scenario like editing the some of the Customer details where as one field is dynamically populating from a different table.
Columns like Include, Frequency, Communication, Address and Exclude has to be displayed in tabular format and data should be stored in a table called "om_customer_catalog ".
In this "Communication " column value is dynamically populating from a table called "om_customer_settings" and the no. of records in the om_customer_settings table may vary time to time as per the settins in the Admin module.
I want the user to edit all details except Communication column for all the rows which is displayed and the no. of rows should be displayed dynamically as per the settings.
how can i achieve this?...which way i need to proceed like whether report kind of thing..or someother way..
hope some reply....
More Column details:
Include - a Check box with editable(values Y or N)
Communication - text field with display only(values like Promotional Email, All Email etc.)
Frequecny - Drop downbox with editable(values Annually/Monthly/Weekly etc)
Address - Drop down with editable(static values like Me, Father, Mother,Brother etc)
Exclude Reason - text field with editable(any text value)
Apply - a button for saving the changes
thanks in advace...
renjish

Hello Renjish,
Solution is quite tricky, You have to make a procedure which select each row of your tabular form and executes the update statement (customized).
e.g
to select each row of table use
begin
FOR I in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT
LOOP
insert into table_name values(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i),'PENDING',sysdate,'RESOURCE','','','','');
end loop;
end;
here APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i) will return the value of the first column of selected row. Pick the values and make a cutomized update command.

How to populate values dynamically in dropdownbykey

Hi All,
My requirement is to populate the dropdown filled in with values( and key) which are coming from the ZBAPI call ie web service model.
How do i achieve this ?
Kindly provide me with some pseudo code.
Reg/Venkat

Hi Venkat,
          You can populate dropdown values from webservice using the following steps. I assume you gave idea about custom controller.
step1:
      Create custom controller.Inside custom controller Bind input value then execute webservice.
step2:
      Now you have value node which is returned from web service. find thr size of value node.
After execute web service you can find size using the following code. create value node and model node object using the code.
Step3:
<custom controller name>.IRole_ResultNode modelnode=wdContext.nodeRole_Result();
<custom controller name>.IRole_OutputNode valuenode=wdContext.nodeRole_Output();
valuenode.invalidate();
int size=modelnode.size();
Step4:
     After find size using loop fetch values from model node into value node.Asume in this value node contains key and value.
for(int x=0;x<modelnode.size();x++){
<custom controller name>.IRole_ResultElement modelElement=modelnode.getRole_ResultElementAt(x);
<custom controller name>.IRole_OutputElement valueElement=wdContext.createRole_OutputElement();
valueElement.setId(modelElement.getKey());
valueElement.setText(modelElement.getValue());
valuenode.addElement(valueElement);
step5:
After that bind this value node(Role_Output) into Component controller. Then Bind value node(Role_Output) from component controller into view.
Step6:
Finally bind dropdown UI Element into Role_Output node's attribute(ID).

How to populate values in List Box in Adobe form

Hi,
How to populate values in List box in adobe forms?
Thanks
RB

if you want to display a fixed values in the dropdown you can use list box ui and can specify values there
or if u want to display values from the context node of the webdynpro
1. Drag and drop a Value Help Drop-down List element from the Web Dynpro Library tab to the Body Pages pane.
2. Drag and drop your node from the Data View tab onto it. This action binds the layout element to the corresponding node.

How to get value of html combo box (i.e select) in jsp?

Hello,
I was just wondering how to get value of html combo box in jsp page. My code for combo box is:
<select name="combo" size="1">
<%
List<Project> projects = mgr.getProjects();
for(Project project : projects){
%>
<option value="<%= project.getId()%>"><%= project.getName()%></option>
<%
%>
</select>
I thought combo.value might give me the value, but it throws exception.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

The combo does not exists in Java, but only in HTML. You have to submit the form containing the combo and then use request.getParameter("combo") to get it's value ;-)

How to update database with a select box

I'm hoping someone can/will help me with a new feature I'm
trying to add to my web site. I'll summarize what I'm working with
and then proceed to what I'd like to do. This is the web site I'm
working on: www.truckerstoystore.net
I have a database for the Truck of the Week set up with the
information that is output on each page in the left column and
on the Truck of the week page itself. I add new Truck of the
Week (TOW) entries via a form I've put together. Right now, in
order to change the current TOW, I have to manually go into my
template and change the ID (which is automatically assigned when
the record is created, and thus makes it unique) in my SQL which
currently reads
SELECT *
FROM truckofweek
WHERE ID="4"
to the ID of the current TOW.
What I want to be able to do is create a new form that will
allow me to select the TOW entry that I want to be displayed from a
select box (drop down box). I have a good idea of how to populate
my select box, but don't know how to get it to work. My first idea
was to update the table in the database (Access) manually with a
new column called currentTOW, with values set to a Yes/No type,
with default values set to "No". Then I would use my form to set
the value for one of them to "Yes" so I could set my SQL to 'WHERE
currentTOW ="yes" ' I would also make a <cfif> statement that
checks for entries marked "Yes" and changes them to "No" when the
form loads to avoid setting 2 entries to "Yes" and my page thus
attempting to load 2 TOW entries.
My problem is, I don't know how to do any of this. I hope
I've described this situation well enough. I know there has to be
at least one guru on here that can help me. Any assistance would be
greatly appreciated.

Hey,
Thanks for replying. That sounds like a good idea, but I
don't know how to do it.
I started working on a new idea, where I have a second table
in the same datasource set up called currentTOW, with one field
called currentTOW and only one record. The idea is to send the
string of the "owner" field from the select box, which is populated
from the table called truckofweek to this one cell in the
currentTOW table.
This way, in my page which will display the data, I have 2
querys. The first pulls the data in the single cell from currentTOW
and outputs its string into the second query. I've attached the
code below. I get an error when I try to display the page, see the
error here:
www.truckerstoystore.net/currentTOW2.cfm.
However, the SQL looks like I want it to look, as "WHERE Owner =
Craig Carp" is essentially the same record that it displays now in
the live page "/currentTOW.cfm" only the SQL currently reads "WHERE
ID = 4" (4 and Craig Carp are part of the same record).
Here is the link to my form:

How to populate table rows with selected listbox items?

Hello,
I am trying to populate a table with selected listbox items. Each item should be a new row in the table. The picture below is the listbox and table I am using. I need to get the selected name to populate the Attendee column of the table when the user clicks the Add button. How do you do this with mutltiple attendees selected?
Thank you,
Angie

So you're considering the fact the if the user clicks the button twice, the name will appear twice and you don't want this, right?
Then you must check if any value is the same than the one you are about to add in the row..
for (var i = 0 ; i < ListBox1.length; i++){
     if (ListBox1.getItemState(i) == true){
          for (var x = 0 ; x < Table1._Row1.count; x++){
               var boNewAttendee = true;
               var strAttendee = Table1.resolveNode("Row1[" + x.toString() + "]").txtAttendee;
               var newAttendee = ListBox1.getDisplayItem(i);
               if (strAttendee.rawValue == newAttendee){
                    boNewAttendee = false;
                    break;
          if (boNewAttendee){
               txtAttendee.rawValue = ListBox1.getDisplayItem(i);
