How to show custom descriptions in drop down menu?

We are designing 3D pie chart in BAM report and trying to incorporate drop down menu at top.
The drop down menu is currently displaying 2 fields of associated dataobject - "TaskStatus" and "TaskUser".
But We would like to have "By status", "By user" insted of "TaskStatus" and "TaskUser".
Can anyone help us achieving this?
Thanks.

I'm assuming you are using Field type prompts and these 2 fields (TaskStatus and TaskUser) are fields to group by for the pie chart.
If that is the case, the only workaround I see is to create 2 calculated columns in the dataobject, using Architect and not Active Studio.
For example:
New field name: By status
Calculated expression: TrimEnd(TaskStatus)
New field name: By user
Calculated expression: TrimEnd(TaskUser)
Then edit your prompt so that the 2 new calculated columns are the selection options for the drop down.

How do I get the complete drop down Menu?

How do I get the complete drop down menu when I CTRL-Mouse click a folder. I am getting MORE in the bottom, and I need it to be removed.
Thanks

The "More" area in the contextual menu's are bothering quite a few people. It's a feature of Leopard and can't be removed. There may be a hack available, but I'm waiting for some help from Apple...
It reminds me of the Personalized menu's that Microsoft enables by default in some versions of MS Office for Windows. And it's a feature that I turn off immediately after installing Office for a client.

How do I delete other email addresses from showing up in the drop down menu (on ie. Facebook) when I'm logging in?

There are other people who have logged into facebook from my laptop so their emails still appear on the drop down menu when I type the first letter of the email. I would like to clear all the emails that appear. Please advise.
Thank you.

How to get "tones" tab in drop down menu

how to get "tones" tab in drop down menu

I assume that you are referring to the categories on your iTunes library (?), if you are then go into Edit > Preferences and on the General tab make sure that Tones is ticked
You can also enable the left-hand sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S, which then allows you to view the sections of your library (those enabled in Preferences) via that sidebar, and if you have iOS devices they will also show on that sidebar when connected.

How do I reset the font drop-down menu?

In the font drop-down menu, all used fonts are listed on top of the rest. Now I got a long pile of used fonts, but only two fonts among them are most frequently used, and I want to keep only these two on top of the drop-down menu. How do I reset the list (clear the history)? Thanks.

Mine shows only the last 6 used fonts. Note that you can option click the fonts drop down menu to show them only by name, without their preview, thus saving you some space.

Some font weights don't show up in Illustrator drop-down menu

This problem is happening with more than one font (on a Mac, OS10.6.6, CS5), but as an example:
I have the Futura font family, all weights from Light to Extra Bold Oblique, in my Fonts folder in my Home Library folder. When I select type, and choose Futura in the Font drop-down menu, only 4 weights of the font appear in the drop-down sub-menu, rather than all of those installed....

I have the very same problem. Though, it also occurs after logging out and back in.
To clarify, "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" speakable items don't show up after login, even though they are selected in the Speech Preferences. Toggling Speakable Items off/on will make them appear. However, they are suppose be available immediately.
How to test it out:
1. Go to the Speech Preferences in System Preferences.
2. Within the Speech Recognition tab, choose the Commands tab and select "Menu Bar" and "Front Window". I have selected all command sets in that list.
3. Turn on Speakable Items.
4. In the round Speech Feedback window that appears, there is a button at the bottom with a triangle pointing down. This is its menu. You can open the Speech Commands window from this menu and see a list of command sets, such as "Speakable Items", "Application Switching", "Address Book", and so on. In particular, there should be "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" since they have been selected in Speech Preferences.
5. Logout.
6. Login.
7. The Speech Feedback window should appear after login. You might also have the Speech Commands window if you didn't close it before logout. If not, then open the Speech Commands window from the menu on the Speech Feedback window.
8. Notice the command sets for "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" do not appear in the listing.
9. Open Speech Preferences in System preferences. Choose the Speech Recognition tab, and then the Commands tab within that, if not already chosen. Notice the "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" command sets are selected even though they did not appear in the Speech Commands Window.
10. Perform the workaround: toggle Speakable Items off/on. Notice the "Front Window" and "Menu Bar" commands will now show up in the Speech Commands window.
11. Feel free to repeat steps 5 - 10 as often as you like. sigh 8-|

How to build advanced search with drop down menu (ASP)

Hi,
I'm using CS4 with ASP / SQL. I have a search page which contains only 2 fields; one is user input (search term), the other is a drop down menu to define which column they want to search on. How can I define the SQL statement - or can I only choose to search on values in the table, rather than on columns?
thanks

Which dropdown menu you want to customized ?The specific menu we would like to customize is the 'Action' menu on the Person form that usually contains 'Create Employment' and so on. We have a specific recruiter responsibility that we would like to limit to 'Create Applicant'. I have been unable to come up with a combination of steps in personalizations that sets that value in the dropdown and allows it then be unchangeable. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I would prefer not to create a custom form but without personalizations, I might have to.

How do I turn off the drop-down menu on the back button?

I use a laptop and my hands aren't too dextrous. Every time I click the "back" button I get the drop down menu, which means I then need to move my hand back to the pad (slowly!) move the pointer, and try again. It can take me several attempts to go back one site now!
I have searched for hours to find out how to turn this drop down menu off, to no avail, and even looked through all the settings in about:config in an attempt to find a way around this. It seriously impacts my ability to use my laptop on the web now, so if anyone can please come up with a way to get back to the old back button, with no menu when my slow old finger cannot move fast enough to get off the button, I would be very grateful.

You can use that list and open the previous tab just above the one that appears bold and has a bullet.
The current active entry has a bullet in front of it.<br />
If you hover an entry in the tab session history list with the mouse then you see an arrow at the left side pointing left (Back) or right (Forward) to show the direction.<br />
You can left click an item to open it in the current tab or middle-click or Ctrl left-click an entry in that list to open that link in new tab, just like you can with other links.<br />

How to create a sort of drop down menu at mouse location please?

Hello,
I would like to create a sort of drop down menu. When the user right clicks, I would like to create something similar as if you right click in your browser, or right click in this forum text box area (you get "undo", "copy", "paste".. that appears right next to the mouse).
What Swing class would you use for that please?
Thank you very much.

Use a JPopupMenu
You will need to add a MouseListener that shows it to the component you want to display it on.

How to store session variables in drop down menu (and radiobutton/checkbox)

How am I going to store session variables in the drop down menu, radio button, checkbox.
In text area, I do like below:
<input type="text" name="membershipno" size="5" maxlength="50" value="<%=((session.getValue("Smembershipno")!=null)?session.getValue("Smembershipno"):"") %>">
Any idea?

Hi jeffkyt79, I could have answered this on Expert's Exchange. But I suppose it would be hard as the site is down right now :-(
Here is sample code for the form:
<form action="" name="form1">
<input type="text" name="field1" value="<%
if (session.getAttribute("field1")!=null) {
out.println(session.getAttribute("field1"));
} %>"><br>
<input type="text" name="field2" value="<%
if (session.getAttribute("field2")!=null) {
out.println(session.getAttribute("field2"));
} %>"><br>
<input type="text" name="field3" value="<%
if (session.getAttribute("field3")!=null) {
out.println(session.getAttribute("field3"));
} %>"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="tick"<% if (session.getAttribute("check1")!=null) out.println(" checked"); %>><br>
<% String selRadio=(session.getAttribute("r1")!=null)?(String)session.getAttribute("r1"):""; %>
<input type="radio" name="r1" value="yesdot"<% if (selRadio.equals("yesdot")) {out.println(" checked");} %>>
<input type="radio" name="r1" value="nodot"<% if (selRadio.equals("nodot")) {out.println(" checked");} %>><br>
<select name="sel">
<% String selOption=(session.getAttribute("sel")!=null)?(String)session.getAttribute("sel"):""; %>
<option value="option1"<% if (selOption.equals("option1")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 1
<option value="option2"<% if (selOption.equals("option2")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 2
     <option value="option3"<% if (selOption.equals("option3")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 3
</select>
</form>
And here's the revised javascript function to put in form1.jsp:
function newWin() {
f=document.form1.elements;
str="?";
mypage="test2.jsp"; // I've hardcoded the url for testing but you can fix this
for (i=0;i<f.length;i++) {
if (f.type=="text") {
if (f[i].value!="") {
str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
          continue;
     if (f[i].type=="checkbox"||f[i].type=="radio") {
     if (f[i].checked) {
     str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
     if (f[i].type=="select-one") {
     str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].options[f[i].selectedIndex].value+"&";
str=str.substr(0,str.length-1);
// now open the popup
mypage+=str;
win=window.open(mypage, 'myname'); // I've left out the winprops but you can fix this
If you can ask any more questions, could you do it on EE (if possible!!). I know this works because I've tested it.

How do I remove the autocomplete drop-down menu from textboxs, not the awesome bar?

I like having the drop-down menu from the url, but the autocomplete option for textboxs within like when I type my username and it pops up with all of the ones that has been used on that site are really annoying. How do I get rid for the latter? I didn't have this before I upgraded to Firefox, and now I can't get rid of it. Fyi, I'm rather tech inept, don't use complicated comp sci words please!

You can use History > 'Clear Recent History" to clear already saved form data.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

I'm trying to recreate a drop down menu my boss has on his website onto Adobe Formscentral. The problem is I don't want to make a drop down menu and have to type out every country he has on the website drop down "It's seriously has every country in the world" If there is script I have to type somwhere so be it, rather mess around with that than waste company time typing countries down.
