How to trigger a refresh of a dropdown list when the selection is changed

Hi,
This is a general ExtendScript question, but since I'm working with FM, I'll ask here first. I have a bit of a paradox here and I'm not sure of the best way to handle it.
I have a dialog box with a dropdown list, where I want to refresh certain controls when the user changes the selection in the list (dropdownList.onChange). This includes refreshing the contents of the list itself. However, the problem is, as soon as I try to refresh the list contents, it triggers onChange again. So, if I put the call to refresh the box within the onChange handler, it results in an endless loop, because my refresher function triggers onChange when it refreshes the list.
Does anyone know a better methodology, where I can safely trigger a refresh of a dropdown list within the list's own onChange event handler? I really wish that onChange was reserved for a user action only, or there was at least some property to that effect.

Hi Russ,
you can stop that with "stopPropagation()"
You can find this in "Javascript Tools Guide" on page 150.
I'm not able at the moment to send you an example 'cause I'm in a hospital for a while.
Happy New Year!

How to stop a cluster constant typedef from resizing when the typedef is changed?

Using LabVIEW 7.1...
I've been using cluster typedefs to make make constants on the block diagram. I usually resize them so they are nearly the size of a few characters. When the typedef is updated the constant expands to full size. Usually I can just resize it again but if the constant is inside a structure things get rather messy. To stop the structures from resizing I've been leaving the constants outside of them. Is there any way to stop the resizing? I've ensured that autosize is set to None for both the typedef and the constant on the block diagram.

I found the NI example that makes tst point.
In the "Palette API" (that was developed by an NI Developer and recently posted to the LV Zone) shows how sub-VI's can be used to fix the "auto-explode" diagram issue.
See image below.
BTW: It also lets you document the data through the documention of the sub-VI.

How to find if all items in a list containing the selected color

Hi
I'm using the code below to check what color the user has selected. This is only working when my item got one color. Now I would like to change my code so each item can have one or more colors (seperated by semicolon). I guess
I have to use string.IndexOf but I don't know how to use it in the .Where scentence below to return all the items that got the selected color.
Thanks, Sigurd F
var sampleDataGroups = await SampleDataSource.GetGroupsAsync();
sampleDataGroups = sampleDataGroups.Where<SampleDataGroup>(Item => Item.Color == KeywordColorList.SelectedValue.ToString()).ToList();

If the Color property of the SampleDataGroup class contains a string with different colours separated by a semicolon you could use the following code to determine whether the KeywordColorList.SelectedValue property is amont these colours:
var sampleDataGroups = await SampleDataSource.GetGroupsAsync();
sampleDataGroups = sampleDataGroups.Where<SampleDataGroup>(Item => Item.Color.Split(';').Contains(KeywordColorList.SelectedValue.ToString())).ToList();
Compilable sample code:
var sampleDataGroups = new List<SampleDataGroup>
new SampleDataGroup { Color = "blue"},
new SampleDataGroup { Color = "blue;red;green"},
new SampleDataGroup { Color = "red;green"},
string selectedValue = "blue";
sampleDataGroups = sampleDataGroups.Where<SampleDataGroup>(Item => Item.Color.Split(';').Contains(selectedValue)).ToList();

What is the missing factor?

Dropdown list with multiple selections

I need to create a dropdown list in a selection screen and allow the user to select more than one option. Can this be done. I know how to use VRM_SET_VALUES to create a dropdown but it restricts me to selecting only one value. The user should be able to select multiple values. Thank you.

Prepopulate dropdown list based on selections made in other fields

I wonder if anyone can help?
A form with a radio button group containing two radio buttons "yes" and "no".
Below the radio buttons is a dropdown list that has three items in the list "option A, option B, & option C.
Below that, is another dropdown list, with three items, "10000", "15000" & "20000"
How can I do the following?
When radio button "yes" is selected, and dropdown list "option A is selected, it prepopulates "10000" in the bottom dropdown list
When radio button "yes" is selected, and dropdown list "option B is selected, it prepopulates "15000" in the bottom dropdown list
When radio button "yes" is selected, and dropdown list "option C is selected, it prepopulates "20000" in the bottom dropdown list
Thanks in advance!

Headers in Dropdown lists? (Non-selectable items)

Does any one know how to make headers in dropdown lists? I have 2 groups of items I want to add a header for each in the dropdown list. The headers just have to be non selectable.
thanks,

Hi Kris,
In Designer 7.1, I created a DropDown List which includes Headers and sub categories under these headers, where the Headers are not selectable. When I built my DropDownList I then assigned Values to each item in the list, which I've put in brackets for you:
HEADER ONE (10)
Item A (1)
Item B (2)
Item C (3)
HEADER TWO (11)
Item X (4)
Item Y (5)
Item Z (6)
This is the JavaScript I wrote on the Exit event:
if (DropDownList.rawValue > 10) {
DropDownList.rawValue = "";
Hopes this works for you.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

How to find the when the password is changed for a system User

Hi to all,
We have a test database where our application connects to system user. The application runs more than a month without any issues, But suddenly my system and sys password gets changed. I wonder how this would happen. I have checked with DBA_USERS to check whether the account gets locked, But the account is in the Open state.
I need to find out when the password gets changed for these users and who changed it? Is there any possible to trace it or we need to enable the auditing to find it in future.
Kindly let me know the possible ways.

How do I invoke an ActionListener on a page when the page initially loads?

How do I invoke an ActionListener on a page when the page initially loads?
Page 1: A user clicks on a h:commandButton and is navigated to Page 2.
Page 2: When the page loads and goes through RESTORE_VIEW, APPLY_REQUESTS and RENDER_RESPONSE, I need to call an ActionListener in the managed bean for Page 2.
However, if the user comes in from any other page than Page 1, the ActionListener cannot be invoked intially when the page loads. The user has a choice to click on the h:commandButton on Page2 to invoke the ActionListener.
What is an example of invoking a method with the ActionListener signature in Java code?
Where would I put the code to invoke the ActionListener, in a beforePhase or afterPhase, constructor?
Thanks,
--Todd

Interesting. You're right. It doesn't happen when I click away from this site and then return. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Maybe it's the specific website I was thinking of and not Firefox. Unfortunately, I have to use that site all the time for work. I'll try contacting their webmaster. Thanks for your help.
