How to fill combo box with list of all SQL server

Ok, I know how to find all SQL servers that I need, I have code for that task, and I have Array of all servers.
My problem is ...
I made setup project and do a huge work, and in the end this task appear!
I used ORCA tool to change TextBox (A) template in visual studio (2008 by the way), and I transform first TextBox to ComboBox.
Now, the little part that I'am missing is how to fill this combo box with a result of my function for listin SQL servers?
Can I somehow send combobox object to myMethod:
private void FillCombo(ComboBox cmb)
// do the job
or
instanceOfThisCombo.Items.Add(listOfSQLServers);
please help me to solve this... thanksc#

Hi Valerij,
The ComboBox control in an MSI dialog uses the ComboBox table to populate the items in it. To get what you want, you need to update the ComboBox table in the MSI package with your application and run the MSI package. The following KB article describes how to dynamically populate a ListBox control in Windows Installer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291329
This method introduced in the above KB article also applies to populating a ComboBox control in Windows Installer.
I don't think it's possible to run the application as a Custom Action from within the MSI package because the application will modify the content of the MSI package which is currently running. So you need to launch the MSI package from within your application after updating the ComboBox table. In short, when installing, just run your application which updates the ComboBox table and install the MSI package.
Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu

How validate a combo box generated for a selectOne on javascript

Hi!!
I have a question!
i need how validate a combo box on javascript if this is generated by selectOne
for example:
<tr>
<td width="150px"><b>Cantidad a elegir:</b></td>
<td><f:selectOne att='idisponibilidad.cantidadElegir' type='combo'/></td>
</tr>
this is an form and this generates in the name of the select:
<select name="$FO$idisponibilidad.cantidadElegir">
<option value="0">..</option>
<option value="4">..</option>
</select>
but now I try to do this:
document.form.$FO$idisponibilidad.cantidadElegir.value
and obviously does not work!!!
someone knows how to validate
Thanks!!!

Taking Mark's Code .. add an id
<select id="personGender" <f:fieldName att="person.gender"/>>
<c:forEach var="gender" begin="0" items="${genders}" varStatus="status">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${person.gender == gender}">
<option value="<c:out value="${gender}"/>" selected="true"><c:out value="${gender}"/></option>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<option value="<c:out value="${gender}"/>"><c:out value="${gender}"/></option>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
</c:forEach>
</select>
Add an id to above code. In your submit button write a function on onclick event .. like onclick="submitForm()"
Write the functions as :
function submitForm(){
     if(validateFileds()){
document.<your form id>.submit();
function validateFields(){
if (isEmptyCombo ('personGender')) {
               alert ( "'Selecting a gender is mandatory" );
               focus('personGender');
               return false;
function isEmptyCombo (id) {
     var combo = document.getElementById(id);
     return combo != null && combo.options[combo.selectedIndex].value == "";
function focus (id) {
     if (document.getElementById(id)) document.getElementById(id).focus();
Thanks,
Karmaresh

Combo box in javascript

I have a combo box (combo1), and on changing the value selected in it, a second combo box (combo 2) is displayed on the screen.
I need to be able to add some java script code for Combo2, as depending on the value selected in it, some further action has to be done.
All the code i've tried searching for so far, uses the HTML version of combo box, and accesses the value in java script using the line "document.formname.OPTION.[selectedindex].value".
How would i do the same for a JSF combo box, in java script?
Thanks in advance :)

hi.. thanks for the response.. i did as u suggested but i got the following error : "document.all.menu8 is null or not an object "
The code for my combo box is as follows:
<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="selectOneMenu" id="menu8" onchange="display()">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="select" itemValue="select" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="option 2" itemValue="op2" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="option 3" itemValue="itemValue3" /></h:selectOneMenu>
<div id="op2" style="DISPLAY: none">The following is the java script snippet:
<script language="javascript">
     function display()
          document.all.op2.style.display='none';
          document.all.itemValue3.style.display='none';
          var d=document.all.menu8.getElementById(menu8);
          var name=d.options[d.selectedIndex].value;
          if(name!='select')
           eval("document.all."+name+".style.display='' ");
          </script>Is it that the 'div' tag is incompatible in this case?

How to fill selection box with clientside data?

i want to make a html form that reads option values from the client.
Because there are too many data, it's not reasonable for me to design a page which connects to server each time to fill the selection boxes.Instead i want to check if data resides at the clientside, if so fill selection boxes with that data, if not download it for the first time and store it on the client for later local retrieval.In addition i must be able to update that data residing on the client when i want.

Hi,
I can tell you some hints. Use cookies to store the information on to the client-side. You can read data from cookies using JavaScript. If you want to store huge amount of data on to the client-side, perhaps this would not be a better idea. In J2EE architecture we often use sessions to store values. You need to design your implementation in such a way that for the first time you fetch all the values from the database and put it in a session, and the next time onwards you can get the values from the session itself and thereby you can avoid going to database each and everytime. Write a Java class which has all the necessary get and set methods and store the object in the session. Using that object reference you can set and get the values from it. I hope this will help you.
Thanks

How to fill html control from javascript

I am trying to create a panel with html in it and I am not able to fill dropdown control from javascript.

Tim,
In order to consume a SOAP API I recommend you use something other than JavaScript.
Any platform can offer you a good SOAP client should be OK. (.Net, Java, php, Ruby, python).
I didn't see anyone successfully used javascript and consume the Eloqua SOAP API.
I know you can create a SOAP client in Java script but it will be too much work to handle the Eloqua response in some cases.

How do iuse combo query

pls i am using a jdeveloper in design a database code and i do not know the query to use for picking information from the combobox from the database to display in an interface.

Newb deserving assistance with Adobe Javascript (check boxes and combo boxes)

Hi, I'm a newb when it comes to javascript (using adobe acrobat pro 6.0).
I am working on a form that will allow me to autofill checkboxes based off of information chosen. Ideally, I would like to have a selection from a combo box autofill/auto checkmark check boxes. Alternatively, I would be willing to just have different selections presented with check boxes that when filled, would auto checkmark other check boxes (I know how to do this one, but I am not sure how to clear the check boxes if the initial one is unchecked).
I have the action button tied to the mouse up function. This just errors out.
var Citrix = this.getField("Citrix")
var Appro = this.getField("Appro")
var SAS = this.getField("SAS")
if (event.target.value=="Yes") {
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
else {
Citrix.checkThisBox = false
Appro.checkThisBox = false
SAS.checkThisBox = false
I have this that works, but I don't know how to clear the buttons when "Associate" is unchecked.
if(this.getField("Associate").isBoxChecked(0));
this.getField("Citrix").checkThisBox(0, true);
this.getField("Appro").checkThisBox(0, true);
this.getField("SAS").checkThisBox(0, true);
The other way I was working on it, was to use a combo box to autofill/checkmark check boxes. But this code doesn't work either.
function calculateTextField()
// get the value of the combo box
var comboValue = this.getField("Select").value;
// get the state of the checkbox
var isChecked = (this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
var textFieldValue = "";
console.println(comboValue);
if (isChecked)
if (comboValue == 0)
textFieldValue = "";
if (comboValue == "Associate")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
else if (comboValue == "Specialist")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "Yes");
else if (comboValue == "Team Leader")
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "No");
else
(this.getField("Citrix").value == "No");
else
textFieldValue = "";
this.getField("Select").value = textFieldValue;
Can anyone please assist me with this?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Gene,
Thank you for the response. Are you saying that my initial formula should look more like this; ?
var Citrix = this.getField("Citrix")
var Appro = this.getField("Appro")
var SAS = this.getField("SAS")
if (event.target.value=="Yes") {
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
else {
if (event.target.value=="Off")
Citrix.checkThisBox = true
Appro.checkThisBox = true
SAS.checkThisBox = true
Thanks,
Chris

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

How to change screen combo box value from a method?

Hi,
I have a screen that has a combo box and an ALV.
the combo box has the line numbers of the data in the ALV.
you can select the line item and then the ALV changes...
I fill the combo with function VRM_SET_VALUE.
all is good once the user changes the combo box.
I want to enable the user to click (hotspot) on ALV and then to ... and to change the value of the combo box to the line number he clicked on.
I couldn't change the value inside that box.
The combo box is declared as global parameter.
when I assign a value to it inside the method, it is good. but once back to PAI, it is the old value.
Do you have any idea how to set up that value?
Thanks.

Itay,
When you load the combo box, you should be setting a "key" for each entry in the combo box.
See below:
move '2010FY' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Full Year' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q1' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q1' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q2' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q2' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q3' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q3' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move '2010Q4' to Value-Key.
move '2010 - Q4' to Value-Text.
append value to list.
move 'COMBO1' to name. "name of Combo box in the screen
call function 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
    exporting
      id = name
      values = list.
So add these "keys" to a hidden column in the ALV grid. Then .... when the user presses a hotspot, pass the value of the hidden column (for the selected row) into the COMBO1 box.
move '2010'FY' into Combo1. " if they selected Full Year of 2010

How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums

HI Experts,
Good Mornong.How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums?
Regards And Thanks,
M.Thippa Reddy

hi,
loading data in to the combobox on form load.but, it should be done when atleast one row is active.
the values what ever you are inserting in to combo should be less than or eqhal to 100 or 150.if it exceeds beyond that performance issue arises.it takes more time to load all the data.so, it is better to have 100 or less.
oMatrix.AddRow()
RS = Nothing
RS = ocompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
RS.DoQuery("select ItemCode,ItemName from oitm")
oCombo = oMatrix.Columns.Item("ColumnUID").Cells.Item(oMatrix.RowCount).Specific
For i = 1 To RS.RecordCount
      If RS.EoF = False Then
            oCombo.ValidValues.Add(RS.Fields.Item("ItemCode").Value,RS.Fields.Item("ItemName").Value)
            RS.MoveNext()
      End If
Next
the above code is inserting data from database to column combobox.
you can fill combo directly also as shown below.
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("x","1")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("y","2")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("z","3")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("","")
and what ever the values you are filling into combo should be unique.other wise it shows valid value exists.

varma
