Is it possible to havedrop down lists in cells of a table?

Hi -
I have LV7.1 Dev Suite. I would like to create a table that I can have drop-down lists in any given cell of the table. Is there a way to do this with the "table" selection in the lists & tables section of the controls palette?
Thanks for any help.
Rob

Another option that is a bit more extensible is to use a borderless VI launched when you click/context-click on the table. Use the mouse-down event to launch it. I don't have an exact example, but the attached context menu example (LV7.0) shows the basic principle and may be more what you want anyway. You can dynamically change the size and number of elements in the borderless VI to anything you want before you open it.

Is it possible to create interactive drop down lists that reference tables on separate pages of the PDF?

I am looking to create a user input PDF in which drop down lists are utilized to search tables, however, I am not very familiar with the options that are available or if this is even possible? Also, is it possible to write a background code that could read user inputted text to run a search or even solve some equation? Can someone let me know if these items are possible and/or let me know what adobe program may be necessary to accomplish these tasks? Thanks!

PDFs have no concept of "tables" like MS Word or MS Excel has. There is content that looks like a table.
Acrobat JavaScript does know about arrays and form fields. So one could have an array in JavaScript and fill in a series of fields that looks like a table. One can then use JavaScript to search the table.
JavaScript in Acrobat can accept user input in fields and pop-up windows.
It is possible to solve user imputed equations if the proper notation or coding is used.

How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Pivot Tables

Hi Everyone,
Iam stuck with 1 problem please can any 1 help me if u know the solution.
Here is my problem:
How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Oracle BI Pivot Tables?
For example, if you place Region in the pages area, a Region drop-down list allows the user to select a particular region, and see the data for only that region, rather than seeing all the Regions,But by default its not showing "ALL" option in the drop down list ,rather than doing that its showing result for only 1 region by default.
And an other problem with this pages area is, if we palce the multiple attributes in the Pages area in the pivot table, the (Fields)result is showing in vertically, the attributes 1 by 1(Every attribute in a new line) ,rather than showing like that, is there any way to show the results in horizantally?(We want to have it as a seperate drop drown list for every field horizantally not as a concatenated list).

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.

Master detail form - drop down list in detail (ADF)

Hi,
Been racking our brains for a few days/weeks about this one, and would be grateful for any pointers why this does not work.
We have developed an in-house application for dealing with risk and chemical assessments.
The process we have adopted allows users to create an assessment first then they are taken to another form where they are then able to add risk factors/ or chemicals relating to the assessment. The intention is to present the user with the ability to select from a drop down list which contains the chemical names.
We have been going through the forums and have tried all the examples we can find (all the examples work on our system), but when we try to adapt them to our approach they create an error indicating that they cannot find the values in the entity object.
Has anyone else come across the same problem or is it that the ADF is not suited to dealing with the master/detail approach and drop down menus.
The drop down lists are in an ADF table.
Thanks in advance
Andrew

Hi Kuba,
Thanks for the pointer, I think we tried that one early on. For the time being we have opted for using a selectInputText box, and that appears to be working. Well at least it has got us past the deadline for yesterday, now onto the next deadline.
Thanks again!

Web Service with Drop Down Lists for database selections

Hello,
I want to define a Web Service with the JDeveloper which can do the following.
I´ve got a database table with several columns which represents a customer adress and name.
On a WebSite I like to have three Drop Down Lists to search in that table. The first list should include the field "name". When I select a name there the second list should show all streets (field "street") where people with the selected name live. When I select the street the third list should show me the house numbers (field "hn") of the customers with the selected name and street.
What have I to do to define a application, a project and so on?
Many Thanks!

Hello,
This question is not directly related to Web Services, since in this case you can consider that the Web Service is your "model" providing data to your view (JSP). One of the question I would like to ask you is: why do you want to use a Web Service to do that? and how you want to deploy this?
In a general manner, if you use Web Service it is to be able to reuse the business logic in other projects, so based on this statement I would create a specific project that will contain you "model" so all your services.
The to consume it from your JSP you have different ways:
- create a Java proxy, or use @WebServiceRef to call the client
- use Javascript to call the service directly from the HTML page, take a look to the Oracle Web Service endpoint page, where you can see some Javascript stub links.
Please give more details about your project and needs and I will try to give you a proper answer.

Is it possible to show first item in a Drop down list

Is it possible to automatically display the first item in a drop down list ?
The reason I ask is ... I am generating pre-filled PDF forms using XML data files.
Whenever there is a certain type of data I am populating a drop down list for the user to review.
Currently, the user must click on the drop down to see if data is there regardless of whether there is no data at all or many data lines of data..
I would like to make it clear to the user whether or not there is any data - right awa.y
I have considered creating a display item next (like a check box or a text field ) next to the drop down and setting it to cindicate if there is data, etc -
but i thougth that I would ask if the drop down could simply be set to automatically display the first item in the list (this is the preferred functionality)
If this is not possible I can always create a check box and set it if there is any data as an indicator for the user ..
Thanks

You can do this way..
Place the code in Inititalize event with Java Script
if(DropDownList1.rawValue == null)
DropDownList1.selectedIndex = 0;
You need to check if the Dropdown has a value selected from the previous save.. If not then set the selected item to 0th index. (which is 1st one in the dropdown values)..
Thanks

Is it possible to allow use to type entry into a drop down list box ?

Hi ,
Is it possible to provide type in the value option ( provide option to user like he can select a value from the extracted data in a drop down list object and also he can enter a value manually ) to a drop down list box on an interactive form ?
Nanda

Hello Nanda,
In the Adobe LiveCycle Designer you can specify several list items for objects of type 'Drop-down List' and it is also possible to allow custom entries (checkbox: "Allow Custom Text Entry").

Using a variable/drop down list in header of planning layout

Dear all,
I have created a simple BPS application for purely GL planning (No CO related objects like cost centre involved). I have the following characteristics in the header of the manuel planning layout.
Business area
Chart of accounts
Company code
Currency
Currency Type
Fiscal year
Fiscal Year Variant
Fiscal year/period
Value type
Version
I have created variables for Business area, Fiscal Year, Fiscal Year Period, Posting Period and Version. The client wants either a variable or a drop down list for these characteristics in the header in the web application. When I assign a variable and put the characteristic in header, I get the error message in the web application saying header characteristic can only have a fixed value. Can someone tell me if it is possible and if so than how? I'll be very grateful for any inputs. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi,
When you create a variable, assign some values to the variable. These then become available in the drop down box. Ths first time a Web interface is called, these variable values are initial.As a result, u get the error messages. Select the variable values and then the error message should go away.
Thanks,

Master Password Feature: After sometime (10-15 min.) the drop down list for the field on any site does not show; opening new window (not refresh or new tab) drop down appears.?

I manage a ton of accounts for different customers suing the same login pages (GoDaddy, WordPress, etc.) I use the Master Password Feature to help keep track of the many variants in logins and passwords.
After some unknown period of time, even closing the page tab so a new page session is started at the remote server, Firefox does not provide me with the usual drop-down selection list of the previously used login names. However, if I open a new FF window (file/new window) from the menu bar, the drop down becomes available.
How can I refresh the original window session in FF or change the timeout length?

Well, you said LOV...that might mean you are using JDev 11g. Are you? If so what technology stack are you using?
Assuming you are using JSF (?) you might be "backing" your list component in the application scope...but that is not likely.
If you are using ADF/BC on your business component level, you can clear your view object from which you are querying the possible values of this list...unless your you have made a method to compile this list...in which case you know what you are doing...so that is probably not the case.
Essentially you want to requery the VO upon which your LOV is based...unless you are using JPA or something...and then I know "requery" is not the right word...is it?

How can i redirect 5 choice options from a drop down list into 5 separate text fields?

I have a number of drop down lists which push one of 5 choices to a text field on another page.
I want to be able to push each choice from one drop down field to a separate field, so that it is not possible to duplicate the drop down choice.
The resulting page is going to be locked.
What script do I need to use to send each of the five choices specifically to five separate text fields?
Thanks for the insight.

Hi Paul,
I've had a look at the sample script you posted. I'm not sure how to make it work with the form I'm creating. (I sent it to you earlier.) Would you mind setting one of the fields up on my form so that I can get an idea of how to then push the choices set up on the "visible on screen only" to the textfields which are locked on the visible page? Do i lock the fields in the same way?
Will I need to create a new script for each of the arrays I'll be creating? for example, myScript1, myScript2, my Script3....
Why do i need a reset button?

BUG: Sorting drop-down lists from the field tab when using "specify item values"

Hi all,
I've finished creating my form now, but I came across this whilst writing up my documentation for maintenance tasks.
This occurs when adding new values to a drop-down list that has the "Specify item values" checkbox in the binding tab checked.
When I then try to sort my list using the built in sort buttons, it will sort the items, but the list of specified values in the binding tab does not sort reorder to stay with the original items in the list. This is hapenning when I sort from the Object > Field tab. If I sort in the Object > Binding tab then the sort will include the specified values.
For example:
A    5
C    2
D    9
Add a new value to get:
A    5
C    2
D    9
B    10
Sort the list using the button:
A    5
B    2
C    9
D    10
But it should be:
A     5
B     10
C     2
D     9

I was able to duplicate this problem and it looks like a possible bug. I've submitted it to support.

How to get Date value from database and display them in a drop down list?

Hello.
In my Customers table, I have a column with Date data type. I want to create a form in JSP, where visitors can filter Customers list by year and month.
All I know is this piece of SQL that is convert the date to the dd-mm-yyyy format:
SELECT TO_CHAR(reg_date,'dd-mm-yyyy') from CustomersAny ideas of how this filtering possible? In my effort not to sound like a newbie wanting to be spoonfed, you can provide me link to external notes and resources, I'll really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Rightbrainer.

Hi
What part is your biggest problem?? I am not experienced in getting data out of a database, but the way to get a variable amount of data to show in a drop down menu, i have just messed around with for some time and heres how i solved it... In my app, what i needed was, a initial empty drop down list, and then using input from a text-field, users could add elements to a Vector that was passed to a JComboBox. Heres how.
package jcombobox;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.Vector;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Main extends JApplet implements ActionListener {
    private Vector<SomeClass> list = new Vector<SomeClass>();
    private JComboBox dropDownList = new JComboBox(list);
    private JButton addButton = new JButton("add");
    private JButton remove = new JButton("remove");
    private JTextField input = new JTextField(10);
    private JPanel buttons = new JPanel();
    public Main() {
        addButton.addActionListener(this);
        remove.addActionListener(this);
        input.addActionListener(this);
        buttons.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        buttons.add(addButton);
        buttons.add(remove);
        add(dropDownList, "North");
        add(input, "Center");
        add(buttons, "South");
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if (e.getSource() == addButton) {
            list.addElement(new SomeClass(input.getText()));
            input.setText("");
        } else if (e.getSource() == remove) {
            int selected = dropDownList.getSelectedIndex();
            dropDownList.removeItemAt(selected);
    public void init(String[] args) {
        setSize(400,300);
        getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        getContentPane().add(new Main());
}And that "SomeClass" is show here
package jcombobox;
public class SomeClass {
    private String text;
    public SomeClass(String input) {
        text = input;
    public String toString() {
        return text;
}One of the things i struggled a lot with was to get the dropdown menu to show some usefull result. If the list just contains class references it will show the memory code that points to that class. Thats where the toString cones in handy. But it took me some time to figure that one out, a laugh here is welcome as it should have been obvious :-)
When the app is as simple as this one, using a <String> vector would have been easier, but this is just to demonstrate how to place classes in a vector and get some usefull info out of it, hope this answered some of your question :-)
The layout might have been easier to write, than using the toppanel created by the JApplet and then the two additional JPanels, but it was just a small app brewed together in 15 minutes. Please comments on my faults, so that i can learn of it.
If you need any of the code specified more, please let me know. Ill be glad to,
