List Box Dialog Object VB CS4 or CS2

It appears that the InDesign Dialog object doesn't allow you to place list boxes. Does anyone know a work around for this. I need to match up the items for two lists that can contain 40 - 50 items each. Any thoughts?

They have something called a drop down list:
var aStringArray = new Array;
aStringArray.push("Hello");
aStringArray.push("World!");
var myDialog = app.dialogs.add ({name:"My First Dialog",canCancel:true});
with (myDialog)
with (dialogColumns.add())
with (dialogRows.add())
staticTexts.add ({staticLabel:"My List"});
dropdowns.add ({stringList:aStringArray, selectedIndex:0});
I guess 'real' Windows Listboxes are not supported -- can't find them in the newer (CS3) ScriptUI as well.
>..match up the items for two lists..
How were you planning to 'match up' two listboxes? Perhaps you can place two dropdown lists side by side?

I think your code is correct onlybut the problem may be where
you are passing the internal table to the FM 'VRM_SET_VALUES' ...
Try to use the following code..

Can't get "true" height of text box (text object) in Photoshop CS4-CS6 on Mac

I'm seeing this behavior in CS4, CS5 and CS6 on the Mac using AppleScript. When I get the height of a text object layer as such:
     tell app "Adobe Photoshop CS4"
          tell current document
               set textObjectHeight to height of text object of art layer 1
          end tell
     end tell
The value returned doesn't match the height of the text object. In my mind the text object is the box that's displayed when I click on text in a text layer with the text tool active. The value for the width appears to match, just as I'd expect.
I'm trying to get the height and width of the text box (text object) so that I can draw a box "underneath" it on another layer so that one can tell where the text box is. Kind of an FPO-type assistant. I'm currently using the position values and the height and width to create a colored box. I realized that the height isn't exactly right.
Any help would be great appreciated. I've not explored the use of Javascript thus far, but am open to that as a solution.
Thanks,
Stephan

I tried your code and it works just fine here… I used CS5 to try it… Here is a screen shot… I just put a solid fill layer at the bottom so you can see the guides…
Script editor's event log gives me…

I am recording an SAP portal application, whereby the list boxes are recorded twice.
For example: see the code below where during the recording I selected the value from drop down once but this step recorded twice. Moreover, It happens only to the drop down objects only.

Browser("Create Sample Request").SAPPortal("Create Sample Request").SAPFrame("Sales Sample Create -").SAPList("Sample Reason: *").Select "Quality Issue"

List Box - Object How do you get "allow multiple item selection" option to work?

developing a fillable PDF form using livecycle. I have several list boxes that contain multiple text items. I have entered all items directly into the item list and I have selected "allow multiple selection". The object is committed on exit, All the binding options have been left on default settings. BUT when the form is tested it will not allow multiple selections. I cannot find anything in help to resolve this. CAN Someone help me. This is urgent!!!!!

Dear Deb
Thank you for your suggestion, but it does not appear to work. I used the alt key then my mouse to select, but it still only allows for 1 selection. I do not see the sample you said you included, so I cannot check to see if I have a setting incorrect. If you have any other suggestions I would really appreciate it or if there is a way for you to look at the form, at this point I am open to any suggestions.

How to capture the selected values from module pool dialog list box !

Hi experts,
Can anyone help me out in capturing the values from the list box.
i am able to set the values in the list box.But i am not able to capture the selected value from the list box. Always the list box name is getting as "space"
I also tried in using the FM "VRM_GET_VALUES" but it is retireving all the values. Is there is any flag for filttering out the selected value.
Your inputs are appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay.

Along with the PBO and PAI event, add a POV event in the flow logic of the screen
DEMO_DROPDOWN_LIST_BOX -is a good demo example.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
FIELD structure_name-field_name MODULE create_dropdown_box.
In the report :
MODULE create_dropdown_box INPUT.
SELECT carrid carrname
 FROM scarr
 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab_carrid.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
 EXPORTING
 retfield = 'CARRID'
 value_org = 'S'
 TABLES
 value_tab = itab_carrid
 EXCEPTIONS
 parameter_error = 1
 no_values_found = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
In the layout, assign a Function Code , for eg : 'SELECTED' to the listbox and lets say name of the field is SDYN_CONN-CARRID. So in the PAI module,
MODULE user_command_0100 INPUT.
CASE ok_code.
 WHEN 'SELECTED'.
 MESSAGE i888(sabapdocu) WITH sdyn_conn-carrid.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.
sdyb_conn-carrid will contain your selected field

How do i get a list of all objects in a combo box

I want to get the list of all Objects in a JComboBox. I appreciate your help! Thanks!

I already know the solution with getItemCount and
then the for loop with getItemAt. I'm curios if there
exist somethig like Object[] getAllItems()If it's not in the API, then it's not available. You can create your own ComboBoxModel that will return an Object[] of elements and call setModel on your combobox.

Acquire data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp

I am trying to import data from a tab delimited file using a popup dialog object on a stamp. I have purchased the book by Thom Parker--All About PDF Stamps in Acrobat and Paperless Workflows and have been working through the examples in the appendix.
My problem is understanding how to bring the data into the dialog object from the file.
I don't want to plagiarize his book--so am electing at this time not to show my code. The script is reading the file, just not bringing in the records from the file so that I can select which line to import into the stamp.
I have typed in the code exactly how the book describes, but when the popup dialog object is selected, there is nothing in the drop-down. When I click OK, the first record is put on the stamp--except for the fields that I am wanting to appear in the dialog object popup box.
I have searched the forums, and also the JavaScript reference. There are examples of the popup dialog object, but none of them show how to import the data from a file--just for the items to be typed in as the list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! i have been trying to work on this for several months now.

Karl
Thank you for getting back with me!
In answer to your questions:
1. Your trusted function is not a trusted function. Did you put this
function into a folder level script so that it will get executed at system
startup?--
yes--I saved the script as a .js file and put it in the following path (I have Acrobat XI Pro for Windows)
C:\Documents and Settings\tjohnson\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\11.0\JavaScripts\GetTabData.js
2. The script cannot find your tab delimited data file, or it cannot
extract the data. Did you add the data file in the correct location? The
location from the script in the book would be c:\mydata\Contacts.txt
Yes--the file is in the same path as the book.
Below is my code that references the file.
var cPath = "/c/mydata/Contacts.txt";
the slashes in the book go in the direction of the text above--should they go in the direction that you have in your question?
Also, the name and email address need to be separated by one Tab character.
They are.
3. The fields need to be named the same way as the columns in the data file (the two names are in the first line of the file).
My headings are RevByFromTab and EmailFromTab--which match the names of the two fields on the stamp.
So, check that you are not getting any errors in the JavaScript console
(Ctrl-J or Cmd-J), and verify that the tab delimited file is in the correct
location
When I run in the java script console--and I just run the script on the stamp,
it says
TypeError: event.source is null
17:Console:Exec
undefined
When I place the stamp on the page, the popup box is working, but when you click on the down arrow, there is nothing listed. When I click OK, the RevByFromTab is populated by the first item in the file, but the EmailFromTab field says undefined.
Thank you

How to get the selected value/key of a drop down list box in webdynpro Java

Dear SDN Members,
I have added some static data into a drop down list box by key UI element using the procedure specified in value help tutorial.
Now i want to display the value selected in a dropdown list box on view whenever i select an item in a dropdown list box.
Can any one put here the code part relating to this.
Your help will be awarded.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Sireesha.B

Hi Sireesha,
You want to display value based on the key selected in dropdown list. If you want to do like that
1) Create a context attribute for ex: key_value
2)In the properties of the attribute select the calculated as true.
3)It will create getter and setter methods for your attribute.
4)Go to implementation add the following code in getter method of your attribute
String attributeName = IPrivateCreate.IContextElement.KEY;
//KEY is your dropdown key attribute not the value attribute.
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = element.node().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(attributeName);
ISimpleTypeModifiable simpleType = attributeInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet valueset = simpleType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
Object key = element.getAttributeAsText(attributeName);
return valueset.getText(key);

Suresh
