List Box or Combo Box?

I am not sure if either of these are what I need to use.
I will show an example:
I have four categories that I would like to add up to 100%
Attitude     What type of form field can I use that if I put 25% here
Worth-ethic       and 25 %
Timeliness        and 50%
Promptness      and 0%
TOTAL          This would automatically total 100%
Is this possible?
Thanks.

It's not really clear what you want to do. If you describe in more detail what you're trying to accomplish, it might help.

Can I attach a specific action to a choice in a list box or combo box?

I have a list of 26 sports that I would like people to choose from--in either a list box or combo box or any other tool that would work best. When they choose a particular sport, I would like another PDF to appear with the roster for that sport for this year, allowing them to check off certain players. Is this possible? Everything I see is in javascript or some other language that I don't know.
Thanks.

I am piling on Gary's question, as I would like to know the answer as well. But first a little more color in case there is another way to do this....
When I get an email, I usually take some sort of action. I currently do not have a good way to note the actions I have taken against any particular email. This is why I want to know how to attach a note or a To Do to a particular email. I thought the To Do list would work, but when I type a To Do with a particular email sometimes it appears in the list and sometimes it doesn't.
So my goal is to have a way to create a history of action against a particular email.
Gary, I hope this is a valuable extension to your request as opposed to a diversion from your original intent. With any luck together we'll get a bit more traction for your request.
Thanks.

Access 2010 - How to display data from a table into a text box upon combo box selection?

Hi
I have a a table with 5 columns: month, year, USD, SGD, BAHT.
I created a form with a combo box for selection of the month and year, and I would like to set adjacent text boxes to show USD, SGD, BAHT information. How can i go about doing that?
From the Q&A here, most of them uses the function similar to this "=[Combo0].[Column](1)" to show the data in the text box, but this would require the combo box to list a whole bunch of details if i were to add in more currency values to the
table. Is it possible to not show this information in the combo box, but still populate data in the textboxes base on a selection on only the "month" and "year" in the combo box.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to show only the month/year in the combo box, we can choose the date, and it will display the value of USD/SGD/BAHT based on the month/year.
If it is, I recommend you try the steps:
Create a form based on your data source table>Add the combo box>combo box wizard>Find a record on my form based on the value I selected my combo box>Add mouth and year to selected fields

If check box then combo box

Hi there,
I have been searching for the answer for this question.
I am trying to write JavaScript for the following situation. If my check box is selected then the values of combo box 1, combo box 2, and combo box 3, will all read "N/A". My fields in each combo box is " " "yes" "no" and "N/A" If someone could help me out with this answer that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
You need to use following Javascript code in Acrobat form to achieve your requirement.
if((this.getField("CheckBox1").isBoxChecked(0)))
this.getField("Dropdown1").value = "N/A";
this.getField("Dropdown2").value = "N/A";
this.getField("Dropdown3").value = "N/A";
if((!this.getField("CheckBox1").isBoxChecked(0)))
this.getField("Dropdown1").value = " ";
this.getField("Dropdown2").value = " ";
this.getField("Dropdown3").value = " ";
Please see attached PDF for reference.

Importing a list into a combo box.

I need to import several large lists into combo boxes in a form I am creating in AcrobatPro XI. I found the comboPopulateTest.pdf in another discussion; however, this only populates the items in the list. I need to import the Export Values associated with each item as well. Can the Java Script be modified to include two items on each line? I have tried but cannot get it to work -- I don't know if I have the correct name for the Export Values field, or if I'm doing something else incorrectly.

It can be done with a script. Have a look at the setItems method of the Field object.

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

I suspected that was the goal, but your code seems a lot more
complex than that, like you wanted to load another data set
onChange.
See if this works for you:
<script src="SpryAssets/includes/xpath.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/includes/SpryData.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/JavaScript">

</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
function openURL( form ) {
var newIndex = form.urls.selectedIndex;
if ( newIndex == 0 ) {
alert( "Please select a location!" );
} else {
newurl = form.urls.options[newIndex].value;
window.location=( newurl );
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div spry:region="dsURLs">
<form name="form"><select name="urls" id="urls"

Can I have a blank field on my document when using a combo box with a drop down list in Word 2011 for Mac?

I am creating a drop down list using a combo box in the Developer tab. Once I protect my document I want the field to remain empty and not show any of the items on my drop down list. Is there a way to do this? Currently it shows one of the items on my list.
Thanks

Paul's answer is correct.
Since this is a Word IT forum for Windows, in the future you should use the
answers.microsoft.com forum. It specializes in Word for the Mac. BTW - Paul stops by there also, so you'll still get his advice from there. :-)

How to list the Enumeration values of a WebService in a Combo Box in VC

Hi,
I am trying a typical example of currency converter using Visual Composer in NWCE 7.1 EHP1.
I am using the webservice http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx?WSDL for this example.
Is there any way to list all the "Currency" enumerator values in a Combo Box? Currently I am using a simple text box where one has to type in the 3 letter currency symbol manually. I would like to replace this text box with Combo box.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi
This can not be done Vc only "sees" the returned data in the webservice, it can not access the meta data from the webservice.

ISO country list in combo box

I have tried searching the forums and am really surprised I did not fine any questions about importing a list into a combo box. Maybe I am not seeing how to do something simple.
I have a list of ISO country codes that I would like to have in a combo box on an acrobat form. I don't really want to type each one in individually and have tried pasting the list in which did not work. Is there any way of doing this without retyping the whole list?

Not necessarily. I created a tool that does exactly that. Have a look at
this page from my website:

You can contact me privately if you're interested in purchasing it.

Simple combo box question

I have Flash MX 2004 Pro. I want to create a
movie/graphic/button ( not sure which one yet) of a county
(obviously from a state map) and I want to have all of the counties
(over 40) listed in a Combo Box. I would like the Combo box to
automatically be updated/populated every time I create a
movie/graphic/button of a county. I would like to be able to click
on a county name in the combo box and have the county highlighted.
While the graphic part is doable, I am asking for help with the
scripts.
One more thing: I have a text box that I want to have data
displayed only for the specific county. So I am thinking of
creating a text box that is invisible in the State swf but will be
viewable when the county is selected (mouse over or thru the combo
box). Do I have to use the scripts to make it viewable when the
movie is selected?
Is this even possible with my version of Flash and if so,
does anyone have some codes I can look at?
Thanks.

As far as the text goes, there are several ways to do that.
Simplest way is to make the text visible when rolled over and
invisible when rolled out. That way you get the text positioned and
formated the way you want. It isn't the best method in terms of
maintenance. A better method is have one text clip that you can
position in relation to the (x,y) coordinates of the highlighted
county and pull the text for the county from an array. The latter
requires more script but is easier to go back and change since all
you do is update an array.
I just noticed a line in the onRollOut
this[this._parent._name + "menu"].selectedIndex = 0;
that will serve you no purpose whatsoever. I missed deleting
that from the script I modified to post to you. It doesn't hurt
anything since it targets nothing you have

Combo Box In QueryComponent

Hi,
I am using a programmatic view object in adf query component and have created List of values for one attribute by adding another programmatic ViewObject as ViewAccessor. In the Ui hints of that attribute i made list type as Combo Box. To populate the combo box, have overwritten the executeQueryForCollection of the ViewObject.
With this appraoch am able to return the list of options(texts) to be displayed in combo box. But am not able to decide the value for each option in the combo box. System assigns zero based index as the values for options.
Please some one tell me that Is there a way to define value for each option diplayed in the combo box.
Thanks in Advance,
Vivek....

You're catching Exceptions in empty catch() blocks. There might have been an exception, but you won't know if the catch block doesn't do anything.
Try something like this:
catch(SQLException e){
System.err.println( "Problem with db query"+e.getMessage() );
e.printStackTrace( System.err );
}in order to see what's going wrong with your code.

Only Dimension Table Values in Combo Box or Drill Down Selections

Hi All,
How to get only Dimension Table Values instead of Master Data Values in Combo Box or Drill Down Box list of values?
I am getting all the values in 0CALMONTH Combo Box where i need only infoproviders values.
In Entry List tab of Combo Box when i select 0CALMONTH its reading from its Master Data.Is there any option how there is Dimension table in Value help.
In Query, infoobject levels the filter values selection is set as infoprovider only.
Can anyone please let me know how to get only dimension table values when we use combo box.
Thanks & Regards
K.Srinivas Rao

Hi
Create one BI query with only one object in the output of the query. (In your case 0CALMONTH)
So now if when you run the query it will show values which are there in infoprovider. THen drag one form from output of this query in vc & create dropdown list on this.
Is this what you are looking for?
