List/Menu control

When I load a List/Menu control, this first item in the list
in always
displayed. I'd like to have nothing displayed, forcing the
customer to
select an item from the list. Other then adding
"<option></option>"
as the first item in the list, is there any other way to have
nothing
displayed on the initial value of the list.
Thank you...

List/menu options from database

Hello
I need help trying to populate 2 list/menu with some database information.
Let's suppose that this is my table:
Id
Brand
Model
1
ford
f1
2
citroen
c1
3
citroen
c2
4
citroen
c3
5
toyota
t1
6
toyota
t2
7
volvo
v1
I have 2 list/menu. One is the brand menu, which extracts the values in the brand column of the database (using the DISTINCT statement in MySql). So when you click the menu, these options appear:
ford
citroen
toyota
volvo
The code for that menu is something like this:
<select name="menu_marque" id="menu_marque">
<option value="null">select</option>
<?php do { ?>
<?php
print '<option value="'.$row_marque_recordset['marque'].'">'.$row_marque_recordset['marque'].'</option>' ;
?>
<?php } while ($row_marque_recordset = mysql_fetch_assoc($marque_recordset)); ?>
</select>
Now, I want to do the same for the model menu. The problem is that I don't know how to write in the Sql, that it should take the selected value of the brand menu. I have something like this:
SELECT modele FROM test WHERE marque = 'colname' ORDER BY modele ASC
(where colname is: $_POST['menu_marque']..... Obviously I am not getting the value by a POST method, but I tried changing it to something like:
menu_marque.selectedIndex
but it doesn't work...... Any tips on how can I solve this

Hi DanielAtwood,
Thanks for your reply...
Actually when i send the variable in 'WHERE Clause' in Db Adapter query it will retrieve more than one record as the output.
I want to put that values to a 'SelectOneChoice' component and list down all the values..
First I tried with data control. But i couldn't find the way to pass the value to the variable(in WHERE clause) to the query in data control view.
Thanks,
Nir

Edit menu control from block diagram

On my front panel I have a menu control that lists the existing file folders for saving the test data. If the operator want to add a new folder I want the Block diagram to write a new folder and add the entry to the menu control list.

What I would suggest is that your menu have a selection called "New", then if the user selects this, the file dialog would pop up and allow the selection of a new folder. Using a property node, write the new path to the Strings[] property to update the list. At the end of the program, you could write the list to an ini file to save the new list. You would also want to read this ini file when the program starts and write the list to the Strings[] property.

A simple list menu(!)

I’m trying to create a simple list menu that will load my .swf file is a scrolling panel. I have played about with Flash 8 a long time ago so im very rusty and getting myself in knots ….
Here is my attempt can anyone help
Thanks
import fl.controls.List;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
var defaultMainDisplay:URLRequest = new URLRequest("home.swf");
// List box info
var File_list:Array = [
{label:"Home File", data:home.swf},
{label:"File 1", data:swf\File1.swf},
{label:"File 2", data:swf\File2.swf},
{label:"File 3", data:swf\File3.swf},
MyList.dataProvider = new DataProvider(File_list);
MyList.allowMultipleSelection = true;
MyList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, showData):void{
// I want the selected (data) .swf file to be loaded into a ScrollPalette on the screen replacing the default home.swf
removeChild(loader);
var newMainDisplayRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(+ event.target.selectedItem.data);
loader.load(newMainDisplayRequest);;
addChild(loader);
mainDisplay.loadMovie("home.swf");

I thought I might bright it down a level with using frame levels, but without success AGAIN!....
import fl.controls.List;
import fl.data.DataProvider;
var graphic:Array = [
{label:"Home Page", data:"home"},
{label:"About", data:"about"},
{label:"Index", data:"index"},
myList.dataProvider = new DataProvider(graphic);
myList.allowMultipleSelection = false;
myList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, showData);
function showData (event:Event)
{ gotoAndStop (+ event.target.selectedItem.data);
/// This should make it {gotoAndStop (home, about or index....);}

Autocomplete popup list menu

Hi,
I am impressed by the autocomplete feature when I type in text editor of the netbeans. You know, when I type javax.swing. then I wait for seconds, or press Ctrl-Space, it will popup menu. The popup menu will offer me some word to complete the word "javax.swing.", maybe word like border, JTextField, JTable. So you just press arrow to choose the word. Very convenient. How do I make that kind of popup menu but this time I want to make in cell of the jtable. So if I type something in cell of the jtable, it will check the word I type and popup autocomplete list menu with scrollpane too according the word I type. If I type "wel" then it will offer word "come".
Thank you.
Regards,
akbar

Hello.
I have something that might help you. Here is the story : I use IntelliJ IDEA at work and I like very much its auto-completion feature (much better than that of Visual Studio). I like it and use it so much that I often find myself hitting control+space in almost any type text editor.
At one point, I said to myself : why not exporting the concept to a text editor and enable auto-completion for normal text (not just code). This is why I coded the following class (and later completely forgot about it until now).
It requires a lexicon file containing the words subject to auto-completion. You can easily modify it and pass a String[].
Hope it'll help you.import javax.swing.*;

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){
                    //var ID = form1.userIDs.selectedIndex;
                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">
                    <option>Select a User</option>
                    <option value="1">User 1</option>
                    <option value="2">User 2</option>
                    <option value="3">User 3</option>
                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>
     </body>
</html>
//PAGE TO RETRIEVE THE USERNAME
<?php
if(isset($_GET['userID'])
     $userID = $_GET['userID'];
     echo $userID;
     die;

How do I make my form (list/menu) items open in the same window (self).

Hello, the kind, brilliant people on this forum have always been able to help me in the past, so I thought I'd give it a try today. Items in a form (list/menu) that I've created are opening in a blank window (pop-up) when clicked. I would like them to open in "self" mode so that pop up blockers on various computers don't become a challenge for site visitors. Can anyone please tell me how I could make that adjustment? I selected the entire form "red dotted line" around the list and changed the "target" in the properties menu to "self". Then I selected everything on the page and still not correct. I am inserting the code below. Any assistance to get me on the right track would be GREATLY appreciated!! BTW I also made the form a library item (just in case that fact is needed). Also if you need to see the actual link it is http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/index.html. The "I WANT TO" list is the part I'm referring to.
CODE BELOW:
<form action="" method="post" name="form1" target="_self" class="style26" id="form1">

Looks like it still isn't working. When I removed those items the drop down menu stopped working as well. I went ahead and posted yours as the correct answer. I'm convinced it's my skill level. i'm gonna do some javascript searches to see where the js code should go, it's very confusing to me. Here is that code in case anything sticks out to you or anyone else.

Switch List Menu in G/L & Vendor Line Item Display

Hi Dear All Experts,
I've 2 problems.
The first one is in the Vendor line item display program.
copied RFITEMAP and create custom program and then I create new structure (like FAGLPOSX) to show extra fields. (eg. Vendor, User)
New extra fields are shown when i execute but if I click switch menu from the setting menu, it is shown by the old fields not including new fields.
The second one is in the GL Line Item display program.
Even the Switch List menu is enable in the Vendor Line Item display custom program without changing anything for gui status, the switch list menu in my new custom program is disable.(copied from fagl_account_items_gl).
Thks all in advance..
TRA

the second question is now solved.
Include ZFAGL_ACCOUNT_ITEMS_DEF (C_REPID_GL LIKE SY-REPID VALUE 'FAGL_ACCOUNT_ITEMS_GL') I put custom program name in this field.
When I changed to std program name, the switch list menu is enable..
Only the first question is left..
Please let me know is there any way to solve...
Best Regards
TRA

How to change a list/menu to a text field when 'Other' is chosen?

Hi there. I've been trying to solve this for a week now and I have depleted all my resources, that is why I'm here. I even went to jquery but nothing works and I think I was over-complicating this way too much.
In short: I have a contact form, which have a list/menu with validation, and one of the options of that list/menu is "other". What I want is that when the user select "other" automatically change to a text field in order to let the user put his custom color. This is what I have:
<form method="post" action="process.php">
<span id="spryselect1">
<label for="colors"></label>
<select name="colors" id="colors">
<option selected="option1">Blue.</option>
<option value="option2">White</option>
<option value="option3">Red</option>
<option value="other">other</option>
</select>
<span class="selectRequiredMsg">Please select a colour.</span></span>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
I know now that the approach is to show/hide a separate textbox besides the other... well. I don't know how to implement that, I think I really need your help guys. I'm completely frustrated.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the following

List/Menu (multiple selected) insert into MySQL

I have been building a feedback form and I am running into a
issue that when I place a list/menu that allows multiple selections
when I submit my form in my MySQL database it collected the
information but only on the last multiple selection.
For example, this is what my list/menu looks like.
<select name="occasion" size="5" multiple="MULTIPLE"
id="occasion">
<option value="Spur of the moment,">Spur of the
moment</option>
<option value="Family dinner">Family
dinner</option>
<option value="Special occasion (i.e.
birthday)">Special occasion (i.e. birthday)</option>
<option value="Office get together">Office get
together</option>
<option value="Romantic dinner">Romantic
dinner</option>
<option value="Night out with friends">Night out with
friends</option>
<option value="Business meeting">Business
meeting</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
</select>
And my MySQL database I have it set up as...
Field Type
occasion mediumtext
I do not know why I cannot have more than one selection
inputed into my field, what must I do to correct this? Everything
works perfectly expect the multi selected list/menu. I want to
place all that is selected in the list/menu in that one database
field called occasion.

Nope. An E_NOTICE error won't terminate the script, but
shouldn't happen
nevertheless. While developing, the error_reporting directive
should be
set to E_ALL|E_STRICT and _all_ reported problems should be
solved. It's
not only better coding style, but also helps to prevent real
errors. In
this particular case it was just a guess, because it was only
a part of
the code. But using an uninitialized variable with a '.='
operator for
example would lead to a notice, which should be fixed.

Yes, something like that.

All are correct and won't be deprecated. IMHO it's more or
less just
personal preference. It also depends on the used editor and
its syntax
highlighting capabilities. For example I use Eclipse/PDT for
all my PHP
scripts, which can also highlight variables inside a string.
But if the
above is your preferred way, there's nothing really wrong
with it.
Just some additional thoughts:
Personally I prefer as less escaping and concatenating as
possible,
because such a mixture of single quotes, double quotes, dots
and
sometimes even escaped quote signs (for example when printing
HTML)
_really_ confuses me. I like to keep my code clean and
readable.
Something like this:
print "<img src=\"".$someVar."\" ...>\n";
not only hurts my eye, it is also quite error-prone. It's
easy to miss a
quote or a backslash and get a parse error back, especially
in editors
with limited syntax highlighting (or none at all). So I would
prefer
print "<img src='$someVar' ...>\n";
or even
printf("<img src='%s' ...>\n", $someVar);
When it comes to performance issues, of course there's a
difference
between the various methods. But for me they don't really
matter. In
practice you usually won't notice any difference between an
echo, a
print or a printf() call for example, as long as you don't
call them
a million times in a loop.
So I always just use the method that leads to the most
readable code.
In many cases, especially when a lot of variables or
expressions are
involved, (s)printf() wins. Not for performance, but for
readability.
But as said - personal preference. YMMV.

Please help! How can I validate Radio Buttons and List Menu with PHP.

Hello everyone, I have been learning PHP step by step and
making little projects.
The point is I find it easy to learn by doing "practical
projects."
I have been reading the David Powers's Book on PHP Solutions
and it's really great, however there is nothing mentioned regarding
Validating Radio buttons. I know the book cannot cover every aspect
of PHP and maybe someone in here can help.
I have been learning how to process HTML forms with PHP.
The problem is every book or tutorial I have read or
encountered fall short on validation.
I'm wondering how I can learn to validate Radio Buttons and
Select List Menu.
I have managed to create validation for all other fields but
have no clue as to how I can get validation for Radio Buttons and
List Menu.
I would also like an error message echoed when the user does
not click a button or make a selection and try to submit the form.
I would appreciate any help.
Patrick

It's not that default value is "None." In fact it's not. It
will only be
"none" when the form is submitted.
Also if your submit button is names 'send' then
$_POST['send'] will only be
set if the form was submitted.
Make sure you didn't hit the refresh button on your browser
which usually
reposts the information. Also make sure you did not reach the
form from
another form with the same button names.
Otherwise paste the snippet.
Also you can check what fields are set in the post array by
adding this to
the top of (or anywhere on) your page:
print_r($_POST);

Format for certain columns in list view control

I have a list view control and I would like to format the alignment for certain columns. I heard that the only way you can do this is by formatting the cells in excel. I tried this with no success. Can someone please give me step by step instructions on how to achieve this. I am currently allowing Xcelsius to handle my formatting for money. Is it possible to have Xcelsius handle the money formatting and have excel handle the alignment formatting. I am open to whatever works at this point. Also I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,1,66).
Much Thx

Hi,
In list view control you can format the entire row only, not a certain column.
Go to property>Appearance>Text Tab>select Header>Format selected text->select the format.
For width change: Property> Layout Tab>check custom column width the click the icon and enter width in pixel.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have a suggestion:
Design your page into tables and rows.
Divide each row into columns.Example:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<hbj:hoverMenu
id="hover1"
standAlone="true">
<hbj:hoverMenuItem
    id="1"
    text="Size"
    />
</hbj:hoverMenu>
</td>
<td>
<hbj:hoverMenu
id="hover2"
standAlone="true">
<hbj:hoverMenuItem
    id="1"
    text="Size"
    />
</hbj:hoverMenu>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
If you want to align the sub menu accordingly,you can again divide each row of the table into a subtable with rows and columns.
Hope this helps.

Harish
