Lost values in DropDown List

Hello Experts!
I created a dynamic interactive form with a dynamic table. This table has two buttons. One to add a new row and one to delete
the selected row. The row has field called EAN. This field is formatted as dropdown list. I created i the interface of the form a table and bind the table to this dropdown list field. With my print program i fill the table, generate my form and download it on my pc.
Now my problem. After download, i open my form and the first row of my table has the first value as content in the field.
Every thing is right. But if a create a new row, the field is empty. This is also correct. But if i will select a new value from my dropdown list, one value is missing and i got two new blank values in my dropdown list. This runs so on if i create a new row.
I don´t understand why i lost my values in the dropdown list, when i create a new row.
I hope anybody of you knows the solution for that.
For your information, here is my coding to add the new row:
data.#subform[0].FORM.DATA.DATA_ITEMS.I_DATA.STRUC.Teilformular1.Schaltfläche1::click - (JavaScript, client)
// xfa.host.print(1, "0", (xfa.host.numPages -1).toString(), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
var anInstanceManager = this.parent.parent.instanceManager;
var newInstance = anInstanceManager.addInstance(1);
var aToIndex = this.parent.parent.index + 1;
var aFromIndex = newInstance.index;
anInstanceManager.moveInstance(aFromIndex, aToIndex);}

Hi Sanoosh!
Thanks for your advice!
I already bound the field for the dropdown list to a different node than the datatable.
So that is also a fact that i don´t understand. When i have a different data node, why
is it possible to fill or overwrite data from a different data node!
Regards!

Hi,
Expand the Attribute Period_type and double click on its GET_V method.
You will find following code line :
lr_ddlb->set_selection_table( me->job_wizard ).
Double click on the Set_selection_table method to open the method code.
You will find a LOOP.. ENDLOOP there. Here,to remove the values, comment out this LOOP- ENDLOOP.
and add following lines
         ls_ddlb-key   = 'Y'.
        ls_ddlb-value = 'Yearly'.
        APPEND ls_ddlb TO me->ddlb.

How to set a default value in dropdown list in Wendynpro ABAP? Help!

Hi Experts,
 I have Webdynpro for ABAP application that shows a DropdownwithKey UI element.
1. I am able to populate the dropdown list. But by default the list is not showing any value. Only when I select a value from the list then it shows it.
So how to set the default value to the first value in the list? Any code sample will be really helpfull.
I have written the following code:
method WDDOINIT .
DATA:
 node_category TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
node_category = WD_CONTEXT->GET_NODE_INFO( ).
node_category = node_category->GET_CHILD_NODE( 'CATEGORY' ).
data: LT_VALUESET type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
 L_VALUE type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
L_VALUE-VALUE = 'V1'.
L_VALUE-TEXT = 'yesterday'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
L_VALUE-VALUE = 'V2'.
L_VALUE-TEXT = 'today'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
L_VALUE-VALUE = 'V3'.
L_VALUE-TEXT = 'tomorrow'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
node_category->SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SET(
 NAME = 'CAT_VALUE'
 VALUE_SET = LT_VALUESET ).
endmethod.
Note that: I am using webdynpro for ABAP.
Thanks
Gopal

I am not sure how it works in Web Dynpro for ABAP, but in Web Dynpro for Java to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context
like
wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<defalut value>)
This generally done in Initialization method of the controller.

Remove default value from dropdown list

I am currently working with Acrobat XI Pro version. I want to know whether it is possible to remove the default value from a dropdown list.
When the list has less than 4 items, it is possible to deselect the default value by pressing the whitespace below. However, when there are more items, this is not possible anymore.
I have read that you should include a whitespace as item in the item list, however, then you will see an empty list item when people are working with the pdf which is not preferable.
So, does anyone know how to remove the default value from a dropdown list?
Thanks!

Ok, I found a perfect workaround for my problem using FormsCentral for Acrobat. Here is what you should do:
Step 1:
-   Open FormsCentral
-   Create New Form (Choose Blank Form)
-   Click on the dropdown icon to create a new dropdown
-   Fill in the list items by clicking on the edit (you also can add a label if you want)
-   Click: File > Save as PDF Form...
Step 2:
-   Open the saved PDF (you now see a blank pdf with a dropdown menu)
-   Click: Tools > Forms > Edit Form (when a popup shows that you should save a copy of the document in order to make changes, press "Save as a copy" and open the pdf copy file with Acrobat)
-   Select the dropdown, copy the dropdown and paste it in the desired document
Now you have a dropdown menu without a default choice. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the items in the dropdown, because a default choice will be chosen and you have to use the pdf copy file again. As long as you don't click on a list item, it doesn't choose a default choice.
It is not a perfect solution, but it works for me.
Good luck and thanks!

Select value from dropdown list

hi All,
we have a bsp application MVC based, we have a dropdown list, what we require is when user selects an entry from drop down list and presses a button, we want to select that value from drop down list and then pass it to the method that will be called when button is pressed event..
I want to know two things
1. How do i get the selected value from dropdown ?
2. hw can i retain it to send it to method call in handle_event bit
thank you all

Hi,
If your application is stateless you have to capture the selected value in do_handle_data and assign it to the controller class attribute and later use this value in do_handle_event directly.
If your application is stateful, on your dropdownlist htmlb tag click F1 you can read the documentation which also shows how to capture the value of dropdownlist in do_handle_event. In the same documentation you can even find few samples provided and check those samples in your system.
Hope this helps.

Disabling/greying out some values in dropdown list

Hi All -
I have a dropdown select list (LOV from a table) and it lists all the employees and contractors from a table.
How do I greyout/disable contractors only i.e. user shouldn't be able to select the contractor from the list but it should be displayed in the dropdown list.
I am using ApEx 3.2 version.
Please share your expertise.
-Seenu

I wasn't going to comment first, but next time search the forums before posting a question and then when it is necessary to post, please give people adequate time to respond. Oracle's forums were having technical problems which prevented me from posting earlier -- not that a 4 hour turn around is bad for free advice anyway....
My original planned response:
Patrick's response in this thread helped me:
Select List With Heading
I spiced it up a bit by actually changing the color of the option within the select list...
I added
<style>
.graySelect
color: gray;
font-size: 12px;
</style>
to the HTML Header and
modified Patrick's query by using something similar to (took my solution and put it in his example):
, JOB_ID||DECODE(JOB_ID, 'AC_MGR', '" class="graySelect" disabled="disabled') AS R
But you need to account for differences in browsers...
1) firefox (version 3 from my testing) will not let you select the disabled/grayed out option...
2) internet explorer (version 6 from my testing) WILL let you select the disabled option...it actually then sends in a NULL value for that HTTP POST parameter...so as patrick says you will need to have a page item validation to make sure they didn't submit a gray option (and return an error if they did)...
good luck!

Different color for values in dropdown list

Hi All,
I have a dropdown list, is it possible individually color the values in the list like first and third green 2 and 5th values blue etc.
Thanks

Hi,
the f:selectItem component does not have a style class or inline style property. Thus, I don't see how this can be done unless you write a custom solution like outlined here

Defaulting value of Dropdown List to the first value of a BI Query

Hi,
In my VC application I have a form containing a dropdown list to be used as selection criteria for other data. The dropdown list is dynamically populated by a BI Query. When I run the application, the dropdown list is correctly populated with the values returned by the linked query. However, on initial load of the iView, the default value of the dropdown list is blank. The requirement is for the first item returned by the linked query to display as the default value.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to achieve this requirement.
Thank you,
Mustafa Bensan.

Hi Mustafa,
I checked your requirement but it is not possible to display first value as default value for a drop down list because the list will be generate when you click the drop down list. You can use a 'list box' instead of drop down list.

Calculating dynamic values from dropdown lists

Hi all, here's the noob question of the day
I'm creating an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and I'm totally stuck at tax calculations:
for each product you're able to choose between two tax percentages from a dropdown list and, at the end of the form, I want to show a total amount of each tax.
product
qty
unit price
vat
net price
red shoes pack
2
20$
4%
40$
black shoes pack
1
25$
4%
25$
white umbrella
1
10$
7%
10$
total net price
75$
+ TAX 4%
2.60$
+ TAX 7%
0.70$
Total
78.30$
How can I set the + TAX 4% and + TAX 7% fields to grab their respective product rows?
Sorry for my bad english.. I hope you get the question!

You woudl have to look at each row inside of a for loop and then determine if that row had 4% or 7% tax. Then you coudl keep a running total of the tax for you calcultions such that when the for loop ended you would have the 4 and 7% totals calculated.
Make sense?

How to Add values to dropdown list in runtime

Hi All
I wanted to add the items to the dropdown list in the plugin.
The SDK Example WriteFishPrice shows the items are hard coded in the .fr file.
i am looking for a similar concept, but not adding the items in the .fr file, i wanted to add the items in the .cpp or .h files and add the items to the dropdownlist.
DECLARE_PMID(kWidgetIDSpace, kWFPDropDownListWidgetID, kWFPPrefix + 2)
The declaration is done in WFPID.h file
#define kWFPDropDownItem_1Key kWFPStringPrefix "kWFPDropDownItem_1Key"
defining the string is done in WFPID.h
I wanted to add the items in the same header file, is there any way that i can add the items in the header files instead of adding in .fr file
Please guide me
Thank you
-Srinivas

Hope this will help you a bit with both threads ; ) I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with defining the strings in an header or cpp file and not in the fr file(s). Usually you sort of predefine strings in the main fr file and then give a "final" translation definition for each string in the corrosponding language file. If you don't need or want to translate you can define string constants almost wherever you like and add them at runtime e.g. during dialog initialization. In this case you'd have to make each string not to be translateable with PMString.SetTranslatable(kFalse). If you want to add items to a listbox or text edit during runtime you just have to get the interfaces and call their methods. Below is a small example taken from a dialog with a dropdown listbox, a text edit field and a button widget. In the DialogObserver I implemented the Update function to the following functionality: - when the button (Insert Button) is pressed the content of the edit field is read and inserted into the listbox - when something in the listbox is selected, the selection is shown/inserted into the text field void VSPDialogObserver::Update ( const ClassID& theChange, ISubject* theSubject, const PMIID& protocol, void* changedBy ) { // Call the base class Update function so that default behavior will still occur (OK and Cancel buttons, etc.). CDialogObserver::Update(theChange, theSubject, protocol, changedBy); do { InterfacePtr<IControlView> controlView(theSubject, UseDefaultIID()); ASSERT(controlView); if(!controlView) break; InterfacePtr<IDialogController> dialogCtrl(this, UseDefaultIID()); if (!dialogCtrl) break; InterfacePtr<IPanelControlData> panelControlData(this, UseDefaultIID()); if (!panelControlData) break; //get currently selected/active widget WidgetID theSelectedWidget = controlView->GetWidgetID(); // is it the drop down list? if (theSelectedWidget== kVSPDropDownWidgetID) { TRACE("ListBoxAction"); //insert selected string into edit field PMString strSelection = dialogCtrl->GetTextControlData(kVSPDropDownWidgetID); strSelection.SetTranslatable(kFalse); dialogCtrl->SetTextControlData(kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID, strSelection); break; } // ist it the text edit field? if (theSelectedWidget == kVSPInsertButtonWidgetID && theChange == kTrueStateMessage) { TRACE("Insert Button pressed"); IControlView* listView = panelControlData->FindWidget(kVSPDropDownWidgetID); InterfacePtr<IStringListControlData> listControlData(listView, UseDefaultIID()); //Insert the string into listbox PMString strText = dialogCtrl->GetTextControlData(kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID); // obviously there can't be a translation for text entered by user strText.SetTranslatable(kFalse); listControlData->AddString(strText,kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID); //"clear" the text edit field dialogCtrl->SetTextControlData(kVSPTopEditBoxWidgetID, ""); break; } } while (kFalse); }
