Multiple combo boxes cause application freeze

I have an application that uses 3 combo boxes, they appear if
the remoting service populates them.
The actionscript is very simple, I only add items, removeall,
and sort them by their label.
If I use old MX combo box, my application works perfectly.
If I use the Version 2 components, the application works when
I select one of the combo boxes, but the second I touch the second
combo box, it locks up the application and I get the message that a
script is running, should I abort...
I am using Flash 8 and want to stick with all V2 components,
but...
anybody experience this issue? I have a lot of other V2
components on the application, all work, except this combobox
issue.
thanks
Josh

You can create a JavaScript array of the items and values to be set into the combo boxes and then use Acrobat's JavaScript's ''setItems()' method to load the fields.
Get various fields (combo or list) and set items in the list using various techniques. 
var l = this.getField("ListBox");
l.setItems(["One", "Two", "Three"]);
var c = this.getField("StateBox");
c.setItems([["California", "CA"],["Massachusetts", "MA"],
["Arizona", "AZ"]]);
var c = this.getField("NumberBox");
c.setItems(["1", 2, 3, ["PI", Math.PI]]);

  • Excel 2010 Dialog Boxes Hidden behind Application causing application freezing

    Recently upgraded to Office 2010 (32bit) /Windows 7.  Have hundreds of users that we support and so far most have upgraded.  Noticed with some users though - not all - just a small percentage, when they click SaveAs in Excel 2010, the application
    freezes.  On closer scrutiny we realized what was happening was the SaveAs dialog box was BEHIND the main Excel window.  The only way to restore it is to click on the tab from the Taskbar or minimize all the windows to FIND the SaveAs Dialog box. 
    Understandably this is causing these users stress and inconvenience.  It is very unproductive and a nuisance to say the least.  The only other variable here is that all these users have multiple monitors, usually 2-4.  But for some, this happens
    in their main monitor and/or the monitor that Excel is opened in and which has the focus.  Even more strange is that this does not occur to everyone, just a handful of users so far who have reported the issue.  We have also noted it happens
    with other dialog boxes as well, not just the SaveAs so it seems generic in that sense.
    The other item with this issue is that it's not persistent.  Users have reported it's sporadic and comes and goes.
    Is this a bug? 
    Any feedback greatly appreciated.

  • Powershell Unique Selections for Multiple Combo Boxes

    I am currently working on a powershell script that will use 4 combo box controls. I would like for them to all use the same data source whether it be an array or just a .txt file. I would like for each selection to be unique so that no 2 combo boxes can
    have the same item selected. Is there a way to hide the item selected in the data source so the other combo boxes do not even have the option to select it and then when the user changes the item in one of the combo boxes the item is available again? 

    What I am looking do do is have a list of values (T1111,T1112,T1113,T1114) to be selected from by 4 combo boxes. Each value can only be selected once so if one combo box picks T1111 the other 3 do not have that option in its selection. So far I reload the
    combo boxes ever time a selection is made and remove the option from the array, but I was looking to see if there is a better way. As it currently stands, getting distinct values isn't working.
    Code snippet to remove item from array:
    function Get-DataSource
    $array = @("T1111", "T1112", "T1113", "T1114")
    $combo1 = $combobox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
    $combo2 = $combobox2.SelectedItem.ToString()
    $array = $array | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_ -ne $combo1 }
    $array = $array | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_ -ne $combo2 }
    return $array

  • Linking multiple combo boxes

    Hello,
    I need some help with something that I am having trouble wrapping my head around. I am in the midst of creating some forms for our office that were originally MS Word files that have since been converted to PDF's. On these forms (which are now compiled into one PDF) there is a field for a name and one fore a licence number. What I would like to do (if possible) is have a drop down combo box with the pilots name. Once the name has been selected, it automatically populates the pilots name and licence number on the subsequent forms.
    Is this possible and if so, does someone have a tutorial on how to do this? I have not had much luck looking online but thought perhaps someone on here may have tired something similar before.
    Thanks.
    Chris

    Yes it's possible. For some help, check out: http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle/
    There is a part 2 to this article that may help as well.

  • Problem w/"combo boxes" cause the user to double click for the dropdown menu, but not for everyone.

    I have created a form with Adobe Acrobad Pro 9.
    There are a few "drop-down" boxes for people to choose options from.  I created them with the "Combo box" option.  They work perfectly fine on my laptop (Lenovo T500 windows 7, with all updates up to date.)  I sent the file to another exact same computer and that's when the problem came up.  When you click on the drop-down, the list will quickly appear and then disappear.  Then if you click it again it will stay open so you can choose your option.  However this only happens on "some" computers but not everyone's.  I emailed the exact same form out to other people in my office and they do not have any problems with the form.  There is no need to double click the drop down, it will just open up properly for them.
    Has anyone come across this? And if so, is there maybe a setting on these specific laptops that is preventing the "combo box" to not work properly?  I need to use this specific laptop as a "Kiosk" like a "check out" station for users to fill out the form to check out equipment.  I will be running in Reader so people can not make changes to the form.  (both the Acrobat Pro 9 version and the (most up to date) Reader version of the PDF form does the same "double-click" problem)  I need a date drop down and an equipment type drop down.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
    Thanks !

    I've got this kind of problem with a form of mine (designed with LCD) :
    - combo boxes with font-color changing event handlers on :enter
    - on Acrobat 9 Pro : no problem
    - on Reader 8.3 :
          - first click seems to execute the event handler but stops the combo's opening
          - second click does open the combo
    Do you have event handlers on combo:enter ?
    Could the difference between comps where it works and comps where it doesn't be Acrobat's version ?

  • Multiple combo boxes

    Hi all,
    New to this forum. Hoping someone might be able to help or
    point me in the right direction. I`m trying to use three combo
    boxes, with each combination of choices taking the user to a
    different frame. Is this possible? Any hints of where to start?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply. I have now got as far as being able to
    tell which item has been selected from two combo boxes, but can`t
    seem to use them outside of this function. I tried declaring as
    global variables but still can`t get it to work.
    Heres my code:
    var myComboBox1:mx.controls.ComboBox;
    myComboBox1.removeAll();
    myComboBox1.addItem("--Choose--", "Choose");
    myComboBox1.addItem("one", "1");
    myComboBox1.addItem("ten", "10");
    myComboBox1.addItem("twenty", "20")
    myComboBox2.removeAll();
    myComboBox2.addItem("--Choose--", "Choose");
    myComboBox2.addItem("a", "a1");
    myComboBox2.addItem("b", "b10");
    myComboBox2.addItem("c", "c20")
    //Check taking the correct value from combo box 1
    myComboBox1.addEventListener("change", doChange1);
    function doChange1 (evt1){
    trace ("Combo box 1 " + evt1.target.value);
    _global.varResult_1=evt1.target.value
    //Check taking the correct value from combo box 2
    myComboBox2.addEventListener("change", doChange2);
    function doChange2 (evt2){
    trace ("Combo box 2 " + evt2.target.value);
    varResult_2=evt2.target.value
    //Try to choose which frame to go to depending on both combo
    boxes
    function checkResult(){
    //varResult_1=myComboBox1.value
    //varResult_2=myComboBox2.value
    if((_global.varResult_1==10)&(_global.varResult_2==b10)){
    gotoAndStop(10)
    function doChange(evt1) {
    trace("Value changed to 1" + _global.varResult_1);
    trace("Value changed to 2" + evt2.target.value);
    checkResult()
    Can anyone give me any hints of where I am going wrong or
    where to look for help?
    Thanks again

  • Dealing with multiple combo boxes.

    Hi all,
    Yesterday I started a thread on the topic of using a main JComboBox, that when you select one of its items, 2 sub combo boxe's models are changed. Michael_Dunn helped me on this and gave me a great example. However, I don't want to have the 2nd combo box change the contents of the 3rd. I'd like the 1st combo box to control both the 2nd and the third. I modified his code a bit to make this true. However, when you select an item on the 1st box, and then change the item on either the 2nd or 3rd box, it sets the selection to both the 2nd and 3rd box. I'd like these boxes to behave normally, without one changing the other, except for the 1st boxe's control. This sounds a bit confusing the way I explain it, so just check out the code and you'll see what I mean. Also, here's the link to my previous thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=702577 Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • Strange Combo Box CPU Usage

    I've been having some odd behaviour with combo box behaviour in LV8.2.  When the mouse is hovering over the combo box and the down key on the keyboard is pressed, the CPU usage goes to 100%.  Moving the mouse off of the combo box causes the CPU usage to drop. 
    Does anyone have any insight as to why this is happening or, hopefully, how this can be fixed?
    thanks,

    oh, i've tried this on two PCs as well, one with dual cores.  One the dual core machine one of the cores goes to 100% (giving a total usage of 50% as ravens fan noticed).  One the single core the CPU goes to 100%
    Actually what was kind of odd about mine was that the usage was 50%, but the 2 windows showing each core seemed to mirror each other and were both showing about 50% as well.  Not sure what that means.

  • Help with linking combo boxes so that some options are made unavailable

    Hello!
    I'm having trouble setting up an interactive PDF form with multiple combo boxes.
    I have designed an interactive PDF form in InDesign CS6 but am doing the final preparation and formatting in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
    First of all, I am not sure if I should be using combo boxes or list boxes, but the combo box seemd to look better after I export the PDF and also left the field blank, ready for selection from the drop-down menu.
    Basically I have a list of drop-down lists, but not all combinations are compatible. For example, after maing "Selection 1" in "Combo box 1", I need only "Selection 1", "2", and "3" [out of the total 5] to be available in "Combo box 2".
    I need to be able to apply this algorhythm to the next few combo boxes as well.
    Moreover, I would need some of the checkboxes disabled [the user won't be able to check them at all]when I make a certain selection in some of the combo boxes.
    Needless to say, I don't know any Java, coding or making calculations in LiveCycle Designer, so I don't even know where to begin.
    I have attached a screen grab of my form and what I want to achieve.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    If it is static data, I would suggest you to cache it rather than having it in each of the user session. You can have configuration/code to refresh when needed. Please look at any available caching frameworks (EhCache, OSCache etc...)

  • Multiple lines in a combo box

    Hello,
        I am attempting to create a pdf file for the purposes of filling in information and then printing it out.  I have very limited skill with Acrobat 8, basically what I've learned myself, and I run into an issue with my combo boxes.  Some of the sentences I have put into the boxes are too long and I have not been able to figure out how to wrap the text, or make it use multiple lines.  I need all of my data to show.  Can someone explain, in simple terms if possible, how this can be accomplished, or provide an alternative.  I have read several posts but have not been able to work out where to start with them.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    I've been reading through more forums and I think what you suggested was to have shorter options in the combo box that, when selected, generate the full length sentence into a text field.  Is that the basic concept?  Here is one of the sentences that is too large for my combo box:
    5b. Use Mendel's Law to evaluate monohybrid Punnett Squares for complete dominance, incomplete dominance, codominance, sex-linked, and multiple alleles. (DOK 2)
    So I could set up a combo box with 5b in this case.  I could then write script in the combo box properties that would cause the sentence to be generated into a text field located beside the combo box.  If this is the case I would have to write out script for each one of the number/letter combinations correct? 
    Just for some background info, I'm attempting to create a lesson plan template (I'm a teacher) that has all the necessary information listed so that I don't have to type it all out every time I do a lesson plan.

    Works fine here:
    Actually, I would argue that this is a bug in the editor, which should ingnore duplicate hypens if they have a special value.
