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.

How to display multiple lines in a text box defined in steploop.

Hi,
I have a requirement to display data ( which is dynamic in nature. I determine data type,length etc dynamically) in a table format. I am using step loop for the same. I am facing a problem. Some field can be as long as 256 char long. Is there any way to display multiple lines in text box defined in a step loop so that I can display the complete string as one entity.
I can't use custom control as custom control can't be defined in a step loop or table controlI would really appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Hello Sanjeev
Perhaps it is possible to use a <b>mixed strategy</b> consisting of a classical table control (or, even better, an ALV grid list) where you display the first 250 character of the data and next to the table control you place a simple textedit control. When the user selects one of the text fragments in the table control the entire text will be displayed in the textedit control.

I need help adding a blank line to a Combo Box

I am recieving data from a database and displaying that in a
combo box with coldfusion/flash. The problem is I cannot figure out
how to add a blank line in flash so there is not a selected value
by default. If I do this:
DataGlue.bindFormatStrings(box1, getProcessIFC_re.result,
"#label#", "#data#");
Then there is a value by default...the first record in the
query is selected. I tried this:
box1.addItemAt(0, {data:"0", label:""});
box1.selectedIndex = 0;
That works but put an "undefined "label as the top and
selected value.
So how can I add a blank value or other value of my choice
that is not labeled "undefined"?
Thanks for any help

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.

How to make an editable bulleted list with multiple lines and custom bullets?

How do I create an editable bulleted list in Acrobat Pro? I've figured out how to add text fields with multiple lines, and how to add a list box, but I don't see the check box for multiple lines in the list box or how to add bullet points. Can someone please give me step by step instructions? Also is it possible to use custom bullet points?

Is it a text field or a list box field? The two are not the same...
The bullets are something that the user will have to enter manually (into a text field, they can only select values in a list-box).
They can use any unicode character, or special characters if the font used for that field allows for it. You can't use images for the bullets, if that's what you mean.

}I have two arrays: one called "val" which is an array of string arrays that you use to populate a JComboBox, and the other one is called "usr_val" that holds strings and is used to set the JComboBox default values. You want to change the default value when the selected item in the corresponding JComboBox has changed. To manage your arrays and JComboBoxes, you have
one counter "i" which seems to count the arrays of string arrays and the array with the default strings and one counter "_combobox_count" which counts the JComboBoxes that have been genererated with the help of these arrays. Obviously, the arrays could be used to generate a different JComponent as well, in which case "i" and "_combobox_count" will have different values. Both "i" and "_combobox_count" are clearly available within the if-block, so you don�t need any extra tricks to access them. What happens if you directly access "i" or "_combobox_count" from within the "itemStateChanged"-method?

Publishing a text box to be multiple lines of text in SharePoint Form Library

Hello
I have some text boxes on an InfoPath form which is then published to a SharePoint form library. However, when the form creates columns in the form library, some of the text boxes are being published as Single Line of Text which then cuts off some of the
text as users can type more the 255 characters in the text box.
My question is how can I make sure that the form publishes the field as a multiple line of text instead? Some of the boxes did this by default but there are others that did not and I am missing text on them.
Thanks

When you add the control to the form, choose the Multi Line of text option instead of the single line of text option, if you are unsure, when you add the control to the form, right click it and select properties, from here you can change the data type
from single line of text to multi line of text.

Could only create a one-liners for this editable combo box, is there a way to create a multi-line like the other fields?

Nope. But you can set up a multiline text field that gets populated with the complete text you want when an item is selected from a combo box.The combo box items might be abbreviated or coded versions of the complete text you want to display.

I 'll explain the requirement:
I have three tables, for example employee, department and empDept table which contains empId and DeptId. In my jsp, while inserting employee i need to give all existing departments in combo with multiselect option. When user press submit, i need to insert one record in employee, and records in empDept with new empId and all selected Department ids. empId is dbsequence generation.
(I did this through LOV mode of list binding editor. Even i select multiple values in JSP, its inserting only first selected record in to empDept table.)
