Multiple Selection in Drop Dowm List

Hi
I'm developing an application in VC 7.0.I have drop-down lists as input fields in my screens. Is it possible to do multiple selection in the drop down list?..Can i make the user select more than one input from the drop down list?.. should i do this through code or is there any option in the property of UI element?.. Kindly give me your suggestions!!
Thanks in advance,
Kavitha.

Hey guys,
There's multiple ways to do this.
1. Use Listbox Element from Visual Composer - This can be done by writing formulas and concatenating multiple entries into a single submit from the listbox. To do this you have to use <Row> tags in your formulas
(ie) I
IF(@SIGNIFICANCE==ALL,0KEY/><Row SIG=0STD,@SIGNIFICANCE)
This will create multiple rows to pass multiple values over from a listbox. I'll publish a how-to guide on this when I have time to write out the details with screenshots.
2. The other option is use the listbox from web application designer within VC. I already wrote a guide on this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5a40f2f7-0c01-0010-d69f-c6317c5165cd
There is a section in here on listbox.

Multiple selection from drop down : NWDS7.0 SPS18

Hi Team,
How can achieve multiple selection from drop down? I am working on NWDS7.0 SPS18. I have known the concept of item list box... is that's the only option?.
Is it possible to make it as filter option that we have in our Microsoft excel.

Hi,
Create a node with cardinality 0-n and selection property set to 0-n
Create a table UI element and bind this node as a datasource to this table.
Set the selection mode property of this table as auto or multi
Once this is done, populate the node with some data elements.
When you run the application, you will be able to select multiple rows from the table.
To get the selected rows, use below code on the action of some button
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Selected rows are");
     int n = wdContext.nodeEmployeeData().size();//size of node binded with table
     int leadSelected = wdContext.nodeEmployeeData().getLeadSelection();
     for (int i = n - 1; i >= 0; --i)
          if (wdContext.nodeEmployeeData().isMultiSelected(i) || leadSelected == i )
               IEmployeeDataElement employeeDataElement = wdContext.nodeEmployeeData().getEmployeeDataElementAt(i);
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("ID: "+employeeDataElement.getID()+"Name: "+employeeDataElement.getName());
For adding sorting and filtering functionality to the table follow the article

Web UI - Value not getting selected from drop down list .

Hi All ,
I am facing a problem in one of the fields which is enhanced with a drop down functionality .
I have created the GET_V_** method and also the GET_P_** method for the same .And finally I am able to see the values in the drop down list . But the problem is , when I am trying to select a value from the drop down no values are selected .
Can anyone plese help me in this as What has to be done .
I have taken references from few guides but I am not getting any clear idea of what has to be done .
Regards,
Ranjita

Hi Ranjita,
To trigger a round trip, you must have given the event name in GET_P method.
Same event handler would trigger.
Please put a break point in Event Handler in IMPL class, and in SET_attr method of the attribute in CN class and see if value is getting set properly or not. Final value that would be displayed on UI would be there in GET_attr method of CN class.
I hope it helps.
Thanks,
Rohit

How can I select from drop-down list and jumping to selected subform?

I using LC Designer ES2 vers 9. Developing XDP. How can I Select from a drop-down list the appropriate selected subform (jumping to the selected subform on the page)?
drop-down list...A (jump to subform1)
                         B (jump to subform2)
                         C (jump to subform3)
subform1
subform2
subform3
....end of form

Hi,
you cannot set focus on a subform but on a field, as only interactive objects can be focussed.
From a dropdowns exit event the script will look this way:
switch (this.rawValue) {
          case "A" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;
          case "B" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;

Prevent Identical Selection in Drop Down List in an Expanding Table

Hi All,
I have a 2x2 table in which the top row is a header row and the bottom row 'Row1'. Row1 Cell1 has two buttons in it, one to add a new Row1 using Javascript click instance script:
this.parent.parent.instanceManager.addInstance()
...and one to remove any Row1 using Javascript click instance script:
var rowNum = this.parent.parent.index;
this.parent.parent.instanceManager.removeInstance(rowNum);
Row1 Cell2 contains a datadropdown object. Basically, when a user adds an extra Row1, I need to prevent them from selecting a previously selected item from the dropdowndata list. I'm having trouble figuring it out because I'm trying to put together exit instance script (or should it be validate script?) that is trying to reference Row1[*]. In simpler situations where I have two fixed objects, I have just been doing this as a FormCalc exit script:
if (Object1 = Object2)
then xfa.host.messageBox("You can't select the same thing again")
and xfa.host.resetData("Object1")
endif
... which prevents the user from selecting something with the same rawvalue by alerting them, then clearing the field.
Hope this makes sense and that someone can help! Thanks in advance to all the adobe gurus out there

Hi,
Would it be possible to filter out the choices in the drop down list that have already been selected. If so you could try something like this JavaScript in the preOpen event of your drop down.
var dropDownItems = [ "abc", "def", "hij" ];
var rows = Table1.resolveNodes("Row1[*]");
for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
    var row = rows.item(i);
    if (!row.DropDownList1.isNull)
        dropDownItems = dropDownItems.filter(function(element) { return element !== row.DropDownList1.rawValue});
this.setItems(dropDownItems.join(","));
The first line initialises a variable with all the possible values and then we go though each row filtering out the ones already selected.
You will probably have to change the form object names to suit you form, but here is my sample to test the code, https://files.acrobat.com/preview/eb0256dc-af30-4f7c-9187-469ba84464a4

Not able to select in drop down list

We have an on line database for our school. I can move around in it fine but when I try to select an item from a drop down list nothing happens.
Any thoughts?

There are a couple things you can try:
1. Go to Settings > Safari > Advanced > Debug Console and turn it ON. Return to Safari and reload the web page. Tap the Debug Console banner to see any issues when loading the web site. Then try tapping the drop-down list (select element). Do any new issues appear in the Debug Console?
Don't be alarmed if there are a lot of items listed in the Debug Console. Most of the time they're harmless. You're looking for a JavaScript error message (as opposed to CSS or HTML) that might give a clue as to why the page doesn't work. Is there is a JavaScript message that corresponds to the broken drop-down list?
2. Launch OS X Safari. Open Preferences (Cmd-,). Click on Advanced tab. Check the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" checkbox. Open a new browser window (using Cmd-N). With the new browser window focused, select Develop > User Agent > Safari iOS 5.0.1 – iPad. (You can check that the setting is correct by loading http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/ and comparing it to the real iPad.) Then navigate to the same page with the inactive drop-down list. Does the same issue occur as on the iPad, or does the drop-down work?

Multiple Selection in Search Result List in PCUI

Hi,
Our requirement is to allow creation of new records in list view of the PCUI application CRMM_ACCOUNT. I'm using old floor plan CRM 4.0 to meet this requirement. But this is causing a problem. It's not allowing multi select in the search result list (Event INIT, Screen Element SRMS). If I change the screen element to SRME, it allows multiple selection (thru selection checkboxes) but does not allow creation of new records in list view.
Also, how to activate the multi-valued search on certain fields. I've already checked the "Multi-Value" check box for the relevant field.
Any help on this will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Vishal

Thanks ! it's helpful! But my requirement is a little bit different. (Sorry I didn't make it clear)
I created a table maintenance (SM30) for a table. The F4 Search help should be applied to a field of the table when a user creates a new entry. I hope it makes clear.
btw: I have awarded some points! Because it's also good to know some other ways:)

Multiple Selection not working on List Box Properties/Option Screen

When I select multiple selection on the List Box Properties/Options tab, I get no difference from the single selection default. It still highlights only the last of the multiple entries (like a single selection) and displays only the last entry. Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks for your help.

To select multiple items, you need to hold down the Ctrl key when clicking additional items.

Derived Column : for Lookup type column with 'Allow Multiple Selection' : True in sharepoint list

Hello,
I have one column where field type is Lookup but 'Allow Multiple Selection' is true in SharePoint List.
So, in this scenario data from the SharePoint list is being exported as below.
1;#Red;#3;#Blue;#4;#Black;#5;#Green
Now resultant text exported to SQL Table should be :
1,3,4,5
OR
Red,Blue,Black,Green
Either way it is fine. How can we get this using Derived Column and Data Conversion?
I am able to do this for single occurrence using below expression.
(DT_STR,100,1252)(SUBSTRING([BusinessUnit],FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)+1,LEN([BusinessUnit])-FINDSTRING([BusinessUnit],"#",1)))
Please suggest.
Thank you,
Mittal.

Your best bet would be to do this in sql using a string parsing udf as below

You can make it into procedure and call it from oledb command task.

Hi,
I'm using Crystal Report 11. I'm creating a parameter field that will allow me to select a specific data from one field in my database. When I use the "Select Expert" it only show me the first 500 records. How can I see the rest of the data?

There is a time limit of 5 seconds by default. All values fetched within 5 seconds will be displayed. If you want to increase the time limit or the number of records fetched then you will have to modify the registry keys as described in this KBase article.
