Over ride the drop-down value?

Hello,
I am developing an VISITOR Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)"
I have a bunch of drop-downs in my interactive form, done by dragging & dropiing the 'Drop-down list' object, at the end i binded it with some data source, working fine, say its COUNTRY list.
As soon as use opened the form, he saw the 'USA' prepopulated in the drop-down field, fine.
User dropped down the entries, he saw a couple, like USA, Canada, UK, Spain, fine.
But, now user want to enter / override this USA entry with his own value, like FRANCE, but, my form is not allowing, its behaving like a 'readOnly' field!
Pls. let me know how to over ride a entry of drop-down values, as per user wanting value?

Hello Srinivas,
You can overide the entry of drop-down list by:
selecting the "Allow Custom Text Entry" box of the field tab of the object palette
of that drop-down list.
Thanks,

Retrieving the drop down value used in wdr_select_options for default

Hello Experts,
I populated drop down using the method add_parameter_field by using WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS component.
Now my requirement is I need to default the value in some other parameter field based on drop down selection value.But the problem is WDDOMODIFY method is not triggreing while selecting the value from this dropdown for defaulting the value and even there is no method or option in the interface if_wd_select_options for creating an action while selecting the drop down like on slect in our manually creation drop down.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Venkat

Hi venkatesh,
                The eventhandlet ONENTER of WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS wont work for the drop down and also
                there is no ONSELECT event of drop down in select options.
                So i think there must be some kind of button action.
                As you told you need to default the value of selection screen field based on drop down selection
                why dont you remove that field from selection screen as you can however use the value later
                while executing depending on drop down value.

Reading the drop down value in interactive adobe forms in WDJ

Hi,
I have a scenario like this:
Drop down menu with values being populated from model . when i select the value from drop down and update the backend with that value, it is not done. It always takes the same value ( first one in the drop down list) and fails to take the selected value.
could anybody throw some light as how to deal with the drop down in adobe forms in WebDynpro Java?
Are there any specific settings for these?
I have taken the drop down menu from WebDynpro Native library.
Kind Regards,
Charan.

Hi Charan,

I faced the same issue, that got resolved when i binded the dropdown with Simple types that were populated.
Hope this helps.

Want to hide the drop down based on text field value

Hi,
I want to hide some of the values in drop down based on one text field value.
I have the field called name which has the value A, B, C, D and also one drop down list which has the values 1,2,3,4,5,6. I want to hide the some of the values in drop down based on A or B or C. Let say, If it is A, drop down value should be 1,3,5. If it is B, Drop down value should be 1,2,3,4. Like this for every record.
Can you please help me out.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Robert,
I am trying it in two different way. Please suggest which is the right one and feasible.
1) I have the drop down list which has all the status. I am trying to hide the drop down values based on one text field value for all records.
2) I have collected all the drop down values into table in webdynpro method. Rightnow I have two tables.
one has line items details and another one have drop down values. both tables having common fields.
I have to show second table values for that particular key, move all of them to drop down.
Which is the best and feasible option.
Thanks

Drop down values for table in a view not getting populated dynamically

Hi Experts,
The problem which i am facing is as follows
In an existing web dynpro component , i already have a view and it consists of table which has 3 columns.All the three columns are non editable
MATERIAL     MAT_DESC     MAT_DEL_FLAG
ABC
EFG
HIJ
Now i need to add 2 more columns after the MAT_DEL_FLAG.These two PLANt and STORAGE LOCATION columns must have drop down values
The context refers to a standard Database ZTABLE to which these two fields are added.
MATERIAL     MAT_DESC     MAT_DEL_FLAG     PLANT     STORAGE_LOCATION
ABC
EFG
HIJ
The Plant column must have the drop down values based on Material .
If we select some value for Plant , then based on the value of plant the storage location drop down values must be populated.
So as per this logic , the drop down values for plant for each row must be different.
Please let me know how to achieve this.
This is a normal table and not an ALV table.
Also please let me know whether the drop down field must be drop down by key or drop down by index.
This is very urgent.
Thanks in advance
Sindhu

Refreshing things again for you -
1. As I have already pointed, create 2 context attributes for VALUESETS for both plant and St.loc.
2. Create dropdown by indexes for both of them, assign valusets to respective attributes using node information.
3. Go to the plant dropdown and create the action for it ONSELECT event - when you chagne the dropdown of plant then populate the respective storage loc.
4.Now, As you are selecting a row (leadselect) you have populated the plant and loc details....write the code for lead selection event of the table
You will get the lead selection index right using node interface (IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE)
LOOP AT ITAB INTO WA_ITAB.
if sy-tabix eq lv_lead_index.
clear wa_valuset.
wa_valueset-key = 'X'.   "plant
wa_valueset-value = 'X'.
append wa_valueset to it_valueset1.
* popultae the storage location valuset based on the plant selected (bydefault it is 1 right in dropdown)
clear wa_valuset.
wa_valueset-key = 'XX'.   "storage loc
wa_valueset-value = 'XY'.
append wa_valueset to it_valueset2.
else.
* Fill the valusets for all other rows as different or as per your requirement.
endif.
wa_itab-valuset1 = lt_valueset1.
wa_itab-valuset2 = lt_valueset2.
modify itab from wa_itab transporting valuset1 valuset2.
clear wa_itab.
ENDLOOP.
lo_node->bind_table ( it_tab).
Now for that Row, if a plant value is changed, respective storgae loc has to be filled right...then in that ONSELECT of plnat drodpwon again you need to write a piece of code...using the same code with a little modifications.
Hope this is clear.
Check this article on the same - but here ALV is used...the concept is same use it for your table -
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0cbdde3-fe58-2c10-fcbc-8db18e693877?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
the above code you hvae pasted - i think it fills only for the 1st time....

Facing the problem ValueChangeListener of the Drop Down List

Hi,
I am using the JDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0 and the JHeadStart 10.1.3.3.88. In my requirement, I am having three View Objects(V1,V2,V3). I need to create a page based on one VO(V1) displayed as table. In the screen, there are 6 columns. Three of them(C1,C2,C3) are having the static values( coming from the VO(V1) from which it has been built), and the others are, one column(C4) is displayed as the drop down list(for some of the rows, drop down list values are coming from the VO(V2), and for the others drop down list values are coming from the other VO(V3). The other column(C5) is a input text field, that is enabled or disabled based on the selected values from the drop down list column(C4). The column(C6) is a check box. Now, coming to the actual requirement, the rows are related to the papers. For each paper, there are 5 methods of studies. One of the method of study is SelfLearning (5th method of study), for this the drop down values are coming from the VO(V3), and for the other methods of studies(1 to 4), the drop down values are coming from the VO(V2). Now, for a user, based on the number of papers, the number of rows are displayed.(1 paper- 5 rows, 2 papers-10 rows like wise). Initially, drop down list is displaying the null values. When I change the value in the drop down list, I need the ValueChangeListener has to be called and it has to call the method in the bean. From the bean, the column(C5) has to be enabled or disabled. This is working fine for the inital 5 rows and 7,8,9,10 rows and 12,13,14,15 rows. But, the ValueChangeListener is not working for the rows 6 and 11. I used the debug concept,and I confirmed that the valueChangeListener is not getting called for the rows 6,11,16 rows.

The problem gets solved. Actually, the problem is at the VO Query. The small modification in the query at the attribute p_id( C1 ) has solved the issue.

Drop down Values in Adobe form

Dear All,
Greetings.
I am using the Adobe interactive form for E Recruitement(copying the standard and changing it as per the requirement). When i am using the Drop down value for one of the field. Instead of the drop down its showing as a POP-UP with all the possible values.
I am not able to predict what the problem is. I need to have a drop down, instead of the pop up.
Please help me in solving the issue.
Thanks

Hi Ram,
Please use a Enumerated Drop down list ffrom the library, seems currently you have Extended Value selctor in your form.
This will hopefully resolve the issue.

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

HCM F&P - How to set the field as Required based on drop down values

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to set the Date field as mandatory when a particular value is selected in drop down list. I have already tried with MessageBox though it displays the error message but process moves further i.e. on clicking Check & Send button it throws an error message but still it moves further and i can see only Send button. Ideally it should halt there itself.
Thanks & Regards,
Jitesh Talreja

Thanks for your valuable inputs
Chintan
I have already tried this. It only highlight the field with the red border but still allow to move further.
Mukesh
Yes, we can definately control this from the backend but that would be the last option i should execute. Ideally, this is something to be controlled in front end itself
Poornima
By setting the field attrbiute Required will set the field mandatory as a whole irrespective of drop down values or any other UI element.

How to set a Default Value in the drop down on Account Creation ?

Hi,
i have to set a default value in the drop down as soon as a User in a particular business role clicks on New Account. I have written the following code in do_prepare_output method. But this code is executed in the 2nd server round trip after entering some value or pressing enter. so i am not getting as soon as user clicks on the New Account.
How to set that default value when user clicks on New Account ? and where should i code ?
