Placement of combo boxes.

You can see a screenshot of my current GUI here: http://i43.tinypic.com/2gxjiol.png
On another computer I was developing this on, these combo boxes lined up nicely along the top and matched decently with the different sections of the bar graph presented. On this new system, that does not appear to be the case (as you can see in the screenshot). They don't all fit in one line and don't line up nicely with the sections of the graph. What is the best solution for this issue?
It is an array of combo boxes defined something like this...
JComboBox[] noteBoxes = {
 new JComboBox(noteNames)};
for(int i=0; i < noteBoxes.length; i++){
 noteBoxes.setSelectedIndex(i);
 noteBoxes[i].addActionListener(this);
 add(noteBoxes[i]);
}Thanks in advance!

Hm, I don't know what a "best" answer would be, but one way to possibly do it is to make each column out of a JPanel and place a JComboBox at the top of each column, perhaps BorderLayout.NORTH. Also, due to changes in screen resolution, you may have to put the whole graph business in a JScrollPane.

"Shared Variable Control" combo box on Front Panel is empty after Build

Hello;
I have a project using shared variables and the DSC module. I am working on building a .exe application now that the project seems to run well.
I have several places on the front panel where I have shared variable controls. These combo boxes allow the user to click the drop down button and browse the list of shared variables in the project, as well as "browse". When I run the VI from the project, the combo boxes fully populate with all of the deployed tags in the project (I have only one .lvlib in the project).
When I build the project and run the executable, the only item in the combo box list is the "browse..." selection. I can click on that and browse to my variables, but it is much more time consuming to do so than to simply select the desired variable from the drop down list.
So, how can I populate the list of shared variables from a particular library ino the Shared Variable Control combo box in a project build?
A couple of things I have done to try to esolve th problem are ensure that the "Enable Enhanced DSC Run-Time Support" box is checked in the advanced tab of the build window, added the appropriate .lvlib file to the "Dynamic VI's and SUpport Files" window under the "Source Files" tab of the build window, and properly deployed the tag library programmatically in the project.
Thanks,

Hi Michael,
What you see in the development environment is to make it easier for developers, and as far as I know, there's no way to automatically populate the shared variable control during run time in an executable. The reason being that the shared variable control would have no way to know which process it should be using to get the variables from. The attached vi demostrate how you can acquire the list of shared variables in a process. You can also set the default values of the shared variable control by right clicking it on the front pannel, go to Data Operations->Make Current Value Default. I can do some more research on this, but I'm about 95% sure that there's no way to convert the array of shared variables to populate the shared variable control, as the shared variable control is a special type of xControl.

Combo box not behaving like it should

I have a form in which I have 4 combo boxes that have more or less the same choices, however there is one that is common to all 4 (E078).
When "E078" is selected in any of the combo box, a new combo box will appear (and a white rectangle will be hidden so that the new combo box title can be seen). It works when I select that in one or more combo box, however to make it disappear I have to select some other choice in the same combo box twice!!! If I select anything only once, it will not make the new combo box hidden, but if re-select something (same or another choice) then the combo box will disappear!
I am at lost, and would be very thankful if someone could make it work seamlessly. I mean it works, nut it is just inconvenient and I cannot tell the user to make select something else twice if they want the field to disappear.
Here is my form:
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=WjF6aV8IUuBX2w8iZN3k0g

When you use event.value in a combo box's Validate event it does not give you the export value, which is what you want. It is easier to use place the code in a custom Keystroke script where you can use the event.changeEx property to retrieve the export value of the selected item. See the documentation for more information: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.607.html

Change combo box selection dynamically?

I would like to have a combo box change its selection dynamically according to what is selected in another selector. As far as I can tell from reading the Help, this feature is available for List Boxes, List Views and List Builders only ("The Dynamic Selected Item functionality is available in list-based selectors") and based on the wording I assume that it is currently unavailable for other components. Is this true? If so I would like to formally request that other selectors - particularly combo boxes - be included.
The use case for me is this: After the user has already inputted information and digested some of the output, they eventually reach a section of the project that appears only under certain conditions. This area is about 800 pixels to the right of the original combo box in the inputs area, and so in order to quickly change that selection they would have to go look for the original selector, which could easily discourage them from browsing that particular selection. Hopefully this makes sense.
It would also be great to hear back that this kind of feature request can actually be made in this way. I've submitted a few similar requests in the past and did not see an acknowledgment, and so I am still unclear as to whether or not feature requests are even possible.
(Edit: I thought about creating duplicate overlapping instances of the combo boxes in question and, using dynamic visibility, control which appears according to the current selection. But this is only suitable for smaller lists).

Thanks, Alan. I am currently working on a similar solution. Seems to be the best for my situation, but it is far from elegant.

The Filter component requires that the underlying Excel data be structured in a pretty specific way. As far as I can tell, I would probably have to rip apart my XLS and redesign it in order to make use of that component. Perhaps in a future generation I'll give it a go, but I've already gone through too many redesigns this time around.

I suppose that this can be done with StackPane but I need some other more universal way to do this because I want to expand the table size. I need to place there the combo box always in a fix position.

Combo box in "Filter by Custom Properties"

Hi to all,
I create some custom metadata properties properties in order to classifie the documents in KM.
This metadata properties has a set of Allowed Values, so the value is selectable with a combo-box in Detail box of KM.
Now I have to enable the Filter by Custom Properties with the combobox in place of textfields.
How to do?
Regards,
Giampaolo

What you want is not the Filter by Custom Properties but the Filter by Predefined Properties.
In you search options configuration add your properties to the predefined properties list and you'll get your combo-box.
To configure your search options go to:
System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Search -> Search Options Set

Load Combo Box from MS Access

Me and a co-worker are trying to learn the Designer for a proof of concept (yes, that means newbies). We are currently struggling with loading a dropdown combo box from a table in an MS Access database. We have the connection set up and the field assigned to the control. It populates with the first record from the table, but clicking on the dropdown button does nothing. Is it only populating with one record? Is there a property on the control that is not allowing the list to expand?
I saw another thread in this forum on this topic and the last entry in the thread included the phrase "I GAVE UP" - not very encouraging. This functionality is a must-have and seems pretty basic.
Any advice?

I have been trying this using a Data Drop-down List and I cannot get it work. I have a data connection set up and instead of selecting Table from the choice I used an SQL query to select only one column in the table. There are three lines in the script some of which are confusing to me. var sDataConnectionName = "DataConnection"; //I got this one. it was easy var sColHiddenValue = "<value>"; var sColDisplayText = "<value>"; The last two I'm really not sure what to put there. I tried putting the name of the table column in place of each of "<value>". but it doesn't work. What else do I need to do to get it to work?

Hi Dylan2412,
According to your description, you'd like to pass the ComboBox.Text to the second form's TextBox.
In Form1:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Form2 f2 = new Form2(this.comboBox1.Text); //pass the comboBox1.Text
f2.Show();
In Form2:
public Form2(string s) //get the string;
InitializeComponent();
this.textBox1.Text = s;
You could get the comBoBox refer to this sample above.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

How to Filter the List in Combo Box in JDeveloper?

Hey guys, I really need your help regarding this matter. In JDeveloper, I need to filter the list in combobox in order for us to query faster especially when the list is very long. For example in a 'Country' combo box, when you type 'p' in the field, the list must filter simultaneously all countries that start with letter 'p' or when you place 'ph', all countries with 'ph' in the beginning. If you have sample codes, keywords needed, or sites recommended to solve this problem, it will be very much appreciated. Thnx.

In edit mode, can't select specific options in combo box

I need to edit options in a combox box. When I click on the option I want to edit, it's actually reflected in the combo box, but the option I selected doesn't stay highlighted for editing. The highlight jumps to a different option. This is consistent, but not all options jump. I can't edit many of the options. Using Acrobat 9 Pro.
Any suggestions?

try67 says..."It's not necessary to use Acrobat 5 to edit form fields. Acrobat 9 can do it just fine."
For the most part, A5 and A9 field editing process is the same. Editing the combox box properties is EXACTLY the same. Open the combo box field properties, select the options tab. Click on the option you want to change. The text shows up in the upper window. Edit the text. Save the edited option. It goes to the bottom, Then run it up to where it goes in the list and delete the prior option. In Acrobat 9 (on two machines in our office) the item you click on does not stay selected. The job at hand has a list of 33 options, some stay selected, some do not and are impossible to select...even to delete.
In Acrobat 5, this same process works perfectly.
I'm quite sure that anyone serious (aka trying to make money) about Acrobat production keeps a copy of A5 on hand. Try setting tab order in V9 on a 900 field form that requires a mix of column and row ordering. Then go to the window at the left and pick a field and try to run it up to where it goes. The window doesn't even scroll. You have to set your field down, scroll the window and pick it up and go another jag. And then, scroll back down and try to find your place to pick up the next field. In A5, you simply click the fields on the form in the order you want them. 10 minutes vs. 2 hours.
This is not "just fine".

I need a combo box with 4 values to choose from which will populate a text box on the form with text related to each combo box selection

For example:
Combo box choices:
apple
tomato
squash
Pumpkin
The text box depending on the selection above would state the color:
Green        (if Apple was chosen from the combo box
Red           (if Tomato was chosen from the combo box
Yellow       (if Squash was chosen from the combo box
Orange      (if Pumpkin was chosen from the combo box
I am very new at this and have spent hours looking for an answer. Thank to anyone in advance who can help!

Place each value as the export value of the options in the combo-box and then use this code as the text field's custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("ComboBox Name").value;

What are you trying to achieve here? Offcourse, later will replace the previous. How do you need it to behave like? What is the ultimate goal?

Can two values be passed in the NotInlist combo box?

I would like to update and addtional field with the NotInList procedure, but I have not see the syntax for updating the additional field.
My form ask the user for which program they want via combo box. I capture the program box reqested and I would like to add the program name when I update the NotInList field

Hi NeilO,
As your question is not described clearly enough, please give us some detailed information. If you mean you want to use the NotInList event of the ComboBox to add more than one value to the table's fields, you could need to use VBA. This KB article
illustrates how to add records into the table by using NotInList event, it should be very helpful to you:

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
