Populate Combo box from recordgroup

I made a procedure to Get the values for a combo box these procedure send the values to another procedure that create a recordgroup and populate the recordgroup and the list. I'm not having errors at compilation time but the list is empty and I have values entered. What would it be.

Eunice,
did you call populate_list('<user_list>',<recordgroup>) ?
Please provide code snippets.

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.<br /><br />var sDataConnectionName = "DataConnection"; //I got this one. it was easy<br />var sColHiddenValue = "<value>";<br />var sColDisplayText = "<value>";<br /><br />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.<br /><br />What else do I need to do to get it to work?

Populate Combo Box field into another field

I've got a form (form1) based off a table (table1). In the form I have a field from table1 called
bagtype that is a combobox type field with a row source from another table with two fields that show up in the drop down box when selected. When I select a field from the dropdown box only the first field populates the actual form field
(and underlying table) which is what I want. What I'd also like to happen is the second field of the combo box that doesn't populate the bagtype field is for it to populate another field (from table1) on the same form and store that
value in the underlying table as well. The other field in the form is called
AStd.

Hi,
you need 1 line of VBA code in the AfterUpdate event of the combo box:
Me!NameOfTheTargetFieldOrControl = Me!BagType.Column(1)
The column index is zero based i.e. 0 = first column of the combo box, 1 = second column etc.

How to automatically populate text boxes from dropdown and tick box options and then sum the results

Firstly I need to say that I have no knowledge of how to use Javascript.
I am using the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat XP Pro to see if it can be used for a Membership Application Form for the 1st year of membership. This 1st year has a pro-rata membership fee per month left in the year of application along with a pro-rata postage fee for non-UK members. All of the input will be via basic text boxes with the exception of the application date and overseas postage for which I have created 3 dropdown boxes, one for Day, one for Month and one forYear and for the 2 tick boxes which are there for the applicant to say if they want 2 other options which have a cost attached to them. I want to populate 2 text boxes from the Month lookup. One of these is for the pro-rata membership fee and the other for the pro-rata overseas postage. The other 2 optional items will be text boxes populated from the tick boxes. Having populated these 4 text boxes I then want to have them automatically summed to give the total to be sent by the applicant.
I have searched many forums and tried many of the suggested ways of doing it and none of the 4 text boxes are populated.
Are you able to help me with this?
Many thanks

The script solution provided is a "custom calculation JavaScript" not a "simplified field notation".
The comment at the top of the code:
// Custom calculate script for text field
should help clarify the placement location for the code.
Simplified field notation has a number of specific restrictions. One is that the provided data must be numeric data only.

MS Excel/VBA: Querying DB to populate combo boxes

Hi.
I am trying to populate five different combo boxes.
They are in an order of importance - market, product, duration, trade period description and trade date. Therfore, if a user selects a different market, then all of the other combo boxes should automatically update to show, for example, only the products which operate in that market should be visible, and this should be iterated all of the way down the other three combo boxes.
I have written code for this to happen so the query for product only includes those for that market.
However, when I use the ListFillRange to select all of the available products and populate the combo boxes an error occurs sometimes stating "Application-defined or object-defined error". It highlights the .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False line.
Is there a better way to go about completing this task?
Thanks, Dan.

Sometimes I've seen this in access with form, where the database data has either something line a linefeed character or a load of spaces before the actual
text eg " text" in which case the
columns in the control will be too narrow.
You could try udjusting your coulumns width in its control
You might need to loop through each item in the cotrol and adjust using say
the MID() function or the TRIM() function.

and i want to display the only url in combo box list. for that how can load this xml file and how can i show.
Can any one help me.
thanks
Raghu.

Raghuvasa,
Get the XML file data into an XML variable in your code, say var jukebox: xml. Then do
combo.dataProvider = jukebox.song.url
or as a shortcut
combo.dataProvider = jukebox.descendants("url")
The latter will pull out elements with tag name url at any depth in the xml structure, so sometimes you have to be careful, but in your case there should be no problem.

Create combo box from another

I currently have a combo box in my movie. The selections are 1, 2, 3, and 4. I would like to generate another X combo boxes of the same structure based on that number. I.e. Someone choose 2 in ComboBoxA. So 2 of ComboxB's are generated below that.
Can someone help with the syntax?
Thanks,
Brandon

import mx.controls.ComboBox;
var tl:MovieClip = this;
var lo:Object = new Object();
lo.close = function(eobj:Object) {
    for (var i = 0; i<eobj.target.selectedItem.label; i++) {
        var cba:ComboBox = tl.createClassObject(mx.controls.ComboBox,"cb_"+i,i);
        cba._x = cb._x;
        cba._y = cb._y+(i+1)*cba._height;
        cba.dataProvider = [whatever];
cb.addEventListener("close",lo);

Getting the value of a combo box from a button

Hi everyone, i wondered if anyone knew how to get a system combobox value from the item pressed event of a button. The code below only gets the last value rather than the one currently selected.
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_COMBO_SELECT
                    If pVal.ItemUID = "3" And SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_COMBO_SELECT Then
                        oCombo = oForm.Items.Item("3").Specific
                        ComboBoxValue = oCombo.Selected.Value
                    End If
If pVal.ItemUID = "ViewDocBtn" And SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED Then
                        SBO_Application.MessageBox("ComboBox:" & ComboBoxValue
                    End If
Has anyone got any idea why it is pulling out the last selected combobox value rather than the current one?
Thanks

How do I populate the choices in a Combo Box in a PDF Form from an Excel spreadsheet or text file?

Pleasel let me know if there is a way to copy and paste choices for a Combo Box from an Excel spreadsheet or text file. I have over 250 values I'd like to add and don't trust my typing!
Thanks for the help!
Ken K. - 2191

Yes, using the field.getItemAt method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.745.html
E.g.:
var aItems = [];
var f = getField("combo1");
for (var i = 0; i < f.numItems; i++) {
aItems[i] = f.getItemAt(i);
If there are export values you need to decide how to use the optional bExportValue parameter.

How to populate List Item from the table in a form builder

I want to know how to populate the List Item (pop up menu and combo box) from a table.
Supposing I have a table Customer(cust_id,cust_name)
and now I want to populate it in such a manner that I can update the data back to the database and also access the list on the form.

This is the method i am using to populate a list.
1- First of all you need to create a non-database list item for customer_name.
2-create this procedure
PROCEDURE populate_list_with_query
--Populates the given list item with the specified query.
(p_list_item in VARCHAR2
,p_query in VARCHAR2)
IS
/* Name the record group after the list item (no
block prefix). */
cst_rg_name constant VARCHAR2(30) :=
GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(p_list_item,item_name);
v_rg_id RECORDGROUP;
BEGIN
v_rg_id := FIND_GROUP(cst_rg_name);
IF ID_NULL(v_rg_id) THEN
v_rg_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(cst_rg_name,p_query);
END IF;
IF POPULATE_GROUP(v_rg_id) = 0 THEN
POPULATE_LIST(p_list_item,v_rg_id);
/* Force display of first list element label
in the list item. */
COPY(GET_LIST_ELEMENT_VALUE(p_list_item,1),p_list_item);
END IF;
END populate_list_with_query;
3- Create When-Create-Record on the block level and write this code
BEGIN
POPULATE_LIST_WITH_QUERY('bk1.customer_name',
'SELECT customer_name, to_char(customer_id) FROM customer');
END;
In this example, the customer name is the (visible) list label and the customer ID is the (actual) list value
i hope this will solve your problem ...

Filtering my DataGridView with Combo Boxes

Hello everyone! I have recently started working with windows form application and I must say it is really
awsome! I have came up with a project but I came across a little problem and I hope some of you might help me!
I have established a local database and managed to connect it to a DataGridView, awsome I can see my database
in my windows form! I have also made 7 combo boxes, each with its strings in it, then i added a button that should filter the data grid view according to the strings the user selected in the combo boxes. My question is, how do i do that? I mean how do i make
the button fillter my DataGridView according to the strings selected in my combo boxes?
Hope for a quick answer, sorry for my english and lack of knowledge in windows form!

Maybe you could go this way:
Populate the combobox manually, first adding "All", then adding the items from industryGroupsDataSet.Tables[0].
Add a BindingSource between companiesDataSet.Tables[0] and dataGridView1.DataSource.
In the SelectedIndexChanged event of the combobox, alter the Filter property of the BindingSource. If the selected index is zero ("All"), set the Filter to null, otherwise set the filter to String.Format("groupID = '{0}'", cmbBxGroupFilter.SelectedValue).

may be i can put 3 combo together and on first
OnChange event
i can submit page and process another page and put
values in
another combo and forward page to combo page again.Almost there. What you should do is submit the page on the onChange event of the combo box; but submit to the same JSP. Then, depending on the values that each of the combo boxes contains, run a query for villages in that District and under that Talluka.
And populate the third combo box. If any one of the ( first two ) boxes is empty i.e user didnt' select a value, then you'll automatically get no value for the combo boxes from the query.
Something like this
<%
    String selectedDistrict = request.getParameter("districtcombobox");
    String selectedTalluka = request.getParameter("tallukacombobox");
    //make sure you don't nulls
    selectedDistrict = selectedDistrict == null?"":selectedDistrict;
    selectedTalluka = selectedTalluka == null?"":selectedTalluka;
    PreparedStatement psFetchTallukas = con.prepareStatement("select tallukaname from tallukas where tallukadistrict = ?");
    PreparedStatement psFetchVillages = con.prepareStatement("select villagename from villages where villagetaluka = ?");
     psFetchTallukas.setString(1, selectedDistrict);
     psFetchVillages.setString(1, selectedTalluka);
   rsTallukas = psFetchTallukas.executeQuery();
   rsVillages = psFetchVillages.executeQuery();
//now, print out your <option> elements under the corresponding <select> tags for each of the 3 select boxes
%>For your onChange event you don't need to do anything except call form.submit() where the action should be the same JSP. In case your form is going to be submitted to another page on the final submit i.e after selecting all required values; then in the onChange event handler, before the submit(), you should change the action property of the form to the same page and then submit.

Problem pre-populating a combo box

Hello,
I am having problems pre-populating a combo box from a process.
This combo box field exists in the OIM User Form and in another process form.
Both combo box fields are populated from the same Lookup Definition: Lookup.Jazztel.TipoDeDocumento which looks like this:
Code Key Decode
1      DNI (NIF)
2     Pasaporte
4     Visado
6     Nº Identificación de Extranjero
9     C.I.F.
I've tried these methods to pre-populate the combo box:
* Using an adapter with a SET VARIABLE Logic Task (this adapter returns the code key that is selected in the OIM User form).
* Using an adapter that returns the decode field from the code key and pass it to the Process combo box.
In these cases, the process form combo box is not pre-populated correctly. It always shows C.I.F.
I tried modifying the combo box in the following way:
Code Key Decode
DNI (NIF)      DNI (NIF)
Pasaporte      Pasaporte
Visado     Visado
Nº Identificación de Extranjero Nº Identificación de Extranjero
C.I.F. C.I.F.
and it get pre-populated correctly.
I need the code keys to be numbers. Does anyone know how can a combo like this be pre-populated?
Moreover and curiously, the process form combo box appears ordered alphabetically (according to the decode fields):
Code Key Decode
9     C.I.F.
1      DNI (NIF)
6     Nº Identificación de Extranjero
2     Pasaporte
4     Visado
and the OIM User Form Combo box, appears ordered numerically (according to the code key numerical order):
Code Key Decode
1      DNI (NIF)
2     Pasaporte
4     Visado
6     Nº Identificación de Extranjero
9     C.I.F.
Does anyone know why?
Thank you very much

Try prepopulate combobox by lookup code.
But it must displayed as decode.

Hide a data column in combo box?

I want to load a combo box from a database with two values per row (add.Item ?) but I only want one value to be see by the end-user.
Example:
Hidden | Shown
12320 | Green
19210 | Red
72622 | Yellow
The user will see the colors but not the numeric values. The numeric values are actually the auto_id for each color in the database. I want to use the auto_id when I save the user's choice to another table instead of the color name.
Right now as soon as the use selects a color I hit the database for the auto_id number - that can't be good.
Thanks,
ADawn

Hello,
You would set the data source for the ComboBox that has your data then set DisplayMember to the field to show in the ComboBox along with ValueMember set to the hidden field. Now say in a button click event use ComboBox1.SelectedValue to get the hidden field,
cast as an integer if that is the data type of the hidden field.
