Populate drop-down list in table row or repeating subform

I am currently working on an Adobe Interactive Form integrated with web dynpro ABAP. I would like to create a table or repeating subform with a number of drop-down lists populated from SAP.
I am using the Enumerated Drop-down list from the WebDynproNative menu. In my WDDOINIT method, I am populating the attributes using the set_attribute_value_set method. This is working fine when my dropdown is not in a table or repeating subform. The dropdown is populated and the selected value is returned to SAP when submitting the form. However, when I place the dropdown in a table row or a repeating subform, the dropdown is not populated.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi There,
I am facing problem in Dropdown lists in Subforms.
I want the region dropdown list values according to country (only for DE) dropdown list value. Both Dropdown lists are in a Subform.
For that, I have used this in EXIT event of Country Dropdown list:
if (this.rawValue == "DE Deutschland")
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Schleswig-Holstein","1");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hamburg","2");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Niedersachsen","3);
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bremen","4");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Nordrhein-Westfalen","5");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Hessen","6");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Rheinland-Pfalz","7");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Baden-Württemberg","8");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Bayern","9");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Saarland","10");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Berlin","11");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Brandenburg","12");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Mecklenburg-Vorpomme","13");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen","14");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Sachsen-Anhalt","15");
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.addItem("Thüringen","16");
else
data.Item.IT_ITEM.DATA.ZZ_REGION.clearItems();
It does only change first region dropdownlist value, not others because both dropdown lists are in a Subform.
Other problem is that it works only when All Country Dropdown lists are "DE". Means, first region dropdown list depends upon not only first country dropdown but also other dropdown.
My requirement is, If first country Dropdown is "DE", only first Region Dropdown list should be fill, not others. And so on.
Please provide solution that How can I change all dropdown lists of a Subform dynamically?
Waiting for reply.
Thank you

How to populate drop down list in infopath 2010 with form Active Directory resources.

I want to populate drop down list in infopath 2010 with Active directory resources.
Kindly let me know how to do this.

Actually I posted an alternative approach, whoops. This is the Web service way, but both will work;

Drop down list in table

Hi ,
I have a table, which has two columns both are drop down list. So when the user inserts a new row and when he selects dropdown1 then dropdown2 has to be populated on the value of dropdown1.
Please let me know how can this be acheived in Java Webdynpro.
Regards,
Sharath

Let "Rows" be the data source node of the table. Add two non-singleton child nodes "Items1" and "Items2" for storing the dropdown list items.
Define an action "List1Selected" and add a parameter "row" of type IRowsElement.
Define a parameter mapping that maps the predefined event parameter "nodeElement" to the action parameter "row".
Assign action "List1Selected" to the "onSelect" event of list1.
In the action handler you have then the row where the entry from list1 has been selected:
void onActionList1Selected(IRowsElement row, ...)
IItems1Element selection = row.nodeItems1().currentItems1Element();
/* Now populate row.nodeItems2() depending on the selection... */

Drop Down list in table with data from database table

Hi,
I have created an interactive form in WD ABAP.
In Context tab I have created the nodes as follows:
ZSOHEADER node with cardinality 1..1
|-> MATERIAL node with cardinality 0..n. Under MATERIAL node there are 2 attrib. MAKTX and MATNR.
I am fetching data from MARA table into an internal table IT_MARA.
The node MATERIAL is bound to internal table IT_MARA.
I have created a table with property ' Body rows vary depending on data ' .
I have only one row in table. The first cell of the row is a drop down field.
I have bind the field to the node MATERIAL->DATA->MAKTX.
Now the issue is even though I have created only one row in my table, in preview it is creating as many rows in the table as the no.of records in the internal table.
I want only one row with the drop down list containing all values of the internal table.
Kindly suggest what to do.
Regards,
Vinod

Hi,
In the WebDynpro Context, in the main node create another node like A1 with cardinality 0..n and in this node create attributes TEXT and VALUE.
Now goto method and in that method using code wizard read the node A1.
And use the below code snippet sample in your program, i.e. code this under respective method of the webdynpro.
*Declare the TYPES
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_TABLE,
TEXT TYPE SOMETYPE,
VALUE TYPE SOMETYPE,
END OF TY_UOM.
*Define Internal Table and work area.
DATA : IT_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TY_TABLE INITIAL SIZE 0,
WA_TABLE TYPE TY_TABLE.
SELECT TEXT VALUE FROM TABLENAME INTO TABLE IT_TABLE.
lr_node_info->bind_table( IT_TABLE ).
And in the Adobe Form Layout
Go to Menu of the Adobe LiveCycle Designer:
Tools>Options..>DataBinding
In that window you just check the Show Dynamic properties Check Box.
Now for the Drop Down go the binding tab in object palette and click on the list items and there specify the Internal Table and specify the text as the internal table text field and value as internal table value field.
OR
From the WebDynpro Native Library Palette use the Value Help Drop Down and in object pallette goto binding tab and provide the form interface binding. Before this in the WebDynpro goto Context and for the particular field under the properties provide the search help as dictionary search help and specify the name of the dictionary search help.
OR
We have another method of setting the Text and Value to the DDL directly in the WebDynpro by coding in the methods, I dont have much knowledge on this.

Populate drop-down list from multiple text fields.

Just to begin, I am brand new to this application and brand new to coding in general. Anyways, this is what I am trying to accomplish. I need to populate a drop-down list from multiple text fields. I am able to populate one item using this in the calculate event:
TextField1.rawValue
After I type text in TextField1 and hit enter, it displays the text in the drop-down list. I need to do this but with more than just one text field to populate more options for the drop-down list. I will also need to do something similar with populating a drop-down list from selections made in multiple other drop-down lists.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Thank you for your suggestion Geo Kaiser. With that, I was able to populate my drop-down lists, but now when I select an option from the drop-down list, the selection dissapears. The selection will appear briefly in the box but then dissapears although my drop-down list options remain there. Here is the code I am using for my text field to drop-down list:
DropDownList1.clearItems()
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField1)
DropDownList1.addItem(TextField2)
And here is my code for my drop-down list to populate another drop-down list:
DropDownList3.clearItems()
DropDownList3.addItem(DropDownList1)
DropDownList3.additem(DropDownList2)
Thanks again for your help. By the way, I am using Adobe Designer 7.0.

Drop down list in Table Control - Value disappeared after pressing ENTER

Dear Gurus,
I have a problem in one of my development where I used a table control in which one field is a drop down list.
I used VRM_SET_VALUES and VRM_GET_VALUES for populating the values from the programand not use any domain level value table for that field.
My problem is when I select one value from this list , and pressing enter , the value get disappeared. But if I use a domain for this field with value table then everything working properly.
My doubt is am I doing some miss coding or using the VRM_ function modules improperly ?
I am sharing some code with you
in PAI :
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_GET_VALUES'
    EXPORTING
      id            = 'ITAB-FIELD3'    "This is drop down list element on screen
    IMPORTING
      values        = values[]    " even it is not the expor parameter...it will work..
   EXCEPTIONS
     id_not_found   = 1
     OTHERS         = 2.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
No sy-subrc check required.
ENDIF.
IN PBO
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
       EXPORTING
            id     = 'IVBAP-ERNAM'
            values = values[].
Can you please help me.
Thanks .

and one drop down list in form library at infopath 2010 but how to populate the dropdown in infopath populate with this column.

Hi John, you should either add the values to your InfoPath dropdown manually or create a new list in SharePoint with the values and make a connection to that list to populate your dropdown.

Acrobat 9 pro designer -- how to populate drop down list

I down loaded the acrobat 9 professional trial version and have been trying to see how I can create a drop down list where I can input 500 names. I created the drop down list but the problem is the following. To enter the names in the drop down list I have to type each one and hit enter then enter in the next. I have about 500 names to enter and doing one at at time is not efficient. I tried to copy all the names and paste it into the drop down list but it will only paste the first name.
Does anyone know how I can enter 500 names all at once into a drop down list box?
I need a simple solution that can be made without some complicated code.
please email me [email protected]
thanks

thanks you for the response. I am not tech savy when it comes to javascript or form calc any chance you can give more details

String[] ca = { "user1","user2","user3"}
I am populating the table from my class...but i am not able to populate the dropdownbox...
Below is the code i used to populate the table:
UserDTO[] cat = wdContext.currentBeanElement.modelobject.Objuser();
for(int i-0;i<cat.length;i++)
IPrivateUserView.IGroupNodeElement e = wdContext.createGroupNodeElement();
e.setUser(cat<i>.getUser());
e.setName(cat<i>.getNmae());
wdContext.nodeGroupNode.addElement(e);
When I use Textview element in the table UI , the values are populating..
But I need the User column in DropDown...So when i change the UI element to Drop Down Box in User column in Table,the User Column in the table is alone empty..
How can I populate the values in dropdownbox with String[] ca = { "user1","user2","user3"} ...
And I am usin DropDownByIndex UI element...
Thanx in advance...

Hi
To populate a dropdown by key inside a table, you should do it this way:
//YOURNODENAME card: 1..n selection: 1..n    , attribute within node,
// it could be card: 0..n y sel: 0..1, depend on your liking/mandatory
//condition.
IModifiableSimpleValueSet ValueSet= wdContext.getNodeInfo().
     getChild("YOURNODENAME").getAttribute("ATTRIBUTENAME").
     getModifiableSimpleType().getSVServices().
     getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
//Fill dropdownbykey with data
ValueSet.put("user1","user1");
ValueSet.put("user2","user2");
ValueSet.put("user3","user3");
ValueSet.put("user4","user4"); //... etc.. fill to fit your needs
//Fill table with independant copies, that means choosing one doesnt modify the others
for (int i = 0; i<5 ; i++)
wdContext.nodeYOURNODENAME().addElement(wdContext.nodeYOURNODENAME().createElement());

Populate drop-down lists based on check box selections

Hi. I'm creating a Service Work Order form. At the top, there are several check boxes for the various services we provide, under that , more text fields, drop downs and checkboxes to elaborate on those services, and then at the bottom, fields for pricing.
I'd like the top half of the form to drive the pricing info that is available or that auto-populates at the bottom.
Ideally, I'd like to make the pricing specific based on 3 things:
the service checkbox
the client
and the details on that service
For example:
If Client XYZ wants Service A that includes subservice B
$123 should show up on the bottom half in the field for that service
If Client ABC wants Service B that includes subservice C
$456 should show up on the bottom half in the field for that service
Does that make sense?
I've been unable to get code to work in either the calculate and pre-Open options
I first tried calculate and used this code (which was just a guess on my part)
if (CheckBox1 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
elseif
(CheckBox2 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
elseif
(CheckBox5 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 55
elseif
(CheckBox6 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 55
elseif
(CheckBox7 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
elseif
(CheckBox8 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
else
$.rawValue = 0
endif
That didn't do anything but give me an error about "and"
So I tried putting code in pre-Open:
// clear the dropdown displayed value and items
this.rawValue = null;
this.clearItems();
// repopulate the items based on the checkboxes
if(offshore.rawValue == 1)
    this.addItem("$40.00", "offshore_001");
    this.addItem("$45.00", "offshore_002");
    this.addItem("$50.00", "offshore_003");
if(inland.rawValue == 1)
    this.addItem("$40.00", "inland_001");
    this.addItem("$45.00", "inland_002");
    this.addItem("$50.00", "inland_003");
I got no error but nothing populated and the drop-down was, in effect, disabled.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Gavin,
This sounds like an issue that is not related to JHeadstart. To simplify the test case, you could create a simple drag-and-drop ADF application without JHeadstart and see if the same problem occurs there.
Your suggestion that it is related to the where clause seems likely. Please find out what kind of object USER_ENV is, and how it is initialized. Maybe this initialization is skipped when bouncing the application.
What happens if you perform the query in SQL*Plus, without doing anything about the USER_ENV?
Maybe you should ask the Oracle Applications discussion forum...
kind regards,

Populateing a drop down list in a repeating sub form

I have been using the scripts from the Purchase Order sample that work with the Country and States/Provinces drop down lists and have modified them to fit my needs. The scripts work great. However I have a drop down list that is in a repeating sub form and the only the drop down list in the first occurance of the sub form works. The others don't.
I put this line of code in a field called drpOrderedByTeam.
JobsScript.getJobsOther(xfa, xfa.resolveNode("form1.TimeSheetSF.DetailsSF[*].DetailsTable.DetailsRow.ItemNumber"));
I thought I just needed to add an "[*]" to the name of the sub form and it would work with all occurances but it doesn't seem so and I'm not sure what else to do.

Based on your explanations, I've attempted to re-create your form and I think I've got it working the way you'd like it to.
There are some difficulties with using fields in table headers which are replicated on subsequent pages because while new instances of the header subform and the fields it contains are created, you don't have access to these instances using the header's Instance Manager (I think this is a bug but I'm not sure). This means that you can't iterate through the instances of the header in order to populate the task lists depending on the selection in the team list. One solution for this is to make all header fields Global (select each field and, in the Object palette's Binding tab, set the
Default Binding property to
Global). This means that all instances of these fields will share the same value. The effect is that when you change the value of a field on an instance of a header on any page, the change will be replicated on all instances on all pages. The catch, though, is when you use lists in the header. Making list fields global doesn't mean that their item lists are global -- which causes other headaches.
In the end, because of the problems I've described, I had to resort to cheating a little but if you think about it, it's not really cheating. What the form does is whenever the team list value changes, it removes all instances of the DetailsSF rows. This has the effect of also removing all instances of the DetailTitlesSF headers accross the current page set (and removes all pages but the first one). Then 6 new instances of the DetailsSF row are generated and the DetailTitlesSF header is re-populated using the new selection in the team list. After that, if a new page gets generated because of the number of instances of the DetailsSF rows, the new instances of the task lists in the new instances of the DetailTitlesSF header will have the correct list of items based on the current value of the team list. In the end, even though I'm cheating by removing all instances of the DetailsSF row in order to reset the lists in the DetailTitlesSF header, it's not really cheating because if you change teams, then it should be assumed that all data entered doesn't apply anymore because the tasks change as well... Convinced?
The best way to understand this is to check-out the sample form.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Drop-down list dont work at all

I have one table in adobe form. I would like to add drop-down list into one column cell.
I have another import parameter table which i try to bind to that cell.
Bind is like this: $record.LT_PROJECTS.DATA[*].AUFNR where LT_PROJECTS.DATA is that table where values( in field aufnr ) is.
When i print out to pdf and open it, first main table rows have those table lines in that cell. So it like explose value table rows to main table first rows.
If i use binding: $record.LT_PROJECTS.DATA.AUFNR it shows only first value of value table and when push field nothing happen...
Where my error is?
Thanks!

Yes. I found out that you have to write some Java **** to form header part to populate drop down list..Now it only question how?
My table data connection = interface = zinterface01 and my table name( where values are ) is lt_values. Fields are value and text.
Can anybody help?

Drop Down List in a table - different options for each row

How can i have a drop down list in a table with different options for each row?
My requirement is this.. I want to display, say employee dtails in a table, and one column is employee hobbies, whcih can have multiple values and each employee may have a different list of hobbies. So how can we populate the drop down for each row, with different options?

Hey. Uh, this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but it sounds like you've got a problem with your database design there. Generally speaking, your tables shouldn't have multi-valued fields, in the relational model anyway (sql). Instead, you should look at adding a separate table like EMPLOYEE_HOBBIES. Then you have a foreign key using the employees primary key as the foreign key in the employee_hobbies table, see what I mean? I might have misunderstood your explanation though, I'm not sure.
Alternatively, you could just have hobbies as a big freeform varchar field, and don't bother to make people separate their hobbies into different fields (you'd have to abandon the drop-down listbox idea in this case). If there's no really important reason to make the distinction, then it's probably easier just to not do it.

Dynamic Drop-Down list in a table row or subform

Hi,
I need to display multiple drop-down list elements dynamically. Each of these DDLs will have different values.
For example:
The table will have 2 columns (Student Name text field and Courses drop-down)
Row 1: Student 1 & Courses of Student1 in DDL
Row 2: Student 2 & Courses of Student2 in DDL
When I execute my app, both the drop-downs (i.e. for both the students) are displaying all the courses of all the students. I tried a lot with binding options..
$record.Students[].Courses[]
is refering to all elements of the node. If I use the index 0 for Students node, I am getting 1st element rows.. if I use 1, I am getting 2nd element rows,,,
But How can I set the binding so that Row 1 has only Student 1 courses and Row 2 has Student 2 courses?
IS THERE A WAY TO DYNAMICALLY SET THE BINDING USING JAVASCRIPT?
I tried with tables, subforms.. it is not working. It is working fine in plain web dynpro table but not in an interactive form. I am using NW 2004s SP11, Web Dynpro Java. LiveCycle Designer 7.1, Adobe Reader 7.09.
There are some other posts talking about similar issue.. I tried the solutions mentioned there as well, but nothing worked.
I would really appreciate if any one can provide a solution or pointer to my problem.
Thanks

Triggering "exit" event of a drop-down list in all instances of a table row

I have a drop-down list in a table row with multiple instances that performs a calculation on the exit event. This calculation draws information from 2 other dropdown lists contained above in non-repeating rows of the same table.
The desired behavior is: should the user change their choices above, all instances of the drop-down list below would perform the "Exit" event script accessing the new values above.
My script is:
RowOptionalCoverage.DdlCoverageType.execEvent("exit");     this works, sort of
It only updates the first instance of RowOptionalCoverage and none of the subsequent instances. The user can "Tab" through the instances and trigger the Exit event for each instance, but this is not a reasonable solution.
I have tried using the resolveNodes method without success. I understand, using the resolveNodes method may be necessary when referencing multiple instances of an object:
this.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");     doesn't work
xfa.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");      doesn't work
No doubt, I must be using the resolveNodes incorrectly or missing something? Probably something simple.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

PERFECT!!! Works right out of the box!
This has opened my eyes to the essential nature of loops. My form is very large and complex and functions correctly, Yet the coding is lacking in sophistication--no loops, functions, fragments or other code efficiencies. I am teaching myself (with the help here) and I have skipped learning and using some techniques when I could things to work using the limited skill set I have.
Sometimes, I just don't "get it". After I fail a few times, I skip it and try something else. Functions are a great example. I could utilize a bunch of these if I could only write one that works. It is frustrating. If I got one to work, I know could write a ton of them. But, there is some essential part of functions I am missing that's preventing me from having my first success with them. (I think it has to do with not understanding arguments completely).
Anyway, I am overjoyed with the solution you provided and I understand it well enough to be able to use again in other situations.
Thanks again!
