Populate DropDownList

First of all I want to apologize for my English.
I started to work with Adobe LiveCycle a few days ago.
I am trying to populate dynamically a DropDownList with a XML at process time . It is possible to do it?
All the documentation I’ve found they do it from Adobe LiveCycle Form Design
Thank in advance.

Hello Philip,
Below is a part of note 1013227, hope it helps.
How to change the maximum number of items allowed in the Value Help DDL**:
Maximum number of items that a Value Help DDL can hold is defined by the "sap.valuesetlimit.maxondemand" property of the web dynpro "default" property sheet. J2ee administrator can change this value by logging into the "Visual Administrator" tool as follows:
- Go to Instance_ID -> Server<X> -> Services -> Configuration Adapter.
- On the right hand panel, select "Display Configuration" tab under "Runtime" tab.
- Under the "Configurations" tree select webdynpro -> sap.com -> tcwddispwda -> propertysheet default
- Switch to edit mode by clicking on the button on the top left corner of the right panel having a pen and a spectacle icon on it while keeping the "propertysheet default" selected.
- Double click "propertysheet default". "Display Configuration" popup appears. Select "sap.valuesetlimit.maxondemand" property and provide a custom value. Apply Custom. Switch back to view mode.
- Restart the server.
We strongly discourage to manipulate this value untill and otherwise it is very much required to do so. Should your application always deals with a large number of value sets, use enumerated DDLs instead. Follow the next section on how to use this.
**Be careful to change this value as it is a global change and every application (having value help : web dynpro and interactive form) running on this server will be affected.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Retrieve list items from the textbox text value and display the dropdownlist item for that particular list item

hi,
I have created a custom list in my sharepoint :
List1 name: employeedepartment -
Title empdepartment
A D1
B D2
C D3
List2 name: employeedetails
emptitle empname empdepartment(lookup) --> from the list "employeedepartment"
x Ram D1
y Robert D2
z Rahim D3
My task is to create a custom webpart that will be for searching this employee details by entering emptitle
For this, i have created a visual webpart using visual studio 2010, my webpart will be like this:
emptitle ---> TextBox1 Button1--> Text property : Search
empname---> TextBox2
empdepartment--> DropDownList1
For this, i wrote the code as follows:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
using (SPSite mysite = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
using (SPWeb myweb = mysite.OpenWeb())
SPList mylist = myweb.Lists["employeedetails"];
SPQuery query = new SPQuery();
query.Query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>" + TextBox1.Text.ToString() + "</Value></Eq></Where>";
SPListItemCollection myitems = mylist.GetItems(query);
if (myitems.Count > 0)
foreach (SPListItem item in myitems)
string a1 = Convert.ToString(item["empname"]);
string a2 = Convert.ToString(item["empdepartment"]);
TextBox2.Text = a1; // displaying properly
//DropDownList3.SelectedIndex = 1;
It is showing the list item in textbox according to the item entered in the textbox1... But I am stuck to show in the dropdown list.
Suppose, if i enter X in textbox and click on search, then dropdownlist need to show D1,
for Y --> D2 and for Z-> D3... like that.
What code do i need to write in the button_click to show this...
Please don't give any links...i just want code in continuation to my code.

Hi,
Since you have got the data you want with the help of SharePoint Object Model, then you can focus on how to populate values and set an option selected in the Drop Down List.
With the retrieved data, you can populate them into the Drop Down List firstly, then set a specific option selected.
Here is a link will show how to populate DropDownList control:

Dropdownlist Cascade

Hi Guys
I have two dropdownlists (A and B)
Both get their values from a database
When i select a value from dropdownlist A
It is suppose to do a postback
and then dropdownlist B gets a value from dropdownlist A
which then populates dropdownlist B
However i have been trying for days but dropdownlist B does
not populate
For dropdownlist A
i have set postback = true
For drop dropdownlist B
in the dataset menu i have set
Filter: classlevelid = Form Variable Classlevelid
This part actually works when i test and put a classlevelid
However on the page
only dropdownlist A gets populated
and Dropdownlist B remains empty after the postback
Your help would be much appreciated

Dynamic Web Dynpro Project

Noufal,
I am working on a WD app wherein I need to dynamically populate dropdownlists, input fields. Dynamic values are contained in an object that has propertiy values such as id, text (could be a value set), read-only flag, labelid flag etc.....
My issue is depending on the UI element type (dropdownlsit, input field, checkbox etc..) I may have to populate UI element corresponingly. I do not want to yse context nodes to bind values, as I have way too many fields to populate. My question to you is as follows:
1) How do I know the type of the element ?
2) How do I populate the dropdown list ?
3) Show the view manipulation be done only in the wdDoModifyView method only ?
If you have posted code for some of my questions, please paste in your response once again....
Thanks,
Sri

Armin,
I reviewed the chapter and found it helpful. However, I am not sure if it addresses the issue of accessing the value of a node, the kind I have talked about. Example is as follows.
I have the context structure created dynamically, and it is as follows.
NodeA
NodeA1
NodeA11
Element1
Element2
Element3
NodeA2
NodeA21
Element1
Element2
Element3
NodeA3
NodeA31
Element1
Element2
Element3
One of the earlier responses to my post, I think it was by Noufal, would work if nodes were created at design time.
But noes above are created at runtime.
I have been able to access the node say NodeA11, but still not sure how to access the attribute Element1 or Element2, which ever is the selected element. Keep in mind, these elements are created dynamically, so I cannot access values with statement like
wdContext.currentNodeA11Element().getElement1();
Hope I am making sense. Do let me know how.
Thanks !

Fill the second Dropdown List based on user selection

Hi All,
I am using Web Services to populate Dropdownlists. This works fine for me.
I have a table with the column "Core Category" and "SUB Category", "Core Category" can have 1 or more SUB Categories.
The SQL statement in the Web Service for "Core Category" looks like this: "Select DISTINCT [core category] from table", this returns a list of categories.
In this example, I want to achieve the following:
When I select a "Core Category' in the first Dropdownlist, the application fires an event or action to fill the second Dropdownlist "SUB Category" with ONLY values that belongs to the selected "Core Category" in the first Dropdown list.
Is this possible with Visual Composer? Please let me know how I can achieve this?
Many Thanks,
Ridouan

Hi Ridouan,
Yes it is possible. [Example of Ship and Engine|http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2968/shipenginezt9.jpg]. Kindly note there is a web service for getting ship and on basis of ship-id selected, engine is filled, which is also deliverd by web service
The intial state of application is ship drop down is enabled but not the engine, that gets enabled only when ship is selected.
Here the steps: Please replace it with your fields:
1. Place the 2 drown down controls.
2. For Ship, Select the web service in the dynamic list of the dropdown, remember at runtime, if those input parameters are not valid it will give the data service error, make use of if statement.
3. Define Store -> shipid, engineid and boolean show_engine - default false
4. Action of ship -> ASSIGN action -> true to show_engine from data store
5. Value of ship ->
=store@SHIP
6.For engine, Select the web service in the dynamic list of the dropdown, remember at runtime, if those input parameters are not valid it will give the data service error, make use of if statement. Where the paramter for shipid is to be filled
=IF(store@SHIP!="",UPPER(store@SHIP),"AVRA")
7. Value of engine ->
=store@ENGINE
Let me know, if helps.

Populate Multiple DropDownLists and a ListBox

Hello All,
Can someone please help me with the following.
What I have are two dropdownlists and a listbox. What I am trying to do is based upon a selection made in DropDownList1 clear all items in DropDownList2 and replace them only those items that relate to the selection made in DropDownList1, then select from the available items now in DropDownList2 and populate ListBox1.
This is what I came up with so far, but can't get it to work.
Using a "change" event javascript the following is what I have in DropDownList1:
Dropdown2.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
if (this.boundItem(xfa.event.change) == 0) { //DATABASE 1
Dropdown2.clearItems();
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 1");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 2");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 3");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 4");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 5");
} else if (this.boundItem(xfa.event.change) == 1){ //DATABASE 2
Dropdown2.clearItems();
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 6");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 7");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 8");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 9");
Dropdown2.addItem("DIRECTORY 10");
In my DropDownList2 change event I have the following:
ListBox1.rawValue = this.boundItem(xfa.event.change);
Can someone please help me with this?

Populate TextField based on DropDownList selection

Hello guys,
I want to fill a textfield based on a menu selection, for example the database has two fields agent_name and agent_number.
agent_name | agent_number
    Scott         |          1
    Dave         |          2
    Matt          |           3
I created a dropdown unsing Dreamweaver CS5, and I fill the values using a database (MySQL), there is a readonly text field called agent_number like the database field, basically I want to put the agent number based on the name selection, if you select Scott, this will autopopulate the number 1.
Can I do this automatically using dreamweaver? Or Do I need to do it using JavaScript?
Regards,

I want to show the agent number based on the agent selection from the drop down.
Well, if you really prefer a javascript based solution over achieving the same result with standard SQL methods, you can do it this way:
a) put this javascript function in the document HEAD:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
b) add an onchange event handler to the SELECT tag, example:
select name="agente" id="agente" onchange="transfer_agentid ()"
However I´d like to remind you that any javascript based approach is not reliable, because you don´t know whether some visitor will have javascript enabled in his/her browser.

Sample code on how to populate data in DropDownListbox

Hi all
i am new to the webdynpro for java.
i have one UI element called DropDownListBox and i want to populate some desired values to the dropdown list box.
what are the different ways are there to populate data in DropDownList box.
for example i have city as dropdownlist box and i want to populate some values in drop downlistbox like bangalore,hyderabad,chennai and delhi,
can you pls send the sample code on the same?
Regards
Suresh Babu

Hi,
If you want to retrieve the city names then you can use the standard tables in R/3.
We have countries list in T500T. Like this we have table for the cities also.
Or
You can manually populate a table and bind this table to the list box.

Report Builder 3.0 DropDownList and @UserID Parameter?

I can populate a report fine using a Stored Procedure and @UserID parameter. The problem is I'm trying to populate a DropDownList with the same @UserID parameter, but the DropDownList never populates, thus the report never populates.
Q. How can I populate the DropDownList before the actual report Stored Procedure is run?

Hi pointeman,
What’s the meaning of DropDownList? Are you saying the ComboBox control with DropDownList as DropDownStyle in Visual Studio? Are you want to use the ComboBox to display the @UserID parameter drop-down list? As per my understanding, I think we can directly
add ReportViewer control to display the report with parameter drop-down list to achieve your requirement.
For more information about how to display reports to an application, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252104.aspx
Hope this helps.

Populating a Field depending on the selection of a dropdownlist in adobe fo

Hi,
I am not able to populate a Text Field based on the selection of a dropdownlist in Adobe forms in WebDynPro.
Pls let me know how to do it????
Thanks in Advance,
Sameer

Hi Sameer,
There is one way to achieve this.
You can write some javascript on event of selecting value in dropdown.
Open your PDF form.Then goto menu "palettes" and then choose "script editor".
Now, select your dropdwon element.
It will show some line of scripting in Javascript of Formcalc.
Here, you can write your JAVA script for displaying values in textview.
If it helps then don't forget to award points
