Populate Text fields from Select List

I have a select list when selected should populate two text fields with values based on SQL Query
Eg. The select list is for empno and populates ename and sal in two different text fields.
I have looked at Denes' example http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:42 It is very good but the only problem I am facing is how to populate more than one fields.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi
That would depend on where the SAL data is. If it's on your page, then you could probably do something with javascript. If not, you would have to do some Ajax to retrieve the value from the database. Have a look at: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:80
Your select list could include both the ENAME and SAL values and your existing javascript would then just split the data into two parts and insert them into the appropriate fields.

Livecycle populate text field with multiple records from list box

Can someone tell me how can I populate a text field from list box when I have multiple select.
Here is example:
List box consist: Hello
                         World.
I want to see this in text field: Hello,World.
Thanks!

Hi Legro
I don't know if I understand you correctly, but you can do something like this:
----------------- java script begin ---------------------------------
//Reset text field
TextField.rawValue = "";
//loop through items in listbox
for(i = 0; i < ListBox.length; i++)
          //if item selected
          if(ListBox.getItemState(i))
                    //check if Text field value if null
                    if (TextField.isNull)
                              TextField.rawValue = ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
                    else
                              TextField.rawValue = TextField.rawValue + " " + ListBox.getDisplayItem(i);
----------------- java script end ---------------------------------
I have attached an sample PDF so that you can see how it works!!

How to get the value from select list to text box

Hi,
I have a select list i want to retrieve the value from select list to text box.
How can i do that???
Regards,
Sakthi.

Hi Sakthi,
Yo can use the Java script for that..
Dynamically the value will come into text box.
Use the below script.
<script type="text/javascript">
function disFormItems()
var lReturn = $v(here your select list name)
alert(lReturn);
document.getElementById(here your text box name).value =lReturn; }
</script>Cheers,

Populating Multirecord text fields from Tlists value's combinations

I have a UI wherein there are two T lists, one on the Left and other on the Right. The left one contains
From values and the Right one contains To values. There's one Button which when Pressed should populate
a Data Block which has multi record text fields just below the button with all the possible combinations of
the T lists elements. The Text fields have the values From, To, Time, Unit. When populated From and Two will
get the values from the combinations and the user will enter the values in other fields i.e. Time and Unit,
Then the user can save the Records.
e.g. If the Left T list contains Red, Blue and the Right T List contains Green, Black. Then on pressing
the button below the T lists, the text fields From and Two of a data block displayed in the same window
should get populated with all the possible combinations as:
From || To || Unit || Time
Red Green
Red Black
Blue Green
Blue Black
Now the user can enter the values for Unit as well as Time and when he does save the Records should be inserted
for the Data Blocks DML Source that's some table.
What I'm trying is:
On pressing the Button i'm writing code that will have Two PL/SQL Tables(Index by binary_integer). One will have
all the values of the left T List and the other with all the values of right T List.
I do it as in the WHEN BUTTON PRESSED as:
DECLARE
TYPE varchar_table IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
from varchar_table;
to varchar_table;
v_count1 NUMBER;
v_count2 NUMBER;
v_count3 NUMBER;
v_count4 NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_count1 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE');
     FOR i IN 1..v_count1 LOOP
          from(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE', i);
     END LOOP;
v_count2 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.TO_TYPE');
     FOR i IN 1..v_count2 LOOP
          to(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.TO_TYPE', i);
     END LOOP;
END;
Now how will I populate the text fields with the values in the tables that i got with the piece of code above.
Any help would be appreciated. Any other method other than the one i'm trying is also welcome. Please note that
i'm not using any table to store the elements in the T Lists. The lists get values at runtime by
user's selection.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Try and stay civil in your postings. The solotion should be to simply issue a GO_BLOCK, followed by a CREATE_RECORD followed by setting the approriate values :block.value = <value from list>

Remove text field from Array via for loop

Hi,
i have a problem to remove text fields added via for loop.
That im doing is, via for loop im dynamically creating menu with 10 buttons.
Each button contain, dynamically created, background (shape) and text field.
And everything is fine.
But when im try to remove text fields then i got this error:
- Im using button to remove text fields - lang_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);

          btCount++;

it looks like those tf's are children of lmButtonsMCArray[i], not the current scope. use:
if (footer.lang_btn.langState == "EG")

                                        //clear the array
                                        pushUsTFintoArray = [];

                                        for (var rNr_eg:Number = 0; rNr_eg < pushEgTFintoArray.length; rNr_eg++)
                                                  //remove the text field array from the display

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks so much - it works!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it
Regards,
Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
          f.setSize( 500, 500 );
          ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
          MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
          f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.setVisible( true );
     public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
          public MyListener() {}
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
               System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
               // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

How do I create a series of text frames from a list of files?

And I'm back again.
This time, I'm wondering how I can use JavaScript to place a series of text frames from a list of files, preferably with the ability to specify criteria before running the script.
Here's the details: I work for a newspaper and I lay out stories for the pages (in addition to the other part of my job, laying out ad spaces, as detailed in a previous thread, for which I requested another script, thanks Andreas and Jongware ). The file names for the stories are labeled for the section they go in, like L- for Life, C- for Comment, S- for Sports, etc.
I'd like to create a script that asks for a criteria in a text box (where I can type L-, C-, S- or whatever else I need) and then places all of the stories, in a specified directory, whose file names match what was typed in the box, one text frame for each.
I can't rightly tell if this is a simpler or more difficult script to write out, but I plan on putting research into it as usual so I can develop it myself. However, I figured it would be more efficient to ask first, then research, so that while I'm researching, I can refer to the opinions of my fellow forumites, and/or the mods.
Thanks again for any assistance offered.

Impact of selecting "Removing Query from Selection List" in 2 channels.

HI All ,
I have customized a query in one channel (My Agreements and Contract Documents query in Master Agreements List channel) and have removed the standard query from the channel by checking the "Remove Query from Selection List" and introduced my custom query in that query group .
But it resulted in break in chain for "Master Agreements" link in "Contracts To Do List" channel as the link was pointing to standard "My Agreements and Contract Documents" query and is displaying "The query can not be executed. Contact your system administrator" when ever I click on that.
Any pointers on how to overcome above scenario wud be gr8!
Regards,
Uday

Hi Uday,
In order for To Do List channel to work, the query definition should be in the Master Agreement List query group. Do you still want the standard query in the To Do List? If so, you would have to leave it on the Query Group as To Do list is pointing to it. May be change the display name of the query so you can differentiate between the 2 queries. The other option is change the To Do channel to point to the custom query.

Vikram

How to get the text boxes and select lists dynamically?

Hi,
I have a requirement such that I need to create the text boxes and select lists depending on the user input at the run time. It means that if the user requires four text boxes/select lists then I need to have 4 such thing. If the user need 6 then I need to have 6.
The design may be such that initially only one text box/select list will be available when the page launches. Then as ad when the user asks for more those will be available to the user accordingly.
regards,
Dipankar.

You can use Ajax to call textboxes and select list based on what user enters.
Otherwise make those items conditional and based on what user enters you can display textbox or select list.
You can call Single Textbox and Select List using Ajax for any number of conditions.

Chandra

How to remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet

I followed the procedure by SAP help.
Automatically generated text fields are marked with a 'T' on the icon in the InfoSet. You can remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet in the initial screen of the InfoSet maintenance under Further Functions -> Delete Text Fields. Cancel the DataSource creation on the next screen and delete the text fields in the InfoSet maintenance transaction.
I know that there is an option "No automatic text recognition" when I create a new InfoSet, however, I couldn't find out how to change an existed InfoSet. I checked menu Goto->Global Properties, but that option is disabled. Is there a way to remove text fields from an existed InfoSet?

Hi,
In the initial screen (when you enter transaction code SQ02) type your infoset name and goto menu: Infoset -> More functions -> Delete text fields. this will delete all text fields.
I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7
Cheers

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Auto Populate Drop Down and Text Fields from Other Drop Down and Text Fields

Hi everyone
I'm trying to pre populate a "Proposed Employment Status" drop down field with the selection from the "Current Employment Status" drop down field and allowing users to select another option if the proposed employment has changed. If it hasn't it would just remain as populated by the Current Employment Status" entry.
I'm also trying to do this with text fields eg "Proposed Position Title" is populated with "Current Position Title". If the title changes in the bew employment arrangements users can enter it over the Proposed Position Title that is presented when the Current Position Title is entered.
I can get it to work if the drop down or text field names are the same, but this doesnt solve the problem.
Any ideas
Regards,
Michael

Java is a full featured-language and you shouldn't have any problem doing the mathematics, etc.
As far as the rest, Studio Creator is a relatively easy way to create the user interface that you describe. If supports drop-down selectable lists and standard form capabilities. A Web Application architecture would appear to be ideally suited to what you describe, and this is supported by SC. Be aware that this would require a server to serve the application to the client computer.
If the server is a problem you could consider an applet that would be downloaded from a website, and then run entirely on the client computer. But the first approach is better.
