Populating text fields with previous info in drop down

Hello.
I am using acrobat 7... creating a fillable PDF
The completed project cues the user with a drop down under the text field of everything anyone has ever typed in the text field before.
How do I stop the fillable form from populating previously used info?
Thanks

Thanks so much..
I knew it was easy.. I just couldn't find it!

Populating text field with pl/sql expression or function

Hi all,
I have a function which return an object.
create or replace type emp2_oty is object (server_name varchar2(20),
status varchar2(4),
refresh_on date,
dw_refresh date)
create or replace type emp2_nt is table of emp2_oty
create or replace function testserver12 return emp2_nt
is
v_emp2_nt emp2_nt:=emp2_nt();
a number;
b number;
c number;
begin
for r_emp in (select * from testing)
loop
a := extract(DAY FROM r_emp.dw_refresh);
c := extract(DAY FROM r_emp.refresh_on);
b := extract(DAY FROM SYSDATE);
if (a != b) or (c != b) or (r_emp.status != 'on') then
v_emp2_nt.extend; v_emp2_nt(v_emp2_nt.last):=emp2_oty(r_emp.server_name,r_emp.status,r_emp.refresh_on,r_emp.dw_refresh);
end if;
end loop;
return v_emp2_nt;
end testserver12;
The pl/sql code to get the return value displayed. It works very fine in sqlworkshop.
declare
v_temp_nt emp2_nt;
i number := 1;
begin
v_temp_nt:= testserver12();
for i in (v_temp_nt.first)..(v_temp_nt.last) loop
dbms_output.put_line(v_temp_nt(i).server_name||' '||v_temp_nt(i).status||' '||v_temp_nt(i).refresh_on ||' '||v_temp_nt(i).dw_refresh);
end loop;
end;
I want it to get display the output into the text field.
Please could any one help me to achieve this.
Thanks in advance

Pretty easy, add a CHR(10) (ASCII for carriage return) in the string concatenation.
e.g.
   l_result:= l_result || (v_temp_nt(i).server_name || ' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).status || ' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).refresh_on ||' ' ||
                 v_temp_nt(i).dw_refresh) || CHR(10);Also why over complicate the whole process by using objects and types by simplifying the code and also improving readability and maintenance by replacing the PL/SQL function body with something similar to (the conditions have been negated and may have not been what you meant in the first place)
DECLARE
   v_text_return VARCHAR2(2000);
   l_cur CURSOR IS
      SELECT t.server_name,
             t.status,
             t.refresh_on,
             t.dw_refresh
      FROM   testing t
      WHERE To_Char(t.refresh_on, 'DD') = To_Char(SYSDATE, 'DD')
      AND    To_Char(t.dw_refresh, 'DD') = To_Char(SYSDATE, 'DD')
      AND    Upper(t.status) = 'ON');
BEGIN
   FOR r_emp in l_cur
   LOOP
      v_text_return := v_text_return || r_emp.server_name || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.status || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.refresh_on || ' ' ||
                         r_emp.dw_refresh || CHR(10);
   END LOOP;
   RETURN v_text_return;
END;Hope this helps

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 ??

Having issues with populating a Text Field with data from 2 other fields

I have 3 fields Tools_1a_pri, Tools_1a_pri_other, Tools_1a_pri_txt.
Tools_1a_pri is a drop down combo with a predefined list. One of the options is "Other". When "Other" is selected, the text field Tools_1a_pri_other becomes visible for users to enter the name of the other tool.
The Tools_1a_pri_txt is a text field with a calculation that shows either text stating that no tool has been selected or the Tools_1a_pri & or Tools_1a_pri_other.
When I select one of the predefined tools, everything works. When I select other, it appears that nothing has changed. It requires that I click on another field before it populates. This is confusing to the user.
Tools_1a_pri Validate code
this.getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").display = event.value=="Other" ? display.visible : display.hidden;
Tools_1a_pri_txt Calculation code
//if nothing is selected, do the following
if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value.length < 2) {
event.target.textColor = color.red
event.value = "No primary tool identified";
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value != "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value;
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is not selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value + " - " + getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").value;

You made the classic mistake of using the assignment operator in an if-statement instead of the comparison operator. Change this line:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
To this:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value == "Other") {

Auto-populating text fields based on dropdown option

This has probably been covered on this forum before. I would like to auto-populate multiple text fields with pre-programmed data based on a user-selected option from a drop-down list. The file here should explain clearly what I want to do:
https://acrobat.com/#d=ID7ezZN5ZzIKgVvmgkyMiw
Where can I find an example code that would accomplish this task? Thanks.
-Paul

Your form data hierarchy is different than mine. You need the brackets also, otherwisethe first assignment statements executes only.
// form1.#subform[0].DropDownList1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (!(this.isNull)) {
var char = this.rawValue;
TextField41.rawValue = "Data " + char + "1";
TextField42.rawValue = "Data " + char + "2";
TextField43.rawValue = "Data " + char + "3";

Populating text fields

I have an application that loads variables from a text file.
It loads them into several dynamic text fields by using the
variable property. I tried populating other text fields with these
values but doesnt seam to work.
i tried this.
username.text = username;
I tried this because i need the value of the variable
"username" to appear in the username text field.
Why didnt this work. How can i correct this?
Thanks

it's a component? Why do you need that? Create the username
simply with a dinamic text field and assign the data to it.
I think your missing something. from what i remember and i'm
not so good at this ( i must first see an exemple of something made
by me) you must have a variable which contains the variable in
which the data is loaded.
I have to check out first some work i did to remember. If
problem not solved i will come back in a few hours with the
answer.

How do I add and remove text in a text field with a checkbox?

How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
this is my script in the text box......
event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
The text box looks like this...
Hello, this is my narrative.
FAMILY:
John Smith was born on 08/02/2000
Boby Lou
Jack Smith
I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
Does anyone know how to do this?

There are multiple errors in your code...
Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;
if (this.getField("FatherCheckBox").value!="Off")
msg += "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value;
event.value = msg;

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

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

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

Text field with autocomplete is always NULL

Greetings,
I am new to Apex so I am sure I am missing something obvious. I am using Apex 4.0.1 What I have done is created a form on a table page and added a new text with autocomplete page item. This new text field does not correspond to a column in the table. What I am trying to do is allow the user to use the autocomplete item to make a selection. Then when the user submits the page, I want to use the substr function on the value in the autocomplete field and populate one of the table fields. I have tried using PL/SQL functions in validations and computations but I have found that the value of the autocomplete field is always NULL. I can access the other fields that are associated with a table column fine. It must be something simple. Thanks for your help.
Page Items
P2_F1 - text field with auto complete. Not associated with a table column
P2_F2 – Text field. Is associate with a table column
This is what I want to do:
Entered this in a validation
begin
if :P2_F1 is not null then
:P2_F2 := substr(:P2_F1,1,5);
end if;
end;Thanks again

hi,
The PL/SQL function can also work when you choose Computation point: After submit.

How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?

For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text.

Text field with autocomplete: little bug in application builder

Hi,
I just noticed that the application builder complains when a text field with autocomplete is defined with a named LOV containing a single column value (Apex 4.0.2.00.06).
I created the text-field with a dynamic LOV (please specify in the docs that autocomplete requires single column queries!), then I used the "Convert to named LOV" task link to convert it to a named LOV and it works perfectly, however as soon as you attempt to change some other attribute for the item, it will throw the following error:
1 error has occurred
Using a named list of values (LOV) is only supported for item types which require at least two LOV columns.As i said, the named single column LOV works just fine with the autocomplete, so the error message seems to be also misleading.

Hi Surya,
the "Text Field with autocomplete" is really just an autocomplete widget and doesn't behave like a LOV. But we are planning to release an item type plug-in which solves both of your requirements.

Apex 4.02 BUG: text field with autocomplete. wrong help text

Following the wizard for a text field with autocomplete you reach a screen where you can enter a LOV query. The text area for the query has the following help text
Enter the query that will return the list of values. The query must select two columns in the following order, first a display value then a return value. For example:
select ename, empno
from emp
When selecting two identical columns, be sure to use unique column aliases, for example:
select ename d, ename r
from emp
However the query should return only 1 value.

Thanks Rene, I have fixed that in 4.1.

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.

This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;
HTH.
