Preset an drop down box on a specific option before display

Hello Experts,
I set an dropdown box with a fixed list of options out of a variable (Forecast 1, 2, 3 and so on). It works fine. However, right now Forecast 3 is actual. So when opening the template the drop down box is supposed to be preselected on "Forecast 3".
I solved the problem by sorting the options, so that 3 comes first and then I set the "action before first display" in the template's properties (set variables values on Forecast 3). It's works but the Users dont like the fact that the drop down box is sorted wrong. Do you guys maybe have a better solution for me?
Thanx in advance,
Cora

Hello Raj,
thanx for you reply. I have thought about this, too. But I wanted to set the default entry only in my template and not for all cause my colleges might not want it this way. Does this mean, it is not possible to set such things in the template at all?
Thanx & cheers,
Cora

I am unable to save a bank statement - a drop down box wants my "owner password" before it will save. How do I find this?

Recently, I have been unable to save my bank statements. I now get a "drop down box" asking for my "owner password". When I insert my password, it does not recognize it? Any ideas?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How do i change the backgrond color of a drop down box.

I'm creating a form which has a colored background and a drop down box with 5 choices. The problem is the font color in the drop down box is white and so is the background color of the drop down box so the selections are not visible unless you scroll over them. I would like the background of the drop down box to match the background of the form.
Also, can the font size of a selection in a drop down box be different then what is displayed. The font is set to 35 so it's huge when displayed in the drop down box. It would be nice if the selections were displayed in the drop down box in size 10 font but displayed on the form once selected as size 35.
Thanks!
Mike

You can set the background colour with (in formcalc):
$.fillColor = "5,5,5" // obviously changing the numbers to the RGB colour you want
or if it is not going to change just set it in Border tab under Background fill.
For the size of the font - set the dropdown box to size 10 font and then in the exit event of the dropdown list put (in formcalc):
$.font.size = "35pt"

Translation of drop down box values in Time Advice iview

We have an issue where the values in the drop down box for Team Time Advice iView -> Display more time statements is only appearing in English. The values are 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. If we log into the portal in French then everything is translated to French except the values in the drop down box.
I am looking to find where these can be translated. Is it possible via the SPRO like it is for values for Organizational Structure Views, or is it only possible by core modding the internal local Java Dictionary in the Java Webdynpro?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi,
It really depends on where those values are coming from. It is possible that something like that is actually part of the Web Dynpro Application itself and not something that is taken from the backend system, so not possible to modify in the iMG.
My suggestion is that if this is standard SAP code that you raise a support message with SAP esp. since as you say all the other text is translated into French, it might just be a bug that they will fix.
If it is your own custom code then you need to look and see where those values come from. You can internationalize WDJ apps as described in this link: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW70EHP1/helpdata/en/2d/e7381138a8d2458f1f4fac32614f71/frameset.htm
I hope that helps you,

WAD - How to Minimize the Space Between Drop-Down Box and Table

Hi all,
I am trying to display a query in 'Table' with Web Application Designer (WAD). First, I have placed the 'Drop-down box' web-item and 'Table' web-item below it in the Web Template. There is an half-inch of space between the 'Drop-down box' and the 'Table' when it displays on the browser. It doesn't look good with this gap.
How can I eliminate or minimize this gap, PLEASE ?.
Thanks.

Hi Ingo & Hari,
 Thanks a lot for your help. Now it reduced the gap between the drop-down box and table to 3mm on browser.
But, there is no gap on web template. If we change some settings, we could still further reduce the gap while displaying it on browser.
Any new suggestions, PLEASE. Thanks again.

Drop-down box population

I have tried to research this situation through the forums, but all the answers I've found are ... not quite 'it'.
I'm working in a relatively small company, producing forms to automate a good deal of the workflow. ( I used to be a Notes Dev and Admin, back in the day, so I'm very familiar with workflow and automating forms but this company is small enough that a lot of the backend processing is ... missing or in 'long term development'.) I have an expense report type form where I need to be able to have the users select the type of expense from a drop down box to start their line items, and then use the other kinds of fields to fill in the other data. However, the drop-down needs to be at least vaguely dynamic as specific projects/work details come on and get removed. Managing more than a dozen lines by hand is tedious and annoying.
Is there any way to popluate a drop down box's list with a hidden field on the form? It would save me a LOT of trouble if I could enter the data into a multi-line field and have the form auto-populate with that data instead. Barring that, is there a 'fast' way to clear out a list for a drop-down field without using the little minus sign to remove each item individually?
Many, many thanks in advance.

I know this is a over a year old, but I needed to populate a drop down list with over 400 entries, so I downloaded the above form and it would not hold enough entries. So I edited it and made the file 100 inches long and it had more than enough room for my entries I needed. It may well hold almost 1000 entries, I did not check. but here is a link to the longer form for those of you who need to enter many more entries.

Thanks to George Johnson for the wonderful first edition that has work well for many I am sure. This is his form only much longer to allow more entries.

Text elements in drop down box

Hi,
I am working on text elements in drop down box for service request application. I have a requirement that the display of text elements in PCUI should be in such a way that
depends on the role of the user. eg: for role 'X' some text elements should be displayed and role 'Y' remaining text elements should be displayed. In SAP GUI all text elements should be displayed. I copied MAC of text data to ZCL_CRM_BSP_AM_SLS_TM and tried to add the logic in methods IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL~GET_ALLOWED_DDLB_VALUES
IF_CRM_BSP_MODEL_ACCESS_IL~FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX
when i put external break point none of this methods are touched. Instead it goes to the methods of the class CL_CRM_BSP_TEXTMANAGEMENT_SC. This method is buried deep inside. Should i copy all the standard classes above this class and do the modification? Is there any other way? Any help is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Charan

Hi Charan,
You have mentioned that in GUI all text elements have to be displayed. Why is it so?
If that's not the case then you can control it in PFCG authorizations. Object CRM_TXT_ID.
If you provide authorizations for a specific role for specific text ids only, the same would reflect in PCUI also. Others may not appear in the dropdown.
Please try.

Drop Down Box Choose A Name and Have only the first name show up

I am creating a form for health care.
I have a drop down box with names of Physicians... their full names so they can be easily identified. And then subsequent fields that will be populated based off of the choice. However What I need is that after the full name from the drop down list is selected than only the Dr's First name shows up in the box to be distributed through out the file. All the rest of the information is already in using this Java:
switch(this.rawValue){
    case "MD":
        form1.Page1.Physician1LastName.rawValue = " Acccc";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Number.rawValue = "1111111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Fax.rawValue = "2222222222";
        form1.Page1.ClientEmail.rawValue = "[email protected]";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Address.rawValue = "xyz suite ";
        form1.Page1.Physician1City.rawValue = "XYY CIth";
        form1.Page1.Physician1State.rawValue = "XZ";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Zip.rawValue = "11111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1NPI.rawValue = "111111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1License.rawValue = "ABBB111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1UPIN.rawValue = "A11111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Specialization.rawValue = "Internist";
        break;
And is working beautifully thanks for previous help everyone.
Here is the example from the Drop Down list choices:
     Dr. Aaaaa Abb Accccc
     Dr. Baaaa Bbb Bccccc
I would like to choose :
     Dr. Aaaaa A Aaaaa
and upon chosing it have it show only the first name in that field so it can be processed correctly through out the rest of the fields.
ie:    Aaaaa   (Only nothing else)
I am a horrible at this stuff I just surf around until I find something that works and copy and paste and play until it works
So Please be specific:
Java vs FOrm: Client: Choice   and code ....
Thanks SO much ....

Take a look at the attached. The script assumes the name is a three-part string such as Dr. Frank Burns. You can modify it according to your needs.
// form1.page1.dd::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue != null) {
var doc = this.rawValue;
var i = doc.indexOf(" ");
doc = doc.substring(i+1,doc.length);
this.rawValue = doc.substring(0,doc.indexOf(" "));

Drop down box in SAP QUERY

Hello Friends,
I have developed a SAP QUERY using SQ01, SQ02, SQ03. It displays an ALV output.
Now for some particular fields, I want a drop down box in the output ALV. Since in SAP QUERY output alv and final table runs at runtime I am not able to put any of two options I have i.e. VRM_SET_VALUES or DROP_DOWN_HANDLE.
Can you suggest me the way with which I can display a drop down in the output ALV.
Please revert if the questions seems confusing.
Thanks,
Harjeet

Dear Sai,
The Data provider should be the same which is being used by the table and more over you have an option of Read mode over there to display the values in the report based on the Dimension Table values or Posted values or Master data table values.
Moreover in the specific properties panel of the Drop down, you need to mention on which characteristic you want the drop down box.
Post back if your issue doest resolve.
Cheers

Web Reporting, drop down box.

Hi Friends,
Previously we have a variable for 'Selection Time Category'.
They no more want to use a varible instead they want to put as navigational, I think filters in web. Can I use a drop down box for this.
What I have done is I placed infoobject in Free char area in Query and Saved it.
Now I want to place use a drp down box in Web adjacent to other dropdown boxws. Please guid me. I am new to Web reporting.
Sudhakar

hi,
try
- drag dropdown box web item to your web template
- do setting for properties for the dropdown box in 'specific' section
characteristic/structure : your characteristic to filter
read mode : posted values
take a look 'affected data providers', make sure data provider you want controlled by the dropdown box marked.

When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

# Question
When I open the "Save Page As" window, the drop-down box for the file name shows files that were saved long ago. This is not cleared by any "clear history" function that I can find. How do I clear this?

Hello.
I believe this is a Windows related issue, since it's the windows Save File manager we're talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help on that one, I believe. You'd expect to be able to delete the entries by simply tapping ''Delete'' on your keyboard when they are focused (that's how it goes for deleting specific form autocomplete entries in Firefox), but I haven't tried that.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

"iOS Photos" album missing from Facebook drop down box

I have an iPhone 5S running iOS 7.0.4. I want to post a Photo from the Camera Roll to Facebook. I tap on a Photo in Camera Roll and choose FaceBook. The Album field defaults to one of my existing Albums at the top of the list. When I scrool down through the list the iOS Photos album doesn't appear. Therefore any photo I upload via the Photo App appears on Facebook under a specific Album not Mobile Photos or iOS Photos. How do I get iOS Photos to appear at the top of the drop down box?
Many Thanks!

Is remember passwords still enabled?
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Remember passwords for sites"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

How to insert drop-down box into the already set-up table ?

if i have a table already set up, and i do want to add the drop-down box into each column like in the excel. how would i do that ? this drop-down box would allows me to specifically select the data as shown on the screen.

Hi Bondwaan,
I am not sure wht you are asking but I suspect it has to do with a popup menu. If that is the case, a popup menu is a formatting choice.
If you need more info, you will need to ask a more specific question.

AppleScript how to use "get" for field information and drop-down boxes?

Hi all,
First post.
Looking to use the "get" function or similar for getting information in a list or from a drop-down box or a field.
Example, you open keychain, open the info. for a cert and want to read the currently selected trust setting for "When using this certificate" drop-down.
Or, you want to check the Common Name field under details.
How would I return these specific values?
Thank you,

The exact question being asked here: http://forum.soft32.com/mac/select-table-row-ftopict101735.html
But, that doesn't work with the latest AppleScript.

How to get ALL values as default for a drop down box in JSF

Hi,
I have a drop down box in JSF page which retrieves values from LOVCache.java. I have values like Company, Client, User, ALL in the drop down box.
By default blank value is selected for the drop down box. I want to make ALL(which retrieves data for all the values) as default value for the drop down box.
Could any body help me? Any help must be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aseet

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.
Regards,
Aseet
