Querying a Dropdown List

I have a dropdown with populating code that looks like the following:
myDropdownBox.DataSource = myDataSource;
myDropdownBox.DisplayMmeber = "typeDescription";
myDropdownBox.DisplayValue = "typeId";
Assuming that I have a typeId with a value of, let's say, 28, how can I use Linq to query myDataSource to find the corresponding typeDescription to be displayed in myDropdownBox.Text?
Rob E.

Rob : What exactly is your data source ? does this help ?
DataTable objTable = new DataTable("table");
objTable.Columns.Add("typeId", typeof(int));
objTable.Columns.Add("typeDescription", typeof(string));
objTable.Rows.Add(10, "test10");
objTable.Rows.Add(20, "test20"); objTable.Rows.Add(28, "test28");
objTable.AcceptChanges();
// myDropdownBox.DataSource = objTable.DefaultView;
// myDropdownBox.DisplayMember = "typeDescription";
// myDropdownBox.ValueMember = "typeId";
var query = objTable.AsEnumerable().Where(x => x.Field<int>("typeId").Equals(28)).Select(x => x.Field<string>("typeDescription")).ToList();
if (query != null)
myDropdownBox.DataSource = null;
myDropdownBox.Items.Clear();
myDropdownBox.DataSource = query;

Query based on a dropdown list (query)

Hello
I have a dropdown list (populated with data from a query)
mysql_select_db($database_myconnection, $myconnection);
$query_groepen = "SELECT * FROM artikelgroepen ORDER BY groepomschrijving ASC";
$groepen = mysql_query($query_groepen, $myconnection) or die(mysql_error());
$row_groepen = mysql_fetch_assoc($groepen);
$totalRows_groepen = mysql_num_rows($groepen);
Now I want to show on the webpage all articles which are part of the article-group that I have selected from the above mentioned list (query)
Which parameter do I have to use in the query which follows :
mysql_select_db($database_myconnection, $myconnection);
$query_artikelen = "SELECT * FROM artikelen WHERE groep ???????????";
$artikelen = mysql_query($query_artikelen, $myconnection) or die(mysql_error());
$row_artikelen = mysql_fetch_assoc($artikelen);
$totalRows_artikelen = mysql_num_rows($artikelen);
Thank you for your replies

Sorry, I don't have the time to script it for you. As I said before, you need to submit the form and use a URL parameter to display the result. This is the same principle as any filtered recordset.
Put your drop-down list in a form with the method set to GET.
In the second recordset, use the name of the drop-down menu as a URL parameter to filter the SQL query. (See the following Help page: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-799da .html).

Defaulting value of Dropdown List to the first value of a BI Query

Hi,
In my VC application I have a form containing a dropdown list to be used as selection criteria for other data. The dropdown list is dynamically populated by a BI Query. When I run the application, the dropdown list is correctly populated with the values returned by the linked query. However, on initial load of the iView, the default value of the dropdown list is blank. The requirement is for the first item returned by the linked query to display as the default value.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to achieve this requirement.
Thank you,
Mustafa Bensan.

Hi Mustafa,
I checked your requirement but it is not possible to display first value as default value for a drop down list because the list will be generate when you click the drop down list. You can use a 'list box' instead of drop down list.

SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

Hello everyone,
We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
dropdown gets populated.
Location Parameter Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
Customer Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.

How to implement two dependent dropdown lists in an input table row?

Hi all,
I am new in Jdev 11g. I try to develop an input table with two dependent dropdown list. I can create independent dropdown list in such table. When I try to implement dependent one following some examples do it in a form using bind variable in the view object I get an empty listbox. How can I do this? Is it possible. I cannot find any documents about this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
it hasn't changed between 10.1.3 and 11. The basic outline of how you do it is
- use a managed bean to query the data
- populate the list with f:selectItems that point to the managed bean ArrayList<SelectItem> for the master and the detail
- obtain the master ID in the managed bean by parsing the #{row} variable when the table renders
- then bulild the detail list
- have the detail list referencing the ArrayList<SelectItem> you expose for the details
Note that without proper caching, the action is quite expensive

Dynamically populating a dropdown list in a pdf form from a datasource

Is there a way to populate a dropdown list in a pdf form from a datasource, specifically from an Access database table or query, using LiveCycle Designer. I am easily able to do this using cfselect in Coldfusion, however, cannot seem to figure it out for pdf forms. I am aware of the Show Dynamic Properties option enabled in LiveCycle Designer, and then binding to a datasource. However, this seems limited as I am only able to select single columns from Access (currently using an Access database) tables, and a unable to select from queries like I do using cfselect in Coldfusion forms. Is this something that must be done with Java scripting? If so, is there any other way? I know nothing about scripting. Thanks

Derrick,
There is a sample posted at
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_db_lookup_tip.pdf
It was created for Designer 7.0 but it should function the same in later versions of Designer.

Problem in mapping dropdown list values with the queries

hi,
I am building a simple applicaittion of currency conversion.
The scenario :
I have a input form with a dropdown list and a input field to enter the amount
I have created the drop down list with the respective details
Value   Desc
1          dollarToeuro
2          euroTodollar
when the user selects the first option in the drop down list and then enters the value and gives a submit -> the conversion takes place
but evrytime i select the second option --> the application hangs..
i have given a guard condition in the submit action for each if the query as LIKE(@option,"1") OR LIKE(@option,"2") for the respective queries.
Please can someone tell me where i am going wrong???

Vaishali

Hi ,
what is the need of ur gaurd condition there?
and try to run the model without that guard condition.

What defines the values observable in a dropdown list?

Hello everyone,
We use a a dynamic entry list to define the input values of the user for 0CALMONTH.
Therefor we chose a query on a multiprovider and selected 0CALMONTH for output.
We also get now a nice dropdown list, BUT
the values start 3.1995 and end 3.2005.
This is very strange, becaus the query should deliver much more values.
What is defining where the values of the drop down list start and where they end?

Hi Sandeep Patki,
Well, I have chosen a dynamic list, but because of that I am not able to go to the query anymore.
I was only able to chose the query onces at the beginning when i made the list (because it is not globally).
I dont think it is master data. 0CALMONTH has no master data (or maybe I did not understand you properly).
I figured out that the list which is shown to me is identical with the value help list (F4 help)
when I try to have a look at the entries in my infocube.

Query Search Select List

I have a search form with multiple search list. When the user selects an option from the search list I want my other select list to filter based on the first dropdown option selected.
Web App name "Listings"
First Dropdown list is "Animal" - option 1 "Elk", option 2 "Deer", Option 3 "Bear".
Second Dropdown list is "City" - option 1 "Steamboat", option 2 "Brush", Option 3 "Strasburg".
From the first dropdown list the user would choose animal. I'm trying to accomplish the second dropdownlist to refresh and only display what City the animal would reside in. Can this be done? How would one do this?

then v_where_clause := v_where_clause || c_isnull;If the parameter is not supplied then are you sure you want to match to null?
Why not something like:
if in_customer_id is not null then
c_where_clause := c_where_clause||' WHERE customer_id = :customer_id';
else
c_where_clause := c_where_clause||' WHERE 1=1 or :customer_id is null';
end if;
if in_account_no is not null then
c_where_clause := c_where_clause||' AND account_no = :account_no'
else
c_where_clause := c_where_clause||' AND 1=1 or :account_no is null';
end if;Then your list of values in the using clause is always constant.
This does get complicated if your in parameters are used multiple times in different ways throughout the query you are building up.

Dropdown List Not Refresh with Static PDF

Hi,
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9 to design my form and view using Acrobat X Pro. In my form, I have a dropdown list that binds to a data connection to populate the list of products available. The SQL query of the data connection is as simple as below,
"SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd = yes"
Everything works perfectly when I save my PDF in dynamic form. However, due to some limitation with dynamic form, I have no choice but to save the PDF in static form. Problem with static form arises when there are changes to PUB_Product table which could be adding/removing product, setting an active product to non-active and etc. In case of any changes, I have to re-open the PDF in LiveCycle and save it in order to have the latest data reflected in the form. Is there anything I can do so that the changes to the product table will straight away reflected in the form without having to re-save it?
Thanks in advance for your advise.
Regards,
Steven

Hi Paul,
Thanks for helping. I'm using Acrobat to view the PDF form. Thus, shouldn't have any problem connecting to the database.
I've captured some screenshots as below and hope it helps you understand my situation better.
This is my Access database
This is my PDF. Added a data connection "Product" using SQL Query "SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd=yes" whereby it will only extract the "active" products.
Binded the product code dropdown list with "Product" data connection to populate the list.
The output of the PDF form. Only the active products are being listed.
Now, if let's say I add a new product to my PUB_Product table, the dynamic form will straight away list the new product but not the static form.
Dynamic form
Static form
In order to see the new product listed in the static form dropdown list, I have to re-open the form in Live Cycle and just simply save it. So my question is, is there anything I can do to skip this "open and save" step?
Thanks.
Regards,
Steven

Execute specific query from Entry List

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to execute a specific query in a DropDown List ?
Example:
I have a dropdown list of airport (PARIS, ROME, BARCELONE).
If i select PARIS, i would execute the specific query about PARIS and
the associated chart
If i select ROME, i would execute the specific query about ROME and
the associated chart
If i select BARCELONE, i would execute the specific query about BARCELONE and
the associated chart
Thanks for your help
Rodolphe.

Hi,
Yes, you can do that.
Add a custom action to the dropdown and name it for example event1.
Connect the dropdown containter (form or table) to the PARIS query.
Set the event name for this line event1 and the guard condition as @dropdown=='PARIS')
connect another line to ROME query with the same event name and a corresponding guard condition.
Do the same for the others.
You can also add visibility conditions to the charts, based on the dropdown value.
Hope this helps,
Shay

Dropdown list from the recursive table in DB2

Hi
I need to create a dropdown list that looks like this in my JSP:
Root
BaseChildA
ChildB
ChildC
BaseChildD
ChildE
ChildF
I have to create it from the recursive table in the database, with columns that show parent-child relationships like this:
child parent
root
A root
B A
C A
D root
E D
F E
Does anyone have an algorithm for doing this?
Thanks!!

I assume you just need to get the data and don't need instruction on how to create a dropdown list. (If you do need that instruction, go look for an HTML site -- there are lots.) Anyway, aren't you just going to get all the data from the "child" column? That would be the easiest way to get the data. But if you need to get the data in the order you showed there, look into whether your database can have a query that gives that. It's often called a "bill of materials explosion" or something like that.

Multiple criteria search with 4 dropdown lists

I want to perform a multiple criteria search on a MySQL
database. Users should be able to use from 4 dropdown lists in a
form only one criterium, all 4 of them or 2 or 3.
Each used dropdown list gives a numeric variable: Fvar1 ...
Fvar4. The variables from the dropdown lists used should be matched
with numeric fields in the database: DBvar1...DBvar4
The numeric variables from the dropdown lists that are not
used, should be ignored.
Example: a user selects a value in dropdown list 2 and 3 and
does not use dropdown lists 1 and 4. Fvar1 and Fvar 4 should then
be ignored for the search, that has to be performed with Fvar2 and
Fvar3, who have to be matched with DBvar2 and DBvar3.
Anyone who can help me out with the WHERE statement in my SQL
query?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Start by using the Advanced Recordset dialog box to create a
query that
looks for all four variables. Then switch to Code view and
start carving
up the code created by Dreamweaver.
The query will look something like this:
$query_getProducts = sprintf("SELECT product_name, price
FROM products
WHERE prod_type = %s AND colour = %s AND size = %s AND range
= %s
ORDER BY price ASC",
GetSQLValueString($var1_getProducts, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($var2_getProducts, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($var3_getProducts, "text"),
GetSQLValueString($var4_getProducts, "text"));
Change it like this:
$query_getProducts = "SELECT product_name, price
FROM products
WHERE ";
$where = false;
if (!empty($_GET['prod_type')) {
$query_getProducts .= sprintf("prod_type = %s ",
GetSQLValueString($var1_getProducts, "text"));
$where = true;
if (!empty($_GET['colour'])) {
if ($where) {
$query_getProducts .= 'AND ';
$query_getProducts .= sprintf('colour = %s ',
GetSQLValueString($var2_getProducts, "text"));
$where = true;
if (!empty($_GET['size'])) {
if ($where) {
$query_getProducts .= 'AND ';
$query_getProducts .= sprintf('size = %s ',
GetSQLValueString($var3_getProducts, "text"));
$where = true;
if (!empty($_GET['range'])) {
if ($where) {
$query_getProducts .= 'AND ';
$query_getProducts .= sprintf('range = %s',
GetSQLValueString($var4_getProducts, "text"));
That builds the query in stages using $where to decide
whether to add
"AND" in front of the second, third, and fourth variables.
