Question about using the Combo Box feature!

I have a form that I am trying to create for our company that will allow our field nurses to select what they need and print it more effieciently. The problem is that some of the selections are too long and I can't get the Combo box feature to allow them to be printed on multiple lines:
I have spoken to my supervisor about redoing the form to look like this:
But in order for us to meet state guidelines it has to be formated like the first because that is the state form given to us. I want to be able to either:
A) have the combo box multi-line auto text sized so it will get all the information into each box
OR
B) create text boxes at the end of the form that auto enteries the selected data from the second picture into boxes that look like the first picture.
Is there any way to do either of these?

A) No.
B) Yes. Create a text box with the following code as the custom calculation
script (assuming the name of the combo is "Combo Box1"):
event.value = this.getField("Combo Box1").value;
That way, when the user makes a selection in the combo-box, the value will
also appear in the text box. Just make sure to make the text box read-only
and set the combo-box to apply the selection immediately.

How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums

HI Experts,
Good Mornong.How to use the Combo Box In MAtrix Colums?
Regards And Thanks,
M.Thippa Reddy

hi,
loading data in to the combobox on form load.but, it should be done when atleast one row is active.
the values what ever you are inserting in to combo should be less than or eqhal to 100 or 150.if it exceeds beyond that performance issue arises.it takes more time to load all the data.so, it is better to have 100 or less.
oMatrix.AddRow()
RS = Nothing
RS = ocompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
RS.DoQuery("select ItemCode,ItemName from oitm")
oCombo = oMatrix.Columns.Item("ColumnUID").Cells.Item(oMatrix.RowCount).Specific
For i = 1 To RS.RecordCount
      If RS.EoF = False Then
            oCombo.ValidValues.Add(RS.Fields.Item("ItemCode").Value,RS.Fields.Item("ItemName").Value)
            RS.MoveNext()
      End If
Next
the above code is inserting data from database to column combobox.
you can fill combo directly also as shown below.
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("x","1")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("y","2")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("z","3")
oCombo.ValidValues.Add("","")
and what ever the values you are filling into combo should be unique.other wise it shows valid value exists.

Using the Combo Box

I am trying to use the combo box, so that the users can type as well as go through the drop down and pick there choice.
But I have three issues
1. Whats happening is as soon as I type it in and hit submit it will not do anything, until and unless I click on the drop down and then go and click submit.
2. The combo box is a text box and the numbers are not sorted, is there a way to sort numbers for a combo box
3. How do I make the selection appear as the user is typing, for example If I type in 55, it should bring all the entries starting with 55.
I am using Entrylist which is derived by a standard BAPI.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Naseer

Hi Marcel,
I have selected the action as "System Action" "Submit" "Self". But it still does not work.
The other thing is the COMBO box is a TEXT box and the Values are "NUMBER" values so even when I select "sort" at the Entrylist level it would not sort it properly, simply because COMBO BOX is a Text box.
Please let me know if I am clear enough in explaining myself.
Waiting for you reply..
Thanks a lot Marcel.

How do you use the combo box to populate a text box

I am a beginner when it comes to Java Script. I have viewed many different discussions, look at a lot of "help" articles dealing with Acrobat 9 and Java Script, but only to be left confused and dazed. I am hoping someone will be able to tell me how to write a script that will populate a text box that is on my form with the combo box selection's export value...
Thanks

If you want the text box to be read-only, just set it up with the following custom calculate script:
// Set this field value to the value of the combo box
event.value = getField("combo1").value;
but replace "combo1" with the actual name of the combo box field.
If you want something else, post again with more information.

HT202879 I have been using the linked boxes feature extensively in my layouts, and am most surprised that it has been dropped - WHY?

The linked boxes feature in Pages was one of my pet facilities, and a carryover from my days with MS Office's Publisher. I am most chargrined to find that when I converted my pages newsletter template to the latest version, the link had vanished. I first thought it was something I'd done, but now i learn that the feature was removed by the developers. When can i expect the feature to be restored?

LibreOffice 4.2.2.1:
To Link Text Frames
You can link Writer text frames so that their contents automatically flow from one frame to another.
1. Click the edge of a frame that you want to link. Selection handles appear on the edges of the frame.
2. On the Frame Bar, click the Link Frames icon .
3. Click the frame that you want to link to.
You can only link frames if:
The target frame is empty.
The target frame is not linked to another frame.
The source and the target frames are in the same section. For example, you cannot link a header frame to a footer frame.
The source frame does not have a next link.
The target or the source frame are not contained in each other.
When you select a linked frame, a line is displayed that connects the linked frames.

Questions about using the Voice Memos app

I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
-Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
-When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
-In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app. You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
App quality is excellent.

Question about using the JBIBRIDGE in MIDM project

I am in the process of implementing the ESB based MIDM. I am trying to use a JBIBridge in the process. I have 3 different projects that need to the PersonEJB in their JCD's. The question is do I use the same JBIBridge External Application in each of the connection maps? Then do I deploy those JBIBridges to the same JBIBRIDGE External System and add each of thos 3 deployment Profiles to the same Composite Application? Or do you create three seperate JBIBridge External Applications, Systems and Composite Application?

Regarding calls when roaming internationally, the following was copied from this link.
http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/international/roaming/faq.jsp
When your device is on:
Calls that you do not answer that are routed to the AT&T voicemail system will be charged as an international roaming incoming call to your device.
In addition, the foreign carrier's routing of that call to the AT&T voicemail system may generate an outgoing call charge from your device's location to the U.S.
These charges apply even if the caller disconnects from the voicemail system without leaving a message.

I just downloaded 18.0.1; but now I can't use the search box feature on Start Page.

Encouraged recently by Mozilla to update older software. Prior to this had no problem inputting information into the search box of Start Page, clicking "search" and then receiving information.
Now, clicking "Search" does not respond.

hello dkcurt, first please see if installing the search reset addon can resolve the issue: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ (a restart of the browser is necessary afterwards).
otherwise try the following steps in order to manually restore the search function on the default homepage:
#go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information and click on profile folder/show folder. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the file named '''chromeappsstore.sqlite'''.
#then enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''' - right-click and reset that entry to the default value.
#restart firefox

Question about using the Captivate KO

My colleague and I are trying to get our course published,
using the Captivate KO. (We have tried inserting the Captivate quiz
using ActiveX, but neither of us have any experience with ActiveX,
so this seemed to be the better option.)
We are trying to publish the Authorware file now to test it,
and are running into problems. We have to publish our courses so
they play over the web (for testing) and through Plateau LMS (for
students to receive credit for the classes). The file location for
our courses is a shared server.
When we publish the file, from the web, we can't see the
Captivate KO quiz at all, and from Plateau we get a Runtime error
when the quiz begins to play. Basically, it is a failure across the
board.
We are thinking the problem lies in the literal/relative path
question when we first upload the quiz into the KO. Does anyone
have any idea what the right method for this would be?
(Everything works when the file is on one of our hard drives,
and that person publishes the file. It plays just fine for that
person, from her hard drive. So, that's how we've narrowed it down
to a path problem, when we move it to the server.)
Thanks!

Hello,
You need to enter a valid Adobe ID, which consists of an e-mail address and your password. You can use the same ID as for the forum. The file to be reviewed will be stored on acrobat.com, reviewers get a link where they can download the file and the (free) Reviewer. It works fine.

A question about using the history tool after using the extraction tool in photoshop cs3..

For example:
http://www.layersmagazine.com/photoshop-...
When I use the history tool, it erases the image instead. Whats up with that?

G'day Chris
I can't tell from the link exactly which tutorial you mean!
If the original layer is a white background and the snapshot is set to this then the history tool will paint back white even if you then paste or drag an image onto the layer above this.
You would have to take a seperate snapshot of your image layer and set this layer as the snapshot you want the history tool to use before you start working on it.
One neat thing you can do is if you paint back some detail with the history brush you can immediately go to Edit > Fade and fine tune how much of the effect you want to apply.
Hope this helps.

John

Question about using the iPhone in Europe without making calls.

I wanted to know if I could use my iPhone on a trip to Europe. I don't plan to use the phone to make any kind of calls, just to check and send e-mail and maybe use a messenger to communicate.
Would I be charged in anyway? What steps could I take to avoid any.
Thank you.

Question about using the db DataSource

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySQLDB");
When I am calling the above code, is the DataSource going to be reused?
or it actually creating a new DataSource everytime?
Thanks.

If the code
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySQLDB");
entered inside the init method of Servlet or jsp . Data source can be reused again.
otherwise it is creater every time.

How to populate the combo boxes that are created dynamically in jsp

Hi,
I am using JSP.
I am creating combo boxes dynamically (based on the num selected by the user). These dynamically created combo boxes need to have A-Z as options (each box) . Now, when the user chooses the option A in any of the combo-boxes,the rest should not have this option. so on..
how do i achieve this.Kindly help.

You'll need to use JavaScript...I have a complicated example and a simple example, however, I cannot really understand the complex example but I know how it works. The looping is too complex for me.
First you'll need to populate a server side variable...depending on how often the data is updated you may want this to run each time a new session is created...this example is run each time Tomcat is started and the application context is initialized:
package kms.web;
// Servlet imports
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
// utility imports
import java.util.Map;
// domain imports
import kms.domain.LocationService;
import kms.domain.DeptService;
import kms.domain.PatentService;
* This listenter is used to initialize
* the Maps of Locations, Patents & Depts used to populate
* pulldown lists in JSPs
public class InitializeData implements ServletContextListener {
    * This method creates the Maps.
   public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
      ServletContext context = sce.getServletContext();
      LocationService lServ = new LocationService();
      // Create the Maps
      Map campuses = lServ.getCampuses();
      Map buildings = lServ.getBuildings();
      Map floors = lServ.getFloors();
      Map locs = lServ.getLocations();
      // And store them in the "context" (application) scope
      context.setAttribute("campuses", campuses);
      context.setAttribute("buildings", buildings);
      context.setAttribute("floors", floors);
      context.setAttribute("locs", locs);
      DeptService dServ = new DeptService();
      Map depts = dServ.getDepts();
      context.setAttribute("depts", depts);
      PatentService pServ = new PatentService();
      Map patents = pServ.getPatents();
      context.setAttribute("patents", patents);
      //I did this one myself
/*    CodeService cServ = new CodeService();
      Map masterMks = cServ.getCodes();
      context.setAttribute("masterMks", masterMks);
    * This method is necessary for interface.
   public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
   // I have no clue what the heck this is for???
   // Let me know if you do!
}So now we travel into the PatentService method called 'getPatents();' which in turn calls a PatentDAO method
Map patents = pServ.getPatents();
Below is the code for the PatentService object:
package kms.domain;
import kms.util.ObjectNotFoundException;
import java.util.*;
* This object performs a variety of dept services, like retrieving
* a dept object from the database, or creating a new dept object.
public class PatentService {
   * The internal Data Access Object used for database CRUD operations.
private PatentDAO patentDAO;
   * This constructor creates a Dept Service object.
public PatentService() {
    patentDAO = new PatentDAO();
public Map getPatents() {
      Map patents = null;
      try {
        patents = patentDAO.retrieveAll();
      // If the dept object does not exist, simply return null
      } catch (ObjectNotFoundException onfe) {
        patents = null;
      return patents;
}It may be useful for you to see the code of the Patent class:
package kms.domain;
/*** This domain object represents a dept.
public class Patent implements java.io.Serializable {
private int codeGgm;
private String name = "";
private String description = "";
private int creator;
private String creationDate = "";
private int used;
   * This is the full constructor.
public Patent(int codeGgm, String name, String desc, int creator, String creationDate, int used) {
    this.codeGgm = codeGgm;
    this.name = name;
    this.description = desc;
    this.creator = creator;
    this.creationDate = creationDate;
    this.used = used;
public Patent() { }
public int getCodeGgm() {
      return codeGgm;
public void setCodeGgm(int codeGgm) {
       this.codeGgm = codeGgm;
public String getName() {
    return name;
public void setName(String name) {
      this.name = name;
public String getDesc() {
    return description;
public void setDesc(String desc) {
      this.description = desc;
public int getCreator() {
      return creator;
public void setCreator(int creator) {
       this.creator = creator;
public String getCreationDate() {
      return creationDate;
public void setCreationDate(String creationDate) {
       this.creationDate = creationDate;
public int getUsed() {
       return used;
public void setUsed(int used){
       this.used = used;
}And here is the Database table which stores the Patents:
DESC PATENT:
CODE_GGM NUMBER(3)
NAME VARCHAR2(15)
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(250)
CREATOR NUMBER(10)
CREATION_DATE DATE
USED NUMBER(1)
So, we then travel into the code of the PatentDAO to see how the DAO object executes the DB query to get all of the Data we need for the select list:
package kms.domain;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import kms.util.*;
* This Data Access Object performs database operations on Patent objects.
class PatentDAO {
   * This constructor creates a Patent DAO object.
   * Keep this package-private, so no other classes have access
PatentDAO() {
* This method returns a Map of all the Dept names
* The key is the Dept id
Map retrieveAll()
     throws ObjectNotFoundException {
      Connection connection = null;
      ResultSet results = null;
      // Create the query statement
      PreparedStatement query_stmt = null;
      try {
        // Get a database connection
      Context initContext = new InitialContext();
       DataSource ds = (DataSource)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env/jdbc/keymanOracle");
       connection = ds.getConnection();
        // Create SQL SELECT statement
        query_stmt = connection.prepareStatement(RETRIEVE_ALL_NAMES);
        results = query_stmt.executeQuery();
        int num_of_rows = 0;
      Map patents = new TreeMap();
       // Iterator over the query results
        while ( results.next() ) {
            patents.put(new Integer(results.getInt("code_ggm")), results.getString("name"));
         if ( patents != null ) {
                return patents;
              } else {
                throw new ObjectNotFoundException("patent");
       // Handle any SQL errors
     } catch (SQLException se) {
        se.printStackTrace();
       throw new RuntimeException("A database error occured. " + se.getMessage());
    } catch (NamingException se) {
      throw new RuntimeException("A JNDI error occured. " + se.getMessage());
      // Clean up JDBC resources
      } finally {
        if ( results != null ) {
          try { results.close(); }
          catch (SQLException se) { se.printStackTrace(System.err); }
        if ( query_stmt != null ) {
          try { query_stmt.close(); }
          catch (SQLException se) { se.printStackTrace(System.err); }
        if ( connection != null ) {
          try { connection.close(); }
          catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(System.err); }
private static final String RETRIEVE_ALL_NAMES
      = "SELECT code_ggm, name FROM patent ";
}Now when you wish to use the 'combo box' (also called select lists), you insert this code into your jsp:
<TR>
<%@ include file="../incl/patent.jsp" %>
</TR>
depending on how your files on your server are organized, the "../incl/patent.jsp"
tells the container to look up one directory from where the main jsp is to find the 'patent.jsp' file in the 'incl' directory.
I need some help creating multi-level select lists with JavaScript:

This produces a related select list with 4 related lists by outputting JavaScript to the page being served. It works the same way as the first example that I describe but I don't understand the looping...maybe someone could explain how to go from the single select list to a double and/or triple level drill down?

The issue is, with our classrooms so close in proximity to one another, is there a way to pair teacher #1 iPad to its AppleTV without effecting/projecting onto the adjacent teachers #2 classroom AppleTV?

Not as such.
Give the AppleTV units unique names and also enable Airplay password in settings with unique passwords for each teacher.

Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.
