Reduce or eliminate arrow in combo box

I am using Acrobat Pro 8 and my users are on Standard 7, both on a Windows XP or 2000 OS. I am trying to find out if it's possible to remove, or reduce in size, the annoying gray arrow on the right of a combo box field. When viewed on a monitor, it obscures the entry for our smaller sized fields. I have searched the Acrobat and Javascript forums with no success. Thanks,

I'm stuck with a combo box as it contains some formatting javascript. Thanks anyway,
Robert

How to reduce the weight of a combo box in a jsp

hi friends,
i have developed a jsp form in which i have placed some combo box and i am using ajax concept for loading the details for a field just above the combo box.
my problem is that when the ajax loads the records in the form it comes above the combo box .there,the combo box is coming above the ajax listings and hides the records displayed by ajax.can anybody help me to solve this problem of combo box.

<td class="label">Cash bank general</td><td>
<html:select property="accledgeractionform.ledgercbg" styleId="cmbcbg" styleClass="inputbox" style=" width : 130px" tabindex="14" onfocus="setStatusMessage('Select cash bank general')" >
<html:option value="" styleId="cmbCashBankGeneral">
</html:option>
<html:option value="C">Cash</html:option>
<html:option value="B">Bank</html:option>
<html:option value="G">General</html:option>
like this i have created the combo box.
but it is displayed above the results displayed by the ajax.
i thought that since combo box is a heavy weight component its weight must be reduced.help me about that

In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

In iMovie 11 small gaps in clips seem to transition nicely, but how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps? I can't find a way to move the clips together.

I'm intrigued by this!
Can you explain further what the gaps look like when you export the movie. Are there black spaces, for example? You mentioned earlier that "it jumps quickly between clips that I edited which gives it a jerky appearance at those transitions". So you are possibly just seeing a change in sudden movement when moving from one clip to another.
I've noticed when shooting with my AVCHD camcorder that if I quickly move the camera straight after pressing the record button to stop recording, a jerky movement appears when played back. This is because the camera is still recording for a fraction of a second after pressing the button, that is, there is a slight delay before actual recording stops on the hard drive (unlike a tape based camera).
I simply edit out these annoying movements. When hovering the pointer over the beginning or end of a clip, a small icon appears, shaped like a left/right arrow. Click on the icon and a small section of the clip end (or beginning if editing the start point) will be partly encased in an orange border. You can then drag the border's handle inwards in increments of one frame, up to one second duration. Repeat this if you wish to trim more than one second. I find this better for short trimming than just dragging the clip ends inwards and using Trim to Selection from the pop-up menu, as it is quicker and has more precision. To enable this feature, in iMovie > Preferences - Browser tab, check the box labelled "Show Fine Tuning controls".
Of course, this may not be what you are seeing. But I can't really envisage what you mean by "how do I reduce or eliminate the larger gaps", as there should be no gaps, as explained by AppleMan1958. Could you please provide some more information, or include a screenshot of what you are describing.
To take a screenshot, press the key combination Command+Shift+4 - a crosshair will appear on screen. Drag this diagonally across the section you want to capture. A .png image file will appear on the Desktop. When posting here you will see a camera icon in the reply window's menu bar. Click on the camera icon then follow the steps provided (it lets you navigate to the image). Sorry if you already know this!

IPhone SDK - What is the equivalent of a combo box

I have a screen where there are quite a few items which are of the multiple-choice type. In other platforms i use a combo box (pick lists) to do this.
On the iPhone SDK the only thing that comes close is the UIPicketView which is ugly IMHO. it takes too much real estate and too heavy.
Is this is the only control available now?
Also does the UIPicker come with an associated control which will launch the picker? What i mean is on other platforms and on the web there is a text field with a button with a down arrow next to it. Clicking either on the text field or the down arrow drops the list down. Is there a similar control on the iPhone which when clicked launches the picker OR do i have to create a button or a custom view which will launch the picker?
Thanks for reading this and for your feedback.

I do not believe there is an equivalent of -D in the DB JVM, a possible solution is:
Load a properties file into the DB using Loadjava, then open this file from your Java code using Properties.load(), then iterate the properties calling System.setProperty().

How to modify a combo box for touch panel operation?

Hi,
I'm developping a touch panel controled application.
The first step of the application is user log-in. My application has a small database of names that the user can access via the drop down menu of a combo box.
My problem is that the arrows and the slider of the vertical scroll bar are way too small to be fingers-operated:
Is there a way to modify the size of this scrollbar so that it's not too small for the operators' fingers?
Best regards,
peper

Hello peper,
As far as I know this is not directly possible (a least not with the control editor).
If you want to, you could also create your own "adapted" control yourself through an XControl.
This one can then (for example) combine a name input, a button and a listbox (with a big vertical scrollbar).
Or is this too far fetched?

Disabled combo boxes don't display properly after loading a movie.

Hi,
I have a main movie that contains some combo boxes. Some of them may be disabled.
By pressing a button I load another movie using loadMovie. The loaded movie also contains combo boxes.
When the button is pressed, the clip that shows the combo boxes is removed from the stage and the loaded movie is displayed. By pressing another button, the loaded movie is unloaded and the clip with the combo boxes is displayed again.
Well, once the other movie has been loaded, when I go back to the clip with combo boxes, the disabled combo boxes have a small gray button covering the black down arrow.
I have determined that so long as the loaded movie contains combo box in the library, the problem occurrs, even if there is no actual instance of it.
The combo boxes that are not disabled are not affected. The combo boxes are disabled by setting "cb_name.enabled=false".
If the combo box is enabled, it displays correctly, but if disabled again, it goes wrong again.
My project is targeting Flash 8, so it uses AS2.
I'm using Flash CS4.
This is a very simple example I did to make sure I wasn't doing anything funny:
Initially:
After pressing the button:
After pressing the other button:
The behaviour in a web browser is the same...
I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response.
The "Load the movie" button:
on(click)
    _parent.gotoAndStop(2);
The 2nd frame:
loadMovie("Test another child.swf",Container);
stop();
The "Unload and go back" button:
on(click)
    unloadMovie(_parent.Container);
    _parent.gotoAndStop(1);
Container is a movieClip with a dark gray square shape the size of the movie clip that is loaded. It doesn't exist on frame 1, only on frame 2.
The combo boxes are inside a movie clip, and this is only on the stage on frame 1.
This and the captures belong to a very simple test I did. If there is a way of posting files, I can post a zip file with the two .fla and the two .swf.

Combo boxes appear in reverse and info cannot be read when selected

Half of my combo boxes appear normal and half appear with the drop down arrow on the right side of the box. the choices, when selected, appear above the arrow and are barely legible. some of the boxes appear perfectly normal and some are like this with no apparent reason as to why. I have not changed combo box settings through the duration of my project to make this happen, so it appears random. . . I have already done hundreds of pages and need to go back and check all of these again but need to do it right this time!
any help would be great,
thanks all

My mistake, the combo boxes in question are appearing inverted where the arrow appears on the left side facing upwards. and the answers, when chosen, appear above that arrow and are cut off by the top edge of the combo box.
i also just found out that it does not happen in some pdf viewers. when viewed in adobe reader or google chrome it's fine, but when viewed in Mac Preview the inverted arrow happens.
could there be a bug in preview?
thanks for the responses guys!

Question abt. combo box and database

Hi. I have two combo boxes, A and B. Items in A is obtained from table X, Items in B is obtained from table Y. But, the problem is that whatever appears in combo box B should not contain those in combo box A. How do i go about doing this? Note that values in table X come from values in table Y.Here's an example:
(this is I currently have)
Combo X             Combo Y
Apple            Mango
Orange           Kiwi Fruit
Pineapple        Apple
Kiwi Fruit
Mango          (this is I WANT)
Combo X                  Combo Y
Orange                  Mango
Pineapple               Kiwi Fruit
                        ApplePlease help and thanks in advance.

hi....
First of all, I've designed the two combo boxes with Add/Delete buttons in the GUI. I'm using JSP to retrieve values from database table into my combo boxes.
Actually, I have the two combo boxes already. I have already got the items inserted into combo A from table X using JSP. I am thinking of getting all the values in combo box B from the table Y first, then maybe store them in an array or something, b4 comparing those values with that from combo box A, eliminate those existing in combo box A, and the rest will be stored in combo B.
I do not know exactly how to store values i obtained from table to an array and how to compare arrays.
hope u understand what i'm trying to say, please help if possible, thanks.

Question on Combo Box

I have a form with Master (Single Record ) and Detail ( Multi Record ) blocks. There is a Combo Box in Header block. When I select a value from Combo box ( When list changed ) detail block records are to re queried. Similarly when I enter some value manulally and by pressing tab/enter key ( Key Next Item) , the detail records are to re queried.
While entering a value with Key board, the trigger When-List-Changed trigger is firing for each letter I'm typing. Is there any work around solution for this?

Quote:I think it will be nice to close the editor if we click again on the down arrow or the cell without selecting any item in the combobox, so that users can see original cell view
Your opinion collides with the opinion of other users that say they want to keep the combobox active to see what is underneath the open dropdown to open it again.
Adding your code to the iconCanvas in NatCombo breaks the behavior on clicking the down arrow. At least in my workspace. I don't know of which version we are talking about and which codebase you have. But hideDropDownControl() does not close the editor, it only hides the dropdown. This can't be the solution.
What you need is to override mouseDown() to close the editor instead of hiding it.
BTW, with this change you remove the ability to move the focus to the text control to allow editing.

Combo box properties

I have a form with a combo box. What I want the combo box to do is to allow the user to select a value from Table A Field A and put the value from Table A Field B into Table B Field A. I have made various changes to the properties for the Combo
box and have been unable to get the behavior I want.
The setting below takes the TableAFieldA value selected and puts the value into TableBFieldA.
What should the properties be set to select TableAFieldA, put TableAFieldB into TableBFieldA?
Here is how my properties are set:
gwboolean

I'm not sure what happened, but there's nothing for us to see...
However, you want to double-bind the ComboBox (that's probably not a real term). Essentially there are two layers upon which you can apply databinding to the ComboBox. The first is through the DataSource and ValueMember properties. These
would point to TableA and FieldB (the DisplayMember would point to FieldA). Once that is set, you go to the top of the properties grid for the ComboBox and expand the (DataSources) node. Then use the dropdown arrow next to the Value property to
select TableB as the data source and FieldA as the data member.
This binds the list contents of the ComboBox to TableA and the selected value to TableB. I believe that is what you are asking for.

Can I use an LOV with a Combo Box?

... and if so, how?
This should be easy, but I've been searching for over an hour now and I keep getting instruction on how to do each individually, but not how to put them together for the desired behavior.
My goal is to have a combo box (single line text field with a drop down arrow) that, when the user clicks the arrow, displays a list populated from a column in the data base and the user selects a value.

Thanks in advance,

Why don't you create a record group and populate that record group into the list item on runtime?

Combo box background

I have created a custom UI for my combo box but I have set its opaque property to false. The reason for this is that I have created my own arrow button image which requires transparancy between itself and the renderer. I need the listbox/label to have a white background but I have been unsuccessful in setting it as such. How can I have an translucent combo box yet have a white list/label?

Hi;
This isn't something FormsCentral supports.
Thanks,

Padding on combo box

I am trying to increase the top and bottom spacing on button and combo box type components using CSS, assuming that the same font and font size is used then I would like the components to all be the same height. However, I have run into a couple of difficulties.
Firstly, I can't find a way to pad combo box and choice components. The following CSS will size the combo box correctly but push down the selected cell text.
.combo-box .list-cell {
-fx-padding: 6 6 6 6;
Padding around the arrow button doesn't seem to work either. Secondly, adding a graphic node to a button or menu button increases it's size by 2 pixels. Am I missing a property somewhere?
The current CSS can be found at: https://github.com/JFXtras/jfxtras-styles/blob/master/src/brume/brume.css
Many Thanks
Andy

I am trying to set the height as part of the skin so no extra changes are needed. Some controls allow it but combo box doesn't seem to, wondering if the other controls allow it by coincident but this isn't the intention for CSS.

Combo box update

How do you get the value of a combo box as the operator scrolls thru the list with the arrow keys? Combo box updates once the operator presses enter but I would like the value in real-time.
Thanks,
Paul
I have attached a very small example I am working with. I need it to work with the event structure in order for it to be implemented into my current software.

Hi Novatronics,
You could try replacing it with a Dialog Ring?

Combo Box - Forms 4.5

Hi,
Is there a simple way to "inactivate" the arrow button that is part of a list item field (combo box) or prevent the user from selecting a list item by the mouse? I want to prevent them from accessing this field under certain conditions. There are multiple records displayed on the screen so my question applies to preventing access to the current record as well as the remaining records that do not meet a certain condition.
Thanks.

I am not sure about forms 4.5 as i have never used it but in
forms 6i yes u can. What u do is write a Block Lever trigger
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE.
Depending on certain conditions u can enable or disable the combo list for eg say my detail block is say DTL_BLOCK and the item name is ITEM_COMBO
If <First Column in Block> IS NOT NULL Then
     If <Some Condition> Then
          SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DTL_BLOCK.ITEM_COMBO', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
          SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DTL_BLOCK.ITEM_COMBO', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE);
Elsif <Another Condition> Then
          SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DTL_BLOCK.ITEM_COMBO', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
          SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DTL_BLOCK.ITEM_COMBO', INSERT_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
     End If;
End If;
I Hope this will solve u'r problem. For further clarification pls feel free to mail me at [email protected]
