Script UI Listbox Values

I think I have been looking at this too long, the weird thing is it kind of works.
I have created a script that finds the headers in a tab-delimited text file, allows the user to choose the headers they want (from a listbox), takes them to another window that allows them to rearrange the list to be in the order the user wants (thank you Peter Kahrel for the ScriptUI beginner's guide), allow the user to choose whether a tab, forced line break, etc. follows the field and show everything in a preview window (edittable text box).
I'm stuck. When I try to pull the chosen fields out of the list box I run into problems - but the values are there. If I simply do an alert on each value of the array I get the field name no problem (last name, first name). However, if I try to assign the value to a string to populate the preview window with I get the index numbers (0,1).
I'm at a absolute loss as to why this is not working. I have tried everything I can think of and read every disucssion I can find. The preView function is below. Any help would be appreciated.
function preView (selFields){
    if (selFields instanceof Array){
        pop_etext="";
        for (var i=0; i < selFields.length; i++){
//~             pop_etext = pop_etext + selFields[i];
            alert(selFields[i]);

Just add on toString() or "" +
i.e. selFields[i].toString() or "" + selFields[i]

Programmatic change in multicolumn listbox value ignored by internal key event handler

The attached LabVIEW 8.5 vi demonstrates a problem I noticed using multicolumn listboxes. Upon changing the value (selected row) of the listbox programmatically, the very next press of the up or down arrow key behaves as if the value was never changed. For example, if the 3rd row is selected and then the listbox value is changed programmatically via a local variable or the value property to select the 0th row, pressing the down arrow key should now select the 1st row, but instead the 4th row is selected.
A workaround is to handle the Key Down? event myself as I've demonstrated in the attachment, but if this is a bug, I hope it can be corrected in a future release.

Hi Larry,
Pnt is correct and this is a known bug and relates to how the current row/ active row is handled when changing the values programmatically. Perhaps if you post your code we both can have a look and provide additional guidance.
Alternatively this forum post is related to your work around for using the event handler.

Dashboard - ListBox value to populate into Table

hi,
I'm creating a dashboard using a listbox that will need to populate the value into a table/result section. Is this possible?
The value from the listbox do not come from the database, it is manually enter into the listbox. Once the user select the listbox value it need to populate into table or result section. It need to display on the report and maintain the value until future changes.
Kindly advise will Hyperion 9.3.1 able to do that...?
Thank you.

Not really what a Query and Analysis tool is designed to do.
If you really need IR to do this then look at using SendSQL to update a database table.

How do I script a listbox to display doc pdf file attachments (originally jpegs) in a one page document being viewed in a Reader or Acrobat?

I have placed a listbox on a one page pdf doc to select and display any of several pdf attachments (originally jpegs). What javascripting will do this? I have tried openDataObject and getDataObjectContents (feeding them the listbox "export value" which is the name of the attached file. Code runs without exception, but no attachment displays?

I don't know of any way to do what you want using the 'open' command. It can probably be done with Applescript, which you could call from a shell script. The Preview application doesn't seem to be scriptable. I don't use Acrobat, so I can't tell you anything about that. Looking through the dictionaries of the apps I do have, it seems that Skim (another PDF viewer) has an AS 'page' class. Below are a couple of links that may get you started. Look for more specific guidance in Applescript forums.

Custom Calculation Script to copy value of a field

Hi,
      I'm trying to copy the value of a field into another field and display it in the pdf. This is for the 1099's. We are trying to print 2 copies(Copy B and Copy 2) in one page. The first field will come from the XML file. I need to copy the value of this field into the second field. Can anyone please help me with the calculation script for this. I tried the getField.value and it didn't work in the pdf. Thanks.
With Regards,
Satishpdf.

Hi,
There are a couple of approaches.
One would be to put the script in the radio buttons that when clicked would do the calculate and set the value of the numeric field.
Another would be to have the script in the calculate event of the numeric field looking back at the value of the radio button. Taking this approach the script in the numeric field calculate event would look like this:
if (radioButton.rawValue == 1) // radio button bound to 1 is on/yes
     this.rawValue = ; // your calculation goes here
else
     this.rawValue = null;
This is testing the value of the radio button and then taking appropriate calculations.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Multicolumn listbox value change and mouse up event in one case of event structure

Hello All,
Am facing two problems:
1. I have two multicolumn events, one is value change for deleting the rows of Multicolumn listbox and another one is mouse up for sorting the columns. But I can't combine both the events in one case. And if I create two separate cases then each time the event of mouse up executes and sorting takes place irrespective of selection of delete event.
2. I have a selection VI in which user selects which parameter he wants to show it in a multicolumn listbox. I want this parameters to be retain or stored when next time I run the VI after closing it.
Am using LabVIEW 11. Pls reply soon.
Thanks & Regards,
Manisha

Sap script: Printing the values got from work area in a row

Hi ,
I need to print the values which I m getting from a work area like
A1 A2
A3 A4
and so on
but I m getting it as
A1
A2
A3
A4.
Any solutions to this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vivek

Dear vivek,
how is your work are structure - is it only with single field ?
In your script after the each value give an extended line comman "=" which will take first and second values for print and after the second value give "line feed" or "carriage return" command.
Hope this solves your problem

Need a script to change value in the Local Hostname

Help! Want to change the Local Hostname because DynamicDNS has mess up 250 machines. Any ideas???????
I need a UNIX script to to change the Value of
/library/preference/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
<key>LocalHostName</key>
<string>Value</string>
in Apple Remote Desktop.
I think you use the grep command

Hi CIO,
   Perl will perform the moving of files for you for free but otherwise, awk is completely up to the task and to my thinking easier to use. This assumes that the property list is text which isn't a good assumption. If the property list is binary, you would need plutil to convert it. Anyway, here's my script:
cat /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist | awk '{ if ( $0 ~ /<key>LocalHostName<\/key>/ ) { print; getline; sub(/<string>[^>*<\/string>/,"<string>New Value</string>"); print } else { print } }' > temp.plist
mv /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist .
mv temp.plist /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
The "mv" lines above will doubtless require superuser privileges.

How do I script a listbox so multiple selections can be recognized?

I have a pdf project that lets the user make selections from a listbox, and then those selections determine which fields on the page are shown or hidden. I've made sure the listbox allows for multiple selections but I can't get the scripting to recognize and show multiple fields. So far it only works when one item is selected. How do I make it so when the user selects multiple entries that it will actually cause multiple fields to show?
I've included file to show what I've gotten done so far.

Sorry, realized my other posts question wasn't phrased very well and I figured you thought my question had been answered. So I posted it again with a better explanation of what I needed.
Thanks for your help.

Action script and default values

While importing data through action script, even if the property value present in Action script is same as default value defined at the property level , DRM marks that property value as Overridden in the hierarchy.
Is there any possible way to avoid this?

Default value is set when no value is entered for the property. As soon as you enter a value for the property thru action script or manually, its overridden even though the value is the same which was set at the property level
Right click on the property and do a remove value then the icon should be set to default again.
If you want to restore multiple properties back to default, then use remove all below at the rollup level

Script writes triple values

Hi,
I have a simply script that writes data from one model to another:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ICDATASRC = IC_INPUT
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CURRENCY = LC
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CONSOSCOPE = G_NONE
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %TIME_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET ICRENTITY = %ICRENTITY_SET%
*DESTINATION_APP = LEGAL
*SKIP_DIM = ICDATASRC
*ADD_DIM DATASRC = DS_INPUT
*RENAME_DIM ICRENTITY = ENTITY
*RENAME_DIM ICRINTCO = INTCO
*WHEN CURRENCY
*IS LC
*REC(EXPRESSION = %VALUE%, ICRENTITY = ICRENTITY.LEGAL_ENTITY, ICRINTCO = ICRINTCO.LEGAL_INTCO)
*ENDWHEN
When I run this script as a package via Excel it writes three times the value it should write. So, if in the source model I have a value of 100 then the script writes 300 into the destination model.
This log is from having more than one value in the source system:

ENDWHEN ACCUMULATION: 8 RECORDS ARE GENERATED.
What confuses me is the 24 records queried out. I think I can explain them as follows:
I have entered 1 value in LC
The account based calculation business rule has added another one in LC (one additional flow)
The currency conversion has added another 2 (both flows converted to EUR)
The ICDATA script has added another 2 (additonal audit)
So for each 1 value entered I have six in the database, times 4 value entered equals 24.
Of those I would expect 2 to be transferred to the other model (only the LC on IC_INPUT). In the destination model I only have data on those members (LC and DS_INPUT) but the values are tripled.
Would anyone have any idea why this might happen?
Thanks,
Arnold

ScriptUI: How to update Listbox values? (CC2014)

Is there way to update listbox element that filled with JS array elements. If I push more elements to the array, how I can re-render it in ScriptUI? Is there way to do this.
I know there is way just to add elements to listbox like in Peter Kahrel's PDF. But this isn't so dynamic:
var w = new Window ("dialog");
var myList = w.add ("listbox", undefined, ["one", "two", "three"]);
var b = w.add ("button", undefined, "Add");
b.onClick = function () {myList.add ("item", "zero", 0)}
w.show ();
How about if I wan't to update listbox when I have changed my arrays, like below:
// Create example array
var testArr = ['item1', 'item2']
$.writeln(testArr.length);
startGUI();
function startGUI() {
    // Window
    var win = new Window( "palette", script_name, undefined, { resizeable:true } );
    win.orientation = "column";
    win.alignChildren = ["fill", "fill"];
    // Listbox
    var myListbox = win.add ("listbox", undefined, testArr,
        numberOfColumns: 1,
        showHeaders: true,
        columnTitles: ['Name']
    // Add Item To Array
    var addItem = win.add("button", undefined, "Add Item");
    addItem.onClick = function() {
        testArr.push ('item3');
        $.writeln(testArr.length);
    // Quit BTN
    win.quitBtn = win.add("button", undefined, "Close");
    win.quitBtn.onClick = function() {
        win.close();
    win.show();
Maybe there is some update funtion on ScriptUI. I tried to search solution without success. Any help?

I updated your own script to show how I removed the listbox

How to display data depend upon ListBox value?

Hi Experts and Particularly Hema,
As I asked before how to display data in the ListBox, I got an very good response from you all(particularly Hema) .
Now what my doubt is asked with sample scenario below:
In Screen Painter -
Two fields namely : One List Box and other is I/O used only for displaying purpose i.e., only for output, not for input purpose.
List Box is filled by primary key field(C1) value from one table(T1) when the screen load.(i.e., such code is written in PBO).
Now what I need is :
If the user select any one value in the List Box then it automatically display the corresponding C2 value from T1 in the I/O field.
I think you may all understand what I am trying to ask.Please let me know the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Raghu

Simply attached a function code for the listbox... when the user changes the value, you will be able to pick this up in the PAI and loop back to the PBO and redisplay the corresponding output field.
