Sizing dropdown lists

v11.1.1.4
I have several pages that have multiple dropdown lists (af:selectOneChoice). Each list is sizing differently, based on the size of the data that is in the list, making the form look very uneven. How can I get these to all show up the same size? I'm guessing there's something I can put in my stylesheet, but I'm not sure which setting.
Many thanks for any suggestions.

Hi.
sets the width with the contentStyle property, contentStyle="width:300px"

Generate Comp based on dropdown list and checkbox selection?

I currently have a dropdown list with three sizing options in it. Then I have two check mark boxes, one if checked ideally would create the template at its normal composition size and if the other checkbox is checked it would inverse the widthxheight of the composition size. Then below that I have a "generate" button that I want to be able to click and depending on my selections it creates the comp.
It sounds like I need some sort of if then statement but I'm having a hard time putting the two together. See below what I have so far.
There may be parts missing but I have it all working in a decibel pallate currently. I just don't have the functionality tied to a button yet.
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
(also I don't know how to format the extend script on here so apologies for that)
// palette controls
templateGen.VerticalCheckbox     = new Object();
templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox    = new Object();
// define values for the controls
templateGen.comLookup            = new Object();
templateGen.compLookup          = 'Template1';
templateGen.compLookup          = 'Template2';
templateGen.compLookup          = 'Template3';
function templateGen_getHashValues(hash)
var ary = new Array();
for (k in hash) {
ary.push(hash[k]);
return ary;
// "composition" menu
   var panelGrp1 = templateGen.palette.add('Panel', undefined, 'Comp Templates');
compGrp1 = panelGrp1.add('group', undefined, 'Templates List');
compGrp2 = panelGrp1.add('group', undefined, 'Orientation');
compGrp3 = panelGrp1.add('group', undefined, 'Generate');
templateGen.compList                                             = compGrp1.add('dropdownlist', LIST_DIMENSIONS, templateGen_getHashValues(bapple.compLookup));
templateGen.compList.helpTip                                = "Choose the type device template you want here. All comps are 60fps.";
templateGen.compList.selection                             = 'Template1';
templateGen.compList.graphics.foregroundColor = darkColorBrush;
templateGen.VerticalCheckbox                           = compGrp2.add('checkbox', undefined, 'Vertical');
templateGen.VerticalCheckbox .value = true;
templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox                          = compGrp2.add('checkbox', undefined, 'Horizontal');
templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox .value = false;
templateGen.generateBtn1      = compGrp3.add('button', undefined, 'Generate');
//applyBtn.onClick =????;

When I work with dropdowns I always like to attach the data they represent (like width and height of the comp in this case) directly to the items.
I didn't execute the code to really check it, but it should work like this:
// add templates to your dropdown and store the items in an array
var templates = [];
templates[0] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template1');
templates[1] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template2');
templates[2] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template3');
// attach a width and height to each item
templates[0].width= 1280;
templates[0].height= 720;
templates[1].width= 1024;
templates[1].height= 768;
templates[2].width= 1920;
templates[2].height= 1080;
// choose the item that should be selected by default
templates[0].selected = true;
applyBtn.onClick = function(){
        // read the width and height from the selected item
        var width = templateGen.compList.selection.width;
        var height =templateGen.compList.selection.height;
        if(templateGen.VerticalCheckbox.value){
              // swap width and height
              var temp = width;
              width = height;
              height = temp;
        // now create your comp here with the given width and height

TabNavigator: Tabs have a dropdown list

I want to create a TabNavigator, in which some of the tabs
contain a dropdown list. When those tabs are clicked, the
dropdown list is displayed and you can select one of the
items in the list. The display will change after the selection.
Is there is simple way to do it within TabNavigator?

I don't think you want a TabNavigator then. The tabs in a
TabNavigator are used to, on click, switch through a view stack for
instance.
Seems like you could do what you wanted without a
TabNavigator at all. Place some labels at the top (styled like tabs
if you so desire), on click use an Effect to show a canvas sized as
your desired subnav (wipe down from the label you clicked, move it
via animation, bounce, etc).

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 create a dropdown list to list the values from two different tables?

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
1. I have to create a dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of a table.
2. Another dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of another table.
3. A text box should help me to add the selected values.
How to get this done in a PDF? Please help.

Is this a LC form? Because Acrobat forms have no concept of tables, just
individual fields...

Get unique values from Parent List in Dropdown List SPServices

I have a dropdown list created using the SPServices ($().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns). It works as it should, I just need to add a requirement. I need to be able to filter the Parent Lookup list to show only unique values.
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipList: "ROInsComp",
relationshipListParentColumn: "AIP-RY",
relationshipListChildColumn: "NameAndCode",
parentColumn: "AIP-RY",
childColumn: "NameAndCode",
debug: true});
The issue is that in AIP-RY I have stored Years and each year could be repeated several times
I followed some of the recommendations from this blog:
GetListItems Unique Values
I this is what I tried:
$.ajax({
url: weburl+'https://my-site/_layouts/filter.aspx?ListId='+escape('{544C8B6A-C9B3-4BA‌D-B9CF-B032E5FD07DB}')+'&FieldInternalName='+"AIP-RY" + '&ViewId='+escape('{4B433420-156F-4F4F-9E3C-551DC43B593C}')+'&FilterOnly=1&Filte‌r=1',
success: function(data) {
alert('It worked!');}
No luck so far! Thanks!
EM

Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure this would work: SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
only works (as far as I know) for elements from the same list.

Calculating dynamic values from dropdown lists

Hi all, here's the noob question of the day
I'm creating an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and I'm totally stuck at tax calculations:
for each product you're able to choose between two tax percentages from a dropdown list and, at the end of the form, I want to show a total amount of each tax.
product
qty
unit price
vat
net price
red shoes pack
2
20$
4%
40$
black shoes pack
1
25$
4%
25$
white umbrella
1
10$
7%
10$
total net price
75$
+ TAX 4%
2.60$
+ TAX 7%
0.70$
Total
78.30$
How can I set the + TAX 4% and + TAX 7% fields to grab their respective product rows?
Sorry for my bad english.. I hope you get the question!

You woudl have to look at each row inside of a for loop and then determine if that row had 4% or 7% tax. Then you coudl keep a running total of the tax for you calcultions such that when the for loop ended you would have the 4 and 7% totals calculated.
Make sense?

I want to access the options in the context menu when clicking on a dropdown list in the bookmarks toolbar, but the context menu disappears when I try to click on one of the options. How can I keep the menu from disappearing?

I have several dropdown lists in my bookmarks toolbar and would like to access the properties for some of the the items. This used to work fine. However, now, when I go to the list and place the cursor on a particular item, the context menu that is usually available on a right click disappears when I try to access one of the options. This is the menu that begins with Open. What can I do to regain this functionality? I really need the information in the Properties section. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

Difference between Combo Box and Dropdown List

Hi All,
I would like to know the difference between the elements 'Combo box' and 'Dropdown List' in VC. I am facing an issue where i am invoking an entry list and the output of the first element the entry list returns is getting reflected as the output for all the elements...
So even if 2nd and 3rd row of the o/p from the entry list is giving only 2 items, if the 1st row returns only 1 then we are able to see only 1 item. Its as if the 1st row decides the items to be returned for all the rows.
Please help.

Hi Hezi,
I have 2 columns in my table. First column is 'material number' and the 2nd one is 'production version'. There can 1,2 or 3 production version for each material. [This information is stored in the backend] This is retrieved through a method which invokes a bapi which in turn retrieves from the backend.
I have provided a dropdown list for the 'production version' column. Lets say there are 2 rows. Material 1 and material 2. Lets say material 1 has 1 production version and material 2 has 2 production version. So rightfully speaking i should have 1 option in the dropdown for material 1 and 2 for material 2.
But what i seeing is only 1 option for both the materials. This is wrong.
Is there something that can be done to ensure that each row reflects the correct no. of options in the dropdown?

Sounds like a PCD Permissions issue. Try assigning Read Access permissions to Everyone group for the following items:
1) the Folder containing the iView and/or
2) the application itself

How do I populate one dropdown list based on the selection in another dropdown list?

I have one dropdown list that has 21 choices. Depending on the selection of those 21 choices, I have another dropdown list that will select a different subset of choices from a pool of 96 choices. How do I get this to happen?

How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.
