Value drop down list control in ADOBE Form

We are on SP16 currently. We are developing an ADOBE interactive online
form using ABAP WebDynpro.
To display search help of a few fields like Vendor Number, G/L Account
Number, Cost Center, we are using 'Value Help Drop Down List' control
availalbe in WebDynpro Native group.
After the form gets loaded on the broswer, first time the search help
control works absolutely fine for any of the field. But only once. Once
one search help gets displayed, none of the other search value drop
down control gets clicked. But please note that normal drop down (with
fixed values) gets clicked and allows to choose any entry from it. It
also allows to enter values into other text box controls. Only Search
Value Drop Down list stops working.
For Example: We have 2 search help drop down list controls (one for
LIFNR and another for WERKS) and 1 drop down list control (Fixed Values
to be displayed for selection).
After form gets displayed on ABAP WebDynpro, if we click on LIFNR, the
search help for LIFNR will come and it will allow to select vendor
number from it. But after that, it doesn't allow to select WERKS nor
even to LIFNR. If we click on WERKS first, it will work perfactly fine
but then, it will not allow LIFNR or WERKS after that. In any of the
case, it will always allow to select the values from Fixed Value Drop
down list.
Please note that we dont have SAP Portal into the landscape.
Is there any bug in the control?
Please provide the solution ASAP.

Hi Reema,
We are using ZCI type of form. So, I dont think there is any need to run the report for ZCI_Update.
And the display type of Interactive Form in ABAP WebDynpro is 'NATIVE' which is the same we dragged the control from (WebDynpro Native).
Is there any work around to display search helps on ADOBE Interactive forms apart of this control?
Appreciate your quick answer.
Thanks & Regardss,
Sandip Kamdar

[Forum FAQ] The Value drop down list is grayed out when you perform search for Group Policy Objects in GPMC

Symptom
On Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2, when you use the Search for Group Policy Objects feature in GPMC, the “Value” field is not populated when you choose “User Configuration” as the Search Item. (See Figure 1.)
<Figure 1>
Cause
The happens because the Data of the (Default) value of the following Registry Key is not correct.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
By default the Data is (value not set). (see Figure 2)
<Figure 2>
Resolution
The registry keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions] are the Group Policy Preference Client Side Extensions. The CSE name of the GUID {4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6} is
RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. Please follow the steps below to resolve the issue.
1. Locate the registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions\{4D2F9B6F-1E52-4711-A382-6A8B1A003DE6}]
2. Take the ownership of this key: Right click on the registry key and choose Permissions option and click the Advanced button on the dialogue window. Then on the Advanced Security Settings dialogue window, click Change button to take the ownership
of the key for the current logon account and make the current logon account Full Control permission with the registry key. (See Figure 3.)
<Figure 3>
3. Change the data of (Default) value from "(value not set)" to
"RemoteApp and Desktop Connection Component". (See Figure 4)
<Figure 4>
4. Once the steps above are completed, the Value drop down list will be populated again when you perform Search in GPMC. (See Figure 5)

Drop down lists are active in form received by email

Hello,
I have a form with drop down lists and the form is set so that when the user submits it, the PDF form is sent, not the XML file. The problem is that when I receive the PDF form, the drop down lists are active and I can change the items in the list. Is there a way to disable this so that when the PDF form is received no changes to the form can be made?
Thank you.

I think you need to have a flag in a hidden field that indicates that the form has been submitted. You could set that flag on the form's pre-submit event. On the form's initialize event, check the flag. If it's been set (i.e. the form has been submitted before), programatically lock down the form. Here's a tidy little (untested) recursive function that locks down the form: lockDown(xfa.form.nodes); function lockDown(oNodes) { for (var i=0; i<oNodes.length; i++) { if (oNodes.item(i).className == "subform") lockDown(oNodes.item(i).nodes); else oNodes.item(i).access = "readOnly"; } } Jared Langdon http://www.jlangdon.ca

How to populate data in drop down box dynamically in adobe form?

Dear Experts.
I am new to adobe interactive form can anybody please tell me how to fill data in a drop down box dynamically? I am using webservices method.
Thanks in advance.
Chitta Ranjan Mahato
Edited by: mahato123 on Aug 5, 2011 12:16 PM

you can create a method to populate the context attribute that you are using to map to your dropdown box.
DATA: node_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
DATA: it_table TYPE wdr_context_attr_value_list.
** select your dropdown data into it_table and pass it to your context attribute.
** here, mine is call PROJ_TYPE - the values should appear in your dropdown.
node_info->set_attribute_value_set(
name = 'PROJ_TYPE'
value_set = it_table ).

How to handle Drop Down Box on Interactive Adobe Form

Hi,
On my adobe form there are some drop down boxes like company code, cost centre etc, actually i need F4 help on those fields, but what i found is it's not possible to have F4 help on adobe form so i have choosen alternative as webdynpro acitvex drop down box in library. I have written a web dynpro application to fetch the data and display it on adobe interactive form, i could able to display the data for all the fields on adobe form except these drop down boxes, can any body suggest me how to handle these drop down boxes in webdynpro application. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thansk & Regards,
Venkat

Hi Venkat,
As you are using the WDP ActiveX dropdown in your form, it is fine but to populate values in the DD, you need to bind the context attribute with a simpletype and then populate the values. Use the below code to obtain a ModifiableSimple Type:
IWDAttributeInfo abcInfo = wdContext.nodeABC().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("AttributeName");
ISimpleTypeModifiable def = abcInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
IModifiableSimpleValueSet abcValueSet = def.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
and after this put te values in the obtained modifieable simple type like below:
abcValueSet.put(key,value);
where key may be the ID and value may be the name to be displayed in DD.

Drop down list to refresh Tabular Form data

Hi,
I had to add a drop list with a few values in them. When user selects any one of them, the tabular form region should refresh and pick data only for the value selected in the list box.
For this I
1. I have created a Select item with list of values
2. Now when user selects a value from the list, I am guessing I just need to bind the value to the forms select query. However, do I need to use both the page item submit and return item option with this value? or only the return value?
Thanks,
Sun

It's my impression that people use Dynamic action in such a situation when they don't want to submit the page but just refresh the report region. If submitting the page is Ok, then doing it through submit seems more straightforward -to me anyway.

Populating values to drop down list in Adobe Forms

Hi,
We have added a drop down list in our adobe form. Our requirement is Payment Terms should be displayed in this drop down list. We tried by adding values to drop down list in object palette window by using '+' sign. But now we want to display values dynamically from table T052U. We need to bring two fields ZTERM and TEXT1. We don't want to use database connection, just from a table as an importing parameter it should be appended to this list.
Atpresent, we don't want to use webdynpro or java for getting values.
Please provide suitable answers.

Drop down list in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to provide a drop down list in the Adobe form. I am calling this form from an SE38 program. I have selected the 'Value Help drop down list' element. How do i pass the value or bind the values to this element. The values for the drop down list are selected from a standard table at runtime.
I tried using Enumerated drop down list also but did not work.
Any idea????
Thanks,

Hi ,
Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of hassles trying to program something. One question. My values are in a nested table. e.g. I have a table with criteria for an appraisal. The criteria have a dropdown on them with a ratings. So, one appraisal, many citeria, many possible rating values. When I put in your code, e.g. $record.APPRAISAL.CRITERIA.DATA[].RATINGS.DATA[] , I get all Ratings relevant to all criteria on each line for the criteria table, not just for the criterion they belong to. How do I specify that it should only pick up the ratings for the current criterion ?
Hope my explanation makes sense
Thanks !

How do i customize a drop down list in adobe muse without css?

I'm a complete noob when it comes to anything code. I tinker in design and ran into a bit of a snag. I'm involved in a start up and our coders apparently only know how to code software and back end stuff. I know it's probably not the best route to go, but i'm trying to use adobe muse to do the front end of my companies website that will have a few fields such as drop down lists and sign up forms, etc. Is there a way to customize the look of a drop down menu without using css? Or if i do need to use css how do i use it in muse? Really do appreciate any help you guys can provide!

You would need to know CSS. If you need to change Muse CSS you can use Firebug in Firefox to find the element ID. Then you would need to add your custom CSS to the head section in your page properties.

Using getElementById() to get values from drop down list

Hi, I am using Netbeans to write this program. I have this .java page that gets the url of the HtmlPage from the .properties page. And when this page is opened in the browser, there are drop down lists that have values I want to get from the user when he/she has selected, and save it to a database. I'm actually using mozilla firefox to open this page, and using firebug to inspect the drop down list element.
I know getElementById is a javascript code, however, my friend told me to use it in the .java page. This is how part of my code looks like. What I'm not sure is how to implement getElementById() and where.
HtmlPage pageMain =EBPage;
WebRequest postRequestSettings = new WebRequest(
new URL(getProperties("trustAdmin")), HttpMethod.POST);
*// Set the request parameters*
postRequestSettings.setRequestParameters(new ArrayList());
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("component", "edit"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("formids", "unixTime,instance,time,description,message"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("page", "Status"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("service", "direct"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("session", "T"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("submitmode", "submit"));
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("submitname", ""));
*// Insert instance of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("instance", instance));
*// Insert content of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("message", message));
*// Insert description of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("description", description));
*// Insert time of message here*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("time", time));
*// Convert time to unix seconds*
postRequestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("unixTime", String.valueOf(System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000)));
HtmlPage newPage1 = pageMain.getWebClient().getPage(postRequestSettings);
WebRequest requestSettings = new WebRequest(
new URL("http://www.google.com"), HttpMethod.GET);
requestSettings.setRequestParameters(new ArrayList());
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("page", "Preview"));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("service", "page"));
newPage1 = newPage1.getWebClient().getPage(requestSettings);
And I'm told to insert page.getElementById() in the place shown below:
HtmlPage page = null;
page.getElementById()_
*try {*
*// Login proxy*
page = (HtmlPage) jsonBrowser.getPage(getProperties("jsonBrowser"));
String proxyUrl = page.getForms().get(0).getAttribute("action");
System.out.println("Proxy Url" + proxyUrl);
WebRequest requestSettings = new WebRequest(
new URL(proxyUrl), HttpMethod.POST);
requestSettings.setRequestParameters(new ArrayList());
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_PASSWORD", password));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_PRIVATE_CHALLENGE_STATE", ""));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_REQUEST_ID", ""));
requestSettings.getRequestParameters().add(new NameValuePair("PROXY_SG_USERNAME", userID));
*// Get the page*
page = page.getWebClient().getPage(requestSettings);
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, "===================================Login in Trust");
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.INFO, page.getWebResponse().getContentAsString());
*} catch (IOException ex) {*
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
*} catch (FailingHttpStatusCodeException ex) {*
Logger.getLogger(postTrustMessage.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
return page;
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How to change number of remembered items which would be shown in drop down list for edit controls. This use to be at least 5 I think, but now it is only 2!

I need to see 3 different remembered usernames in drop-down list for username input.

Works fine here. I can see at least four user names in the drop down list of a login form.

Drop-down list in interactive form go up and sounds weird

Hello everybody,
I've a problem with a drop down list in an interactive form in my webdynpro java application.
I've an interactive form in my view, display type is "native".
I've put a drop down list in the pdf and filled it with some elements taken from a bapi.
It looks like this
IWDAttributeInfo countryInfo = wdContext.nodeListePoste().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("ListeTypePoste");
 ISimpleTypeModifiable countryType =
 countryInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();
 IModifiableSimpleValueSet countryValueSet =
 countryType.getSVServices().getModifiableSimpleValueSet();
 for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().size();i++){
 IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement element = (IPrivateFDIView.IListe_Poste_viewElement)wdContext.nodeListe_Poste_view().getElementAt(i);
 countryValueSet.put(element.getPoste_Code(),element.getPoste_Libelle());
then I've binded my drop down list with the element of the context "ListeTypePoste"
When I run the application I can see the list in my drop down but it goes "up"
Like this:
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7263/20111207170807.png
Instead of having my list going down it goes up.
And when I click the arrow to open the list I've a weird BEEEEEP like an error.
At the end the list works well and if I choose an element it's well selected, but I would like to take of the BEEEP and to have the regular list going down.
Any ideas?

Hi
I think you problem can be traced to the place where you put your drop down.
As far as I understand your drop down funcions well.
Try to move it into another container or best put it under RoorContainer. Test it.

Selecting Top N records in a table using a slider or drop down list

Hi Experts,
I have a query that displays 1000 records ( say) in VC iview.
Can i have a drop down list in the variable form to control the number of records displayed in the output table by the user .
or can i have a horizaontal slider ( Min value is 2 -max 1000) to display the number of records in the output table selected by the horizaontal slider.
basically iam having a requirement to give the user the capability to select the Top N records of the output table...where the user enters the N value in Drop downlist of variable form or user slides the N value using Horizontal slider
Thnaks
P.Navakanth

Hi
Yes it is possible. First you need to create 'Condition' in BEx query where you have to create 'TOP N' & 'N' should be a variable input. Then you will get this in 'Variable Screen' of a query. In VC for this same variable you can use slider. Use 'Select' function in the 'Action' of the slider & pass it to require table/graph.
Try this, this will give you the required result.
