Why is list box field highlighted?

I am creating a fillable PDF form using Acrobat Pro X (10.1.7) that is intended to be filled in using Reader or by hand. I have only one field that is a list box (with 43 items), and for some unknown reason, in both Acrobat Pro X and in Reader XI, it is being highlighted in blue even when all other fields are not highlighted (Highlight Existing Fields off). When the other fields are highlighted in light blue, the list box field is highlighted in a darker blue. It displays the same behavior whether the fill color is white or no color. When I print the form in black and white, which is how it will normally be printed, the field is filled in with a medium gray. I'm an Acrobat newbie so I haven't done anything fancy with the field. I need to get rid of the highlighting ASAP and I don't have a clue about what could be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Perhaps "highlighting" is not the correct term for what is happening, sorry for the misuse of terminology. I need this field to have no background color and I don't understand why it does. I have difficulty believing this is a standard display methology because the field prints as medium gray on a B&W printer, and the black text is hardly visible as a result.
The State field is a drop-down list and has no color. Do I need to change the County field to a drop-down list as well to get rid of this problem?

Set focus on item that selected in multiple-selection list box field in infopath

Hi
I have multiple-selection list box field in infopath that have for example 40 items. (I customize sharepoint list with infopath),then
publish infopath form in to sharepoint list. users want to add new item,when they selected or checked each item in multiple selection list box, after that automatically control focus on first item, but I want to focus remain on that item
I was selected. Why this happen?! I also set postback settings to “never” in multiple-selection list box properties. But didn’t work.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to find several columns based on user selection of checkboxes in one of the Multiple-selection List Box.
I recommend to customize the form to concatenate values from choice field (with multiple values) into single line text box, and then hide the fields based on the text box value.
We can follow the steps as following:
Add a text box control(filed 3) on the form to hold the value selection in the multiple selection list box.
Set the default value for the text box control as
substring-after(eval(eval(Value, 'concat(., ";")'), ".."), ";")
(you need to change the ‘Value’ in the formula to your multiple selection list box name: filed1).
Add the conditional formatting on the flied: flied 3 does not contain value (you need to change the ‘Value’ in the formula to your multiple selection list box value.).
In addition, you can add Formatting action to hide the text box control.
Here are the result screenshots for you to take a look at:

Displaying list box field in PDF

I have exported to an interactive PDF which contains radio buttons, text fields, combo boxes and list boxes. This form is to be viewed on an iPhone 5 in Adobe Reader. All the form objects work except for the combo/list boxes. They appear and a selection can be made but the selection is not displayed in the box. I have tried to enlarge the box, thinking it was too small to display the text.
I have tested it on an Ipad 3 and an android phone and it doesnt work but it does work on a desktop. The reader app is up-to-date on all devices. This is how it displays (sorry about the quality). The option within the list box are "nothing" ie space, Y and N. Before a selection is made the arrow is displayed but after a selection is made the box is blank.
Can someone please tell me if there is a compatibility issue or a work around for this problem.
Thanks!

One more thing: There is a workaround for those who own Acrobat for Windows or Mac. You should be able to open forms with this problem in Acrobat, modify the default values in these fields, return the default values in those fields to their desired state and then resave the document from Acrobat (windows or mac). This forces Acrobat to save the fields in a way that the mobile Readers can properly display and edit. While we absolutely should fix the bug to properly display fields created by InDesign, this workaround may be useful for others so I am posting it here.

Blue List Boxes

I noticed that others have posted regarding this question, but haven't seen any answers. I'll give it a try.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 8 on a Vista 32 system. When creating list boxes in fillable forms, the background of the list box field shows and prints in blue. Changing the appearance in the properties dialogue box has no effect. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get rid of the blue background?
Thanks in advance!
Charlene

Unfortunately it's not possible to change the background of this list boxes but it would make a great features request:

Event for the List Box in ALV Grid Control

Hello,
I have the below urgent requirment.
I have an ALV Grid Control built using ABAP Objects. In the grid, I have few fields and one of these fields is a List Box. Depending on the values selected, I need to enable or disable some fields. So, is there any event for the List box in ALV Grid Control.
For ex: I have 2 Fields, Designation and Commission. The designation field is a List Box field having 'Software Engineer' and 'Manager' as values. When I select 'Software Engineer', the commission field should be disabled. When I select 'Manager', the comission field should be enabled.
Early reply is hightly appreciated.

List box in screen painter

Hi
I have created a screen in menu painter in which there are 3 drop down listbox .
Each list box field has a domain created for it and the domain is assigned a value table.
the value table contains data that data should be populated to list box.
Now when i excecute the screen i am not able to select any data.
any idea how can i achieve this

Hi,
I believe you have to manually fill up the list box using the function module VRM_SET_VALUES..
Check this example...
TYPE-POOLS: vrm.

DATA: t_data TYPE vrm_values.
INITIALIZATION.

s_data-text = 'First four'.
APPEND s_data TO t_data.
s_data-key = 'EFGHI'.
s_data-text = 'Second four'.
APPEND s_data TO t_data.
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
EXPORTING

Checked some items of multiple-selection list box when form loaded in infopath

Hi
I customize sharepoint list with infopath. I have multiple-selection list box and want to checked some items of that automatically when form loaded. how can do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to pre-select some items in the Multiple-Selection List Box.
I recommend to follow the steps below to achieve this goal:
Click Default Values under Data tab in InfoPath, expand the dataFields and navigate to the Multiple-Selection List Box field.
Set the Default Value of the Multiple-Selection List Box field.
Right click the field under the Multiple-Selection List Box group, then select Add another Value Below and set the Default Value for this field.
Repeat step3 based on the number of the items that you want to be pre-selected.
More information are provided in the link below:

How do I populate form fields depending on the value of a list box?

Hi,
Can anybody help me out here?
I'm creating a form where I'm needing to populate a number of fields (first name & last name) based on the value of a list box (values are 1,2,3,4,5,6) ie: if 3 is selected 3 sets of the first name and last name fields populate on the page for the user to fill out.
At this stage it is just a prototype site and there is no database running behind it.
Thanks
Hayden

This can only be solved if you have javascript coding skills. Without knowing more about what you want to do and why, I can only show you a skeleton of how your code should look, but consider this form select field -
<select onchange="populateForm()">
When a value is selected from that list, the "onchange" event will fire, and will call the javascript function called populateForm(). You need to define a function by that name somewhere on the page -
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function populateForm(value) {
     if value >0 { document.getElementById("fieldID").style.display='block' }
     if value >1 { .... }
     etc.
//]]>

The page itself would need to have ALL the fields already in the form, but with those that are to be revealed set to a style of display:none.
Obviously, this is a skinny skeleton. Each test in the function would reveal a new field on the page by changing its display style from "none" (which is how they should be set in the code) to "block". You would need a separate function for each type of field that might need to be chosen.
If this is well over your head, then I'm afraid you will be out of luck for this particular approach....

Populating fields based on list box values

I have created an application based off of a table and so the 1st page is the actual report and the 2nd page is the data entry form. I have changed the form elements (like text box to select list) etc.
I need to have (2) text box fields populated based on the value from the 2nd select list box. I created a pl/sql page process that will check the value of the select list and assign values to the text boxes. This is triggered when a POPULATE button is pressed.
When I select a truck number in the select list - nothing happens and the original select list values get reset back to original. There is another button used in order to insert the data so that's why I figured I needed to add another button to trigger the population of the text boxes from a table. Here is my pl/sql page process used to populate:
BEGIN
SELECT dr1_name, dr2_name
INTO
:P2_DRIVER_1, :P2_DRIVER_2
FROM
active_drivers a
WHERE
:P2_DRIVER_CODE = a.code;
END;
It is set to fire on submit - before computations and validations.
Regards,
Jeff

Not sure if this is the best way but it works for me
Make P2_DRIVER_CODE be a form element of Select List with Submit
Create 2 items, P2_DRVR1 and P2_DRVR2, of form element Hidden
Edit the P2_DRIVER_1 item. In the source region enter :P2_DRVR1 in Post Calculation Computation.
Edit the P2_DRIVER_2 item. In the source region enter :P2_DRVR2 in Post Calculation Computation.
Create a page rendering computation for item: P2_DRVR1.
Type: SQL Query
Computation Point: Before Header
Computation: SELECT dr1_name FROM active_drivers a WHERE a.code = :P2_DRIVER_CODE
Create a page rendering computation for item: P2_DRVR2.
Type: SQL Query
Computation Point: Before Header
Computation: SELECT dr2_name FROM active_drivers a WHERE a.code = :P2_DRIVER_CODE
When an item is selected in P2_DRIVER_CODE the page will submit/refresh, causing the computations to be fired. P2_DRIVER_1 and P2_DRIVER_2 will be populated by the return of the queries in the computations respectively.
P2_DRIVER_1 and P2_DRIVER_2 are still editable by the user (unless you define them as read only) but if you have another select list with submit on the form, if used, the page will refresh and the computation will run again overwriting what the user has entered.
Suppose I want the user to be able to change the defaults and keep from losing them (changed back to default) in case another item submits/refreshes the page.
Create a hidden item P2_DRIVER_CODE_CHANGE with the source of: Static Text. For the Default Value enter &P2_DRIVER_CODE. (include the period after &P2_DRIVER_CODE)
Edit the P2_DRVR1 and P2_DRVR2 computations and in the Conditional Computations region set:
Condition Type: Text in Expression 1 != Expression 2 (include &ITEM substitutions)
Expression1: &P2_DRIVER_CODE.
Expression2: &P2_DRIVER_CODE_CHANGE.
Hope this works for you,
Jeff

Select MULTIPLE default values for a multiple selection list box based on another field in Infopath 2010

Hello there - Before I explain my issue, I would like to point out that I have reviewed some other discussions on selecting default values for multiple selection listbox. But my issue is specific and different, and not answered by any of the discussions
I visited.
I have a multiple selection list box (say for example all countries in the world as values), and I would like to pre-select or setup multiple default values (say five countries) based on some criteria that I query from MS SQL database table.
I know we can go to Data | Default Values option to setup one or many default values for multiple selection list box. When I enter the default values manually this works. I also right click the field under the Multiple-Selection List Box group, then select
Add another Value Below and set the Default Value for this field to setup multiple default values.
However, if I reference a field (either an infopath field or a field from SQL database) I am not able to setup multiple default values. Infopath automatically selects the last field I selected for all instances and in the end I am able to see only one
default value selected instead of many. How to fix this problem? Why would infopath allow multiple default values when we enter it manually but not when we reference some fields?
Please let me know if you need more info. Appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Hi redhotc,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
was fine.Please have a try as the below link:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/pre-select-items-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath-2010.htm
Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:

I hope this helps.

How to change color of list box highlighting in Acrobat 9 Pro?

When you create a list box in Acrobat 9 Pro you select the default value. That default value displays on the form in a highlighted color. Does anyone know how to change the color of the highlight or ideally make it no color? Thanks.

Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad? It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Why is list box field highlighted?
