Add/Remove the same exact point from a drop down list

Ago, I find it odd that there is no native method xfa for the index of an item in the menu drop-down. Not documented at least (as I know).

What you can do however, is create your own method!

Here, in the initialize event of your highest subform you create a method that exends class object (which includes all XFA objects too), like native JavaScript:

//@para String value of the item in the drop down
//@return Boolean - true if item was deleted, false if not and null object if not found in the list

 Object.prototype.deleteItemValue=function(sVal){
 for (var a=0;a
You can remove any item from your drop by modying your code:
if (this.rawValue == "1") {
 DropDownList1.addItem("value 4");
}
  else {
 DropDownList1.deleteItemValue("value 4");
}

Select from a drop-down list and the specified element values are displayed in the textfield
 
			 
I need for one to be able to select from a list drop-down and specified the item values appear in textfield.
For example, if I select Amy
If I select Bob
If I select Jane
Amy
Bob
Jane (I want to appear as shown in the list)
I associated a value to each item in the drop-down list so that the choice is easy to compare and determine what initial (default) value to the value in the text field. In my drop down list change event, I have the following:
var sNewSel = this.boundItem (xfa.event.newText);
Switch (sNewSel)
{
case '1': / / Amy
TextField1.rawValue = "Amy \n";
break;
Switch (sNewSel)
{
case '2': / / Bob
TextField1.rawValue = "Bob \n";
break;
Of course that's not work one name shows at a time. Help, please!
Thank you
			 
Don't know what the code is supposed to do, but basically, you want to add the name of the drop-down list the addition on the current value of the TextField? Why not use the dropdownlist display value directly? For example on the change event:
if ( TextField1.rawValue == null )
    TextField1.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
else
    TextField1.rawValue += ( "\n" + xfa.event.newText );

Hello experts,
I use Adobe Forms in SAP.
My question is, is there a any restriction for additem keyword in JavaScript?
I mean, even if I use the keyword additem to add the name and value of a drop-down list, it adds up to 10000 files only.
Please sugest
			 
A drop-down list is the bad INTERFACE design where an element can contain more than 100 entries. It is very good in tests, but absolutely unacceptable if the form must be used by a person busy doing their work. The choice of Acrobat forms are limited, but consider a list box. Despite this, there may be limits imposed by the system or the implementation.
Better would be
(a) stop filling after awhile the list and add an entry saying several elements not shown, running report or use better filter
(b) be available for all filtering of course lists

How to change or remove a line from a drop down list?
 
			 
I have a spreadsheet Numbers drop down box that shows the 3 lines of the text when I start typing the text in the cell. I have to enter the same text 3 times during the construction of the document. How can I remove 2 of these lines of text?
			 
Hi Brudduh,
Click the cell that contains the context menu,
Click on the brush to Format to open the Format Inspector and click cell.
The Inspector displays the menu items in the context Menu in this cell.

To remove a menu item: click on the item to select. Click the button below the list.
To edit an item: double-click on the item to select content. Modify if needed.
To add an item: click on the button +. Type the content of the element.
To use the same drop-down list in a different cell:
Click the cell that contains the menu to select. Copy.
Select the cells to the same menu. Dough.
Kind regards

Add options from a drop-down list of c ++
 
			 
In my C++ files, I have a QMap to data that I want to add a drop-down menu that I have in QML.
I can't find examples of how to add options to a menu already existing but.  Here's what I have in my file QML right now:
DropDown {
                    id: account
                    title : "Account"
                    enabled : true
                }

It seems it should be a fairly easy process to get the id of the drop-down list and enter the data of my inside QMap.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
			 
Oh, I didn't see that you do not know how to connect the logic of C++ to the UI QML, the ID of the component QML is not enough, you must set objectName: property 'dropDown' too.
You can reach any CPP QML object like this:
This excerpt comes from YourProjectName.cpp
create the active document of the main.qml scene
Set parent document created to ensure that there is overall
application lifetime
QmlDocument * qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///main.qml").parent(this);
Create the root for the UI object
AbstractPane * root = qml->() createRootObject;
game created the root like a scene object
App-> setScene (root);

and here's the findChild method
Drop-down list * dpList = root-> findChild ("combo");

After this line, dpList will point to the controller of the user interface.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Help select the value from a drop-down list box
 
			 
Hello
I develop a script (in JavaScript) which will allow a user to select an export PDF presets (that are loaded in a drop-down list) and then export the InDesign file to PDF, by using the selected PDF preset.
I have the combo fill properly and I am also able to export to PDF correctly, however I have a problem setting the preset has been selected by the user. Here are some of my code fragments:
Drop-down list:
with(borderPanels.add()) {

     pdfDD = dropdowns.add();

     sl = new Array();

     for (i = 0; i < app.pdfExportPresets.length; i++)

     sl.push(app.pdfExportPresets[i].name);

     pdfDD.stringList = sl;
     pdfDD.selectedIndex = 0;
}
 
...
 
myPreset = pdfDD.selectedIndex;
In PDF format:
    // Open, Export, & Close
    for (i = myFileAmount; i >= 0; i--) {
        app.open(File(myFolderContents[i]));

        createHyperlinks();

        app.activeDocument.exportFile(
        ExportFormat.pdfType, File(myFolder.fsName + "/" + app.activeDocument.name.split(".indd")[0] + ".pdf"), false, myPreset);
        app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.no);
    }
During the passage of myPreset, it is defined as 6 (the index from the drop-down list).  How can I set myPreset that the real value of what has been chosen?
Thank you!
			 
In view of your code, you probably need something like:
myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName (pdfDD.stringList [pdfDD.selectedIndex]);

Raising the event "output" from a drop-down list in all instances of a table row
 
			 
I have a drop-down list in a row of table with multiple instances that performs a calculation on the exit event. This calculation takes information from 2 other drop-down lists listed above not repetitive rows of the same table.
The behavior desired is: If the user change their choices above, all instances of the drop-down list below to execute the "Exit" event script to access the new values above.
My script is:
RowOptionalCoverage.DdlCoverageType.execEvent ("exit");     It works, sort of
It updates only the first instance of RowOptionalCoverage and any subsequent instances. The user can 'Tab' through instances and trigger output for each instance event, but this isn't a reasonable solution.
I tried using the method resolveNodes without success. I understand, using the method resolveNodes may be required when you reference multiple instances of an object:
this.resolveNodes ("RowOptionalCoverage [*]. DdlCoverageType [*] ") .execEvent ("exit");"     does not work
xfa.resolveNodes ("RowOptionalCoverage [*]. DdlCoverageType [*] ") .execEvent ("exit");"      does not work
No doubt, I have to be incorrectly using the resolveNodes or rate something? Probably something simple.
All the tips are greatly appreciated.
Stephen
			 
Hello Stephen,
You need to loop through each instance of the line and force the exit event. Without the form, it should look like:
var oRows = xfa.resolveNodes ("RowOptionalCoverage [*]");
oNodes var = oRows.length;

        
for (var i = 0; i)< onodes;="">
{
xfa.resolveNode ("RowOptionalCoverage [" + i + "]"). DdlCoverageType.execEvent ("exit");
}
You could also index table to determine the number of row repeat:
var oNodes = RowOptionalCoverage.instanceManager.count;
You may change this to make it work.
Good luck

Select the point in combobox/drop-down list, fields to update
 
			 
Hello
I have a drop-down list. When a user makes a selection, I would like to query a database and return the results to be displayed in a form. Note, I don't want users to have to press a button, it should happen when an element is pressed. It sounds simple enough, but because I'm new, I'm fighting.
I understand that I need to create a 'change' and then Manager in this handler, I need to run my t service get the data, but then when I try to access these data, nothing happens. I have to Bind something to the combobox? Here is my code.
"" < s:ComboBox id = "lcidComboBox"change = "lcidComboBox_changeHandler (event)" labelField = "name" selectedItem ="bills.locn{}'> "
" < s:AsyncListView list =" getLocationsResult.lastResult{}"/ > "
< / s:ComboBox >
protected function lcidComboBox_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
{
getLocationsResult.token = locationService.getLocations ();
trace (locations.snam); <-this is not anything!
}
See you soon,.

OK, think about it. I needed to include a tag Binding then call my answering machine, the object is able to be called and I can view its properties.

protected function lcidComboBox_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
{
getLocationsResult.token = locationService.getLocations ();
snamTextInput.text = locations.snam;
cuidTextInput.text = locations.cuid;

Why the back button isn't a drop-down list to go back multiple levels in Firefox 4? Y at - it an option to reactivate the which?
 
			 
Before that I've upgraded to Firefox 4, the back button (as it is in all other browsers under the Sun,) had a drop-down list so you could spend a layer of back up and fall back on several levels. This is particularly important when there is a site you redirecting and you cannot go back only to back single click. However, FF4 is not-at least not by default - and I do not see anywhere in the options to add. Is he hiding somewhere I didn't, or that has been deleted?
			 
You need to click on and hold the back button or do a right click to access the menu drop down.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
How to import a list from a drop-down list?

Here's a simple form that you can use: https://acrobat.com/?d=sIJoabh12oYOY19AuTZ9yw
Paste the list into the field of large text at the bottom, click on the button at the top and then copy the drop-down list on the form and paste it into your form.

Filling of a numeric field by selecting from a drop-down list
 
			 
Hello all;
I went through the 38 pages on the form now to try to understand it myself. I must have missed something or this day becomes medium long.
I am filling a numeric field that is based on what is selected in a drop-down list box.
For the test, I use only 2 fields
DropDownList1 and digital Field1
I If (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) { }
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
}
On the other;
(DropDownList1.rawValue == 2) { }
NumericField1.rawValue = 35;
}
That worked. I am now getting the error "missing; before the statement
"6:xfa: form1 [0]: #subform [0]: DropDownList [0]: output"
Specify the value of points is checked in the tab links for DropDownList1.
I said this with a single selection, who worked
if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) { }
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
}
Thank you all
Chomp
			 
If it's a copy/paste of your script, you have a semicolon after the "else" and "else" should be lowercase.
And for nested IFS, you need an "else if", so:
If (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) {}
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
}
Else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 2) {}
NumericField1.rawValue = 35;
}
ElseIf...
If you have a lot of statements, you might want to look at using a statement that may be easier to read.
{Switch (DropDownList1.RawValue)}
case '1 ':
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
break;
case '2 ':
NumericField1.rawValue = 35;
break;
etc.

Sameh salvation,
Thanks for the reply. Your code
DCIteratorBinding iter is BindingContext.getCurrent () .getCurrentBindingsEntry () .get ("iteratorNameInPageDef") (DCIteratorBinding);.
Object secondDropdownValue = iter.getCurrentRow () .getAttribute ("AttributeName");  has been really helpful to get the selected value.
Thank you very much.

Slide to pause until that value is selected from a drop down list?
 
			 
Hi there everyone.
I try to create a cover page of sorts for a simulation of system where the user is asked to enter his name and choose where they work in for a combo box (using the drop-down list box widget)
I have the name entry part work and the drop-down list box is displayed, but I'm having some problems with it.
First of all, as soon as a value is selected in the box is jumps to the next slide. I would have rather navigation controlled by a button that the user can make sure that they have chosen the correct value before continuing. Is there a way to do this?
			 
Hello
This is the craziest question, but think I found the reason: Although the widget looks a lot smaller in edit mode, when opening it (preview or published) it falls above the button. When I have it away, seems to work. Can you confirm?
