• Prepopulate the drop-down lists with xml file

  Hello world

  I'm trying to prepopulate a dropdown list using an xml file. There are many tutorials on the internet that allows me to do from the overview of the Designer tab. However, when I did it worked well, but I am not able to 'embed' the xml file so that the values appear in the workspace when the user starts a process.

  I tried to load the xml file with the contents of resource reading in the action profile of the first task and put the result in the "xmlPrepareData" but the problem is that I can't put all the values of the xmlPrepareData after because the xml model is not exactly the one used by LiveCycle.

  Any thoughts? Someone is already managed to prepopulate a dropdown list with an XML within the process?

  Kind regards

  OK gr8...

  Assuming you're able to get the XML process LC to your XDP/PDF form field.

  You can fix the XML from the drop-down under-

  clear the drop-down list box
  * DROPDOWN_Field.clearItems ();

  choiceList = XMLData.parse (* XML_Field.rawValue, false);

  divide the choiceList in an array of values

  choice = choiceList.resolveNodes("root.element[*].*NODENAME");

  var numchoices = choices.length;

  Adds an array of values in drop-down list
  for (var i = 0; i)< numchoices;="">

  {
  * DROPDOWN_Field.addItem (choices.item (i) .value);
  }

  * DROPDOWN_Field - is your field drop-down list.

  * XML_Field - is your XML data stored in a TextField.

  * NODENAME - is the name of the node in your XML to solve.

  I hope that Hepls...

• Dynamically bind a drop-down list to a cell in a table

  Hello
  
  I create an advanced table (2 collars) of the following type:
  
  Code | Value
  === | ===
  one | lov by valid values for the code = one
  b | lov by valid values for the code = b
  -- | ---------
  -- | ---------
  
  
  I have a combo set for Col1 (code), but what I want is that, at the time where the user selects a value for the 'code' in the list of choices, a list of choices lov appears in col2, which allows the user to choose among valid "values" for the code = one.
  
  Similarly, it might be a different set of values in the lov for col2 (Value) for each row, the value of col1 (code).
  
  Is this possible and if so, how?
  
  Thank you for your comments.

• populating drop-down list from multiple instances of the subform

  I have a drop-down list xfa.form.assessment.Questions.Questionset.Questiondetail.FIBdetail.qObjlist

  That I want to fill it with the text of all instances of the xfa.form.assessment.Objectives.objectivesdetail.objective text field.

  The user determines how many instances of xfa.form.assessment.Objectives.objectivesdetail will take place.

  How can I write the addItem for the drop-down list to capture data from all instances of xfa.form.assessment.Objectives.objectivesdetail?

  Hello

  I tried to have the area of the exit of the texfield goal fill in the items in drop-down list, but he doesn't like it if 'white' filling has been hidden. So I code the following javascript in the input of the "White Fill" dropdown list event instead. This retrospective look at the objectives and loops through them:

  this.clearItems();
  this.rawValue = null; 
  
  var nCount = Objectives.objectivesdetail.instanceManager.count;
  console.println("nCount: " + nCount); 
  
  for (var i=0; i<=nCount; i++)
  {

       var vObj = vFld.objective.rawValue;
       Questions.Questionset.Questiondetail.FIBdetail.qObjlist.addItem(vObj);
  }
  

  There are some potential problems with the form, that appear in the javascript console. You should check these.
  I hope this helps.

• How do complete you 1 text box with multiple drop-down list values

  I can fill in a text box with a value in a drop-down list, but if I have 2 drop-down list values going to the same area of text (multiple lines), the second drop-down list value removes the first value.

  (A similar code on the drop-down list 1 and 2 from the drop-down list)

  Change event - JavaScript

  If (xfa.event.newText == 'No') {}

  Form1.Page1.subform2.Description.RawValue = "no location listed.

  }

  If (xfa.event.newText == "Partial renting") {}

  Form1.Page1.subform2.Description.RawValue = "enumerated part place."

  }

  Do I have to Concat the fields in 1 text field so that it can have several values in drop-down list, and if so how do I do that?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Resolved:

  Place this script in the root of the subform in the FormReady - JavaScript event.

  oList var = this.getDeltas ();

  for (i = 0; i< olist.length;="" i="">

  {

  var oDelta = oList.item (i);

  oDelta.restore ();

• list - restrictive entry visibility and external xml file in the drop-down list

  The question applies to the OPA 10.1, but if a solution requires a version more recent OPA (e.g., 12.1) we can update so please let me know what version your answer applies to.

  I have a series of tabs of a spreadsheet Excel that map different categories on each other and I want to implement this OPA so that there are six screens with drop-down lists and visible elements two on-screen menu will depend on the selected item in the display 1. list to display 3 items will depend on the selected item in the screen 2, which depends on the item selected on the screen 1, etc..

  For example,.

  1 screen can be States:

  Maryland

  Virginia

  New York City

  Georgia

  ...

  2 screen could then be counties: assuming that Virginia has been selected...

  Accomack

  Albemarle

  Alleghany

  ...

  3 screen could be cities: assuming that Accomack is selected...

  Exmore

  Parksley

  ...

  Basically I have large spreadsheet list of lists with items (one list a 2040 pieces) and so I can't manually enter easily list items.  I would like to 'specify the name of the list' and have the OPA to use an xml list (easily created my spreadsheet), but the OPA Help menu says "NOTE: this implementation of the xml list does not support default values or visibility...» "So it seems that I won't be able to make invisible inapplicable list items.  So, to use the fictitious example above, if I chose the State of Maryland, I will not applicable to Virginia or any other State counties, but Maryland is visible; Yet, all counties in the country should be included in the list in the first place.

  If someone knows a solution or another solution to this problem (other than creating custom functions) so please let me know.

  "Out of the box' for 10.1 you can try the following:

  Have simply a separate list for each of the sub-components. He can do even a little painful, but you have not at least custom functions or custom controls.

  On the first screen you have the attribute collection the State using the list of States (provided via xml).

  On the second screen you have the County collection attribute - but repeated 50 times - and then use visibility to show/hide the template you want (which then has the correct xml for the counties in the State).

  On the third screen you have your attribute for the city (once again the same attribute for each list) but isn't there it gets a little mean to 50 times counties in the State.

  In terms of writing that required visibility rules that you can probably leverage Excel to do much of the building of the rule for you to lists (remembering that the compiler takes that you as the user see in Excel, not the function that sees Excel)- so there is not a lot of extra work in the perspective of rules.

  The sticking point will simply put all of these attributes and binds the attribute visibility for the right control (and right xml).

  Proceed with caution (extreme!), but... If you're already Automation to create the XML lists from Excel, then you might want to automate the creation of xml screen. But be very careful. I've seen some projects that have used automatically generated screens and they did the job of the ok - but certainly a warning any time major health you do not use OPM to generate a component of OPM.

  Then... it is possible to do it manually - but you probably want to get involved some automation.

• Not drop-down list values in the XML that is generated after completing the form

  Hello

  I have a form that has a drop-down menus of the filling of an XML file, the items in drop-down list to a text and value associated with it.

  The problem is when I generate the XML of the form value labels are coming in instead of the text in the drop-down list.

  Pls help. How can I get the text of the value of the dropdown list selected in the XML file?

  Thank you

  Ludovic

  Hello

  I would recommend going to the object > linking the palette and deselecting 'specify values ". In this way, the display values will be included in the XML, as the display value will be the same as the .rawValue from the drop-down list.

  However, this means that any script that references the drop down menus will use the values to display for the items and not the previous related values.

  Hope that helps,

  To embed the XML data in the PDF file, open it in Acrobat and then:

  Forms-> manage form data-> import data.

  And you choose XML file.

  I hope this helps.

  Here is an example of change. I put the code click on the button, so you can see it in operation... You can place this code in the event that makes sense for you. I also added another field to show the DOM (this is for debugging purposes and you can remove this field if you want).

• How to filter the XML related to drop-down list data source?

  Dear all,

  I quiet new to LiveCycle designer ARE for a few weeks I am working on it.

  Right now I have problem with filering XML Datasource with the drop-down list.

  I searched the net and got two or three samples on it. But I failed to do my job of form as a requirement. Even if I generated the XML file structure given in the examples.

  Please check the attached xml file that I created.

• Set point problem selected in the drop-down list box that is the XML data provider

  HI - new to Flex, experienced Java dev., hoping someone can help me see the light of what should be easy but...
  
  I have a Flex 3 MXML application form that contains a ComboBox as follows:
  < mx:ComboBox id = "physRegion" editable = dataProvider = "{regionRequest.lastResult.region 'false'}" / > "
  
  The combo box is filled by the provider of data like:
  MX:HTTPService id = "regionRequest" url = "flexDAOServlet" resultFormat = "e4x" method = "POST" >
  < / mx:HTTPService >
  
  and the underlying XML code looks like this:
  <>region
  Northland < label > < / label >
  < value > 1 < / value >
  < / region >
  <>region
  Auckland < label > < / label >
  < value > 2 < / value >
  < / region >
  ...
  
  Drop-down list box loads the XML code very well. the user can select an item and the appropriate value is submitted to the server without problem. My problem is when I want to "recharge" the form with previous values.
  I can reload the text without problem fields.
  
  But I can't work in my ActionScript function, how to set the combo box so that it displays "Auckland" for example, the element with the value = 2. I'll be back this server id, even if I could get the XML code or label if that would help me solve this problem.
  
  I tried physRegion.selectedItem = "Auckland" - nope. "
  I tried physRegion.selectedItem = 2 - nope.
  I tried
  var XML = myXML:XML ("< region > < label > Auckland < /label > < value_2 > < value > < / region >");
  physRegion.selectedItem = myXML;
  and - nope.
  
  I know that I'm a new style user here error (and thank you for reading this far! your patience is appreciated) but I can't for the life of me see what it is. Can anyone help?
  
  Many thanks in advance for clues. Apart from that, I'm loving Flex.
  Kind regards

  Two things to note. The only problem with the function that has provided ChiefRocka00 is that it is based on the identifier of the data, which means your always limited to have that be the identifier of your value. Personally, I'll be back queries a lot of times where the labelFIeld and dataField aren't labels / data pairs a suggestion would be to add a third parameter and have it checked for this identifier instead of the data. The other thing to note is that it is more common to use selectedIndex instead of selectedItem. If you do not want to do something more like physRegion.selectedIndex = selectCboIndexByData ("physRegion, ' Auckland", label) by using the update function of

  public void selectCboIndexByData(theCbo,_theDataValue,_identifier:String):Number {}
  for (var i: Number = 0; i< thecbo.dataprovider.length;="">
  If (theCbo.DataProvider.getItemAt (i) [ID] == theDataValue) {}
  Return i;
  }
  }
  return 0;
  }

• Adobe Acrobat 9: Javascript populated the drop-down list box - response selected array will not save

  I have a combo on one of my forms box that is filled with the help of a Javascript array.  The drop-down list box is filling very well, but when an item is selected in this drop-down list box, the selected item does not save when the user saves the document.  Any suggestions as to what is the problem and how it can be corrected?  I am a loss to know where even to start the search.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  It seems that the drop-down list box may be getting filled with code that runs when the form is opened. If so, it will overwrite the value selected, whenever it opens. The solution would be to change the code so that it is not than that. If not, you can post the form somewhere so we can take a look?

• Export the value of the drop-down list of failure

  Hello colleagues!

  I created a simple form using LiveCycle Designer, which consist of two elements of text and drop-down list box:

  

  The drop-down list is filled with XML data:

  <MyData>
  <country/>
  <countries>
  <item uiname="United States" token="US"/>
  <item uiname="Vietnam" token="SRV"/>
  </countries>
  <state/>
  <US>
  <item>California</item>
  <item>New York</item>
  <item>Texas</item>
  </US>
  <SRV>
  <item>An Giang</item>
  <item>Bac Giang</item>
  <item>Bac Kan</item>
  </SRV>
  </MyData>
  

  Then, I handed the form, received a response and he added in the base file of responses:

  

  Later, I tried to export the responses, but it freezes. I think that the loop is executed, because I can move the progreess window, I can close the wndow to Adobe Acrobat, but when I try to cancel the export process nothing happens:

  

  So I discovered that the problem is in the drop-down list populated from XML data and list which is binding against XSD or XML elements.

  I don't know what I should do next.

  Simple form. XML data.

  Adobe support confirmed that the problem with dropdown lists bug. Will be fixed in future version.
