• Change the background color of a table cell, depending on the selection in a drop-down list

  I have a drop-down list wrapped in a subform in a table cell. Users can choose green, yellow or red, and I want the background color to change according to their choice.

  Can you tell me why this script does not work? I'm sure that some of you, dear friends can see in a second.

  
  

  If (this. ListItem == "green") {}

  Subform1.DropDownList1.fillColor = "000,128,000"; BackgroundFill = "solid";

  }

  If (this. ListItem == 'yellow') {}

  Subform1.DropDownList1.fillColor = "255,128,000";

  }

  If (this. ListItem == 'red') {}

  Subform1.DropDownList1.fillColor = "255,000,000;

  }

  
  

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think you should be able to use the following code in the event change of the dropdownlist control.

  Form1. #subform [0]. Table1.row2.DropDownList1::change - (JavaScript, client)

  If {(xfa.event.change=="green)"}

  this.fillColor = "000,128,000";

  }

  If {(xfa.event.change=="yellow)"}

  this.fillColor = "255,128,000";

  }

  If {(xfa.event.change=="red)"}

  this.fillColor = "255,000,000;

  }

• UI - how to make columns in the selection on a Drop Down list?

  I change a code from Peter Kahrel "start Script UI. I'm trying to make a searchable dropdown list has 4 columns. Research so far and I have positions in research, but I can't seem to make the columns for actual data. I think I need to change the type_ahead as the table is looking at these data. I'm stuck in the water. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the list is displayed as a column? How can I activate the chosen = type_ahead given in four columns? Code and screenshot below:

  

  picked = type_ahead (["bat", "bear", "beaver", "bee", "cat", "cats_and_dogs",
  "dog", "maggot", "moose", "moth", "mouse"]);
  
  function type_ahead (array)
  {
  var w = new Window ("dialog", "Quick select");
  var entry = w.add ("edittext", [0, 0, 800, 22]);
  entry.active = true;
  
  var list = w.add ("listbox",  [0, 0,800, 500], "",
  {numberOfColumns: 4, showHeaders: true,
  columnTitles: ["Non-Approved Word", "Approved Alternative", "Approved Use", "Non-Approved Use"], columnWidths: [200,200,200,200]});
  
  list.selection = 0;
  
  entry.onChanging = function ()
  {
  var temp = this.text;
  list.removeAll ();
  for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
  if (array[i].toLowerCase().indexOf (temp) == 0)
  list.add ("item", array[i]);
  if (list.items.length > 0)
  list.selection = 0;
  }
  entry.onChange = function () {w.close (1)}
  if (w.show () != 2)
  return list.selection.text;
  else
  
  w.close ();
  }
  

  Yes, you can do as a palette, but you will have to change two things.

  1. target engine. At the beginning of the script, add the following:

  #targetengine "session."

  2. you may not use this code:

  If (w.show ()! = 2)
  Return list.selection.text;
  on the other
  w.Close ();

  Just use w.show (). You then add a control that, when clicked, determine what you want to do. For example, add a "Stop" button and a Manager in this sense:

  stopButton.onClick = function)

  {

  to do this

  Update

  w.Close ();

  }

• Show drop-down list field hide selection in another drop-down list box

  Hello I need to create two drop-down fields on a dynamic PDF in LiveCycle. The first field contains three choices. When a user selects an item in the drop-down list first I would like to a new field of drop-down list has been shown. For each item in the first drop-down list appears a new field drop-down list with unique values. If the user chooses blue drop-down list of blue shades indicate in this menu drop-down will be various shades of blue to choose for. If the Red is chosen, Shades of Red dropdown with appearance and if yellow is displayed the same occurs. Also if the user must go back and change their selection in the first drop-down list, they can do the same. Any suggestions?

  Thank you in advance.

  There are 2 ways you could do this. The first is just to have the 3 drop-down lists for the second box to separate and do them all hidden. The output of the first dropdown event would then have the code that would make it the second box become visible, something like (in formcalc):

  If ($ == 1) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "visible".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 2) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "visible".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".

  ElseIf ($ == 3) then

  dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".

  dropdownYellow.presence = "visible".

  endif

  The other option is just to have a dropdown that dynamically changes its options based on the results of the first box. So in the second box preOpen event you might have something like (in formcalc):

  If (dropdown1 == 1) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light red, dark red")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 2) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("sky blue, dark blue")

  ElseIf (dropdown1 == 3) then

  $. clearItems()

  $.setItems ("light yellow, dark yellow")

  endif

• Populate a drop-down list based on selected in a drop-down list in a separate table

  Good day all.

  This may seem a simple question for most, but... He had me frustrated trying to figure out.

  I'm trying to fill in a drop-down list that is based on what is selected in another drop-down list.

  Let me explain what I've done so far.

  Life cycle of Designer 8.05.2

  When I got the two drop-down lists in the same table, I've not had a problem. The code I used is

  The table name is "table1".

  if (directorate.rawValue == '1')

  {

  division.clearItems ();

  division.addItem ("select" "")

  }

  I was asked to move things and now 'division' is located in 'Table2 '.

  I know that I need the "Table1" reference, but I'm running into a syntax error. I tried the following code;

  if (Table1 Row1 directorate.rawValue == '1')

  {

  division.clearItems ();

  division.addItem ("make a choice")

  }

  if (Table1.Row1.directorate.rawValue == '1')

  {

  division.clearItems ();

  division.addItem ("make a choice")

  }

  Any help would be appreciated

  Chomp

  You are missing a semicolon at the end of the line, addItem, and the second code example, you have no periods in the SOM (Table1 Row1 direction) reference.

  The best way to get the path to another field is to ctrl-click on the ground while you are in the script editor.

• If statement to change the items in a drop-down list

  Is there a way to change the options in a drop-down list in a script (without data binding)? So I have a drop down list and depending on what the user selects the second drop-down list will have different options. These elements can be specified by an if statement in the preOpen the second dropdown list event? The form will be filled out offline, so I don't want to put a link of data binding.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  There are at least two ways, as shown in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4321707#4321707.  Basically clearItems/addItem if pre Reader 9.0 or setItems supported if you use Reader 9.0 or later.

• 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.

• Populate drop-down list with the results of several drop-down lists

  Hi, I am creating a form where the results of two drop-down lists then would fill another drop-down list. I'm not new to javascript, but I'm new to using it in Acrobat, so while I found some answers to this: Drop-down list fill in multiple fields of text. I don't know where to implement this, if it is still the right thing, I'm looking for pipes for

  Oh and I use Acrobat Pro DC. Any help would be much appreciated!

  OK, you can create a function at the level of the document that is called in the Validate event of each of the two first drop down menus, something like:

  Function in JavaScript to the document level

  function updateDropdown() {}

  Get references to the drop-down menus of entry

  var F1 = getField ("DropdownList1");

  var F2 = getField ("DropdownList2");

  Refer to the output drop-down list

  F3 var = getField ("DropdownList3");

  Get the values of input field, as strings

  var s1 = event.target = f1? Event.value: f1.valueAsString;

  var s2 = event.target = f2? Event.value: f2.valueAsString;

  Fill the drop-down list of output with the elements, or deselect it if either input dropdown is 'empty' (single topic area)

  If (s1 = "" |) s2 === " ") {

  F3.clearItems ();

  } else {}

  F3.setItems (["", s1, s2]);

  }

  }

  In the two first downs Validate event, call this function like this:

  updateDropdown();

  You can of course name the function you want. More information about the properties and the methods used in the code are available in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.

  Good day all.

  I am putting together a form where I have a drop-down list that contains 3 choices. When one of these choices is selected in the drop-down list, a table becomes visible to the user to fill out.

  The question I have is when the user selects in the drop-down menu, the table is not visible unless the user clicks in the fall down once again.

  I tried an event ' click and exit "and came with the same question.

  Here is the code I use. I would appreciate help with this.

  You must use xfa.event.newText to get the selected value.

  var newValue = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
  
  if (newValue == "5") {
      term_select.presence = "visible";

• 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,.

• 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 );
  

• A drop-down list can do the calculation based on the value selected in a drop down list?

  Form Acrobat X Pro Adobe

  Can I have a drop down list create a calculation based on the value selected in the menu drop-down?

  We have a set lunch and want the user to choose to be "A lunch', 'Lunch B'"C Lunch"or"just the milk. "

  It is for each of the 5 days of the week. There are therefore 5 drop downs, which have all the same 4 above choice.

  If the user chooses among the 3 lunches and then put $2.00 in the total box at the end of the line. If 'Just the milk' may put 0.50 in the box.

  The total area at the end of the line must keep a record of all 5 days and give a total.

  So if someone chooses lunch A LUN, sea and Sun and just milk for Tuesday and Thursday and then the total for this week must be $7,00

  Is it possible by using code or something?

  I did it in Excel, but we need it is an Adobe pdf file.

  TIA

  OK the total box has a 10 all the time to make it look like $ 2.00 for

  everything.

  Before even that I chose something there are 10 in the box.

  I am a newbie to Adobe scripting Total used VB/A .NET etc ' 1980

  However.

  Can you do any debugging in code?

• 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]);
