• Fill other fields based on a drop-down list box

  Hello

  I am completely new to LiveCycle and just starting to teach me how to use it.

  I want to speed up the filling of a purchase order by bringing them to fill based essentially on what is put in other areas.

  For example, I would like to than our usual suppliers to be included in a drop of water to the bottom of the box (I know not how, at least) and then have the address fields automatically filled.

  I know that I can do this using javascript, but it is rather annoying because I don't want to sit here put 276 suppliers in my script. In addition, I don't want to have to edit the script whenever we want to add a new provider.

  Is it possible to create a form that made it and can pull info on another file or database? Also, I would make it pretty fool-proof when it comes to adding new suppliers.

  Thank you

  Darryl

  The way to proceed is to hang on to the top of the drop-down list for a service web and that the web service returns a list of providers (in load of the form). Once the user selects a supplier a second web service would draw information and fill in the appropriate fields.  This technique is easier to configure on the client machines (as all the information is contained in the form). You will need to get another piece of software called LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server to allow the form make calls from web service of the player (assuming that the reader is used).

  The form can connect to a database directly, but this solution has drawbacks as well. You need to configure a dataconnection on each machine as the machine must be on the same network as the DB. It will work on Windows machines. You also punctuated by player to allow DB with Reader connections.

  Hope that helps

• Change the drop-down list of AutoComplete for kind of metadata in music files

  How can I get rid of the entries, unwanted metadata AutoComplete drop-down list boxes in my windows music files.  Specifically in the list of genres.  It seems that everything I never typed in the field of the type is in the list.  The list is very long and includes the wrong spelling, genres, I wish not to use, etc.).  The unwanted entries do not seem to go away if I do not use them.  Is anyway to fix this?

  In case you didn't see my answer below, I'm post it here as well.

  I had the same problem and finally found an answer with the registry editor.  It is explained here:

  http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/SW/WMP/AutoComplete.htm.

  Run regedit, and then select HKEY_CURRENT_USER-> software-> Microsoft-> Mediaplayer-> AutoComplete.  You will find lists of AutoComplete items and just delete the ones you don't want to have there.

  I hope this helps!

• Change the drop down CTRL D

• show/hide fields based on the drop-down list of choices

  I have a field from the drop-down list with three choices. Based on the selection, I need a specific text form field to appear and the others to stay hidden. (Or if it makes the code cleaner, the resulting field could be a drop-down list, too, with the selected choice.) I don't know Java well enough to extrapolate the code from the examples online and it fit my forms. I can provide an example of form. Thanks in advance for your help.

  There are ways to run this.  the easiest for you would be to add this script to the event (calculation of the Properties tab) to calculate the field that must be hidden.  Take notes, all "/ /" is some tips for you to understand the code.  You will need to put this script in all the areas you want to replicate the behavior, change the value depending on what you want to accomplish.  the word 'event' means myself to make you understand.

  If (this.getField("dropdown").value == 'put value here') {//replace "drop down" with the name of the drops}

  Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

  }

  else {}

  Event.Target.Display = display.hidden;

  }

  This works if you have a small amount of fields.  If you manage to have a large number of similar fields, let me know because there are other, faster ways.

• fill a list based on a value from the drop-down list box

  Well, I know a way around it but its quite long with what I know. I worked on a better solution for a day now. So maybe (or likely) someone knows better. I'm trying to fill a drop drop down based on a user selection figure in a list of check boxes. I know I could create several drop-down lists and hide away them until the user changes the value of binding. But the dropdowns would consume a lot of space in my form design in liveCycle. So is there another way or I'm stuck he made a long journey. I also need to assign values to these elements, since they change because the values are used as item numbers later that fill a text/number field later in form as a list of materials.

  Tell me if I'm wrong, please (I'm new to all this)

  in the box in the click event

  If (this.) RawValue == 1)

  {

  dropDownList1.addItem ("item # 1", "value1111");

  dropDownList1.addItem ("item # 2", "value2222");

  }

  on the other

  {

  dropDownList1.rawValue = "null";

  }

  I'm sure that null is not good and I don't know that I have to set the drop-down menu to clear items on preOpen. Or maybe not. And there is a way to add items without the addition of a new right of the line? I'm on the right track?

  Hello

  Rather than having the script in each of the boxes, you can have the script in the event preOpen the drop-down list that leans on the boxes.

  I downloaded an example here: https://acrobat.com/#d=VwREjsMgvqXpVqPu54kSNw

  Take a look at the preOpen the dropdown event.

  // clear the dropdown displayed value and items
  this.rawValue = null;
  this.clearItems(); 
  
  // repopulate the items based on the checkboxes
  if(fruit.rawValue == 1)
  {
       this.addItem("Apples", "fruit_001");
       this.addItem("Pears", "fruit_002");
       this.addItem("Oranges", "fruit_003");
       this.addItem("Bananas", "fruit_004");
       this.addItem("Grapes", "fruit_005");
  }
  
  if(cars.rawValue == 1)
  {
       this.addItem("Volvo", "car_001");
       this.addItem("Ford", "car_002");
       this.addItem("Opel", "car_003");
       this.addItem("Toyota", "car_004");
       this.addItem("Nissan", "car_005");
  }
  
  if(counties.rawValue == 1)
  {
       this.addItem("Co. Tipperary", "county_001");
       this.addItem("Co. Cork", "county_002");
       this.addItem("Co. Dublin", "county_003");

• Defining form fields such as required based on the entry in the drop-down list

  I'm trying to set the properties of a few form fields as required in the case of a specific value is selected from a drop-down list.

  I entered the code of the tab actions from the drop-down list properties below > mouse down > run a java script. The problem is that it works only if I come out and enter again the drop-down list. "I tried to invoke the code with"Mouse down","Mouse entry", out of the mouse ' none of them worked unless I go out and again the drop-down list.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  var devused is this.getField ("device");.

  var comptype is this.getField ("Type of complaint");.

  var proname = this.getField ("product name");

  var feels = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");

  If (comptype.value == 'Associated Product complaint') {}

  devused. Required = true;

  proname. Required = true;

  smells. Required = true;

  }

  else {}

  devused. Required = false;

  proname. Required = false;

  smells. Required = false;

  }

  What you describe is the way documented in what forms Acrobat and Acrobat JS behave by Form Event Processing

  For your described form, we can use a custom format for the field drop-down list script:

  If (event.willCommit! = true & event.changeEx! = "")
  {
  var devused = this.getField ("device");
  var proname = this.getField ("product name");
  Envoy of var = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");
  Switch (Event.changeEx)
  {
  case "related product": complaint
  devused. Required = true;
  proname. Required = true;
  smells. Required = true;
  break; Go at the end of the switch;
  Repeat fdor each value of the option in the drop-down list.
  by default:
  If no match for the above cases, it is found;
  devused. Required = false;
  proname. Required = false;
  smells. Required = false;
  break;
  } / / end of switch event.changeEx;
  } / / end not true willCommit;

  You must set the ' Commit selected value immediately "and as one moves upwards or downwards the options, the related fields will change and stay together when you exit the field note that the field name is not used in the script because the field is the event object until it leaves the field.

  The problem is, it does not take the value that the user selects in the drop-down list and the text field. It takes the default value as "January" and the year is '2013' as these two values are given as selectedIndex:0 and editContents: "2013". I compared the coding with a few other scripts work as well, but it does not work. I added several alert boxes to check the value we get.

  In addition, search for it and change also does not work. Please help me on this. Thank you.

• How the auto fill a field based on the drop-down list unless the specific item is selected

  Hi all

  My apologies if I posted this in in the wrong place, but I am new to these forums, JavaScript and Adobe LiveCycle.

  I am trying to build a form using LiveCycle Acrobat but have problems with the drop-down lists.

  Inititaly I just wanted to fill in the fields in a table based on a matching menu selection dropdown in another table.

  I used the following code and it worked fine:

  Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)

  fFrom var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1');

  OTF var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1");

  for (var i = 0; i < = fFrom.length - 1; i ++) {}

  fTo.item (i) .rawValue = fFrom.item (i) .boundItem (xfa.event.newText);

  }

  The problem is that now I want the code above works UNLESS one of the items in the drop-down list is enabled specifically in this case, I want the text box in the other table to display a message such as "Details of the entry in the field below.

  I tried to create an If Else statement using the following code:

  Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)

  fFrom var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1');

  OTF var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1");

  for (var i = 0; i < = fFrom.length - 1; i ++) {}

  If (fFrom.item (i) .rawvalue = "Option 3") {}

  fTo.item (i) .rawValue = "enter the details in the field below.

  }

  else {}

  fTo.item (i) .rawValue = fFrom.item (i) .boundItem (xfa.event.newText);

  }

  }

  The code now filled the field with "Enter the details in the field below" any item I select in the drop-down list.

  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  You use .rawValue in the change event. This will cause problems because the selection of the users has not received .rawValue from the drop-down list at the time when the change event is triggered.

  Move your script as it should to the output of the dropdown event.

  Hope that helps,

• How to disable the field in the drop-down list to enter a value

  I got a box dropdownlist field and previously a few numerical values on her list:

  say a list of page numbers,

  11

  22

  33

  41

  42

  43

  52

  ..

  I put codes on the change event so that once the user clicks on an element, it is directed to the specific page immediately.

  But the case is that some users would like to enter the field and type a number rather than clicking.

  If he tries to type 42, change event will get him on page 41 instead (as the 1 '4' tank is put in correspondence),

  and then accidentally edit a field then put the tank rest '2' on it.

  so, how can I disable tapping on a drop down field?

  Rgds.

  Hello

  If you select the drop-down list and go to object > field palette. Here you can uncheck "allow customized entry. This will prevent the user to type in the drop-down list.

  With the drop-down menus, I prefer script to the exit event.

  Good luck

• Change the image when the drop-down list value form is selected

  I really thought that it would be easier but I can't function.

  I have a consignment of Paypal with a drop-down list. The list to select the color. I want to change an image on the page to display the correct color when the color is selected in the drop-down list. So a black image occurs when black is selected, a red when red - etc...

  I would be very grateful if anyone can share some brief, the browser compatible code. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

  Bill

  You are right that this is not as simple as you might think at first.  You asked for succinct, but there are several steps involved in mode Code (horror!)

  1) first add this script just before the closing tag () on your page head and then insert all your path/imagenames where see you mine.  Notice of the ORDER OF THE IMAGES must match the order of your choice to be called with the list of drop-down selection in your form! :

  2) in second place, in your form, add the below onchange event for thetag.  Note that in this example, the ID on the we will work with the tag is "theImg", change that, as needed.  If youdo not already own one identifying the tag (see further below), just use "theImg".

  So here's a form with a select field.  Use whatever values you need to do this, just add my onchange event as shown:

  
    <>name = "productColors" id = "productColors" onchange = "diva_imgBySel ('theImg', this.selectedIndex)"> "
      XX
      YY
      ZZ
   
   
  

  3) Finally, you can click on thetag, then click on the Tag/behavior window, click sound + plus sign and select "Preload Images" and adds all imagenames so they will appear more quickly when the selection list is used.

  Hope that all of the senses.

• Dynamic region on the change from the drop-down list of values

  Hi Experts,

  Using the concept of dynamic region, I tried to use buttons as I have 4 buttons and clicking on each button, I am loading the particular taskflow. I used setPropertyListener and type = action to achieve this.

  I have a similar requirement, but I need to use the drop down list here...

  < af:selectOneChoice value = "#{mybean.value}" >

  < f: selectItem itemLabel = "First" Valeurelement = "FirstValue" / > "

  < f: selectItem itemLabel = "Second" Valeurelement = "SecondValue" / > "

  < f: selectItem itemLabel = "Third" Valeurelement = "ThirdValue" / > "

  < f: selectItem itemLabel = "fourth" Valeurelement = "FourthValue" / > "

  < / af:selectOneChoice >

  How can I dynamically load a region on the value selected by the user on top of the data. On the change of the value in the drop-down list, I need to load this particular dynamic region

  JDeveloper version 12.1.3

  Thanks in advance.

  You use a listener to change value of the duo down and detect the region according to the new value of the duo down.

• I created a PDF form with several drop downs, all with the same drop-down values. When I select a value of 1 in the drop-down list fields, it breeds in all others - which I don't want. How can I fix?

  I created a PDF form with several drop downs, all with the same drop-down values. When I select a value of 1 in the drop-down list fields, it breeds in all others - which I don't want. Can I fix?

  I am fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have drop them downs named. Copy you a then keep stick in each area? If so, that's the problem. You must rename each with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think this might solve the problem.
