Connection of a drop-down text field and box

Untitled.jpg

I am new to livecycle and have only used it for 2 days. I be so grateful for all the amazing expert help I found here. I think that my first form is almost over. I'm having a problem with one last question. I created a database with two fields. field 1 is name and displays a name I.E. John Doe, zone 2 is ID and contains a single string as 12345678. I created a drop down list for name and it works fine, I see all the names in the database. I then created a text field I want to show ID in.

Example when

Name                            ID

John Doe 12345678

And if another use is selected

Name                            ID

DOE 12345987

How can I connect these two fields to display the correct data?

Hello

When you have linked the drop-down list for the data connection you set the value of the element and the text of the item properties in this dialog box

If you have set the value of the element to ClientID, which would get the customer name and customer id in the drop-down control on the form, then this.boundItem (xfa.event.change) when xfa.event.change contains a text value of the element will return the value of the element (or the id of the customer in your case)

  • Problems with the sorting of a table with drop-down text cells

    I have 2 subjects (among a number of topics), and each section has a table.

    I followed Mr Grainge help to sort a table without an arrow and in heading 1, it does not work as expected. When I generate my WebHelp I can click on any one of my columns will sort the data. I can see the little black arrow head and black arrow head.

    I know absolutely nothing about HTML and basically followed the instructions for help and got to work.

    The second is a little different in that has 3 columns and rows about 375. The second column contains cells with the drop down text (but not all) as some have yet to be converted.

    The questions are:

    (1) a column will sort once only. So if I click on column 1, the head of black arrow appears. Subsequently, no amount of click will change the State of the data. I can sort the data on any of the 2 remaining columns, but I can never switch between ascendants and descendants of sequence on the same column.

    (2) in Design view, I see all the data in each cell. After that I generated my WebHelp, some of the cells that contain drop-down text fields are missing. Some are, and some are not. Those who are there, work perfectly when I click on the text and the text of the menu drop-down appears. Each drop-down text field has a bookmark.

    ((3) continuous on 2) above, if I use the combination of keys ctrl-w in design, some of the cells that contain text to menu drop-down are missing (probably all those lacking in the Webhelp) and oddly, some of the borders of the cells (I used light blue) are missing. However, they are there in the WebHelp. A sample is attached.

    Get my second table to work as I had hoped would be fantastic and worthwhile so far. However, I'm not quite there yet and need your help and suggestions.

    Please see the last item in the list under the Notes. I suspect this is the problem.

  • Using a choice of multiple words in a drop-down list field to launch a java script

    I'm a complete newbie to manuscript of java and relatively new to your building in Acrobat.

    I use a drop-down list field to fill in automatically other fields based on my 1st drop-down list selection.

    The 1st field drop-down allows me to select a variety of suppliers.  Once I have selected the vendor, he auto-remplit the coordinates for this provider.

    I've plagiarized the writing of scripts from this link: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field.  I even changed my domain names for the moment.  I'll change my return form field names and the script to match once I got it working like I want.

    If I use only one name in my drop down list provider (1 field), the script works perfectly and auto-remplit contact as expected information.  However, many of my suppliers are two words or more... and I need those names in print, so I can't do just a contraction of a Word.  Here is the script I use:

    Here is an example of a supplier of single word name that works as expected:
    Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure
    var DeptData = {ADLEMI: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}
    E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."
    {{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};
    function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)
    {
    this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.
    this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;
    this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;
    }

    Unique provider name, I used in the example above is "ADLEMI."  If I add 'BEST' to ADLEMI (see below), I get a syntax error.  I really need to be able to use several words in my list drop-down provider to trigger auto-fill.

    Put all vorkriegsbevölkerung data in a single data structure

    var DeptData = {ADLEMI BEST: {contact: "P.O. BOX 2371",}}

    E-mail: "DOWNEY, CA 90242."

    {{deptnum: "PHONE: (562) 923-0333 FAX: (562) 923-8111 '}};

    function SetFieldValues (cDeptName)

    {

    this.getField("DeptContact").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .contact.

    this.getField("DeptEmail").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .email;

    this.getField("DeptNumber").value = DeptData [cDeptName] .deptnum;

    }

    The only difference is that I added a space and the word 'BEST' after ADLEMI.  Is there a way to get around this.  I need to have several words in my drop-down list, or at least the full name of the vendor indicating in the field when I print it.

    Thank you

    Place quotation marks around the name of the element.

  • Printed output problem-RH 9 print drop-down text above its parent text. It serves out below!

    Hmmm I found a problem of bad potentionally for our printed output.

    Our documentation project uses many links of menu drop-down (hyper links where the text below the link in the next paragraph). Documentation was written with her expected the text to come out under the text.

    For example, I have this in my HR propject. When I saw, or when I compile in our output HTML Help (chm), it looks like this:

    A string of text

    Chain of that text a drop-down list appears here

    Text String B

    String B drop down text appears here

    Text of string C

    String C drop-down text appears here

    However, to the printed output, it produces like this:

    Chain of that text a drop-down list appears here

    String B drop down text appears here

    String C drop-down text appears here

    A string of text

    Text String B

    Text of string C

    This is my first generate output printed in RH 9. Previously, we were using 7 HR and aroused as planned, with the drop-down list text to come below.

    Is anyone else seeing this? Do you know a setting or something that might be able to solve this problem?

    Ok. I figured out how to fix it. This was happening in HR 7 too now that I think about it. I hope Adobe will solve this problem, because it's pretty hard to do workaround.

    Here's the background on my project and the solution to my problem.

    Background. It is a project to help straight decompiled html (chm) with high hydrostatic pressure. It was initially generated by RoboHelp 7. I am important in RH 9 to try and generated a textbook printed of this help file. So if you want to reproduce this on your end, create a test project in HR 7 with a drop down link or two. To generate a .chm file. Decompile the chm file and create a file with a LOT of HTML or MS Help Workshop hhp. Open the high hydrostatic pressure inside RH 9. Without change or save all the topics in HR immediately try to make printed output. You will see that the output below.

    Workaround. You must open the assigned topic in the WYSIWYG editor and do a simple (such as adding a space and delete), and then save them then the subject. When you generate the printed output, the drop down links put the image below the parent text. The problem is I have thousands of subjects in this project and it takes FOREVER to solve this problem. I had to resort to a macro during the night opens on each topic, makes a minor change and record before printing. I really hope that there is a way better around this in the future.

  • Dynamic effects of HTML like Drop Down the legend and the body does not

    I use TC 2.0, soon to be upgrading to TSC 3.0.  When I try to create Drop Down Caption and Drop Down body elements in FrameMaker and Robohelp update, it does not work.

    I have the text as:

    Drop down menu test legend

    Which I note and go to the Adobe RoboHelp-> DHTML Effects-> menu Drop Down Caption and apply the style of paragraph DropDownCaption to.  I then text like:

    Test menu drop-down body

    Which I pointed out and go to the Adobe RoboHelp-> DHTML Effects-> menu Drop Down body and apply the style of paragraph DropDownBody to.

    I update my Robohelp project (related to my project of FrameMaker) and get a 'clickable' of Test Drop Down legend which I click and Interline additional just pop-up. My Test drop down of the body  text is still there, doing nothing.

    You mind, I can do this in RoboHelp directly without any problems, but then I have the problem of update of the project of FrameMaker and that it get rid of all my work of RoboHelp project. Is it possible to get this working in FrameMaker?

    Please check if there is an empty paragraph between paragraph style Drop Down the legend and the paragraph with the style of Drop Down Body in the FrameMaker document. For RoboHelp, to recognize the link between the two, Drop Down body paragraph must immediately follow the Drop Down Caption paragraph. Avoid any empty paragraph between the two.

  • Apply drop-down selection field to another field in the document

    I'm trying to populate a field on page 2 with the selection of a field of drop-down list on page 1 of the pdf linked dynamic XML (http://www.screencast.com/t/NTRiZmQxNTE).

    In "Subform2, the drop-down list field is named,"subformOptions".» By clicking on this field and opening "change *" will display the statement on the merits that I entered:

    FISupplierGroup.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;

    I was hoping that this statement could fill out the results of the selection of the menu drop-down of the named field, "FISupplierGroup" located in "Subform9" on page 2.

    My results have failed.

    Can someone help me with the solution.

    Thank you

  • How to create a DHTML menu link drop-down text involving an object in the same section?

    Hello!

    What I want to achieve is related to a post earlier this week (trying to run 2 targets with the same trigger). The workaround is to insert a link in a menu drop-down text saying something like "Click here to see this area on the image below", but I can't get this trigger to work.

    What I did:

    1. Create as target a text box placed around the area on the image.
    2. Do trigger on a word in the text of the menu drop down.
    3. Using the drum next to the trigger, try to bind to the target.

    The link of the drum don't cross in front of the menu text editor drop-down.

    Anyway to make it work otherwise? Work at home since Tuesday, I can't.

    Thanks again for your help, it's really appreciated.

    Hello

    Here's how I'd do. I absolutely HATE this small editing window. Yes!

    Build the text you want as well as links and triggers in the main part of the subject. Overall, I'm doing this right where the drop will be finally considered. Then select this option and cut in the windows clipboard.

    Now open the cuss pesky lil of a window and select all the items inside. Paste that cut you earlier.

    I said I don't like the small window? I thought I might have.

    Cheers and happy Thursday! Rick

  • Drop-down text repetition

    Greetings,

    I use RoboHelp X 7 to create a Webhelp project and generate printed documents. One of my subjects has 10 items in menu text drop down. The drop-down text elements generate in the Word document. However, one of these repeats. (i.e., in the doc. feel item1, item2, item3, item3, item4).

    Why the repetition occurs and how to solve the problem?

    Thank you

    Do not take into account; problem solved. The original author created two items of text to drop down in the same sentence.

  • Drop-down list field

    Hi friends,

    In my application from the drop-down list field that I used "ObjectChoiceField" it works but it does not feel like a drop-down list field

    How can I do?

    by the look, he must feel like a drop-down list field?

    Thanks in advance

    I've seen this done before overriding the method object of the ObjectChoiceField to use drawBitmap. In this way paint you a picture on the right of the field (such as the traditional arrow pointing down). You can also use drawRect to draw a rectangle around the whole thing make it look like more traditional.

  • How can I get a drop-down text box as a form of my PDF document that I send for signature using EchoSign?

    When I create a document using a template from my library, I find that all of the text I included in the text box is scrollable and visible, but after the signing, users are not able to scroll the text and cannot see what is visible in the text box itself.

    Hello Erin,.

    I think that you have added the text field and you filers or adding default values (more than the size of the text field). You must make sure that the length of the text field is appropriate in order to fit all the text inside. If you enter more text that the size of the field, then the rest of the text would be cut.

    Kind regards

  • 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.
