Drop-down list confirm that there are no empty selection - using Acrobat Pro

How to validate a drop-down list to make sure that a user selected something in the list? I currently have several options in the list, including a ' ' blank space. If this space of blanks is selected or they tab right on the body (if you select nothing) I need an error message occurs. Thank you.

Figured it out:

onBlur for the domain, I entered this code:

If (event.value =="" ") {}

App.Alert ("required field: Please enter a valid choice, the field cannot be empty." "");

}

  • How can I create a menu drop-down list dynamics that controls two separate drop-down lists?

    Hello

    I could use help decipher how to control 2 separate drop-down lists ('b' and 'c') through the value selected in the main drop-down menu (that is, 'a').

    My script worked perfectly to control another menu drop down, however I can't seem to properly control the third zone.

    In my example below, what I'm trying to do is control 'Method - external' and 'Department - external', through my gout primary to the bottom of the list. The external 'method -' drop-down list works fine, it is the third 'Department - external' that I fight with.

    For example, if 'Theft' is chosen in the first drop-down menu, I want 'Method - external' to display the series points and "Department - external" to display a different set of items. If 'Cyber Crime' is selected in the main menu down, then the external 'method' - set items will change and the external "Department -" will indicate N/A.

    With the following script - no matter what happens if I choose 'Flight' or 'Cyber Crime' in the first menu drop down, 'Cyber Crime' n/d game elements are displayed in the external "Department -" drop-down.

    I apologize if this is hard to follow - it is certainly difficult to explain. I hope that my question came through.

    Here's my current script

    Switch (event.value) {}

    case 'flight ':

    this.getField("Method-External").setItems (["","grab and run", "shopping cart/basket Walk Out", "Possession", "Consumption", "Other"]);

    break;

    this.getField("Department-External").setItems (["","Agro", "Automobile", "Bakery", "Building materials", "Chemical", "Cleaning supplies", "Candy", "Dairy products", "Deli/Bistro", "ELECTRIC", "Electronics", "Farm equipment", "Fashion", "Feed", "Fertilizer"]);

    break;

    cases of "fraud":

    this.getField("Method-External").setItems (["", "credit card", "debit card", "Check", "Coupon", "Counterfeit", "Merchandise Return", "Price Switching", "Self Check-out", "Provider", "Other"]);

  • How to change the items in a drop-down list box that is part of an array of clusters

    Hello

    In the attached vi, I have an array of clusters and each cluster contains two drop-down list boxes. How can I edit the items in the drop-down list box 1 for all elements in the array? (All elements of list box 1 has the same elements.)

    By way of illustration, I have also included the case of trivila, for example, edit the items in a separate drop-down list box that is is not part of an array of clusters (combo box 3). Please notify. Thank you.

    Peter

    Right click on the drop-down list box and select Create-> Node-> String() property. Place it on the block diagram. Change to write (right click) and then feed him an array of strings.

  • Have the drop-down list boxes become visible depending on the selection in a previous drop-down list box?

    Hi, im doing a form that only shows some options based on the previous selections.

    So far I have buttons which allow a user to select a specific product, and then by using the drop-down combo boxes select some optional features.

    I then have a simple javascript code that bears the name of a product at a price (i.e. the user selects product 'A', the review sections shows priced at $ 99).

    My problem is with additional customization options that depend on previous choices.

    Is it possible to have some drop-down list boxes become visible depending on the selection in a previous drop-down list box? If yes how could I impliment it?

    Currently my best idea is to have a button that could ask the user if he or she had previously chosen a certain selection and then reveal areas of correct drop-down list accordingly.

    Thank you

    Hello

    With a small change I think that the code works as expected. I changed your mainDD.value to event.value, as on the validate event the mainDD.value property cannot be updated as expected.

  • How to use spawning with a drop-down list and a table area

    Hello

    I have a form that I need to build pages.  As it is now, I have a table in document and a drop-down list box.  When a selection is made in the drop-down list box, the StateAmt field is filled with the table.  This set works fine now, but I need to be able to make this code work with pages having engineered and need a bit of help.

    It's my javascript document:

    var gState = new Array //Create a reference to a new array

    load the table with quantities for each State

    gState ['AL'] = 40

    gState ['AK'] = 40

    gState ["AR"] = 40

    gState ["z"] = 25

    gState ['CA'] = 25

    .. .and so on, I deleted the most to make the shorter script here

    It's my script custom shot to a combo box "gstate" (FYI, I've added the initials of the State in the tab options in combo box)

    var stateamt = this.getField ("G876. StateAmt')

    If (event.changeEx to gState)

    stateamt. Value = gState [event.changeEx]

    This works very well for one page, but when I add another page (model laid) nothing happens after you make a selection in the drop-down list box.  I don't know I need to edit the script due to spawning change the domain names on each page, but I don't know how.  I tried to rename the combo gState1 and using this script (which does not work)

    Fna var = event.target.name.split(".");

    var fp = fna.length > 1? "fna [0] +". ' ' + fna [1] + ". » : » « ;"

    var stateamt = this.getField(fp_+_"G876_StateAmt").name / / (this is G876. StateAmt in the original formula)

    var = this.getField(fp_+_"gState1").name //(this is gState GST on the original form)

    If (event.changeEx in GST)

    stateamt. Value = gst [event.changeEx]

    If anyone can help me with this, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you

    Lisa

    I fugured it myself. It works:

    Fna var = event.target.name.split(".");

    "var fp = fna.length > 1? fna [0] +". ' ' + fna [1] + ". » : » « ;"

    var stateamt = this.getField (fp + "G876_StateAmt")

    If (event.changeEx to gState)

    stateamt. Value = gState [event.changeEx]

    I didn't totally understand the script and trying to change the wrong part.  It is still using the gState table and I needed to change the text box to get the information in the table.

  • 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;
    }

  • Hide the drop-down list when you print only when "PLEASE SELECT" is selected (unused field).

    Our form has several drop-down lists that by default the option "Choose", and not all of them are used whenever the form is used.  When we print a copy of each document, we would like the (unused) field "Choose" to disappear when printing - to make a copy of paper filter.  Is there a script for this?  I tried to use only the general framework ' Visible but does not print ", but of course, the field prints any - we need to print only when there was one another option as the default"Select"is selected.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Coleen

    You can use a custom validation script, something like:

    Event.Target.Display = event.value = "choose"? display.noPrint: display.visible;

    To put this into effect, you will need to make a different choice and place it back to "choose." Another option would be to place as a custom Format script.

  • How to create a small field that scrolls a series of images. (using Acrobat Pro)

    Using Acrobat Pro, we need to use a small field to track the progress of the student.  Successive clicks, the field would scroll:

    -a number (which identifies an element of study);

    -same number surrounded by a circle (indicates the element is assigned to the student).

    -the same number with a check mark (indicates the element is completed by the student).

    -return the original number.

    This could probably be managed by cycling through a series of small images when the user clicks on the field.

    The field of the "checkbox" allows only a control to add to the field.  It does not have the circle and does not work across several States.

    The area of the "text box" could enable this capability, but if so we are not able to configure correctly.

    All solutions?   Thank you!

  • Old laptop has only WEP in the drop-down list of options wifi, I need to do using WPA2-PSK. How to do it?

    It's an old Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro M10 with an Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI adapt (whatever that means!), I did all the updates of Windows, but when I try and establish a connection wifi encryption options of data only from the drop-down are 'disabled' and 'WEP '.

    I checked on the Toshiba site and downloaded the latest wifi and internet updates, I even tried Intel Update site, but they have nothing appropriate (something to do with Toshiba, make changes to drivers for Intel do not offer updates).

    It connects to the internet without problem if I use a cable, but it's not really practical, wifi would be much better.

    Can anyone suggest something to make my laptop use/recognize the WPA2-PSK?

    Thank you very much

    I talked to Toshiba, very nice chap called Daniel spent 30 minutes on the phone and found a very old and apparently obscure update for me to download. Once this has been done the phone was able to connect to the router WPA2-PSK using WEP. Not too sure exactly what the update does but at least it will now connect to modern wi - fi, even if it is only at 11 Mbit / s. apparently, it's as much as the material can handle!

  • 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 );
    
  • How can we change the visibility of the drop-down list after its creation?

    I create a QML document with three drop-down lists.  Depending on how "trans_type" is selected, only to drop Extra should be displayed.  If the option "account" is selected, the drop-down list is visible and the DD category is hidden.  The reverse is true if the 'category' option is selected.

    Here's how I build my QML document:

    void Testing::updateFields()
    {
        if (m_form.isNull())
            return;
    
        // Clear all fields from the form
        m_form->removeAll();
    
        // Clear the internal mapping
        m_fields.clear();
    
        //get the transaction page ready
        QmlDocument *qml = QmlDocument::create("asset:///transaction.qml").parent(this);
    
        DropDown* trans_type = qml->createRootObject();
        trans_type = DropDown::create().title("Transaction Type");
        trans_type->add(Option::create().text("Accounts").value("0"));
        trans_type->add(Option::create().text("Categories").value("1"));
        trans_type->setSelectedIndex(0);
        connect(trans_type, SIGNAL(selectedIndexChanged (int)), this, SLOT(onDDChange(int)));
        m_form->add(trans_type);
    
        DropDown* account_dd = qml->createRootObject();
        account_dd = DropDown::create().title("Account");
        account_dd->add(Option::create().text("No Account").value("0"));
        //... code to populate account drop down here...
        account_dd->setSelectedIndex(0);
        m_form->add(account_dd);
    
        DropDown* category_dd = qml->createRootObject();
        category_dd = DropDown::create().title("Category").visible(false);
        category_dd->add(Option::create().text("No Category").value("0"));
        //... code to populate category drop down here...
        category_dd->setSelectedIndex(0);
        m_form->add(category_dd);
    
    }
    

    Everything is displayed properly on the page.  onDDChange is called and it shows a Toast that the option has been selected.  Here is what I currently have in onDDChange:

    void Testing::onDDChange(const int &info)
    {
        QString msg = "Switched To: ";
        if(info == 0) {
            msg = msg + "Account";
        } else if(info==1) {
            msg = msg + "Category";
        } else {
            msg = msg + "Unrecognized";
        }
        showToast(msg);
    }
    

    I can't figure out how to get the drop down lists to be visible/hidden depending on the needs.  There is a function "setVisible()" for the drop, but I can not understand how to operate without the app crashing.  http://developer.BlackBerry.com/Cascades/reference/bb__cascades__dropdown.html#function-setVisible-v...

    My questions are:

    1. How can I change the visibility of the appropriate dropdown lists in a different function when the status of the main drop-down list is changed?

    2. is there a way to define an id for drop-down lists?  If not, how am I supposed to go into the drop-down lists in a variable later so I can receive their value or change the visibility?

    Any help would be great.  I've been struggling with this for a while.

    There are a number of methods you could use signals and slots between your code and the QML or something simple is assign "objectName" as a property, then this search in C++.

    http://developer.BlackBerry.com/Cascades/documentation/dev/integrating_cpp_qml/

    Something like

    DropBox db = mRootContainer->findChild("dropboxname");
    db->setVisible(true);
    
  • How to change values from drop-down list in several fields simultaneously

    I have a 50-page form that contains a multitude of areas.  One of the fields from drop-down list is repeated throughout the form.  The values in the drop-down list options must be the same for all fields of form drop-down list.  These fields are not copies.  I need to make them individually selectable with touching other areas.

    The problem is, I often have to update the values in these fields... and there are dozens of them.

    Is there a way to store the list in the document and have all dropdowns access from this central location?

    You can do quite easily with a script. For example:

    var aList is ['Alaska', 'Washington', "Oregon", "Idaho", "Montana"];.

    getField("dropdown1").setItems (aList);

    getField("dropdown2").setItems (aList);

    Add any other dropdowns here

    You can store this code in a JavaScript function at the level of the document and update it and then call it whenever you need to update the drop-down lists. If you need to include the value of exports for the elements, you need to change the table suruneliste to an array of arrays, something like:

    aList var = [['Alaska', 'AK'] ['Washington', 'WA'], ['Oregon', 'GOLD'], ['Idaho', 'ID'], ['Montana', 'MT']];
