Drop-down list in an excel file menu options

Hello

I develop software test bench. I need the end-user to choose a (Enum probably) drop a test condition (or perhaps test the settings). But the options in the menu must be read from a file Excel, when a new option is available, its name is added to the excel file, it appears in the menu dropdown.

A simple picture of what I need has been attached. I would appreciate help, suggestion or solution in this regard. Please excuse me if I forgot something, I am a fairly new user of LabVIEW.

Kind regards

  • In the drop-down list to pull in file access

    HI -.

    I'm a beginner to this bear so please with me.  I know that have been discussed a hundred times but I can't seem to find someone else who is having this specific problem.

    I have v8.2.

    Given that my script was not working, I downloaded the document "Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0, providing research of the interactive database of forms" to try to see if I can understand what is happening.

    I built exactly as in the document except for the addition of 'clone (1)' as needed based on what I found in other messages on v8.2 and errors before.

    Drop-down list:

    / * This object listbox will fill two columns with data from a data connection.

    sDataConnectionName

    -the name of the data connection to get the data.

    -Note that the data connection appears in the data view.

    sColHiddenValue

    -It is the hidden value of listbox column.

    -Specify the name of the table column used for the fill.

    sColDisplayText

    -It is the column of the ListBox display text.

    -Specify the name of the table column used for the fill.

    These variables must be assigned for this script runs correctly.

    */

    var sDataConnectionName = "DataConnection;

    var sColHiddenValue = "ID";

    var sColDisplayText = "PART_NO."

    Search for sourceSet node that match the name of DataConnection

    var nIndex = 0;

    While (xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item (nIndex) .name! = sDataConnectionName)

    {

    nIndex ++;

    }

    oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item (nIndex) .racing var (1);

    oDB.open ();

    oDB.first ();

    Search with the command 'class name' node

    nIndex = 0;

    While (oDB.nodes.item (nIndex) .className! = 'command')

    {

    nIndex ++;

    }

    Define BOF and EOF to stay

    .query.recordSet.setAttribute ("stayBOF", "bofAction"), oDB.nodes.item (nIndex);

    .query.recordSet.setAttribute ("stayEOF", "eofAction"), oDB.nodes.item (nIndex);

    Find the record with the corresponding data connection name

    nIndex = 0;

    While (xfa.record.nodes.item (nIndex) .name! = sDataConnectionName)

    {

    nIndex ++;

    }

    var oRecord = xfa.record.nodes.item (nIndex);

    Find the value

    var oValueNode = null;

    var oTextNode = null;

    for (var nColIndex = 0; nColIndex < oRecord.nodes.length; nColIndex ++)

    {

    If (oRecord.nodes.item (nColIndex) .name is sColHiddenValue)

    {

    o

    ValueNode = oRecord.nodes.item (nColIndex);

    }

    ElseIf (oRecord.nodes.item (nColIndex) .name == sColDisplayText)

    {

    o

    Node = oRecord.nodes.item (nColIndex);

    }

    }

    While (!) ODB. IsEOF())

    {

    this.addItem (oValueNode.value, oValueNode.value);

    IDList.addItem (oValueNode.value, oTextNode.value);

    oDB.next ();

    }

    Close connection

    oDB.close ();

    Button:

    If (Len (Ltrim (Rtrim (SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then

    $sourceSet.DataConnection.clone (1). #command.query.commandType = "text".

    $sourceSet.DataConnection.clone (1). #command.query.select.nodes.item (0) .value = Concat ("Select * from OfficeSupplies where ID =", Ltrim (Rtrim (SelectField.rawValue)), "")

    Reopen the Dataconnection

    $sourceSet.DataConnection.clone (1) .open)

    endif

    Preview PDF and it connects OK, menu drop down fills properly, but when I click the button, it ALWAYS fills the data from the first record (no matter what is selected in the drop-down list).  It's the same problem I had with my own build.

    Anyone have any ideas of what I have wrong?

    Thank you!

    Misty

    The other thing, that I just noticed is that I usually clone the entire connection and not each node in the link that you have. Try changing your code for this:

    var nIndex = 0;
    While (xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item (nIndex) .name! = "DataConnection2")

    nIndex = nIndex + 1
    endwhile

    oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item (nIndex) .racing var (1); pertaining to the specified data connection node
    Configure sql call DB to get the details about MNR

    If (HasValue (SelectID)) then

    oDB.nodes.item (1).query.setAttribute ("text", "commandType");

    sqlString var = Concat ("SELECT * FROM drugs WHERE MRN = '", Ltrim (Rtrim (SelectID.rawValue)), "'")

    oDB.nodes.item (1).query.select.nodes.item (0) .value = sqlString.

    now connect to the DB and get a recording
    oDB.open)
    oDB.close ();

    endif

    Also if you copy and paste code quotes always get screwed up... .you will have to type.

  • Drop-down list arrow to IE10 flashing menu shows

    After installing IE10 on my Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 64-bit system, I noticed two problems:

    (1) the drop down arrow behaves differently.  For example, when you change the planning backup and restore, the time is 12:00.  I have to press the CTRL key to select between 09:00 and save.

    (2) on the incoming mail to Outcom.com , if the screen is too wide, I can move me is more the lower bar to see the entire screen.  He continues to go back on the left side.  The key does not work in this situation. (Used to move the lower bar and leave it in the middle of the screen, but it does not work).

    These are two different issues, but I wanted to just list the people together where there is a solution at the same time, that is, Flash Player, etc.

    Thanks for any help.

  • I disabled the menu and cannot access the drop-down list to get back them

    You can hide the menu bar in Firefox 3.6 on Windows, on "view > toolbars" or via the contextual right click menu on a toolbar.
    Press in and hold the Alt key to display the menu bar.

  • 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.

  • CC App drop-down list in the menu bar (Mac) completely blank!

    CC App drop-down list in the menu bar (Mac) completely blank! I tried to delete the opm.db file, logging in via the browser and change my password. Nothing works! By making the two above, I get a login screen in the fall to the bottom of the window, but at the time wherever I am connected, it becomes totally empty. I am running an iMac and OS 10.9.5 3.4Ghz i7.

  • How to import excel list in the drop-down list in acrobat pro DC

    Anyone know if an excel of 527 points list can be imported in a drop-down list in adobe acrobat DC? I'm on a mac v10.10.

    I would like to convert the Excel worksheet a file delimited by tabs. Edit this file in a text editor, no word, in a list that meets the formatting of the table for the setItems method. Then add the code to use this table to set the elements of the fall to the bottom of the field. If you have something like:

    var MyItems = new Array ("One", "Two", "Three");

    this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems (MyItems);

    You can then cut and paste this in the JavaScript console, highlight text and run the text. Or cut and paste the code into a JavaScript document level.

  • Import or copy of list in the drop-down list Excel

    Can someone help me with this?  I have a list of 115 departments that I will fill the drop-down list in an acrobat pdf form and do not have time to enter them one by one...  Is it possible to import this list or to copy / paste?  Help, please...  Thank you very much!

    Here is a link to a very simple PDF file that shows how you can fill a combo box (aka drop down) with a list of items that can be pasted into a text field, after copying the Excel (or another source): https://acrobat.com/#d=sIJoabh12oYOY19AuTZ9yw

    The idea is that once the drop-down list is populated after having clicked the "Populate combo box" button, you can copy & paste the field to your form. Don't forget to search for duplicates and empty lines.

  • Drop-down list boxes &amp; menu bar drop-down lists don't no projection in 32.0

    Just upgraded to 32.0 Firefox on my laptop under Windows 7 Professional, for some unknown reason, drop-down boxes on different websites and Firefox menu bar lists drop-down would not show. When you click in the drop-down boxes, blue they just (as usual), but the list would not show. Firefox menu bar drop-down list behave the same way.

    I restarted Firefox in safe mode and this problem does not exist. I suspect it's something to do with the "Default 32.0' under 'Appearance' (as it has been disabled in safe mode). There is no 'Disable' button visible to delete this sub mode. Obviously I can not remove this in SafeMode either.

    I hope you can help as no setting change made during the upgrade and it has become unusable (so go to Google Chrome in the meantime).

    Looking forward to your reply soon.

    It's the default theme, and it is not actually disabled mode without failure.

  • How can I sort alphabetically in the drop-down list in the Tools menu of Firefox?

    The Tools menu has a drop-down list, but the entries are not in alphabetical order. Options and a few individual add-ons/extensions appear in the list, but not in alphabetical order. It would be useful to them in alphabetical order in the list, however, I can't find any option to sort. Did I miss a hidden, built-in option for sorting? Is there an add-on may be providing a way to sort? Someone has an idea? I have not found anything this either in my research on the subject... just what is the sorting of bookmarks. But it's the combo of Tools menu I want to be able to twist. Anyone?

    There is no built-in opportunities to change the menus of the application. The easiest way to do this is by using the editor from Menu Add-on.

    Advanced users familiar with CSS can create a custom style sheet and apply it with Stylish.

  • How can I disable the menu drop-down list on the back button?

    I use a laptop and my hands are not too clever. Whenever I click on the 'back' button, I get the drop-down list, which means that I must then back up my hand to the pad (gently!) to move the pointer, and then try again. It may take me several attempts to turn back a site now!

    I searched for hours how activate the drop-down list, nothing is done and even looked through all the settings in: config to try to find a way around it. Seriously impact my ability to use my laptop on the web now, so if someone can you please come up with a way to return to the old back button, with no menu when my finger slow old cannot move pretty fast down the key, I would be very grateful.

    There are two other ways to return to a page.

    • Right click on a box empty page you visit and use the dos command
    • From the keyboard, press {Alt + left arrow}
