• 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,

• Change the value in the field based on the drop-down list

  Let me start by saying that I consider myself as a rookie full when it comes to this program, but I'm learning. I have a drop down menu containing two choice (white or bright white) based on the selection in the drop-down list, I would like to change a field value to reflect the appropriate part number (Alpha numeric if it matters). I'll have 10 fields that will be either / or a value based on the selection. I searched the forums, but without understanding the terminology still, it is difficult to find the answer.

  Thanks for any help.

  Oh, OK.  So add "select" to the list and then on the value tab, select the default value: drop-down list and choose the item you want to appear by default.  I think that's what you're looking for.

  

• Try to fill a text field of a zone drop-down list by using an 'if' statement

  I am filling a text field (modelT) with the text corisponding in the 'data' part of the selectedItem in the drop-down list box. The 'data' appears correctly when I use:

  modelT.text = event.target.selectedItem.data;

  But I'm calling it with an "if" (in red) and subsequently, I can dynamically fill the text field of the multiple drop-down list box. am I missing something simple, here is my code:

  Import fl.controls.ComboBox;
  Import fl.data.DataProvider;
  Import fl.managers.StyleManager;

  var cPurpose:Array = new Array)
  {label: "Execute task", data: "1"},
  {label: "Transportation equipment", data: "2"}
  );
  var purCb:ComboBox = new more;
  purCb.dropdownWidth = 260;
  purCb.width = 260;
  purCb.move (10, 300);
  purCb.prompt = "object of truck?
  purCb.dataProvider = new DataProvider (cPurpose);
  purCb.sortItemsOn ("label");
  purCb.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, purchangeHandler);

  addChild (purCb);

  function purchangeHandler(event:Event):void {}
  trace ("Selected" + event.target.selectedItem.data);
  purT.text = event.target.selectedItem.label;
  purCb.selectedIndex = - 1;
  
  If (event.target.selectedItem.data == 1)
  {
  modelT.text = "T660"
  }
  If (event.target.selectedItem.data == 2)
  {
  modelT.text = "W900;
  }

  Thanks in advance for your help

  You must delete or move the following line so that it is not set to zero for the combobox control before trying to read what is selected:

  purCb.selectedIndex = - 1;

• 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.

• Show/hide fields based on the drop-down list

  Hello

  I'm trying to show/hide subforms with a drop-down list selection. I found a lot of information on the subject and ended up with what my script:

   form1.Page1.Division::exit - (JavaScript, client)
  
  switch (Page1.Division.rawValue)
  {
     case "1":
     SubformZZI.presence = "visible";
     SubformZZR.presence = "hidden";   
        break;
   
     case "2":
     SubformZZI.presence = "hidden";
     SubformZZR.presence = "visible";       
        break;
  }
  
  

  However, it does nothing when a selection is made in the drop-down list. I have the "SubformZZI" initially defined as 'Visible' and the 'SubformZZR', originally defined as "hidden".

  Any suggestions?

  Kind regards

  Check if the form is saved in dynamic form. File-> save as and choose dynamic for the type of shape...

  Other that that, you should check if you have given the values for the selection of the drop-down list as '1' and '2' in the tab of the control's binding.

• Fill in the cc field, based on the drop-down list values

  I know this question has been posted before, but I am very new to this, and the answers I found to date are over my head.

  I am trying to create a submit button that will not only send email to a specific address, but also the carbon copy someone when their name is selected from a drop-down list in the form.

  I don't know much about javascript - and this seems to be the way to achieve this - but I do not know where to enter the JS to get this functionality or syntax. The field I use is called "Supervisor1", and I attributed values (e-mail addresses) to each of the names in the menu dropdown.

  Can someone help me get there?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  If you are a beginner of script, you might think this useful macro.

  It can add a script to mail to a normal button.

  Hi Jeff,

  As long as her select field name is the same as it is for the text field (and just good to do the same thing for ID) then you can change it.

  Options whose value. Then come by in admin.

  Note that if the customer ships internationally is not a viable edition.

• Simple javascript for the drop-down list IF, fills two different fields

  I don't write js, but can grasp what it did when I hang a sample edit and re - purpose. I have a form simple fax that already resets to the opening. Here's what I'm doing:

  User selects the sender's name in the drop-down list of about 15 (grow w / hour)

  Fill in the following text field "sender Fax #" with the number of direct fax (xxx-xxx-xxxx in the js) user

  Are also complete this later text field "sender Ph #" with the number of direct ph of the user (xxx-xxx-xxxx in the js)

  Here is an example which I believe works the way you want: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=gZNDS8dQQNqvwocUufXHNQ

  You have to watch the fields to see how they are implemented and to study different scripts to see how it works. If you have any questions, post again.

• How to use the drop-down list box to fill in a text box

  I'm a beginner when it comes to Java Script.  I have seen a lot of different discussions, look at a lot of articles "helping" Acrobat 9 and Java Script, but only to be left confused and dazed.  I hope someone can tell me how to write a script that fills a text box that sits on my form with the value of exports of the selection in the combo box...

  Thank you

  If you want that the read-only text box, simply set with the following custom calculate script:

  Set this field to the value of the drop-down list box

  Event.Value = getField("combo1").value;

  but replace "combo1' with the actual name of the combo box field.

  If you want something else, post again with more information.

• How do I automatically populate the text field box based on data generated automatically in the drop-down list?

  I created a drop down list which includes various regions.  When a region is selected it auto-renseigne another drop-down list with places.  I would like to automatically fill a text field with predetermined phone numbers when you have selected a location in the drop-down list of "places".  I want to integrate the phone numbers in the code, since the form will not access a database.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Ed.

• 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

• 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");
       this.addItem("Co. Clare", "county_004");
       this.addItem("Co. Kerry", "county_005");
  }

• 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
