Fill in textedit with selection field drop-down list

Hello, everyone!

Thank you much for the help that you give me for a long time.

I have never seek and find great solutions.

But this time, I have found nothing.

I need to fill a field of textedit from a selection in a drop-down list.

Is there a way to do this?

My fragment:

var myP0a = myGtop.add("panel", undefined, "JOURNAL");
myP0a.margins = [10,15,10,10];
var myTEMPLATE = myP0a.add("dropdownlist", ["","",200,25], ["", "Journal 01", "Journal 02", "Journal 03", "Journal 04", "Journal 05", "Journal 06"]);
myTEMPLATE.selection = 0;

var myGdoi = myG1.add("group");
myGdoi.add("statictext", undefined, "DOI:");
myGdoi.orientation = "row";
var myDOI = myGdoi.add("edittext", undefined, "000");
myDOI.characters = 34;

Based on the selection of myTEMPLATE, I want to fill in the myDOI field.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance and sorry if this question is already answered in another topic.

The selection of a drop-down list is a ListItem object (or null), therefore, you just collect the selection.text from the drop-down list in the onChange of the drop-down list manager:

myTEMPLATE.onChange = function(){
    if (this.selection===null || this.selection.text.length===0){
        myDOI.text = "000";
        }
    else{
        myDOI.text = this.selection.text;
        };
    // and maybe more stuff here
    };

or equivalently, in a shorter form:

myTEMPLATE.onChange = function(){
     myDOI.text = (this.selection && this.selection.text) || "000";
    };

  • How to get a selection of drop-down list to complete another field with nothing

    Hello

    I have a drop down menu that fills another field according to what is selected (as shown here where Admin mistakes fills the next field with 6735-10-01).

    Capture-1.JPG

    However, there are 3 items in the drop-down list that I don't want to fill in the other with (basically, it must be empty during one of these 3 elements are selected, in contrast to how it returns zero in the example below). I don't know what to put in for the values to make it white.

    Please notify.

    I don't know what your code looks like or where it is but you will need to add a conditional statement, such as:

    If (DropDown.rawValue == "0" | ") DropDown.rawValue == "1" / * | "" etc, etc, * /)

    TextField.rawValue = null;

    on the other

    TextField.rawValue = DropDown.rawValue;

But wasn't sure exactly where to put the code and do I have to put it on the text box or drop-down list. Any help would be appreciated Ive been looking everywhere for a week and can find an answer.

  • How to define the format of a field drop-down list text align at the top of the field instead of the Center?

    I have a form with the fields of data entry simple Acrobat 11. I have, for the first time inserted drop-down lists and most of them is single-line fields. However, there are a few examples where my field must be larger to mask unwanted background. (The field will define the colur to white background are data entry, but I did not write the script for this.) When a selection is made, it appears centered in the field and I need to be aligned to the top.

    I guess I can put a script on the Format tab, in the custom format script, but I don't know enough about Javascript to run on the syntax. I guess it would be a simple line or two of code. Can anyone help?

    You have no control over this. They are always vertically centered. You can use a separate field in the drop down menu, however, and control its background. I suggest to use a read-only button.

  • Can I get the units in the field drop-down list?

    Hello

    I have a requirement that I have to fill out the field list drop-down (its caption is "Size unit") with 2 entries, they are ft2 and m2 (2 should be superscript), so I went to the range of the object and tried to copy/paste "2 and2m pi" but, 2 does not come as a great script!

    Pls I want to know how to do?

    Thank you

    When you press Alt-Gr and 2 you get ².

    So, you can directly enter the value as a square foot in the drop-down list.

  • Selection of drop-down list box does not appear

    I've read several display on this site and others.  I can't find the right solution to get the drop-down list box to work.  I publish for Flash player 10 and AS 2.  The final file will be imported into an Articulate/PPT file.

    I'm simulating a form that my audience must fill.  2 text fields, I use a drop-down list box to select the appropriate entry.  If they leave the screen of the form, I need save their answers, so they need not start from the beginning.  I use global variables.

    My problem occurs when I try to fill the drop-down list using the previously selected public response box.  I tried to use setSelectedIndex.  It works insofar as the choice highlights in the drop-down list box, but the actual selection does not appear in the text box.  What I do pay Combobox.text = selection?

    just assign the selectedIndex property.

  • How to enable/disable readonly in text fields, drop-down list field?

    For example, I have a dropdown field named "DropdownField" and a field of text called 'TextField '.

    Within 'DropdownField', I have four choices: Option 1, Option 2, another, combination. When the user first sees the "DropdownField", they see 'Select Option.' When the "DropdownField' select Option, Option 1 or Option 2 selected, I want to 'TextField' to be a read only field. However, what other or combination are selected, I want them to be able to grasp things in the 'TextField', which makes is not readonly. Also, tell someone selects 'Other', but realizes that they have made a mistake, I want them to be able to select Option 1, and have the return of 'TextField' read-only.

    Currently I have the JavaScript code as a MouseUp on "DropdownField: action

    var getField.DropdownField = drop;

    var getField.TextField = text;

    If (drop.value! = 'Other' | drop.value! = 'Combination')

    {text.readonly = false ;}

    on the other

    If(drop.value = 'Other' | drop.value = 'Mix')

    {text.readonly = true ;}

    However, the JavaScript code above doesn't seem to work. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong!

    You must use the event to validate drop-down list and use a script like:

    var f = getField("TextField");
    
    if (event.value === "Other" || event.value === "Combination") {
      f.readonly = false;
    } else {
      f.readonly = true;
      f.value = f.defaultValue;
    }
    

    Also, set the option in the drop-down list "Value Commit selected immediately".

  • Data from the field drop-down list does not clear when the reset button is activated

    Acrobat Pro XI

    All field boxes are checked in the tab properties of the button actions... but when I click on the reset button of the form I created only the data in clear text fields, not any of the data that has been selected in a drop-down list.  What I am doing wrong?

    The 'rest shape' command returns the fields to their default values. If this

    My concern is that the security implications to use AutoComplete on a connection user name. This allows the infamous capture user names for each user on the system to work their way through the alphabet by KeyDown keypress without effort.

    Could be an internal site (i.e. not exposed on the web).

    Makes no difference. Internal hacking/fraud is still hacking/fraud. And it is much more likely to succeed. The negative person on the inside knows the details of partners/children/animals-domestic/cars their colleagues who will be in their passwords.

  • Connecting 2 fields drop-down list and have some appear field

    I've read about the binding of the two drop-down lists when you select something in the first box and then it adjusts the options in the second drop-down list box.  I love those who can use in the future.  I have a question a little.

    Can I have two lists that both selections control what fields appear below drop-down list?  For the examples list 1 to A, B and C list 2 has red, Orange and yellow.  I'll choose different combinations of the two and have different things to be displayed.  At Red and has fields 1, 2 and 3 show.  B and yellow display 1 and 3 and so on.

    Is this even possible or do I need to create different combinations all in one field and script the different responses that, I think I know how to do?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The problem is that you are hiding the subform, BUT you try to assign to the presence of individual boxes in the subform visible. It won't work, because the subform itself is set to hidden.

    Look at the boxes to check and see if you can group them in series that are always hidden or visible. Then script against subforms and NOT the boxes. If you can not group the boxes then you will just have to refer to them individually.

    The textfield object was just a typo.
