Hide / remove / bypass solution the arrow in the combo box

Here's a thing. I need to eradicate the combo box arrow. We produce a feedback form with multiple options for your comments, once the guardian chose the relevant feedback they want the arrow to not be visible to the student. Essentially so that the viewer of the end of the PDF can not say there is a combo box with the arrow, see arrow. Looking around I found that you can not hide the arrow to the right of the combo box.

A possible solution is to design a black bar in the form that may hide the black arrows (unless they become white). However, I prefer the code solutions more own which are not dependent on a static Visual design. I wonder is there away to hide the drop-down list together box and passing of the list item selected in a text field?

FYI a list box is not suitable that the color blue/gray selection is then visible.

When you create a read-only combo box, the arrow is not displayed. This is probably what you want to do anyway before distributing the documents to the end user. You can automate the process of creating fields read-only. Here's a script how it for a single field:

getField("combo1").readonly = true;

An option even better perhaps to flatten pages, which converts the apparitions of field content page regularly. The arrow does not appear for the drop-down list boxes, and it no longer fields of interactive form for the end user to mess with. You can use the following JavaScript code to do this:

flattenPages();

or use optimization PDF or preflight to do the same. Or use this nifty script: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Is the combo box drop-down "Targets" in LabVIEW 2010?

    Guy of OR,.

    In LabVIEW 2010, I installed the touch screen module but 'Touch Panel corresponding project' does not appear in the list of "Targets" of the "Getting Started" initial LV window. The Add/Remove dialog box confirms that the module is installed... Is - can be changed?

    Thanks in advance

    I think that the Touch Panel project should be added to the drop target when you install the Touch Panel Module.  As this isn't the case, I think it's a bug.  Thanks for pointing out that, and I will file a request for corrective measures to get changed for the next editions of LabVIEW.

    Concerning

    Steve.

    Yes, you will need to add additional code to generalize the function to be used with any combobox control.  The problem is that each combobox affects different areas and has another source for data that are placed in these areas.  It's a matter of abstraction, the code needs to extract the names of the concerned fields and data that are placed in these areas.

    To do this is to create a data table (object) for each combobox that includes the names of the fields and the data that are used for these fields. Then, this object is passed to the function 'SetFields' for each combobox.  If the change on the ComboBox event would include code that looks like this:

    SetFields (oCombo1Data);

    The best way to deal with different domain names is to use the same name for the form field that is defined and the data field that he is placed in.  For example, in the article, the sample data looks like this.

    var DeptData = { Accounting:{  contact: "Steala Damuni",
                                   email: "[email protected]",
                                   deptnum: "cmp1234" },
                     Engineering:{ contact: "Frank N. Stien",
                                   email: "[email protected]",
                                   deptnum: "eng1234" },
                     Marketing :{  contact: "Shelly Oughtbuks",
                                   email: "[email protected]",
                                   deptnum: "mkt1234" },
                     ITSupport:{   contact: "Goah  Wei",
                                   email: "[email protected]",
                                   deptnum: "its1234" }};
    

    Where each entry in the drop-down list returns an object with 3 elements, 'contact', 'email' and 'Department '.  If fields have the same name, the code can if write to simple use the name of the entries like domain names.  Like this:

    SetFields (oDataObject) function

    {

    var oValues = [event.value] oDataObject;

    (var Clfd in oValues)

    this.getField (Clfd) .value = oValues [Clfd];

    }

    Now, everything is controlled from the data object that is used for the ComboBox and SetFields function can be used with any control, as long as there is no corresponding data object.

  • How to copy/paste the text box anchor to its anchor text and remove all checkpoints empty?

    Hi all

    I have a document of a few pages, but a story. The right column is the area of main text and on many places, anchored text boxes are placed which appears on the left column, as shown below.

    I want the text of each text box anchor to cut of his place and sticking to its point of insertion/anchor and remove all of the empty boxes of anchored.

    I'm trying since this morning but I was able to get the anchor object reference. Any help on how to start with will be useful.

    Marie rosine

    anchor_box.png

    OK, let's say you have a main text (not rooted) box and three text boxes that are anchored to the text it contains. One is anchored with text, the second is not anchored and the third argument is empty (I won't get into the anchor vs custom anchor line given that you mention in your message).

    Scroll us through the items on the page:

    function main(){
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
      var myPages = myDoc.pages.everyItem().getElements();
      for (var i = 0; i < myPages.length; i++){
      {
        var myPage = myPages[i];
        //Checks that the page is valid, and that it is not a master page. If either is true, skips to the next page.
        if (myPage.isValid == false) continue;
        if (myPage.parent instanceof MasterSpread) continue;
        var myItems = myPage.allPageItems;
        for (var j = 0; j < myItems.length; j++){
          //Current item.
          var myItem = myItems[j];
          //If myItem doesn't have a Character parent, it is not anchored.
          //The first and third text frames would fail this test.
          if (!(myItem.parent instanceof Character)) continue;
          //We only care about text frames.
          if (!(myItem instanceof TextFrame)) continue;
          //I think the only way this would happen would be if you had an image or
          //something else unexpected within the frame. I check for it so no content
          //is inadvertently lost.
          else if (myItem.texts.length > 1) continue;
          //If we're still in this iteration of the loop, all qualifications are met.
          //Flatten the text frame.
          //I don't use layers that often so, to me, flatten makes sense. You may want
          //to use a different term if there's a chance for confusion.
          flattenItem(myItem);
         }
       }
    }
    
    function flattenItem(funcItem)
    {
         //Hold onto the anchor character.
        var myParent = funcItem.parent;
         //Duplicate the text from within the frame so that it appears right after the anchor.
         //There may be other methods, but this works for me. I try to avoid copy/paste
         //so as not to deal with any clipboard mishaps. I added a check in case of empties.
         if (funcItem.texts.length > 0){funcItem.texts[0].duplicate(LocationOptions.AFTER, myParent.insertionPoints[0]);}
         //Replace the anchor character itself with a space (or whatever) which also
         //deletes the text frame it was anchoring.
        myParent.contents = " ";
    }
    

    I guess the takeaway is perhaps you aren't looking at the main text block and then check if anything it is anchored. You are watching each text block and find out if it is anchored. That's my approach, anyway.

  • Issue of change event in the dialog box.

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with a user dialog box. The dialog box should use eventchange to update aspects of the dialog box based on a user selection in a drop-down list box. The problem I encounter is that eventchange does not recognize the change of no selection to the first selection. IE, a user will have to select something else first, then change to what they want to be recognized. Is there something better that would solve this problem? or is the problem something else entirely?

    Thank you

    Artemis

    Hey, Artemis,

    The simplest solution would be to use the event EventInitialize to set the combo box to a default value when the dialog box opens, and your settings dialog box to match the selection.  In this way the first change makes the user would trigger change of value.

  • How do I change the list box within a cluster

    I have a cluster with multiple controls in it. One of them is a combo box on which I need to occasionally change the items to the breast. If the drop-down list box out of the bunch, I could easily access 'Strings []' property of the combo box. However, when inside of the bunch, I don't seem to not be able to get this property. In the excerpt below, the drop-down list box is the control at index 1. I get out of the reference to this control, connect it to a 'property node' and the 'Strings []' property is not found.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello

    Take this simple way, create a node prperty for the cluster that you have, right-click on the prperty node and select link to, browse lists void until the drop-down list box. See attachment.

  • Additional mouse click required to set other combo box values based on the current selection combo box

    I have an Acrobat PDF form where there are 8 combo boxes (not editable) which are related in a logical way, but have unique names and a list of unique values, with the exception of a default value that represents 'null' or 'none '.

    for example:

    The first 1 combo box value is "none" followed by the value A1, B1, C1, etc., and Combo box 2 the first value is 'none' followed of the values A2, B2, C2, etc...

    The combined list useful values for every combo boxes relate to the types of unique product for the user to select mode 'radio button '.

    When the user selects one of the 8 Combo boxes and performs one selection other than 'none', then the form must verify the 7 other combo boxes and when any current value is not equal to 'none', he has to change 'None '.

    The following script is currently enrolled in the properties of "Actions - Mouse Run - Up a Javascript" from one of the drop-down list boxes, others have similar scripts as well.

    (var cbox is the current combo box and var obox is for other drop-down list boxes when called).

    Cbox var = this.getField ("TagStyleStake");

    If (cbox.value! = "none")

    {

    obox var = this.getField ("TagStyleBasket");

    If (obox.value! = "none")

    {obox.value = 'none' ;}

    Obox = this.getField("TagStylePushon");

    If (obox.value! = "none")

    {obox.value = 'none' ;}

    Obox = this.getField("TagStyleHandle");

    If (obox.value! = "none")

    {obox.value = 'none' ;}

    Obox = this.getField("TagStyleHang");

    If (obox.value! = "none")

    {obox.value = 'none' ;}

    Obox = this.getField("TagStyleBlank");

    If (obox.value! = "none")

    {obox.value = 'none' ;}

    Obox = this.getField("TagStyleMolded");

    If (obox.value! = "none")

    {obox.value = 'none' ;}

    Obox = this.getField("TagStyleSignage");

    If (obox.value! = "none")

    {obox.value = 'none' ;}

    }

    The current problem is that, when a Combo is selected and one option other than the 'none' value is clicked, the other combo boxes do not include the 'None' value.

    To reset the other combo boxes requires another click on the option which has just been moved to the position selected in the drop-down list, but it seems reasonable that the drop-down list boxes should reset with the initial click the option in the drop-down list.

    I tried other properties (Format, validate, Calculate) but without success.

    What I'm missing here?

    The normal way to proceed is to define "value option selected to validate immediately" and to place the code in the event of the combo box button. And instead of the first two lines you have, you need to use something like:

    If (! event.willCommit & event.changeEx! == 'none') {}

    Your other code goes here

    }

    The changeEx property returns the value of exports, if any, for the selected item.
