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']];

  • Changing the values in drop-down list in the event not return current value

    Hello

    I have a combo that I'm filling using javascript according to the post by Brad here http://blogs.4Point.com/Brad.White/2010/03/populate-a-drop-down-with-a-Web-service-in-a-PD e.html .

    I hooked the change event from the drop-down menu to display the new selection in a separate as text box below

    ApplicationForm.Page1.ddlUsers::change - (FormCalc, client)

    txtSelected.rawValue = ddlUsers.rawValue

    This code works, but shows the previous values (or the last) that has been selected in the drop-down list, but not the current value, which has been selected by the user. I also tried to use selectedIndex rather rawValue on ddlUsers but it has the same behavior. "Commit on" from the drop-down list is set to "SELECT".

    Am I missing something here? How can I get the current value is selected in the drop-down list.

    Thank you

    Marie Pascale

    Hi Carole,

    I didn't look at the blog, but the most appropriate property for use with the change event is xfa.event.newText instead of .rawValue.

    Thus, as the Javascript:

    txtSelected.rawValue = xfa.event.newText;
    

    Hope that helps,

  • How can I use two drop-down lists for a time value?

    I want to enter the length of time someone did something in hours and minutes using two drop-down lists, then enter it as a time value only (├a) in Mysql.

    I used the dropdown database lists and a few different variations of what follows without success (seconds is a hidden field with a value of "00"):

    GetSQLValueString (strftime ("% H: % i: %s", strtotime ($_POST ["sleeptimemin"].))) " «. $_POST ['sleeptimehr']. » «. (_POST ["seconds"])) $, 'date').

    This comes back to 00:00:16, regardless of what is selected in the drop-down list.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    MySQL stores time in human-understandable format, using the 24-hour clock.

  • How to make the menu drop-down list with a scroll bar

    Hello

    I have a drop-down list that is filled with different table sizes.

    I have a size of 30-element array.  Some of the last items just go off the screen at the bottom of the Simulator PB.

    Is it possible for me to add a drop-down scroll bar?

    DP = new DropDown();
    dp.rowHeight = 24;
    DP.prompt = "stuff";
    DP. Height = 34;
    DP.width = 230;
    DP.x = TitleTB.x + 170;
    DP.y = Title.y-3;
    addChild (dp);

    Some of the tables look like this-

    case 'List 1':
    dp.rowCount = 2;
    for (var i: int = 0; i<2;>
    {
    if(i==0)
    {
    DPP.splice (0);
    DPP.unshift({label:"blahblah"});)
    }
    else if (i == 1) {}
    DPP.unshift({label:"foofoo"});)
    }
    }
    dp.dataProvider = new DataProvider (dpp);
    addChild (dp);
    break;

    case "List2":
    dp.rowCount = 30;
    for (var n: int = 0; n<30;>
    {
    if(n==0)
    {
    DPP.splice (0);
    DPP.unshift({label:"lalalala"});)
    }
    Else if (n == 1) {}

    **********

    Delete the existing table using splice (0);

    then I add the new array of labels.

    Before, when I didn't have the splice (0), I only had the .unshift () and sometimes got bays combined together and a scroll bar appears automatically in the Simulator.  But then the berries were mixed.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hey mlin13,

    from the looks of it, your property rowCount is set too high. the rowCount property represents the number of lines displayed on the screen when the drop down menu is open. so if the number of rows is less than the amount of items on the list, it will create a scroll bar with a drop-down list for you. try to set the number of lines to a default value of 10 and and keep it manipulate your list from there. and see if you get the desired results. Good luck!

  • Custom draw items from drop-down list

    Hi all

    I'm working on the CS6 plugins portage CC, 2014.

    A question, I am puzzled, is that with CS6, I'm able to customize the drawing behavior of elements within a drop-down list, by substituting the methods in 'IOwnderDrawItem', which was grouped on "kDropDownListWidgetBoss".

    But it seems that with the SDK of CC,

    -The "IOwnerDrawItem" is aggregated is "kDropDownListWidgetBoss", and

    -The "IOwnerDrawItem" no longer has the "DrawItem" method

    The porting guide does not seem to provide a solution to this. I am looking for help on how I can achieve this with CC.

    Thank you very much.

    -Jeff

    I think I found the solution/work around for this. Just display back here as I do see there are a lot of viewers and hope that this would help others who run in the same question.

    Basically, I think that the previous SDK allowed "DrawItem" that essentially provided a quick shortcut to allow a custom drawing of elements within a drop-down list content of the string. Inside the implementation of the method, you would need to enter the contents of the string of the item to retrieve more specific domain based on the chain, and point out things.

    And with the SDK of CC, it seems he wants to discourage this shortcut and promote encapsulation from the drop-down list items. So now, you declare a type of custom widget (extension "kBaseWidgetBoss"), which includes a custom implementation of 'IID_ICONTROLVIEW', which makes the custom drawing. And during the filling of the drop-down list, you will need to create instances of the custom widget type, then put them in the drop-down list list dropdown controller via.

    And for the drop-down list, you can declare your custom type by the extension "kOwnerDrawDDListWidgetBoss", where you can then provide a custom implementation of "IID_IOWNERDRAWITEM", to reach the specific item measure needs.

    I think that it is good intention and cleaner, just I wanted there was more clear instructions in the porting guide.

  • Constrain the values in drop-down list in a command prompt

    Guys, I'm running a strange problem. I have a single guest having the Country column and status column. Both are drop-down lists. I want the State to be filled with only values belonging to the country that I select. I used the query defined for the country variable and created a new column for the status of the RPD and used the value of the query variable in the column State RPD. In the prompt I shows the SQL values for this new column. No value displayed in the status drop-down list. But when I see this new status column values in a query, the values are limited by the drop-down list of countries. Why it works in a request and not in a command prompt.

    THX,
    Parag

    Parag salvation,

    Variable application does not allow to the RPD. Scope of application variables is only for reports that are there on dashboad. Request variable will temporarily replace the value of an existing server variable only for this report. It will not change the value of the server variable in the world.

    Please see the link below for more information on the query variable

    Thanks for the reply. Your code

    1. DCIteratorBinding iter is BindingContext.getCurrent () .getCurrentBindingsEntry () .get ("iteratorNameInPageDef") (DCIteratorBinding);.
    2. Object secondDropdownValue = iter.getCurrentRow () .getAttribute ("AttributeName");  has been really helpful to get the selected value.

  • Reading data from drop-down list

    Hello
    We need to capture the value selected in the dropdown, EditBox and Multiselect and write this additional reference value [see this avlue selected with report on export]. I am able to read the value of the editing area and he rewrite in the text file, but I am not able to read the value drop-down list.
    Could someone share the script to read the value drop-down list.

    -Amit

    Hey Amit,

    You have to write javascript that passes by the dashboard page and locates the combo box that is the SELECT tag.

    Each SELECT tag has an event called onChange. You want to set this event to your custom function that writes the selected value down to a text file.

    Your function would probably do something like this:

    var writeValueOut = function () {}
    leader. Write (this.options\[this.selectedIndex\].value);
    }

    Good luck!

    Hello, I currently have a form with a drop-down list field that fills a text field with something according to what is selected in the drop-down list via a custom script typo.

    I want to add a button that something will enter the field of text according to what is selected in the menu dropdown. Copy and paste the script of hitting into the button do not work and returns an undefined value.

    I would also like to add that I am new to coding and it would be more useful if someone can provide a script for it or let me know if this is not possible. Thank you.

    OK, the script of mouse upwards for the button might look like this:

    (function () {}

    var aQuotes = [];

    aQuotes [0] = this.getField("Batch").value = util.printd ("Rmmddyy-96", f);

    aQuotes [1] = this.getField("Batch").value = util.printd ("Rmmddyy-95", f);

    aQuotes [6] = this.getField("Batch").value = util.printd ("Rmmddyy-90", f);

    Get the value (export) of the element selected in the drop-down list

    var point = getField("dropdown1").value;

    Set the value of a text field

    getField("Batch").value is aQuotes [point];.
