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.

  • How to choose a specific value in a drop-down list using javascript

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way to select a specific value in a drop-down list (the first value) using javascript? How would I do that? Thank you in advance.

    Here's how you can select the first item without having to know what it is:

    Set the value of the drop-down list to the first element cb1

    var f = getField ("cb1");

    var val = f.getItemAt (0, true);

    If (val) f.value = val;

    Change 0 to a different index if desired, or use-1 for the last item in the list. More information for the field getItemAt method is in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.

  • How to pre-select an item in a drop-down list

    Hello

    I need to pre-select an item in a drop-down list, but I don't see how to achieve this using the current or existing methods.  I know that if I set the rawValue then it works, but later when I try to retrieve the data in the selected drop-down list the order of the day list, I get an 'empty' which does not help.  What he needs, is the value, the pair of label to work properly. When I manually select an item in the drop-down list, it works perfectly. But not when I try programtically set. So now I wonder if it is possible to set the index for the drop-down menu, so that he believes have a selected item, when I survey I get the correct value.

    Hope you can help.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    You can use the selectedIndex property to set the desired value.

    And to retrieve a value, I recommend you to use *.getDisplayItem (*.selectedIndex);

    I hope this will help you!

  • How to fill a textfield based on a drop-down list and a checkbox control

    Hi guys,.

    I need help.
    first step: I have a drop down list, if I click in the dropdownlist control 'a' and place it in the digital field a number greater than 99, checkbox must be marked and second step: a textfield1 must be visible.

    the first stage works perfectly, but the second does not.
    This is my code for the second stage of the event: java script of change of

    If ((DropDownList1.rawValue == "a") & & (this.rawValue == 1))
    {
    TextField1.presence = "visible";
    }
    on the other
    TextField1.presence = 'hidden ';


    everyone has no idea why?

    Thank you!!

    Diana

    Hi Diana,

    You are on the right track. deleteItem is zero base; so if you want to remove the second point, it would be deleteItem (1).

    I would recommend a script similar to the output from the drop-down list, so that if the user goes back and changes the value, the same logic would apply. Also when you remove items from a drop-down list by using script, it is useful to addItem() again in the other part of the if statement. In this way, you can restore the list because the shape is changed.

    Also I would wrap the script in the numberField in another State to check for null first.

    Attached example.

    Good luck

  • How to expose a Java enum as a drop-down list in the ADF?

    Seems like a very simple, stupid question, that is, I'm totally new to the ADF, this one is stumping me, and Google does not help things.

    Here is a simplified version of what I'm trying to do:
    (1) I have an enumeration of 'Color' that contains red, green and blue.
    (2) I have a class of "Snowball" that includes a color, say:
    Color ballColor;
    (3) in a JSF page, I want the user to select the color of a list of choices and a store is the color selected in ballColor so I don't know what color my ball.

    Unfortunately, in JDeveloper, when I drag ballColor on my page and select "ADF select a choice" as the control, I can not add attributes to the data mapping.

    Obviously, I need to add attributes "somewhere".

    Someone has a link to a tutorial or documentation, where someone implements an enumeration of Java as a list of choices ADF? I'm sure it's easy and I am embarrassed to ask, but after 3 hours of fruitless search, it's time to ask someone who knows what they are doing.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You must use a dynamic list for this. so use something like:

    
      
    
    

    Where controllerBean is a managed bean and the following method:

    public List getAvailableColors()
    {
        List colors = new ArrayList(3);
        colors.add(new SelectItem(Color.RED));
        colors.add(new SelectItem(Color.BLUE));
        colors.add(new SelectItem(Color.GREEN));
    
        return colors;
    }
    

    Note that could have specified a custom label by adding a second argument to the constructor SelectItem, but by default it will use Celsius.ToString where the value is the first argument to the constructor, so in this case Color.toString () which is Color.name () default for enums if your list contains the labels RED, BLUE and GREEN respectively.

    Kind regards

  • How to create the link between the two drop-down lists

    Hi all

    I've created a form in which there are two drop-down lists.

    Let's say a drop-down list contains three elements A, B, C

    and another drop-down list contains three elements, Apple, banana and cherry.

    So, my request is how to create a relationship between these two drop-down lists, so that if I choose 'A' in the 1st drop-down list, Apple will be selected automatically in the 2nd drop-down list.

    Thank you

    Stéphane

    Hi Scott,.

    Niall is great. You can also use a hidden field to update the second drop-down list value.

    The first drop-down list change event script.

    Select var = xfa.event.change;
    var Items = List1.resolveNode("#items[0]").nodes;
    for (var i = 0; i)
    {
    if(Select == items.) Item (i) .value)
    {
    break;
    }
    }

    If (List1.Length > 1)

    {

    var Items_List2 = SecondDropdownlist.resolveNode("#items[0]").nodes;
    HiddenTextField.rawValue = Items_List2.item (i) .value;
    SecondDropdownlist.rawValue = HiddenTextField.rawValue;

    }

  • Select the string table drop-down list box.

    Hi all

    I want to select the combo box list based on a string in the entry, I don't know how to do this. I have a drop-down list box and the value comes from a database, what I want to do is I want to change the value of the selected box based on the existing value in the database drop-down list. for example, A, B, C D I strings in the drop-down list box, and then in my database, I have a field with the string C, I want to change the C to A. I can't enter the value of C in a string format, but I don't know how to be the first position of the drop-down list box in so the order of channels combo box will be C, A, B, d., the value of C

    Thank you

    Then just write a new array of strings, with the elements of the new agenda, to the "[] strings" - property.

    Either you must code something that allows you to create an array of strings with the elements in the order that you want them to be. If there is a reorganization only, you could do something like:

    -Get the array of strings [] from the drop-down list using a property node box.

    -Find the position of the element you want to place first and use "delete from table", which returns the new array and the element removed.

    -Build a new table 1 d of the deleted item and table remaining. Move to the second combobox Strings [] property of a node property.

  • Drop-down list on the entry of riding?

    Hello

    I'm developing an interactive form of VISITOR Adobe, I have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 laptop. When I checked the menu EDIT-> properties-> compatibility, its form Adobe XML File (XDP)

    When I opened this interactive form to VISITORS in a browser, right click and PROPERTIES-shaped, then I saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x).

    I have a bunch of drop-down lists in my interactive form, done by drag dropiing the purpose of "combo", at the end I linked to a data source, works very well, say his list of COUNTRIES.

    Use open form, as soon as he saw the 'USA' pre-filled from the drop area, very well.

    Declined the user entries, he saw a couple, like the USA, Canada, UK, Spain, fine.

    But now the user want to enter / replace this entry USA with its own value, such as FRANCE, but my form does not allow her to behave like a field "readOnly"!

    Pls. Let me know more how to mount a seizure of values in drop-down list, according to eager users of value?

    If I understand your question correctly, then I think that you need to do is

    Check the box "Enable custom text entry" on the page of the SUBJECT FIELD

    palette. It is found in the area where you define list items in

    your drop-down list.

  • Defining form fields such as required based on the entry in the drop-down list

    I'm trying to set the properties of a few form fields as required in the case of a specific value is selected from a drop-down list.

    I entered the code of the tab actions from the drop-down list properties below > mouse down > run a java script. The problem is that it works only if I come out and enter again the drop-down list. "I tried to invoke the code with"Mouse down","Mouse entry", out of the mouse ' none of them worked unless I go out and again the drop-down list.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    var devused is this.getField ("device");.

    var comptype is this.getField ("Type of complaint");.

    var proname = this.getField ("product name");

    var feels = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");

    If (comptype.value == 'Associated Product complaint') {}

    devused. Required = true;

    proname. Required = true;

    smells. Required = true;

    }

    else {}

    devused. Required = false;

    proname. Required = false;

    smells. Required = false;

    }

    What you describe is the way documented in what forms Acrobat and Acrobat JS behave by Form Event Processing

    For your described form, we can use a custom format for the field drop-down list script:

    If (event.willCommit! = true & event.changeEx! = "")
    {
    var devused = this.getField ("device");
    var proname = this.getField ("product name");
    Envoy of var = this.getField ("sent to the sponsor");
    Switch (Event.changeEx)
    {
    case "related product": complaint
    devused. Required = true;
    proname. Required = true;
    smells. Required = true;
    break; Go at the end of the switch;
    Repeat fdor each value of the option in the drop-down list.
    by default:
    If no match for the above cases, it is found;
    devused. Required = false;
    proname. Required = false;
    smells. Required = false;
    break;
    } / / end of switch event.changeEx;
    } / / end not true willCommit;

    You must set the ' Commit selected value immediately "and as one moves upwards or downwards the options, the related fields will change and stay together when you exit the field note that the field name is not used in the script because the field is the event object until it leaves the field.

  • How to define the rules of navigation in faces - config.xml dynamically?

    In jdev 12.1.2 I am studying and performing the adf faces demo (12.1.2 version).

    I am trying to implement the function of navigation like this:

    1. in the navigation tree in the left panel of the accordion will show the features of an application which is read from database tables;

    2. When you click on a node in the navigation tree, a corresponding function/page will be launched in the Panel to the right of the home page;

    3. the navigation tree nodes display names and information pages target will be resident in the database tables and will be read in my case, the control of data bindings.

    and now I know, the click action was executed in this file in the demo: componentGallerySideBarTree.jsff:

    ->action = "#{stamp.actionOutcome}"

    < af:tree id = "tree" value = "#{attrs.menuModel}" var = "stamp" = "single" rowSelection fetchSize = "200" "

    Summary = "#{uploading." Summary}"disclosedRowKeys =" #{attrs.menuModel.foldersTreeState} "autoHeightRows = '0'"

    displayRow selectedRowKeys = "#{attrs.menuModel.selectionState}" = "selected" "

    contentDelivery = 'immediate' emptyText = "there are no demos for this category.

    styleClass = "AFStretchWidth" >

    < f: facet name = "nodeStamp" >

    < af:panelGroupLayout id = "nodePgl" >

    < af:image source = "#{stamp.ico}" styleClass = "GalleryIcon" shortDesc = "Image of a tree node" "

    ID = "nodeImg" / >

    < af:switcher facetName = "#{stamp.children == null?' leaves ': 'notLeaf'}" id = "nodeSw" > "

    < f: facet = "journal batch name" >

    < af:link id = text = "#{stamp.label"leafLink"} '"

    shortDesc = "#{stamp.label} #{stamp.deprecated eq 'real'?" (not recommended) " :"} »

    action = "#{stamp.actionOutcome}"

    inlineStyle = "#{stamp.deprecated eq 'true'?-style: italic; color: gray':"} ' "

    selected = "true" >

    < af:target execute="@this"/ >

    < / af:link >

    < / f: facet >

    < f: facet name = "notLeaf" >

    < af:outputText id = value = "#{stamp.label"notLeafText"} ' shortDesc =" #{stamp.label} "/ >"

    < / f: facet >

    < / af:switcher >

    < / af:panelGroupLayout >

    < / f: facet >

    < / af:tree >

    and the value of actionOutcome was entered in this file DemoConfusedComponentsMenuModel.java:

    (for the case of the confused component navagation tree folder)

    private TreeModel _initConfusedComponents()

    {

    Confused components

    The list < DemoItemNode > confusedComponentsNodes = new ArrayList < DemoItemNode >)

    {

    {

    ..

    Add (new DemoItemNode ("Tabs", "/ confusedComponents/tabs.jspx","/adfdt/panelTabbed.png","confused.tabs"));

    Add (new DemoItemNode ("iterators","/ confusedComponents/iterators.jspx","/adfdt/iterator.png","confused.iterators" ""));

    }

    };

    DemoItemNode confusedComponentsGroup = new DemoItemNode ("Often confused", "/ images/folder.png", confusedComponentsNodes);

    List ConfusedComponentsList = new ArrayList();
    confusedComponentsList.add (confusedComponentsGroup);

    TreeModel confusedComponents = new ChildPropertyTreeModel (confusedComponentsList, _CHILDREN);
    Return confusedComponents;
    }

    In addition, there are elements in faces-config .xml to define the rules of navigation for the actions 'by clicking on the tree node.

    <>navigation-case

    < from outcome >confused.iterators< / de-results >

    < to view - id > /confusedComponents/iterators.jspx< / to-view-id >

    <!-< redirect / >->

    < / navigation-case >

    So, I can add a new entry in the navigation tree, like this:

    1. in DemoConfusedComponentsMenuModel.javaof the file: Add

    Add (new DemoItemNode ("Iterators", "/confusedComponents/cms.jspx","/ adfdt/iterator.png","confused.cms" ""));

    2. in the file faces - config.xml, add:

    <>navigation-case

    < from outcome >confused.cms< / de-results >

    < to view - id > /confusedComponents/cms.jspx< / to-view-id >

    <!-< redirect / >->

    < / navigation-case >

    and it works!- I have successfully added a new node in the navigation tree, called a new page created by myself cms.jspx.

    If I implement them using database tables (links datacontrols EO/VO),.

    I think I can put action = "#{stamp.actionOutcome}" by links.

    But how can I pay the entry in the faces-config file. XML? -That is to say:

    How to define the rules of navigation in faces - config.xml dynamically?

    Thanks in advance!

    ADF 12 c comes with support for JSF 2.0, you can use the implicit navigation feature.

    In short: you don't need to add case action property, any set of navigation in the name of the page (and include the path if necessary).

    In your case, the name of the action will be: ' / confusedComponents/cms.jspx ' and of course, you can link the action property of method that returns this string.

    If you want to add by the case of navigation program, try ConfigurableNavigationHandler.

    For example:

    Manager of ConfigurableNavigationHandler = (ConfigurableNavigationHandler) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance () .getApplication () .getNavigationHandler ();

    handler.getNavigationCases () .put (...);
