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.

  • JavaScript to set radio button choices using the drop-down list box value.

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC version 2015.016.20039 on a MacBook Pro OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6.

    I have a set of named CitBox radio box choices. I'm defining what choice is selected from out of a drop-down list named AppCitizenship box.  Both of them have six choices with values of 1, 2, etc. (I thought having the same values would make easier the translation from one to the other). Thanks in advance.

    If you used the same values, then it is pretty easy. Just use this code as the validation script custom field drop-down list:

    this.getField("CitBox").value = event.value;

  • Using Wizard of the Action to change the font in the drop-down list box

    Acrobat Pro DC on a MAC under OS X 10.11.6

    I have a form that is mainly created in Indesign (it works for us - I know that others prefer to locate forms purely in Acrobat).

    I have a script I can run through the wizard of the Action (run a javascript script) to change the font in all fields in text form. But being a novice script that I can not understand how to create a similar script that will change the font used by drop-down list boxes (created in Indesign). Is it possible by a script?

    I know I can do it manually through the properties, but if someone can give me a pointer to find a way to do it with a script that would be amazing!

    Thank you

    The script can be changed to:

    for (var i = 0; i)< numfields;="" i++)="">

    var f = getField (getNthFieldName (i));

    If (f.type = 'text' | f.type = "combobox") {}

    f.textFont = "Arial";

    f.textSize = "10";

    }

    }

    But now I have to ask, what are your reasons to use Arial instead of Helvetica?

  • Automatically populate a drop-down list by using another selection from the drop-down list box

    New java/preparation forms so I apologize in advance.

    I currently have a menu drop-down box 1 (Occupation) with three options: "enter your own description/blank", retired housewife. When someone chooses either retirement or anyone at home, I would another drop box 2 (employer) to assign automatically "n/a. . The employer drop box has only two options: "enter your own/blank", N/A.

    Far, I could for that box to fill but only when the person clicks in the box (as if they were about to enter their own text.) Then only it will fill the drop-down list "employer." I would like it auto fill once the person has chosen retired, Virgin or stay-at-home woman without having to enter in the box (just using the arrow to the size of the drop-down list box).

    I currently have a key shot that resets the employer box when a person chooses the option vacuum/enter your own option. I then a JavaScript (only for the housewife now) that only works if you click the box of. Key combination works I want to than the other options work as well. If the client settles on white, the choice of the employer updates automatically empty without having to click in the box of. Any help (including general advice to make my code cleaner) is very appreciated!

    Current script of typing:

    If {(event.willCommit)

    If (event.value == "") this.resetForm (["use"]); of other SetFieldValues (event.value);

    }

    The current upward, mice running JavaScript :

    var v = this.getField ("Occupation") .value

    If (v is "Housewife")

    1. this.getField("Employer").value = "N/a".

    I think maybe I should use event.willCommit in my formula, but I'm not sure how to include it.

    Thank you!

    I would not use the key sequence or MouseUp actions for this, but the action post.

    Just make sure that you set the field option to validate the selected value immediately (under Properties - Options) and then use this code as the custom validation script:

    var employerField = this.getField("Employer");
    if (event.value=="Homemaker" || event.value=="Retired")
        employerField.value = "N/A";
    else employerField.value = employerField.defaultValue;

  • Have the drop-down list boxes become visible depending on the selection in a previous drop-down list box?

    Hi, im doing a form that only shows some options based on the previous selections.

    So far I have buttons which allow a user to select a specific product, and then by using the drop-down combo boxes select some optional features.

    I then have a simple javascript code that bears the name of a product at a price (i.e. the user selects product 'A', the review sections shows priced at $ 99).

    My problem is with additional customization options that depend on previous choices.

    Is it possible to have some drop-down list boxes become visible depending on the selection in a previous drop-down list box? If yes how could I impliment it?

    Currently my best idea is to have a button that could ask the user if he or she had previously chosen a certain selection and then reveal areas of correct drop-down list accordingly.

    Thank you

    Hello

    With a small change I think that the code works as expected. I changed your mainDD.value to event.value, as on the validate event the mainDD.value property cannot be updated as expected.

    script

    this.getField("Dropdown2").display = display.hidden;

    this.getField("Dropdown3").display = display.hidden;

    this.getField("Dropdown4").display = display.hidden;

    Switch (event.value)

    {

    case "a":

    this.getField("Dropdown2").display = display.visible;

    break;

    case "b":

    this.getField("Dropdown3").display = display.visible;

    break;

    case 'c ':

    this.getField("Dropdown4").display = display.visible;

    break;

    by default:

    break;

    }

    end of script

    Hope this helps

  • How to animate a drop-down list box?

    I have a combo box that get is filled from a web service. This can happen in the background, the user made other tasks.

    I would like the drop-down list box jiggle or bounce up and down when it gets its data. Can anyone offer ideas on how to do this?

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I found the rotation effect to work just great. Here is the code I used for anyone else who is interested:

    In my web service call that updates the drop-down list box, I declare the function jiggle on the result:

    public void jiggleComboBox(): void
    {
    cbxProjects.visible = true;
    jiggleStart.play ();
    }
    ]]>



    I love watching this combo box jiggle up and down. Laughing out loud

    Thanks again to all!
