LiveCycle ES2 data drop-down list issue

I'm trying to make a dynamic form based on a table in SQL 2008R2 database. I need to have a list that fills the data drop-down list database and then when this list item is selected, fill the rest of the document from the fields of the database based on the selection in the drop-down list. I understand the drop must be linked to the data connection, but I can't get the list items to act as if the documentation says they should. Here's what I've done so far:

1. under tools/options that I have appointed the data binding should display dynamic content.

2. I have created a data connection to the database and can see all the fields of data in the data view tab, and can also put these fields in the document.

3 when I place the list on the drop-down list data form, I indicates the list to be bound to the data connection that I created previously, and the tab link has this: ' $record. DataConnection. databasefield'.»

4. from what I understand, the field tab, list items should be a green hypertext link, and it isn't. I have no idea why, or how do I have to do from here.

I also asked a lot of the software, or am I missing something to make it happen. I have struggled with this for a few days now and I am ready to move on for reporting. If anyone can help?

Thanks for any advice or help

Hi again,

I opened your form and looked at the XML properties in the LiveCycle. I noticed that your form is only a form interactive but not considered a dynamic form.

In order to use the dynamic properties option, you need to create a dynamic form.

Unfortunately, your form is in fact an image and have no objects with the exception of the fields, so I did a quick for you.

I suggest you create a new form and redo the form.

Make sure you have dynamic properties when creating the new form, I don't know if master pages is the trick to get a PDF be interactive with the dynamic properties

If you have trouble doing this, let me know

I hope this will help you

  • "Data dashboard" version 2.0 list drop-down list seen only "one, two, etc.» Instead of the text Enum

    I am currently using the new data on an iPad dashboard 1. I'm coding in suite developer Labview 2012. I found that switches work very well when it is associated with a shared variable. I finally managed to get the drop-down list to control a shared variable of data type typedef/enum. This control very well within the Labview program, but on the dashboard of data drop-down list shows only the "One" "two" etc... instead of the text 'This' Enum 'As' 'Other' I can write back to the dashboard with a text conversion of the enum to the dashboard and place it in a display of string over the fall down. While this gives the operator a display of the current Typedef/enum, it is not very intuitive. They must select 'One' to view 'This' "two to display 'Than' etc...

    How can I get the dashboard of data drop-down list control to display the text of the enum instead of "one" "two" etc?

    I think the point was that your question belongs to this other forum, not the forum of LabVIEW.

  • Adobe LiveCycle upper tiny typed value in a drop-down list

    Please let me know if there is a way for a user (someone sent a form created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer to complete and send back) to be able to click on a menu drop down populated list and type a value that corresponds to one of the values in the drop-down list, but for the user do not have to worry about whether or not they type using all capital letters lowercase, or a mixture.

    For example, my XML data for this list is a list of over 1200 names as follows:

    < text > Jim Nazium < / text >

    Chuck Roast < text > < / text >

    < text > George Towne < / text >

    etc...

    I would like the user to be able to type "Geo" or "GEO" or "geo" and taking the part of the drop-down list for the first George, it is a...

    Thank you

    I used to do this workaround was to make the data all uppercase and then forcing user uppercase input.

    To force the capital letters, you can use the following on the change event:

    XFA. Event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase ();

  • Drop-down list data connection - several text fields-

    Hello to you all, guru out there. I'm new on Adobe LiveCycle, but I have some experience coding in other languages, but not of JavaScript and XML. Trying to get a user to select a client and then based on this selection, I want to return several address fields, a Contact name at the customer's location and a phone number. The data connection is an ODBC connection to our CRM software, and information are stored in a table. The user of the form will be our Service technicians, and the rest of the form will be a place to type notes about the service call. We just try to facilitate the choice of the customer for our Service technicians to rather than having to type all the information. I've searched the forums and the solutions that I keep coming across are values defined by the user in the drop-down list, I have not found an example that illustrates this with a data connection. I work from a return address field to a text field (using the command .rawValue), but I need to fill in some more information. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanking you in advance,

    SSCLadam

    THW way I did is to use two data connections. 1st one to fill the DDlist with a list of customers. In this one, I use simple bind to do the job. Then a 2nd connection that will extract the folder of figurines based on the selection of the DDlist. This requires the code a SQL DB to retrieve the appropriate record. To implement this data connection, I can use the provided column headers to bind columns in the fields in my form. Then when this data connection is open (I put to delayed opening) and it returns the file in question are bound fields get automagically populated!

    I've included a sample I created... .you won't have the Pb, but you can at least see what I did. The code is on the change event of the DDlist

    Hope that helps

  • New to LiveCycle.  Need help with drop-down lists.

    I just started playing with LiveCycle with PDF Forms.  One thing that I wonder if it is possible to do the link of the selections available in the drop-down lists.  For example, on a form with one question on this subject, I have 5 possible answers as the "ranking of your favorite in the order of most loved at least liked fruits".  Then I have a series of 5 drop down list with the first box containing boxes "Apple, pear, fishing, strawberry, grapes.  Is it possible to have someone to make a selection in the first box, their fruit in the list, and then the second box would have four options to choose?  Say if apple was their favorite, only, pear, fishing, strawberry and grape would be selection?  I tried to find an answer, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about the capabilities of LiveCycle, and/or how to work with scripts (I think that's what I see people using).  If someone could take the time to try to push myself through this, I would appreciate it, of course.

    Here's a form to date. I had to get help from a programmer friend, so it is a code evolved. I used a script object to reduce the volume of code.

    Take a look and let me know what you think.

  • How to pass data in the drop-down list to two separate outputs

    Hi all

    currently I have a drop-down list named chg with this value:
    ValeurRet += "< option >" + bean.getCode () + "-" + bean.getDescr () + "< / option >";
    Therefore, the value of my combo would be sth like this: 00000 - something

    the problem is that when I recover data return selected in the list, the value will be a string as above and not two separate the value.

    I need to pass the value here in order for me to compare the string containing the data in my database:
    nim.setCode (RutString.getParameterToString (request, "chg"));
    nim.setDescr (RutString.getParameterToString (request, "chg"));

    Now the data in my database is the following:
    Code: 00000
    DESC: something

    given that the above value is contained in the chg rather than the reverse, I couldn't use AS for my select statement.

    So is it possible for me this problem? Thnks in advance for your help!

    You can do two things:
    (1) pass the selection string from the sql query and use the sql functions (or pl/sql) to cut the chain and use only the part you are looking for (SQL has a SUBSTR function and others that allow you to do this)
    (2) you want to at any time in your workflow in a java class, you can do this with the String methods and the parts of the query string.
