• Modification of the properties-type def drop-down list box

  I have a group of 32 cases of a def type. The def type contains several different types of control. What I have to do is to change the properties of the list box for each of the type defs. Normally, I would create an array of references to change the properties for each of the type defs, but when I try this I can not access the properties of string [] for combo box selections. The only way I found to fix it is to create a reference for each individual drop-down list box item. It is labour, since I'll have 32 elements. Is there a way to beeter to do this? The first screenshot shows the issui I'll have, not being able to change the properties of specific elements within each of the def type at runtime through a control [] array. The second screenshot shows the only solution I've found so far, which is not very practical.

  You will need to set up (for a more specific class) control to a type of combo box for the particular control [] index that has the combobox control if you want to access the drop-down list.

  You can also access the combobox in a cluster based directly, rigth click on the control reference and a link to the element cluster directly.

  The last option is to make the strictt of typdef will fill all instances with the channel list [] given that it is a strict property.

  the approach is based on the weather, you plan on changing the list during execution.

• Not by selecting for viewing, but don't drop-down list box option

  Is it possible to have an option in a drop-down list box that is the first thing that people see, but not a selection? The field is mandatory, but I don't want the first option to be shown. For example:

  < select a >

  option 1

  option 2

  option 3

  Thanks in advance

  Nope.

• Selection in the drop-down list box determines the text to display in another box - ideas?

  Hello, my name is Zac.  I spent a lot of time trying to figure this one out for myself, but I couldn't find what I needed.  A few threads looked promising, but I realized that they only apply to the LiveCycle.  Many other threads link to discussion 2006 Thom Parker on this subject, but it is very advanced and I feel that what I need is not as complex as the solution he proposes.  I've never used Adobe Acrobat until a few weeks ago, but with the help of Bernd Alheit and George Johnson I managed to create a document with fly-out help windows and scrolling lists and radio buttons which dictate the choice.  It's great and it works.  The last thing I have to do is to create a text box (or some kind of box) which will display a pre-written block of text based on the user choice in another area (a drop-down list box).  Like this:

  

  I wish, it is also easy to create because it draw a picture of him!  If the user selects "Algebra 1", for example, a specific description display below.  There are a lot of courses and descriptions, and the descriptions are long enough (as shown).  It is not necessary for the user to make changes to the description - in fact, which would be terrible.  But I would like to be able to copy text from it and paste the text in another area of text on the same page.

  Thank you very much, all those who have ideas please share them! Again wild guesses. I learn from all this.

• How to clear a drop-down list box

  OK, been awhile, here goes:
  
  I have a combobox non-Edition and 3 radio buttons.
  
  When I select a radio button, I have reset the items in the list and run:

      category.getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
       category.setValue(null);

  The intent is a new list, nothing pre-selected and invited him to display in the text box (?). And it seems to work at first.
  
  However, when I select the original square, the first list is restored, and the drop-down list box shows my original selection!
  
  I would like that the prompt as in other radio buttons. I can not even find where the initially select value is stored! It SEEMS that the selection is cleared, as the value, it's the control renderer displays always a selection, even if the previous list, he showed the guest
  

       templateToggle.selectedToggleProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Toggle>() {
              @Override
              public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Toggle> ov,
                      Toggle old_toggle, Toggle new_toggle) {
  
                  if (templateToggle.getSelectedToggle() != null) {
                      final String tmplType = ((RadioButton) templateToggle.getSelectedToggle()).getText();
                      Preferences.userNodeForPackage(Evidentia.class).put(Const.O_TMPL_TYPE,
                              tmplType);
  
                      Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
                          @Override
                          public void run() {
                              category.getSelectionModel().clearSelection();
                              category.setValue(null);
                              category.getEditor().setText("");  << was getting desparate
                              ListManager.getInstance().setTemplateCategoryList(TemplateDao.getInstance().findCategories(tmplType));   << template list is the list behind the combo
                          }
                      });
  
                  }
              }
          });

  Thoughts?

  This looks like a bug: you must file a JIRA for her.

  As you said, the State seems to be correctly updated: getSelectionModel () .getSelectedIndex () and getSelectionModel.getSelectedItem () return the correct value.

  The only solution I can find is to define an explicit Circus on the drop-down list box and call setText (null) on the circus to clear the displayed selection:

• Question about the use of the feature drop-down list box!

  I have a form that I am creating for our company that will allow our field nurses choose what they need and print more effieciently.  The problem is that some parts are too long and I can't get the Combo box feature to allow them to be printed on several lines:

  

  I talked to my supervisor to remake the shape to look like this:

  

  But so that we can meet the State's guidelines, it must be formatted like the first, because it is the form of the State given to us.  I want to be able to be:

  (A) that the automatic multi-line text of combo box size so it will get all the information in each box

  OR

  (B) create text boxes at the end of the automatic enteries selected data of the second picture form in boxes that look like the first photo.

  Is it possible to make one of these?

  (A) No.

  (B) Yes. Create a text box with the following code as the custom calculation

  script (assuming that the name of the drop-down list is "Combo Box1"):

  Event.Value = this.getField("Combo_Box1").value;

  For example, when the user makes a selection in the drop-down list box, the value will be

  also appear in the text box. Make sure to set the read-only text box

  and set the drop-down list box to apply the selection immediately.

• Set point problem selected in the drop-down list box that is the XML data provider

  HI - new to Flex, experienced Java dev., hoping someone can help me see the light of what should be easy but...
  
  I have a Flex 3 MXML application form that contains a ComboBox as follows:
  < mx:ComboBox id = "physRegion" editable = dataProvider = "{regionRequest.lastResult.region 'false'}" / > "
  
  The combo box is filled by the provider of data like:
  MX:HTTPService id = "regionRequest" url = "flexDAOServlet" resultFormat = "e4x" method = "POST" >
  < / mx:HTTPService >
  
  and the underlying XML code looks like this:
  <>region
  Northland < label > < / label >
  < value > 1 < / value >
  < / region >
  <>region
  Auckland < label > < / label >
  < value > 2 < / value >
  < / region >
  ...
  
  Drop-down list box loads the XML code very well. the user can select an item and the appropriate value is submitted to the server without problem. My problem is when I want to "recharge" the form with previous values.
  I can reload the text without problem fields.
  
  But I can't work in my ActionScript function, how to set the combo box so that it displays "Auckland" for example, the element with the value = 2. I'll be back this server id, even if I could get the XML code or label if that would help me solve this problem.
  
  I tried physRegion.selectedItem = "Auckland" - nope. "
  I tried physRegion.selectedItem = 2 - nope.
  I tried
  var XML = myXML:XML ("< region > < label > Auckland < /label > < value_2 > < value > < / region >");
  physRegion.selectedItem = myXML;
  and - nope.
  
  I know that I'm a new style user here error (and thank you for reading this far! your patience is appreciated) but I can't for the life of me see what it is. Can anyone help?
  
  Many thanks in advance for clues. Apart from that, I'm loving Flex.
  Kind regards

  Two things to note. The only problem with the function that has provided ChiefRocka00 is that it is based on the identifier of the data, which means your always limited to have that be the identifier of your value. Personally, I'll be back queries a lot of times where the labelFIeld and dataField aren't labels / data pairs a suggestion would be to add a third parameter and have it checked for this identifier instead of the data. The other thing to note is that it is more common to use selectedIndex instead of selectedItem. If you do not want to do something more like physRegion.selectedIndex = selectCboIndexByData ("physRegion, ' Auckland", label) by using the update function of

  public void selectCboIndexByData(theCbo,_theDataValue,_identifier:String):Number {}
  for (var i: Number = 0; i< thecbo.dataprovider.length;="">
  If (theCbo.DataProvider.getItemAt (i) [ID] == theDataValue) {}
  Return i;
  }
  }
  return 0;
  }

• How to change the items in a drop-down list box that is part of an array of clusters

  Hello

  In the attached vi, I have an array of clusters and each cluster contains two drop-down list boxes. How can I edit the items in the drop-down list box 1 for all elements in the array? (All elements of list box 1 has the same elements.)

  By way of illustration, I have also included the case of trivila, for example, edit the items in a separate drop-down list box that is is not part of an array of clusters (combo box 3). Please notify. Thank you.

  Peter

  Right click on the drop-down list box and select Create-> Node-> String() property. Place it on the block diagram. Change to write (right click) and then feed him an array of strings.

• 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.

• get the index of a selected item in a drop-down list box

  Hello

  If I have a list of strings in a drop-down list box and the user selects one in the drop-down menu, how can I get the index?  I was able to explore the table for the selected channel, but it seems like duplication of effort to create a list and then go back and research it.

  Thank you

  Brendon

  It's easier to change control of the ring or Enum which gives the index as a default value, a drop-down list box gives a string that must be converted. But if you like really graphic and you want to use the drop-down list you can uncheck the "use strings as values" option and enter the index as numbers and then make a string to Decimal conversion.

• Change the number of items in the drop-down list box when running

  I'm trying to change the number of items in one of my boxes of comobo.

  I have been through the help and this forum and have the values to within the drop-down list box change very well, but in a scenario, I want to go to three options for 2. And according to other choices to 3.

  I guess I have to use a property node but I can't understand that one.

  You can use the method to reset to zero (using an invoke node) before setting the [Strings] (after setting the value by default an empty array) or create an Xcontrol (you can see examples of LabVIEW for xcontrol).

• Data from the drop-down list box database

  Hello

  I'm trying to understand how to add information from a database to a drop-down list box. I read two columns, the first is used as the element and the second for the value.

• channels drop-down list box

  I'm trying to get some combo boxes to have their entries populated by a text file. I have read many entries of forum on 'string []' property, but he refuses to work for me. I want the combo box is editable by changing the entries in a text file.

  Does anyone can beat this code into submission? I get this error message on a controller GPIB needing to be in charge.

  I've included the vi, the text file, I want to fill the combo box 'Version number' and that it should be.

  You have several issues General, but here are the ones affecting your drop-down list box:

  1. In general, if you make copies of OR provided files, use new names.
  2. The VI you changed to read strings from the worksheet is bad DEFAULT.  You have the number of lines, by default 4 and start playback offset set by default to 132.  You get the error is because the file is not 132 bytes of data.  Definition of those to-1 and 0, repsectively will remove the error.  You should do this by opening the VI, change the value, then right-click and select "Data management"-> "Make current default value" for each of the two controls.
  3. Now, the VI you properly load the values in the file.
  4. There is no reason to replay the file whenever the user changes the value of the drop-down list box.  Read once at the beginning of the program.

• Properly handle output drop-down list box

  A drop-down list box will display one of the two types of data.  If it finds the value entered on the roll control on front panel in the column of the strings in the array [] strings and values, it will display the cell value.  Otherwise, it will display the string.  So, if my array strings and values looks like this:

  Red, 0

  Yellow, 1

  Green, 2

  I enter 'Orange', then the drop-down list box "Orange."  If I get "Yellow", then the combo box returns "1" rather than "yellow."

  Is there any method to determine the behavior that controls used?

  In fact, the data type is always a string. The 'value' should be interpreted as a numeric by you. On the top of my head, there are 2 ways you can do this:

  • Use the search D table 1 to find the Strings of [] property to see if the ComboBox Text.Text property is in the list of channels. If the output of the function is - 1, then you know he has simply removed the chain.
  • You can use the decimal digit? function to see if the value is numeric.

  I don't know that there are others.
