• If statement to change the items in a drop-down list

  Is there a way to change the options in a drop-down list in a script (without data binding)? So I have a drop down list and depending on what the user selects the second drop-down list will have different options. These elements can be specified by an if statement in the preOpen the second dropdown list event? The form will be filled out offline, so I don't want to put a link of data binding.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  There are at least two ways, as shown in http://forums.adobe.com/message/4321707#4321707.  Basically clearItems/addItem if pre Reader 9.0 or setItems supported if you use Reader 9.0 or later.

• Populate drop-down list with the results of several drop-down lists

  Hi, I am creating a form where the results of two drop-down lists then would fill another drop-down list. I'm not new to javascript, but I'm new to using it in Acrobat, so while I found some answers to this: Drop-down list fill in multiple fields of text. I don't know where to implement this, if it is still the right thing, I'm looking for pipes for

  Oh and I use Acrobat Pro DC. Any help would be much appreciated!

  OK, you can create a function at the level of the document that is called in the Validate event of each of the two first drop down menus, something like:

  Function in JavaScript to the document level

  function updateDropdown() {}

  Get references to the drop-down menus of entry

  var F1 = getField ("DropdownList1");

  var F2 = getField ("DropdownList2");

  Refer to the output drop-down list

  F3 var = getField ("DropdownList3");

  Get the values of input field, as strings

  var s1 = event.target = f1? Event.value: f1.valueAsString;

  var s2 = event.target = f2? Event.value: f2.valueAsString;

  Fill the drop-down list of output with the elements, or deselect it if either input dropdown is 'empty' (single topic area)

  If (s1 = "" |) s2 === " ") {

  F3.clearItems ();

  } else {}

  F3.setItems (["", s1, s2]);

  }

  }

  In the two first downs Validate event, call this function like this:

  updateDropdown();

  You can of course name the function you want. More information about the properties and the methods used in the code are available in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.

• Make visible or invisible drop according to the value of another drop-down list. Help!

  Hello

  I need to create the following form... I want to choose at the beginning of the shape between 3 options (imagine: 'Opt1', 'Opt2' and 'Opt3'). And after that, I would like to make visible 10 different lists. I mean, if I choose 'Opt1', 10 drop-down lists related to 'Opt1' will become visible (the drop-down list together, including the text of the title and the clean drop-down list). Otherwise, if I choose 'Opt2', 10 drop-down lists related to 'Opt2' will become visible and the same 'Opt3 '.

  This problem, which seems to be very easy to resolve, it is impossible for me. I have read hundreds of forums and manuals, but I can't find the solution. I tried with several thousands of events, but I can't do the form works as I want... So, please, can someone help me?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  Here is an example. The script is located in the event of changing the drop-down list. The easiest way is to group your drop-down menus in subforms, then simply script for the visibility of three subforms, instead of 30 drop-down menus.

  The script focuses on the choice of the user and changes the visibility by using a switch statement. One if exposed to the exit event would work as well.

  switch (xfa.event.newText)
  {
       case 'Option 1':
            option1.presence = "visible";
            option2.presence = "hidden";
            option3.presence = "hidden";
            break; 
  
       case 'Option 2':
            option1.presence = "hidden";
            option2.presence = "visible";
            option3.presence = "hidden";
            break; 
  
       case 'Option 3':
            option1.presence = "hidden";
            option2.presence = "hidden";
            option3.presence = "visible";
            break; 
  
       default:
            option1.presence = "hidden";
            option2.presence = "hidden";
            option3.presence = "hidden";
            break;
  }
  

  Note that all three subforms are hidden in Design view. The drop-down list choice makes the appropriate subform visible.

  In design mode, you can select a subform in the view of the hierarchy and in the object/field tab change its visibility to visible, if you want to work on it in the design.

  Hope that helps,

• Make a field of text/hide according to the results of a drop-down list box

  Hello

  I wonder if someone could help me with this. I want to show/hide some text boxes in my form according to the choice made by the person filling in. For example, there is a dropdown list containing a selection of numbers 1-4. If 1 was selected, the text boxes below 1 would be visible and obligatory, if the 2 have been chosen, 2 text boxes below would be visible and required etc...

  I'm new to FormCalc (only started using it this morning), so simple a possible explanation would be fantastic.

  Thanks for reading!

  Of course, you can have javascript and formcalc in the form. Not only the two in the same field, same event; D

  Okey, let's try some things:

  (1) check if the "binding" from the drop-down list is the same as the values that you choose. In the script you are referring to the bound values.

  (2) other names for the Textfields would be better, because it is more difficult to refer to "Textfield1 [1]" then to for example: 'New '. I was just to lazy to give them names. (If it's on another page or subform, you refer to the fields correctly: as MyForm.FirstSubform.FirstTextfield... this name lies in the specific script field.)

  (3) check your script once more... want to make invisible mandatory fields?

  (4) check if your form is dynamic. (If it isn't you will not see the changes...)

  You should probably do it in small steps, such as:

  (1) first of all, you refer to areas such as:

  This.rawValue = Firstfield.rawValue;

  If the changed value fields got you its name and to be sure that the event you put is the right one.

  (2) try the different parts of the script and look at how it works. Problems can be more easily found and then

• Select the point in combobox/drop-down list, fields to update

  Hello

  I have a drop-down list. When a user makes a selection, I would like to query a database and return the results to be displayed in a form. Note, I don't want users to have to press a button, it should happen when an element is pressed. It sounds simple enough, but because I'm new, I'm fighting.

• Help select the value from a drop-down list box

  Hello

  I develop a script (in JavaScript) which will allow a user to select an export PDF presets (that are loaded in a drop-down list) and then export the InDesign file to PDF, by using the selected PDF preset.

  I have the combo fill properly and I am also able to export to PDF correctly, however I have a problem setting the preset has been selected by the user. Here are some of my code fragments:

  Drop-down list:

  with(borderPanels.add()) {
  
       pdfDD = dropdowns.add();
  
       sl = new Array();
  
       for (i = 0; i < app.pdfExportPresets.length; i++)
  
       sl.push(app.pdfExportPresets[i].name);
  
       pdfDD.stringList = sl;
       pdfDD.selectedIndex = 0;
  }
   
  ...
   
  myPreset = pdfDD.selectedIndex;

  In PDF format:

      // Open, Export, & Close
      for (i = myFileAmount; i >= 0; i--) {
          app.open(File(myFolderContents[i]));
  
          createHyperlinks();
  
          app.activeDocument.exportFile(

      }

  During the passage of myPreset, it is defined as 6 (the index from the drop-down list).  How can I set myPreset that the real value of what has been chosen?

  Thank you!

  In view of your code, you probably need something like:

  myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName (pdfDD.stringList [pdfDD.selectedIndex]);

• 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.

• Customize the Format of text, drop-down lists

  Hey all,.

  I have problems of customization of the top botton label of a water drop down. I can customize cell converters labels, but the top label is not affected and is always Times New Roman... Any ideas what I'm missing here?

  Here is a screenshot:

  

  Here's my CellRenderer customized for the drop down:

  Hey,.

  I've done some research more and similarly to another thread involving the selector, the own only cut the way to do it is by creating a class sup from the drop-down list. However, this one is kind of weird. Once again, with assistance from flash builder, I could see the protected class drop-down list properties and the objective here is the purpose of __button. now the weird part is that its type is a DropDownButton. they took that as an accessible API since the new update. but I managed to make some changes anyway.

  so the solution, create a void called CustomDropDown class that extends the class from the drop-down list. After that, in the constuctor, use the this.__button.getTextFormatForState () method to manipulate the textformat of the button. Here is an example:

  ListTests.as:

  package{   import flash.display.Sprite;  import flash.display.StageAlign;  import flash.display.StageScaleMode;
  
    import qnx.ui.data.DataProvider;  import qnx.ui.listClasses.DropDown;   import qnx.ui.listClasses.List;
  
    [SWF(width="1024",height="600",backgroundColor="#E8E8E8",frameRate="30")] public class ListTests extends Sprite {     private var myList:CustomDropDown;       private var myDataProvider:DataProvider;      private var myArray:Array;
  
        public function ListTests()       {         super();
  
            // support autoOrients            stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;            stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
  
            myList = new CustomDropDown();           myArray = new Array();
  
            myArray.push({label: "Thomas Luddington"});           myArray.push({label: "Master Maruyn"});           myArray.push({label: "Master Gardyner"});         myArray.push({label: "Captain Vaughan"});         myArray.push({label: "Master Kendall"});          myArray.push({label: "Master Prideox"});          myArray.push({label: "Robert Holecroft"});            myArray.push({label: "Rise Courtenay"});          myArray.push({label: "Master Hugh Rogers"});          myArray.push({label: "Thomas Foxe"});         myArray.push({label: "Edward Nugen"});            myArray.push({label: "Darby Glande"});            myArray.push({label: "Edward Kelle"});            myArray.push({label: "Iohn Gostigo"});            myArray.push({label: "Erasmus Clefs"});           myArray.push({label: "Edward Ketcheman"});            myArray.push({label: "Iohn Linsey"});         myArray.push({label: "Thomas Rottenbury"});           myArray.push({label: "Roger Deane"});         myArray.push({label: "Iohn Harris"});
  
            myDataProvider = new DataProvider(myArray);
  
            myList.dataProvider = myDataProvider;
  
            myList.setPosition(10,10);            myList.width = 300;
  
            addChild(myList);
  
        } }}
  

  CustomDropDown.as:

  package{   import qnx.ui.listClasses.DropDown;   import qnx.ui.skins.SkinStates;
  
    public class CustomDropDown extends DropDown {     public function CustomDropDown()      {         super();
  
            this.__button.getTextFormatForState(SkinStates.UP).font = "Comic Sans MS";            this.__button.getTextFormatForState(SkinStates.SELECTED).font = "Comic Sans MS";          this.__button.getTextFormatForState(SkinStates.DOWN).font = "Comic Sans MS";          this.__button.getTextFormatForState(SkinStates.DOWN_SELECTED).font = "Comic Sans MS";                  } }}
  

  And Yes, clearly I'm a fan of Comic-who isn't?

  Yet once, it is going to work identical to the drop-down list but instead allows you to set your own font. in fact, you can create a new method which is what I did in the above code, so you can change the font on the fly without having to make five different subclasses just to change the textformat! hope that helps. Good luck!

• drop-down lists on the forms don't drop-down list

  I use Firefox 3.6.16 on Mandriva 2010.2 and for the last two months, the drop-down lists don't dropdown. I thought a patch would come out to fix it or it would be one of my modules cause. There was an update recently and it has not fixed. Today, I've disabled all addons and restarted, but still it does not allow me to make a choice with the mouse.

• dynamically load the Options in a drop-down list in C++

  Hey guys,.

  I'm trying to dynamically load items Option in a drop-down list by using C++.  I have a function in my class of WorkManager file that does the trick:

      QList  myObjects = m_model->toListOfObjects();

  J

  First, drop the:

  dpList->setSelectedOption(0);
  

  Not only if it is not necessary, but it will explode your application if the function is called when there is already no options in the menu dropdown.

  Also, do NOT delete the task, because it is still owned by the datamodel. I also see that you use type casting C, which just blindly accepts your cast, even if it's a mistake. Instead, if you know for sure what kind it will be this way instead:

  Task* myTask = static_cast(myObjects[i]);
  

  If you are not sure if the type you are casting the is the type you need, use the dynamic_cast instead:

  Task* myTask = dynamic_cast(myObjects[i]);
  

  The advantage of this more static_cast , is that if you try to perform a type cast is not compatible, then myTask will be set to NULL.

  Alternatively, Qt offers a replacement for dynamic_cast which works on platforms where is not regular C++ casts.

  Task* myTask = qobject_cast(myObjects[i]);
  

  It is functionally equivalent to dynamic_cast, but as I said, it works on all platforms that Qt exists, whereas dynamic_cast cannot.

  Once you did get back to us.

  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.
