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.

  • How to make a pdf that can send a form to e-mail selected in a drop-down list box?

    I'm trying to be able to create a user of a pdf file I created, select an e-mail from a drop-down list box and then hit send and have it send to this email address that has been selected.

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello

    I don't think (maybe wrong) you can do this in InDesign. At the very least, you could draw the shape in InDesign, but I guess that the interactivity between the selection of the list and the action of mail should be done with Scripting Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer if you have.

    FWIW,

  • Selection of drop-down list box does not appear

    I've read several display on this site and others.  I can't find the right solution to get the drop-down list box to work.  I publish for Flash player 10 and AS 2.  The final file will be imported into an Articulate/PPT file.

    I'm simulating a form that my audience must fill.  2 text fields, I use a drop-down list box to select the appropriate entry.  If they leave the screen of the form, I need save their answers, so they need not start from the beginning.  I use global variables.

    My problem occurs when I try to fill the drop-down list using the previously selected public response box.  I tried to use setSelectedIndex.  It works insofar as the choice highlights in the drop-down list box, but the actual selection does not appear in the text box.  What I do pay Combobox.text = selection?

    just assign the selectedIndex property.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9: Javascript populated the drop-down list box - response selected array will not save

    I have a combo on one of my forms box that is filled with the help of a Javascript array.  The drop-down list box is filling very well, but when an item is selected in this drop-down list box, the selected item does not save when the user saves the document.  Any suggestions as to what is the problem and how it can be corrected?  I am a loss to know where even to start the search.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It seems that the drop-down list box may be getting filled with code that runs when the form is opened. If so, it will overwrite the value selected, whenever it opens. The solution would be to change the code so that it is not than that. If not, you can post the form somewhere so we can take a look?

  • 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:

    image for forums 2.PNG

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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;
    
  • Command to refresh a calculated field when you select an option from the drop-down list box

    When my form user selects an option in a drop-down list box, the value in the field (in this case, Total) I would like to update, but it isn't.

  • 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;
    }

  • 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.

  • I have one drop-down list box where one selection (options) is the other.

    I have one drop-down list box where one selection (options) is the other. If a user selects the other, I want to conceive the possibility for them to enter some Notes to describe their other. A pop-up window or the text box is possible? Do not know how to approach the issue... Thank you!

    The field in parentheses is the text (or drop-down menu or other) you want to display when "Other" is selected and hide when it is not.

    If you want to apply the same logic to several fields just duplicate this line of code, the field name in each copy of setting.
