Show drop-down list field hide selection in another drop-down list box
Hello I need to create two drop-down fields on a dynamic PDF in LiveCycle. The first field contains three choices. When a user selects an item in the drop-down list first I would like to a new field of drop-down list has been shown. For each item in the first drop-down list appears a new field drop-down list with unique values. If the user chooses blue drop-down list of blue shades indicate in this menu drop-down will be various shades of blue to choose for. If the Red is chosen, Shades of Red dropdown with appearance and if yellow is displayed the same occurs. Also if the user must go back and change their selection in the first drop-down list, they can do the same. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
There are 2 ways you could do this. The first is just to have the 3 drop-down lists for the second box to separate and do them all hidden. The output of the first dropdown event would then have the code that would make it the second box become visible, something like (in formcalc):
If ($ == 1) then
dropdownRed.presence = "visible".
dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".
dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".
ElseIf ($ == 2) then
dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".
dropdownBlue.presence = "visible".
dropdownYellow.presence = "hidden".
ElseIf ($ == 3) then
dropdownRed.presence = "hidden".
dropdownBlue.presence = "hidden".
dropdownYellow.presence = "visible".
endif
The other option is just to have a dropdown that dynamically changes its options based on the results of the first box. So in the second box preOpen event you might have something like (in formcalc):
If (dropdown1 == 1) then
$. clearItems()
$.setItems ("light red, dark red")
ElseIf (dropdown1 == 2) then
$. clearItems()
$.setItems ("sky blue, dark blue")
ElseIf (dropdown1 == 3) then
$. clearItems()
$.setItems ("light yellow, dark yellow")
endif

Forms - selection drop-down list box makes other fields appear
I am building a form in InDesign that I export to PDF format with several fields (text, drop-down list, radio, checkboxes). Some fields are defined to trigger the visibility of other fields and that works very well. What I want to do and what I can barely reach, is to have a selection for a combo box, make 3 other visible fields. I'm just a beginner when it comes to buttons in InDesign and the forms of the suggestions would be appreciated.
If it is easier to achieve in Acrobat I try too.
In case someone sees this in the future, I found a site with a solution which works perfectly and it's so EASY!

Filling of a numeric field by selecting from a drop-down list
Hello all;
I went through the 38 pages on the form now to try to understand it myself. I must have missed something or this day becomes medium long.
I am filling a numeric field that is based on what is selected in a drop-down list box.
For the test, I use only 2 fields
DropDownList1 and digital Field1
I If (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) { }
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
}
On the other;
(DropDownList1.rawValue == 2) { }
NumericField1.rawValue = 35;
}
That worked. I am now getting the error "missing; before the statement
"6:xfa: form1 [0]: #subform [0]: DropDownList [0]: output"
Specify the value of points is checked in the tab links for DropDownList1.
I said this with a single selection, who worked
if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) { }
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
}
Thank you all
Chomp
If it's a copy/paste of your script, you have a semicolon after the "else" and "else" should be lowercase.
And for nested IFS, you need an "else if", so:
If (DropDownList1.rawValue == 1) {}
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
}
Else if (DropDownList1.rawValue == 2) {}
NumericField1.rawValue = 35;
}
ElseIf...
If you have a lot of statements, you might want to look at using a statement that may be easier to read.
{Switch (DropDownList1.RawValue)}
case '1 ':
NumericField1.rawValue = 25;
break;
case '2 ':
NumericField1.rawValue = 35;
break;
etc.

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.
A radio button option box makes the Total-development field to automatic update when the user clicks on the radio button. But the drop-down list box is not updated Total (without clicking away from the field). I would like to add a command in the Combo Box to refresh the Total field when you selected the option to drop-down list box.
Someone at - it a code (Javascript?) to get there.
Thank you very much.
You don't need a script, simply select the 'Value selected to validate immediately' checkbox on the Options tab of the dialog list box drop-down list box field properties.

? Selections of list box to show/hide form fields
OK, so I want to use a list box to control the fields on form on my page are visible or hidden. I have no problem creating the list and adding items to the list, but were not able to understand what I need to connect each selection in the relevant script form field I want that he controls.
So, basically, I want to know what javascript is required in order to allow the end user to select one or more items of the listbox and have these fields become visible on the page. How can I do this?
Had a look at your code and you complete the loop before running your tests. If moldy either inside the loop for. statements I have modified your code (reformatted into it a bit so it is easier to read) and it included here.

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.

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
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")
- 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;

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

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.

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
AdrianTwo 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.
