Update of list box strings [] programmatically in a table

Hello

I have an application that has several sites on the front where the user can select variables shared by using a shared variable control. I would like to replace these controls, which are heavy for the operator to select from variables published, to drop-down list boxes that list only the names of variables in a current published library. I have no problem cela providing you a shared list of variables and update the strings [] property in a drop-down list box. Then I can easily convert data types to use as shared variables elsewhere in my program.

However, I have a few questions. First, in some cases, the shared variable controls are inside a table, and I do not know how to fill the combo box selections in the table. Perhaps there is an easy way that I'm missing...?

Second, there are a lot of controls of shared variable that I will need to update the areas drop-down list, and in each case, I have to fill out of th drop-down list boxes programmatically. Is there an easier way to do it with the custom controls or type defs or something, so that I can just bring a control on the front panel that will always fill up with variables shared in my library?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I rarely disagree with Ben, but a driving force seems to be overkill for a job you want to do it once when the application starts.  Simply create a first reference your comboboxes (shouldn't be too much work unless you have a large number of them), then loop through the array, as shown:

  • 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.

    You can use this code as the custom text field calculation script, but it will update as soon as you leave the list box:

    var v = this.getField("List Box1").value;
    if (typeof v=="string") event.value = v;
    else event.value = v.join(", ");
    
  • 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();

    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

    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:

  • 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
    Adrian

    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 do I change the list box within a cluster

    I have a cluster with multiple controls in it. One of them is a combo box on which I need to occasionally change the items to the breast. If the drop-down list box out of the bunch, I could easily access 'Strings []' property of the combo box. However, when inside of the bunch, I don't seem to not be able to get this property. In the excerpt below, the drop-down list box is the control at index 1. I get out of the reference to this control, connect it to a 'property node' and the 'Strings []' property is not found.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello

    Take this simple way, create a node prperty for the cluster that you have, right-click on the prperty node and select link to, browse lists void until the drop-down list box. See attachment.

  • 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.

  • By programming the auto scroll value multi-column list boxes?

    I have a Multi column list box control that I put off (for indication only) which is used to show the progress.

    When a profile is loaded in the list box if this profile causes the scroll bar to become active it's obviously disabled and if the user cannot scroll

    That the control is disabled, the scroll bar is also disabled is there anyway that I can programmatically on the AutoScroll scroll bar?

    Hello

    You can use the property of the listbox multicoum ' cell upper left Visible.

    If your listbox multicoloum is disabled you can put vertical cursors or something on the front and give the value of the cursor to the line/Coloum (vertical scrollbar) and Coloum for the horizontal scroll bar to the "cell upper left Visible.

  • 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).

  • One of the two list boxes other work returns null.

    To the right,.

    I work with an earlier program not created by myself and I have a strange behavior in a list box.  There are two areas of list with the proper functioning and the other indicates a null value in the data.  When you look at the front panel, you will see two boxes on the right side.  One marked 'file for L1 Test' one 'File for L2 Test' is not working.  Even if the path in the filenames in the L2 box fail in the program and when you explore the test line, you get a "" to the probe.  No idea why one works and the other does not?
