Cant' edit the fields of "specify Item values" for drop down list binding

[florian_halder]

Hey,

• Version 1:

I have a problem with the binding of a drop down list to a table. I found a lot threads arround this, but at one point it doesent work for me.

on a thread i found this instructions from otto:

Follow:

1) in LCD menu - Tools - Options - Data binding - Show dynamic properties - should be TRUE

2) goto drop down Object - Binding - Specify Item values

3) click on the "Specify..." text

4) a dialog box appear with 3 lines

Items: YOURTABLE.DATA[*]

Item text: YOURFIELD

Item value: YOURFIELD

This should work for you. Good luck, Otto

but on step 4. i cant edit one of these fields. They are grey.

If I bind my dropdown listbox to one field of a table, it looks like this:

Items: myBoundedField

Item text: text

Item value: key

I cant bind the dropdown to a table line, only to a specific field.

The property in step 1 is set to true. My Adobe Lifecycle version is 8.0.

Is there another property I forgot? What I'm doing wrong?

Or is Version 2 the better one?

• Version 2

In another thread I found another solution, how I fill the drop down list.

There I only have to bind the drop down list to a field. Thr rest happens on the web dynpro.

I implemented the wddonit method like this:

    DATA lo_nd_z_iaf_02_1 TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA node_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
    DATA: lt_dd_values type table of  WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
    DATA: ls_dd_value type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
    DATA: lv_str type string.

*   navigate from <CONTEXT> to <Z_IAF_02_1> via lead selection
    lo_nd_z_iaf_02_1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_z_iaf_02 ).

*   get node info
    CALL METHOD lo_nd_z_iaf_02_1->GET_NODE_INFO
      RECEIVING
        NODE_INFO = node_info
        .
*   create value sets
    DO 25 TIMES.
       lv_str = sy-index.
       CONDENSE lv_str NO-GAPS.
       ls_dd_value-text = lv_str.
       ls_dd_value-value = lv_str.
       APPEND ls_dd_value to lt_dd_values.
    ENDDO.

*    Set Value_sets to node_info
     CALL METHOD NODE_INFO->SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SET
      EXPORTING
        NAME      = 'MY_DD_FIELD'
        VALUE_SET = lt_dd_values
        .

This works finde, but I'm also interested on the first way provided by otto.

Hi,

There are some problem with the Drop Down List in ALD 8.0.

Download this patch file from SAP Sevice Market Place and Install this on your machine, this will solve your problem.

We also faced a similar problem, during design time whenever we try to bind a value (Dynamic) the live cycle designer will close. After installing this patch file our issue was solved. May be your issue also solved after installing this patch file.

ALD80P_5-10003706.EXE   Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 Patch
Support Package ADOBE LIVECYCLE DESIGNER 8.0 # OS independent

Hi,

thanks for your response.

I had the same problem as you desribe on a copied test formular from SAP.

There I was able to edit the binding an then the live cycle designer closed. This is fixed with the patch.

Now I think I figured out my other problem, I used the drop down of the WebDynproNative elements and not the standard drop down list.

If I use the standard drop down list I can edit the fields.

So, is it right that I have to use the standard one? Whats the differenc between each other?

Hi,

when I use the standard drop down list an bind it to a table, which I fill with data in the wddoinit method of the web dynpro view, I get an error when loading the application.

WebDynpro Exception: Der Aufruf des ADS schlug fehl: ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: No output was generated while rendering: Stream for: PDFOut.(200.101).

So the call of the ADS failed.....

Any idea?

If I do not fill the table with data, the web dynpro application starts, but nothing happens when I click on the button/arrow of the drop down list. Should not at least open a empty list?

Thanks and regards

Florian

Hi,

sorry I did it the something wrong.

With standard drop down list and the version 1 (instructions of otto) it works now also.
