How to get Value help in Adobe forms

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

Can anyone tell me how to get Value help in adobe form from a field of database table which is associated with search help. It comes by default in the web dynpro ABAP. Is it possible to get it on the form. Please help.

Thanks and Regards.

Hello Vaibhav,

Make sure that the field defined in your node in the context on the web dynpro view or if defined at the component controller level has the search help defined. Usually if the search help is tied to the database table's field name the 'Input Help Mode' of type automatic should display the determined search help.

If that setting is there then in the adobe form create an input field of the type Webdynpro native->"Value help drop down list". Then bind your database field to this input field.

When you do that the object type of the field changes to text_field change that back to a drop down field from the pick list provided for the objects and then activate it and test it out.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and best regards,

Hi Mandrake,

I didn't found any solution for it except that the database table fields for which the value range is defined it comes automatically for them on the form if we use dropdown list.

oh ok. Thanks. I knew how it works with ABAP WD. I was thinking that you are using JAVA WD. I'm using JAVA WD and finally got the values populated but only the first value is visible. Working on that.

Hi Vaibhav,

How did you managed to get this working ?

Is this simple data binding to a webDynpro ActiveX Value help dropdown list in Interactive froms ?

Yes, Anil its simple data binding to any type of drop down list from form library. But the attribute to which the field is bound should be a field from a table for which the value range is defined. Then its possible to get the values in a drop down list.
