Re: how to add items in existing combobox

Hi Gopinath,

You can add values to an existing ComboBox using AddListItem method of FormEditor class. You can use the following code snippet to add values:

//create new object of FormEditor class
FormEditor formEditor = new FormEditor("form.pdf", "output.pdf");
//add new item with export value
formEditor.AddListItem("combobox", new string[] { "First", "First" });
formEditor.AddListItem("combobox", new string[] { "Second", "Second" });
formEditor.AddListItem("combobox", new string[] { "Third", "Third" });
formEditor.AddListItem("combobox", new string[] { "Fourth", "Fourth" });
//save output PDF file
formEditor.Save();

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do let us know.

Re: how to add items in existing combobox

Thanks for your reply. In output of pdf file, added items are not effected in combobox. Is there any file attributes i need set?

my code is,

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
                string templatePdf = Server.MapPath(@"\Xml\Input.pdf");
                string templatePdfOutput = Server.MapPath(@"\Xml\Output.pdf");

                FormEditor formEditor = new FormEditor(templatePdf, templatePdfOutput);

                formEditor.AddListItem("AccountCurrency", new string[] { "0", "000000000" });
                formEditor.AddListItem("AccountCurrency", new string[] { "1", "111111111" });
                formEditor.AddListItem("AccountCurrency", new string[] { "2", "222222222" });
                formEditor.AddListItem("AccountCurrency", new string[] { "3", "333333333" });
                formEditor.Save();
Response.AppendHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=RequestForm.pdf");
                Response.WriteFile(templatePdfOutput);
                Response.Flush();
                Response.End();

Re: how to add items in existing combobox

Is there any additional information regarding this issue? I have an XFA form and we can not fill the drop down list.

Re: how to add items in existing combobox

I have found a way to add items to a drop down but I can't add Value/Text combination only text. Is this possible and how?

Thanks

Re: how to add items in existing combobox

Hi David,

You may try this overload of AddListItem which allows you to specify label and export value for the combobox field.

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please do let us know.

Re: how to add items in existing combobox

I could not get this working. the code I am using for a test is:

string[] vals = new string[] { "xxx", "val 1" };
frmEditor1.AddListItem("topmostSubform[0].TopSixSectionSub[0].LeftColumn[0].ChildInfoSub[0].student_grade[0]", vals);

When I use just an export value it works as expected but there is no Label/Export Value pair. When I use the code above it executed but no changes are made to the form. I am using a Dynamic XFA form. Is my code incorrect or is there a work-around?
