Add a pop-up window

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 02:43:50 GMT

Hi,

How do I add a pop up window when a certain value (from a list box) is selected? For example, I have a list of names, and I would like a multibox with more information about the name to pop-up when a certain name is selected. I tried adding conditional statements and triggers, but it is not working.

Thanks

You could use a macro that is triggered by a selection on the field that contain a msgbox() with more detail, but I think the best way is to create a action that is triggered to show the detail whenever a value in the listbox is selected. The action changes a variable based on the selection count of the listbox. If the variable is set to 1 the detail is shown and if the variable is set to 0 the detail is hidden. I've attached an example.

Can you go through step-by-step how to create this action? I have created a variable based on the attached example, but I do not know how to assign the variable to a value.

Thanks

1. Go to Settings -> Document Settings

2. Select Trigger tab

3. In the Field Event Triggers window, select the field that the user will select to activate the "pop-up"

4. Click the Add Action button under the OnSelect label

5. Click Add

6. Select Action Type External

7. Select the action Set Variable

8. Click OK

9. In the Variable field enter in the name of the variable you created

10. In the Value field enter a formula like the following: =if(GetSelectedCount(Customer)=1,1,0)

11. Click OK

12. Click OK

The variable should be entered in the Conditional field in the Layout tab of the object you want to appear and disappear.

Give it a test by selecting one of the values in the list.

Karl is it possible to do a similar thing but based on mouse position? What I want is for the date filter panels to appear only when the mouse is at a certain coordinates, basically, like the left menu of this community, the look, share on facebook, twitter, favorite, email menu.

Thanks in advance!
