Dropping down a drop-down list via code

[TL_Norman]

I wish to make drop-down list expand when you enter the field (or via code) in addition to the normal drop down action when clicking on the arrow.

Hi,

Check out this post where there is a potential solution from Cyan Studios... http://forums.adobe.com/message/1358331#1358331

Also includes a link to a sample.

There is an openList() method that you can fire on the enter event, for example

// form1.page1.dd::enter - (JavaScript, client)

xfa.host.openList(form1.page1.dd);

but the list does not remain open.

I see a reference to a known problem, but not necessarily the same problem, at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405021.html . The solution does not have any effect in Acrobat/Reader 9.1.

Thank you the OpenList is exactly what I was looking for.

I gues I need to dig into the xfa object in greater detail.

Hi Steve,

I am having that same problem right now where the list doesn't remain open.  It's been a few years since this thread was updated but I found it upon searching for the same issue.  Do you know of a resolution?

Thank you so much in advance!!!
