Populate combobox with multiline field

May 11, 2011 8:13 AM

Is there a way to get an array of a multiline text field and put this array in a combobox?

I think i have to use the split() function, but i dont know how to do this.

I'm trying to find an easy way to populate a combobox.

This topic shows how you can split the value of a multiline text field's value at carriage returns: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/789976

You can then use the setItems field method to populate the combo box with the items: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_A croJS.88.752.html
