I played around with the setItems method to push values into drop down list.
This is what the documentation says about its parameters:
param1 | A list of items and values separated by a comma. For example, "One,Two,Three" or "One,1,Two,2,Three,3". For items without values, leave the value blank. For example, "item1,value1,item2,item3". |
param2 | The number of columns per item. For example, the itemValueList string, "One,1,Two,2,Three,3" has numColumns=2. An itemValueList "One,Uno,1,Two,Due,2,Three,Tre,3" has numColumns=3 while an itemValueList "One,Two,Three" has numColumns=1. The value of 1 is the default. |
From that you might think you can use setItems("One,Uno,1,Two,Due,2,Three,Tre,3", 3); to create a 3 columns drop down list.
<items>
<text>One</text>
<text>Two</text>
<text>Three</text>
</items>
<items>
<text>Uno</text>
<text>Due</text>
<text>Tre</text>
</items>
<items save="1" presence="hidden">
<text>1</text>
<text>2</text>
<text>3</text>
</items>
This is just wrong.
The XFA specification only allows 2 <items> elements for field elements, so the setItem() method will always fail if the second parameter is larger than 2.
