Using LiveCycle Designer 9 (Acrobat 9 standard), Windows 7 platform: dynamic form, flowable subforms
Since Drop Lists do not support multiple selections, I have put in a listbox. But this list box is LONG and I do not like the way it displays choices (not to mention I do not want to eat up the form space) so I created a button and a calculated textfield, and set the listbox presence = “hidden” on the page initialization.
The “Select Items” button sets the listbox presence to “visible”, and any choices the user selects is set as the rawValue for the calculated textfield - when the listbox is exited an EXIT code hides it again.
Is there a more elegant way of doing this? I wish I could parse out the selection from the listbox into the textfield separated by commas (instead of top-down as it comes in), but it seems a gross code to do that…
