Setvalue of autocomplete field doesn't work - autocomplete

I want to set value of autocomplete field using xf:setvalue. I know that firstly I have to set value of field and then set label (#label). I try to do that in following way:
<xf:setvalue ref="xxf:instance('fr-form-instance')//*[name() = $autocomplete-name]" value="'myValue'"/>
<xf:setvalue ref="xxf:instance('fr-form-instance')//*[name() = $autocomplete-name]/#label" value="'labelValue'"/>
After that in form builder I see, that in main instance it looks properly:
<xf:instance id="fr-form-instance" xxf:exclude-result-prefixes="#all">
<form>
<section-5>
<control-10 label="labelValue">myValue</control-10>
</section-5>
</form>
</xf:instance>
but unfortunately in my autocomplete field there is no change. I can notice the change only if I go to 'edit source' button in form builder, and without any change, I click 'apply'. Then autocomplete is automatically refreshed and I see my label: 'labelValue'. What should I do, to refresh autocomplete field after setvalue ??
regards

You need to do this by setting the label of the autocomplete, not its value, which is done by dispatching the fr-set-label event to the autocomplete control. Then, internally, the autocomplete will do something very similar to what it does if the user had entered that label, in particular calling the service to retrieve the corresponding value.

Symfony Form add just a Label

What is the way of add just label into a form and modify its value with the entity atribute value related to the form. PRE_SET_DATA event is properly executed but I don't know how to set its value. Picture code and result:
Cheers!
There is no way to just add a label (without textArea) dynamically, at least in Symfony 2.8 . I worked it around using an non-mapped disabled text without label.
You have to ADD again the same element name into PRE_SET_DATA function and 'thanks God Symfony' it keeps the order.
Cheers everyone!!

Angular 2 - Dynamic Reactive form with Radio Inputs build with FormBuilder, FormGroup, FormArray

Case:
I have an array of answers which I want to show in the view as radio inputs. When one of the answers is already answered it must be [checked] and if it's [checked] a textarea shows, so far so good.
Next I want to check another radio input and I want the current selected to be deselected and its textarea hidden, then the new selected radio input should be [checked] and it's textarea should show.
I use the FormBuilder and FormArray and have following issues.
I can't use index without intrapolation, I see many examples where the index is used without.
If I select another radio input, first my data disappears and it's not checked and on the second click it get's checked but now both are checked.
- I don't have access to the checked event, I can show it in the view with {{tempVar.checked}} as you can see above, if I use a template variable #tempVar, but I don't have access to it in the textarea below *ngIf="tempVar.checked". If I do use it in the ngIf I get the following error
Expression has changed after it was checked. Previous value: 'false'. Current value: 'true'.
Questions:
Is this the right approach?
An example of a Reactive Dynamic form with FormBuilder and FormArray with Radio inputs
Here is my code
https://gist.github.com/webwizart/121c85a0f316f47977cc0c99455af7bf
I would think using the tags should be reserved for unique identifiers? I wouldn't be surprised if dom renderer will update all elements with the same id.
Not sure if this will help, but you could use an answer view model instead (containing the same data) but that also has a 'checked' property
This way you can be sure that it will behave as you would expect.
e.g.: (in your component.ts)
let answers = this.question.Question.PossibleAnswers
.map(a =>
{ return Object.assign({}, a, { checked: false });
}
);
then in html you use: 'answer.checked' instead of 'radio.checked'
ps: also you could use ng-container instead of span, so you don't have an extra DOM imprint in your html

install4j: Configurable form change visibility from drop-down list

I have a Configurable Form and i want to change the visibility of another field based on the value of a Drop-down list.
For example I have a Drop-Down list with entries A,B and the variable name for it is testDD.
I have a Text field smtpMailServer that I want to display only if testDD's value is A.
I have tried the following approaches in smtpMailServer's visibility without success:
return ((String) context.getVariable("testDD")).equals("A");
return (context.getVariable("testDD")).equals("A");
and I've also tried to add a script to testDD Change Selection Script with The following code
context.setVariable("ThisFormConfiguration", selectedItem);
And use the code above with ThisFormConfiguration instead of testDD. But it's not working.
Could you please help me?
Thanks!
I have tried the following approaches in smtpMailServer's visibility without success
The visibility script of a form component is only evaluated when the form is shown. You should keep it, but it only handles the initial condition.
and I've also tried to add a script to testDD Change Selection Script with
The following code context.setVariable("ThisFormConfiguration", selectedItem); A
Using the "Selection change script" property is the right idea, but your script has no effect. There is no live binding from the variables to the form components, the variable is read when the form is shown and updated when the user clicks "Next".
You have to use the following selection script:
formEnvironment.getFormComponentById("123").setVisible(selectedItem.equals("A"));
where "123" has to be replaced by the ID of the text field.

Preselected value in the PrimeFaces autoComplete

Is there a way to "combine" the SelectOneManu and autoComplete feature?
When the form is loaded I'd like that input field to display the current value of the bean property, plus ability to select a new value with autoComplete.
Primefaces already provides this already in the autocomplete component. Just look on the demo site. By adding the dropdown="true" on the autocomplete menu, you enable support for a dropdown. Concretely, follow the following steps to get your results
Set dropdown="true" on your autocomplete menu. Then set the completeMethod to correspond to a method on your backing bean that returns a list of the items you want to show up in the dropdown menu.
To preset the value on the autocomplete component, simply initialise the value in the backing bean to whatever you want. Take the following as an example. If you have
<p:autoComplete id="dd" dropdown="true" value="#{yourBackingBean.myVariable}" completeMethod="#{yourBackingBean.loadOptions}" />
In your backing bean, you initialise the myVariable type during it's declaration
String myVariable = "Desired Value";
If you're going to be populating the dropdown list with a list of complex/POJO types (and as a result, bind the value attribute to a complex type in the backing bean), you'll need to use the converter based autocomplete component implementation

Zend: Form Validation After AJAX

I have a form done with Zend. I load it with ajax in a dialog. It has 2 selects. Depending on what is selected in the first select, it loads the content of the second one. However, when I submit the form I get a validation error because the options of the second form weren't there at the time of creating it.
Is there a way to fix this "issue"? It does what it needs to do but I don't want it to verify that field anymore. Any way to specify that I don't want that?
You can disable the inArray validator. When constructing the form's select element, set
'registerInArrayValidator' => false
Also, a different solution would be to overload the isValid method, inspect the selected option for the first select element and then populate the options for the second element. Then call parent::isValid to check if the form is in fact valid or not.
