I am building a google app via the google app maker and have a drop down box with a list of values. What I want is a value to be displayed in a text box based on the value selected in the drop down.
So if you select "X" from the drop down "Y" appears in the textbox
If you select "A" in the drop down "B" appears in the textbox etc
I am very, very new to app maker - all my coding knowledge is in VBASIC.
There are different ways to achieve the desired result, but basically you need to start with setting both names and options for you dropdown:
Once you have that I would recommend to bind dropdown's value to something real, like datasource's filter (#datasources.Orders.query.filters.Type._equals) or to particular record's field (#datasource.item.SomeCoolField).
In case you are just learning App Maker and trying to do different things, you can bind both dropdown's and textbox's values to page's Custom Property.

Let me start off by saying I have very limited knowledge of Javascript.
I've got a Dropdown menu called: CustomerType with 6 values in it.
Basically I just want whatever is selected in the dropdown to display again in another part of the PDF.
Can anyone help?
First set the properties on the dropdown to commit the value immediately. See image.
Then on the "calculate" script for the other field, enter the JavaScript below. You'll need to change the field names to your actual field names.
this.getField("myOtherField").value = this.getField("myDropdown").value;
You'll want to set the other field to read-only as well since the value is calculated.
I'm used to using boolean bindings with IBM buttons to track if a button is clicked. The button in Brazos UI can be bound to any variable type but doesn't make automatic updates to booleans. How do I use bindings with Brazos UI buttons to track which was last-clicked?
The binding of a button is really only useful in tables. The acceptance of ANY variable type for the binding of a button stems from the use of determining the index of a selected row or obtaining the entire row object:
If you bind and integer to the button in a table, the binding will update with the index of the row when the button is clicked.
If you bind a variable of the same (singular) type as the table's binding, then clicking the button will update the binding with that row's data.
Both of those are handy interactions with the table control but don't work for tracking which button is clicked when used elsewhere on a coach. For that, you want to utilize the 'Button Control ID' configuration option. The most direct method is to bind the same string variable to all of the buttons you need to track. When clicked, a button will update that shared variable to match its own control ID. You can then use that unique ID in various scripting checks to take button-specific actions.
See the BP3 Help Center article for greater detail about this, including some examples: https://support.bp-3.com/hc/en-us/articles/217985767-Using-Button-Binding-with-Brazos-UI
In RadGrid filter , i am using
CurrentFilterFunction="Contains",AutoPostBackOnFilter="true"
Every thing is fine , But one issue I've noticed is that if the user types in the the filter text box and then clicks on the menu to select another option, the default filter is immediately applied, and what i have chosen option from menu that is not opening.
And also i don't want use "FilterDelay" because it is filtering automatically after time interval.
Here i want, When Press on Enter or Tab Buttons filter should work and when user type some text in filter textbox next click on any option from menu that will open.
Can any one give solution?
Thanks..
Well, basically with RadGrid and filtering you can't have it both ways. If you define both CurrentFilterFunction and set AutoPostBackOnFilter to true. You can't expect the filtering menu to work the way you want to. That is because AutoPostBackOnFilter will rebind the grid when the filter textbox loses focus (if the value has changed), so if you change the value of the filter textbox and then you want to select a different filter function(using the filtering menu) the grid will refresh before you get to select an item from the filtering menu. What you can do is...
Keep the CurrentFilterFunction, set the AutoPostBackOnFilter to true and then set ShowFilterIcon to false so that users can NOT select a different filtering function, or...
Keep the CurrentFilterFunction, set the AutoPostBackOnFilter to false and then set ShowFilterIcon to true so that users are able to select a different filtering function but notice that you will be dropping a functionality here as well...users will have to MANUALLY select a filtering function in order to filter the grid rather than pressing ENTER
As mentioned, you can't enable both AutoPostBackOnFilter and the filter icon at the same time otherwise you will get exactly these unexpected results
Is there any way to allow the user to do a multiple row selection just by clicking and dragging along cells within the actual grid? I.e. Without using the indicator column?
You can do that by cell using just properties by setting the following properties located in Gridview.Options
Multiselect = True
MultiSelectMode = CellSelect
UseIndicatorForSelection = False
If you need to do it by entire rows, you are stuck writing that functionality yourself using GridView.CalcHitInfo and various events.
To achieve this behavior, you need to handle the MouseDown and
MouseMove events and select rows programmatically. You also need to
enable the multi-selection feature and switch the multi-selection
mode to "CellSelect" to be able to select individual cells.
download the attached sample from this link and customize it to implement your functionality...
MultiSelect Rows & Cells simultaneously
check the following thread, which using indicator but you can customize it hiding indicator and setting select option to cellselect etc...

I'm trying to implement accessibility (keyboard only) ability on my site, but I'm having problems with Radio Button lists. When using radiobuttonlists, when initially, none of the radio buttons is selected, I am able to tab through every single value and select one upon hitting "enter". However, after a value is selected, I can only tab to the selected values, which presents a problem if I want to change the selected value.
From what I understand, radio buttons are grouped at the container controller level, thus when it is considered a group, only one can be selected at a time.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Actually, this is not an issue at all. If a value is not selected, the browser will go through each value within the group. Once a value is selected, the browser will only jump to the chosen value within that group. Thus to change values within the group, the user is to use the keyboard arrows.
I believe you're correct about the RadioButtonList being one control (and therefore tabbing doesn't work). An alternative could be to create individual radio buttons and use the GroupName property to assign them all into one group. This should let you tab between them and still ensure they work in sync with each other.
