Example of a simple form with a list box

Hi phemmel,

thansk for using and supporting OpenOffice.org...

I opened your document using OOo1.1.1RC3 on Solaris and on Redhat Linux 9....
You made 2 list boxes with 3 entries each list box...
I was able to choose each of them...
Please try again with our newest verseion and send a new comment if your problem
occurs again...

reassigned to msc

@ msc:
this seems to be something for you...
I wasn't able to reproduce it ....

Well, maybe my explanation was not so good ... 
 
Try to open my file with OO 1.1.1 rc3 : the first list box is empty. 
Try with OO 1.1.0 : the first list box isn't empty ! 
 
Actually the file was saved with something in the three fields. The three 
fields are different, in order to show that the bug appears only with list 
box. The third field isn't a list box, it's a combo box.

Hello again 
 
Some people around me didn't understand the problem described in this issue, 
so here are some more details. 
 
The problem is the choice made by the user isn't stored when he save the file. 
Showing the different possibilities in the list box is good, saving the user 
choice is better in order to process the file ! Often forms are used to create 
templates, and the results of the user choice have to be sent to other users. 
 
Hope it's clear now ! 
 
This problem means that I can't give the 1.1.1 version to some of my clients. 
And they are waiting for it for 6 months !

I've changed the Os to All : I've tested on Windows and the bug exists too.

Hi,
I had a look at the content.xml, so I can give some more informations about the bug.
With both 00o 1.1.0 and OOo 1.1.1, the selected item of a list box is stored in
an attribut of the form:option tag (included in the form:listbox), for instance :
<form:option form:label="data2" form:current-selected="true"/>
With OOo 1.1.1 : the "current-selected" attribute is ignored. But another
attribute is used, which is : "selected". So with OOo 1.1.1, with the following
tag :
<form:option form:label="data2" form:selected="true"/>
the item is selected in the list box. But : then you can't change the selected
item, this attibute is used for reading but it is not used when storing the
document.

Hope this can help ...

Hi,

I can reproduce this.

reassign to the right developer, set target.

Hello again 
 
target 1.1.3 ??? 
 
I'm so disapointed ... 
 
I'm working in StarXpert, a IT company specialised in the opensource desktop, 
and sun partner (for StarOffice and JDS). 
 
Please, realise that while the list box won't work, I can't provide my clients 
with this new version ! As I said, many of them use forms to build pre 
formatted templates, and they can't use their templates with the 1.1.1 version 
(if they use list box, so very often). 
 
For instance, the french Ministry of Interior is waiting for us to provide a 
new installation package for the 1.1.1 version of OO. What can I say to them ? 
 
Alain (anowak) found a accurate reason about this bug, it seems not so 
complicated to resolve it. Ok, we won't correct it, we don't know how to do 
that, so I can't evaluate the difficulty. 
 
But, due to this first analyse and the problems it creates, it seems 
reasonnable to me to set the target to 1.1.2. 
 
If we can help more, don't hesitate to ask. 
 
Let's vote ! 
 
Bye
