How to create combobox to display more than one columns

I need kind help with the following question. As the combobox includes two pieces--textbox and the combobox list. Then how to create a combo box bean, which is based on table EMP(empno number(6), ename varchar2(40)) records for example, to achieve these features:
1) allow more than one columns to be displayed in its records list--e.g., I need to show these records:
empno (value) ename (label)
103 David M Baker
104 David M Baker
105 Kelly J Volpe
106 Krista F Carpenter
107 Michelle P Silverman
The two 'David M Baker's are different employees, but unfortunately, with the same name.
2) allow combo box list to return the column value 'empno' even though it shows both columns as above. i.e., if user picks the second record above, then the combobox list returns 104 to the textbox in the background, but the 'David M Baker' is displayed on the textbox. Of course the combobox list may return 'David M Baker' if needed when there is only one column in the list as the current standard feature.
3)allow partial match search by typing in some letters. i.e., if user types in the textbox of the combobox letter 'K' or 'k' then the partially matched records
105 Kelly J Volpe
106 Krista F Carpenter
should be automatically displayed in the combobox list, not the whole list as above; then user may double click to choose one of the two or if user continues to type in 'R' or 'r', then the uniquely matched record 'Krista F Carpenter' is displayed in the textbox and the 106 is returned to the textbox.
4) as a bonus if it's doable, allow combobox to return values to different textboxes when its records list has more than one columns.
The reason I need these features is that I am working on the project migrated from Microsoft Access applications to centralized Java version web application. We at beginning promised to users community that Java swing will provide all the GUI user friendly features Microsoft Access has, but now we got stucked--we ate our words and got tons of complains from our users community. This is just the most needed component I posted here. I really hope that Java would add all the default GUI user-friendly features to compete with MS since its Win95 GUI has been accepted as industry standard. And most users are used to it. They claimed that they don't know and don't care what tool you use the newly created application should be more user friendly, not the opposite.
I would be very much appreciated if any one would help me with this item.

Thanks for your comments. I think nobody expects Sun to write everything including special features for its components. But I do think Sun should provide at least those standard user-friendly features for the GUI components because most users have been used to the GUI user-friendly features provided by Win95 and Access/Excel applications. Then this will help us to productively create applications to beat MS applications.
Other wise like me, to get the existing GUI features, existed in old MS Access application, for our migrated Java application, I must re-create the GUI components library first which is a big burden to me at least, for others it might be fun for coding on their own from scratch, but I have to focus on the timing of project.
If you really can pass the request to Sun and push them move a bit, please pass these words: before Sun starts to revise them, please play around window GUI, e.g., Access/Excel applications, then plan what to do, the bottom line is to equally match or better than them in FUNCTIONALITY(Look and feel is not my focus here). Don't ignore the influence of Windows regardless of you hate it or love it, the reality is most users are so familiar with windows GUI features which are accepted as industry standard. Thus the choice is to match or better to beat them. Don't make your car by closing your door, don't assume users will like what you come out in a closed room.

  • How to create Dynamic Table with more than one column?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to learn Dreamweaver. I'm trying to display 2 units from my database in the same row then I would like go to next row.
    By default DW shows single record in each row. Is it possible to display more than one?
    Thank you

    Of course. You will not name the divs differently, they will all be <div class="RowContainer">  (in the example below) and the reason they will look like
    1 2
    3 4
    5 6
    is because they will "stack themselves up". That is, the first will float to the top left, the next will float up next to it. The third will not fit on the top line floating next to two, so it will start a new row. Four will float up next to it, and five will start the new row.
    Think of the string of divs (don't put wordspaces between them...) as a continuous ribbon or chain of divs. That is a slightly poor analogy, since the second and third won't be next to each other, as a chain or a ribbon might be. But you should be able to have as many divs as you have records... you define the div in the CSS and in your page markup really only show one div.
    Here's a modified example from one of my files:
    <div spry:region="ds1" class="...">
      <div spry:repeat="ds1" class="RowContainer"> <!--this is the div that you would style to float -->
        {category} {title} {medium}<br>
         {price} {sold} {date}<br>
         {sold_to_purchase_price}
      </div>
    </div>

    Take a look at this to see if the solution provided would work for you: https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/multi_column_row_woes
    Won't you have more than 10 records in your data file ? If you are going to have only 10 items then you may be able to use position() function to limit it to 3 each..

  • How to create a theme with more than one master-slide size defined?

    I would like to create a Keynote theme that has more than one size of page defined - for example one for on-screen show, and one for printing.
    I noticed that the stock themes, and those from theme vendors, come with multiple page dimensions, and that the master slide layouts for the 'same' master slide appear to be designed differently for the different sizes.
    How do I create themes like this in Keynote? I cannot find any information about this in the Keynote manual. I have worked out how to change the master slide dimensions, but not how to tell Keynote that the layout I've created for a slide is for a particular set of dimensions. So when I look at my theme in the theme browser, I only see the dimensions I had selected last time I saved my theme showing.
    Any help most appreciated.

  • Creating Scatter chart for more than one column

    Hi,
    I have 2 columns of sorted numbers, when I select one column at a time and create a Scatter type chart, every thing is OK,
    But I want a chart with both columns in it, and when I select both columns and select a Scatter chart, Numbers takes the Group1 column as X axis and Group2 column as Y axis and draws me this chart whiich is not what I want!
    When I try this type of chart the chart is something like I want, but not with connected lines.
    How can I draw a Scatter chart with 2 columns of data in one chart?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Hadi

    Thanks Jerrold, The problem was the first column, on the left of Group1. that column should not be as header. I created another table like this and the Share X Values command worked like a charm. I really don't know why!?

Do you mean fixture_reorder_number or part_reorder_number_9?
    So you want only one row for each distinct combination of fixture_name and some other column (I'll assume that's fixture_reorder_number). Does it matter which row? They won't necessarily have the same values for the other columns.
    The query below returns the one with the first pogname (in sort order):
    WITH     got_r_num     AS
         SELECT  pogname, index#version, pog_model_status, pog_layout_type
         ,     pog_market_specific, pog_contact_number, fixture_name
         ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY  fixture_name
                                   ,                    fixture_reorder_number
                             ORDER BY        pogname
                           )         AS r_num
         FROM    sps_prod
    SELECT  pogname, index#version, pog_model_status, pog_layout_type
    ,     pog_market_specific, pog_contact_number, fixture_name
    FROM     got_r_num
    WHERE     r_num     = 1
    ;If there happens to be a tie (that is, two or more rows with the same fixture_name, fixture_number, and first pogname) then one of the will be chosen arbitrarily.
    Instead of "ORDER BY pogname", you can ORDER BY any other columns or expressions, but you must have an analytic ORDER BY clause. You can make it "ORDER BY NULL" if you really want to pcik an arbitrary row.
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data (or a couple of examples of acceptable results).
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

  • Select distinct('more than one column') from ....

    Why does this sql statement not work:
    select distinct(column_a, column_b, column_c), empno
    from emp;
    How can I 'select distinct' using more than one column.

    Actually, DISTINCT applies to all columns in the result.
    Distinct is not a function, you cannot do distinct(column1, column2, ...).
    As a matter of fact it doesn't make sense to expect distinct applies to only one column, because you do not specify any criteria on how to select the values for the second column.
    A final note: you can do distinct(column1), column2, but this will still apply to both columns!
    Here're some examples that will all return both rows from the set, where set is: (1,1), (1,2):
    select distinct val1, val2
    from
    select 1 as val1, 1 as val2 from dual
    union all
    select 1 as val1, 2 as val2 from dual
    select distinct val1||'-'||val2
    from
    select 1 as val1, 1 as val2 from dual
    union all
    select 1 as val1, 2 as val2 from dual
    select distinct(val1), val2 -- this is very misleading. distinct still applies to both columns
    from
    select 1 as val1, 1 as val2 from dual
    union all
    select 1 as val1, 2 as val2 from dual

  • How do  I display more than one region as a modal popup?

    Hello all!
    I have a popup that displays a report region. I now want it to display more than one region, say a report region and another report region underneath it.

    $.fx.speeds._default = 1000;
    $( function(){
      $('#ModalForm').dialog(
         modal: true,
         autoOpen: false,
         width: 650,
         height: 450,
         buttons:{ Calculate: function(){calculateTotal();},

    var getone = new htmldb_Get('shiny',&APP_ID.,"APPLICATION_PROCESS=DUMMY", &APP_PAGE_ID.); // initialize get
    getone.add('P24_TEMPLATEID', pFoodTemplateId);

    QUESTION:_
    How do I edit my existing code, so that it can now display another region?
    The ID of the region it displays now is ModalPopup. I would like to add another region, with another ID off course. Pick any ID, as long as you can explain to me how.

    width: 650,
