Apex 4.02 BUG: text field with autocomplete. wrong help text

Following the wizard for a text field with autocomplete you reach a screen where you can enter a LOV query. The text area for the query has the following help text
Enter the query that will return the list of values. The query must select two columns in the following order, first a display value then a return value. For example:
select ename, empno
from emp
When selecting two identical columns, be sure to use unique column aliases, for example:
select ename d, ename r
from emp
However the query should return only 1 value.

Thanks Rene, I have fixed that in 4.1.

Text field with autocomplete: little bug in application builder

Hi,
I just noticed that the application builder complains when a text field with autocomplete is defined with a named LOV containing a single column value (Apex 4.0.2.00.06).
I created the text-field with a dynamic LOV (please specify in the docs that autocomplete requires single column queries!), then I used the "Convert to named LOV" task link to convert it to a named LOV and it works perfectly, however as soon as you attempt to change some other attribute for the item, it will throw the following error:
1 error has occurred
Using a named list of values (LOV) is only supported for item types which require at least two LOV columns.As i said, the named single column LOV works just fine with the autocomplete, so the error message seems to be also misleading.

Hi Surya,
the "Text Field with autocomplete" is really just an autocomplete widget and doesn't behave like a LOV. But we are planning to release an item type plug-in which solves both of your requirements.

Text field with autocomplete is always NULL

Greetings,
I am new to Apex so I am sure I am missing something obvious. I am using Apex 4.0.1 What I have done is created a form on a table page and added a new text with autocomplete page item. This new text field does not correspond to a column in the table. What I am trying to do is allow the user to use the autocomplete item to make a selection. Then when the user submits the page, I want to use the substr function on the value in the autocomplete field and populate one of the table fields. I have tried using PL/SQL functions in validations and computations but I have found that the value of the autocomplete field is always NULL. I can access the other fields that are associated with a table column fine. It must be something simple. Thanks for your help.
Page Items
P2_F1 - text field with auto complete. Not associated with a table column
P2_F2 – Text field. Is associate with a table column
This is what I want to do:
Entered this in a validation
begin
if :P2_F1 is not null then
:P2_F2 := substr(:P2_F1,1,5);
end if;
end;Thanks again

hi,
The PL/SQL function can also work when you choose Computation point: After submit.

How do I add and remove text in a text field with a checkbox?

How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
this is my script in the text box......
event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
The text box looks like this...
Hello, this is my narrative.
FAMILY:
John Smith was born on 08/02/2000
Boby Lou
Jack Smith
I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
Does anyone know how to do this?

There are multiple errors in your code...
Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;
if (this.getField("FatherCheckBox").value!="Off")
msg += "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value;
event.value = msg;

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it
Regards,
Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

How to set "Display as Text" field with AJAX select list

thanks Denes for your posting. I'm trying to use the Denes Kubicek code to populate a "Display as Text" field. It works for Text Field (disabled), but not "Display as Text" field(saves state) . In my applciation I need to show this field only (not the disabled text box) when a select list value is changed. any ideas to modify the code below are appreciated.
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:80:3418128396960418::NO
here is the code from the url above
1. Create an Application Process - getDet:
DECLARE
my_det VARCHAR2 (200);
BEGIN
SELECT ename || CHR(10) || job || CHR(10) || mgr
INTO my_det
FROM emp
WHERE empno = :P80_EMPLOYEES;
HTP.prn (my_det);
END;
2. Put the following in the Region Header of your page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_getDet ()
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getDet',0);
get.add('P80_EMPLOYEES',html_GetElement('P80_EMPLOYEES').value)
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn)
{ html_GetElement('P80_DETAILS').value = gReturn }
else
{ html_GetElement('P80_DETAILS').value = 'null' }
get = null;
</script>
3. Put the following in the HTML Form Element Attributes of :P80_EMPLOYEES:
onChange="f_getDet()";

Arie,
this works fine on normal page, except page zero. I have the AJAX select list and "Display as Text" field on page zero. The "Display as Text" field doesn't show the the value when AJAX select is changed. I'm using similar code as used in my other APEX page on OTN site. I tired to display the gReturn value, just before calling "setDisplayOnlyNode" function in the code below and it's showing correct value, but fails to display the value in the APEX field on page zero. Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks,
Surya
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setDisplayOnlyNode(pItem, pValue)
{ var textNode = pItem + '_DISPLAY'; $x(textNode).innerText = pValue; }
function f_getDet ()
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=getDet',0);
get.add('P1_EMPLOYEES',html_GetElement('P1_EMPLOYEES').value)
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn)
{ setDisplayOnlyNode('P1_DETAILS',gReturn)}
{ html_GetElement('P1_TEST').value = gReturn }
get = null;
</script>

Having issues with populating a Text Field with data from 2 other fields

I have 3 fields Tools_1a_pri, Tools_1a_pri_other, Tools_1a_pri_txt.
Tools_1a_pri is a drop down combo with a predefined list. One of the options is "Other". When "Other" is selected, the text field Tools_1a_pri_other becomes visible for users to enter the name of the other tool.
The Tools_1a_pri_txt is a text field with a calculation that shows either text stating that no tool has been selected or the Tools_1a_pri & or Tools_1a_pri_other.
When I select one of the predefined tools, everything works. When I select other, it appears that nothing has changed. It requires that I click on another field before it populates. This is confusing to the user.
Tools_1a_pri Validate code
this.getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").display = event.value=="Other" ? display.visible : display.hidden;
Tools_1a_pri_txt Calculation code
//if nothing is selected, do the following
if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value.length < 2) {
event.target.textColor = color.red
event.value = "No primary tool identified";
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value != "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value;
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is not selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value + " - " + getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").value;

You made the classic mistake of using the assignment operator in an if-statement instead of the comparison operator. Change this line:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
To this:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value == "Other") {

How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?

For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text.

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.

This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;

How can I merge 3 or more individual text fields into an editable summary text field?

I am stuck and do not know where to begin. I am self taught in using Adobe LiveCycle and have found many answers here in the forums and via trial and error.
I cannot find or create the correct java script or form calc to feed multiple text fields into one text field. My supervisor is asking me to do this for two sections of a form I created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.
1) Merge all 3 user entered text fields to an user editable summary text field at the end of the form.
2) Merge all 24 user entered text fields to an user editable summary text field at the end of the form.
Since they are all individual text fields in response to various questions, I cannot use the global binding function. I do not want the summary text field to override the individual text fields.
Here is the java scripting I placed on Show: calculate* Language: javascript Run: at client
1) PDStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + OCStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + CEBAStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue;
Needless to say, these instructions are not working on my form. Would someone with a lot of experience or an IT degree kindly help me?

I just tried adding the front end as you suggested and confirmed that the Object > Value is set to "calculated - user can override" for the summary text field.
OverallAnalysisAppFeedback.rawValue = PDStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + OCStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue + "_" + CEBAStrengthWeaknessComments.rawValue;
I was still unsuccessful.
I opened the debugger and received the following information. I do not understand what AdobeLiveCycle is asking me to define.
PDStrengthWeaknessComments is not defined

How to autopopulate a text field with unique data from multiple data sets

Hi,
I'm a laboratory manager in charge of a hospital project which will be using pdf forms to send and receive data from our end users across the city. I need help with the last part of our pdf form, specifically with a js that will do a bit of text-field autopopulation magic. This, unfortunately, is a beyond what I have taught myself about pdf js functionality.a
The problem:
I need to provide my end users with a text field containing a set of data [A, B, C, D, E, F ...] and the total items in this set [tot#]. The end user needs this information as part of the implementation of this particular laboratory machine.
The particulars
When the end user asks for an experiment to be run, we must specify some pieces of data to help them interpret the results. These are constructed as panels which contain discrete data elements.
For example - One experiment may use two panels, Panel#1 and Panel #2. Panel #1 includes the items A, B, D, E, Panel #2 includes the items A, B, C, F, G.
Thus, the panels may share some of the same items, but, I only want the unique members to be displayed in the text field. If I make a drop down box or checkboxes with the panels, I want to be able to select the panels that we ran and (in this example) have the text field display only the unique items among all the panels that were used:
textfield outpute = A, B, C, D, E, F, G - 7 total.
Any assistance from the pdf community would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for that help.
I should have made it more apparent that I'm very new to scripting and I'm
not a programmer by trade. I have a few questions before modifying the code
you kindly provided.
1) Where should I embed this script? Within the 'selection change' area of
my listbox?
2) Can I replace the term 'arr' with the names of the various items in my
listbox or should I put 'arr#' as the output value for each term?
3) Will this script find and display the unique values when a user selects
multiple items in my listbox?
4) How does the script know where to output the unique members of the
combined set?
I appreciate your patience with me.
