Auto resize of form fields does not work as supposed

Back in the good old (?) days of compiling as Flash (as opposed to Flex 2) input fields in a form component could be made to streeeeeeetch automatically to fit the varying width of a model. If one chose "Fit contents = Fit width" for both the iview, and the specific form in the iview, then the fields in the form would resize to fit the width of the loaded window (which of course varies depending on screen resolution and window size).
Now we have upgraded to SPS 18 and I no longer am able to deploy as Flash (it fails at runtime) so I am left with Flex 2 (which is not a bad thing besides this one issue).
I have tried all possible settings for my iview and form layouts, but nothing works as it did with Flash. I simply cannot get the fields to resize.
Can anyone help?

Hi Henning
Thanks for contacting SAP and providing with most of the details required to analyze the issue.
As per note 1235408,this is a known issue with Flex2.
Visual Composer UI elements are displayed relative to the browser size and not relative to each other.
Solution: None; there is no relative layout available for the Flex 2 runtime.
Workaround: Choose the "Actual size" option in the "Fit contents" list in the Configure task panel of the UI elements.
Please refer to the note for workaround on the issue.
See mentioned note if this also applies to your problem.

The JavaScript for my form field does not run

I am running Windows XP and have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro installed. I am using the Wizard to create a form. For a particular field I need to run a JavaScript.
1. For "Select Trigger", I selected, "Mouse Up".
2. For "Select Action", I selected, "Run a JavaScript".
I then added the very simple JavaScript, below.
if (qty < 12) {
    discount = 0;
} else {
    discount = shipping * 0.1;
However, it did not work, as expected. After spending more than a day trying to figure out why it does not work, I realized that the reason it did not work was because the value of "Select Action" is not being retained. It just returns to "Execute a menu item" ... even if I check the "Locked" checkbox. Please help me.
Thank you, in advance.
Fay

I am not doing a calculation. Unfortunately, this cannot be done because I have an "IF" condition. This is why I am utilizing the "Action" tab NOT the "Calculate tab. Please see the screen shots below:
Action Tab
Calculate tab
My JavaScript is:
if (qty < 12) {
    discount = 0;
} else {
    discount = shipping * 0.1;
There is no way that I could execute it as a calculate.
Anyway, I will take a look at the Thom Parker link that you sent to me. Thanks for your help.

After upgrading to windows 10 Auto-rotate and touchpad gestures does not work

I have installed the latest HP Support Assistant for windows 10 and I have installed the updates Intel Virtual Button DriverHP System Event Utility Updates failed to install without giving reason: Intel Serial I/O driver Intel Management Engine Interface (MEI) Driver In display settings I have checked the box of "Allow the screen to auto-rotate" But all these have not worked. Please find a solution for me.

Yes. I found the answer here:http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/HP-Envy-x2-13-j020CA-Windows-10-Auto-Rotate-Autorotate-now/m-p/5212887#M115445I've tried replacing the driver on Sdo Sensor V2 device with the Simple Device Orientation Sensor and rotation works just like it did on 8.1.For the record - Sdo Sensor v2 reports the device orientation continiously, and Simple Device Orientation Sensor reports it only when the orientation changes. Must be a Windows bug then.

Form button does not work when a program is moved from Windows 8.2 to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a few Excel programs which use the ODBC to get data from Access and which have macros which writes data to an external program, MYOB.
When the macros tries to write the data to MYOB it fails if I am not running the program in administrator mode.   It seems that Windows 8.2 has a different level of security than Windows 7 and must be run in administrator mode for the ODBC to work.
I have had issues after running the program in administrator mode (testing) if I simply do a save (in administrator mode) and then send it to the customer.   The issue is that it just will not work on the customer's site.   I have gotten
around this in the past by saving any changes, going back out of excel, loading the program again (not in administrator mode) and saving it - before sending it to the customer.   This worked until now.
For some unknown reason, the last time I sent a program to the customer and carried out the above process, the program stopped working. Originally I thought that the macro just wouldn't work on windows 7, but eventually found that it is the form button
that will no longer work when the program is moved from 8.2 to 7.
Does anyone know why there is an incompatibility between 8.2 and Windows 7 and what I should be doing to ensure that my programs work in my customers environment(windows7)?
In the meanwhile, I have changed the form button to an activex button and the program works fine in both environments.
Thanking you in advance,

there is some OP report after Windows update Dec 2014 macro stop responding ( I cant confirm if this is also related to your issue) its because security update for Office maybe conflict with the active-x that you are installed
try to
Close Excel
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again
Open that file and save it, and try open at Windows 7
to get more detail about this issue, I suggest also contact Office forum
this case also will be solve installing kb3025036
good luck

Printing "Form Fields Only" not working correctly in Adobe XI

I have a pdf form with fields including check boxes. If I print this form with all fields it prints correctly, but if I select "Form Fields Only" then all check boxes print as checked regardless of whether or not they are checked. When I use this form in earlier versions of Adobe I do not get this problem. Any ideas or solutions?

Also the "PrintParams" properties require version 6 or above of Acrobat/Reader.
One has to review the Acrobat JavaScript API for all sorts of version variations in the way Acrobat's JS object works. And the documention is not always correct.

Auto focus in Safari Yosemite does not work on new tab.

Creating a new tab in Safari does not auto focus the address bar. I need to Cmd-L to activate the address bar. This is annoying because I usually create a new tab to enter a search. Is this a bug or working as intended?

OK! I've found the error by myself. The XML file I am trying to update is not schema valid. Infact I've registered the schema with this call:
begin
dbms_xmlschema.registerSchema(
'PurchaseOrder.xsd',
getdocument('PurchaseOrder.xsd'),
TRUE,TRUE,FALSE,TRUE
end;
So the first three lines of the XML file must be:
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PurchaseOrder.xsd">
and not
<PurchaseOrder
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="HTTP://localhost/sys/schemas/REF5/PurchaseOrder.xsd">
I think it is better not to register the schema with relative URL...
Bye!

Unchecking Required Field from Form Field is not working

I am trying to un-check a field to a disable the required field function and it will not let me uncheck the box, its ghosted out. Upon filling out the form as-is > I enter text in the field as it requires and even after entering information it gives me an error and says its not filled out??!!!! I spent a lot of time on this form and do not have the time to recreate it just to risk getting the same result....

Hi
Did you rename the email field to Last Name? That's the only entry which will not let you uncheck this option.

Meaning only field does not work when querying

Hi
I am working with Designer 6i R4.11
In my generated forms I have columns/fields based on "domains/lovs". The domain property "dynamic list" is set to yes and I have all my values in a cg_ref_codes table.
Now when I am doing a query in my form and I use the lov-button of the "domain-field", the query will work fine. When I just type in the value in the field without using the lov, the query will always return all values.
There is no trigger or code generated to fill in the database-column value in query-mode, so form a form builder point of view it makes sense.
I have the impression this used to work years ago. Is there a property I didn't set or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Karine

Seems to me that you need to set the display width to be wide enough for all possible meanings in the LOV, rather than wide enough for the field itself. But I may have misunderstood the question. or misremembered the answer - it has been a while.

Set_lov_column_property through Oracle Forms Personalization does not work

Oracle EBS 11.5.10
I need to change the LOV column title in an existing form using Forms Personalization technique. I am using BuiltIn->Call Custom Library option to invoke set_lov_column_property in WHEN-NEW-FORMS-INSTANCE event. It is not changing the LOV column title. I have attempted to use Synchronize following set_lov_column_property action and it has no impact. I have not tried using CUSTOM.pll changes and I feel it may work. At our client site, we have used only Forms Personalization to implement extensions instead of CUSTOM.pll changes as a standard practice.
Has anyone attempted this technique in Forms Personalization and know whether this works?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Oleh,
I was just returning to the thread to report that I'd found the issue (actually a colleague did) - and it is exactly what you said - the in-house documentation for the translations library says to add an ON-ERROR trigger to capture (and ignore) 41364, but whoever developed this form apparently forgot to perform this step.
You still get the brownie points for the answer though =)
Thanks for the help, my mind is more restful now because I was going nuts trying to find this!
Alan.

Newly created form field does not appear in Preview mode, only edit.

Created two fields on this page. Only this first one shows in Preview mode. I saved the doc before hitting preview.

What happens if you exit forms editing mode? Is the field set to hidden?

Search field does not work in Address Book

Text typed into Address Book's search field just sits there. No hits, no response whatsoever.
It used to work . . .
Spotlight itself seems fine. It locates contacts in Address Book.
I've rebuilt the Spotlight index.

Same issue....for a couple of months now....starting to see enough of us that it is an issue. I've deleted plists, etc, etc. Anybody have any ideas? I have 1000+ names in my address book....

Auto sync of Date & Time does not work on startup

Is there a reason why out of two entire labs of like 60 mac's that when restarted, a number of them will not look to sync up the date & time. I have every computer to do so, but for some odd reason, on a shutdown/restart, random computers will not sync up and ge the proper time.
The correct time is needed because these computers are running on with the AD Plugn, and AD will not allow computer user to login to the computer using AD user credentials if the time is not matched to the server. So what is happening, after a shutdown/restart, the computers can be off as much as a couple of mins, causing the users not able to login.
The only way right now to fix the issue is for me to log into the computer using my admin account, just open up the date/time preferences, and then with out doing anything, it will sync up to the correct time/date, and then I just restart the computer. Once restarted, users can login.
Any ideas ??
Tks.
Carter

Info Field does not work

Hi Experts,
I would like to display the "last update" information for certain InfoProviders within a BEx Web Template. If I add the web item "Info Field" and save the web template, the icon of the web item is being displayed within the designer. When executing the template the web item is being "deleted" automatically and nothing is being displayed within the portal. Any clues on that? Is this a known bug in WAD?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards
Tobias

Hi,
Info field only displays about the Global filters, Local filters and Variables. When you assign the info field in the template you need to give the data provider to that webitem otherwise you will not get any data when you execute your template.
Use text web item, You have several options available such as last refreshed, executed by, changed by, last data upload and so on.
Thanks

Insert in Tabular form does not work after the upgrade to APEX 4.0

Hi all,
Thx in advance for looking into the issue.
We are running into following issue when we upgraded APEX 3.2 to APEX 4.02
1) The Tabular form insert does not work.
2) We are fatching the value of the Global variable APEX_APPLICATION.g_XXXX in a procedure and we get null for this value after submit for new row to be inserted.
The tabular form was working fine in APEX 3.2.
The Update and Delete works just fine.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thx and regards,
Mahesh

Here is my workaround to get the ADDROW/SUBMIT working again if you have a legacy Tabular Form:
1     PAGE ATTRIBUTES
          JAVASCRIPT
          FUNCTION AND GLOBAL VARIABLE DECLARATION
               var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
2     DELETE BUTTON
          ACTION WHEN BUTTON CLICKED
          URL Target          change to
               javascript:apex.confirm(htmldb_delete_message,'MULTI_ROW_DELETE');
3     ADDROW BUTTON
          ACTION WHEN BUTTON CLICKED
          Action
               redirect to URL
          URL Target
               javascript:addRow();
4     PROCESS
          APPLYMRU (activitated by button ADDROW)
          CONDITION
               never or delete
5     PROCESS
          ADDROWS
          CONDITION
               never or delete
6     CHANGE PAGE TEMPLATE to e.g. THEME 13 One Level Tabs.
7     IF YOU WANT ADD FUNCTIONALITY TO GOTO BOTTOM OF PAGE AFTER ADDROW
     1. In the page footer put <a name="bottom_of_page"></a>
     2. Amend the action when the "ADD" button is clicked to scroll down to the new region by doing the following:
     - edit "ADD" button
     - Go to "Action when button Clicked" section
     - Amend "URL Target" from
     javascript:addRow();
     to
     javascript:addRow();window.location='#bottom_of_page' ;
regards

My auto-scroll 3rd button does not work in FireFox 3.6. It worked in previous FF versions.

I have updated FireFox. My auto-scroll 3rd button now does not work in this version, 3.6 I have updated my mouse and checked the TOOLS "Use auto-scroll"... still it does not work.
I need my equipment to work. PLEASE FIX

I hate to sound like a broken record, DONE THAT ALREADY. _ _ _
I've ALSO learned to reboot after an uninstall then manually delete any residue in said uninstalled program. I've also gone as far as REGISTER searching for program residue and deleting that WITH reboot of coarse to be sure nothing has gone wrong. _ _ _ NEXT suggestion? I suggest FireFox fix there software. _ _ _ BY-THE-WAY,... I have also gone through my mouses buttton choices for my #5 button. Everything works but the "Auto-Scroll". One tab down/up/right/left works, one page down/up/left/right works. _ _ _ I used recently tried and successfully used the Auto-Scroll in Netscape, Opera, My Browser, Ace Browser, Chrome, and 2 others that escape my memory. _ _ _ PLEASE READ and understand this. >>> It's FireFox's software that is stopping this, not my mouse or PC.
