Awesome WM: how to return focus to parent of dialog after close

Hello all,
I've been a happy Awesome WM user for about three weeks. But in some programs, if a dialog pops up and I click 'ok' or whatever, focus is lost on the current program and I must change to another tag and back before my key commands will be sent to the host program. Example: In Digikam, if I enter ctrl-shift-right to rotate a photo, a dialog pops up showing the status of the operation, and when the dialog is dismissed, my keystrokes are no longer sent to Digikam. If Digikam is on tag 1, I'll have to enter mod4-2 mod4-1 to make awesome start sending keystrokes back to Digikam - which takes so long it defeats the purpose of using keystrokes in Digikam. Has anybody else had this problem with Awesome WM? What could be going on?
tacit

Are you using the default rc.lua? Which version of awesome?
If you have any experience with lua, you should look into your arrange hook, and refocus the last entry in your focus history, unless another client currently has focus. If you post some more info it should be possible to get you there...

How to return control to parent VI

What I want to do is monitor an Abort button and when it goes true I want to stop/close the current VI and return control to the parent VI. I tried using an Application Stop function, but this stops the entire execution and I only want to stop the current VI.
So how can I stop the current VI and turn control back to the parent VI without stopping execution?
Screenshot of the VI that dosn't work is attached.
Thanks in advance.

Dubs,
I second Russ's thoughts that "aborting" a VI is a "bit brute force" and generally not a good programming practice.
I would suggest using while loops coupled with the Elapsed Time VI to create an interruptible wait function similar to what is in the following screenshot:
I hope this helps,

How to return to first record in table after a while statement?

Hi,
I'm trying to multiply data from two different tables to get a distance between two points - I only want to return the result if the distance is less than 0.15 metres. It loops ok the first time but dies once I get into the second while for the second time. I'm sure I have the logic wrong, I just can't figure out the right way. I haven't used Java or programmed in four years so apologises if the answer is ridiculously simple!

How to go back to parents taskflow without using taskflow return activity

Hi all,
How can i go back to parents taskflow without using taskflow return activity?
With Regards,
Wai Phyo

Hi,
when you enter a sub flow, the parent flow is put on a stack for later resume. You ecit a bounded task flow that you called using task flow call activity by exiting the task flow (return activity). There is no other option to return to the parent flow. If the bounded task flow executes as a region, then you use a parent activity to navigate the enclosing flow, or the root flow. However, regions seldom use return activities anyway.
Hope this answers your question

How to assign ALV for parent node and child node that uses supply method.?

HI Dear friends,
I need to display header details ( VBAK ) and Item details ( VBAP ). I have created two node like HEADER_NODE inside this i have created ITEM_NODE for this item node i use supply function 'GET_ITEMS' any way it is working only when crete two separate table and binding but when i come to work with ALV i am totally confused .. i have created two 'View Controller UI Elements' when i try to map HEADER_NODE it mapped properly but for ITEM_NODE it shows mapping already defined. return status message as 'Action Cancelled' . In result both ViewContainer shows only HEADER_NODE data only.
How to achive ALV for Parent, child node that uses supply function ? ?
Thank you

Delete Mapping is not enabled, that means there is no mapping done yet.
I just tried what you are saying and the application works and i am able to map the header table and item table and also again i could map the tables any number of times.. i didn't get any such message, sorry i couldn't recreate the scenario. might be there is something wrong in the context.
i just did it like this.
Please also move this to Web DynPro Discussion, Hope that would be helpful.

How to know if a parent has no children in JTree?

How to know if a parent has no children in JTree?

Be careful about depending on isLeaf. Common practice states that isLeaf() returns true ONLY if the node in question is not capable of having children (for example, a file in Windows Explorer). A directory with no items in it would not be a leaf node, but would have a child count of 0.

Transfer Focus From a Child Dialog To its Parent Frame

Hi
I m working on a Multimedia Desktop Application. I have done alomst 90% of work. Here I have a problem to transfer focus from a Child Dialog to Parent Frame. Remember the whole applicatio does not use Mouse every thing is handled on key events. So I required to transefer the focus from a Child Dialog to its Parent Frame from key board. I also cant use ALT+TAB because
1- Child is a dialog
2- This is a Multimedia Application which will be deployed For TV production and can't allow any Computer
Components to be viewable.
So I want only key press to transfer the focus between Child and The Parent.
Thanks.
Khurram

You probably need to rethink your design. Where are these child classes going? What is using or consuming them? I agree with the message above about a button instantiating a parent field variable to one child or the other depending on which button is pressed.

How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

How to return a profile in Game Center. where you want to enter the old nikneim?

It's not actually round. It is slight flattened vertically.
Anyway...
I have an Action that places guides at 50% (50pc) vertically and horizontally to give me the exact center of an image file, or you place them manually with View > New Guide.
After doing that I would place the circular select from that center point using Shift and Alt (Opt) and get it more or less where I wanted it. Then change the selection into a work path.
You can use Free Transform to reshape and position that work path by selecting it in the Paths panel.
Then place your text, and if you still need to fine tune, use Free Transform again, but on the Type layer.
You could also use Free Transform to reshape the BG graphic to make it round.

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards

How to return multiple values from dialog popup

hi all
I'm using ADF 10g. I have a requirement that I have to return multiple values from a dialog.
I have a page containing a table with a button which calls the dialog. The dialog contains a multi-select table where i want to select multiple records and add them to the table in the calling page.
In the backing bean of the calling page, I have the returnListener method.
I am thinking that I have to store the selected rows from dialog in an array and return that array to the returnListener...but I don't know how to go about it with the code.
Can someone help me out with it?
thanks

Hi Frank,
I'm trying to implement your suggestion but getting comfused.
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, hashMap) is called in ActionListener method, from what I understood.
ReturnListener method already calls it, so no need to call explicitly.
Okay here's what i'm doing.
command button launches the dialog on the calling page.
In the dialog page, there is a button "select", which when i click, closes the dialog and returns to calling page. I put a af:returnActionListener on this button, which logically should have a corresponding ReturnListener() in the calling page backing bean.
Now I have 3 questions:
1. do i have to use ActionListener or ReturnListener?
2. where do I create the hashMap? Is it in the backing bean of the dialog or in the one of calling page?
3. how do I retrieve the keys n values from hashmap?
please help! thanks
This is found in the backing bean of calling page:

How to return a single datetime from multiple rows of MAX(value) in DAX

Hi
I have a Results table with ResultTime, Balance, Equity which is updated with a new row every 5 minutes. I've used SUMX to find opening and closing balances and it has worked so far.
Res_OpeningBalance:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],1),[Balance])
Res_ClosingBalance:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],0),[Balance])
But when I tried it with dates, the whole thing fell apart.
Res_MaxBalance_Date:=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[Balance],0),[ResultTime])
Since the highest Balance is likely to be represented through many rows due to it lasting more than 5 minutes, ResultTime (which is unique to each row) is summed up and returns messed up dates well into the future. How to return only one date (first or last
datetime) from the rows where Balance is at max?
I tried a TOPN of TOPN, but Excel was not amused.
=SUMX(TOPN(1,Results,Results[Balance],0),TOPN(1,Results,Results[ResultTime],0))
TIA!
Re
Dennis

I still don't understand RANKX, but I figured it out anyway. I get the correct data by using:
Res_MaxBalance:=MAX(Results[Balance])
Res_MaxBalanceDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Balance]=MAX(Results[Balance])))
Res_MinBalance:=MIN(Results[Balance])
Res_MinBalanceDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Balance]=MIN(Results[Balance])))
Res_MaxEquity:=MAX(Results[Equity])
Res_MaxEquityDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Equity]=MAX(Results[Equity])))
Res_MinEquity:=MIN(Results[Equity])
Res_MinEquityDate:=CALCULATE(MAX(Results[ResultTime]),FILTER(Results, Results[Equity]=MIN(Results[Equity])))

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser?

How to return a html repsonse after form guide rendering in browser indicating that server has recieved transmission and request is submitted succesfuly?
I am rendering the form guide in browser using guide invoke service and when i submit the data in browser to server through guide , it is displaying some random number in browser?
i need to display a resposne that request is submitted successfully?

how could i define a variable with "html data" ?
Create a variable of type document and then a service to read the html from where ever it's located. If you put it in LiveCycle, you can use the ReadRessource service. If it's on the file system, you can use the Read Document. If it's in the database, you can use the JDBC service.
Also, one more doubt where should i use this variable in my process to get the same?
You want the response once you've submitted the data, so the html is really the result of calling the process that's processing the data. So I would create an output variable of type document on that process.
Right now it displays a random number in the browser because your submit process is long lived. When a process is long lived (asynchronous), you invoke it and then you get an identifier back. It's kind of a fire and forget. You can use that identifier to check the status of the long lived process, since long lived processes can take hours, days to complete. You don't want your browser to wait that long, hence the identifier.
However if you change the process to be short lived (synchronous), the browser will wait for the result of the process, which really means the output variables for that process. If your output variable contains html, it'll display html.
So the key is make you submit process short lived and populate the output variables appropriately.
