Button styling LC Designer 8

Hi
Two questions: 1. why doesn't 3d styling stick in pdf view or preview 2. how to control the ugly default highlight color?
I am trying to create a button with a 3d affect. Looks great in design view, however all the styling diapears when viewed in pdf. The second issue is control of the highlighted color when the button is selected. Currently displays and puke green and no control over text color.
This is the xml
<field name="Button1" y="19.05mm" x="66.675mm" w="28.575mm" h="6mm">
 <ui>
 <button highlight="none"/>
 </ui>
 
 <caption>
 <value>
 <text>Button</text>
 </value>
 <para vAlign="middle" hAlign="center"/>
 
 </caption>
 <border hand="right">
 <edge stroke="raised" presence="hidden"/>
 <fill>
 <color value="230,230,230"/>
 <linear type="toTop">
 <color value="255,255,255"/>
 </linear>
 </fill>
 <corner presence="hidden"/>
 </border>
 <bind match="none"/>
 </field>
Thanks in Advance

The banner at the top of the screen is called the Document Message Bar (DMB), it is purple for forms, and blue for certified or signed documents.
The document message bar can only be turned off by changing the program preferences. You can NOT script the DMB per form.
In Acrobat or Reader, you can go to Edit --> Preferences, Locate the Forms category and check the box "Always hide forms document message bar". Turning this off in Acrobat does not turn it off in Reader, each applications preferences are independent.

How to create Tab button in LC designer Form

Hi,
I'm new to Livecycle Desgin product. I'm trying to design a form, which access to different design/data by clicking several tab button on the form. I can't find any Tab button option on the Object Library of Livecycle Designer ES8.2. Can you advise me on how to find or create a Tab button and use within my form.
Many thanks,

You won't have a tab button available in LC.
But you can achieve the similar thing by placing buttons on the form and on click of those buttons hide/ display the Subforms based on the need.
You can play with the button border and fill color to have a similar look to your tabs.
Thanks

Overloaded radio buttons -- good GUI design?

I don't know where else to ask this. What do you think about overloading radio buttons with multiple functions? I have made an update to my Interactive Color Wheel that uses this technique. I haven't released it yet, but it is available here:
* http://r0k.us/rock/Junk/SIHwheel.html
It offers eight different sorts of 1567 colors and their names. That seemed to me to be way too many radio buttons; there were originally just three sorts and three buttons. I made a second row that contains the five new sorts accessed via two buttons. The sorts on each button are closely related, riffs on a theme if you will. Consecutive clicks on one of these two buttons will rotate through its functions, with the button text and toolTip updated to match its current sort and state.
I won't try describing more -- just use it, and let me know what you think. Intuitive? Ugly? Bad GUI design? Other comments?

Don't forget to take Spot, the Magic Color Dog for a walk! I recommend a different sort than the default [alphabetically], but you can change sorts on the fly. (Try [by hue], or one of the three Hilbert sorts.) In fact, Spot isn't stopping you from doing anything. Well, you'd have to have him go really slow to type in a hex color.
I was really, really amazed how fast Spot can run. With the gauge fully to the right, the timer has a specified delay of 0, so he's running as fast as everything else in the program lets him. There's a LOT going on, yet Spot can traverse all 1567 colors in mere seconds.
[add] It just occurred to me, maybe I should set a minimum update rate. I don't want it to cause someone to have an epileptic seizure. I'm thinking of setting 10 updates a second as the fastest it would go. What do you guys think?Actually it made me have to kill the JVM to stop the applet (closing the web page didn't work, apparently the new Java plugin sandboxing doesn't work). Only the JList was updating at full speed, not the color wheel.
This one I did not do. There was a complication with intensity. It uses a quantized color space, with intensity almost ranging from 0..74. I say almost because this integral range also includes 0.5. I forced that in so the value after black on a 0.255 scale would not be 4, but 2. The third value is 4, and the rest of the time it jumps by 3 or 4 on the 255 scale.
Once I decided to keep the intensity buttons as they were, it did not make sense to change the tile width buttons either. Their range is only 10..15, so IMO the [-] and [+] buttons work well.Just as a demo how to do that with JSpinner (JSlider is much harder to have non linear scales):
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JSpinner;
import javax.swing.SpinnerNumberModel;
public class TestJSpinner {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                SpinnerNumberModel rings = new SpinnerNumberModel(10, 10, 15, 1);
                SpinnerNumberModel intensity = new SpinnerNumberModel(10.0, 0.0, 74.0, 1.0) {
                    @Override
                    public Object getPreviousValue() {
                        Double value = (Double) getValue();
                        if (value == 1.0) {
                            return 0.5;
                        else if (value == 0.5) {
                            return 0.0;
                        else {
                            return super.getPreviousValue();

                        Double value = (Double) getValue();
                        if (value == 0.0) {
                            return 0.5;
                        else if (value == 0.5) {
                            return 1.0;

Why is FFX 4.0.1 so ergonomically poor? Doesn't save tabs anymore and some buttones, eg refresh "designed" virtually out of existence. This starts to look like IE!!

I am running FFX 4.0.1 over XP with SP3 and latest Windows downloads until yesterday pm.
I don't like the way I don't get offered opportunity to save multiple tabs on closing FFX - in fact I think I ought to be offered the chance to save any tabs I have open when I close it. To me - and I guess to a lot of others that's important. I also don't like the way that the refresh button (which I use often) and others have been relegated, aren't and aren't as obvious as they used to be.
FFX used to be ergonomically well-thought out...this looks like it is slipping backwards towards IE Standards.
I wanted to submit this via the normal "complaints" channel, but that doesn't want to work properly. Come on Mozilla; get your act together. This is possibly the worst release in years!!
FWIW I have been using FFX since it appeared and Netscape before that. I have never moaned about this sort of thing before. That is how poor I think that this is.

'''Saving multiple tabs'''
Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
'''Refresh button'''
In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload (refresh) buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
'''Appearance'''
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

Command button styling

Hie
I need to have a plain single color background for the commandbutton. How to get that?
I tried changing background-color property but it still shows one more color as a gradient.
any suggestions other than using an image?

Hi,
what is the JDeveloper version you are on ? In JDeveloper 11g buttons are just HTML buttons that you cannot change the background color. In 10.1.3 this is different and buttons are skinned using images

Advanced chart styling in Design studio

Hello!
In my chart (combination - dual Axis) i need to compare data between subsidiaries.
In Bex query i have 2 characteristics: 0comp_code and 0calmonth
and 3 key figures: "Hired amount", "Fired amount" and "Turnover %".
In Application i've placed "Hired amount", "Fired amount" on Axis1 and "Turnover %" on Axis2.
During the application i move 0comp_code dimension to the Rows.
It looks fine then there is only one selected subsidiary - every key figure's color distinguish well:
By the way in chart's additional properties we can't select color for individual key figure, only for Axis:
As variant we can use Conditional formatting for chart to set key figures color.
But if select two or more subsidiaries Design studio automatically tints each key figure for additional subsidiary:
It is simple to manage coloring for Key figure in Axis2, because there is only one Key figure:
In my case i used such a CSS code:
// Color for line in Axis2
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-datalines g.v-axis2 path:nth-child(1).v-lines.v-morphable-line
{stroke-width: 5;
stroke: #ADC6E5}
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-datalines g.v-axis2 path:nth-child(2).v-lines.v-morphable-line
{stroke-width: 5;
stroke: #FF0000}
// Color for dots
svg g.v-m-plot g.v-markers.v-datashapesgroup g.v-axis2 g.v-marker g.v-datashape path.v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint
{fill: #000000;}
But i don't know how to colour key figures in bars:
If use this code, the result is not what i need:
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(even) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: green;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(odd) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: yellow;}
As well as a listing of all childs in CSS not a good idea.
Please advise a solution how to manage colouring of key figures for every subsidiary.
Like this (diagram from excel):

Hi Yaroslav,
By using CSS alone there are less possiblity of acheiving dynamic coloring for your situation,
As you already mentioned ,
nth-child(even)
nth-child(odd)
Not producing the result you expect, the next option will be formula
nth-child(-n+3)
Which will also wont provide the result you expect i hope. So the last solution will be this one by specifiying it indivdually(hard coded)
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(1) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: green;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(2) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: yellow;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(3) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: blue;}
g.v-m-main g.v-m-plot g.v-column:nth-child(4) .v-datapoint.v-morphable-datapoint {fill: red;}
I think this are all possiblities with the nth-child pseudo selector.

Volume control uses same button as ringer - design error

This is really annoying as you can't control volume while the ringer volume control is activated. You have to wait for it to switch. Is there a way around this?

If you watch a video and want to reduce the volume, you press the volume control on the right of the phone and you have to wait for it to switch from ringer volume to phone volume before it will work. This.means I have to sit through seconds of video at the wrong volume as the phone has only one control for both functions

Choose designed GIF buttons in BEX for BI-IP

Dear Experts,
I would like to use designed gif buttons insted of
the bex standard buttons.
I created gif buttons(for example SAVE),
and created a BEX workbook with a grid and save button.
In DESIGN MODE when I choose for the button SHAPE and my GIF button exits design mode and save the workbook
everything looks fine.
However when I exist the workbook and reopen it the gif
disappears and I get a blank standard button.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Amir

I have the same problem. there seems to be an issue with different GUI versions - I have the most recent (GUI 9, BEx 7) and the shape files are lost, however a colleague who has an old version (GUI 2, BEx 1) doesn't have the problem with the same workbook. It's also a bit worrying that the SAP help makes no reference to this area on the button definition to attach a 'Shape ' - almost as if they were going to implement some functionality but then didn't bother!
Anyway, I have tried another approach which works for me:
1. Add a blank worksheet (which you will eventually Hide when development is complete).
2. On this worksheet, create your button with planning function (or whatever you need), but do not load a shape file. Make a note of the item name generated by BEx for the button (e.g. BUTTON_12).
3. On your actual worksheet, insert your .gif as a picture item (using Excel menu option Insert -> Picture -> From File). Position the picture where you want your button to be.
4. Right-click on the picture and choose the option 'Assign macro'.
5. Find the macro associated with the button you created on the hidden sheet in the dropdown list, and assign it to the picture. For example if your hidden sheet is woorksheet 4, and the button is BUTTON_12, the macro will be Sheet4.BUTTON_12_CLICK.
You should then find that when you click the .gif (which is effectively only an Excel object), it will call the macro assigned to the hidden button, which then runs the BEx macro.
It works for me - hope it works for you!

BEx Analyzer: Exchange characteristics with design item "Button"

Hello everyone,
I am creating a workbook with the BEx Analyzer. The user should be able to exchange one characteristic with another one by a button click (e.g. replace the drilldown of characteristic product group by a drilldown of customers).
I inserted a button in the design mode and edited it with the command wizard.
In the area for the static parameters I inserted the following:
Name/Index/Value
DATA_PROVIDER/1/DP_1
CMD/1/EXCHANGE
IOBJNM_1/1/Product Group
IOBJNM_2/1/Customer
I tried several variations of this, but they all didn't work.
Does anyone know how to define such a command?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
Rainer

Hi,
Button Design item is used to perform three types of functionalities
1. Workbook specific Commands : these are helpful in performing any changes or navigations in the workbook. For example moving from one sheet to another on the click of the button can be realised.
2. Planning Specific Commands : these are used mostly when a planning scenario is realized using the Bex workbook. Planning commands usually would be to save data in the workbook created on an input ready query to the plan cube, or to execute a planning function or a sequence.
3. Data provider specific commands : Commands used to change data based on a spcfiic dataprovider.
Let me know if you are looking at anything else other than this.

Can I add a 'Linkedin Follow' button into muse rather than just a button.

Thanks for you earlier answer, but to expand a little, when I paste the html in the button appears, in design mode as a large lillac box, which I have to guess the final position of the button which I don't see, view in preview mode and then back to design for final movement. I simply paste the html in the 'insert HTML' in the 'Object' drop down menu. Just eems strange when everything is design orientated that this is so clumsy, probably me tho. Can you enlighten. Thanks

Yes you can.
Sounds like maybe you didn't paste quite the correct code. Make sure you copy all the code from LinkedIn, including the opening and closing HTML tags, and paste that into Muse.
If your page looks scrambled after inserting custom HTML, you can export/publish/ftp upload your site, and check if the HTML is valid using this tool:
http://validator.w3.org
It should point out if you're missing a closing tag or have other invalid HTML...

Hey Samuel,
You have not defined the name of the event.
Your button tag should be defined as follows:
<htmlb:button id = "btn_ShowProductStructure"
text = "Show Product Structure"
design = "EMPHASIZED"
onClick = "onInputProcessing(btn_ShowProductStructure)"
tooltip = "Click here to open Product Structure.."
/>
In attribute: onClick = "onInputProcessing(btn_ShowProductStructure)" replace btn_ShowProductStructure by the name of the event that you want to define.
Then onInputProcessing Page write the following code:
IF EVENT->NAME = 'button' AND EVENT->EVENT_TYPE ='click'.
 CASE EVENT->ID.
 WHEN 'btn_ShowProductStructure'.
<your logic comes here>
ENDCASE.
Regards,
Reema.
Pl. give points if this solution addresses your problem.

Creation of satic and dynamic buttons in a view

Hi,
I have created a dynamic button using the code..
DATA: lr_container TYPE REF TO cl_wd_uielement_container,
        lr_button TYPE REF TO cl_wd_button.
CHECK first_time = abap_true.
lr_container ?= view->get_element( id = 'ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER' ).
cl_wd_matrix_layout=>new_matrix_layout( container = lr_container ).
lr_button = cl_wd_button=>new_button( id         = 'BUTTON'
                                        text       = 'My Button'
                                        on_action = 'ACTION' ).
cl_wd_matrix_head_data=>new_matrix_head_data( element = lr_button ).
lr_container->add_child( the_child = lr_button ).
its working fine and iam able to see the button .....but when i create another button thorugh layout design its going for dump....whats the reason .?
Cant we create static and dynamic buttons at a time?
Thanks,.
Shailaja Ainala.

Hi Shailaja,
Yes you can add static and dynamic ui elements together in the same view.
The possible problem here could be the way in which the ui elements are added.
You have created the dynamic button under the root container uielement.
What about you static button ? Check your layout and layout data property.
Thank You,
Radhika.

Submit By Email button not working in FireFox 25.0.1

If the form is saved to desktop or opened in IE, we are not seeing any issues. However, when clicking on the submit by email button in in FireFox 25.0.1, a pop-up appears to choose the default email program or a web email program. We use Outlook and it is set by default. After checking the Outlook option, the form freezes for about a minute and the email window with the PDF attached never appears.
I'm using the built-in Submit By Email button in Livecycle Designer 9.
<event name="event__click" activity="click">
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=EBSS User Renewal Request- Approval Needed Request"/>
</event>

If the PDF submits to a server-side script URL it can bypass client-side email software.
Try the online PDF submission examples and see if it works for you in Mozilla FireFox:
http://www.pdfemail.net/examples/
You should also make sure the browser is using the Adobe Reader plugin as the default PDF reader.

Trouble displaying icon on push button in 6i Forms

Hi,
I'm having trouble displaying an icon on a button at both design and run times. I'm using Forms 6i with client/server enviornment. I have tried to follow several forums regarding icon setup and the Whitepaper articles. I have tried different suggestions but am still unable to get the icon. Here's my latest attempt:
1. Copied .jar file to C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java folder
2. Modified formsweb.cfg (in the serverApp=default section) and included the following:
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,myAppIcons.jar
imagebase=codebase
3. In button's properties I set:
iconic = 'Yes'
icon filename = C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java\myAppIcons.jar
My guess is that I didn't copy the icon files (from the .jar file) correctly. As suggested in the Whitepaper, I don't have the c:\ myApp\ icons directory. I did a search for an icon directory and found multiple icons folders (due to other oracle projects installed on my pc) but don't know which one to use. Being that I'm using 6i and the instructions were for 9i I didn't know if the directory/folder name is different. Is there another directory/folder (using 6i) where I should copy all the .gif files from in addition to storing the .jar file in the C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java directory?
Also, I feel that I'm not calling it correctly from the location in step 3. Being that the icon exists in the jar file, how would I reference it within the file? Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric

Robin,
I tried your suggestions but am still unable to view the icon. Here's what I now have tried.
1. I've created UI_ICONS in the windows registry under the form's oracle home and am calling c:\icons from that variable.
2. In c:\icons, I copied the .jar file's contents (search.gif) into this folder. This is where I may have a problem in addition to my next step in calling the filename. You mentioned in your first post to put my .ICO files there. Should I rename my .gif to .ico? Not sure if I followed you there.
3. In the button property, I set icon = yes and icon filename = c:\icons\search.gif -- Not sure if I used the right syntax for the filename. I've tried renaming it to .ico and it still does not display.
Sorry about all the questions but I really appreciate your help. Do you see anything else that I did that may cause it to not display?
Thanks again,
Eric

How to disable 'Save' button when OAF and XML Publisher integrated...URGENT

Hi,
I am new to the OA Framework and XML publisher. I have been working on a requirement where I am designing a new page in Manager Self Service with few fields and a submit button. Also designed a RTF template in XML publisher to display the output in PDF format.
When the details are entered on the page and click on 'Submit' button, the PDF will Open with the data populated. This is working perfectly... thanks to the forum.
But my issue is: When the submit button is clicked, it displayes a dialog box with Open/Save/Cancel options and if I click the 'Open', the PDF will be opened. But my client is a retail client and they don't want store managers to save this PDF so either I have to skip this dialog box and directly open the PDF or I have to disable the 'Save' on the dialog box.
Gurus -- Please help me how to achieve this. This is very urgent
Below is the piece of code I am using in the controller to generate the PDF.
TemplateHelper.processTemplate(
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getAppsContext(),
APP_NAME,
TEMPLATE_CODE,
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getLanguage(),
((OADBTransactionImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).getOADBTransaction()).getUserLocale().getCountry(),
inputStream,
TemplateHelper.OUTPUT_TYPE_PDF,
null,
pdfFile);
Thanks in Advance,
Naren

Frank, thanks for the update.
But do you want me to try ControllerContext.getInstance().getCurrentViewPort().isDataDirty(); in button disable property?
I have written one method in my am like
public boolean isTransactionDirty(){
return getDBTransaction.isDity();
and exposed that method to client side and i try to use this method in my button disable property as
disable#{bindings.isTransactionDirty.execute} but this is not working.
Thanks
