Change dynamic button label

Hi,
In apex 3.0 can I have a button which changes dynamic? e.g. if an item is null then the button label to be 'tes' else button label 'ok'?
Thank you

Hi,
Maybe easiest way is create 2 buttons and set condition for those.
Use condition when item in expression 1 value is / value is not in expression 2

Hi,
Use this code to change the label at run time.
set_item_property('deptno',prompt_text,'pagal dept');
Prompt_text is used for changing label at run time.

Changing radio buttons label

Hello.
How can I programatically change label of radio buttons?
I have a radio group named test and 2 radio buttons named t1 and t2.
I've tried to set labels with Set_item_property('t1', label, 'aaa'); I got FRM-41045. What am I doing wrong?
Natasa

Natasa,
I tink that you don't have access to individual radio button labels because the radio group is the Forms iten that set item property operates on. The work around is to forget about setting the readio button labels within the Forms properties and to use Forms display items instead.
Adjust the display label so that they become labels for the radio button and this should do it.

Changing button label

this is my program. i have created a grid of 20 * 20 and randomly assigned integers 0 to 4 into the cells (and colors corresponding to them).
Now i need to put this program into a loop...i.e. the labels of the button should change with every loop....such that we can watch each transition for 5 seconds (hence there has to be some kind of pause, and some kind of dissolve older applet function). I should be able to change the button label by specifying the particular button (lets say [3][4]), finding the current value/label of the button, and then assigning a new label of the button.
Can somebody help.
import java.awt.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.util.Random;
<applet code="GridDemo" width=600 height=600>
</applet>
public class GridDemo extends Applet{
static final int n = 20;
static final int t = 10;
Random r = new Random();
public void init(){
setLayout(new GridLayout(n,n));
Color[] cols = {Color.WHITE, Color.YELLOW, Color.CYAN, Color.BLUE, Color.RED};
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
for(int j=0;j<n; j++) {
Button[][] myArray = new Button[n][n];
int k=r.nextInt(5);
Button b = new Button("" +k);
b.setBackground(cols[k]);
myArray[j] = b;
add(b);

I'm not sure if this is really what you want, make your class run a thread, that changes your labels after 5 second pauses. public class GridDemo extends Applet implements Runnable {
public void init() {
   new Thread(this).start(); // starts the thread running.
public void run() {
while (someCondition) {
    // your for loops here..
    Thread.sleep(5000); // pause 5 seconds before running for loops again
}

SRM 7 - Change portal button name

Expert's,
I'm working with SRM 7 ans i'm facing a problem concerning the text of a few standard buttons around the system. I guess that exists a way of changing the attributes ( in my case the name of the buttons) but not by regestering the standard object.
For example in cFolder's it's possible to edit a XML and change the appearence of the system. Is that possible in SRM ?
Could you please tell me hoe can i modify a webdynpro in order to change the button labels ?
Best regards,
Mário

Hi Mário,
For example if you would like to change the field label of the button 'Order' in the SC screen, you could do this in the following way:
- Right click on the button 'order' in the browser -> more field help
you'll get this information
Application: /SAPSRM/WDA_L_FPM_OIF
Web Dynpro Component: FPM_OIF_COMPONENT
Window Information: FPM_WINDOW
View Information: CNR_VIEW
Configuration ID: /SAPSRM/WDCC_FPM_OIF_SC_PROFNL
- In the SAP GUI you open in the SE80 transaction the Web Dynpro Component: FPM_OIF_COMPONENT
- In the component configurator (the option at the button), you open the Configuration /SAPSRM/WDCC_FPM_OIF_SC_PROFNL
- Doubleclick on the /SAPSRM/WDCC_FPM_OIF_SC_PROFNL
- Start configurator
- Click on 'Change' mode
- Click on 'Order'
- There you can change the field label.

Peter

How can I make a label for my chart that changes dynamically when I drag selection of data to adjacent column?

I have a custom budget using Numbers '08 and have labeled a chart in previous versions of my budget but when I tried to update it for the new year I can't figure out how to make the label change dynamically as I drag the selected area to the adjacent column. I have checked Numbers Help and Tutorial videos as wellas the manual and have not found anything that comes close to helping but as I said I had it on previous versions but obviously don't remember how I did it and unfortuanately it is not a very intuitive feature. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

The linkage appears to be automatic, but when broken, does not reattach itself.
Redoing the chart isn'r a long process, though, unless you've made extensive format changes to it. Here's my process, which started with a headerless table wiht the Month labels in Row 1 (and a Chart that had an "Untitled" label on the category axis, and ended with the table and chart shown below:
Click on any cell in the table to activate it.
Go Table > Add Header Row.
Select the cells containing the month names. Copy.
Select the cells in the same columns of the Header row. Paste.
Select the table. If the Header for the current month is highlighted and the month label is on the table, Stop here. If not (and it probably will not be), continue.
Delete the existing Chart (or drag it aside to use as a colour and style reference)
Unhide any hidden rows used in the Chart.
Select the cells to be charted.
Click the Series orientation control (¡¡¡) to change it. The control will turn 90° and move from the column highlight to the row highlight.
Your table and chart should now resemble the one in the image above. Edit the style as needed and you're done.

Barry

Changing button label;JSP; input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search"

Hello everybody,
I try to develop a multilanguage application in which the button labels will change accordingly with the browser's regional settings.
The line in the generated DataQueryComponent.jsp file is the following:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search">
If I want to change the value like value="Rechercher" the application will not execute the query.
In fact the section
<jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate datasource="dsQuery" >
</jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate>
is not executed.
I tried to generate the button with:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Rechercher" onClick="this.value='Search'"> ,
but for a long query the name Search will remain as button label on the screen.
Any new solutions, please?
Thanks in advance.

Change button label on 100 pages

Yep I've iunherited an application thats got a button on nearly 100 pages. Now the label of the button needs to change - and I'd quiet like to change the button name too - is there someway to do this without going to every button and changing it?
There is a good chance that there will be some other changes similar to this...but the button is a good start and maybe i can figure it out myself if I can understand how to do this for the button.

Oh application||Utilities||button utilities seems like it might be a good start. Still not perfect.

Update button label when locale changes, in AS3

What I'm trying to do is pretty do what this does:
<s:Button label="{resourceManager.getString('Strings', 'some_resource')}"/>
but in ActionScript code. I have a function to add a new tab button to a layout which takes a string and just trying to set the label to the same string doesn't work obviously. So what I need is a way to set the button label to some bindable value that will update whenever the locale changes, like it does automatically when doing it in MXML.

Nevermind, I figured it out. For those of you that are curious about the solution I found it's in the code below. The only way I could figure out how to get it working is by declaring a local function right after creating a button and attaching it as a "change" event handler to the resourceManager.
public function addTab(resourceName:String):uint
     var newTab:Button = new Button();
     newTab.label = resourceManager.getString('Strings', resourceName);
     newTab.setStyle("skinClass", Skins.Buttons.TabButton);
     // Create a local function that will update the button label whenever the locale changes
     var localeChangeHandler:Function =
          function (e:Event):void
               newTab.label = resourceManager.getString('Strings', resourceName);
     resourceManager.addEventListener("change", localeChangeHandler);

How to change button label while loading content

I have this basic example with toggle buttons:
public class test extends Application
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage)
        final VBox vbox = new VBox();
        String pillButtonCss = DX57DC.class.getResource("PillButton.css").toExternalForm();
        // create 3 toggle buttons and a toogle group for them
        ToggleButton tb1 = new ToggleButton("Left Button");
        tb1.setId("pill-left");
        ToggleButton tb2 = new ToggleButton("Center Button");
        tb2.setId("pill-center");
        ToggleButton tb3 = new ToggleButton("Right Button");
        tb3.setId("pill-right");
        final ToggleGroup group = new ToggleGroup();
        tb1.setToggleGroup(group);
        tb2.setToggleGroup(group);
        tb3.setToggleGroup(group);
        // select the first button to start with
        group.selectToggle(tb1);
        final Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(300, 300);
        rect1.setFill(Color.DARKOLIVEGREEN);
        final Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(300, 300);
        rect2.setFill(Color.LAVENDER);
        final Rectangle rect3 = new Rectangle(300, 300);
        rect3.setFill(Color.LIGHTSLATEGREY);
        tb1.setUserData(rect1);
        tb2.setUserData(rect2);
        tb3.setUserData(rect3);
        group.selectedToggleProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<Toggle>()
            @Override
            public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Toggle> ov, Toggle toggle, Toggle new_toggle)
                if (new_toggle == null)
                else
                    vbox.getChildren().set(1, (Node) group.getSelectedToggle().getUserData());
        HBox hBox = new HBox();
        hBox.getChildren().addAll(tb1, tb2, tb3);
        hBox.setPadding(new Insets(10, 10, 10, 10));
        hBox.getStylesheets().add(pillButtonCss);
        vbox.getChildren().addAll(hBox, (Node) group.getSelectedToggle().getUserData());
        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(vbox);
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 850);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    public static void main(String[] args)
        launch(args);
I noticed that if I put heavy business logic into the buttons while I switch the buttons it appears that the application hangs.
Is it possible to display "Loading.." instead of the button label while I switch the buttons?

Welcome to the world of multithreaded programming in JavaFX...
It's generally a mistake to perform any long-running task in the FX Application thread, as it will cause the UI to hang while it's running. You should use the javafx.concurrent package to perform background tasks; the Task class in particular will be useful to you. The javadocs have plenty of examples.
Note that it's also a mistake to modify the UI from a background thread, and that your Task implementation's call(...) method will be executed on a background thread. The Task class provides setOnSucceeded, setOnFailed, setOnCancelled methods to register a handler whose handle(...) method will be executed back on the FX Application thread.
For example, the basic strategy to respond to a button press by updating the UI, launching a long-running process, and then updating the UI with the results of that process is as follows. Replace 'T' with any data type.
myButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
     @Override
     public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
          final Task<T> longRunningTask = new Task<T>() {
               @Override
               public T call() {
                    // perform long running operation:
                    T result = computeResult();
                    return result ;
          longRunningTask.setOnSucceeded(new EventHandler<WorkerStateEvent>() {
               @Override
               public void handle(WorkerStateEvent event) {
                    // get result of long running operation:
                    T result = longRunningTask.getValue();
                    // now update UI on basis of result to indicate task is complete
          // update UI here to indicate task is about to run...
          // now start task:
          Thread t = new Thread(longRunningTask);
          t.setDaemon(true);
          t.start();
There's a bunch of other functionality in Task, such as a progress property and a message property. These can be bound, and updated on the FX Application thread via the appropriate updateXXX(...) methods.

Button Label Change

Good Afternoon
Experts:
Regards to how SAP handles changing a button from Ok to Update when data is typed in a field...can I change the Update to another word somehow? I would like it to change to Transfer on one of my screens instead of Update.
If not, is this something I will have to custom code for?
Thanks,
EJD

Hi Ed,
This sounds like a simple task but, unfortunately, I think it's quite messy to get it to work.
If the button has a UID of "1" then SBO defines this as the Ok/Add/Find button and handles the caption automatically when the mode of the form changes. It's going to be messy to try and get around that. Effectively, you'd need to reset the caption on the button every time the form enters the Update mode. As there is no event in the UI API for a mode change, you're going to need to check each time the user changes data on the form, selects the Add/Find menu options or presses Ctrl-A and Ctrl-F and then test the current form mode. Only items that have the AffectsFormMode property set to 1 will cause the form mode to enter Update mode when the item is changed.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Dynamic buttons and itemlisteners????

I'm trying to do something that might not be possible. I would like to create some buttons and actions for those buttons on the fly. For example:
1) read some files from a directory (these file store settings)
2) Create buttons using the filenames as the button labels
3) Create associated actionPerformed section related to those buttons
I want to do this because the amount of files and there names could change all the time. Basically I want to create a button for each file, and essentially launch an application using the settings file as part of a process.
So far I've read a filename into a string. The first problem, how do I use that filename as the name of a button?
JButton "string value" = new JButton();
Then, subsequently, how to you set up the action? See code snipet below.
Hope that made some sense. Can anything like this be done?
Thanks,
James
//this loads the buttons
for (int i=0; i < main.size(); i++)
     Vector temp = new Vector();
     temp = (Vector)main.elementAt(i);
     JButton buttonName = new JButton((String)temp.elementAt(0));
     buttonName.addActionListener(this);
     northFlow.add(buttonName);
//this is in the actionPerformed section
for (int i=0; i < main.size(); i++)
     Vector temp = new Vector();
     temp = (Vector)main.elementAt(i);
     if (source == (String)temp.elementAt(0))
            loadProgram((String)temp.elementAt(0));

There is a way to give a button a variable name equal to the file name but it involves extremely advanced Java programming involving creating dynamic class instances. I would strongly discourage this approach because debugging it when it doesn't work, can be a nightmare.
There is a much easier way to do this however. Create an array of JButtons. Call it, oh say, "MyButtons". Then at the appropriate places, you can do:
JButton[] MyButtons;
MyButtons = new JButton[ main.size ];
for ( int i = 0; i < main.size(); i++ ) {
   Vector temp = new Vector();
   temp = (Vector)main.elementAt(i);
   MyButtons[i] = new JButton( (String)temp.elementAt(0) );
   MyButtons.addAction...
Incidently, you may also want to re-think your data structure. From what I understand, you have an array where each element is a vector (another array of zero or more elements). This results in code that is difficult to read and write. Consider making your own objects instead of using vectors, then you could write something like...
for ( int i = 0; i < main.size(); i++ ) {
   if ( source == main.getProgramName() ) {
loadProgram( main[i].getProgramName() );
The nice thing about this approach is that you can mix and match objects within the array, or add elements to each object in any particular order and it won't break the rest of your code.
P.S., use the square brackets to indicate arrays. For some reason, this board is converting them into angle brackets.

Enh. request: shortcuts support for button labels

Hi Apex team,
it would be nice to enhance shortcuts support for button labels in the next release. There are a lot of standard buttons like 'Cancel', 'Apply Changes', 'Delete', etc. that require translation for each page they appear in global applications.
Thanks.

Hi Arno,
I had a similar issue with trying to create a Nav bar with dynamic content. My solution was to leave all the standard buttons in place and to use setVisible(x) to make them appear or not as required.
BTW have you noticed that rollover behaviour isn't consistant ie works for FIRST/LAST etc but not for FIND/QUERY.

Changing quiz button text

I am working on a series of tutorials and quizzes for our
client, I want to change the text on the "Next" button on the
quizzes. It appears easy enough, in the options, Next button text
field, I have entered what I want, but it still appears as "Next"
when I publish it. Am I an idiot?
Please help.

This may be a stupid question, but did you save the file
before you published? I have sometimes had instances of not saving
and publishing first and my changes are not reflected.
Also, if the buttons were already on the screen with the text
"Next" when you decided to change the button text, you'll need to
delete those buttons and then add them again. The text does not
update dynamically.
Worst comes to worst, you can manually change the button text
with a double-click or through properties...
Hope that helps.

How do you change a button's depth?

I have several buttons that reveal large blocks of text on
rollover. I would like the current button being rolled over to be
the topmost button so the text block isn't obscured by other
buttons. getDepth() shows me the button's depth, however
swapDepth() appears to only work with movie clips. Is there a way
to dynamically change a button's depth?

It is because for some silly reason the Flash builders forgot
to give the Button class the swapDepths() method. Of course most
folks don't actually use actual buttons, but instead use movieclips
with mouse events. But if you must....
Button.prototype.swapDepths=MovieClip.prototype.swapDepths
Put that on the first frame of code you have, you only need
it once in a swf. It assigns the MovieClip class's swapDepths
method to Buttons (which in some convoluted way are just a special
kind of movieclip).
I've used it before and tested it quite a bit, and never had
any problems. But that doesn't mean that it won't break something
behind the scenes. So use it at your own risk.
The only other solution is to wrap the buttons in movie clips
and then swap the movies.
