Change Table control Column Header text dynamically

Hi,
I have an requirement to change table control column header text dynamically.
i.e. I have about 10 columns in table control, out that need to change 5 columns header text. These header texts are stored in an internal table.
I had looked into the below link but could not get exactly how to do it.
Dynamic headers in table control
Could you please tell me how to do that.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Saba,
What you will need to do is this.....
1. First replace the column Header Text box by I/O Fields and name them accordingly.
Say for example we will consider the same example which i had explained in the link.
there in the column header we want the header to change when some dates and entered into two fields which are out of table control say
Start Date: 01.01.2010 to End Date: 06.01.2010
Now we want the header to look like this,
Column No.    -        1               2             3                  4               5               6
Header label   -    01/FRI       02/SAT     03/SUN       04/MON     05/TUE      06/WED
Header name -    SPOTS1   SPOTS2    SPOTS3      SPOTS4     SPOTS5    SPOTS6
then you go as per the instructions in the link......
Let me know if you need further help,
Hope this solves your problem....

Table css column-header text color not working

When setting
-fx-text-fill: red;
in a css table, it does not change the header to tex to red. Is there another value? .table-view .column-header {

You have to override the following from the caspian.css:
.table-view .column-header {
    -fx-text-fill: -fx-selection-bar-text;
    /* TODO: for some reason, this doesn't scale. */
    -fx-font-size: 1.083333em; /* 13pt - 1 more than the default font */
    -fx-size: 25;
    -fx-border-style: solid;
    -fx-border-color:
          Inner border: we have different colours along the top, right, bottom and left.
          Refer to RT-12298 for the spec.
        derive(-fx-base, 80%)
        linear-gradient(to bottom, derive(-fx-base,80%) 20%, derive(-fx-base,-10%) 90%)
        derive(-fx-base, 10%)
        linear-gradient(to bottom, derive(-fx-base,80%) 20%, derive(-fx-base,-10%) 90%),
        /* Outer border: */
        transparent -fx-table-header-border-color -fx-table-header-border-color transparent;
    -fx-border-insets: 0 1 1 0, 0 0 0 0;
    -fx-border-width: 0.083333em, 0.083333em;

How to define Column Header text table control

Hi All,
I have to create a function in which user will pass Field Name, Field Description.
I have to show that field description in Table Control Columns as Text for columns.

One more thing, is it possible to define the technical attributes like length based on field passed through function.
Please help me to find out the solution.

How to change "Details" column header text in AdvanceTable in AdvancedTable

Maheswara Raju

You can get the handle to the Detail column by using the following:
UINode d = outerTable.getDetail();
However, as per OAF developer guide, it is not possible to change the label for the detail column. The devloper guide has the following:
"In accordance with BLAF guidelines, the Detail column header text for the detail disclosure column and the Show/Hide link texts within the cells of the detail disclosure column can not be modified."

Table column header text orientation

Hi ,
Is it possible using UI element TABLE or ALV component SALV_WD_TABLE to set the column header text orientation to 90 Degrees? Like in Excel if you right click on cell then go to format cells then go to alignment tab where you can set text orientation. I looked at cl_salv_wd_column_header and did not see method to do so.
Thanks,
Gary

Currently this is not possible.
If you do have a need to display (and I would probably emphasis display ) data in an Excel like manner, then consider using the Office control and supplying a formatted XML version of an Excel file to the control - then you can use all the Excel formatting capabilities to your heart's content.
Cheers,
Chris

Wrapping table column header text

Hi
I want my jTable column header texts to be wrapped automatically when the text does not fit in the width of the column. Any one help me?
thanks
mortoza

Hi
Thanks for your good advise. I have checked the site and found double line header of table. BUT, those lines are static i.e. not wrapping rather fixed. I want it to be wrapped automatically when the width is smaller than the required width to display in on single line. Can anyone help?

TableView: column header text alignment?

How can I change the text alignment of a TableView column caption/header? I'd like some of my column headers to be right aligned for example?
It works for regular table cells when I change f.i. the css of the custom DataFX MoneyTableCell cell:
.money-cell {
   -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}but it won't work for the ".table-view .column-header" style of the standard TableView:
.table-view .column-header,
.table-view .filler,
.table-view .column-drag-header {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}

Just after raising this I realised the problem is that the text is a label on top of the header. You can right align by using the following selector:
.table-view .column-header .label {
    -fx-alignment: TOP_RIGHT;
}

Report painter - Choosing column heading text

Hi SDN
I'm having a specific problem with getting the right column heading text into my G/L report painter report created in FGI2/FGI5. In the report painter form I have created the three texts for my column (short, medium and long text). In order for the heading to be meaningful I need the report to show the medium or long text. This is also the case when I run the report as object type Object list. Here the medium text is displayed. However, when I run the report as a Classic drilldown report or a Graphical report output the short column heading text is shown.
Now, I know from running the standard report 0SAPBLNCE-01 in FGI0 that it is possible to have the long column header text shown in the report, so I'm not willing to give up. But can any of you guys help me on how to make the report show the correct text?

Hi Anna and thanks for your suggestion. I have tried changing the header text length in the form as you suggested, but it does not seem to affect the display in neither of the three output types of the report. I assume that there must be a way to control the text header length specifically for each of the three output types. But how....

Restricted Key Figure Column heading text missing

Hello,
I created a restricted Key Figure in a BEX report and dragged this RKF into the columns tab. when i execute the report , the column header text for the restricted key figure is missing. The values are fine, but the header column text for that KF is missing. any help?
Thanks
justin

Hi Justine...
I think u r doing something wrong..........Either u can create Global Restricted Key(Infoprovider level) or Local restricted ket figure(Query level)..........If u create Global........then in the left pane............Right click on the Keyfigure >> New restricted Key figure...........to create in the Query level..........In the context menu>> choose Edit........... or select the heading of the Rows or Columns directory
and use the right mouse button to choose New Structure..........In both the cases....there is a Description Field........u hav to write the description there............U can change the technical name also.........then save it........
May be it is a temporary bug............just come out the query..and again reopen it......

Toplink changes table and columns to uppercase

I found a way to make toplink not to change table and columns to upercase with setShouldForceFieldNamesToUpperCase=false setting (which should be false be default but so some reason isn't.)
However, when toplink is used with JSF how can setShouldForceFieldNamesToUpperCase be set to false? Is there a way to do it in persistence.xml or perhaps there is a better way altogether? (I know i can use @Table and @Column but that is a lot of redundant code if all the fields in java have exact match in DB and i am looking for a cleaner solution.)
My setup is a follows
toplink v2-b49
mysql 5.0 (with 5.0.5 driver)
servlet/jsp 2.5/2.1
jsf 1.2
tomcat 6.0.13
Thanks

Thanks Doug
I Created that class with
     public void customize(Session session) throws Exception {
          session.getDatasourceLogin().getPlatform().setShouldForceFieldNamesToUpperCase(false);
But that doesn't help. Then I checked if it is being set correcly and saw that it is false even before I set it, so the default works as advertised and the var is false.
So i guess this is not the problem. Any idea what can cause it?
here is the class
@Entity
@Table(schema="jpaTABLE")
public class User {
     @Id
     private int ID;
     private String Name;
     private String Password;
     private String Status;
public User() {}
geters...
setters...
here is the code
Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.Name = :name AND u.Password = :password");
here is the error

Table Column Header Text - Refresh Table

Hi. A question about programmatically changing the Header Text property of a Table Component.
I've added code, in the backing bean Setter for the Table component, to change the header text as required.
The problem is that when the page is rendered, the header changes are not displayed initially. Only after a PPR is performed (on a different component) does the table render with my property changes displayed.
Am I doing the header text manipulation in the wrong place? Is there a way to refresh the table programmatically prior to it rendering initially (e.g. after the RENDER_RESPONSE phase?)?
Cheers.

Hi Bala,
After following your invaluable advice I now have the table displaying more or less as a I need. The labels are set correctly (from the Attribute Hint that I set in the AttrDefImpl), and the Rendered property for each column is now derived from Expression Language pointing to the same AttributeHints...
However, I'm still struggling with the DisplayIndex for the table columns. I'm attempting to set the DisplayIndex column property using EL that gets a value from the VO binding FieldOrder control attribute (which contains a numeric value). However, this does not resolve properly and in the column Property Inspector the DisplayIndex doesn't seem to display correctly itself...
I'm wondering if this is because the FieldOrder control attribute is a String while the DisplayIndex takes an Integer. Is there a way to perform some conversion on this in the EL itself? Or maybe that is not the problem.
Thanks again for all your assistance!

How to change JTable column header text

How do you set the text in the JTable column headers? I know you can create a JTable specifying the text in an array:
<li>JTable(Object[][] rowData, Object[] columnNames)
But if you create the JTable specifying a TableModel,
<li>JTable(TableModel dm)
the header text defaults to "A", "B", "C", etc. I cannot figure out how to access the text in the header names so it can be changed to something useful. I know how to get the JTableHeader for the table, but it does not seem to have methods for actually setting header values.

I'm sure that model allows you to specify header values so you don't have to do so manually. I would be very surprised if it didn't override the default getColumnName() method to provide a reasonable names.She wasn't writing the class, but [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=9200751#9200751]outlining a design for me to implement. And, based on a previous comment I had made, I think she assumed I wanted the new design to look as much like the old as possible. There were no headers in the original design, which wasn't even a table.
Anyway, this works:
    final static String statisticsColumnNames[] = {
     "Type", "Count",
     "Red QE", "Green QE", "Blue QE", "Average QE",
     "Distance"
     qErrors = new QEBeanTableModel();
     JTable errorTable = new JTable(qErrors);
     TableColumnModel tcm = errorTable.getColumnModel();
     for (int col = 0; col < statisticsColumnNames.length; col++)
         tcm.getColumn(col).setHeaderValue(statisticsColumnNames[col]);
It looks like setHeaderValue() on the TableColumn is what I was looking for.Again, only used if you are dynamically changing the values at run time or you don't like the defaults provided by the Bean-aware model.I coded the above before I read your last post. The QEBeanTableModel is extremely specific to my program. I.e. I cannot imagine it being used anywhere else. Would it still be better to implement a getColumnName() within the table model? Looking at your [url http://www.camick.com/java/source/RowTableModel.java]RowTableModel.java source, I can see that it would not be difficult to do so.
Just decided to add the getColumnName() method. This whole sub-project is based on implementing a clean modern design (and learning about Java Beans). You've clearly stated twice that the method I have implemented is for dynamic header values only, which has already answered what I asked last paragraph.
