Clicking on TOC Item Jumps to Previous Identical Entry. How to highlight the selected one?

Win 7, 64 bit
RH 9 (latest patch)
HtmlHelp (CHM) output
I have many TOC pages that are identical.
For example, in our software some toolbar icons are repeated on different screens. In the built CHM help, if I click on a later identical page reference in our TOC, the TOC automatically jumps focus to the first entry. It doesn't stay on the selected entry.
This causes confusion as all of a sudden the user is in an entirely different context. How can I get it to highlight the selected item and not jump to the first reference?

Hi Jared
Note that this issue is generically related to any help system and isn't a "RoboHelp specific thing". When multiple points in a Table of Contents reference the same page, how is the system supposed to determine exactly which TOC node is the correct one?
The way past this is to create multiple distinct nodes from the TOC to the topic.
One way involves never creating an actual link from the TOC to the topic. Instead, create as many distinct topics as you need in the TOC and have them redirect to the desired topic. The bottom line is that the correct page is presented and the correct TOC node is highlighted.
Another way involves a similar approach. Create distinct topics that simply present an inline frame (IFRAME) that has the single "real" topic.
Yet another way involves another variation. Create a Snippet that is essentially the single entire topic. Then create distinct topics that only contain the snippet.
Hope this helps... Rick

Any ideas on what would cause this NOT to work? I added this row right after the table is created and populated and it is still not highlighted when I enter the form. The snippet of code that does this is:
MyTableModel modelS = (MyTableModel)dataModel.get("S");
jTable1 = new JTable(modelS);
jTable1.setRowSelectionInterval(0,0);MyTableModel is this:
class MyTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
public MyTableModel(Object[] columnNames, int numRows) {
    super(columnNames, numRows);
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
    if (TableKey == 'S') {
      if (column == 6) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'O') {
      if (column == 0 || column == 4 || column == 5) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'P') {
      return false;
return true;
}Can anyone help? Thanks.

How to find the selected item in alv grid or table control

can any one tell me please
how to find the selected item in alv grid or table control

In table control, If you goto screen painter and goto table control properties ( f2 ), there is one check-box w/selColumn check that and give column name. Then add that column to your internal table.
IN PAI
LOOP AT it_tkhdr.
    FIELD it_tkhdr-sel_row
      MODULE tab_tkhdr_mark ON REQUEST.
ENDLOOP.
MODULE tab_tkhdr_mark INPUT.
MODIFY it_tkhdr INDEX tc_tkhdr-current_line.
ENDMODULE.                 " tab_tkhdr_mark INPUT
here it_TKHDR is internal table sel_row is field for selection
After that, you can loop at it_tkhdr where sel_row is 'X' to get selected rows.

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
Thanks

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;

I'm having trouble importing pictures from the internet....when I drag the picture to the icon, it gives me the option to import all duplicates. Even when I click "NO", it STILL imports every picture I have imported AGAIN, including the new one! WHY??

How to get the selected items from listbox

Regarding listbox i have two questions
1) I want to get the selected items as per the order in which ihave selected.Presently i'm getting in the ascending order.For example after selcting the 1,2,6 if i select 3 then its giving 1,2,3,6.But i want it in the order 1,2,6,3
2)I want to select items from a single list box to many other listboxes.(ie) my first selection should goto first,second one to the second listbox and like this.How should i write the logic.
please give me a suggestion.

In order to have the selected items line up in accordance to the selection order, please do it one at a time. (That's the limit for that VI)
If you need more than that (i.e. to regconize which item clicked first and which one comes later), you may have to figure it out ya
Wish you good luck. Perhaps, someone else has a already made vi.
Cheers!

How to get the selected item of a ListBox if it's contents are binded data? (Please read)

So, I am making an application in which binds data from a WebClient to a ListBox. Thus, it is needed to understand that I did not create this data, it is from a Web API. So my goal is to be able to click on any of the items in the list box(which are binded
from a web API) and open a pop-up to display more data binded from that specific area.
Example:
The data has been loaded and I click on the 2nd item, well this item is a Metallica concert located in Russia blah blah.. ok, so I press it, it opens a pop up with more info like the date, location, etc...
Info:
I am binding the things in the lost box from and "events" statement, and I want the data in the list box in the pop up to display the selected child item, "event".
Zack Bowling

So are you storing that 'more info data' along with main data(i.e. that metallica concert etc.) somewhere in a List/observableCollection/database etc, if yes then probably it can be fetched directly from that collection.
e.g.
private void listBox_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
var Itemobj = (listboxname.SelectedItem) as ObjectClassname; string datevalue = Itemobj.date; string location = Itemobj.location;
//so using Itemobj you can fetch the properties you want as stored in ObjectClassname.
// Here ObjectClassname is the name of class storing the properties(setter-getter) for the parsed data.

How to reference the selected row on a report by click a radiobox

I created a report with a column displayed as a radiobox.The report source is like "select htmldb_item.radiogroup(1,.....),rec_id,....from .... where ....",after click one radiobox,i want to get other column's value in the selected row in the after submit process ,can anyone help me?????? how to reference "rec_id" of the selected row?

Hello,
First, please tell us your first name, and update your forum handle. It’s make it easier to track your threads, and help you.
>> apex_application.g_f01(1)" only return the first record's rec_id,if i click radiobox in other rows,it returns the same result as click radiobox in the first row?
The ‘G_F01’ is an array of values, so apex_application.g_f01(1) will always bring you the first element of this array. If you want to retrieve other values from this array, which will include the values of the radiogroup value of the other lines, you need to use a loop. Something like that should work:
for i in 1.. apex_application.g_f01.count loop
… apex_application.g_f01(i) …
end loop;
>> after click one radiobox,i want to get other column's value in the selected row in the after submit process
That means that the value of your radiogroup item should include some indication to the line you are on. If, like in Andy’s example, you can retrieve your record from a table, based on a PK, your radiogroup can return this kind of information. However, if the data on the other columns of the select raw, were just entered/updated by the user (like in a tabular form), the radiogroup item should include information about the row you are in, in order for you to be able to access the corresponding array elements – other G-Fxx arrays – of the other columns in the row. In this case, I believe using checkboxes is preferable.

How to restrict the selection of other nodes when we minimize previous node

Hi ,
I have requirement where i am displaying the data in tree view as result list.
Here in the tree view i have i base under that iobject and under that contract
when i expand ibase node and select some iobjects and when i minimize the ibase now automatically next level ibase nodes are selected based on number of iobject selected in previous ibase node what i have selected.
Any inputs plz help me.
Regards,
Neelam

Hi,
The selection is based on table row index. When you minimize a node in a tree, the selection will change as another node will come under that index number. You should redefine the select and prepare_output to
1. Make note of selected nodes and store them in a table type attribute using either the "BO" if it's unique or the "node-key" as the key field. Also, remove deselected nodes from this table.
2. During each round-trip, you shoud validate available rows against the previously said table and if they are available, show them as marked.

How to check the selected items of a selectManyListbox in doDML of an EO ?

Hello,
I have a VO based on en EO. During the doDML(UPDATE) of that EO, I would like to check what items of a af:selectManyListbox have been selected.
How could I get the checked items in the selectManyListbox (which belongs to the ViewController) in the doDML method of an EO (which belongs to the Model)?
Many thanks

Hello John,
I know I cannot access the component directly. This is why I asked my question.
The real case is rather complex and long to be copied and pasted here.
Let me simplify it without being too generic.
The VO is based on a hierarchical SQL query. All its EO attributes are transient. This VO is shown as a Tree in the page.
Each node of the Tree has a checkBox. During commit (doDML() of the EO to be precise), for each checked node I need to access the selected items of a selectManyListbox in some proper way to perform further operations on the DB (no matter what now). The selectManyListbox is based on a second VO. As you may understand, the problem is that from the EO I don't have a direct access to the selectManyListbox. Also, as far as I know, the VO the selectManuListBox is based on does not have any informations about the selected elements, since the checkBox in the list cannot be associated to the VO. Basically I cannot know what elements have been choosen.
I hope the problem is clear.

How to extend the selection from cell to row when click one sepecial cell

The JTable contains a special column to display the line number for each row. When user click on the first column(contains row number), the selection would extend to the whole row(React something like Excel). How can i achieve that?

Tree control: How to disable the selection of a child item

Hello everyone,
Im having trouble with disabling the selection of a child item in a tree control. I dont know if its possible but havent found any answers on this forum regarding this issue.
Example:
Parent tag 1
    child item 1
    child item 2
Parent tag 2
    child item a
    child item b
What i would like to do is being able to select the parent tags but not the child items, because i use the name of the selected item in my program to determine which actions are allowed and those that are not. To avoid this problem i look at the first 4 letters of the name and this way i can determine if it is a parent tag or child item and take appropriate action. Im able to do this because the parent tags have fixed names. But even though nothing happens in software if i select a child item it still lights up, so for the user of the program it looks as if the child items is selected but the program doesnt do anything(because i made it that way). Thats why i want to be able to disable the selection of the child item or at least make the selection colour of the child item transparant so it doesnt look like it is selected.
Can anyone help me with this problem, if there are parts of my question you dont understand, just ask.

Muks,
your last image disables the whole tree.
To programmatically disables an item use ActiveItem.Disabled? property.
Unfortunately this only has two states, Enabled and disabled (thus grayed).

I'm trying to create a menu in flash that will highlight the
current
selected menu item when selecting a specific page.
Example menu:

- email
- form
Imagine you have a link in a page that opens the contact >
email page.
Is there a way to get the flash menu to highlight the
"contacts > email"
item when displaying this page?
Something similar to this
