Code formatting, indenting, and commenting

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashbuilder/using/WSe4e4b720da9dedb5-25a895a612e8e9b8c8e-7fff .html

MXML code formatting options are very limited in Flash Builder 4.5. Compare that to the vast amount of options you have to format Java code in Eclipse. I would expect more from a proprietary software.

My auto-indent and code formatting is not working.

Usually on dreamweaver CS5.5 my code (html) would indent my <div> tags and align them up with the end div </div>. Not only were the <siv> tags formateed but various of others tags were as well.
How Dreamweaver used to format my code:
<head>
          <title>Example</title>
          <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="outside_container">
          <div id="container">
                    <a href="#"><img src="images/logo.jpg" id="logo" /></a>
        <ul id="menu">
                  <li><a href="#"></a></li>
                  <li><a href="#"></a></li>
                  <li><a href="#"></a></li>
                    </ul>
        <ul id="right_menu">
                  <li><a href="#">t</a></li>
                  <li><a href="#">t</a></li>
        </ul>
        <img src="images/panel_home.jpg" id="panel" />
                    <div id="content">
                  <div class="column1">
                      <h2>Text</h2>
                <p>Text Here</p>
            </div>
Now it does not even format it so all of my code aligns on the left like so:
<head>
<title>Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="outside_container">
<div id="container">
<a href="#"><img src="images/logo.jpg" id="logo" /></a>
<ul id="menu">
<li><a href="#"></a></li>
<li><a href="#"></a></li>
<li><a href="#"></a></li>
</ul>
<ul id="right_menu">
<li><a href="#">t</a></li>
<li><a href="#">t</a></li>
</ul>
<img src="images/panel_home.jpg" id="panel" />
Can anybody please help me?

Any indent and outdent function for the embedded code editor?

Is any function for code indent and outdent available? If yes, please let me know.
Thanks for replying!

Changes in Accelerator Keys for "Block-Indent" and "Block-Unindent"The accelerator keys for "block-indent" and "block-unindent" have changed in the production release of Oracle9i JDeveloper. (This is a change from JDeveloper 3.2 and the beta and release candidate versions of Oracle9i JDeveloper.)
They have changed from:
[Ctrl]-[Shift]-I (block-indent)
[Ctrl]-[Shift]-U (block-unindent)
to the more standard bindings of:
[Tab] (block-indent)
[Shift]-[Tab] (block-unindent)

Code returns "null" and "0"s in main module - why?

I am coding a program that is in two modules. The main module serves it's standard function. The inventory class/module has three functions - 1) request stock input on 4 data points (1 String and 3 integers, one of which is a double) - 2) calculate the value of the inventory, and - 3) return string which reads out the 4 data points and the calculation showing the total value of the inventory. I've created the 3 functions in the inventory class/module, but obviously don't have them referring to each other correctly because when we come to the end of the program the output is null for the String and "0"s for the int/doubles. The code is below - any ideas about how to overcome the empty output? The code compiles fine and acts like it is going to work, but when it comes to the final command line it outputs
"null, which is item number 0, has 0 currently in stock at a price of 0.00 each. The total value of inventory in stock is 0.00"
Main module:
public class Main {
    @SuppressWarnings("static-access")
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Inventory inventory = new Inventory(); //call Inventory class
        inventory.inventoryInput();
        Inventory results = new Inventory();
        results.inventoryResults(); //call for inventoryResults in Inventory class
}Inventory module:
import java.util.Scanner;
import static java.lang.System.out;
public class Inventory
//declare and initialize variables
   int itemNumber = 0;
   String productName;
   int stockAmount = 0;
   double productCost = 0;
   double totalValue = 0;
   String inventoryResults;
   //initialize scanner
   Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
   public void inventoryInput ()
   out.println("Please enter item number: "); //prompt for item number
      itemNumber = input.nextInt();
   out.println( "Enter product name/description: "); //prompt for product name
      productName = input.next();
   out.println("Quantity in stock: ");
      stockAmount = input.nextInt(); // prompt for stock quantity
   out.println("What is the product cost for each unit? ");
      productCost = input.nextDouble(); // prompt for product cost
    } // end inventoryInput
    public double totalValue( double stockAmount, double productCost )
      totalValue = stockAmount * productCost;
      return totalValue; // return stock value
    } // end totalValue
    public void inventoryResults()
    out.printf("%s, which is item number %d, has %d currently in stock at a " +
     "price of %.2f each. The total value of inventory in stock is " +
     "%.2f\n.", productName, itemNumber, stockAmount, productCost, totalValue);
    } // end inventoryResult
}// end method

Actually my final solution was quite simple - I moved the calculation and final formated print text statements into the body of Inventory's class code. It now works. "Works" scares me a bit.
Someone cooking dinner might rummage about in the fridge and the cupboards to see what's there. Do imaginative things with what they come up with. And, with a bit of luck come up with something tasty or, at any rate edible.
A physician deciding on a medical treatment would do well to try a more cautious approach. A specific aim would be a good thing. And a calculated appreciation of the documented effects of each medicine. And how they interact.
It's up to you to determine which approach your coding should resemble. But it seems to me that your original Main class had a perfectly good reason to exist. It was a driver class whose purpose seemed to be to create and use an Inventory. (And using an Inventory is a very different thing from being an Inventory, so it made perfect sense to have two different classes.) To me it works or not, depending on whether it fufills that purpose. And what you have done is not so much solve the problem of it not working, as avoid that problem.
(If by "moved" you mean that the outputting now occurs as part of - or is called from - inventoryInput() then that is not a good thing. The input method should input: just input.)
I think that is because once the original input was loaded into the program (when I entered product number, name, price and value), the entries were dropped when the code switched to the next step. I think your intuition is entirely correct. In particular look at what your original main() method does (my comments replacing yours):
Inventory inventory = new Inventory(); // (A) Create an inventory...
inventory.inventoryInput(); // ... and put stuff into it
    // (B) Create some new entirely different (and empty) inventory...
Inventory results = new Inventory();
results.inventoryResults(); // ... and print its contentsInstead of creating a second inventory, try printing the results of the first one.

Whoops ... just read reply 2.
It might sense, though to call totalValue() at the end your input method (because at that point the total value has changed). Or do away with that method - which you worked on getting right in your other thread ;)

Code Formatting Instructions for Developer Forums

Although this topic only applies to the two Developer forums, the need for some upfront code formatting instructions in those forums is desperate. There may be hundreds of threads which include one or more messages on this subject. In my case alone, I've posted at least a dozen messages each containing these three lines:
Paste your code here.
Of course a quick search of either Dev forum on the keys +code formatting+ will find the above right away, but those who need help the most don't know code requires special formatting so won't be making that search. For the same reason, neither the excellent instructions in the User Tips Library nor the pertinent threads in this forum are likely to be discovered before they're needed. The +Help & Terms of Use+ FAQ might seem to be a good place for the instructions, but this has been proposed so many times before I'm sure it will never happen. The need is confined to the Dev forums afterall.
I think the solution would be a permanent post (similar to +How to Post a new Topic+ in this forum) at the top of both Dev forums. I don't think most developers want to see instructions on any other topic at the top of the forums, but a brief note titled +How to Post Code+ might make everyone's life easier.
Assuming most of the other developers agree, how could we make this happen?

Thanks so much for helping with this, Nubz!
Joerg's instructions are excellent. I refer to them often and I've had them bookmarked since I found Apple Discussions last year. The new Code section is great!! Very clear!
Now we just need to find a way to get users to that page. Our problem has never been with users who are interested enough in Apple Discussions to visit the Tips Library. The unformatted code is coming from first-time users--not necessarily novice coders, but programmers of all skill levels who aren't coming here to learn about the forums or relate to the community. These folks are focused on their current project, may have found no answers anywhere else, and arrive here with tunnel vision. Often there's a language problem as well.
The newly arrived OP will often start the thread with a page of unformatted code. Those of us with eyes used to filling in the missing brackets, indentation etc. can sometimes decypher the mess, but usually we need to give formatting instructions and ask the OP to repost. The frequency of this scenario has been increasing. Lately I've been posting those instructions almost once every day.
Of course that's a good sign! We've been giving good service down there and the number of newcomers seems to be reflecting that. A big percentage have turned into regulars, so I think we have a very healthy forum. It's just the formatting cycle gets old, and the time and bytes add up too.
My suggestion is this:
One yellow moderator announcement that stays in the first position on the topic page for both dev forums. The subject line is:
To format code: Paste your code here
The user doesn't even need to open the message. Only developers will see this. No change to the page header is needed. If the user does open the message, a link will be provided to Joerg's tips.

Code formatting problem

Is the code formatting buggy or is it just that I cannot seem to find the correct mix of settings? I hope it is the latter and that someone here may know how to get it
After setting the settings I think I want I get a simple SQL formatted like this.
{noformat}
select username
,sid
,serial#
   from v$session
where sid = 11
and(status = 'ACTIVE'
or status = 'INACTIVE')
{noformat}Ignore the fact that the actual query may not be logical...
The first problem is that the different columns are lined up to the left and not indented lika I would like them to be.
The second (and much less important) is that the and/or are not indented like the keywords. I'd like to get the SQL to be formatted like this.
{noformat}
select username
       ,sid
       ,serial#
   from v$session
where sid    = 11
    and(status = 'ACTIVE'
     or status = 'INACTIVE')
{noformat}How can I make the code formatting result in the above SQL (especially the aligning of the columns)?

Turloch,
Thank you for the reply. I figured this may be a bug, so it is nice to have it confirmed. I can live with it not being correct as long as a fix will show up eventually.
The problem with using tabs or large settings for space is that it causes other parts of PLSQL to look to spread out. One thing that happens is that the right justification of the keywords gets messed up. But I can make soem SQL look OK with it, but that is at the expense of getting other ones to not look good. For example if I get the columns to line up with a leading comma, the concatenation is not correct and vice versa. I also get SQL to look better, but then indentation in PLSQL is too agressive and looks very bad.
I would like to be able to set and/or to be set to be handled as keywords so they too can be right justified. Columns (whether or not concatenated or separated with a comma) should be possible to align with the column in which the first column starts.
While I'm at it, there seems to be an issue with the formatting of keywords such as inner join. I think inner too should be considered keywords so it can be right justified with other keywords. Same thing with subselects, they end up the the left of the right column of the keywords.
I think the formatting features are really good now. There is still room for improvement to be able to control it enough to make it look exactly like I want, but it is getting close and flexible enough to allow many different ideas of how the template should be to be configured.
Thanks,
Mathias

Dreamweaver CS3 Code Formatting broken

Hello, I am experiencing a huge deal of frustration with the
way Dreamweaver improperly formats code. In particular, the UL / LI
tags do not format correctly. Here is what I am trying to achieve:
<ul>
<li>
TEXT
</li>
</ul>
Now this pattern seems to correspond exactly to the preview
that you see when you go to Preferences > Code Format > Tag
Libraries, select the LI tag and choose Line Breaks: Before,
Inside, After and Contents: Formatted and Indented.
I have done this. I have also manually checked the .vtm file
in username > Application Data > Adobe > Dreamweaver >
Configuration etc.... and it corresponds to what I have set in the
Prefs.
However, when I use Design View to create the unordered list,
OR even if I just TOUCH a properly formatted list in Design View,
everything gets squeezed onto one line. I get this sort of thing:
<ul> <li>TEST</li> <li>MORE
TEST</li> </ul>
Here is what I have tried unsuccessfully to date:
1. Prefs > Code Formatting > Edit Tag Libraries...
2. Prefs > Code Format > UNCHECK Do not include a break
inside TD tag (I know, that's for TD, but I'm just trying
everything(
3. Prefs -> line breaks (tried Unix, Windows)
4. Commands > Apply Source Formatting (messes up my entire
code by putting everything inside the BODY tag on one line - in
other words, my entire page goes on one line now!)
5. Automatic Wrapping After Column 76 - this one is really
stupid, it just does a HARD break on each line so when you turn it
back off you have to go in and manually delete all these hard
breaks now...
There's a bunch of other small things I have tried, but
needless to say, nothing appears to be working.
Has no one else experienced this? Can you get Design View to
properly format UL / LI tags? If so, then something on my computer
is messed. But when I look at code generated by DW on some of my
co-workers' computers, they also have the same problem - I just
guess their tolerance for crappy code is higher than mine.
I'm using DW 9.0 (CS3) build 3481.
Please help! I have no hair left on my head to tear out and I
may have to go further afield.... ouch!
Thanks,
Tom

I just checked on DW CS4 and it's working as expected. If I
change my LI
entry in the Tag Libraries to Line Breaks: Before, Inside,
After and
Contents like you, I get your desired effect. Moreover, it
doesn't revert -
or worse if any changes are made, whether in Design or Code
view. I know
this doesn't help you verify or correct your CS3 issue, but
at least you
know there is an upgradeable light at the end of the tunnel.
Best - Joe

Searching for deailed info on code formatting rules

SQL Developer 3.2.20.09
Am looking for some detailed explanation of the various options for the SQL Formatting rules. The help, under 'Database: SQL Formatter' is pretty thin. I'd like to see something that explains the behavior of each discreet formatting option. While some may seem self-evident, not all are and even those that appear to be don't seem to behave the way someone might think or want. It would be nice if there were some detailed document to help with "that's not what I wanted" types of questions.

Hi EdStevens,
There is currently an option to put in newlines *"Line Breaks->More Newlines"* after the format (around blocks/loops)
(and after the formatter has stripped the users original newlines). (The option is off by default)
I added newlines where it seemed best and achievable in the time available.
See the example below for formatted output
I have not received any feedback on this - it is off by default.
The code below(1) shows output before and after this option is applied uses the test PLSQL code already in the screens for setting the formatter options.

AS3 Auto Format not recognizing comments

Something is corrupt with my Flash Professional CS5 Actionscript Auto format:
Comments within a block, such as ' // ' or block comments ' /* ... */ ' are tripping up the Auto Formattor, which returns this error: ' Error with autoformat near line: } '.
Comments before package block don't cause an error.
When I remove comments within package block, Auto format works correctly.
How can I fix my Flash CS3 ActionScript editor Auto format?

the problem you're seeing is the least of the known problems with auto-formatter. the worst is the auto-formatter change change well-written code to be mal-formed code.
so, while i don't think you can fix your auto formatter, what you can do is copy chunks of code to a new fla or as file and auto-format that chunk.
then check that it's been formatted correctly and nothing essential has been changed. (ie, at least, check for errors.) if everything looks ok, replace the unformatted chunk in your original file with the formatted chunk.
that's the wisest way to use auto-formatter. it's also good to know and use the undo so you can always undo an auto-format botch.

JavaFX source code formatting (pretty print)

I'm just starting to use JavaFX with Eclipse and I was wondering if there was something, either internal or external to eclipse that would format the JavaFX script 'code'. It gets tiresome hand indenting every line.

AFAIK the eclipse plugin is about 3 weeks old. Code formatting was probably not #1 on their list of features. Netbeans aint 1/2 bad... I'm traditionally an Eclipse user too but I think you are gonna have to either contribute or wait patiently.

How to achieve Indenting and Issuing of raw materials in Oracle 11i

Hi
We have an issue with indenting and issuing of raw materials between stores and shop floor.
Business Process is:
1) Shop Floor should send a requisition of raw material to stores department i.e., (Indenting) with authorization of Production Manager.
2) Then based on the requisition, stores needs to issue the raw material to Shop floor with Stores Manager authorization in report format.
Work around:
we have created Flexi Fields (DFF) in the Batches window under context value,
through which we can indent quantity of that item datewise required.
But the trouble is, it is time consuming and data entry is more.
Also we have RM Pick List report, which is not useful for us for this process.
Can any one please give me any idea how to do this process with minimal data entry in optimal time without new customization.
Thanks in advance for your valuable ideas
Prem.

Hi Gordon,
My SBO version is 8.8 PL 10, Indian Database. I want to see the "Raw Material" G/L Account's opening balance in the Opening Balance Column of Trial Balance or similar report of SBO. The technical problem behind this is - the mentioned reports shows the the amounts in OB column if that amount is entered by the OB Transactions (in Administration -> System Initialization). But how to manage the Raw Material / Inventory G/L through this concept, as the OB amount for this is entered through Inventory Initial Quantity. We can do the entry one day before the expected starting date of the financial period, is that can be a standard practice? For. e.g. entering the opening balance for 1-1-06 on 31-12-05.

Opening PDF in browser using Adobe API - with mark up and comment features

Hey,
Here is the scenario :   Firstly, the user has to review the file (say pdf) before approving it. I would like to open the pdf file in the browser directly for reviewing. Also, I want to add some mark up (sticky notes, etc) and comment features while reviewing. Using these features, the user can pin point the mistakes directly in the file and revert the file for changes if any.
And as part of implementation, I would like to use Adobe java API to do the same. But I couldn't find any code snippets for using this API.
Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Need help with adding formatted text and images to Crystal Report?

Here's my scenario:
I have a customer statement that's generated as a crystal report and that has a placeholder for advertisement. The advertisement is mixture of formatted text and images. Until now we only had one advertisement that was always used on the report. The new requirement is that we would have a pool of hundreds of advertisements and would need to display one specific advertisement on the customer statement based on various marketing criteria. They key is that the advertisement content will be determined programmatically and cannot be hardcoded into the report. I'm using Crystal2008 with .net SDK.
Here are the solutions I thought of, but I'm still rather lost and would appreciate your help/opinion.
1) Pass HTML or RTF to the report
Not really sure if this is possible and how to get it done. Also how would I pass in images? Would display formatting be reliable when exporting to PDF?
2) Create each add as a subreport and append it programatically
I actually have this working, but I only know how to append a new section to the end of the report and then load the subreport to the section. I have no other controll of the placement. Is there a way to dynamically load a subreport to a predefined section in the main report? How about adding a dummy subreport in the main report as a placeholder and then replacing it with a different subreport? How could I do this?
3) Pass an Image to the report
I would create each advertisement as an image and then would somehow add the image to the report. How would I load the image and control the placement? Could I somehow define a placeholder for the image in the main report-maybe a dummy image to be replaced?
Thank you.

Hello Pavel,
I would got the third way.
You can use dynamic images in your report.
Just by changing the URL to the image the image can be changed.
Please see the [Crystal Manual|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/cr2008/en/xir3_cr_usergde_en.pdf] and search for images.

Code Formating after Forum Software Upgrade

Hello SCN Forum Administrators,
it seems that all code formating which was done with the
[code]
Tags was not automatically converted during the Forum Software Upgrade. What can I do to correct my code in the Forum Topic Re: Display ALV GRID with PHP? The message was posted by myself but I can't edit it.
Best regards
Gregor

Hi all,
the new forum version does contain a filter that can handle the old [code] tags. The problem was that we had to turn it off because it permanently ran into Stackoverflow errors and thus bringing the whole landscape into trouble.
Now we have to convert all the old [code] markup in all messages with the new {code} markup. We are currently testing this.
In other words: [code] is no longer supported, the usage of {code} is recommended.
Regards,
Michael

How to store the rich formated text and screendumps in Oracle database

Hi,
I will create an FAQ management system. Users can log into the system, search and view the FAQ and answers. To be intractive, the users can also create new FAQ and add the comments on FAQ answers.
The FAQ answers have rich formated text and the screendumps in the mid part of the answer. It should be presented in one page during user read/update the answers. How can I store the FAQ answer to Oracle database?
Best regards,
Ning

I used blob to store pictures.
The FAQ answer is the combination item of formated text and pictures. Can I use it to store?
If I decided to use blob, how can I present the FAQ answers to the web. How can I edit the answer on the web?
Thank you very much!
