Coloring a column in APEX

Hi,
How do we set the background color of a column in a report? I have four columns in the table and I want to display the data of each column with different color.
Can you help?

VJ

Vikas, thanks for the reply.
"background-color:red" works but only for the text background. I want to color the whole cell in which the text is displayed. Please help.

Coloring a column in report

Hi,
I am new to APex.
I am trying to color a column in a report. I am using the <Td> tag. Something like
<TD BGCOLOR="#00FF00">. It is coloring the cell as I want but it is coloring the next column and the values are posted in the next column. The whole table gets shifted to right from that column. I am using Apex3.0.
I am using IE7, I don't know if that matters.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Background color for column heading

Hi,
I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
I was looking at Column heading section-
<th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
Thanks in advance

G'day Karen,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

DataGrid alternating row colors per column

Is there a way to set different alternating colors to each
column in a DataGrid. I have a datagrid where I want two of the
columns to have different alternating row colors, one column (red
and light red) and the other (green and light green).
Many thanks

You can simply set the DataGridColumn property to the
approprate colors.
ex.
<mx:DataGrid y="0" x="0" width="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x640000"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0xFF0000"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x006600"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x33CC33"
dataField="col1"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
or you can use the setStyle:
col1.setStyle("backgroudColor", 0x640000)

Set Background color of columns in JTable

Hi,
I would like to set the background color of columns, which are not editable, to a grey color.
I have a JTable with 8 columns where the first is not editable (set through a TableModel.
Regards
Thomas

one can use a most efficient method of changing looks of table data by overidding prepareRenderer() method of JTable. this method returns a component which JTable uses to display a cell. a solution could be
public class mytable extends JTable
   public component prepareRenderer(.......)
        component c = super.prepareRenderer(....);
         if ( not_my_column )
            return c;
        c.setBackground(Color.grey);
        return c;
}

Interactive Report, issue with backgroud color of Column Heading.

Hi,
I am using Theme -16
and there is a Interactive Report with the following columns Headings
Employee Name   Employee No DOB
Now, the label of the first column is changed from Employee Name to Employee<br>name.
The column heading is now displayed as follows.
Employee   Employee No   DOB
Name         problem is when I add a break in any of the column heading..the background color of the column headings is different than the first one (little bit darker).
Why the background ground of the column heading is different in both these cases??.
Thanks,
Deepak

Why the background ground of the column heading is different in both these cases??.The report heading background is controlled by the CSS rule
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA th {
background: #4e4e4e;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
border-top: 1px #ccc solid;
border-bottom: 1px #aaa solid;
white-space: nowrap;
vertical-align: center;
letter-spacing: 1;
font-size: 8pt;
background-image: url(../ws/report_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}This uses a [gradient image|http://apex.oracle.com/i/ws/report_bg.gif] that is repeated horizontally to provide a shaded background from light to dark grey. As the background image doesn't repeat vertically, when the height of the heading is more than the height of the image the gradient is replaced by the underlying background colour (#4e4e4e). This is what's happening when the break is inserted into the header text: the height of the heading increases, causing more of the darker area of the background image/underlying colour to be visible.

How to color single column cells with different colors in classic report based different conditions

Hi ,
Am working on Oracle Apex 4.2 version. Am trying to generate a classic report with different cell colors based on the conditions.
I tried the solution provided in the below link.
https://forums.oracle.com/message/9518723#9518723.
I tried the same query given in that link.
   SELECT e.*,
CASE
    WHEN sal < 1000
    THEN 'red'
    WHEN sal BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000
    THEN 'yellow'
    WHEN sal > 2000
    THEN 'green'
END the_color
FROM emp e
And, I hidded the column 'the_color' in Report Attributes,
          the Column Template1 has the code , <td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>.
After this, what are the steps did I miss here. Because am not getting the report which I need.
Kindly do provide solution.
Thanks,
yashu.

SAL column values should visible with different color based on the conditions. Same way i did in my report it was working for me. Please refer the below links for more information,

Error while renaming column in Apex 3.2.1

Hi,
I am getting the following error while renaming column in Oracle Apex 3.2.1 through SQL workshop:
"ORA-24344: success with compilation error"
Interestingly, it only gives an error when I rename the column again to its original name. For example, if I renaming the column X to X1 (no problem) but renaming back to X, I get this error. Same is true for X to X1 to X2 without any issues but renaming back from X2 to either X1 or X, I get the same error.
Any insight into this issue would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I've moved a step ahead, getting the new apex screen at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/ and can also login to my application. However there is no image for Application Express on http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/ and I cannot click on the Login button. Hitting http://127.0.0.1:8080/i/ does list down the images. Any clue on what could be the problem?
For others reference: I'm not sure what was wrong, but I tried the entire steps again, with the 2 changes: shutdown the listener and job process ( in step 3.1) before running 'apexins' and second that I installed on SYSAUX and not USERS (in step 4)
1. Downloaded apex_3.2.1.zip to C:\Software

How to change colors of columns in a chart view

Hi experts,
I've a chart view which chart type is column. I have put 3 data series and I want to change the colors of them.
By default, the 3 columns are displayed in blue, green and yellow and I wish put them in green, orange, and red. Is it possible?
I've tried to change the color scheme but I have only 3 propositions (Straight, Reverse and Snake) that not correspond to my wish.
Any idea?
Thanks for help

Hi Kiran,

How to display images from BLOB column via APEX 4.0

Hello,
I did the following in order to display images of two Oracle records on the APEX page. I am using APEX Version : 4.0.1.00.03 , Oracle DB Version : 10.2.0.4.0.
1. Created An oracle table TEST_FORM
with 3 columns
( ID number, MIME_TYPE varchar2(255) , Image BLOB )
2. Inserted two records
10001, image/gif, ( actual image1)
10002, image/gif, ( actual image2)
3. created an Oracle procedure
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE show_my_form ( p_image_id IN test_form.id%type) AS
l_mime test_form.mime_type%type;
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000);
lob_loc test_form.IMAGE%type;
BEGIN
SELECT mime_type, IMAGE
, DBMS_LOB.getlength (IMAGE)
INTO l_mime, lob_loc, l_length
FROM test_form
WHERE id = p_image_id;
owa_util.mime_header(l_mime, false);
htp.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file (lob_loc);
END show_my_form ;
4. In Apex 4.0
step1. Created an interactive report on a new APEX page
step2. Specified the following in the Region Source
select id, mime_type, '<img src="#OWNER#.show_my_form ?p_image_id=#ID#" />' photo
from TEST_FORM
The column result shows as <img src="CCS.show_my_form?p_image_id=#ID#" />
I am unable to display the column image as a link to a proper image photo.
Could you please advise me if I missed anything ?
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Susanna

Maybe the space you have before the ? is causing issues. there shouldn't be any space.
Your procedure looks to be much the same of one that I have.
Have you granted execute on your procedure?
Also, what version DB are you running? This could be another issue: http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/04/xe-calling-stored-procedures.html
But anyway, you don't need to create your own procedure these days. You could do the following:
in your query, have a column: dbms_lob.getlength(blob) photo ; save, then in column attributes for that column, apply a format mask. There is usually a link below the text box for the format mask - BLOB Download Format Mask, which will help you build the format mask. But it is documented here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/advnc.htm#BCGGJHEF

Colors in column

Hi All,
Wanted to know if I can give colors in a column:
For eg if i have a column for number of projects (values from 1 to 100) Can I display another column where I could just give colors like 1- 25 projects red color, 26-50 blue. 51-75 green and 76-100 as yellow ...
how to do this, I assume I will have to write a formula for color column but how . What would i call this technically?
Thanks,
Candie

1. Insert the project number in the report and then next to it insert a text box.
2. Right click on the text box and then on Format Text.
3. In the pop up window, click on the Border tab and then on the x+2 button across from 'Background'.
4. In the formula workshop, type
select {db.project.nbr}
// {db.project.nbr} is the project number field
case 1 to 25:
crred
case 26 to 50:
crblue
case 51 to 75:
crolive
case 76 to 100:
craqua
default:
crnocolor;
// change the color constants or use color codes as desired
5. Save and close.
In the report the text box background should now change colors depending on the project number.

What is Maximum No. of columns in APEX 3.2 Interactive Report

Hi All,
Is there any limitation on maximum number of columns in a APEX (3.2) Interactive Report page, I have a report containing more than 200 columns. I am tyring to add another 25 new columns and found this error msg: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
I can add 5-6 new columns and it's runing okay but after that the msg. is coming.

A query 225 columns wide? Is that not a bit excessive? I can't imagine that being particularly user-friendly. Perhaps it might be worth considering some sort of master->detail type report with the relevant filters for content - that should give your users something a mite bit more manageable.
