Create Menu items from table data?

Wondering if anyone knows of a way(if even possible) to create menu items on logon from table data where the menu data is stored?

You'd have to make the menu code generic as well - probably the bet bet would be to have each menu item calling a common procedure but passing in the menu item selected - you'll then have to cross reference that with the current function of that menu item and do the right thing.

Create XML file from table data

Dear All,
with dataservice 4.0, I want to create an XML file from a table data.
Table have a single column but more record, for example:
0001000488;100;EUR;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
My desired XML output:
<Data>
0001000488;100;GBP;
0001000489;200;EUR;
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
I try with a sample query but the sistem write only the last record in XML file:
<Data>
0001000450;300;EUR;
</Data>
Can everyone help me?
Thank in advance.
Simone

Hello
That is a very simple (also odd) XML document structure, and as such doesn't require use of the XML target. It can be easily acheived by writing a normal file with a header and footer, which is acheived using a row_generation and a query to generate the hard coded open and close tags.

I am hoping someone can provide very simple example of creating a file on my local harddrive using a pl/sql program. The basic steps are as follows:
First, I store some text in a varchar2 variable like this:
1. select sometext into otextvar from mytable where recordid = 1;
Second, I want this text to become a file in my data directory:
2. c:\data\sometext.txt
The second step is where I need help.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Use this function

Populating menu items from the database...is it possible?

hi
using :forms 10g
we have a requirement in forms where we need to populate the menu items from the database.first we used hiearchial tree where it was possible.but since the requirement changed i am not sure that whether the menu items can be populated by data from the database...will be glad if someone could throw some light on this issue...
thanks

You could always do it but would need to put a fix limit on the number of menu items.
For example you could create a set of menu items at design time with the visible property set to False.
While reading the database, you then set them to True while setting the label to whatever you require.
But it all depends also on what you want your menu items to do when selected.

Hide the delete menu item from a specific document library

I want to hide the Delete item menu option for a specific document library.Since it is for a specific library I would not like to use customcore.js approach.Please suggest some useful javascript for same.
I have a custom delete action associated with the menu which performs other function as well so need to hide the OOB delete option from the item menu of a document library.
I have already used below javascript in CEWP which I added on the document library page itself(allitems.aspx) but yeild no results:
<script type="text/javascript">
var elemTable=document.getElementById('ECBItems');
if (elemTable !=null) {
     var elemTBody=elemTable.childNodes[0];
//iterate each table row to find the correct ECB menu item to hide(remove)
   for (var iMenuItem=0; iMenuItem < elemTBody.childNodes.length; iMenuItem++) {
         var elemTR=elemTBody.childNodes[iMenuItem];
         var elemTDTitle=elemTR.childNodes[0];
         var title=GetInnerText(elemTDTitle);
//here we filter on title, but the table contains more information if need be
        if(title =='Delete') {
             elemTBody.removeChild(elemTR);
</script>
Please suggest which can be kept specific and requires no change in masterpage as same masterpage is used across the site.

Is there a way to create a reminder from a date that appears in an email?

Is there a way to create a reminder from a date that appears in an email that was sent to me? I know that when a date is entered into an email I can create an event on my calendar for it, but is there a way I can have it be a reminder instead?
Thank you

Here is a method for extracting a still from iMovie 09.
Are you working in iMovie and realize that certain frames in the movie would be perfect as photographs? Here is how to extract them...
*To get a still frame from an Event*, right-click on the frame and select "Add Still Frame to Project". The still will be added to the end of the current project. Right click on the still frame in the project and select "Reveal in Finder". You will see a jpeg file that is highlighted. Drag this jpeg file in the finder to the iPhoto icon on your dock.
*If you want a still from a project*, rather than an event, the process is similar, except you right-click on the frame and select "Add Freeze Frame", and it adds the freeze frame at the end of the clip rather than at the end of the project. Right-click/reveal in Finder, drag JPEG to iPhoto icon in dock.
*If you are not using iPhoto*, and just want to save to your desktop, click Reveal in Finder as above, then COPY, then PASTE to desktop.
Hint: If you do not want to clutter up your iMovie Project with stills at the end that you would have to go back and delete, then create a separate iMovie Project just for your stills, and follow the instructions for capturing stills from an Event.
Note: If you do not have a right mouse button, then control-click will work instead of right-click.

Is there a way to move multiple Calendar items from one date to another?

Hello. I have far too many Calendar items every day in my iCal. Until I finally pare them down to a reasonable level, I need to "reschedule" all of my unfinished ToDo items and reminders, to another day, later in the week.
There doesn't seem to be any "Select All" feature available.

Still no ideas? Apple, please come up with a fix. Thanks.

Re-clarify--Urgent -- Can Apex create a dynamic menu list from table?

Hi All,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table data driven drop down menu, which means the menu list is dynimically generated from what is in the table. Eg. if there are 3 rows in the table, then the application will generate 3 list, if I add a row, then user will see 4 lists next time when the page is refreshed.
Such menu list will need to be a home page, which means it is the first page to be called in the URL. If such function needs to be implemented in PL/SQL procedure, can the procedure be called in Apex's URL?
The deadline is tomorrow and I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not had any clue. Could any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on please? Many thanks.
Jennifer

Creating a zipped file from table data

I am currently extracting data from a table and creating a flat file which is read later to create a compressed (zip) file.
Is there a way that I can create a zipped file in one step (i.e. directly from the table data)? I am trying to reduce the number of file i/o hits in my appication.
Thanks,
Minesh

Is there a way that I can create a zipped file in one step (i.e. directly from the table data)?Yes. Instead of doing something like:
FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("flatfile");
// write using foutdo this:
ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream("flatfile.zip");
zout.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("flatfile"));
// write using zout

Unable to create Menu Item List Buttons in Forms - Not Working!

Hi guys,
I need desperate help since I have been stuck on these for 2 days and I am unable to move forward!!
I am trying to create a pdf form using Acrobat pro 9 and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES. Since I am new to this, I have been browsing through numerous sites, forums and tutorials to learn about this. So far, I was able to create the forum with text fields, etc.. I am trying to have a column in my pdf form where the users can simply copy & paste image icons here..I was having difficulty with this already and have done numerous searches in google. In the end, I thought I am better off trying to use the "stamp" tool for this instead of image field. So this is what I did:
1) I already placed the image icons (that the users will be copying & pasting) on my pdfs so users can simply click on it to select the image.
2) I added a new bottom to this form which has the short cut to the menu item "copy" function. I labeled this button as 'Copy' and to this button, I added the following javascript for "Mouseup":
app.execMenuItem("CopyFileToClipboard");
3) Next I created another button that I called 'paste' and this button executes the "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool" menu. This button has the following javascript:
app.execMenuItem("Annots:Tool:StampFromClipboardMenuItem");
I thought that after doing the above, the user should be able to click on one of the images in the pdf, then click on 'copy' button and in the end click on 'paste' button that will then run an action so user can stamp this copied image to where ever they want in that file. But this is not happening!! I dont why?? Nothing happens when these buttons are clicked. I have made sure that the "Extended features in Adobe Reader..." is enabled and also tried running the above javascripts on my console window to test it and i know that the actual javascript code is not at fault since these functions works when I try the code through the debugger window. But I just cannot figure out why these menu item functions are not working when the buttons I had created are clicked!!! I dont know if what I have done is correct or if there is a easier way to achieve what I am trying to do!! Its a shame there is no simpler way for the end-users to copy and paste images to the columns in the pdf forms.
please help me understand why the above button are not working....any help will be great!!

Hi Paul,
This is further to our email correspondence. I am just pasting your email response here since it may be useful to other newbies like me:
"Ok here you go ......I had to add the new row via a script object as the new objects are not completely available until the script ends so I cannot resize the new row from teh current script.
Then when we resize - we have to resize the row, the cells and the image ....we start with all existing subforms then we do it for the new row that was just added.
Lastly I see that you have a delete row button. This will have to be part of the row otherwise we ill not know which row the user will want to delete .....unless you ask them (which is not good UI design)."
I was really impressed the way you modified the script so the table height does not change when new rows are added. That did help me in understanding the methods and it will certainly be v useful to me in the future. I have been practicing and getting a hang of LS and I have actually decided to redesigned my form since it appears that trying to have a fixed table height is quite a bit of work each time a row is added, removed or changed, etc... Your advise so far have been v helpful and it has helped me in redesigned the form into a different layout. So far so good...However, I just have a few more clarifications regarding some hurdles I am facing:
PS: I have emailed you a sample of my new form now so you can have a look at it.
1) Dynamic Image fields:
In this form, I have a subform that has a dropdown list and next to this, I have an image field. I want to change the image based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found a few samples and tutorials on this already and I tried 2 different approach for this. One works and the other doesnt.
Method that works: What I have done here is, I added all the images in the form and have put their presence to invisible. Then using the javascript, I am making the image visible based on the selection in the dropdown list. I found this method somewhere through googling and it works.
Method that doesnt work: Its similar to the above, but instead of putting all the images in the form, I just inserted 1 image field and then tried to change the url of this dynamic image based on the selection in the drop down list. But this method is not working. I tried inserting this jscript and nothing happens:
switch (this.rawValue)
case "1":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah.jpg;
break;
case "2":
myImages.value.Image.href=http://www.mysiteaddress.com/blah_blah2.jpg;
break;
The 2nd method does not work. Although I know the method 1 above works and I am currently using it, I am just curious to find out why the 2nd method is not working? Did I get the script wrong or is this feature no longer allowed? I just thought that if the second method works fine, it saves the hassle of putting all the images on the form and then making them hidden. Instead, I just need to put one image field and then dynamically change its image based on the selection. I hope this make sense..please advise..
2) Changing the background colour of the Dropdown list box:
I am trying to change the bg colour of the listbox in the dropdown list object (only the listbox bg color and not the whole background color). So, I added the following script to the mouseEnter event and this works:
var vName = this.somExpression;
var fieldObj = xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.#choiceList.border.fill.color");
fieldObj.value = "255,255,225";
My Problem: The above script works so I dont need to change anything there. But, I also want to add another script to the mouseExit event to change the fill color to its default once the mouse leaves the dropdown lists. Initially, this field has no fill colour and the border fill style is none. The fill color is only added during the mouseEnter event. How do I change the bg color fill back to none during mouseExit after the above script is executed on mouseEnter?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list only in "boxSubform[0]".)
3) Changing the length of the Dropdown List box:
I only have about 1.6 inches workspace to add this dropdown list box. However, the length of some lists (list items) in this dropdown list box is actually longer and the remaining part is cut out. So, I added the following script to increase the dropdownlist length and it does not work the way I would have hoped...
The script I have written so far:
I added these to the mouseEnter event and it works fine -
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseEnter - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "2in"; //this is to to increase the width of the dropdown list
I added these to the mouseExit event and it works fine too-
form1.pageSubform.dynamicSubform.Table1.Row1.boxSubform[0].MyDropdown::mouseExit - (JavaScript, client)
this.w = "1.625in";
When I tested the form with the above script, this is what happens:
1) First when you move the mouse over this field, the width increases. Similarly the width decreased when you move away.
2) So, even if this is clicked, the list box is opened with this 2inch width so thats good.
3) There are no problems when the mouse is moved over these list items as well. However, this does not look good when the dropdown list item is clicked with its item lists open and then the mouse leaves this area. In this case, as soon as the mouse leaves this area, the mouseExit script runs and hence it makes the drop down list width to shrink eventhough the list items are still open. How do I resolve this? I was thinking about this and I thought the possible way to overcome this is by writing a javascript for the mouseExit event executing something like this:
if this dropdown list is open,
then this.w = "2in";
else
this.w = "1.625in";
I am not sure how to write a jscript for the above?
(NOTE: If you see my form, I have used the above scripts for the dropdown list in "boxSubform[0]".)
4) Hiding the alternative row shadowing for hidden columns:
If you check out my form, you can notice that I have put the "close" button (button to delete table rows) on the left column and I have also put its presence to "Visible (screen only)". The parent table has got the 'alternative row shadow' checked. What I notice here is, when this page is printed, eventhough the first column's presence is set to "Visible (Screen Only)", it still prints the row shadow for this column and it looks bad. How can I fix this? Any help will be great!
I have already emailed you my new form again so you can have a look.
Thanks again Paul and I cant thank you enough for your help. I am sooo happy to see such a great support and resources available here since it can be a nightmare for some newbies like me... :-)

Question: How do you remove Menu Items from showing up in LC

Hello everyone:
If someone can please point me in the right direction in how to convert app.hideMenuItem("Toolbars"); to the XFA SOM?
I am creating the form using Adobe Distiller from an access report. I change the Interface Options in Acrobat to hide file and toolbar menus, but when I convert it to LC, the options are removed.
I also scripted app.hideMenuItem("Toolbars"); in the Page.Open event using Acrobat and when I convert to LC the code does nothing at the subPage1.Initialize event. Not even when I reopen the converted form in Acrobat does the script run...
What is the best method of hidding menu items using LC Designer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time,

Ivan,
Here is what liitle I know on this topic.
The attached doc was created when Designer 7 was released and it has a table of the Acrobat JavaScript APIs and there equivalents, if any, in Designer. According to that doc, app.hideMenuItem() is supported in Designer and there is no Designer JavaScript equivalent.
My brief look at this matter leads me to believe security constraints since Reader 6.0 have changed the rules.
I recommend you take a look at trusted functions and context in the Acrobat 9 SDK.
