Creating dynamic menus

I am new to Action Script and to flash. I am creating a type of photo gallery that takes information from an xml document. As a result I am creating the menus all with action script. For the menu part of the page I have created a movie clip for each of the categories. In each of these categories the will be a list of photo names. Since this list can get kind of long I want to have the categories collapse and expand. My first thought was to use a movie clip and reduce the height. However this reduces the size of everything in it. I also tryied this with a sprite. Could anyone tell me a good approach at this problem. Thank you for your help.

I would make a nested array of button names. The outside array would be the category arrays which have the buttons inside them. Then I would send the array through a create buttons function where you make top buttons out of the categories and submenus out of the category arrays. Assign the functionality of creating the submenu to the top buttons.

How To Use Dynamic Menus To Place Manually Created Jspx Pages On Sub-Level

JHeadstarters,
Back on the JHS trail and could use some help.
I started using dynamic menus (see section 9.2 JHS Dev Guide) to setup a custom menu structure and found it could not be easier however I need to solve 2 issues;
1. How to get more than 2 levels deep on the menus (parent, child, grand-child, etc.)? In the menu structure setup I have created a menu that is 3-levels deep however when it runs you only get 2 levels. Perhaps a template needs to be changed.
2. How can I assign manually created jspx pages to sub-level menus?
Scenerio;
I have JHS generated pages *** AND *** manually created pages. Using dynamic menus to place the JHS genned pages works fine, the problem is how to do it with manually created pages.
Using Dynamic Menu's I created a top-level menu tab named "warp-core", below it on the next level I have two sub-menus, one named "search" and one named "form" for displaying the results of the search and modifying the rows (don't ask me why they are seperate).
The problem is how to assign the manually created jspx pages to those sub-menus? Or am I going abouth this the wrong way? Perhaps I could use JHS to generate seperate search and display pages.
Thanks!
BG...

Bill,
1. Yes, you need to decide yourself how and where you want to render this third level menu. You then create a region file similar to dynamicMenu2Tabs.jspx, just replace the references to level2MenuItems with level3MenuItems. Then create a custom template to call this menu 3 region file.
For example, you could create a bulleted vertical list for level 3 as illustrated in section 9.1.3 of the Developers Guide (that example is with static menu, but you can use similar technique for dynamic menu)
2. Instead of a group name, you can specify a JSF Navigation action in the menu administration application. So, you create a global navigation case to your custom page, and you enter this navigation case id in the menu admin app.
Note that if you want to generate separate search pages, you can do so by setting the advanced search property to "separatePage".

More info needed on BC Dynamic menus and using CSS with them

Hi all,
The BC Gurus tutorial on Dynamic Menus and how to style them with CSS made no sense to me, unfortunately. The presentation was too rushed and the screen too small to see what was happening.
In a previous question I found out how to apply CSS classes to BC menus after a bit of a run around.
I was putting the # in front of the Item ID name and a . in front of the class name and this was not necessary.
I have further questions though, as I am still struggling to get a BC Dynamic menu to style properly with the CSS I have created.
1. If you choose CSS as the menu type, can you set the font, background colour and rollover state of the menu items in the Dynamic menu section? Or do you have to style it all in the CSS stylesheet?
2. If you choose CSS as the menu type, the option to say how the submenu sits under the root menu disappears. So do you need to set this in the CSS stylesheet? And if so in which element? UL or LI?
3. If you choose CSS/HTML only, how is this different to the option of CSS for the dynamic menu?
4. If you choose CSS as the menu type and if you set a width and height in the menu item, and then set a different width and height in the CSS stylesheet, which width and height wins?
5. If you want a dynamic menu to show on an Android phone, do you have to choose CSS/HTML only and do all the styling in the CSS stylesheet? Or should you avoid dynamic menus all together and just use a UL list in the template? (I am doing a responsive fluid grid layout in DW for the template).
6. I am finding that the dynamic menu I have done, with CSS as the type, does not show and hide the sub menu items properly on an Android phone. Is there a problem with the javascript in Dynamic menus?
Thanks for any help you folks can give on these questions!

.pacnew files are only created if you have modified the default (or a change has been made to the config upstream); in both cases, you should be looking to incorporate the changes.
It seems some new options are being shipped with lxdm: you want those in your config (turning them on or off is a matter for you and the man page to sort out)...

Neelmani,
How: write some code.
The Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Development Framework will be helpful. Hint: you may want to read section 14.2 (especially 14.2.1, item 2, which talks about using iterators in a menu) OR section 17.5, which talks about creating menus to support page hierarchies.

How to create userdefined menus is sap b1

hai,
i have small doubt:
how to create userdefined menus is sap b1
thank u
nagababu

UI API provides two methods for creating and setting menus
Dynamically in Run Time
this method is used to add a dynamic menu to your add-on forms. The dynamic menu is updated each time a new form gets focus.
to use this method initiate the MenuCreationParams object and call Menus.AddEx to add the menu into the application.
XML Batch Operation
Use this method to load or update multiple menus simultaneously. In addition, this method allows reusing of your code in a resource-like manner to improve performance.
After creating the menus in your code, call Menus.GetAsXML to get the entire SAP Business One menu structure in an XML file and call Application.LoadBatchActions to load the XML file instead of calling specific Add methods in your code.
hope u will get idea abt creation of user-define menus..

Dynamic menus from database with URL parameters

Hello!
I'm trying to build a set of dynamic menus that would be based on data from the database. I need to have a menu item for every database row, and all the items point to the same page, but each with its own parameter in the item's URL. The URLs in the menus would look like ".../form.jspx?recordID=xx", where xx is read from the database.
Right now, I can display the menu, everything works fine, but the problem is in the PageMap section of Databindings.cpx - ADF needs to have every URL mapped to a page definition. So even if I have "form.jspx" mapped to "form_PageDef", I have to explicitly tell the server that "form.jspx?recordID=xx" is also mapped to "form_PageDef" by putting this into Databindings.cpx.
Of course, if I have to manually enter page mappings for all the record IDs that appear in the menu, it's not really a "dynamic menu" anymore. Does anyone know of a way to avoid this problem?
Can I somehow change Databindings.cpx programmatically? Can I change page mappings dynamically? Help, please? I'm very grateful for any and all info.

Hi Vex,
I'm not sure whether you'll find a solution as "Dynamic" as you are describing with dynamic entries via the DataBindings.cpx. Menu's work quite differently in JSF (See section 19.2 on dynamic menus in the developers guide). You may need to get the solution halfway.
1) Drive the menu contents / structure from the database via some backing bean. The sample application that comes with JDeveloper has a fixed menu structure via exposed beans. You'd have to adapt this to be driven off of a managed bean. This takes a bit of work, but it can be accomplished. You'll need to loop through your database records via the Iterator to build the content of your menuModel
2) Let JDeveloper create the entries in DataBindings.cpx to map the pageDef.xml file to each jspx file. (Manual). The pageDef.xml file gets interpreted during the initContext phase of the ADF Lifecycle, and the DataBindings.cpx tells this phase where to look to create the runtime version of the pageDef.xml (See developer's guide 13.2.3).
3) Manually setup your faces-config with the right outcomes.
4) have the database return the outcomes and viewIds, among other values.
5) do the appropriate thing in your JSPX to make use of this menu module backing bean.
In this case, you'll control the content and structure of the menu via the DB. However, you'd have to make sure the data in your DB matches the definitions of the jspx viewid's and outcomes.
However, there is a quite a bit of work involved to do this. I.e. db design, backing bean for menu module, disciplined co-ordination between DB and JSF, etc...
I hope this helps.

Pekwm dynamic menus bug - any workaround?

I've run into a pekwm bug that's present in both the version in [extra] and the git version, and is basically a showstopper: entries in dynamic menus, generated like this
Entry { Actions = "Dynamic /directory/to/script" }
become unselectable after the first time their parent menu is opened. In other words, each submenu of a dynamic menu can only be used once; after that the main menu must be closed and called again. This is a pretty big pain in the neck.
I've tried, as a workaround, creating a menu that would refresh only when pekwm gets reloaded, as is done in the default menu for virtual desktops:
Submenu = "Applications" { COMMAND = "/path/to/menu/generator" }
But that doesn't work; it simply doesn't produce a menu. How can I work around this obnoxious bug? Is there any way to get menu-refresh-on-reload working?

How to mention numbers in array while creating dynamic sql

Hi,
I am creating a dynamic sql and in that I am selecting some rows from the table and storing it into the array.
I am firing this sql statement within trigger.
But i got the error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
I took the same sql statement (the one which was created dynamically) in the procedure and tried to run it but it gave me the same error.
=========================================================
Begin
type NewValueArray is table of varchar2(4000);
nVal_Array NewValueArray;

I tried using to_number but still the same error.
Can some body please inform me where I am goofing.
Thanks!

I got a different error, but you need to initialise your nval_array and make sure it can hold three values. The following should work:
declare
type NewValueArray is table of varchar2(4000);
nVal_Array NewValueArray := NewValueArray();
Begin
nval_array.extend(3);
Select col1, col2, col3
into nVal_Array(1), nVal_Array(2), nVal_Array(3)
from tab1
where rowid = 'AAAGJZAAGAAAAAWAAV';

WHEN others THEN
Raise;

How to create dynamic Invoice report based on Tax calculations

Hi Ppl,
I have an invoice report requirement. There are multiple line items in invoice and each line item will have a tax % and discount associated with it. Discount has to be applied at line item level. Tax will be applicable on resultant amount which respect to tax share on total amount. Below is example
Part# Tax Qty UnitPrice Amount Discount Net Value
1 12.5% 40 10 400 100 300
2 12.5% 50 20 1000 200 800
3 4% 10 30 300 50 250
 SubTotal 1350
 VAT 12.5% on 1100(300+800) 137.50
 VAT 4% on 250 10
 Total Amount 1497.5
I have created a static rtf which does all calculations correctly. I have hardcoded 12.5 and 4 % tax values for calculations. But issue is that taxes are changeable in future so I want to create dynamic template which takes care for tax calculations. I thought of to create an array to store distinct tax values from XML data and then to perform calculation but don’t know how to do that.
Can some body help me out as this is very critical and urgent?
Note: Tax calculation can be done at line item level itself but there are some scenarios where additional discounts are there so tax calculation can not be done at line item level.
Below is the sample XML data
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ListOfBipActionTest>
- <Action>
<AccountId>1</AccountId>
<PartName>17211KCC900LS</PartName>

How to create dynamic elements in action of a view?

hi all,
I created 2 buttons dynamically in WdDoModifyView(). I created action1, and parameter for that action i.e, id of type string.
when i click on button1, some ui elements must be displayed.....
can anyone tell me how to dynamically add UI elements in onAction() of view.....
i wrote the following code to create & map dynamically in WdDoModifyView()........
if(firstTime)
    IWDButton b1=(IWDButton)view.createElement(IWDButton.class,"button1");
    b1.setText("Button1");
    IWDButton b2=(IWDButton)view.createElement(IWDButton.class,"button2");
    b2.setText("Button2");
    IWDTransparentContainer tc=(IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("RootUIElementContainer");
    tc.addChild(b1);
    tc.addChild(b2);
     IWDButton butt1 = (IWDButton)view.getElement("button1");
     IWDParameterMapping pm1a = butt1.mappingOfOnAction();
     pm1a.addParameter("id1","link1a");
     IWDButton butt2 = (IWDButton)view.getElement("button2");
     IWDParameterMapping pm1b = butt2.mappingOfOnAction();
     pm1b.addParameter("id1","link1b");
after writing this..... in onAction().........of view... i wrote like this...
if (id1.equals("link1a"))
else{
in the if & else condition, i have to create UI elements dynamically.
when i am trying to create Ui elements dynamically, but i am unable to create dynamically here.
pls give me suggestion how to proceed this
regards,
vila

Hi Vila,
Are you trying to create UI elements dynamically in the action? If yes then you won't be able to do so because you can only create UI elements dynamically in WDDoModifyView().
Always WDDoModifyView() would be called after your action. So, you can handle it as you want in your WDDoModifyView() itself.
But if you want that those elements should be created everytime when you fire an event then don't write it within if(firstTime) clause as this would be true only when WDDoModifyView() is called for the first time when the page intially loads.
