Disabling radio buttons in multi record block

Need to be able to disable/enable one or more radio buttons in a group dynamically in multiple record block. Tried setting enabled properties but it sets for all records in the block. At the very least, I need to reset an item using radio to previous value if setting is invalid but when-radio-changed has already set value. Thank you.

Your one row record has 5 items, then I assume empno, ename, ssn, phone, deptno 5 items on your multi-record block.
you entered first row record as,
empno, ename, ssn, phone, deptno
100 John Smith 123-45-9999 234-333-9999 2
101 Al Brown 222-34-1111 123-456-7890 2(duplicated)
You want your code to duplicate the second deptno record as 2 instead of typing in, right?
If so, then you add KEY-NEXT-ITEM trigger on item :phone, inside put,
go_item('deptno');
duplicate_item;
It will copy the first deptno record 2 for the second record as showed above.

Enabling and disabling the button in the multi record block

hi all,
i am using
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.24.1 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
i have a multi record block each block contains a button(button is to approve the record in terms of changing the status)
i have the items like date,remarks and button
the button should be enabled if the remarks is not null otherwise it should be disabled.
for this in pre-record trigger i have written
if :record is null then
   set_item_property('button',enabled,property_false);
else
      set_item_property('button',enabled,property_false);
end if;what problem is enable and disable is impacting on all the buttons in the block. in other words if first record's remarks is null then all the records button is disabled. if first record's remarks column is not null then all the records of the button column is enabled.
i have to make enable and disable the button for the corresponding record.that means if first record's remarks column is not null then only first records button should be enabled others should be disabled.
Thanks..

You need to set the No. of items displayed to 1 as Ammad had said, additionally you can set the X and Y Position (Just Y will do and having fixed X) of the button depending upon the current record.
can u explain this part alone bit more (setting the position of x and y)You need to calculate the variable Y_POS depending upon the current position of the cursor that is the current record.
You can find the current record Y_POS using combination of
V_CURRENT_RECORD := :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD;
V_TOP_RECORD := GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME', TOP_RECORD);
V_ITEM_Y_POS := GET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('ITEM_NAME', Y_POS);
-- Also needs to add the Y_POS of the relative other items in the muti-record block
V_HEIGHT := GET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BUTTON_NAME', HEIGHT);
-- Note :- TOP_RECORD Returns the record number of the topmost visible record in the given block.
V_Y_POS := V_ITEM_Y_POS + ((V_CURRENT_RECORD - V_TOP_RECORD) * V_HEIGHT);
-- You will need to add Distance between Items in records if anyThen you can Set the current Y_POS of the button.
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BUTTON_NAME', Y_POS, V_Y_POS);
[/code[
Hope this helps

Disabling a button in a multi record block

Hi everyone,
I have a multi record block with a button on each record, I have to be able to disable a button at runtime (following some conditions).
the SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY (item, record, enabled, property_false) does not work !
Any idea on how can I do it ?
Thanks for any help.

I don't think "enabled" is a valid property for SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY. You were probably thinking of SET_ITEM_PROPERTY but this won't work for you at the record level.
The only thing I can think of right off hand is to set the visual attribute using SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY to make each button look enabled or disabled. You could define 2 visual attributes, say something like VA_BUTTON_ENABLE and VA_BUTTON_DISABLE.
If you want the button to look enabled then:
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY(item, record, visual_attribute, 'VA_BUTTON_ENABLED'');
If you want the button to look disabled then:
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY(item, record, visual_attribute, 'VA_BUTTON_DISABLED');
Then, in your WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger, look at the visual attribute for that record using the GET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY, and if the visual attribute is VA_BUTTON_ENABLED then execute your button code otherwise don't do anything.
Give it a try and see if that works for you.
Hope it helps.

How to convert a puch button disabled in a multi record block?

Hi!
I have a multi-record block and I need to set some specific item to disabled.
I tried using set_item_instance_property with the following sentence:
set_item_instance_property('INAF_ESC.EEAS_TIPO' ,CURRENT_RECORD, ENABLED , PROPERTY_FALSE);
but it didn´t work.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Vero

Hi,
ENABLED is not supported SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY built-in.
If you are env. has no mouse enabled, you can disable NAVIGABLE property using above builtin.
There is a way make the end-user to feel like it is disabled.
Create a visual attribute DISABLE_VA, with colors simillar to disabled buttion and set thie DISABLE_VA when the conditon is failed.
Inside the button-pressed trigger check whether the conditon is true or false. If the conditon is failed you simply do nothing.

But we can not stop the click action,

Is it possible to enable & disable a field in a multi record block

When I enable a field in the multi record block all the records for that field are enabled or vice versa. I don't want that.
If I enable a field for one record the rest of them should stay as it is.
Thanks for any help.
Syed Jaleel.

You can set update_allowed,insert_allowed, Navigable false for
field in multirecord block using
Set-Item_Instance_Property;
Eg:
Set_Item_Instance_Property('BlkName.item_name',Record_number,Insert_Allowed,Property_False);

Query about multi record block

Abdetu
Please clarify this
I have a multi record group on the canvas, which displays 5 records at a time. The block is based on a table. All the items, except 3 items are displayed items.Now in the block I have a list item, in which I have two values "PO" and "TSF".. If user selects PO, associated text items will get enabled and user will be entering the values .. Same is the case with TSF .. And at the end user selects Ok button to save the record to the database
Now while fetching the records (based on query) ..once the records are fetched, control will be on PO/TSF list box, now the user can either change PO to TSF or TSF to PO ..or he/she may opt not to change also.. If user changes PO to TSF, only that particular record's TSF fields should get enabled .. The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled
In the sense, if control is in the 1st record of multi record block, only those fields should get enabled, once the user navigates to the text item which is the last of that particular record, then 2nd record should get enabled....
Can I know the solution
Regards

Hello Seshu
ur case explanation should be in points 1,2,etc as possible leaving extra lines and spaces in between .. and the case should be more clear and summarized like:
1- I have multi-records data block.
2- I have a static list item with 2 values eg. (a and b).
3- Depending on selecting from the list some items r enabled.etc.
Kindly note that, this will facilitate ur problem to be more readable,recognizable and save time and effort of someone who wants to help u.
Here comes the confusion:
Now while fetching the records (based on query)
The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. >since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled i think with the piece of code i have just posted to u this can't be happened since it disable all the record's PO/TSF.
if this didn't solve ur problem i suggest either u post ur code to help u or u try to put some validations with :
if statment inside the loop depending on the list item's values which will enable or disable related items to the list.
Hope this help u,
If any Questions pls let me know..

Updating a value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change

Hi,
I need to change the value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change to another item's value in the same block.
Suppose there's a text item in a multi record block called dt1 which is of type date, which is changed in a particular record. I want to change the values of the another item in the same multi record block, for all other records by running a loop through all the records in multi record block. I dont want to do it on the press of a button, it should do automatically on change. Help me resolve this issue.

Multi Record Block Problem

Hi,
I have a multi record block with two fields NAME and DATE. On clicking the Save Button a procedure (PROC_BEFORE_SAVE) is called which loops through this block, and deletes empty records.
PROC_BEFORE_SAVE
LOOP
     IF :TI_NAME IS NULL THEN
          DELETE_RECORD;
     END IF;
     NEXT_RECORD;
     EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD = 'TRUE';
END LOOP;
The proc fails and throws error (Oracle Error Unable to Update Records) only for the case that the first few records are null. Sample data given below.
Name  -  Date
NULL  -  NULL
NULL  -  NULL
NULL  -  NULL
AJ  -  10/02/2005
JA  -  12/12/2004
AJV  -  12/12/2002
This happens because it tries to update the NOT NULL field NAME as NULL.
Could somebody please tell me why this is happening? Is there something wrong with the procedure?
I am using Oracle Forms 6.0.8.8.0 in Windows 2000 Professional edition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anoop

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But CLEAR_RECORD also doesn't seem to work.

Another multi-record block question

I have always struggled with this. I have a muti-record block(10 records displayed). Eventhough my block is a db block, I have not assigned it a table. Hence, it is a non-db block. If I set enabled on a txt box, it
is enabling the entire column. I need to enable only the text box on which the cursor is/user navigated to.
How to do it?
Thanks,
Chiru
Edited by: Megastar_Chiru on Sep 21, 2010 2:03 PM

ok..here is the explanation of the issue
in my multi-record block, there is a drop down list column with 2 values "Monthly %" and "Half-Rent". So, for example, in record 1, the drop-down could be chosen as "Monthly %" while in rec2, it could be "Half-rent". Right next to this list column, I have a text box. When the user chooses "Monthly %", the text box need to be enabled to allow keying a % value (say 5%). While in rec2, since the user chooses "Half-rent", the text box needs to be disabled for this record. How to accomplish this?
Thanks,

ToolTip_Text not working in multi - record block - Please Help!!

Dear Friends & Gurus,
I'm using Forms Version 6.0.8.21.3 (due to many reasons) in C/S mode. Now I have a multi record block in which I am showing the Employee No. My customer's requirement is when I place the mouse on this Emp no., the emp. name must be displayed. I thought of achieving this by ToolTip_text. For this I'm having a Database function which returns the name (as I use this functionality in many forms), in the When-New-Item-Instance block level trigger I'm calling that function with passing the emp code as below
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_ITEM, TOOLTIP_TEXT, FUNC_DIS_EMP_NAME(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_VALUE));But it is working only when I point the mouse in the first record. When I click on 3 or 4 record and then point to the first record, I'm getting the 3 record's name but in the first record.
Please help me - I searched through the forum and I find no accurate answer. It is urgent - please help.
Thank you.
With Kind Regards,
Perumal Senthil Alagu.

Dear Safwan Bhai,
As salaamo alaikum Rahamatulla hi burakathu!!
Actually I'm having a multi record block in which all the emp no., days of attendance, etc will be displayed when I click on the search button. My requirement is when point the mouse over the emp no, the emp name must be displayed as a Tool tip text. My fields are non-editable, so Post-Change is not working. I placed the coding in the When-new-item-instance - in this case the emp name is displayed, but only for the first field, when I move the mouse to second and third fields, the empname of that particulart field is displayed as a tool tip but in the first field only.
Any other suggestions?
Anyway I would appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Is it possible to requery only a single row of a multi record block?

Hi,
I have a data block say "Employees". This is a multi record block.
Requirement: Two users are working on the same form (front end). Now the user1 has made change for EMP1 The same is not reflected in the User2 Session. Hence i need to requery the values updated for EMP1
Issue: Since there lots of employees listed in this block. i do not want all the employees details to be required (Block requery). Instead is it possible to requery only a perticular record to be required?
Thanks,
Vidya

I think not possible........
Usually Approach is the data in grid table displays as read only and when user press EDIT button then they can edit one single record in a separate window.
ooh got one idea.......
may be create a save point and rollback to that particular save point ....... i hv never tried it but try it might solves your problem
there is a feature of Clear_form rollback to save point
PROCEDURE CLEAR_FORM
(commit_mode    NUMBER,
   rollback_mode NUMBER);
Parameters
If the end user has made changes to records in the current form or any called form, and those records have not been posted or committed, Form Builder processes the records, following the directions indicated by the argument supplied for the following parameter:
commit_mode     ASK_COMMIT Form Builder prompts the end user to commit the changes during CLEAR_FORM processing.
DO_COMMIT Form Builder validates the changes, performs a commit, and flushes the current form without prompting the end user.
NO_COMMIT Form Builder validates the changes and flushes the current form without performing a commit or prompting the end user.
NO_VALIDATE Form Builder flushes the current form without validating the changes, committing the changes, or prompting the end user.
rollback_mode     TO_SAVEPOINT Form Builder rolls back all uncommitted changes (including posted changes) to the current form's savepoint.
FULL_ROLLBACK Form Builder rolls back all uncommitted changes (including posted changes) which were made during the current Runform session. You cannot specify a FULL_ROLLBACK from a form that is running in post-only mode. (Post-only mode can occur when your form issues a call to another form while unposted records exist in the calling form. To prevent losing the locks issued by the calling form, Form Builder prevents any commit processing in the called form.) Edited by: BaiG on Apr 12, 2010 3:49 PM

Re-sequencing records in a multi record block

I have a multirecord block with sequence No field which is unique no and other fiels which is showing from the values which I have stored in a table say sequence No from 1 to 10 along with other fields.If I change the record which has the sequence No say 6 to become seq no 2 ,then the record with seq no 2 should become seq no 3 and the rec with seq no 3 should become seq no 4 and rec with seq no 4 should become seq no 5 and rec ord with seq no 5 should become seq no 6.This should automatically happen when the user changes say
seq no 6 to seq no 2 .User may change any seqq no like this.
We will provide 2 text box serialNo from and Serial No 2 and a button click should swap the records in between this two seq no and show it on the screen in the multi record block.Please help me to code this.
Regards
Jayshree Suresh

User455091,
1- You can add a non based checkbox item to your block. To resequence a record, you may have to check the record you want to change and then, check the position you want to change it for. Example: if you want to change the 6th to seq 2, you check the record 6 and check the record 2 right after (you can choose any logic to implement your sequence change. this is only an example).
2- When you check the first record, set a global variable "seq_from" with the value of the sequence field (or :system.cursor_record if the block is ordered by this sequence)
3- When you check the 2nd record, set a global variable "seq_to" and proceed to the resequence.
4- Manage the change down and change up (if "seq_from">"seq_to" or "seq_from"<"seq_to")
5- You have to change the values of all the record fields for all the records between seq_from and seq_to. by doing a loop between seq_from and seq_to. You may have to use previous_record or next_record depending on if it is a change_qown or a change_up.
6- When the resequence is done, reset all the variables to blank, and don't forget your checkbox!
This seems difficult, but only think about it. It is easier than what you expect. This method is more user-freindly but, just think about it....

Editing record items in a multi-record block - 1 record at a time.

Hello,
I have the following scenario: Currently in my multi-record block, to edit an item of a record, the user has to double click on the record to enable the 'save changes' button. However, I want to turn the navigation to all other records turned off. The only way the user should be able to edit other records is save changes first, then again double click on the desired record to re-enable the 'save changes' button (at this time navigation to all other records should be turned off). ie., the user should be able to edit 1 record at a time (At any given time, I won't be having many records in the block which the user may have to modify).
How can this be achieved?
Thanks,
Chiru

That is pretty odd requirement, but this might work:
When the user double-clicks the record, enable the Save button, and set a value in any column of the record to its current value. This will cause Forms to set the record status to CHANGED, and will not permit navigation away from the record until the When-validate-record trigger runs successfully.
In the Save button, start a non-repeating timer to run maybe 20 milliseconds, then issue a Validate(Record_Scope); command. Check form_success then commit_form.
In the when-validate-record trigger: Do any record validation that may be necessary, and Raise Form_Trigger_Failure if anything is wrong. Then check for the existence of your Save button's timer. If it does NOT exist, issue a message like: "You must Save the changes first" and Raise Form_Trigger_Failure; If the timer exists, do not raise the error.

you can have non-database block and write "insert into <table>" statements for each row of block at when-button-pressed of 'commit' button. Commit after each row insertion. This will serve your purpose.
