Display a generated query in a text field with values

Hello, I generate a query based on pl/sql. This works fine, but how can I display the query with the values from an item?
i.e. in my query i have select * from a_table where name = :p1_name
if i want to display the query in the correct way " select * from a_table where name = 'JOHN'.
When i try this i only display select * from a_table where name = :p1_name, not the value i have applied to the item.
Hope someone can help..

htp.p('select * from a_table where name = ' || :P1_ENAME);

F8as2-displaying leading zeros in a dynamic text field

F8as2-
Background:
Currently I have to use two different text fields to display 10000 due to the different font sizes.
The 10 is a larger font and the 000 is a smaller font. When I assign '0 'to the dynamic text fields of the smaller font I get just that a '0' not a '000' which is what I want.
Question:
Is there an easy way to display leading zeros in a dynamic text field? Or can a dynamic text field have different character positions displayed in different font sizes? or both?
Thanks for the help.

F8as2-
Thanks for the reply kglad.
Are for saying the best way to display numerically calculated numbers that need leading zeros and or different font sizes is to convert them to a string for display purposes with textFormatting??

Apex 4.02 BUG: text field with autocomplete. wrong help text

Following the wizard for a text field with autocomplete you reach a screen where you can enter a LOV query. The text area for the query has the following help text
Enter the query that will return the list of values. The query must select two columns in the following order, first a display value then a return value. For example:
select ename, empno
from emp
When selecting two identical columns, be sure to use unique column aliases, for example:
select ename d, ename r
from emp
However the query should return only 1 value.

Thanks Rene, I have fixed that in 4.1.

How to create Using Formatted Text Field with multiple Sliders?

Hi i found the Java Sun tutorial at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/slider.html very useful, and it tells how to create one Formatted Text Field with a Slider - however i need to create Formatted Text Field for multiple Sliders in one GUI, how do i do this?
my code now is as follows, and the way it is now is scroll first slider is okay but scrolling second slider also changes value of text field of first slider! homework due tomorrow, please kindly help!

if :p3_note_id is null
then
insert into notes (project_id, note, notes_month, notes_year) So, p3_note_id is NULL.
Another option is that you have a trigger on table NOTES that generates a new note_id even for an update.

Having issues with populating a Text Field with data from 2 other fields

I have 3 fields Tools_1a_pri, Tools_1a_pri_other, Tools_1a_pri_txt.
Tools_1a_pri is a drop down combo with a predefined list. One of the options is "Other". When "Other" is selected, the text field Tools_1a_pri_other becomes visible for users to enter the name of the other tool.
The Tools_1a_pri_txt is a text field with a calculation that shows either text stating that no tool has been selected or the Tools_1a_pri & or Tools_1a_pri_other.
When I select one of the predefined tools, everything works. When I select other, it appears that nothing has changed. It requires that I click on another field before it populates. This is confusing to the user.
Tools_1a_pri Validate code
this.getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").display = event.value=="Other" ? display.visible : display.hidden;
Tools_1a_pri_txt Calculation code
//if nothing is selected, do the following
if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value.length < 2) {
event.target.textColor = color.red
event.value = "No primary tool identified";
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value != "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value;
}else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
//otherwise do this if other is not selected
event.target.textColor = color.black
event.value = getField("Tools_1a_pri").value + " - " + getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").value;

You made the classic mistake of using the assignment operator in an if-statement instead of the comparison operator. Change this line:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value = "Other") {
To this:
} else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value == "Other") {

How do I add and remove text in a text field with a checkbox?

How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
this is my script in the text box......
event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
The text box looks like this...
Hello, this is my narrative.
FAMILY:
John Smith was born on 08/02/2000
Boby Lou
Jack Smith
I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
Does anyone know how to do this?

There are multiple errors in your code...
Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;
if (this.getField("FatherCheckBox").value!="Off")
msg += "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value;
event.value = msg;

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it
Regards,
Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

Text field with autocomplete is always NULL

Greetings,
I am new to Apex so I am sure I am missing something obvious. I am using Apex 4.0.1 What I have done is created a form on a table page and added a new text with autocomplete page item. This new text field does not correspond to a column in the table. What I am trying to do is allow the user to use the autocomplete item to make a selection. Then when the user submits the page, I want to use the substr function on the value in the autocomplete field and populate one of the table fields. I have tried using PL/SQL functions in validations and computations but I have found that the value of the autocomplete field is always NULL. I can access the other fields that are associated with a table column fine. It must be something simple. Thanks for your help.
Page Items
P2_F1 - text field with auto complete. Not associated with a table column
P2_F2 – Text field. Is associate with a table column
This is what I want to do:
Entered this in a validation
begin
if :P2_F1 is not null then
:P2_F2 := substr(:P2_F1,1,5);
end if;
end;Thanks again

hi,
The PL/SQL function can also work when you choose Computation point: After submit.

How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

I have a text field with two or more lines. Why isn't it possible now to apply a text animation?

For certain tasks, Titler and its Presets can be very good, and can simplify things greatly.
However, when one gets beyond the limitations of the Titler, I really like to create my Titles in Photoshop, and Import those as Still Images into my Project. I then use the power of Keyframing various Effects over time. This allows me much more control, BUT does require more hand-work. Still, that added control is too important to me, and I sort of like doing the handwork.
For the "alignment" of multiple Titles, to get multiple lines of Text, you can create the first Title, and then chose Duplicate Title. Initially, that will be identical, but you just change it, as is necessary. After you have changed that "second line of Text," place that Duplicate on the next Video Track, above the first Title, and use the Fixed Effect>Motion>Position, to move it down, to where it would be (by the height of the font, plus any desired Leading), if one had created a second line of Text on one Title.
I also like to use Alignment Grids, when things get critical, and create those in Photoshop, with a trasparent background, and just place them, on say Video Track 2, with all of my Titles above that. Just do not forget to remove any Alignment Grids, before you Export/Share the Timeline, or they will be part of the output video.
For more background on Keyframing (so very useful with more than just Titles), Steve Grisetti has done a multi-part tutorial, available as Basic Keyframing on Muvipix.com. I highly recommend it. Keyframing is simple to do, but can be a bit of a tough concept to grasp initially, and it's a subject that is tough to write about - takes longer to type instructions, than to do the work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - Do not know if you saw them, but Titler has two Alignment Tools - Align Horizontally, and Align Vertically, that can be helpful to center Text.

Text field with autocomplete: little bug in application builder

Hi,
I just noticed that the application builder complains when a text field with autocomplete is defined with a named LOV containing a single column value (Apex 4.0.2.00.06).
I created the text-field with a dynamic LOV (please specify in the docs that autocomplete requires single column queries!), then I used the "Convert to named LOV" task link to convert it to a named LOV and it works perfectly, however as soon as you attempt to change some other attribute for the item, it will throw the following error:
1 error has occurred
Using a named list of values (LOV) is only supported for item types which require at least two LOV columns.As i said, the named single column LOV works just fine with the autocomplete, so the error message seems to be also misleading.

Hi Surya,
the "Text Field with autocomplete" is really just an autocomplete widget and doesn't behave like a LOV. But we are planning to release an item type plug-in which solves both of your requirements.

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.

This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;

A function instead of UNBOUNDED PRECEDING (like "Last field with value=0")

Hello,
I have a table with many rows. The attributes of the table are code, month and value.
For each code there are 12 months and 12 values.
No I want to add the gaps between the months...
Is it possible to count the following gaps between the different rows...?
For example:
Original table1:_
code, month, value
1,1,20
1,2,0
1,3,30
1,4,0
1,5,40
1,6,0
1,7,0
1,8,20
1,9,0
1,10,10
1,11,0
1,12,0
5,1,0
5,2,20
5,3,10
description:*
january value = 20
february value = 0 (=>count this gap => new value 1 )
march value = 30
april value = 0 (=>count this gap => new value 1 )
may value = 40
june value = 0
july value = 0 (=>count this two following gaps => new value 2 )
agust value = 20
september value = 0 (=>count this gap => new value 1 )
october value = 10
november value = 0
december value = 0 (=>count this two following gaps => new value 2 )
New target table:_
code, month, value
1,1,20
1,2,*1*
1,3,30
1,4,*1*
1,5,40
1,6,0
1,7,*2*
1,8,20
1,9,*1*
1,10,10
1,11,0
1,12,*2*
5,1,*1*
5,2,20
5,3,10
I tried this code:
select code, month
sum(value) over (
order by month
rows between unbounded preceding and current row
*) as final_value*
from table1 order by month;
This adds all following fields cumulative from beginning to current_row. But I need this adding only for the following gaps... then start with countin by 0.
I need only the following like in the example on top. Maybe is there an other function like decode to count only the following gaps...!?
A function instead of unbounded preceding....like "*Last field with value=0*" or something... ?
Best regards,
Tim

...Tim,
you should post this question on the "SQL and PL/SQL" forum since it's a typical SQL question.
There are probably much better ways to accomplish this and the guys over there will tell you, but here are two examples that might get you started:
1. Pre-10g without MODEL clause
with t as (
select 1 as code, 1 as month, 20 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 2 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 3 as month, 30 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 4 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 5 as month, 40 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 6 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 7 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 8 as month, 20 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 9 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 10 as month, 10 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 11 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 1 as code, 12 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 5 as code, 1 as month, 0 as value from dual union all
select 5 as code, 2 as month, 20 as value from dual union all
select 5 as code, 3 as month, 10 as value from dual
r1 as (

Reg Query For Multiple Text Fields

Hi all
I am New to this forum..
I am developing an application for generating reports.
In my application i have multiple text fields.
The user might enter any of the textfields or even enter all the fields.
In those cases how to use the query when some fields are empty??

Welcome to the forum.
It always helps to post a small, simplified example of what it is you're trying to achieve.
(When posting examples, put the {noformat}{noformat} tag before and after the example, so it will get posted formatted on this forum.)
In those cases how to use the query when some fields are empty??If your textfields serve as parameters/bind variables for you query, then you could use NVL.
Something like:select ...
from some_table
where col1 = nvl(p_col1, col1)
and col2 = nvl(p_col2, col2)
And how about wildcards (the '%' or '_' sign), by the way? Are they allowed as well?

How to display a record count in a text field?

I am trying to return a record count of a query and place that count in a text field on my search page in APEX. I have that text field defined under Items on the search page. How do I get a query record count to display in my text field?
Thanks,
John

Hi Dan,
Thank you for your reply and yes I was able to select "Source Type" and "SQL Query". The SQL expression I used was:
SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM master_table;
This worked great to count the total number of records from the master_table. However what I am trying to do is to get a record count each time I complete a search from my search page. I have input fields on this page and a GO button which executes the query. The SQL query is location in one place under Regions/Display Point. My display field on my search page is named P16_COUNT2 and I was trying to make this work inside the main query code. I tryed something like this, COUNT(ID) INTO :P16_COUNT2, to pass the record count each time I execute the GO botton to P16_COUNT2 field. This I could not get to work. Any ideas how to proceed?
Regards,
John
