Display a message when an item is selected from a dropdownlist

Hi,
I need to display a message(kind of alert message) when certain items are selected from the dropdownlist.
Let me know what is a good way to do this in web elements?
Thanks

hello,
unfortunately there is no validation / alerting for select menus in webelements.
however...if you're feeling ambitious and or this is a definite requirement for your project...custom functions are open source so you could write an on change javascript function within the WESelect custom function that will find the new value and compare it against your certain items array of values.
out of curiosity, what is your project's particular need to have an alert for a select menu based on what the end user selects? if this comes up more often or there's a good use case perhaps this could be built into a future version.

Windows Phone 8.1 xaml, c# ComboBox does not display selection when first item is selected from full page list.

I have 3 comboboxes on a xaml page and most of the time when I select the first item on the full page list displayed when the number of items are > 5, the screen returns to the combobox and the box is blank. The combobox.SelectedItem is valued but it
does not display. This does not happen every time and I have seen this using the emulator and my windows 8.1 phone. If I select any other item in the list they always display but when I go back and select the first item the box is blank.
Does anyone know what I could be doing that is causing this?

Thanks for your help. When I run the code below and the page is displayed, I select an item from the page list and it displays fine and then I select the first item from the page list and I do not see that selected item in the box.
If I remove the SelectedIndex=0 it all works fine except I do not have an item selected for the initial display. Below should show problem and should work copy/paste in universal blank app.

Displaying a message when there are no results from an XSL Query

Using MM_XSLTransform.class.php
I am querying an XML file to produce a list of places whose town name or address match a letter of the alphabet. The letter is passed as a variable in a URL.
XSL:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<xsl:param name="letter"/>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="dataroot/CPINFOWEB[Town=starts-with(Town, $letter) or Name=starts-with(Name, $letter)]">
      <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
        <tr>
        <td>
    <a href="detail.php?park={CostCode}"><xsl:value-of select="Name"/></a><br />
          <a href="detail.php?park={CostCode}"><xsl:value-of select="Town"/></a><br />
      <xsl:value-of select="Address"/><br />
      <br />
      </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Destination PHP file:
setXML("../regions/CPINFOWEB-mobile.xml"); $mm_xsl->setXSL("list.xsl"); $mm_xsl->addParameter("letter",$_GET['letter']); echo $mm_xsl->Transform(); ?>
The result Name and Town are displayed as a URL to link to a "more details" page.
All works fine, but when there are no results for a letter of the alphabet I obviously get a blank page.
How do I display a "no results" message instead

I deleted my original reply because the formatting of the XSL code was messed up by the forum. Here's trying again:
Your current code creates a new table for each result. The opening and closing <table> tags should be outside the the <for-each> loop. To deal with the possibility of no results being found, use a conditional statement and the count() function like this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<xsl:param name="letter"/>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<xsl:for-each select="dataroot/CPINFOWEB[Town=starts-with(Town, $letter) or Name=starts-with(Name, $letter)]">
        <tr>
        <td>
    <a href="detail.php?park={CostCode}"><xsl:value-of select="Name"/></a><br />
          <a href="detail.php?park={CostCode}"><xsl:value-of select="Town"/></a><br />
      <xsl:value-of select="Address"/><br />
      <br />
      </td>
        </tr>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:if test="count(dataroot/CPINFOWEB/Town) &lt; 1">
    <tr>
    <td>No records found</td>
    </tr>
    </xsl:if>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer

I have connected TABULAR Model to Excel, and in the pivot the filter is on multiple dimensions. When doing the drillthrough action it gives error - Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer
Is there any workaround to this error? so that drillthrough can be done even with multiple selection.

Hi Vikas,
The reason behind the error message requires the knowledge on what happens at the backend. When you perform a drill-through action, a query is sent to Analysis Services. This query is expressed in a query language called Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX).
Since the MDX language doesnot support drill-through command against a set (collection of tuples) an error is persisted.
For now, there is no workaround as it is a limitation of the underlying language that is generating the query.
When multiple items are selected you lose the ability to drill-down on individual metrics. To resolve you must either:
1. Select a single Item.
2. Select all items.
Hope this helps!
Please mark as Answer if this helps! Thanks, Rajasekhar.

Update JTable when an item is selected in a JComboBox inside the same JTabl

I created a JTable with a lookup JComboBox. I want to update values from the table when an item is selected in the ComboBox.
I tried all the events posible in JComboBox, but I can not fire to update the JTable.
Please if you have a how-to, (source) will help. Thanks.
Regards,
-Rory

I tried that. But it only fires when the JComboxBox, lost the focus. And not in the "itemChange" event. How to do it width that event?
I want something like "intemChange" event, to fire the JTable.fireTableChangeUpdate(); ... I send the code.

Report with BDC not displaying success message when run in Background

I am running a BDC report in Background mode.The below statement is not capturing the Success message when a document is posted.But when I am running the same in ForeGround mode it is capturing and is displayed in the output.Can anyone please help me in understanding why this is happening and how can I resolve this.
CALL TRANSACTION 'MB1C' USING bdcdata MODE mode UPDATE 'S'
MESSAGES INTO messtab.

Hi Madhu,
I think your BDC didnt generated any document when you run it in 'N' screen mode.
Debug your program when you run it in background
Goto Tcode :SM37
Select the job ( march checkbox )
==> in command prompt enter 'JDBG'
==> Then you can start reexecting the job .
You can check the sucess messages accordingly in debug mode
Also add a read statement on messtab for msgtype = 'S'.

ECT List View Web Part displaying incorrect data when View Item

I have a External Content Type which pulls data from a stored procedure. The stored procedure has 1 parameter - the users logon id. The data retrieved is a list of meetings with start date time, end date time, location, subject, etc. From this ECT there
is an External List which displays all data correctly.
There is 2 pages within the site and its subsites that have list view web parts which display a subset of the info from the external list. When the user clicks a specific meeting to display the complete info on the meeting, the wrong information is displayed,
it always displays the info for the 1st meeting in the list. So, I displayed the BDC Identity field on the list and this field is identical for all the rows since the key for the ECT is the username and hence not unique.
I've spent all day trying to finding a way to resolve this and have come up empty. I've tried to find a way to make the BDC Identity field to be unique, using Business Data View web part, Data View web part, and nothing.
The user needs to be able to click the My Meetings url header on the above pages to see a full list of their meetings so I need the external list. Any ideas how to make the BDC Identity field unique or how to get the View Item on the List View web part to
work correctly?

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean.
I resolved the non unique BDC Identity problem by simply adding the row # to the Username in the stored procedure so the BDC Identity fields on the list records are now unique (although they're really long ie. __bk44003500070057003700560027000200140037003700f600360096001600470056003300,
__bk44003500070057003700560027000200140037003700f600360096001600470056004300 etc). Not sure how it generates the BDC Identity?
I still see the same behaviour when you select a meeting to display the details. It always displays the 1st record in the list.
I added code to the DispForm to display the ID when the page loads and the BDC Identity from the record and verfied that they do match.
I can add another parameter to the stored procedure and just return the row # in that field. What do you mean by make the identifire as Identity in operations?

Any way to display a message when Flash is not found on the iPad?

Apple is obviously rejecting Flash to protect it's 'App' revenue. I've been on Android phones that run Flash and display all my content perfectly smooth. It can be quite frustrating how they are trying to bury it when I still have yet to see HTML5 replicate the type of interactive content Flash is capable of producing.
Is there any way to display a message on the iPad when the Flash player is not found?

Use swfobject for Flash detection and you can provide all kinds of alternate content... simple text, images, links, .js slideshow, a mov or mp4 video just for the iPhone... ANYTHING this is regular HTML. Your imagination is the only limit.
And YES, HTML5 is a far cry from replicating Flash... so give them the best of both worlds.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
Review this article which deals with Flash and SEO for more ideas:
If you think that Flash is somehow bad for SEO, it's time to dispell that MYTH!
If fact, in some circumstances I'll use Flash INSTEAD of just HTML because then I'll have better SEO than with just HTML alone.
http://www.worldbarefootcenter.com/
The link to World Barefoot Center in the above post is just one example. View the source code and you see a couple paragraphs of text along with regular HTML links.... but what displays is the Flash version of the image and Flash links.
The client provided the artwork for the page... and that's what they wanted to use a .jpg image. Well yes, that could be done in HTML but it would be virtually invisible to Google. So Instead I converted the image into a Flash .swf and used swfobject to display the Flash. swfobject allows you to create alternate content inside the <div> which also holds the Flash .swf, then when the page is loaded it detects if the browser has the Flash pluggin. If it does, it displays just the Flash content, if not, it displays the alternate content. Since almost everyone has the Flash pluggin, for most people the Flash version of the <div> will display.
The alternate content for that <div> can be any regular HTML text, images, media player, links, etc., anything that you would use if you were not using the Flash. Now the best part is that the alternate content can be "over the top" as far as optimizing for SEO, since it will not be seen by most viewers.
Here's another example of SEO with Flash.. again, the page is just a single image provided by the client:
http://www.ksowetsuits.com/
View the source code. The alt content is paragraph after paragraph of information about the site, including lists and links. If it was just the HTML, it might be kind of a boring Home page. But for SEO I can go "over the top" in promoting the site, since most viewers will never see that part... but it's all indexed by search engines. The end result is BETTER SEO using Flash than just HTML.
On another Web site, a Flash video is displayed, the alt content is the complete text narration of the video. Now how many people would take the time to read that if they could just watch the video instead?? again, better SEO with Flash than without. In fact in one case we had first page search result from that video narration within 4 hours of posting the page.
On still another site with a Flash video, the alt content is another video, but a .mov version, which will, in effect play Flash video on the iPhone (not possible you say??). Well since the iPhone does not have Flash pluggin, it simply displays the .mov version of the video, while everyione else sees the Flash version.
So anyway, if Flash is a part of your Web development, you should look into using swfobject and alternate content.

How to display success message when data is changed in the custom tab in MM

Hi,
I have added a new custom data tab in the MM01/MM02/MM03 transactions. Whenever I do changes to fields in the custom tab in MM02 transaction, and no changes in the standard tabs, I will get a message stating "No Changes Made".
But if I do changes in the standard tabs, it works as usual with display of message "Changes to particular material has been done.
Please let me know, if anyone of you know, how to display the success message if the changes to the custom tab is done.
Thanks in advance,
sudhanva

Hi Sudhanva,
The exit EXIT_SAPLMGMU_0001 is a function exit that you can use for custom validation but not to add custom tab/screen.
But the message issued by SAP is not related to this Function Exit.
If you have used a Screen Exit, then there must be some Function Exits also in the same Enhancement using which you can assign the value of custom fields to/from the standard structure. Thus when the value of any custom field is changed the system can understand that the some changes have been changed and will not issue the message.
In case you have used a BADI, there can be other methods in the BADi using whcih you can assign the value of custom fields to/from the standard structure. This might also prevent the message from being displayed.
I could try giving you further details if you can provide the name of the Enhancement/BADi that you used to add the additional tab.
