Dynamically change label template

I'm using Apex 4.0.2 and I'm trying to dynamically change the label template for a field from Optional to Required.
I have one form and in a specific situation (known on page load) an item on this page changes from optional to required. I have a conditional validation on this item, so the user gets an error when the item is null and the condition is met.
But I would also like to change the item label template from Optional to Required. Is this possible in some way?
Maybe it is possible or easier with a different template. Currently they are:
Required Before Label template:
<label for="#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" tabindex="999"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#apps/required.gif" alt="#VALUE_REQUIRED#" tabindex="999" /><span class="required">
Optional template:
<label for="#CURRENT_ITEM_NAME#" tabindex="999">Edited by: InoL on Aug 1, 2011 4:09 PM

I got the same effect (more or less, just adding a star in front of the label) with jquery:
$("label[for='P4_REL_ID']").prepend('<img tabindex="999" alt="Value Required" src="/i/apps/required.gif">');

Dynamically Changing Labels for Multi Row Block Buttons

Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production
On my local: Windows 7 OS
I am having a difficult time in doing the following in forms, and not sure if it can be done?
I have a multi row block,based on DB table, which displays filename and another column from the table.
It also has a push button on each row, which opens and displays the physical file from its source, when clicked. The filename thus can have 3 diff statuses depending on its sources and accordingly corresponding button should display appropriate label:
a) View Image (its is in content server and successfully imaged. In this case I display the file in the browser, from the content server, when the button is clicked)
b) View File (Display the file from file system)
c) View Error (Display imaging error message from the table, as file failed to make it to the imaging server)
I have this logic currently coded in the post query trigger, at the block level, and tried using set_item_property(button_id, label, <button_lable>), where I programmatically set the button lable, based on the file status (imaged, not imaged or has error) in that row. This wroks well, only if all the files in the multi row block have the same status. If each of them have diff statuses, then only last processed files's status gets reflected into the button label. For eg: The file in the first row of the block is imaged, and one in the second row has an imaging error. The button label for the first row should say 'View Image' and button for the second row should say 'View Error'. But now buttons for both the rows display 'View Error', as thats what got processed last!
I __can not use set_item_instance property for 'label'__ (which lets us dynamically change the label on the push buttons).
Is there any way to do this for ORacle forms? I am now playing with having 3 diff button items in that block, laying them on top of each other and showing only those that are appropriate and hiding the others... But I am not sure it is going to give me what I need? I think I am going to end up facing the same issues as in above case!!
Any expert advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time:

Hi,
Use this code to change the label at run time.
set_item_property('deptno',prompt_text,'pagal dept');
Prompt_text is used for changing label at run time.

How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

How can I change the margin settings in the pages inspector to make them more specific for label templates. I need margins that can be set to hundreths of a centimetre not just tenths.

I doubt you need hundreths as you would not even be able to measure that and the printer doesn't hold the paper to those tolerances.
fruhulda is right. Pages accepts higher measure but rounds it in the measure field.
If you want absolute accuarcy you need to set your measures to points. Everything else is being recalculated.

Displaying dynamically changing image: a problem with JLabel.

Hello! I use NetBeans 5.5 and I develop my GUI with Matisse. I'm rather a beginner in developing GUIs with this editor...
I'd like to display a dynamically changing image. The idea is: GUI shows the image, that is modified as some computations run in a different thread. App will be run on a single machine.
I'm trying to display the image as a label's icon. The problem is that my app's frame can be resized - and when it is, the label also resizes. When the label is resized, the image should also be resized - the image should always be of the same size as the label. The problem? I noticed, that it works only when I make my app's bigger. When I try to lower its dimensions, the label's dimensions remain the same. Why the label don't make its size smaller?
My code works as follows: when app's main frame is resize, the panel (the one, that the label is placed in) is also resized. And, since the label is in the panel, it (should) also be resized. So I wrote all the resize-events handlers (therefore I know that the resize event is sent when my app's frame is resized, and when the panel is resized - but the label is resized only when it grows bigger). In this methods I modify the image displayed in the label (I resize the image).
Or, perhaps, there is some other way to show a (dynamically changing) image with Swing... I chose JLabel, because I didn't want to write my own JComponent. JLabel can display image and that is all I need. The problem is: when the label grows bigger, I create a new, bigger image (icon). Why my label don't get smaller (the resize event isn't even sent)?

There is no component that dynamically resizes an image. You need to create your own. Something like this:
JComponent component = new JComponent()
     protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
          // Scale image to size of component
          g.drawImage(yourImage, 0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), null);
};

How can I dynamically change a Grids ro color

Hi,
I am using a grid within a component in my Flex application.
I have an XML dataProvider, and I want to change the row
colour of my Grid depending on a value coming form my dataProvider
– but I cant seem to get this to work :(
can anyone help / advise me on how I can dynamically change the
colour of my grid row depending on a value coming from my XML
DataProvider????
For example:
Within my component I have the following grid within an
“MXML” component called myGrid.mxml:
[CODE]<mx:Grid id="GGrid">
<mx:GridRow backgroundColor="0xCFD8DA">
<mx:GridItem>
<mx:Label id=”name_lbl”/>
</mx:GridItem>
</mx:GridRow>
<mx:GridRow backgroundColor="0xCFD8DA">
<mx:GridItem>
<mx:Label id=”expiryDate_lbl”/>
</mx:GridItem>
</mx:GridRow>
<mx:GridRow id=”statusRow”>
<mx:GridItem>
<mx:Label id=”status_lbl”/>
</mx:GridItem>
</mx:GridRow>
</mx:Grid>[/CODE]
I am setting/declaring my results/variables form my
dataProvider in the main Application (“MXML”) file:

Application.application.myGrid.name_lbl.text =
myDataFeed.name;
Application.application.myGrid.expiryDate_lbl =
myDataFeed.expiry;
Application.application.myGrid.status_lbl.text =
myDataFeed.status;
if(myDataFeed.status == “OK”)
Application.application.statusRow.backgroundColor="0xCFD8DA";
else if (myDataFeed.status == “WARNING”)

else if (myDataFeed.status == “CRITICAL”)
Application.application.statusRow.backgroundColor="0xFF0000";
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>[/CODE]
however, I cannot access the property
“backgroundColor” of the gridRow in this way:
[CODE]Application.application.statusRow.backgroundColor[/CODE]
As I get the following error:
[CODE]Severity and Description Path Resource Location

can anyone help / advise me on how I can dynamically change the
colour of my grid row depending on a value coming from my XML
DataProvider????
Thanks,
Jon.

Hi,
a few hours ago I stumbled across this cookbook entry - it
didn't solve MY problem, but maybe it provides a way to solve your
problem?
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/communityengine/index.cfm?event=showdetails&postId=61&product Id=2&loc=en_US
From the article:
quote:
Changing the background color of a DataGrid cell is not as
simple as changing some style because the default renderer for a
DataGrid cell does not have a backgroundColor. Therefore, to do
this simple task, you have to create a custom itemRenderer where
you draw your own background in the updateDisplayList function.

How to preview WWI Label templates?

Dear Experts,
Normally for MSDS templates I know that there is preview option in CG42 transaction by which we can verify the changes that we are making whether they are correct or not however for WWI label templates, I am unable to preview using that option. Any idea how to preview them?
Devdatt

Dear Devdatt
did you use "Label Wizard"? Normally there is no difference in CG42 between "normal" report and label
Which parameter do you populated in CG42? Doe you have maintained data ? The test of label documents in WWI is the most complex one in EHS

JSF Page Fragment based on Oracle Dynamic Tabs Shell Template

Hi
JDeveloper 11.1.1.6
Can we create a JSF Page Fragment (jsff) based on an Oracle Dynamic Tabs Shell Template ?
I tried to create this jsff page and added in a bounded taskflow.
In the create jsff wizard, it will allow us to select the Oracle Dynamic Tabs Shell Template, but when trying to use this taskflow in the another page (jspx), it is giving the following exception.
javax.faces.FacesException: javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Target Unreachable, 'tabContext' returned null
at com.sun.faces.application.ApplicationImpl.createComponent(ApplicationImpl.java:261)
at javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentELTag.createComponent(UIComponentELTag.java:222)
Basically the reason why I am trying to do like this is that I have to simply drop the taskflow in a page as a region.
The ViewController project code will only be created as an ADF Library Jar File and be used in other projects
(it will not be deployed as a web application (war))
More about the requirement:
I have a BPM Application in which I have 2 ADF ViewController projects, one for only BPM Human Task related UI and another for only ADF functionality.
I am writing a custom BPM Workspace kind of ADF Application and want the UI to be based on the Oracle Dynamic Tab Shell Template.
ADF ViewController project is deployed only as a ADF Library Jar file.
Another advantage I can have is I can test my ADF code within JDeveloper.
(If I create a jspx page based Oracle Dynamic Tab Shell Template in the BPM Human Task Related UI project, I will not be able to run it in JDeveloper and test it.
Otherwise I have to deploy to the SOA environment each time I make a change)
Thanks for any help.
Sameer

Hi,
the dynamic tab shell template can only be used with top level (JSPX) pages (in 12c also with Facelet pages). There is no configuration for templates that would make the JDeveloper IDE to not show the template of the selected page is a fragment.

Change Label in Overview

Hey Guys
I have a problem which I hope is peanuts for you.
I have a xml overview and I want to change its label dynamicly.
I tried to put an function instead of the string at the initialization, put that did'nt worked, so I need to chage it at runtime.
My code looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vc:ManagedOverview label="Preferences" allowCallsFrom="[ch.test]"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" type="{Preferable}" types="{[Preferable,Product,Component,Containable,ComponentCategory, ProductCategory]}"
xmlns:vc="ch.marsdencatering.foodcomposer.viewcontrol.*" searchIndex="4"
xmlns:cp="ch.marsdencatering.foodcomposer.view.component.*">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
override public function onViewControlModelChanged(caller:IManagedView):void {
        if (caller is test) {
             searchIndex =caller.currView;
            //Likes
             if(searchIndex == 0){
                    //Change label here to "Likes"
            //Dislikes
            }else if(searchIndex == 1){
                    //Change label here to "Dislikes"
]]>
</mx:Script>
</vc:ManagedOverview>
Is that possible or should I try it on an other way?
thanks for your help!!!

Dynamically changing the report path

Is there any way to dynamically change the path where the reports are saved. Teststand 4.1.1
Message Edited by glennjammin on 04-21-2010 03:30 PM

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes you can run a VI in the ReportOptions Sequence, add it to the Setup of that sequence. If you dont use FileGlobals.Dated anywhere else then use a Local instead. Just remeber FileGlobals are only global to sequences that are contained in a SequenceFile. They are not global across SequenceFile unless you are using the Batch Process Model.
You will probably have to set a number of other parameters up to work with ReportOptions.Directory. The best way to handle this is to setup up you exact conditions statically (ie via the Config | Report Options... menu ). Place a breakpoint in the ReportOptions (use a label if you dont have any steps in the ReportOptions sequence at the moment) and run your Sequence. Remeber to use Test UUTs or Single Pass. You dont have to use your full test sequence just create a simple one step sequence.
When you reach the break point, then you can browse the Parameters.ReportOptions and see what properties are required to ensure your reports are setup correctly.
Hope this helps.

How Can you dynamically change a canvas frame title?

I am looking for a way to dynamically change the title of a frame on a canvas.

Jim,
frames on a canvas are graphic objects that cannot be controlled using properties. To obtain dynamic frame labels, all you can do is to have a Display Item instead of the frame label.

Dynamically changing Layout Managers Constraints

Hi,
Does any one worked on Changing the layout Constraints dynamically before ?, If so Can you explain me your experience and how it can be possible ?
Thanks,
Chekks

There are several ways of doing this, it really depends on your requirements as to which is suitable. (There are probably other ways of doing this as well).
- Try Reports XML Customizations
This is available in 6i and allows you to create a report dynamically on the fly. The template used will also allow you to change the paper size as well. The main limitation is that you are relying only on Reports defaulting to create the layout for you. The advantage is that you can store all your information to create the report in meta-data which can be driven by another tool.
- Use lexical parameters for queries and format triggers
Here, you have a fixed layout but dynamically change the query columns to the correct order. You would normally standardise on a "character" column type in order to do this. Even though the layout is fixed, you can use variable sized fields to push objects around. This can be difficult to setup.
- Use several layouts
You're reducing the options for the user, but you can have several layouts in the same report and turn them on/off. Effectively creating differing views of the same data.
