Dynamically change text field type

Hello all
I have a form which displays a decimal field. However when certain conditions are met, I need to change its type to Text, so the user can enter any alphanumeric character.
How do I achieve that with Javascript code? Is it even possible?

Actually, you can dynamically change a textfield.type. AS2.0
You need two elements.
txt.type = "input";
txt.selectable = true;
However, if you have the textfield in a btn you will need to
delete the onRelease function before you can make the tf function correctly.
btn.onRelease = function()
delete this.onRelease;
this.txt.type = "input";
this.txt.selectable = true;

Changing a field type in OBIEE 11g

Hello. I am new here, and new to OBIEE. I have read some of the tutorials and created a repository, but will not get formal training through Oracle until next week.
I have a simple request from a user that I need to do, and I am not sure how to do it.
Background:
There is a field, COUNTER1, in my physical layer that is Char(9).
In the BMM layer, the field gets counted, so it becomes HEADCOUNT and gets defined as COUNT(COUNTER1), and it is an INT field.
Same in Presentation Layer.
The user wants to be able to see decimals, so I need to change it to a DOUBLE type field.
My Question:
Can I simply change the field type from INT to DOUBLE in the Presentation and/or BMM layers, or is it more involved than that?
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Create new logical column in BMM and in column source tab check the option "Derived from existing columns using an expression" in the expression use below formula
1.0d * COUNTER1 --> It converst to double automatically
where counter1 is count(physical_column) which is int

Changing a fields type after validation

I am having an issue with trying to figure out how to change a fields type (i.e. User Entered - Required) after I validate a test sheet that the user filled out. It is basically an interactive answer sheet that grades itself when the user is finished answering the questions, I just need to know how to make that field read-only after the user has finished the test. Any ideas on how to go about doing this?
Thanks,
Ryan Crocker

No, it would be
GradeTest.access = "open";

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?

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.

Dynamically created text field doesn't appear when imported

Greetings,
I have 2 issues regarding dynamically created text fields.
What I'm trying to do is to create a text field inside a swf file,
then import that swf into another file. The main problem is, the
text field is created and displayed perfectly when i execute the
first swf, but when i try to import the whole thing into another
file, the text is not displayed.
I have to point out that, when I add "stage" before the
addChildAt command, the text appears, but I don't want the
coordinates of the text box depending on it's location on the
stage.
The second problem is, I want the scroll buttons to appear if
the text is longer than the text box, however they appear no matter
what. I trace the values and they are correct, so I can't really
understand why they keep appearing.
Thank you very much for your help.

The same thing is happening to me and it is starting to get annoying. I too am using Chrome and I think that might just be part of the issue. I am running a Macbook Pro 2010 13". Any insight on this would be helpful. Sorry I don't have a solution, but know that your not alone in dealing eith this issue.

Dynamic change of wage type texts on salary slip

Hi Gurus.
Maybe someone can help with a request.
I want to do following.
If someone input a wage type e.g. 6666 in Infotype 0015 I want to open a new input-field.
In this input field the user should enter a text.
In the payroll run I want to change the wage type text on the salary slip for wage type 6666 to the text inputted in the new field.
We are using HRForms (PE51) for the salary slip.
Does anybody have a solution or some tips how I can implement this?
Thanks for your answers.
Regards.
Stefan

Hi,
Do not change the wage types , you have to delimit the wagetypes from a validity date as you have assigned minimum and maximum amounts for your wage types.

How do I set the value of a dynamic row text field

I have a repeated row form which contains a button and multiple text fields. There is a text field (Input Data Field) further up with some information I want to place in the table and multiple buttons that I want to read the value of and set to the table. I apologize there are multiple questions I have and I am using pseudocode to describe it.
Top form looks like
InputField
| ButtonX1 | ButtonY1 | DescriptionX1 (read only Text Field)
| ButtonXn | ButtonY1 | DescriptionXn
OutputRow looks like
| ButtonOutput | OutputField1 | OutputField2 | OutputField3 |
So I would like it to do
ButtonX1.click
OutputTable.OutputRow.addInstance(true) //this works - everything else I have questions on
OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField1.rawValue = DescriptionX1.rawValue
Question 1
How do I address the location in each table to set a value
Question 2
How do I get the value of the description field in the same table and row as the button
I would like to say something to the effect of OutputTable.OutputRow[??].OutputField1.rawValue = this.parent.DescriptionX
OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField2 = InputField.rawValue
Same question as above - how do I specify a dynamic row - is this the proper syntax for getting the value from the input field?
OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField3 = this.ButtonLabel
Question 3
How can I get the value of the button's label to set in the field
There should be very many of these buttons and buttons will be added - I would prefer to set the value based on the button's label to make the value easier - not requiring changing the code
Question 4 - unrelated to those above.
Is it possible to build the first table
| ButtonX | ButtonY | Description |
from an XML File. I have seen examples of how to build if it is just data, but can the XML be pushed into a form with code to do the above actions?

Each object in a form must have a unique name. I doing so it is not neccessarily the name but the path or SomExpression associated with that object that must be unique. In your case you have a Table.Row.object configuration. The Row is the part that is repeating so to give each object a unique name an instance number is placed on the repeating part. So objects in the 1st row woudl be Table.Row[0].object...objects in the second row woudl be Table.Row[1].object etc .....You can see this by adding a debug instruction on the Enter event of the description field. Put the code app.alert(this.somExpression) and when you enter the field you will see what the somExpression is. Do this for a few rows and you will see the pattern (don't forget to remove the debug code from the enter event). Now you know what you have to use to address the fields. If no instance is given it is assumed to be 0 ..that is why only the 1st row is being affected.
So now to answer your questions:
Question1: The square bracket notation is an issue for javascript (this is the notation for an array) so we have to use a different means of addressing the field to include the instance number. So to address the Description in the 3rd row we woudl use:
xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[2].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
Note that the instance number is 2 for the 3rd row because the instance numbers are 0 based.
Question2. The resolveNode notation allows you to pass a string so you can also concatinate expressions to make the string. If you are writing code on a button in the same row you can get the instance that you are on by using the expression this.parent.index. The "this" portion refers to the current object (the button) and the parent.index gets you th eindex of the Buttons parent. If the button is embedded deeper in a hierarchy then you can continue to add parent indicators until you get back to the node that you want. So rewriting your expression from Q1 it woudl be:
xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[" + this.parent.index + "].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
Question3: The buttons caption can be retrieved by using ButtonName.caption.value.text.value
Question4: When you say build from an XML file. What are you expecting to come from the XML file? The caption that goes on the button? Typically the XML file carries data (not to say that it cannot carry other things). Just need a bit of clarification on this one first.
Hope that helps

Safari 5.1.2 keeps changing text field randomly on text input

Hello everybody.
Safari keeps changing the text field on input, do you know how to correct this issue?
Here is an example:
Let's say I load www.google.com, it appears in the safari window as usual.
Suppose I begin to type a search in the google search field at the top right of the safari window (not the one on the google page)
if when doing this the sentence is long for the search, at some point randomly, the rest of the text will be entered this time in the google search text field on the google page! (which is the very next text field) So when I hit enter it makes google search half of my request...
Safari changed the text field I was into with no warning. I want to say I do not press tab at any moment.
This is annoying really, and this does not appear anywhere else than in Safari. It seems the issue is not systematic, but appears quite often.
I have no universal access setting except "enable access for assistive device"
I had to check this box upon installing a software in the past but I can't remember what it was.
Perhaps the problem I have is linked to some window refreshing?
Thank you for your suggestions or help
Mac Pro, 10.6.8

Try deleting the cache associated with Safari ...
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db.
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test.

Using external XML document to update / change text fields inside of published captivate output.

Hello
I currently have a project where the client has requested to have the ability to update the text fields inside the project at a later date.
This is due to the nature of the content changing rather rapidly, i would like to set this up so the client can manage this them selfs.
What would the best way to do this be?
I'm thinking XML, an external XML sheet were by Captivate imports the text from this XML sheet and then displays it within the specific text fields contained within the captivate output.
This way the client would just update the external XML document(cut and paste the text in) and then the text would be dynamically updated in the published Captivate document.
any help would be amazing !
Thanks in advance
Nick

Hi Lieve
But isn't this thread more about an end user having an ability to change text after the Captivate has been published and delivered? I could see where that might be useful if making changes then publishing to create a new output. But I'm interpreting that the situation here is that a Captivate project has been published and delivered, and some mechanism is desired that allows the recipient to modify an external XML file to influence changes in the already compiled Captivate output.
Cheers... Rick

Dynamic table with field type table

I´m using "cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table" to create a dynamic table for ALV Grid.
But...I need to use colors in ALV, then I need to declare a field type LVC_S_SCOL in dynamic table from "cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table".

Cfpdfform (CF8) changes text-field font of an adobe 9 pdf form to Courier

I'm having problems getting cfpdfform to render the text-field font as it exists in the source pdf form.
The source pdf form was created in Acrobat 9 Standard.
When I download the pdf from the server using cfcontent, the text-fields look as expected, retaining their designated font (and the pdf has the desired fonts embedded).
However, when I do a cfpdfform action="populate", the text-field font is switched with Courier (even though the desired fonts remain embedded).
This happens regardless of what font I pick.
I have verified that the font exists on the server and in cf admin.
Here's my code:

<cfpdfform action="populate"
           source="#pdfPathFile#"
           destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
           overwrite = "yes">
    <cfpdfformparam name="student_name" value="first name and last name" />
    <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_title" value="a cool certificate title" />
    <cfpdfformparam name="certificate_date" value="1/1/2010" />
</cfpdfform>

<cfpdf action = "write"
       destination = "#pdfPathFile#"
       source = "#pdfPathFile#"
       flatten = "yes"
       overwrite = "yes" />

<cfcontent
    file = "#pdfPathFile#"
    deleteFile = "yes"
    reset = "yes"
    type = "application/pdf" />
Commenting out the cfpdf action = "write" block produced the same outcome.
Using different source and destination filenames (vs overwriting existing one) didn't make a difference, either.
Any ideas on how I can get cfpdfform to respect my predefined text-field fonts?
I truly appreciate your time.

The problem was resolved.
Turned out to be the way the pdf was created by Adobe 9 Standard that made cfpdfform misbehave.
Three things we did seemed to have made the pdf acceptable by cfpdfform:
1. Downloaded the latest updates for Adobe 9 Standard
2. Checked on the text-field "Multi-line" property
3. Checked off the text-field "Rich Text Formatting" property
Cheers.

Dynamic Forms - text fields

Hi, I am currently using LiveCycle Designer 8.0. I am having major problems getting my text field boxes to expand dynamically on the page and over to the next page to accommodate large amounts of text. I have employed the 'allow multiple lines' and 'expand box' but to no avail. I think it is a 'subform' related problem. Appreciate any help out there.
Regards

Hi,
Have you saved the form as a "dynamic XML form" in LC Designer?
While you can set the object to multiple lines etc., it won't work if the form is saved as "static".
Good luck,
Niall

Dynamically changing column display type

Hi,
I have a report that gets generated every day with different column names. The report contains a decode statement that uses a row value to return using pictures. The problem I am running into is the column is being displayed as text and the value of the row is showing up as some html text instead of the picture. The default Column report in APEX 4.1 is for the report to be displayed as "Display as Text". I know the APEX team did this for security reasons. Is there any other way to display the column as "Standard Report Column".
I want the report to be displayed as a "Standard Report Column" instead of me going in and changing it manually to "Standard Report Column".
Any help in the right direction is appreciated.
-Abe

I have been trying to find the same solution... the ability to either default all my columns to "Standard Report Column" instead of "Display as Text" or to dynamically change them from code. Or it would even be great if the "Display As" value on report columns (both Classic Reports and Interactive, mine is Classic) was a column in the "Column Attributes" table on the "Report Attributes" page so that I could just change them all and hit "Apply" from that one page instead of having to go into each column's properties individually. (It's time consuming and tedious and easy to miss columns because I can't tell what I've changed.)
If anyone has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them...
