Enhancement Request: Create linked buttons

If multiple buttons on the page do the same thing, there should be a way to create 1 button and have it rendered in all those positions.
Sort of like how the 'Top and Bottom of region' buttons works.
Yes, I can copy buttons easily but then they become independent entities and changes need to be made to both of them separately.
Thanks

FWIW, I solved this issue in my application by assigning a hot key to the button so for example I can press ALT-A to apply without having to scroll back up to the top of the page to press the button. The standard HTML ACCESSKEY attribute allows you to assign a hotkey to a button. Following Windows conventions, I also display the button label as "Apply" to indicate it is a hot key.

How create Linked Button on StaticText? Important!

Hallo

Re: Add linked button to a editText field

SAP often use hacks to make their linkedButtons, and this is one of them...
Normally Linked buttons only support EditText and Comboboxes...
A workaround I'll would guess would be to:
1 - Add the staticText
2 - Add a hidden editText
3 - Link a linkbutton to the hidden edittext, and make it of type ln_None
4 - Add a value to the hidden edit text (Else the linkedbutton will not be shown)
5 - Catch the event of press of the linkedbutton (ItemPressed), and do a manual opening of what you might need to open.
Haven't had time to test this, but guess it will work..
An other and more pretty option would be to use a disabled editText...

Enhancement request : Create object based upon existing

It would be useful to be able to create a new object based upon the definition of an existing one (e.g. a GUI version of CTAS).
(for those browsing the forums who haven't come accross the acronym before, CTAS = "Create table as select")

Hmmm .... ok, you got me !
But, I would say .... can we have a tickbox there for "metadata only" i.e. CTAS table with no data.

Enhancement request: Bulk edit features

As much as I love Apex and think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread (what's so great about sliced bread anyway!), after one gains a certain amount of proficiency with using the tool, one realizes that there are many areas where the Builder application simply gets in your way. You know exactly what you want to do, you know how to do it, but the Apex Builder doesn't support a "do this 20 times" feature!
For instance
1. Deleting multiple pages - This came up on another thread recently. The Builder makes you click 2 buttons (Delete and Confirm) to delete a page and then takes you to page 0 (or the previous page or something) and then you need to go back to the next page and repeat the process.
There should be a "delete multiple pages" feature in the Builder
2. Creating a list - I have a bunch of links/URLs that I would like to create a list from. The Builder interface (tabular form) has us add each list entry at a time.
I would prefer that it has a honking big textarea where I could dump all the links at once and it creates all the list entries at once. I could always go and tweak individual entries if I like.
Same thing for adding to other Shared components like LOVs, breadcrumbs, tabs, etc. I am not saying a textarea-based interface would work for everything, but anything has to be better than doing it one by one.
3. Access to the Report Column Attributes page - This is too painful to access.
Click on Edit page, click on Report, click on the column you want. 3 clicks!
Instead, there should be a Quick Edit link next to each report column when the page is run that pops up the same page.
4. Attaching a authorization scheme (or condition or build option or any applicable thing really) to a bunch of components at once.
The Builder should have a nifty search page where we could search/filter (by name, component type, page#, etc) for the components we want and then allow us to apply a an "action" (i.e. auth. scheme) to all the selected components at once. Doing this one by one is error-prone, time-consuming and just plain boring!
That's all that comes to mind at this time, I am sure others will have more.
Thanks

Mike: Thanks for responding.
1. You misunderstand what I wrote about report columns. Marc Sewtz understood what I meant at Re: Enhancement request: Quick edit links for column attributes
is very easy to bulk change (on the back end); the hard part is devising the proper screens for bulk change (font end)
2. Absolutely, agree 100%. Which is why it might make sense for Oracle to expose metadata manipulation APIs (apex_metadata package similar to dbms_metadata!) so that power users can effect changes to the application metadata without going through the Builder at all!
We talked about this at Bulk edit items
Many of the application reports allow for bulk change operations
Right, but realistically speaking, you can never anticipate and build screens for all the things we would like to do. Which is why a command-line API would be invaluable.
Just recently, I needed to change a bunch of HTML regions' templates in a application from Report Region to Hide/Show template. I couldn't find an application report/bulk edit page that let me do this, it was quite painful to do in the Builder.
Another case in point: I used the "Form on SQL Query" wizard to quickly create a form page with a bunch of fields. But unfortunately, unlike the "Form on Table wizard", this wizard is not smart enough to create page items with a display-as depending on the datatype of the columns in the query. It creates all the form items as Text Fields. :-( There is no bulk-edit page (that I could find) that lets me change the display-as property for multiple items.
If you or others have UI sugestions
3. As you may know, whenever I think of something that the Apex product could benefit from (an enhancement request IMHO), I post a thread on the forum with a subject line that clearly indicates as such.
To summarize, here they are:

How to add a link button in system form?

how to add a link button in system form in the edit text?

HI
see the following code
This creates an item "55" caption, and exittext ("550") and creates linked button "51" linked to "550"

Linked Button To SalesOrder, Error No Matching Record ODBC 2028

Hello,
I've added a LinkedButton to a Matrix Cell.
This is ok.
But the LinkedButton only works correct with the DocEntry
Number of SalesOrder ,not with desired DocumentNumber.
For Example, SalesOrder Document
DocEntry = 310
DocumentNumber = 400073
Entering 310 to matrix cell and clicking the
LinkedButton, the SalesOrder with DocumentNumber
400073 will be loaded.
Entering 400073 to matrix cell and clicking the
LinkedButton, error ODBC 2028 occurs.
Has someone an idea, how to link that
button properly to the DocumentNumber??
The source
'adding column
Set sbo_cOlumn = sbo_Matrix.Columns.Add
                    (UID:="1",Type:=it_LINKED_BUTTON)
'adding UserDataSource
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add UID:="1",
                      DataType:=dt_LONG_NUMBER
'bind column to UserDataSource
sbo_cOlumn.DataBind.SetBound
                  Bound:=True, TableName:="", Alias:="1"
' create linked Button
Set sbo_LinkedButton = sbo_cOlumn.ExtendedObject
sbo_LinkedButton.LinkedObject = lf_Order
Regards
Thomas

Hi,
I have the same problem with linking to Sales Order.
Sugesstion to use DocEntry instead of DocNum is correct only partially and it looks user-unfriendly even if you hide DocEntry value and have DocNum in the next column.
If you open "Inventory/Pick and Pack/Pick List" and select any pick, you can see a standard link to SO's DocNum, not to a DocEntry
Can please anybody explain how it is done?
Thank you
Natalya

Rollover link buttons

Hey guys,
I was wondering wether there was a way to create rollover
link graphics the same way as text links ie.
link/active/hover/visited. I want to create link buttons with
graphics and need the different 'rollover' states (but dont want to
use Flash) as I want pure HTML/CSS - is there a way round to do it
or should I stick to good old fashioned text links, which I'm
trying not to? Many thanks.

Make the graphics the background image for the <a>
tags, and use the hover
pseudo-class to do the rollover to a new background image.
You can see that in the menu here -

URGENT! Help with creating more than one linked button

Hi!
Could someone help a newbie with trying to figure out this.
I work in Flash CS3, AS3.
I've created a button that links to another webpage by using this code (the code is added to a separate layer):
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
steud.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.xx.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
It works just fine, but the problem is that I want to add more buttons (and links) to it, and thats where I get stuck. When I try just adding a new layer and adding the code there, everything stops working. I've also tried copy/pasting the code beneath the first one, with no results.
Does anyone know?
/J

I will try
I've modified this tutorial http://www.tutcity.com/view/create-a-sliding-content-with-back-and-forward-navigation.2394 7.html and the intent is to make a sliding menue that contains images of plants that link to the url of the plant. I've got buttons (with a mouse over effect that shows the name of the plant), and in AS2 I could use GetURL to link an invisible button to the URL, but to create the sliding effect, I had to use AS3. I've understood that GetURL doesn't work in AS3.
In scene 1 I have three layers; content, arrows and actions.
The actionscript looks like this:
// File downloaded from www.riacodes.com
import com.greensock.*;
var arrayX :Array = [0,-800,-1600,-2400,-3200,-4000,-4800];
var currentIndex : Number = 0;
left_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate);
right_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,navigate);
left_mc.buttonMode = true;
right_mc.buttonMode = true;
checkArrows();
function navigate(e:MouseEvent):void{
if(e.currentTarget == left_mc) currentIndex --;
else currentIndex ++;
checkArrows();
TweenLite.to(content_mc,.5 ,{x:arrayX[currentIndex]});
function checkArrows():void{
if(currentIndex == 0) left_mc.visible = false;
else if (currentIndex == arrayX.length - 1) right_mc.visible = false;
else{
left_mc.visible = true;
right_mc.visible= true;
On the content layer I have the backgroundimages that slides as a movieclip.
If I doubleclick on the movieclip I have two layers, one with the bakground images and the invisible buttons, and one layer where I've put the script:
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
JC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMouseClick);
function onMouseClick(e:MouseEvent):void
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blomsterbolaget.se/vaxtsidor/Dracaena_fragrans_JC.html");
navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
JC is the instance name of one of my buttons. So far everything works, but I want to add linking to another button, and I'm not sure how to do this correctly. When I've created the invisible buttons, I've drawn a square, converted it to a button, named it, and named the instance name. Changed the Alpha to 0. I've also added an On mouse over effect, but I don't think that has anything to do with this.
Hope you can help med!

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?

Is there a way to create a button that links to a website?
I was reading up that it's possible to this with menus, and tracks but can you do it with a button and how?
I am hoping to create a button that people viewing my discs on a computer can click on the link and their web browser will pop up and take them to a website.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

dvd@ccess questions are being asked once a week on this forum, so I'll repeat why it's useless:
- Mac users have to enable the feature in the preferences of DVD Player in order to for the links to work.
- PC users have to install a small application on their PC, and they have to reboot the PC in order for the links to work.
- On top of this, it's still unreliable, and may not work on some computers.
It's a dog: Don't use it.

How to create text buttons that link to video?

I've finally gotten around to trying DVD SP, and even though I read the whole manual, it's not at all clear if, or how, you can create text buttons that link to the video you want to play, without displaying a clip of that video in the button itself.
I have no problem creating a text button, but I can't change the font, and editing is counter-intuitive, unlike iDVD. I'd use iDVD, but it doesn't accept .m2v files, and it seems to think that my 6 videos of about 43 minutes each are too large for a DVD+DL disc, so it won't let me burn it or save it as a disc image.
Does anyone have a way out of this conundrum, or am I SOL?
Mulder

It really isn't that hard!
As Drew said, go into your menu and click and drag to create a button rectangle. With the button highlighted, look in the property inspector at the bottom and type in the text that you want to use. Ensure that you 'include in button highlight' and then set the colour choice for selected and activated.
What you get is a simple line of text which illuminates when you roll over it, and changes colour when you click on it.
Once that is done, click on the button area again and set the target to go to the piece of video that you want to have play back.
You should also set the menu call and end jump on that track to make sure your viewer can get back to the menu.
Once that is done the menu will show as a simple piece of text (more buttons means more bits of text, and the first button will be highlighted by default) and no video will play until the button is activated.
DVDSP is definitely a steeper learning curve than iDVD but for very good reasons. You get far greater control and access to far more advanced features in DVDSP. This means that some things will seem harder, whereas in fact they are just different and the process for achieving the result you want is different. Much of what you want to know is in the manual and also in the tutorials which came with the app. Failing that there are several good online spaces where you can find a lot more information... not least of which is right here, of course!

Can i create a button that links to the slideshow widget

I am creating a portfolio site for a class. It is a one page site, One of my sections is going to be my "work" section. I want to categorize my work, So I have made buttons that pertain to each category of work. Is there anyway that I can link this to the slideshow widget. When one of the category buttons is clicked I want the slideshow widget to pop up. Is this possible? I can not find a tutorial and I am very new to Muse. Thank you!

Hi,
You can't directly associate a button with a slideshow. However, you can embed slideshow in a tooptip target and add the button to the tooltip trigger as mentioned in this post : Re: How do i create a button which will show new content on same page?

Create a button to link to a pdf

I created a button to link to a pdf but i cant get it to pull up when i click the button. Ive tried editing the index.asp file where the button resides but im having no luck. Can anyone help me?

I infer that you are speaking of a form element button. You need not use a form to do this, just a hyperlink applied to the image of a button.
I am unfamiliar with asp, but in straight html, all you need is an a tag wrapped around the 'button':
<a href="[path to pdf]">button image</a>

I need to create a button that links to another swf file...

i'm creating my first website, and, for each menu item, i am
creating a new flash document... is this the correct way to create
a multi-page website?
plus: how to create a button that links to a jpg, thanks!
jane

Creating separate swf's these days as far as I know is
considered to be a better practice than using the "scenes" that are
in Flash. The reason is you can load various sections of your
entire Flash entity rather than the user downloading everything at
once.
But, it also depends on the complexity of where your menu
items are leading. If they are simple enough, then there may be no
need to create new documents.
To create a button that links to a jpeg, try this.
Whatever graphic you're using for the button, select it and
hit F8 to convert it to a movie clip. Once it's in your library,
click on your new movie clip on the stage and give it an instance
name in the properties window.
Click the first frame in your timeline (preferably on a layer
named "actions") and put this example in for the actionscript:
//buttonName is the instance name you gave it
//.onPress tells Flash when buttonName is pressed then do
what's
//inside the brackets of the function
buttonName.onPress = function (){
//getURL is the Flash function that will load your
picture.jpg
//_blank is the target. e.g. _blank, _self etc.
getURL("picture.jpg", "_blank");
}

Page Component View - Enhancement Request

Minor enhancement request:
Add a link directly to the Javascript section of the Page attributes, similar to HTML Header, Template etc.
This would also have the benefit of being able to determine if functions were declared in this section w/out having to drill into the page.
Thanks!

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2013/3/30/creating-a-power-view-report-in-excel-2013-which-uses-an-ext.html
Hope this helps.
