Focus on parameter

I use built-in parameters ASP.NET prompt. Is it possible to set focus on first parameter (e.g. text box) if prompt web page appears ?
Thanks.

I would recommend to post your question in the CR .NET programming forum and close the current thread:

Parameter form focus

Hi there,
Application Server Forms and Reports 10.1.2.3
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
Forms Applet version is : 10.1.2.3
Java Plug-in 1.6.0_18
Using JRE version 1.6.0_18-b07 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
After migrating to forms 10g when the parameter form is displayed to users in a browser the focus is not in the text box like it was in the 6i client.
Is there any way to have the focus so the user doesn't have to click the mouse in the text box?
Thanks,
faoilean.

Anyone have ideas as to how I might do this as of yet I cannot find a solution.
Thanks

How to add landing page s-parameter to a form submission?

Hi,
Really hoping somebody can help me. This is something I have seen used in many of my previouse roles and I would like to introduce it to my current position but am a bit lost. We develop our website inhouse and are currently in the process of migrating it to Dreamweaver CSS, which I am unfamiliar with.
What I want to do is introduce a tracking code that allows me to see excatly where the original click came from on all Email submissions (conversions).
What i would like to happen is, when a lead form from our website is submitted there is a hidden default field that comes through to us on the Email submission. That field should (if all goes to plan) pull the S parameter from the URL of the landing page. This S parameter is a code that I have generated and placed in the destination URL of all PPC ads and campaigns (as below)
I believe I have the correct piece of script , I’m just not sure how to place it and what I need to amend within it .
    <form action="jspostto.htm" method="get">
        <input type="hidden" id="hiddenParameterValue" name="hiddenParameterValue" />
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
    blah<br />
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        document.getElementById("hiddenParameterValue").value = getParam("f");
    </script>
An example of the kind or code I am putting in is www.sapphiresystems.com/uk/sunsystems/index.htm?s=GUKAOOH02&K={keyword} in the destination URLs of PPC campaigns and Facebook links to the website as such www.sapphiresystems.com/sapb1/index.htm?s=FBSAPBOX.
Really appreciate any help or insight you can offer,
Many thanks
Kiti

Hi Both,
Apologies, yes we are on PHP,
This is what is really throwing me off .... i don't know what WEBBOT is? I have posted everything that was between form tags, just incase i let anything important out.
Again really appreciate all the help and advice,
Thanks , Kiti

SSRS Designer - XML Datasource - Parameter passing XML gets encoded, causes error on WS Request

Hello,
I am attempting to query a List from SharePoint using the XML Datasource. I am forced to use this datasource as our infrastructure team will not be upgrading our SSRS 2008 farm to SSRS 2008 R2 anytime soon. 2008 R2 has Native SharePoint
List Datasources ( which works great FYI ). I already completed the report using the Native SP List DS, only to find out that my timing was not so great as 2008 R2 was not in production yet... /sigh, communication... anyways...
I have successfully queried the List using the XML Datasource. It is only when I try to use the CAML query in the query parameter that it fails. So, here is my Query:
<Query>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="listName">
<DefaultValue>{DD3DE881-1F9D-4016-AD73-F7E1D9340880}</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="query">
<DefaultValue>
<Query>
<Where>
<Gt>
<FieldRef Name="Modified" />
<Value Type="DateTime">2011-03-01</Value>
</Gt>
</Where>
</Query>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="True">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
I will be replacing that hard date with something like =DateAdd("d",-7,Now()) later, but focusing on the task at hand...
Here is the error ( trimmed so you don't need to read the whole stack ):
<soap:Body>
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.</faultstring>
<detail>
<errorstring xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">Element <Query> of parameter query is missing or invalid.</errorstring>
<errorcode xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">0x82000000</errorcode>
</detail>
</soap:Fault>
</soap:Body>
The key to that error is: Element <Query> of parameter query is missing or invalid.
So I see that it is being encoded, so I decided to capture the actual Webservice request with Fiddler:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<query>
<Query>
<Where>
<Gt>
<FieldRef Name="Modified" />
<Value Type="DateTime">2011-03-01</Value>
</Gt>
</Where>
</Query>
</query>
<listName>{DD3DE881-1F9D-4016-AD73-F7E1D9340880}</listName>
</GetListItems>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
So now that we know that somehow the XML parameter of "query" is being encoded. How do I tell the SSRS designer that for this XML datasource's dataset query, I do not wish to encode that parameter? I have searched all day today and came up with
very little. I found a few posts with a simliar question, but no solution was ever mentioned.
The closest to a likely solution was this Post :
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/8a9ba2fc-26cd-423e-bbbf-a16b5c9722f5/
in particular this phrase interested me:
"Query parameters of type Msxml2.DOMDocument30 are passed as XML. Parameters of type String which happen to contain XML are passed as strings and are XML encoded in the SOAP message. The function CXml(String) converts a string
into an Msxml2.DOMDocument30 and can be used in query parameter expressions."
Similar to the poster of that question, I also cannot find a way to define the parameter as an XML type or the use of this mysterious CXML() function in the expression builder...
I'm looking for a Microsoft resource to tell me whats going on here, but if anyone else has a workaround or an idea, I would be happy to try it out.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for your question, from your statement, it seems that you want to give a default value for the parameter named query, right? If so I would recommend you achieve this requirement in report level, please follow these:
1. Create a parameter named Date, select Date/Time as data type.
2. Move to Default values tab, then click Add button ->type in =DateAdd("d",-7,Now()) as defult value's expression.
3. Right-cilck the dataset, and then select DataSet properties.
4. Move to Filters tab, click add button to add a filter.
5. In the drop-down list of Expression, select Modified datefield with Date/Time datatype.
6. Type in =Parameters!Date.Value in value's textbox.

Focus on JOptionPane

I have a problem.
If I want to change something within a table, a JOptionPane opens, in which i can enter some values.
But if I switch to another program over the task bar while the JOptionPane is still open, and I return to my Java program over the task bar, the main window has the focus and the JOptionPane is hidden. During this, the user has no posibillity to close the program. The only possibility to get the JOptionPane back is by ALT+TAB!
Is it possible, that the JOptionPane will over the task bar?

Just to easy, that it is really embarassing:

SSAS report action to pass multi-value list of dimention key values to a SSRS report parameter

This was originally posted on StackOverflow and suggested I try here as well.
I want to create a report action in an SSAS OLAP cube that generates a list of formatted values to pass into an SSRS report parameter that accepts a multi-valued parameter list. This would be applied at the
cell level in the SSAS action. I have found a solution that gets me most of the way:
How to Pass Multiple Values from an SSAS Report Drill Through Action to an SSRS Multi-Value Parameter, but not quite. The action does appear in Excel and works
if I run the action from a cell that is at or below the dimension attribute I am generating the list for, in this case,
Account Key.
Below is a link to a screen capture (unable to embed it due to lack of reputation) showing the action and dimension structure in Excel. The action works as long as I run it at the
Account Key level or below. I want to be able to run it at higher levels, such as
Account Major and still have it generate all then related Account Key values for the SSRS report parameter. Running it at the higher
Account Major level does not trigger the report to run.
Excel Action Screen Shot:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/QCGSp.png
Below is the MDX I am using to generate the value for the report parameter:
UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
DESCENDANTS(
[Account].[Account Key].CurrentMember,
[Account].[Account Key].[Account Key]
[Account].[Account Key].CURRENTMEMBER.Name,
"&rp:Account="
I am hoping that I can somehow modify the MDX above to make it return all the
Account Keys for any attribute of the Account dimension when ran from any measure cell, not just when ran at self and children of
Account Key in the pivot table.
Also, if it helps, I can execute the following MDX query on the cube and get the results I am looking for.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Account Key List] as
GENERATE(
DESCENDANTS([Account].[Account].CurrentMember, [Account].[Account].[Account]),
[Account].[Account].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME,
"&rp:Account=")
SELECT {[Measures].[Account Key List]} on 0,
([Account].[Account Company Number].[Account Company Number],[Account].[Account Major].[Account Major]
) on 1
FROM [Company 10 Action Demo]
Below are partial results:
10.116&rp:Account=10.116.010
10.117&rp:Account=10.117.010&rp:Account=10.117.020
10.120&rp:Account=10.120.005&rp:Account=10.120.006&rp:Account=10.120.010&rp:Account=10.120.020&rp:Account=10.120.030&rp:Account=10.120.040&rp:Account=10.120.050&rp:Account=10.120.060&rp:Account=10.120.380&rp:Account=10.120.999
10.123
Questions
Any ideas what I might need to do to get Account Key to be returned for any attribute of the
Account dimension?
Would I possibly have to alter my Account dimension in the cube to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1 - Adventure Works Cube Version
I was unable to get the suggested answer with the "Exists" function to work. To better demonstrate this issue, I have recreated it using the Adventure Works Cube.
I will focus on the Customer dimension, specifically the Customer and
Education attributes. I created a report action called Test Report Action. Below is the XML created for it in the cube.
<Action xsi:type="ReportAction" dwd:design-time-name="f35ad5ee-5167-4fb8-a0e0-0a74cc6e81c6">
<ID>Report Action 1</ID>
<Name>Test Report Action</Name>
<TargetType>Cells</TargetType>
<Target></Target>
<Type>Report</Type>
<ReportServer>SQLSERVER</ReportServer>
<Path>ReportServer?/Test Report</Path>
<ReportParameters>
<ReportParameter>
<Name>Test Customer Existing</Name>
<Value>UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
EXISTING DESCENDANTS(
[Customer].[Customer].CurrentMember,
[Customer].[Customer].[Customer]
[Customer].[Customer].CURRENTMEMBER.Name,
"&rp:Customer="
)</Value>
</ReportParameter>
</ReportParameters>
<ReportFormatParameters>
<ReportFormatParameter>
<Name>rs:Command</Name>
<Value>Render</Value>
</ReportFormatParameter>
<ReportFormatParameter>
<Name>rs:Renderer</Name>
<Value>HTML5</Value>
</ReportFormatParameter>
</ReportFormatParameters>
</Action>
Below are the steps to re-create the issue.
Connect to the cube in Excel
Add dimension Customer -> More Fields -> Customer
Add measure Internet Sales -> Internet Sales Amount
Right-click Internet Sales Amount cell, select "Additional Actions" -> "Test Report Action" and see customer values created for URL
When the action is ran at this point with Customer, I see the values created in the URL shown message box (since there is no SSRS report server at location specified).
Now the part I'm unable to resolve
Remove the Customer dimension and add Customer -> Demographic -> Education
Right-click Internet Sales Amount cell, select "Additional Actions" -> "Test Report Action"
Nothing happens. If I ran the action on the cell next to "Bachelors", I would want it to build up all the list of all the "Customers" that make up the "Bachelors" in the
Customer dimension as part of the report parameter. If no attributes where used in the cube from the
Customer dimension for that cell, then I would like it to return "All Customers", or something similar to show that all customers are included in the aggregations.
I am not too MDX savvy, thus far. I think I need to somehow join the
Customers to Internet Sales Amount in the Generate function portion. I have tried several different combinations of the
Customer dimension and Internet Sales Amount, along with various functions to see if I could get this to work with no success. I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable the me will have a solution. If you need more details,
please ask and I will provide them.

Simon,
Thanks for you help with this. This morning I found a workaround. Below describes what that is.
What I ended up doing was getting a list of values from a degenerate dimension that I could use to pass to SSRS to get a list of transactions for a report. Below is how I did this, in relation to the Adventure Works cube using the degenerate dimension
Internet Order Details.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Order Param List] AS
GENERATE(
EXISTS([Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].[Sales Order Number].Members, ,
"Internet Sales"),
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].CurrentMember.Name,
"&rp:OrderNum=")
SELECT {[Measures].[Order Param List], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON 0
,([Date].[Calendar].[Date]) ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
This will get a list of Sales Order Number in a text string, separated by "&rp:OrderNum=" for each measure of
Internet Sales. This would allow me to create an SSRS report to bring back detail information for each
Sales Order Number. Below are some sample results.
May 16, 2007 SO50493&rp:OrderNum=SO50494&rp:OrderNum=SO50495&rp:OrderNum=SO50496&rp:OrderNum=SO50497&rp:OrderNum=SO50498&rp:OrderNum=SO50499&rp:OrderNum=SO50500 $12,157.80
May 17, 2007 SO50501&rp:OrderNum=SO50502&rp:OrderNum=SO50503&rp:OrderNum=SO50504&rp:OrderNum=SO50505&rp:OrderNum=SO50506&rp:OrderNum=SO50507&rp:OrderNum=SO50508 $13,231.62
May 18, 2007 SO50509&rp:OrderNum=SO50510 $4,624.91
With this, I can then create a Report Action in SSRS with a Parameter Value of
UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
EXISTS([Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].[Sales Order Number].Members, ,
"Internet Sales"),
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].CurrentMember.Name,
"&rp:OrderNum=")
The way I was going about it before was flawed, as I was trying to get a list of the granular values from each dimension used to build the measure value and pass each one of those as separate parameters. I just needed to set something unique for each fact
measure transaction that represents the value and uses that in a query parameter for the SSRS report.

How to get a parameter without name in JSP?

hi everyone, My question is how to get a parameter without name in JSP? I have two pages, 1.html and 2.jsp.
in 1.html, I embeds some Javascript codes in HTML contents like below ( changed < to ( , > to )):
function toSubWin( obj )
window.open('test.jsp?'+obj.firstChild.toString(),'sw');
(a onClick='toSubWin(this)'style="background:green")focus(/a)
How can I get the parameter in 2.jsp?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

Does obj.firstChild.toString() evaluate to a "name=value" type of String ?
Or better what does obj.firstChild.toString(),'sw' evaluate to ? It has to end up in a name=value format, else its just gibberish appended to the url.
In the jsp, you have to obviously know the name to get the parameter. There's a getParameterNames() method which returns you a Collection of parameter names as Strings, you could probably use that to retrieve the param values.
Then there's a getParameterMap() method which returns an immutable Map containing parameter names as keys and parameter values as map values. The keys in the parameter map are of type String. The values in the parameter map are of type String array.
However to what ends you employ them in a program which doesnt know its inputs is a different story.
cheers,
ram.

How do i stop the search tab from changing other tabs other than just the one with focus?

everytime i use the search bar located next to the web address, it will change other tabs to the results of my search and not just my tab of focus. how do i stop this? it's never done this before and has only started doing it this week.

Hello and thanks everyone for your replies. I was able to get it working using the Optimizer method. I'll look into setting it in the Distiller though. We'll also make sure everyone that modifies the pdf's have a more recent version of Acrobat because the older versions are giving a "bad parameter" error message. This solves that but better to upgrade.
I'm converting from Word to pdf and the security gets set on the pdf because that is the files we use externally. I just don't want anyone changing the content; we figured the pdf is a bit more secure than the MS Word security!
Thanks again!

ADF Task Flow Binding - Refresh ifNeeded being invoked even WITHOUT any Parameter change

Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
Issue: Task Flow Binding property "refresh = ifNeeded" seems to be triggered even without the mutation of the input parameter.
As per definition, "ifNeeded: refresh the ADF Region if the value of a task flow binding parameter changes." (Reference: 17.5 Refreshing an ADF Region)
Now for the setup which reproduces the issue.
I'll focus at the fragment bounded task flow level and will skip the jspx side.
taskflow: main-flow.xml
contains a single fragment mainFgmt.jsff
has a managed bean defined SampleBean.java as pageFlow scope.
taskflow: sub-flow.xml
contains a single fragment subFgmt.jsff
has an inputParameter SampleBean.java (because it is an input parameter, by default it will be at pageFlow scope)
!important - has a nested taskflow (task flow call as defined in the component pallete) called inner-flow (see below)
the nested taskflow is the default activity
the nested taskflow has an outcome pointing to subFgmt where outcome = "return"
taskflow: inner-flow.xml
contains a single fragment called stop.jsff
has a return activity without outcome = "return"
stop.jsff has a navigation pointing to the outcome.
Finally mainFgmt.jsff has a task flow binding (pageDef)
with id = "sub-flow.xml"
refresh = "ifNeeded"
parameter SampleBean being submitted as sub-flow's input parameter. (id=sampleBean, value=#{pageFlowScope.mainSampleBean})
Assume that code compiles.
In this scenario where the only tricky condition is the inner nesting (defined by !important), when the inner nesting decides to invoke its outcome to visit sub-flow's fragment, mainFgmt is restarting its taskflow which makes sub-flow start over again.
Another way of saying it is, if sub-flow starts a nested activity and that nested activity exits out to utilize sub-flow's view. The high level definition which is mainFgmt's refresh ifNeeded is restarting sub-flow.
In the above example if you notice, the bean (SampleBean) is not really being utilized except that it is completing the purpose of refresh=ifNeeded. This scenario is only to simplify the setup - in practical use this bean will be mutated to be utilized as a refresh mechanism.
Now interestingly, if I change the pattern a bit then the issue will not happen:
Don't use the nested taskflow (inner-flow) as the default activity, let a fragment of sub-flow hold the initial view.
Navigate to the nested flow.
Exit nested flow.
Everything works.
Now in this scenario, it seems like the sub-flow needs to have a view established first for it to be properly be used.
So my questions are as follows:
Can I consider the behavior of the refresh=ifNeeded as a bug in this usecase?
Would it be better to utilize a different way of refreshing (maybe combination of refresh condition) to get around the issue?
Is the use of the task flow as defined logical or does it cross any boundary or best practice that might be causing this behavior?

Hi,
actually you lost me in your description due to complexity. I lived under assumption that sub-flow already is a region on a view in main flow, but then you sad that
"!important - has a nested taskflow (task flow call as defined in the component pallete) called inner-flow (see below)"
which then confused me as to I have no idea if inner flow now is the second level nesting or first level nesting (should be second level nesting). If sub-flow is a region then having "has an inputParameter SampleBean.java (because it is an input parameter, by default it will be at pageFlow scope)" is an unnecessary broad scope because the region wont live longer than view scope.
Anyway, it seems that a region refresh is triggered by the lifecycle involved, which can be by design or a bug. I suggest you file a Service Request with support and provide a test case as purely from the description, its hard to parse and understand what is going on.

Buttons in ALV Grid cell need focus to be clicked :-(

Hi,
I have an ALV Grid with single cells displayed as buttons (dependend on the data in the corresponding row). Unfortunatelly the button-cells need focus to be clicked. So you need two clicks: one to get the focus to the desired cell and one to really click the button.
Any ideas how to make this work with one single click ? (Setting a hotspot does not work, cause hotspots have the same problem.)
Regards,
Tobi

Hello Tobias
The proposal by Naimesh is valid for CL_GUI_ALV_GRID, too. You may have a look at sample report ZUS_SDN_ALVGRID_EVENTS_HOTSPOT. Put the focus on any non-button cell and next click on any customer button.

Lose of focus (mouse click/enter key)

Hello,
we have a problem customers are complaining about for quite a while now, but despite our efforts, we can not fix it or at least determine with certainty the problem cause.
We have an application launching forms apps, and from time-to-time we completely lose the focus on this form (generally after typing ENTER in a filter), I mean by focus, we cannot click anymore (cursor seems to stay on a object), we cannot press enter anymore (we get a 'Not defined key function') and so on...
I heard somewhere that it could be due to 'KEY-OTHERS' trigger not handling correctly the ENTER-KEY. But I need this trigger for my filters, or is there another way? KEY_ENTER does only navigate from field to another.
I found something which was able to remove focus lost (kind of a hack while trying to fix this on an on), but the problem is I had to remove this, because it blocks the opening of new windows or popups. It was a mouse-click trigger on forms triggers level:
Go_Record(:System.Mouse_record);
Go_Item(:System.Mouse_Item);
But this blocks any window opening, and it also blocks some other tools we have developed.
Thanks,
Best regards,
G.
EDIT: Forms 11g, and I am pretty sure we had not that much problems with 10g
EDIT2: I read the same kind of topics in the forum, but no patch seems to help
AND we use JRE 1.7....
Edited by: lakers on Jan 14, 2013 11:56 PM
Edited by: lakers on Jan 14, 2013 11:59 PM

this problem occurs with some of versions of JRE. Try with JRE JInitiator 1.3.1.22. Also unstalled all others JRE if exists.
A file called fmrpcweb.res has also been provided which gives the Microsoft Windows client/server keyboard mappings. To use this file, rename fmrpcweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res, and copy fmrpcweb.res to fmrweb.res. Alternatively, use the term parameter as described above.
By default, whether deploying client/server or over the Web pressing the ENTER key takes the cursor to the next navigable item in the block. To override this default behavior it is necessary to modify the forms resource file to revise the key mapping details.
Modify fmrweb.res and change the Forms Function Number (FFN) from 27 to 75 for the Return Key. The line should be changed to the following:
10 : 0 : "Return" : 75 : "Return"
By default, the line is displayed with an FFN of 27 and looks as follows:
10 : 0 : "Return" : 27 : "Return"
This line should NOT fire the Key-Enter trigger since the Return or Enter key is actually returning the Return function represented by the FFN of 27. The FFN of 75 represents the Enter function and fires the Key-Enter trigger.

InputField focus issue in ECC 6.0

We are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6 - I have a BSP app which is behaving differently in ECC 6. When tabbing between inputFields within an iterator, the first tab will place the cursor focus around the inputField, then the second tab will place the focus inside the inputField. You cannot start typing into the inputField until the 2nd tab. This is very annoying and confusing to the user. Is there anyway to change this behavior so that the cursor focus moves inside the field on the first tab? This does not seem to happen with inputFields which are not within an iterator. This does not happen with 4.7. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Raja,
Thanks for your reply. But I have about 9 different data screens, and do not wish to hard-code the tabbing via javascript for each one. This seems like alot of work to make tabbing to the next field work correctly (like it does in any normal HTML page). I would like to be able to tab thru all data entry fields within my iterator, moving to the next field with only one TAB. This works outside of an iterator, and works in previous versions of SAP. But I have to TAB twice now to get to the next field. Is there a new parameter on the inputField or Table definition which might override this behavior? I can't imagine any situation where I would want to TAB to the cell holding the inputField, rather than to the inputField itself. Has anyone else encountered this behavior?
Thanks,
Lisa

Call a Form using Webutil from the Menu loose focus on the applet

Hello,
I have the following problem:
When calling a form using webutil from the menu the focus on the applet (I mean the Forms Application window) is lost and I have to click on the window to get back the focus on the application.
Any advice ?
Env: Forms 9i / Webutil 1.06
Rgds,
Philippe

Try to use the NO_HIDE parameter in the CALL_FORM() built-in.
Call_Form( 'the_form', NO_HIDE ) ;Or maybe, in the[b] When-New-Form-Instance trigger of the called form, return the focus to the calling form
Go_Form( Get_Application_Property( CALLING_FORM ) ) ;Francois

Can a method be an input parameter?

inside
ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
Object src = e.getSource();
     PlcManager.setWaitCursor(this);
     try{
          if(src == getBtnInquiry()){
               onActionInquiry(true);
               saveLogFile();
     } catch (Exception ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
     } finally {
               com.hmm.manager.PlcManager.setDefaultCursor(this);
}I want to make it as:
ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      Object src = e.getSource();
      showWaitCursor(getBtnSave(), onActionSave());
}Putting aside the tidieous issue of what is PlcManager,
private void onActionSave() {
System.out.println("SAVE!");
}just focus on the method can have another method as an input parameter.
Please, let me know asap. Thanks -

BtnSave saveBtn = new BtnSave();
// Pass saveBtn as a BtnAction interface; the BtnSave doAction will be invoked.
showWaitCursor (new JButton(), saveBtn);Note that the Btnxxxx classes can still extend another class as well as implementing your interface. They can even implement other interfaces as well.
