Formatting a field before committing from editable datagrid

Hi,
I have an editable DataGrid which displays two columns, date
and value. Now, the date in the dataProvider is actually stored as
an integer (yyyymmdd) so I format it using a labelFunction to
display. I then have a custom itemEditor to set it to a date for
calling into the DateField.
The next step, and where I'm struggling, is to update the
dataProvider with an integer (yyyymmdd) calculated from the
selectedDate. Can someone please help me with how to do this?
Thanks!

See the docs for data grid editing events, such as, I think,
itemEndEdit.

Format Text tab is missing from Edit on Top Level Site home page

Hello,
Hoping for some help - not sure where to go with this.
I've been working on a SharePoint site for my company.
I need to change the top level site main page text layout to 3 columns.
I am pretty sure I was able to do this a few days ago but now when I edit the page the Format Text tab is not there.
I can get it on all my sub sites, just not the top level site.
I must have screwed this up somehow but I haven't a clue as to how to get it back.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
It sounds as though the site template for your root web is a team site or general collaboration site that is using content pages stored in the sitepages library. Is that correct? If you are using publishing features than you could set a custom layout in
the "pages" tab, but it sounds as though you do not have this feature.
A workaround could be to create a new page with 3 columns, copy your homepage content to this new page and finally set the new page as your homepage.

Formatting of text fields when exporting from InDesign to Acrobat Pro

How does one preserve the formatting of a text field when exporting from InDesign CS6 to Acrobat Pro? It loses both the font and the alignment formatting in the PDF.

Use a font that allows embedding/ check the font embedding settings in the PDF output settings.

ALV Grid fields from editable to non-editable mode

Hi,
I am displaying my data through ALV Grid. In my grid the non-key fields are in editable mode.
When I edit any of the editable fields and place the cursor on other field the field which I have edited should become disable(non-editable). Again if I want to edit the same field which is now in non-editable mode should again change to editable mode when the cursor is placed on it.
Thanks & Regards,
Adithya M.

Hi Adithya,
I am confused by your statement "place the cursor on other field the field which I have edited should become disable" -- are you stating that this is the requirement or what is currently happening with your program. The way the edit fields should work by default is they are editable at all times unless you tell it otherwise.
If you are saying your requirement is to change the field to disabled once the field is edited (runtime change), first you want to handle the event on data changed then within your method of handling on data changed, you can disable the field from being edited by using cell styles and changing the value to disabled.
If you look at program BCALV_GRID_EDIT,
You will find code where it disables the field for edit using Cell Style -- this will give you an idea how Cell Style controls editable fields and display fields:
        ls_cell-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
        ls_cell-maxlen = 4.
        ls_cell-fieldname = 'CARRNAME'.
        append ls_cell to gt_sflight-cell.
This specific code will set the field disabled when the program is first exectued, in your case if you need to do this at run time, after someone edits the field, you need to implement handling the event on data changed, in the same program you will find:
method handle_data_changed.
   perform data_changed using er_data_changed.
endmethod.
It is within this method that you can disable a field for editing.
However, once it is disabled you will not get back into the handle_data_changed method. I'm not sure I understand your statement "Again if I want to edit the same field which is now in non-editable mode should again change to editable mode when the cursor is placed on it." Why would you want the user to be able to edit something, then show it disabled, then let them click on it and edit it again? Why not just leave it in edit mode? Maybe if I understand the requirement better, I can answer this portion of the question.
If this is based on security or changing from edit to display for the entire grid, you can run the same program mentioned above and click on the Change/Display button in the top left to see how it enables and disables the entire grid for editing.
Cheers,
Bonnie

Editable Datagrid from programmaticaly built XmlListCollection help needed

Hi, I am trying to build an editable datagrid with 20 empty
rows in it. Users will fill out the cells, this then gets persisted
to a DB, then later by making selections in a combobox, they can
bring this data back for viewing and/or modification. I have been
trying to create the XML dynamically and then addItem on the
XmlListCollection to no avail. Can someone please point out where I
am going wrong? Thanks!
[Bindable] private var teamGridDataAsXml:XML;
[Bindable] private var teamGridData:XMLListCollection;
private function initEmptyTeamGrid():void {
teamGridData = new XMLListCollection();
var s:String = "<rows>";
for(var i:int = 0; i < 20; i++) {
s += "<row rowIndex=\'" + i + "\' agentId='' firstName=''
lastName='' country='' />";
s += "</rows>";
teamGridDataAsXml = new XML(s);
teamGridData.addItem(teamGridDataAsXml);
<mx:DataGrid id="agentInfo" editable="true"
dataProvider="{teamGridData}" width="100%" height="100%"
rowCount="20">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="#" dataField="@rowIndex"
editable="false"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Agent ID"
dataField="@agentId" editable="true"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="First Name"
dataField="@firstName" editable="true"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Last Name"
dataField="@lastName" editable="true"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Country"
dataField="@country" editable="true"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>

teamGridDataAsXml = new XML(s);
trace(teamGridDataAsXml.toXMLString() ); to be sure you have
good xml
var xlRows:XMLList = teamGridDataAsXml.row;
trace(xlRows.length()); //what you expect?
teamGridData =new XMLListCOllection(xlRows);
You could skip the xml variable and go straignt into the
XMLListCollection also. In the loop, build the XML node, using XML
literal syntax, and then call addItem *inside the loop*.

Editable DataGrid and setInterval()

I have a page with an editable datagrid on it. I am not using
any item renderers or anything. Also I am refreshing this page
every five seconds by doing a setInterval() on it. Here's the
scenario which is causing the problem.
I select a cell to edit. The cell's look changes from regular
text to the look of an editable field. However if the refresh
happens before I make my changes, the cell gets converted back to
regular text. Is there a way for me to maintain the editability of
the cell through the refresh or should I use some other method of
refreshing the data?

It seems to me that if the user has started entering data,
that you should suspend the refresh activity entirely, until the
current data is saved. Otherwise, it wll be nearly impossible to
update the data, since few people will be able to type and samve
sopmething in less than 5 seconds.

Are parts of a pdf document in Adobe Acrobat Pro able to be secured so that once the recipient fills out a specific section, signs it, and submits it to the original sender, that information filled out is locked from editing for security purposes? If so,

I have an application I'm submitting to our school website for potential students to fill out. There are sections for the student(s) to fill out as well as sections for staff to fill out. For the sake of security for the student filling out the form, I'd like to set it up so that once the student has filled out the proper sections and submits the information, any information filled out and signed by the student is locked from editing on my part. I only need to read what the student filled out and signed, then add my notes to Staff sections. Is this possible? If so, how? I need details!

You can create a script that will lock the fields before signing. But when you edit the document after the student signs, the signature will no longer be valid and the document will show that it has been changed after signing. Adobe restricts the number of files you can collect information on with forms that can be saved and emailed. The restriction used to be 500 files unless you purchased the appropriate LiveCycle product to enable the pdf files for saving.
Why in the world are you requiring potential students to sign forms. Many students will not know how to sign pdf files. Just have a button that will submit the information to a website for you to extract or to send you the information in an FDF file and import the information form. You can have a button that will lock the fields they fill out. This will ensure you do not have to worry about the 500 file limit.

XML SELECT error ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting enti

Apologies, If I have to open a new thread. I have a similar problem and would be grateful if you can help:
Created a view based on an xsd. View works fine. However when selecting data from the view, the xml output is scrambled. On search found there is a pretty print function which can be added when creating the view: .extract('/*') as:
).extract('/*')
as RBid
from Balit_Submissions bs
Again the view gets created successfully. But when doing the same select from it get the error:
ERROR:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
I have narrowed it down to the .xsd definition of the tag: <xsd:element name="CreationDateTime" type="ecc:MessageDateTimeType">
In the view, CreationDateTime is selected as follows:
,XMLelement("CreationDateTime",xmlattributes(to_char(bs.creation_datetime,'yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh:mi:ss"Z"') as "v"))
where the column bs.creation_datetime is Oracle data type DATE.
The MessageDateTimeType is defined in Oracle as a timestamp.
Any hints to overcome this.
Using: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.5.0 - Production
I will paste the full .xsd and view if required.
Thanks

Indeed a small test case would be great. Not sure if I could reproduce - have touched 10.1.0.5 in 4, 5 years...

Check for required fields before locking subforms and submitting

Hello,
I have a 5-page form with many questions, to be completed by the original requestor and multiple approvers. What I'm trying to do is have the original requestor's Submit button on p. 3 lock the input on the first three pages, but first check if all those fields have some content. I currently have all the fields on pp. 1-3 set to "Required" in the object properties, but my script still locks them when there's is one empty one. Here's what I have:
//Lock portions of form
Page1.access = "readOnly"
Page2.access = "readOnly"
Page3.access = "readOnly"
//Save document, allow user to change name
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
//Submit via e-mail
Submit_REAL.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]" +
"?subject=Subject text" +
"&body=Message";
Submit_REAL.execEvent("click");
The automatic check for required fields happens after the pages get locked. I would like the check to stop the process before it locks the pages. Is there any way to check all at once that all "Required" fields on those pages have some content before allowing the script to proceed? I know how to script it to manually check the 50 or so questions on those pages, but I would like to avoid that. Thanks for any help.

There are a few problems that I can see from the start. First, your code is going to pick up EVERY node that exists on these pages. Some of those nodes will not have a rawValue, and some will not have an actual name. As an example, you can take your code and create a text field to dump all of the names of the nodes that you get when you pull in all of the nodes this way. Here's an example:
The result:
Now, the question is, do you have a consistent naming convention for your fields that might be empty? That could be text fields, radio button lists, etc. For instance, I always prefix the names of objects in order to more easily keep track of what they are in scripts. Since I'm doing that, I can check the name of the field for tf, nf, rbl, cb, or whatever I have included to make sure that I'm checking an actual field before I check for things like rawValue.
var nodeName = oNodes.item(nNodeCount).name;
if (nodeName.indexOf("tf")>-1 || nodeName.indexOf("rbl") > -1 || /*check other field types*/) {
//insert your code to check for empty answers here
As for your line 7 issue. The syntax problem is that you've put extra parentheses in your if statement. Take out the parentheses that are just before and after the or "||".

I have a internal table and I have writing the itab in the write statement. I need to format the field in itab.
for eg:
itab-gamng(lenght as 5)
itab-gltrp(its a date) i just need the mm/yy how can I format it.

You don' need to reformat the itab, just the fields before you write them.
data: monthyear(5) type c.
data: qty(5) type c.
LOOP AT ITAB.
concatenate itab-gltrp+4(2) '/'
itab-gltrp+0(4)
into monthyear.
clear qty.
qty = qty + itab-gamng.

Sharepoint 2010: prevent users from editing a list in the datasheet view

Hi,
I have a sharepoint 2010 list that I need to prevent users to edit from the datasheet view. This is because I have edited the add item form on sharepoint designer and included some custom code. Moreover, I need to allow the users to view the list in datasheet
view to make use of the datasheet custom filter view feature which is not available in the standard view. So I need users to access the datasheet view of the list in read mode only but be able to edit the list in standard view only. Is this possible? How?
Thanks,
George

Hi.
Maybe this helps...I found some users having the problem that the list WAS read only in datasheet view...this is a list of reasons why this could happen:
Certain columns, such as Created By and Modified, are always read-only. Values for these columns are entered automatically.
The changes you made to the selected row or column have been submitted to the server. If there is no conflict or error, you will be able to edit the row or column after the changes have been saved.
There is an unresolved conflict or error in the selected row or column. Resolve the conflict or error before attempting to edit the selected row or column.
The list is set up to require content approval, and you are viewing the list in the All Items view.
In the My Submissions view of a list that requires content approval, the
Approval Status and Comment column are read-only. Only a user with Manage Lists right can edit these two columns.
Attachments are read-only in a list that requires content approval. You cannot view or edit attachments in any of the views.
The document in the current row has been checked out by a user. You cannot edit the columns in the row until the user checks the document in.
You do not have permission to edit the column or row. Contact the list author for more information.

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

How to validate required fields before executing menu item ("Save As") using cutom Javascript?

Hi,
Sorry, I am new to PDF Development. I tried creating PDF using Acrobat XI Pro. During creation, I have encountered issues in running custom JavaScript. The requirement is to validate all the required fields before saving the PDF. I tried using the following scripts to validate the said required fields. But, it's not working.
Option 1: If the field is null, a message box will appear.
if(this.getfield("textbox") = null){
app.alert("required");
else {app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");}
Option 2: If the field is required, a message box will appear.
var f = this.getField("textbox");
f.required = true;
if(f = true)
app.alert('required');
else
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
The scripts mentioned above are not working. I wanted to validate the required fields before saving the PDF.
In addition, I tried validating each field using the following script:
f = getField(event.target.name)
if (f.value.length == 0)
    f.setFocus()
    //Optional Message - Comment out the next line to remove
    app.alert("This field is required. Please enter a value.")
When I open the PDF, the script is working. However, when the message box pops out, the "OK" button is not working as expected. The message box is not closing. I tried opening the form in a site in different Java versions (like 7-11 and 7-67). It's working in version 7-67. I tried upgrading the Java version from 7-11 to 7-67. Still, it doesn't work.
I would appreciate your feedback on this matter.

If you set the fields as required, then when the user hits the print button you could run this script:
var txt = form1.execValidate();
if (txt == true){
print command
This code assumes that the root node of your form is form1. Also ensure you put a message into the Empty Message parameter for each field that you want to mark s required.
