Forms | Pages | Screens

Good Day,
I'm a simple guy, programming Visual Basic since version 3,
HTML since Netscape ruled the world.
The concept of Pages | Forms | Screens is something I am
familiar with. In Flex - It seems this concept is obfuscated.
I understand I can have a flash file with the Flex runtime
libraries, then, any other flash file will be small, containing
only assets related to that file.
Therefore, to build my application - I've decided to
investigate having each of the 20 or so flash-flex swf files on a
separ HTML page. In Director-Lingo-Shockwave - all my variables
stay in scope as I move from one HTML page to another.
Is this the case with Flash-FLex-AS3-SWF? Please - answer yes
or no. I don't need theory on why I should or should not do it this
way. Thank you in advance.

No.
But I really can't just leave it at that. First off, I
totally respect your experience, but Flex embraces a different
application flow. The idea is to have a single page experience for
the user. When you use HTML and you have a series of forms, the
"Submit" button sent the information to the server which responded
with a different page. In Flex, that submit button might also send
data to the server, but the server's response will be other data.
The Flex application doesn't switch pages, but can do a lot of
other things: have the form slide to the left and the new form
slide in from the right; have the form dissolve from view and the
next form zoom in; have the form flip over like a playing card
showing the next form on its reverse side; and on and on. The idea
is that the user's experience isn't interrupted with a page
refresh, but rather have their experience be more of a flow from
point to point.
If you insist on using multiple HTML pages you will discount
the point of Flex and Rich Internet Apps in general.

How to insert an username from the login page to the form page

Hi friends,
I created one database apex application in which it consist of three pages...
1)login page----->1
2)form page along with report page(in same page) i.e. i created a report region within a form region
3)form page(this page appears when i click the edit option in my previous report page
(i.e.) my 3rd form page depends upon my 2nd report page, as soon after i click the edit option of each and every row in my report which is in 2nd page it has to go to the corresponding 3rd form page for making an updations in each and every row...
I have created my above listed applications....
But the scenario for me is since the login page contains two fields, that is
user name:
password:
so i will be giving my name in the user name and also respective PW for accessing to my 2nd and 3rd page in my application...
Since my 2nd form page consist of following fields like
*) user name---------->
*) assigned to
*) status
*) start date
*) priority
so my requirement over here is soon after i logging into my application through the user name and PW into second page, while coming to the second form page
my user name field in my 2nd form page has to get inserted automatically with the user name that i have entered in the login page...
example: my user_name in login page is :harry
after going into the second form page with the user name "harry"
the field of my 2nd form page "username" has to get automatically generated with the name "harry"
Whether it is possible friends to do this in my application....i doesn't have any idea of it...Kindly help me friends to solve my scenario...please explain each and every steps in detailed manner...
Since the user_name: harry, is of I got from the admin side as a developer for the workspace......
Thanks in advance

Using a link to trigger a delete action on form page?

Hello,
I have been unable to find an explanation about how to do this in the documentation, these forums or the old interakt forums.
Is it possible to use a link to trigger the delete action on a form page?
If so how is it done?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry Purple.. I know that there is a delete link that triggers the delete transaction on the form page..
The question was if anybody knew if I am able to use a link to trigger that delete transaction (on the form page), much like a dynamic list has a link that will trigger the delete transaction on the form page.
I don't want to use a dynamic list in this case though. :)
Thanks anyways,
Drew

How to Edit the Title (file name) on forms 10g Screen.

Hi ,
How can one edit the Title ,and <(file name)> on forms 10g Screen ....
I tried editing through the forms module preperty palette , but could n't change the Title, or file name on forms menu screen ...
I guess , the entries are made through some other means...
Please let me know on how to do this .
Need a quicker reply ..
Thanks in Advance
Sanu

using the below code too not getting me the new names entered by me ... still the old title names are comingWhat do you mean by new nemes? It will return you the actual file name which is saved in phycical location and form name will return you the module name which displays when you open forms in builder.
Or you mean something else then its better to provide any example..like what is happening actually with you.

Self replicating form pages in Acrobat Pro 9 (Win XP)

Is it possible to make a single form page, with several text fields, a few drop-down menus, that will duplicate itself into a new page when a button at the bottom of the page is pushed?
If this is possible, is it also possible to have any fields, drop downs, or buttons, change their name automatically as each new page is created so that there are no conflicts of having multiple form items with the same name?
For example; Page 1 has a button, "Date1", that when pressed, will insert the current date into field "DateField1". I press another button, a new page is created which is an exact duplicate of page 1 (with all fields blank) and now, on page 2, there is a button, "Date2", that will insert the current date in "DateField2".
If this is possible, how do I do it?
Thank you very much for any help you can proivide,
Nathan

Have you looked at the documentation for the template object and the spawn method. You set the 'rename' parameter to 'true' and the spawning method will rename the fields in the template to be prefixed with "P#.templateName." where "#" is the zero based page number of the spawned template and "templateName" is the name of template that was spawned.
A Lesson in Templates for Adobe Acrobat by Dave Wraight.
When I create a from that uses a template, I create the template and then spawn the 1st page of the form before the template and then work out the scripting for the 1st page and template and then hide the template.
Thanks, but I've already gotten past this point. The issue I am having now is getting the javascript for the button to automatically append the page prefix to itself so that the button works on that page, not the page it was duplicated from.

How to create Form page using a query-like filter to select editable rows

Hi!
Does anyone knows how can I create a Tabular Form page to update a table's data, but using the capabilities offered when creating an Interactive Report page (that is, having the "Search Bar" filtering tool at the top of the form)?
I mean, is that possible without customizing the page? I ask this because I still don't have that much APEX knowledge and I would prefer to accomplish this by just using the "Create Page" wizard but without doing too much programming afterwards.
Thanks a lot.

Try this method,
1. Creat a Master Detail Form (Custom Layout and not tabular)
and in the master block select one field.
2. In the HTML layout for master remove the reference for
that field(so that nothing will appear in the master block
of the form).
3. Before the update (in the Pl/SQL event handler select the 'Save' event and write the following code to avoid updating master block).
p_session.set_value(p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
p_attribute_name => 'MASTER_ACTION',
p_value => 'None');
doSave;
For eg, let's say
Master is from 'Dept' table and Detail is from 'Emp' table(with join condition Dept.dept_id = Emp.dept_id). In the master remove everything except dept_id field and in the HTML layout for master remove the reference of the dept_id field(you cannot remove this field physically from the master layout). Now the form will look like multirow form rather than master detail form but only problem with this workaround is 'Detail Action' will be present in the detail block.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks

How to save all records in the Tabular form page temoprarily

Hi All,
I am very new for HTML DB. I created 5 tabular form using HTML DB Wizard.

When save button should click then it should save in the database. Can anyone suggest how to do in stepwise. It will be a great help for me.
Thanks.

Can APEX_ITEM be used to generate a Form page?

Hi,
I would like to use APEX_ITEM to generate in APEX 4.0 a Form region at runtime, based on some meta tables that describe the columns, labels, datatypes etc..
It seems that people use APEX_ITEM for generating updatable tabular form and I start to question my original concept. I created a PL/SQL Anonymous block region, that contains the following code segment:
htp.p(
APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST (
3,
'Y',
'Yes;Y,No;N',
'Y',
'readonly=readonly',
'P1_MARRIED',
'Married'
When I run my form and click my 'Session' link at the botom of the page, the P1_MARRIED item would not show up in the item list of the page. Am I missing something or this 'Generate a Form region at runtime' concept is based on my missunderstanding of APEX_ITEM API?
Regards, Tamas

Tamas Szecsy wrote:
Thanks, that was enlightening!
So if I understand it well, it means that:
1.) I have to give my region 'Form like' layout by using htp.p appropriately. Yes. A custom named column report template is another useful approach.
2.) What concerns the update processing, it means I should handle the region as a 1-record report i.e. using Fxx arrays but always referencing the first member of each Fxx array only: APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fxx (1)Yes, unless there are actually any 1:M elements (home, work, and mobile phone numbers/email addresses for example), where the same type of element is repeated. (This might also help with point 3...)
Note also that disabled items are not submitted, and only checked checkboxes are submitted
3.) I am OK, provided that I generate maximum 50 items on a page, since 50 is a hard-coded limit that can not be gotten around. (I will have to work out solution for this, since i have 53 columns in the given table)Dividing the form into several wizard-style pages as used in the APEX Application Builder is probably the best solution to this. It enables you to keep the sub-form pages simple, clean and short, so users don't have to scroll up and down. Save the submitted values from each sub-form page in APEX collections, and display a final report based on the collection(s) for the user to review before saving the information to the database table.
Alternatively, some of these columns might be common across all the form permutations, and implementable using standard page items.

More than one column retrieved in "report and form" page

HELLO!
let's see if anybody can help me with this... i'm sure it's a stupid problem but i really don't know how to solve it.
when i create a new application with APEX, i want to add a "report and form" page. i select the table where de data is, and then click on add page. then i go to the page definition for the form that just has been created but there's no option for selecting more than one column as the link column...
i mean, i want to show a report with all the columns from the table and then, by selecting one of them, the form should display that column but the problem is that the primary key of the table is formed by 6 columns and i always receive the "more than one column retrieved" message as it's trying to retrieve the information using only one column. is there any way to make the link column be composed by 6 or 7 columns??

APEX can handle 2 primary key for one table (if you are using the automated fetch row and the automated process row).
In your case, you'll have to create your own "fetch process (page rendering)" and "DML process (page processing)".

Tabular Form Page - Insert and Update Primary Key

Hi -
I am creating a Tabular Form page which will display 2 columns:
CODE (Text Field), DESCRIPTION(Field)
The *'CODE'* is a primary key to the table/view and *'DESCRIPTION'* is the corresponding detail information for the *'CODE'*.
I am trying to create an updateable report on this page which will show these columns and when a user wants to add a new row,they should be able to add a new row with CODE='somecode' and DESCRIPTION='description' but shouldn't be able to update (but should be displayed) the *'CODE'* value once inserted into the table or view.
Is there a way to do that? Please share your expertise.
Thanks,
-Seenu

I't a bit unclear what you want.
In your first post it seems that you don't want the user to change the PK.
In your second post the user can change the PK, but you get a db error.
Anyway, I guess you don't want the user to change the PK.
I have a few support tables, which are the source for some LOV's.
For those I also add records with a manual assigned PK, rather then via a sequence, just to improve consistency across applications.
The data is protected by foreign keys to the main tables.
You could further add a trigger to your table which throws an error the moment it detects a change on your PK.

What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.
What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?
Many thanks in advance.

Mr. Clark,
You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
Does your Print dialog look like this:
Or like this:
If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:

Forms page opens very slowly for single user

Hi ,
We have a user in our EBS environment names OPERATIONS under which all scheduled custom concurrent programs run.
The problem is it takes a long time just to open the forms page when I login as operations user , but when i login via other users such as sysadmin, the forms page opens very quickly.
Any particular reason for it ?
EBS 11.5.10.2
DB 11.2.0.2
Thanks
Vicky

Hi,
One reason which i can see is:
Since you said all the concurrent programs are running under this user name, I presume MOAC. is set for all the Org's for this user and as a result when the form is opened it has to fetch data for all the Org's for this users, whereas for other users it might be fetching data only few Org's.
How to confirm this:
1. Please enable the FND:Debug log for this users and check the data for MOAC assignment.
2. Repeat the same steps for a different user and compare the Org's initialized.
Hope it helps!!
