Get selected text from af:inputText

Hi,
I am using an <af:inputText> component, within which I would want to know if any text has been selected.
InputText.getValue() would give me the total value that is there within the inputText component. But if I have selected a part of the text, I would like to get hold of that.
Is there a way in ADF, to get that selected Text ?
Thanks,
Pawan.

Hi,
If I am to use javascript, can i directly use the IE/FF (browser-specific) code to get hold of the selected text ?
The ADF javascript API doesn't seem to have a way to get the selected text.
Thanks,
Pawan.

How to get selected value from SelectOneChoice

Hi,
I'm facing a problem to get selected value from SelectOneChoice. I have valueChangeListener event on a (SelectOneChoice)item. After user makes a choice I want to store selected value in a bean property to pass it to a method.
For example List item shows dname from dept table after user makes a choice I want to get deptno and populate into bean which I use to pass into my method.
If I use valueChangeEvent.getNewValue() I always get negative value instead I want deptno selected. Sample code pasted below.
public void setDeptno(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
BindingContainer b = getBindings();
OperationBinding oB = b.getOperationBinding("setDeptno");
//Checking instance of because same method is called from another text inputText item.
if (valueChangeEvent.getSource() instanceof CoreSelectOneChoice){
CoreSelectOneChoice cN = (CoreSelectOneChoice)valueChangeEvent.getSource();
if (columnName.getId().toString().equals("deptDname")){
JSFUtils.setManagedBeanValue("dept.deptDeptno",valueChangeEvent.getNewValue());
}

if your selectOneChoice has value equal to #{bindings.deptno} bound to the iterator Dept1Iterator,
then the backing code will look more like
                public void setDeptno(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
                    BindingContainer b = getBindings();
                    OperationBinding oB = b.getOperationBinding("setDeptno");
                    //Checking instance of because same method is called from another text inputText item.
                    if (valueChangeEvent.getSource() instanceof CoreSelectOneChoice){
                        CoreSelectOneChoice cN = (CoreSelectOneChoice)valueChangeEvent.getSource();
                    if (columnName.getId().toString().equals("deptDname")){
                        FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
                        Application app = ctx.getApplication();
                        ValueBinding bind = app.createValueBinding("#{bindings.Dept1Iterator.currentRow}");
                        Row row = (Row)bind.getValue(ctx);
                        JSFUtils.setManagedBeanValue("dept.deptDeptno", row.getAttribute("deptno"));
                } I haven't tested it, so it could perfectly not work at all

How to get selected items from a tree in backing bean without adfbc

Hi ADF Experts,
Below is my code for af:tree. My question is how can I get selected Items from the selectionListener (without adf bc) this uses formation of tree from backing bean.
Using Jdev 11.1.1.7.0
<af:tree var="node" value="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.model}"
                  binding="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.treeModel}"     id="tree" immediate="true" autoHeightRows="0"
                       styleClass="AFStretchWidth" rowSelection="multiple"
                       selectionListener="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.treeNodeSelection}">
                <f:facet name="nodeStamp">
                  <af:commandLink text="#{node.classDescription}"
                       actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.createListManyItemForMerchandise}"           id="displayTable" partialSubmit="true">
                  </af:commandLink>
                </f:facet>
              </af:tree>
    public void treeNodeSelection(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {
        // Add event code here...
        RichTree tree = (RichTree)selectionEvent.getSource();
                TreeModel model = (TreeModel)tree.getValue();
                //get selected value
Thanks

Hi,
in a multi select case, try
RowKeySet rks = tree.getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator iter = rks.iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()){
Object aKey = iterator.next();
tree. setRowKey(aKey);
Object rowData ? tree.getRowData();
.... do something with the data here ...

Select text from all_views returns an empty string

My application allows the user to select between the Data Provider for ODBC and the Data Provider for Oracle. (ODP)
When using the ODBC provider the statement:
Select text from all_views where view_name='MYVIEW'
returns the expected string.
If I connect via ODP however it returns an empty string.
(If I use 'Select *' it tells me the text_length is 154 in this specific case - so there is definately text available.)
I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that the data type is LONG.
In both cases I retreive the data using rdr.GetChars(), which should work.
If I use the dbms_metadata.get_ddl function instead, it does return the string (Probably because the return type is not LONG)
Unfortunately that function only works for Views in the current schema, while the original Select works for any view.
(And I dont know what version of Oracle this function was added in - I have to support older versions too.)
Similarly, if I use one of the XML functions to retreive the text as XML it works fine.
(Again it is probably returned as a VARCHAR2 instead of a LONG.)
The strange thing is that when I created my own table containing a LONG column I was able to load and retreive data without any problems.
The problem appears to be specific to this column in all_views.
Anyone know a solution to this?
Thanks
Mike

Thanks that was it.
I had not seen those properties since I am working with the 'generic' objects (DbCommand rather than OracleCommand, etc.)
What is strange is that I was able to retreive data from my own LONG column WITHOUT setting this value to -1.
(It defaulted to 0 in both cases.)
The only difference was that when I retreived data from my own column I specified CommandBehaviour.SequentialAccess.
When I retreived the all_views.text column I did not specify a behaviour at all.
However the Oracle docs said that SequentialAccess is not supported ... so I guess that is not correct.
(Maybe it doesn't 'work', but it certainly seems to cause things to work differently)
Thanks
Mike

How to get selected value from selectOneRadio ???

Hi...i want to how to get selected value from selectOneRadio and use it in another page and in backing bean.
Note i have about 10 selectOneRadio group in one page i want to know value of each one of them.
Plzzzzzzzz i need help

You have a datatable in which each row is a question, correct?
Also in each row you have 5 possible answers that are in a radio, correct?
So,
You need to put in your datatable model, a question, and a list of answers (5 in yor case) and the selected one.
So you will have a get to the question, an SelectItem[] list to populate the radios and another get/set to the selected question.
ex:
<h:selectOneRadio value="#{notas.selectedString}" id="rb">
<f:selectItem itemValue="#{notas.valuesList}"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
Search the web for examples like yours.

How to get selected value from OADefaultListBean.

Hi All,
How to get selected value from OADefaultListBean ?
Thanks,

Hi,
To identify the user's selection(s) when the page is submitted, you would add the following logic to your processFormRequest() method:
OADefaultListBean list =
(OADefaultListBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("positionsList");
String name = list.getName();
String[] selectedValues = pageContext.getParameterValues(name);
To retrieve all the values in the list box, call list.getOptionsData().

Dvt:pivotFilterBar - how to get selected values from filter

Hi all,
I have a question: how to programmatically get selected values from pivot table's filter bar?
I have tried to use
pivotTable.getDataModel().getDataAccess().getValueQDR(startRow, startCol, DataAccess.QDR_WITH_PAGE);but for page edge dimensions it returns BAD DATA, it seems that it returns some cached values.
Environment: JDev 11.1.1.3.0 without any patches.
thanks,
Miroslaw

Hi,
You can retrieve the selected value in the PivotFilterBar through the model of PivotFilterBar, instead of dataaccess:
// get the model from the pivot filter bar instance
QueryDescriptior queryDescriptor = (QueryDescriptor)pivotFilterBar.getValue();
// retrieve a list of criterion, each one is used to populate each lov within the pivot filter bar
ConjunctionCriterion conjunctionCriterion = queryDescriptor.getConjunctionCriterion();
List<Criterion> criterionList = conjunctionCriterion.getCriterionList();
for (int i=0; i<_criterionList.size(); i++) {
AttributeCriterion criterion = (AttributeCriterion)criterionList.get(i);
// _selected is the currently selected value
Object selected = criterion.getValues().get(0);
System.out.println(_selected);
Hope that helps,
Chadwick

but it only extracts URLs from <A> (anchor) tags. I want to be able to extract URLs from <MAP> tags as wellGee, do you think you could modify the code to check for "Map" attributes as well.
Can someone maybe point a page containing info on the HTML toolkit for me?It's called the API. Since you are using the HTMLEditorKit and an ElementIterator and an AttributeSet, I would start there.
There is no such API that says "get me all the links", so you have to do a little work on your own.
Maybe you could use a ParserCallback and every time you get a new tag you check for the "href" attribute.

Getting the text from a JTextArea...

hi, I'm making a perfect calculator program and I'm trying to add a Note Pad function to it, I also want to hide that so the other interface can be used; I can get it hided and come again but I'm wondering how could I get the text from the JTextArea INCLUSIVE the enters that are made withing it, so:
theString = jTextArea1.getText();only gives me the text and no enters; suggestions?

I think I displayed it wrongTwo things to keep in mind...
Certain Swing components will just ignore newlines, so you have to be careful where/how you're displaying your multiline text strings. Some components will display it all as one line, some will only display the top line, some will even show \n instead of doing the newline. It all just depends.
And JTextArea does support word wrapping, so just because it looks like there's a newline, there may not be one.

Using browser javascript to copy selected text from a pdf file opened in Air app.

I have posted this question on reader forum as well, but I think it is more suited here...
I am trying to create a note-taking application in air. I want to extract selected text from pdf file as a string object or to the clipboard.
Obviously, all pdfs in my local storage will not be scripted to recieve postMessages and act accordingly, and that is not practical either. So, my problem is, how can I copy the selected text in the pdf file (opened as an object in htmlloader within my Air app) to clipboard or directly in another control by say clicking a button in air application? I suppose, this is possible using javascript, however, I don't know which reader methods are exposed to the wrapper htmlloader control. In short, I want to execute app.execMenuItem("Copy") command through htmlloader javascript. Any alternate solutions are also welcome.
This is similar to passing inbuilt commands/methods/functions (of adobe reader) to pdf-reader plugin embedded in a webpage via javascript. This is possible in IE where the pdf is rendered as activex object, and hence JSObject interface of pdf document/reader is accessible to the browser javascript. I have also read that this same JSObject is accessible to VB as interface for IAC, so as the Air is Adobe's own product, I was wondering if equivalent of JSObject is accessible to htmlloader control as well.
Thanks in advance...
Mits

Thank you Thom for your reply...
from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/javascript.html
...Through JavaScript extensions, the viewer application and its plug-ins expose much of their functionality to document authors, form designers, and plug-in developers...
As it is explicitly mentioned, that the functionality of adobe reader are exposed for plugin development, I thought someone here might have used external javascript to execute some safe methods in adobe reader. The functionality (i.e. external javascript interface-JSObject) is already available for VB programmers to develop IAC. Further, the Acrobat SDK example called "AcroPDFinHML" shows how one can embed a pdf-reader in a html page and execute some safe methods (like gotonextpage(), zooming etc.) in IE as ActiveX plugin. I have checked it myself for adobe reader 9, and it works perfectly, so there is no security issue as such to implement the same for another browser (like in my case, the htmlloader control in flex/air app).
I intend to create a note taking application in air, where it is very much required that I should be able to copy selected text from various pdf documents, that are open in my app, and subsequently paste/collect/save the collected notes and process them afterwords (offcourse, from the pdfs that allow me copying text). However, it is not happening for me here. As the pdfs are opened through adobe reader plugin, it does not register the copy command executed by my air app. It registers the system level copy command (by keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C), but my air app has no way to execute the system level copy command programmatically. So I am kind of stuck here...
Thanks again for your reply. Having known what am I intend to accomplish, any other (may be alternative) solutions will be appreciated nonetheless...

How do I select text from multiple pdf pages using Microsoft Document Imaging

Hello. I have scanned 3 pages and saved to pdf, now in Microsoft Document Imaging I can only select text from the first page and cannot select text from the other 2 pages. Is there a way to select multiple pages?
Thank you.

Why don't you ask in a MS forum? This forum is for an Adobe product and I have no idea why you are asking about Microsoft Document Imaging here.

I have PURCHASED iTunes music on my iCloud account. The music appears on my iPhone. How do I get selected music from my iTunes on my iMac into the Cloud?

I have PURCHASED iTunes music on my iCloud account. The music appears on my iPhone. How do I get selected music from my iTunes on my iMac into the Cloud?

Sorry - not sure what you are asking. The Purchased music on your device is either on your device (i.e., downloaded to it), or it is not downloaded, in which case it is in iTunes in the Cloud. On your Mac, the same is true. Each device or machine may have different Purchases downloaded from iTunes in the Cloud.
What is it that you are wanting to do?

Drag n Drop selected Text from Safari, chrome not working on indesign CC

In CS6 If we drag drop any selected text from any app on layout it work but in indesign cc it is working only with some app like TextEdit, notes etc. I knew that very few people have such use case but same is also not working from one of my cocoa app.
while debugging if i drop content from TextEdit and Notes app on some sample app I found that TextEdit & Notes App registered for this Extra Pasteboard type "com.adobe.indesign-import-ustl" and "com.adobe.indesign-import-styl" where as chrome and safari are not. similarly my app is registered only for "NSPasteboardTypeString" type. Is this is the limitation or bug of indesign?

Similar bug(#3710667) was exist in CC before 9.2.2 update as you can see in release notes of 9.2.2(CC last update) here. before fix simple selected text drag & drop did not work from any application except TextEdit .I have also spent hours before this update to find out bug I used ClipBoardViewer sample App to find out current Drop flavour and its content it may help you and before fix I find some workAround first is add flavour in your drop which Indesign understand even if you are not adding any data for that flavour so that you start receiving couldAcceptType() and under this call parse your actual data from PasteBoard and remove all data from pasteBoard so that another next helper will not consume it. as you mention even after adding text flavour your couldAcceptType() not hit so may be this WorkAround not work for you but it worked for me.
second is just a finding i.e before doing drag and drop on indesign create one new document (from Indesign UI not programmatically ) save it on disk close it and reopen it after it every drag & drop will start working work .
