Greek and latin on text item

Hello everybody!
I'm trying to write different types of languages on a single text item, like greek and latin. The type of font of the text item only accepts or latin or greek, but not latin and greek together.
Please, if anyone knows how do I get this tell me.
Is there a way convert unicode to character? Like chr(), but this function is ASCII to character.
Thank you very much!

Hello!
Someone said that exists "nchr()" and
"unistr()", but these functions only work in 9i.
I need something that works in 8i.
If anybody knows, help me please.

Style and layout for text item displayed in new window

1. I publish a text item and selects "Link That Displays Item In Full Browser Window".
2. When I open the item the layout and style of the window is not as wanted.
Where can I find the template containing this layout and style? How can I create my own layout and style?

Not possible in the current release of Portal. We're planning templates for text and other item types in a future release.

Css and javascript in text item

I've read in other threads that you can add javascript and css into simple text items by clicking the 'View HTML Source' checkbox and adding the js and css.
When I do this then apply it the code that I have added disappears and therefore has no effect on the item.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
Steven.

Greek and latin fonts in the same document?

Hello
May be this is not the right forum for such question, however.
For the moment I'm a student of Greek,( the language), and I just would love to put down words using different alphabets in the same document.
Using the Character Map could be one tedious option.
Two keyboards used intermittently may be one.
The ideal solution would be a keyboard where the individual keys could change function.
I wonder what people in countries having such alphabets (Greek, Kyrrilic etc.) do when they do business with the English-speaking.
Any ideas would be welcome.
T.

In the Windows Control Panel,look in Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languges. Click on 'Change Keyboards', which brings up the 'Text Services and Input Languages' dialog.
In the 'General' tab, click on 'Add', to add the language of your choice. The Language Bar is a small control panel that appears on the desktop (you can also dock it in the Windows Taskbar), which allows you to easily switch keyboard layouts. Note, though, that the keyboard shortcuts for the language Bar will steal the ALT key from Photoshop, so it's best not to use them.

How to get only the filename and extension for a text item?

Suppose there is a non-database text item called :myfilename
:myfilename := 'C:\SomeFolder\SomePath\myfile.doc';
I would like to get the file name only without the full path,
i.e. myfile.doc
and the file extension, i.e. 'doc', 'bat', 'java', 'xhtml' etc., i.e. the last few chars from the right to the period.
Any help is welcome.

Thanks for the hints.
I defined the non-database Text Item called FULLFILENAME and another two text items called FILE_NAME, FILE_EXTENSION. The following can extract the file extension,
select substr(:FULLFILENAME,instr(:FULLFILENAME,'.')+1) into :FILE_EXTENSION from dual;
e.g.
:FULLFILENAME := 'C:\MyFolder\AnotherFolder\file.doc';
FILE_EXTENSION becomes 'doc'
but I would also like to extract only the filename without path into FILE_NAME,
i.e. file.doc
Please give more hints. Thanks.

Dynamically generating text item in developer

Hi,
I am developing applicationn in developer 6i and I am facing problem regarding
displaying records in form. My query is
select ename, edept from sale where city = 'NYK'
suppose this query fetch 10 records and I dispalyed them in developer but problem is that I donot
want to display scroll bar in form and only 10 text items to display 10 record.
some times my query fetch 15 record and I have opted to display 10 record and unchecked the
scroll bar in FORMs designing it displays 10 records and 5 records where shown when i use
key board to go down and then I can see them.
kindly tell me whether I can use some commands to generate text items
dynamically depending upon my records.
If I have ten record then only 10 text items will be displayed and if 15
then only 15 text items.
Thanks

Hi,
You cannot create items at run time.
You could create the items at design time in a control block and programatically show or hide them based on a query to retrieve the details you need.
I would ask why you want to do this. Enable the scrollbar, let the users scroll up and down and you get all the functionality for free. No need to create a control block, populate it, control the number of displayed items, considerations on canvas size when number displayed would overflow canvas.
Oracle spends billions of dollars developing software so you don't have to go through the pain.
If you cannot simply do something in forms, then question the requirement, not try to re-engineer Forms

Height of text items

hi,
I've created a form using the wizard. Some of the bigger VARCHAR based items got a default height of 4 lines, which is too much. So I changed them to a height of one line.
But they render different in my webbrowser (both IE and Opera) than text items which have a default height of one line and which are created by the wizard automatically.
In Opera they still have a height of about two lines, in IE the have a small inactive scrollbar on the right.
Anyone knows how to fix that?

Sebastian,
If you want a height of just "1", then I recommend switching from a Textarea to a Text Box - which has a fixed height of "1" and should render the same in most browsers.
Thanks,

Text Item from sales order required in order relevant billing

Hi,
The scenario is that in the sales order there are 25 normal line items and then the 26th item is a text item.After this again line item 27 to line item 51 are again the same normal line items(1 to 25 repeated).The text item notifies that the items bellow are for some specific office
The scenario is :
1> The user creates a bill with ref to the Sales order.
2> He has to select from the selection list.Now as same 25 items are repeated before and after the text item in the sales order, the user sees each line item twice.But the text item in the sales order is not appearing in the order relevant billing.and hence he is not able to select the correct item.
3> what we want is that the text item from the sales order also appears in the selection list. But this item should not take pricing as mandatory.
How to achieve this.
Regards,
Avinash Gyale

As the Text Item is not displaying in selection list then kindly check the Billing Date , Payer & Payment Terms wrt the Line items from 1-25.
The price will not be displaying if you maintain Pricing as Blank in Item category of Text Item in VOV7.

Displaying text item inside the page I would like

Hi, is it possible to open and display from text item link new window with formatting title, description and own text, but not only on the blank default page, but on the special page which I have created for this (with my layout as a template)?
Thanks
Marek

Hi Marek,
I believe what you are looking is for the new Portal 10.1.4 feature - itemplaceholder:-
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_15/portal.1014/b13809/template.htm#CIADAEGG
"You can use Portal Templates for items to enforce a particular layout, style, and associated content. With Portal Templates for items, a requested item displays within the layout defined by the template rather than in place on the item's container page. For example, when a link to an item displays on the item's container page, users click the link, and the item content displays within the context of its associated Portal Template. The item's content is displayed in place of the item placeholder on the template."
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

You can use the set_item_instance_property built-in.

Use the form builtin DIPLAY_ITEM with your desired visual attribute parameter and text field to change visual settings. You can use this in the item instance level triggers

Chart and text items are not synchron

hi all,
i am a newbie in apex 4.0.
i have two regions. the first shows a chart, based on pl/sql-code. second shows text items for possible filter an the current statement of the chart.
when user clicks on a bar in the chart then
1. i set the the first text item as filter,
2. a pl/sql-code runs, build a sql statement, assign the sql statement string to the second text item and
3. returns the statement for the chart.
it works fine. the chart refresh. and the data i can see are correct.
but the text items in the other region doesn't refresh.
when i press "refresh"-button at browser level everything is fine. chart and text items fits together.
what can I do to refresh all regions when the chart changes the sql-statment / User clicks?
Is there any way to read out the current statement of a chart?
thx in advance

Bernd: the reason I asked about views is that you don't have any error messages. This might indicate that (a) you have no items in the view, or (b) there's something wrong with view-role-user assignment.
To check for (a), please go to the published procurement catalog, and go to Views tab. Check that your View is Active. Click on your View ID link to display view details. You should see a list of characteristics assigned to your view in Assign Characteristics sub-tab (the list should not be blank!). Go to Assign Items sub-tab. Navigate in your schema to find items that are supposed to be assigned to your view. You should see "Yes" in the "Assigned" column for those products. If you don't, then you simply don't have any items in your view.
Another thing I'd like you to check: when the user calls your procurement catalog for search, do you see the name of the catalog displayed just below the drop-down "Select Categories Hierarchically"?

How to change data type and col. width of text item

hi,
how will we change the datatype and width of a text item in runtime.
set_item_property(itemname,fixed_length,20);--- it is for width.
please help me.
Regards

Hello,
You cannot change the datatype at runtime.
Start with a CHAR item then do the corresponding cast (NUMBER or DATE)
