Highlight LOV extra value

See https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=57688:17
The select list has a LOV of *1,2,3* with Show Extra Values = Yes. The Source attribute forces a value of Extra
Question - How can the extra value be highlighted with, say a colored background, to draw attention to it?
Thanks

Question - How can the extra value be highlighted with, say a colored background, to draw attention to it?Do you have any easy way to determine which option is the "extra" value (in JavaScript) across the LOVs you're interested in? For example: all of the known values have numeric <tt>value</tt> attributes, only the extra one is text; or the displayed option text is always different from the options <tt>value</tt> attribute for known values, only the extra one's text and <tt>value</tt> will be the same?
If not (or if you want a generic, foolproof approach) then all I can think of is an AJAX Dynamic Action that collects the list's <tt>value</tt> attributes, sends them to the server for comparison with the item's known LOV values, and returns the difference. It's possible that getting the current, known LOV values for the item may not be trivial.

Display extra values not displaying extra value

Hi,
I have a SQL query that returns a LOV. I have "Display Extra Values" set to Yes. However, I don't see my "extra value" in the Select List. ?? Yet, when I check the session state, the value in the session state is the extra value. So how come I don't see it in my Select List?
Thank you.

This is from the on-line docs:
To define a value that does not display in the list of values:
a) From Display Extra Value, select Yes.
The extra value is used if the actual column value is not part of the LOV. In that situation, the actual value is shown. If you do not display extra values, you may end up with the wrong value and unintentionally update your data incorrectly.
b) In Null Value, specify the value that displays.
c) If you have not selected a Named LOV, enter the query used to display a select list in the LOV Query field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi all
I have a custom form on which i have 10 text items
text item 1,text item 2 ....text item10
I have a table xx_querywith fields
text_item,query
i have inserted into the xx_query table

I have created a LOV test_lov and thr set_lov_property i have populated the test_rg query into the test_LOV
is it possible for me to set the return item of the LOV dynamically so that i can get the LOV on the item which i want to ?
thanks

Hi All
thanks for your responses
I have Created a control item and assigned the return value of the LOV to the control item
and i have assigned the LOV to the text item that i want
Currently when i navigate to the text item the LOV is visible
but when i select a value from the LOV the value is not getting populated into the text item
I have assigned the value of the control item to the text item
but i am not sure in which trigger to write the code so as when i select the value from the LOV the value should be shown on the form populating in the text item

How to disable an LOV wrt value in another LOV?

I have a javascript function that works fine if P2_BANK_ASSIGNED is a text item. But if I change it to an LOV is doesn't work. How do I disable an LOV on value of another LOV?



<script type="text/javascript">
function disBankAssigned(){
var lReturn = $x('P2_TRIAL').value;
if (lReturn == 0 ) {
     $x('P2_BANK_ASSIGNED').readOnly = false;

OO ALV - How to highlight cell after value change

Hi All,
I have an OO ALV with an input enable column and would like to highlight a cell in a different color when the user changes it's value.
I am using pr_data_changed->get_cell_value to check the cells value has changed and pr_data_changed->modify_cell to update the cell with the new value.
The output table has a field called CELLCOLOR of type LVC_T_SCOL which I am using to highlight the cell in red:
         lw_cellcolor-fname = 'THISFIELD' .
         lw_cellcolor-color-col = '7'.
The ALV layout is also correclty set using:   layout-ctab_fname = 'CELLCOLOR'
All the above is working fine and the changed cell is highlighted HOWEVER it only works if I call METHOD g_grid->refresh_table_display
Is there anyway to highlight the cell without calling method refresh_table_display??????
I do not like to call method refresh_table_display in an ALV event. The main reason is if a user changes a cells value and at the same time selects the row for update then the method refresh_table_display wipes out the row selection marker.
So Is there anyway to highlight the cell without calling method refresh_table_display??????
All your help appreciated
Che

Try this way
In the PAI use
call method get_selected_rows
This will get you the row index of the selected rows from the screen for example I_ROW
In PBO
call method g_grid->set_selected_rows
exporting
it_row_no = i_rows[].
then call refresh_table_first_display
So this one will keep row selection after the refresh_table_first_display method

How to highlight the selected value in a table

Hi All,
I have list of roles in a table like admin,dba...etc.
i will select the current selected role using
Stgin role =wdCotext.currentElement().getRole();
After getting the role i bind this value in context.
now my requiremnet is i will navigate to other table view containing all roles like admin,dba,networkadmin .
I have to highlight the selected role in previous table to new table containing the all the roles.
means selected role should be highlight in a next table view list of roles.
please help.

Hi mohammad,
To achieve this functionality, use another integer variable to store the index of the currently selected element in the first view. Pass this variable's value to the next view (either as plug parameter or throgh mapping) and set the Lead selection for the table as this index in the second view.
In the first View ....
int n = wdContext.current<your_node>Element().index()
pass this value from first view to second view.
In the second view
wdContext.node<your_node>().setLeadSelection(n)
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,
Nibu.

Double Quotes In LOV Return Value Being Replaced With &qu ot; By APEX 4

My company recently upgraded our development and test boxes to APEX 4.0.2, which we have been wanting for a while now. We discovered that since the upgrade some of our checkboxes and radio groups no longer work as expected. What I mean by this is that the return values being checked for were not correct, and on several occasions we received PL/SQL errors related to numeric to character conversion issues.
After debugging some it turns out that we have the following LOV query for one of our Checkboxes:
select
statement d,
stmt_id || '" title="&P20_FORM_STMT. ' || statement || '.' r
from
stmts
The return value for the LOV is setup so that it would return a 508 compliant checkbox. We were told we needed a title for each value of a checkbox or radio group to be 508 compliant. These titles must also be relevant to the selection being made, hence the substitution string being used in the return value.
What I discovered in all of this is that APEX 3.2 did not convert the double quotes in our return value to &qu ot;, but APEX 4.0.2 does. This causes the value of any given checkbox or radio group to look like the following:
value="1&qu ot; title=&qu ot;This is the statement that I have made."
And what we are looking for, and what APEX used to do is this:
value="1" title="This is the statement that I have made."
Does anyone know a way to prevent APEX from converting the double quotes to &qu ot;, or is there a way to insert an element attribute for each checkbox or radio group value that contains a substitution string?
Thanks in advance!

4.2.1
Hi,
I have a classic report, which has a count column that is hyperlinked. using the standard apex column hyperlink option. In that we have the option of passing values. I noticed that when I am passing a value which has "/" in it, it replaces the / with & #x2F;
I have created a application item which I am populating with the report column.
Because of which I cannot use that value in the report query.
Any suggestions?Yes. Don't pass string values in URLs. Especially where it is possible for these strings to contain URI reserved or APEX sensitive characters. This might work for a while but your application can be broken months from now by users including a "&" or ":" in data that gets passed as a URL parameter. Whilst it is possible to escape strings to make them URL- and APEX parameter-safe, it is much better practice to avoid the problem altogether.
Exposing data in the URL may also introduce security vulnerabilities. Also note that the maximum length of a URL in Microsoft Internet Explorer is about 2KB, which can easily be exceeded by throwing a few string values at it.
Only use discrete alphanumeric key values as URL parameters. In target pages/regions, use these key values to retrieve the required data using item source attributes and processes.

LOV Decode value returned by Pre-populate Adapter

Hi,
I have a lot of UDFs of type LOV, in particular System LOV( that point to custom Lookup Field definitions).
My problem is to get and return not the Lookup Decode value and not the Lookup Code Key (default OIM behavior) by a Pre-populate adapter.
May you help?
Thanks and regards,
Gabriele.

Hi Kevin,
may you provide a sample code fro that?
What you said it's true for UI/RequestTemplate that is: the Lookup Decode value it's displayed; but it's not true for a Pre-populate adapter mapped on a Provisioning Form.
In particular my custom pre-populate adapter is like the following:
CUSTOM Prepopulate Field Value
Adapter Name: CUSTOM Prepopulate String Field Value
Adapter Type: Pre-populate Rule Generator
Description: return input field value (String)
[Save]
[Variable List]
[Add]
Variable Name: string_field_value
Description: string_field_value
Type: String
Map to: Resolve at runtime
[Adapter Tasks]
[Add]
Logical Task + SET VARIABLE
Variable Name: Adapter Return Variable
Operand Type: Variable
Operand Qualifier: string_field_value
[Build] (Compile Status = OK)
[Save]
and it is mapped on AD Provisioning Form (Form Designer - UD_ADUSER - Pre-Populate):
Field Name: Description
Rule: Default
Adapter: CUSTOM Prepopulate String Field Value
[Save]
[Map] string_field_value
Map to: User Definition
Qualifier: <UDF LOV attribute>
where the <UDF LOV attribute> it's my custom sttribute type System LOV. It returns the Code Key value not the Decode value.

List Manager based on LOV returning values with missing spaces

I am using a list manager based on a pop up lov, in this case it is a list of supplier names. When the pop-up list is shown the values are displayed as expected, with all spaces intact. When I click the supplier name, and then click Add to add to the list manager, all spaces in the supplier name are lost.
The field I'm pulling is a varchar2 in the db. Here's the sql behind the lov:
select '(All Suppliers)' d, '(All Suppliers)' r from rep_gy_spend
union
select distinct supplier_name d, supplier_name r
from rep_gy_spend
order by 1
Any ideas on why the spaces are lost?

DJ - There is a javascript function on the page that does that. View page source and you'll see it. You could override it with your own and change that behavior and you could prevent it from upper-casing the returned values as well by using different onclick javascript on the add button.

LOV - get value for hidden id

Hi, I thought this would have been asked a few times earlier, but I cannot find it. So I hope some of you will know.
Once I did applications in Oracle Forms, and now I wanted to do something I thought would be simple in apex. However, I don't understand how.
I have a form, in that form I have a field with a lookup value. When I do an insert or an update, I can query some lookup table I can find the value using an LOV, and when I choose it, it shows on my screen so beautiful! But what I really want, is safe the id that the value is connected to to the base table of my form. An id is not something I ever want on my screen, I use id's as absolutely meaningless technical data, so my id fields are hidden for human eyes.
I can of course, when I safe the record, query that look up table again, but that sounds like extremely bad programming. There should be a way to display the name in the LOV, show the name in the visible name field in the form, and give the invisible id field the value of the id.
What is the technique for this in Apex?
All help is greatly appreciated.

That is indeed correct. The bad thing is that the same field is used for the return value and the display value. When some other field has been updated and the record is being saved to the database, then the item contains the name that was read from the database. When this field is updated or the record is new, then Apex will know what id is connected to the value and send that one instead. So when I save a record, my api must judge whether it gets a name or an id, and either do nothing, or transfer the value to the id parameter so that the right column is updated. Forms was better in this. So far I consider this a bug.
Thanks and regards.

How to get lov display value dynamically for an item according to date pick

Hi friends,
I have a date picker item called on_date, and also one lov item course_name
If i select one date from the date picker item means, automatically the course name corresponding to the date has to populate in the course_name item lov.
suppose if i select the date (21-06-2011) from the date picker item means and if there are two courses available for the date in the table
that is *) APEX *)OAF means, then the course_name item lov should show APEX and OAF in the select list.
How to acheive it.
I tried it in the way by creating a dynamic action for the date item
True Action: set value
Sql Expression:
select course_name from xx_trg_course_detail where :P2_ON_DATE between effective_start_date and effective_end_datepage item to submit: P2_ON_DATE
Affected element: P2_COURSE_NAME
it is working if i kept the course_name item as a text field instead of LOV item.
But i need to show the corresponding courses in the lov for the course_name item soon after selecting the particular date from the date picker.
This is the LOV definition that i gave for the course_name item
select course_name r, course_name d from xx_trg_course_detail where :P2_ON_DATE between effective_start_date and effective_end_datewhat is the problem over here.
Thanks
Regards,
Mini

Hi friends,
One of my batch mate corrected this problem, by setting
cascading LOV parent item: P2_ON_DATE
page items to submit : P2_ON_DATE
By specifying the date picker item name in the above fields for the item COURSE_NAME.
Now if i select the date from the picker means, the lov item course_name is getting changed as it is showing only the courses of the respective dates.
Thanks

How can i highlight less 10 values in webi 4.0

How can i select less 10 values in certain column and change there color in webi 4.0 ?

i worked with alerts before but alerts need conditions you have to choose certain value "for example" i can highlight " all values less than 1000" but here i don't have certain value i need less 10 values in general plus i don't have fixed number of rows

LOV-Dynamic value selection

I am executing following query for LOV in APEX or HTML DB 2.0
IF :P2_TX_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
RETURN
'SELECT TX_UNIT_NAME
FROM TRANSPLANT_UNIT
WHERE TX_ID=:P_TX_ID';
ELSE
RETURN
'SELECT TX_UNIT_NAME
FROM TRANSPLANT_UNIT
ORDER BY 1';
END IF;
When I run the application, it always goes to ELSE loop as condition is executed when I am runing application. I want first page to be displayed and then I enter value for :p_TX_ID and based on the value of column, I should able get the query set result.
This was very simple in Forms and Reports (D2K or Developer 2000). How to achieve the same in Oracle Apes?

APEXDeveloper,
Since :P2_TX_ID is a PopupLOV item, it doesn't automatically submit the page. As a result ur item value is not getting set in the session. I am not sure of the context of ur application, but could u add a button something like 'Set Values' and create a submit process on that and make the page branch to itself? And then after the values are set, u can run ur query and it will grab the value of :P2_TX_ID from the session.
