How can I have independent columns on a Pages 5.2 layout?

Instead of using a table to format my text, I would like to use a 2 column layout. I can create the layout, but the 2 columns are linked i.e., I type in the first column until it is full when it then starts filling the second column.
I would like to input text in each column independently. The main text would be in the second column with callout-like text in-line (aligned) in the first column.
Is there a way of doing this in Pages 5 without having to resort to InDesign or some other complex tool?
Thanks in advance.

If you don't need multiple lines in the initial item, you can construct this with hanging indents and tabs.
Or a Table with no borders.
Pages can be difficult sometimes with aligning lines across columns as it doesn't have baseline align like ID.
Pages 5 has superior anchored textboxes to Pages '09 so that could be another method. Can't index the contents though and you have all the other problems of PitA 5.

How can we have a column having text and radio button in the same line?

Hi,
I have a column which needs to have data with a radio button. Was able to achieve this by using <trh:tableLayout>. But when i select the radio button it shifts to the next line. Want to stop this behavior of radio button of shifting to the next line. This column also includes a hyperlink.So the text and hyperlink are made visible invisible based on radio button action.
Adding one more doubt. Can a particular columns horizontalgrid can be made invisible?
Any help would be appreciated.
sample code:
<trh:cellFormat id="cf8" halign="start">
<af:activeOutputText value="#{row.Actions}" id="aot2"/>
<af:goLink text="#{row.Actions}" id="gl1"
clientComponent="true" visible="false"
targetFrame="_blank" destination="http:// + #{row.BUTTON_URL}">
</af:goLink>
<af:selectBooleanRadio text="" id="sbr1">
<af:clientListener method="selectCheckBox" type="click"/>
</af:selectBooleanRadio>
</trh:cellFormat>
Thanks,
Nita

Remove the <trh:> components. Put the other components as direct children of the PanelGroupLayout:
<af:column id="c2" headerText="Actions">
<af:panelGroupLayout id="pgl6" layout="horizontal">
 <af:activeOutputText value="#{row.Actions}" id="aot2"/>
 <af:goLink text="#{row.Actions}" id="gl1"
 clientComponent="true" visible="false"
 targetFrame="_blank" destination="http:// + #{row.BUTTON_URL}">
 </af:goLink>
 <af:selectBooleanRadio text="" id="sbr1">
 <af:clientListener method="selectCheckBox" type="click"/>
 </af:selectBooleanRadio>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</af:column>If you need to add some horizontan space between the components, you can put <af:spacer>(s) between the components.

How can I have a picture overlap 2 pages?

I'm having trouble having a picture overlap on two neighboring pages. Right now the picture shows on one page with the other half blanked out.
Would appreciate any help figuring this out? This seems possible as it was done in Education event.

Not sure (haven't tried it yet) but possibly you need to split the original image exactly in half and load each half separately. I did that in my iBook (which was made before iBooks Author became available) because the iBookstore Guidelines suggested doing so. Memory issue, maybe.

How can I have the loading of a page CLEAR ALL session variables?

Hi,
At the time of logging in it needs to reset all session state or at least my collection.
I thought it would be a quick easy thing to clear session state????

I found it:
1.) Goto the page of desired Session State clearing.
2.) Select the + after "Processes".
3.) Select "Session State" category.
4.) Select whatever you desire to do!
Clear Cache For Applications (removes all session state for listed applications)
Clear Cache For Current Application (removes all session state for current application)
Clear Cache For Current Session (removes all state for current session)
Clear Cache for Items (ITEM,ITEM,ITEM)
Clear Cache for all Items on Pages (PageID,PageID,PageID)
Reset Preferences (remove all preferences for current user)
Set Preference to value of Item (PreferenceName:ITEM)
Set Preference to value of Item if item is not null (PreferenceName:ITEM)

How can I have header only once in group above rep

Hi
I have developed a group above report and i see that the main header is repeated for every row (that is group by row). How can I have that only once per page or report and not repeat for every record?

The "main header" must be inside the repeating frame. Put the repeating frame in its own non-repeating frame, put the header in its own frame inside this frame at the top.
It sounds like you are using the report wizard... if so, don't.

How can I have multiple WINDOWS (NOT tabs) with INDEPENDENT content?

How can I have multiple '''windows''' (''not ''tabs) with '''independent''' content?
I used to be able to open separate windows with Firefox, and the content could be completely different in each window. No matter what I did in any window, no OTHER window open at the time, nor any of the content therein, was affected. This is no longer the case and it is extremely frustrating for me.
I do ''not ''like tabs and do not use them. I prefer multiple windows plus I am so used to using them, for so many years now! But with v9.0.1 I suddenly can no longer do what I've always done with my browser without this aggravating problem constantly reminding me that I can't have what I want in firefox anymore.
Or can I? Does anyone have a solution I don't realize exists?
Thanks,
Sowelu

AppleScriptObjC can use pretty much everything in the Cocoa API, so yes, it is possible.
Note that a view is not the same as a window, and a window can have multiple views. There are also many ways to implement "tabs"; take a look at some of Apple's applications - they use various mixtures of toolbars, checkboxes, and radio buttons, for example. An application such as this will be a lot more involved than what you have done so far though, using custom classes and subclassing existing ones, so be prepared to do a lot of reading and researching.

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

if you have data in db then you can create xml with needed structure
and so you can create bip report
do you have errors or .... ?

How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?

Hi Gurus;
I'm using dynamic search help in my program.
I want to get multi column values from search help. But I dont know solution for this issue.
I'm using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM.
How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?
Thanks.

Believe it or not, the same FM worked for me in a dynpro. I will try to explain here how it works in custom screen and then you can do your work for other screens or program types. I am not going to write my actual work but will explain in general.
I have 4 fields (FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4) and i made the search based on FLD2 and when user click on a line (could be any field), then this would bring the line on to the screens.
There are like 3 steps.
You have your value_tab for my fields FLD1, FLD2, FLD3 and FLD4. This is just the data that we pass into the FM. (data: IT_VALTAB type table of ZVAL_TABLE)
Next map the screen fields into an internal table (data: It_dynpfld type table of dselc ). I also have other internal tables defined (just to keep it straight, i will be putting here) data: It_return type standard table of ddshretval.
Next step is to call the function module. Make sure you have values in IT_VALTAB.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
exporting
 retfield = 'FLD2'
 value_org = 'S'
 tables
 value_tab = It_VALTAB
 return_tab = It_return
 dynpfld_mapping = It_dynpfld
 exceptions
 parameter_error = 1
 no_values_found = 2
 others = 3.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
 else.
 perform get_selected_fields tables It_return.
 endif.
The code within the perform GET_SELECTED_FIELDS - We need to map the result fields after user selects it. The code goes like this. This is step is to update the dynpro fields.
I need a internal table as well as a work area here. like,
data: lt_fields type table of dynpread,
 la_fields type dynpread.
field-symbols: <fs_return> type ddshretval.
so fill out LT_FIELDS from the IT_RETURN table
loop at lt_return assigning <fs_return>.
 la_fields-fieldname = <fs_return>-retfield.
 la_fields-fieldvalue = <fs_return>-fieldval.
 append la_fields to lt_fields.
 clear: la_fields.
endloop.
Call the FM to update the dynpro
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
 exporting
 dyname = sy-repid
 dynumb = '1002' "This is my screen number. You could use 1000 for selection screen (hope so)
 tables
 dynpfields = lt_fields
 exceptions
 invalid_abapworkarea = 1
 invalid_dynprofield = 2
 invalid_dynproname = 3
 invalid_dynpronummer = 4
 invalid_request = 5
 no_fielddescription = 6
 undefind_error = 7
 others = 8.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
 message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
 with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
good luck

How can I make a column of sums out of a repeating pattern of 24 changing numbers

How can I make a column of sums out of a repeating pattern of 24 changing numbers in Numbers.
I have a long list of 8760 numbers of which I need to take the sum (and store in a column) of each 24 numbers.

Here's one way. I've reduced the example, taking groups of five numbers from a set of 20. I've used 3 as the data number in all cases to make the sum easily recognizable.
Original column of numbers in Data::column A.
Data::B2 (and filled down): =QUOTIENT(ROW()+3,5)
This adds 3 to the row number, then divides by 5, returning the quotient and ignoring the remainder.
The result is a 'group number' for each group of five rows.
Sums of each group are reported in the Sums table.
Sums::A2 (and filled down): =ROW()-1
Sums::B2 (anf filled down): =SUMIF(Data::$B,A2,Data::$A)
For your example, assuming the 8760 numbers are listed in column A of a table named Data, starting at cell A2:
Add a second column to the table (column B).
In B2 enter the QUOTIENT formula above, with these two revisions:
=QUOTIENT(ROW()+22,24)
Fill down to all cells in the column.
Provided you have named the first table "Data", both formulas in the Sums table will be as written above. You will need to extend the Sums table to 366 rows (including the Header row) to accommodate all 365 groups of 24.

Barry

How can i change the column label text in a alv table display

how can i change the column label text in a alv table display??
A similar kinda of question was posted previuosly where the requirement was the label text was needed and following below code was given as solution :
* declare column, settings, header object
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
DATA: lr_column_header type ref to CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.
get column by specifying column name.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME1' ).
set Header Text as null
lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
lr_column_header->set_text( ' ' ).
My specific requirement is i have an input field on the screen and i want reflect that value as the column label for one of the column in the alv table. I have used he above code with slight modification in the MODIFYVIEW method of the view since it is a process after input. The component gets activated without any errors but while run time i get an error stating
"The following error text was processed in the system CDV : Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible."
i have checked in debugging and the error occured at the statement :
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'CURRENT_YEAR' ).Please can you provide me an alternative for my requirement or correct me if i have done it wrong.
Thanks,
Suri

I found it myself how to do it. The error says that it is not able to find the reference object i.e it is asking us to refer to the table. The following piece of code will solve this problem. Have to implement this in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view. This thing works comrades enjoy...
DATA : lr_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
 lr_if_controller TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table,
 lr_cmdl TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table,
 lr_col TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA : node_year TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
 elem_year TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
 stru_year TYPE if_alv_layout=>element_importing,
 item_year LIKE stru_year-i_current_year,
 lf_string TYPE char(x),
DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
DATA: lr_column_header TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column_header.
DATA: lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings.
Get the entered value from the input field of the screen
node_year = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'IMPORTING_NODE' ).
elem_year = node_year->get_element( ).
elem_year->get_attribute(
 EXPORTING
 name = 'IMPORT_NODE-PARAMETER'
 IMPORTING
 value = L_IMPORT_PARAM ).
WRITE L_IMPORT_PARAM TO lf_string.
Get the reference of the table
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
 lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
lr_if_controller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
lr_column_settings = lr_if_controller->get_model( ).
get column by specifying column name.
IF lr_column_settings IS BOUND.
 lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_NAME').
set Header Text as null
 lr_column_header = lr_column->get_header( ).
 lr_column_header->set_text( lf_string ).
endif.

0002 PHONE_NUMBER 555-555-0002

BUYER_ID PHONE_NUMBER EMAIL CURRENCY
0001 555-555-0001 [email protected] USD
0002 555-555-0002 [email protected] USD
0003 555-555-0003 [email protected] CAD
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is another solution. Suppose your actual table's name is test(which has the redundant data). create a table like this:
CREATE TABLE test2 (BUYER_ID number(10),PHONE_NUMBER varchar2(50),EMAIL varchar2(50),CURRENCY varchar2(50));
then you will type this procedure:
declare
phone_number_v varchar2(50);
EMAIL_v varchar2(50);
CURRENCY_v varchar2(50);
cursor my_test is select * from test;
begin
for my_test_curs in my_test loop
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO phone_number_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='PHONE_NUMBER';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO EMAIL_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='EMAIL';
select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO CURRENCY_v from test
where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
and attribute_name ='CURRENCY';
INSERT INTO test2
VALUES (my_test_curs.person_id,phone_number_v,EMAIL_v,CURRENCY_v);
END LOOP;
END;
Then you will create your final table like this:
create table final_table as select * from test2 where 1=2;
After that write this code:
INSERT ALL
into final_table
SELECT DISTINCT(BUYER_ID),PHONE_NUMBER,EMAIL,CURRENCY
FROM TEST2;
If you have a huge amount of data in your original table this solution may take a long time to do what you need.

How can we have an anonymous 'User i.d." for discussion group posts only?

hi. Here we are asking a stupid Q on very first post. How can we have an anonymous 'User i.d." for discussion group only? Seem to be stuck with our regular old original Apple i.d. I see how that can be changed, but don't really want to cuz just want to have my posts signed with a more anonymous i.d. name. Should be simple to do, but not obvious to us now.
Thnx

Welcome To  Discussions thelnukus!
The Alias of the account you are using, cannot be changed, but you can create a new Discussions Account, with an Alias that you prefer.
You cannot delete your present account. Just stop using it, after you have created a new one.
You can use all of the same info in the new account, Email address, User name, etc, just be sure to insert a new Alias of your choosing.
But your Level(0), Points(0), Total Posts(2), Total Posts Online(2) and Registered Date(12/19/06), will not be transferred.
In the new account, your Post Counts, Points, & Level Status will all start at 0. Your Registered Date will be the date you create the new account.
Your old account, with your previous counts & level, will still be viewable, under the old Alias.
(You really don't have anything accumulated, to be concerned about though.)
After you quit using the old account, those 2 posts, will be archived. What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads they reside in, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 2 to 6 months, the Threads will be locked, so no responses can be entered. But the Threads will not disappear.
Threads in heavily trafficked Forums, may be archived more rapidly than those in areas, with less activity.
The Topics that you started using the old account, will show your Old Alias, in the Author field of a main forum page, but eventually, readers will have to keep going to the succeeding pages to view them.
If someone were to do a Discussions Search, using these parameters:
Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories
Restrict by Date Range: All
Restrict by Username: Your Old Alias
all of your posts, created since about 11/13/05, would be found.
To create a new account,
Log out of Discussions. You also may have to delete the Apple Cookies in your browser preferences, but I'm not sure this is necessary. Then follow either of these instructions.
-How Do I Create My Account?
If you haven't signed up for an Apple ID for the Apple Store or AppleCare Support website (or forgot your old one), you can create a new account on the My Info webpage. Just click the "create one" link on the right side of the My Info page. Choose your country location and preferred language from the appropriate pop-up menus, then click Create Account. In the resulting page, enter a unique name (such as your email address) in the Apple ID field and fill in your other relevant information accordingly (fields marked with * are required). Click Continue to complete the process.

How can I creat 4 columns?

How can I creat 4 columns? I want a check box, text field for details, and a second column of each.

You can create fields side by side by clicking the "+" sign on the right edge of a field (when it is selected), you can certainly add the fields you describe all in a row. FormsCentral doesn't have the concept of columns, but you can lay it out so you have those fields in a column type layout.
You might want to adjust the label position for the fields to get the layout you desire, you can define the label position per field in the Properties panel for the field.
Note that you can also drag/drop fields into position. Click/drag on the far left edge of a field to drag, a blue insertion marker will show you where it will be dropped when you let go.
Thanks,

How can i make hidden column in JTable

hi, how can i make hidden column in JTable,
basically i have a ID field in JTable, i have to use this ID , but i also dont want to show this ID in JTable.
any idea how ??

staiji its not working
i did this :
first :
TableColumnModel columnModel =
usersTable.getColumnModel();TableColumn column =
columnModel.getColumn(1);
usersTable.removeColumn(column);
then when i trying to get this :
Integer userId =
(Integer)usersTable.getValueAt(UserBrowser.this.usersTa
le.getSelectedRow(), 0);
it not give me ID column's value .
i have a column in JTable like :
ID | Username | First name | Last name
i want to hide ID column , but get this ID's value
when user clicks on JTable row.Hi, if you would read the documentation about JTable.getValueAt(...) you will find, that there is a significant difference between this method and the datamodels getValueAt(...) method. JTables getValueAt(...) method interprets column-index as index in its TableColumnModel - in your TableColumnModel there is no column any longer that holds ID values, therefore you were not able to get it by JTable.getValueAt(...). Do not use these methods for the purpose you want it for - you will also get the wrong values, if the user has repositioned columns - the column index is always interpreted as index in the currently used TableColumnModel and IS NOT A MODELINDEX.
