How to check the selected items of a selectManyListbox in doDML of an EO ?

Hello,
I have a VO based on en EO. During the doDML(UPDATE) of that EO, I would like to check what items of a af:selectManyListbox have been selected.
How could I get the checked items in the selectManyListbox (which belongs to the ViewController) in the doDML method of an EO (which belongs to the Model)?
Many thanks

Hello John,
I know I cannot access the component directly. This is why I asked my question.
The real case is rather complex and long to be copied and pasted here.
Let me simplify it without being too generic.
The VO is based on a hierarchical SQL query. All its EO attributes are transient. This VO is shown as a Tree in the page.
Each node of the Tree has a checkBox. During commit (doDML() of the EO to be precise), for each checked node I need to access the selected items of a selectManyListbox in some proper way to perform further operations on the DB (no matter what now). The selectManyListbox is based on a second VO. As you may understand, the problem is that from the EO I don't have a direct access to the selectManyListbox. Also, as far as I know, the VO the selectManuListBox is based on does not have any informations about the selected elements, since the checkBox in the list cannot be associated to the VO. Basically I cannot know what elements have been choosen.
I hope the problem is clear.

How to find the selected item in alv grid or table control

can any one tell me please
how to find the selected item in alv grid or table control

In table control, If you goto screen painter and goto table control properties ( f2 ), there is one check-box w/selColumn check that and give column name. Then add that column to your internal table.
IN PAI
LOOP AT it_tkhdr.
    FIELD it_tkhdr-sel_row
      MODULE tab_tkhdr_mark ON REQUEST.
ENDLOOP.
MODULE tab_tkhdr_mark INPUT.
MODIFY it_tkhdr INDEX tc_tkhdr-current_line.
ENDMODULE.                 " tab_tkhdr_mark INPUT
here it_TKHDR is internal table sel_row is field for selection
After that, you can loop at it_tkhdr where sel_row is 'X' to get selected rows.

How to get the selected items from listbox

Regarding listbox i have two questions
1) I want to get the selected items as per the order in which ihave selected.Presently i'm getting in the ascending order.For example after selcting the 1,2,6 if i select 3 then its giving 1,2,3,6.But i want it in the order 1,2,6,3
2)I want to select items from a single list box to many other listboxes.(ie) my first selection should goto first,second one to the second listbox and like this.How should i write the logic.
please give me a suggestion.

In order to have the selected items line up in accordance to the selection order, please do it one at a time. (That's the limit for that VI)
If you need more than that (i.e. to regconize which item clicked first and which one comes later), you may have to figure it out ya
Wish you good luck. Perhaps, someone else has a already made vi.
Cheers!

How to get the selected item of a ListBox if it's contents are binded data? (Please read)

So, I am making an application in which binds data from a WebClient to a ListBox. Thus, it is needed to understand that I did not create this data, it is from a Web API. So my goal is to be able to click on any of the items in the list box(which are binded
from a web API) and open a pop-up to display more data binded from that specific area.
Example:
The data has been loaded and I click on the 2nd item, well this item is a Metallica concert located in Russia blah blah.. ok, so I press it, it opens a pop up with more info like the date, location, etc...
Info:
I am binding the things in the lost box from and "events" statement, and I want the data in the list box in the pop up to display the selected child item, "event".
Zack Bowling

So are you storing that 'more info data' along with main data(i.e. that metallica concert etc.) somewhere in a List/observableCollection/database etc, if yes then probably it can be fetched directly from that collection.
e.g.
private void listBox_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
var Itemobj = (listboxname.SelectedItem) as ObjectClassname; string datevalue = Itemobj.date; string location = Itemobj.location;
//so using Itemobj you can fetch the properties you want as stored in ObjectClassname.
// Here ObjectClassname is the name of class storing the properties(setter-getter) for the parsed data.

How to check the previous item value in a multirecord block

Oracle Version:10g
Forms Version:10g
Hi all,
Good morning to all,I have a multi-record block in a form where one of the items values is been selected from LOV.user can only select the value from LOV.
If once user selects the value from LOV and moves to the next record of multi-record and again selects the value from LOV,i should not allow users to select the previous value from the user so that duplication of records is avoided.
and important note is that i should achieve this before saving it into the database because once saved in the database i can compare the values and hide the previous value.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

This is a common question in the forum! There are several different solutions. Take a look at the following articles. Both will perform the needed duplicate check.
Forms - Record Group Processing (Duplicate Value Checking...
or
Avoid duplicated records in a block
If neither of these solutions work for you, search the forum for other options.
Hope this helps,

How to Retrieve the Selected Values from selectOrderShuttle using ADF 11g

Hi Every One,
Does anyone has idea how to retrieve the selected Items using shuttle and Order of the items using 'SelectOrderShuttle' component ?
Thanks

shuttle's valuechangeevent would fire when you shuttle items back and forth.
    public void selectOrderShuttle1_valueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
        ArrayList list = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(valueChangeEvent.getNewValue()));
        if (list != null){
            for (int i=0; i<list.size(); i++) {
                int l = list.size()-1;
                val = list.get(l).toString(); //returns , delimited string
                if (val != null){
                    val = val.replaceAll("[\\[\\]]", "");
                    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer (val, ",");
                    int nto = st.countTokens ();
                    for (int j = 0; j < nto; j++)
                        String token = st.nextToken ();
            ..........

How to find out the selected item in the list,can any please post some examples which easy to understand,because iam not a good programmer

This sample program uses a checkbox as selection, you could also use a HOTSPOT.
report zrich_0002 no standard page heading.
data: imara type table of mara with header line.
data: check_box(1) type c,
   report_lines type i.
start-of-selection.
* Create the gui status with BACK button in standard place
* and a READ button in the application toolbar
set pf-status 'CHECK'.
select * into corresponding fields of table imara           from mara up to 100 rows.
loop at imara.
write:/ check_box as checkbox, imara-matnr, imara-matkl.
hide imara-matnr.
endloop.
report_lines = sy-linno - 1.
top-of-page.
write: 'List of materials'. uline.
top-of-page during line-selection. write: 'Material.....'. uline.
at user-command.
case sy-ucomm.
when 'READ'.
check_box = space.
set pf-status 'CHECK' excluding 'READ'.
      do report_lines times.
read line sy-index field value check_box.
   if check_box = 'X'.
write:/ 'You have selected material',
imara-matnr.
endif.
enddo.
endcase.

How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code

See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html

It says
One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back.

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?

How to change the selection background color of the selected item in the popup menu of the choice box ?
By defaut, the selection background color likes "blue", but if I want it to be "yellow" for example, how should I do ?
Thanks

The id is applied by (I think) the skin class of the ChoiceBox. You don't need to define it.
You have to apply the css in an external style sheet. You can apply the external style sheet to any parent of your choice box, or to the scene (the most usual way to do it).
Example:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ChoiceBoxTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
    primaryStage.setTitle("Example 2");
    final ChoiceBox<String> choiceBox = new ChoiceBox<>();
    List<String> tempResult = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
      tempResult.add("Item " + i);
    choiceBox.getItems().setAll(tempResult);
    VBox root = new VBox();
    root.getChildren().add(choiceBox);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
    scene.getStylesheets().add("choiceBox.css");
    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    launch(args);
choiceBox.css:
@CHARSET "UTF-8";
#choice-box-menu-item:focused {
-fx-background-color: yellow ;
#choice-box-menu-item .label {
-fx-text-fill: black ;

Clicking on TOC Item Jumps to Previous Identical Entry. How to highlight the selected one?

Win 7, 64 bit
RH 9 (latest patch)
HtmlHelp (CHM) output
I have many TOC pages that are identical.
For example, in our software some toolbar icons are repeated on different screens. In the built CHM help, if I click on a later identical page reference in our TOC, the TOC automatically jumps focus to the first entry. It doesn't stay on the selected entry.
This causes confusion as all of a sudden the user is in an entirely different context. How can I get it to highlight the selected item and not jump to the first reference?

Hi Jared
Note that this issue is generically related to any help system and isn't a "RoboHelp specific thing". When multiple points in a Table of Contents reference the same page, how is the system supposed to determine exactly which TOC node is the correct one?
The way past this is to create multiple distinct nodes from the TOC to the topic.
One way involves never creating an actual link from the TOC to the topic. Instead, create as many distinct topics as you need in the TOC and have them redirect to the desired topic. The bottom line is that the correct page is presented and the correct TOC node is highlighted.
Another way involves a similar approach. Create distinct topics that simply present an inline frame (IFRAME) that has the single "real" topic.
Yet another way involves another variation. Create a Snippet that is essentially the single entire topic. Then create distinct topics that only contain the snippet.
Hope this helps... Rick

Tree control: How to disable the selection of a child item

Hello everyone,
Im having trouble with disabling the selection of a child item in a tree control. I dont know if its possible but havent found any answers on this forum regarding this issue.
Example:
Parent tag 1
    child item 1
    child item 2
Parent tag 2
    child item a
    child item b
What i would like to do is being able to select the parent tags but not the child items, because i use the name of the selected item in my program to determine which actions are allowed and those that are not. To avoid this problem i look at the first 4 letters of the name and this way i can determine if it is a parent tag or child item and take appropriate action. Im able to do this because the parent tags have fixed names. But even though nothing happens in software if i select a child item it still lights up, so for the user of the program it looks as if the child items is selected but the program doesnt do anything(because i made it that way). Thats why i want to be able to disable the selection of the child item or at least make the selection colour of the child item transparant so it doesnt look like it is selected.
Can anyone help me with this problem, if there are parts of my question you dont understand, just ask.

Muks,
your last image disables the whole tree.
To programmatically disables an item use ActiveItem.Disabled? property.
Unfortunately this only has two states, Enabled and disabled (thus grayed).

The 'selected items' color randomly changes and I can't figure out why.

Hi everybody, I recently upgraded to Firefox 13, which appears to be the most stable browser version so far and I really like it. I have loved Firefox very much, having used it since somewhere between versions 2 and 3.
After upgrading to version 13 I noticed something that annoys me quite a bit. This may have been present before but I can't remember and I did not notice until now.
On my computer (Windows 7 x64 Ultimate) I have set the color of the 'selected items' (specifically text) to be lime green text on a slightly off black background. I chose this color scheme because it blends very well with Firefox itself (I have the NASA night launch theme), Windows Explorer, and many web pages that I have changed to a dark theme (using the Stylish browser extension). This color scheme has excellent contrast in areas with black text on a light background, as well as light text on a dark background. It has served me well.
After upgrading to Firefox 13 I have noticed that if the web page is dark with light text, the 'selected items' color changes to lime green text on a light grey background. (Less frequently, it changes instead to off-black text on a lime green background). I have not been able to isolate the threshold where this change occurs (meaning how dark the website background needs to be /how light the text needs to be for this to happen) nor have I found a solution.
This problem sometimes extends even to sites that have dark text on a light background: when tabs are switched, with no input fields clicked and the address bar is not clicked. This very page (Firefox support) is apparently vulnerable as well.
This problem only happens on rendered web pages. Firefox's menus, buttons and toolbars, as well as all other programs and Windows itself, are unaffected.
I want the 'selected items' to remain as I have set it, and not deviate regardless of the apparent contrast or color scheme of the web page being displayed.
[Edit #1]: Interestingly, as I was copying the information from about:support I noticed that it is affected as well.
Any suggestions? Thanks so much, and I am sorry for the long-winded description. tl;dr look at the pictures.

It is always best to avoid making changes to the selected text colors.<br />
Firefox uses an algorithm to check if the contrast is sufficient and will swap text and background colors if that test fails.<br />
