How To Highlight A Row

Hi.
I'm using Apex 4.2.0 against Oracle 11gR2 and using mod_plsql. I'm searching for a good way to highlight a row (both the text and the background) in a report (both Classical and Interactive) when clicking an edit icon in the row and to preserve the highlighting as a way to give users context as they look at other regions, say, a form on the same page.
I've seen solutions for this: everything from placing calls to a Javascript function within a custom report template to using css styles. Unfortunately, thus far, these all fall short in that they "work" for only certain Apex themes or when using certain browsers. If users look at my app in IE 9, they see the row highlighted. But in Firefox 14, it is not. Or if a developer changes the theme, the highlighting may or may not work.
Does anyone know of a method that just plain works for any Apex theme and for any modern browser (IE 9+, Firefox 15+, Chrome, etc.). I sure would appreciate pointers to working code.
Thank you.
Elie

How to highlight the row from the JTable then remove

hi !!
i'm using an abstract model in making a table....
and having a button up and down and delete also!!
how can i highlight the row when i click down and up!!!
and when selected or highlighted i can press the button delete ...
then the data is removed!!!
pls... i need it!!
tnx...

Table row selection should take care of it. By default table rows can be selected.
The getSelectionModel() method on the JTable gives you access to the row selection model. You can set that either to allow one at a time or multiple selection, and when your delete button is pressed, you access that selection model to decide which rows to delete.
Add a ListSelectionListener so you can enable or disable your delete button as rows are selected or deselected. JTable will take care of the highlighting.

How to highlight selected row in a region ? ? ?

Hi There!
I have two regions Region1 and Region2. Region2 data is populated when I select a row in Region1.
Now I have Region1 and Region2 data on the same page, but I cant exactly tell which row in Region1 corresponds the data in Region2.

So was wondering if any one of you know a easy to understand and implement a solution for this problem.

How to highlight a row in tree table - jdev 11.1.2

Hello:
Given a key, I want to highlight (select/set currency) the corresponding row in a tree table. I thought the following code would highlight the row in the tree table that corresponds to the key, but nothing is highlighted in the tree table. ie---> treeTable.setSelectedRowKeys(selectedRowKeys); What am I doing wrong? Thanks much.
public String cb1_action() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Next");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer) getBindings();
DCIteratorBinding iter = (DCIteratorBinding) bc.findIteratorBinding("DDF1Iterator");
RowKeySet selectedRowKeys = new RowKeySetImpl();
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
Row r = iter.getCurrentRow();
Key k = r.getKey();
list.add(k);
selectedRowKeys.add(list);
treeTable.setSelectedRowKeys(selectedRowKeys);
AdfFacesContext adfc = AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
adfc.addPartialTarget(treeTable);
}

Hello:
Do you mean setting the selectedRowKeys in the setter method of the treeTable in the Request Scoped Managed Bean?
If that is what you mean, I tried that and there was no change in behavior. (Still does not highlight the correct row in the tree table upon execution of the next method for the bindings) Does anyone have any sample code they can provide that works?
Thanks for the help.

How to highlight a row in a standard report?

Friends,
Hope you can help.
I need to highlight a row in standard report dependent on some criteria.
Having searched the forum I have been trying to implement the example given here.
This is what I have done:
1) Create a new report using the following query
select decode(deptno, 10, 'class1', 20, 'class2', 30, 'class3') trclass , ename, job, sal, comm from emp
2) Created a new Report Row Template from scratch and added the details given in the example above.
3) Placed the CSS Style sheet code in the stylesheet box at the following location:
Shared Components>Cascading Style Sheets>Edit Cascading Style Sheet
3) Ran the page
4) Employee report is displayed but nothing is highlighted.
What have I done wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help given (which of course will be marked helpful\correct!)

How to highlight a row in IR based on User Name

Hi,
What is the best way to highlight a row in a IR, based on User Name. ie APP_USER.
Suppose if a APP_USER log in to the application, the row in the IR corresponding to the APP_USER should alone be highlighted.
(Edit button is not visible in the IR)

Hi,
APP_USER value is uppercase. Your name column values are lowercase.
Example code that I did post string comparison is case sensitive.
I did change your example dynamic action JavaScript to convert cell value to upper case
this.affectedElements.find('table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="NAME"]').each(function(i){
    var lThis=$(this);
    if(lThis.text().toUpperCase()=="&APP_USER."){
        lThis.parent().children().css({"background-color":"#55A955"});
});Now it should work

Any ideas on what would cause this NOT to work? I added this row right after the table is created and populated and it is still not highlighted when I enter the form. The snippet of code that does this is:
MyTableModel modelS = (MyTableModel)dataModel.get("S");
jTable1 = new JTable(modelS);
jTable1.setRowSelectionInterval(0,0);MyTableModel is this:
class MyTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
public MyTableModel(Object[] columnNames, int numRows) {
    super(columnNames, numRows);
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
    if (TableKey == 'S') {
      if (column == 6) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'O') {
      if (column == 0 || column == 4 || column == 5) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'P') {
      return false;
return true;
}Can anyone help? Thanks.

Does anyone knows how to highlight every other row in numbers mac

Does anyone knows how to highlight every other row in numbers and are there any good tutorials out there???

Hi Lee,
Select a non-header cell in the table.
Open the Inspector and choose the Table Inspector.
Click to check the 'Alternating Row Color' box in the Cell Background section.
Click the Color well beside the check box to open the Color pane.
Choose a colour.
The alternating colours are applied only to the non-header rows and non-header columns in your table.

Possible to highlight a row in text area which in turn would fire an event?

I'm making a GUI of which the main portion consists of a large text area. The text area would list problems that our company is experiencing - each row would represent a problem. Each row would give a problem ID and a description of the problem. I want to make it so that when the user clicks on a row (a problem), another dialog box would open which would present possible solutions to the user regarding the problem at hand. How would I write code to highlight a row which in turn would fire an event opening up another box?
I thought about going about this another way - have a drop down (jcombobox) integrated into each row which the user can choose from but I'm not sure if you can insert a drop down into a text area (and neatly into a row at that!) so I think the former way may be preferable.
Thanks in advance.

Paul

If a java application is required (as opposed to a web-based solution using HTML's linking capabilities) the best approach might be a JList implementation. It could go something like this...
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class ListFrame extends JFrame
   public ListFrame()
      super("JList example frame");
      getContentPane().add(getListPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
      setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      pack();
      setVisible(true);
   private Component getListPanel()
      JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
      final JList list = new JList(new Object[]
         "List option 1...",
         "List option 2...",
         "List option 3..."
      // This will make sure only one item can be checked at a time.
      list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
      // Handle the selection here.
      list.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener()
         public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
            // No need to go on if this was a deselection.
            if (e.getValueIsAdjusting() || list.isSelectionEmpty())
               return;
            // This is where you would have to convert the value that's selected into whatever
            // it is you want to display to the user. This example just puts the text of the
            // selected item into a messagebox.
            Object selectedItem = list.getSelectedValue();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(ListFrame.this, selectedItem);
      list.setVisibleRowCount(5);
      // The scrollpane will control the scrolling of the list (so you can have as many options
      // as you want). Standard JScrollPane functionalities can be used to control various
      // visual aspects of the list.
      JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(list);
      scroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
      panel.add(scroll, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      return panel;
   public static void main(String[] args)
      new ListFrame();
}I know this is quite after-the-fact, but I hope it helps (if you hadn't already solved the problem :) )

How to highlight the repeated records in a BO crystal report?

Hi ,
How to highlight the repeated records in a BO crystal report?
we want to highlight the rows for which account number is same.
thanks
sriram

You don't even need to create a group. Just sort the records on the fields that define "duplicate". Then you can just use
if {field} = PreviousValue({field}) then crYellow else crNoColor
in the format's Background Color formula. This will cause the background to be yellow on duplicates. (If you need to check more than one field in order to determine duplicates, just insert
and {field2} = PreviousValue({field2}
and so on for each field that needs to be checked.
HTH,
Carl

Highlight Current Row

Apex 4.2
Theme 21
I am able to highlight current form fields using get focus and lose focus dynamic actions.
How do I highlight the current row of a tabular form or updateable report.
I have tried using DA with
JQuery Selector tr[headers="FEE"] (column in my report)
Execute Javascript
$x_RowHighlight(this.triggeringElement,'yellow');
Any help appreciated
Gus

Gus ,
you can look at my demo ... ( the one you aked for in my other discussion)
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=53793
demo / demo
when i click on on row of the IR , the text of selected row is set to red .
i m sure that you can use it to highlight your row .
Just remember that when you set for example background-color of a cell, the style of the region may hide what you try to change. I m not sure why but if you disable the region class
your modifications will appears.
