How to influence the op-direction of combobox

Hi guys,
All my comboboxes are opening in the direction up.
Is there a way to influence the opening-direction of a
combo-box, so I can set this to "down"?
Thnx!

How to get the selectedIndex from a combobox made by classFactory?

Dear All,
I am trying to get the selectedIndex or selecetedItem.banda_id when changing a combobox that is created by classFactory and it is inside a datagrid.
The code I have is:
MXML:
<mx:DataGrid width="100%" height="100%" id="salas_fin_dg" editable="true">
 <mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Titulo" dataField="titulo" editable="false" width="250"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Data" dataField="start_dt" editable="false"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Dur" dataField="duration" editable="false" width="40"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Banda" dataField="banda_nome" editable="true" itemEditor="{combofac}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ Ensaio" dataField="total_ensaio" editable="true" itemEditor="controls.NumericInput"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ Bar" dataField="total_bar" editable="true" itemEditor="controls.NumericInput"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ Loja" dataField="total_loja" editable="true" itemEditor="controls.NumericInput"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ CC" dataField="total_cc" editable="true" itemEditor="controls.NumericInput"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ CH" dataField="total_ch" editable="true" itemEditor="controls.NumericInput"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ DI" dataField="total_di" editable="true" itemEditor="controls.NumericInput"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="$ Pend" dataField="total_pend" editable="true" itemEditor="controls.NumericInput"/>
 </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
Script:
private function getSalasFinHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
salas_fin_lst = new ArrayCollection(event.result as Array);
salas_fin_dg.dataProvider = salas_fin_lst;
myservice.getBandas();
combofac=new ClassFactory(ComboBox);
 combofac.properties={dataProvider:bandas_lst, labelField:"banda_nome", prompt:"Selecione"};
I am using Remote Object to get the data from a DB, and it is working properly.
As I will update the datagrid cell values, I would like to update them on the DB.
In order to do that, I would need to access the banda_id value, that is part of the combofac dataprovider, I mean that this dataprovider has 2 columns, being banda_nome and banda_id.
The question is how to get the banda_id value, when I change the comobobox?
Many thanks in advance,
Gines

Dear harUI and kolinitcom,
Thanks for the your prompt response and guidelines.
I went to research a little bit more on the itemEditEnd and found a way to access the data inside the combobox.
The code for all application goes below. If you click on the button, it will show you all the datagrid data, plus the ID of the combobox when changed.
Thanks again,
Gines

How to print the report directly without previewing (report viewer) using c# windows application

Hi,
Currently, we are using crystal report to all of our reporting applications, but since I/users have encountered some issues about CR's speed to load only a simple report, maybe it is now time for us to adopt a new reporting environment in which I think SSRS
can fill this problem.
To start with, I have here a sample code, that uses the crystal report to print the report directly without previewing:
csCashInvoiceCal csCashCal; --Crystal report name .rpt
dsCsReceipt dsCs; --created dataset
DataTable u;
DataRow s;
private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDocument1;
private System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog printDialog1;
ParameterValues paramValue;
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteValue;
ParameterFieldDefinition fieldDefinition;
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt2();
print2();
csCashCal.Close();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
private void loadReceipt2()
dsCs = new dsCsReceipt(); --created dataset
u = dsCs.Tables.Add("DtCsReceipt");
u.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
s = u.NewRow(); double.TryParse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Discount2.Name].Value.ToString(), out discount);
s["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
s["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
s["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
s["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
s["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
s["Discount"] = "";
s["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
u.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
csCashCal = new csCashInvoiceCal();
csCashCal.SetDataSource(dsCs.Tables[1]);
//csCashCal.Refresh();
loadParameter2();
private void loadParameter2()
ParameterFieldDefinitions paramFieldDefinitions;
paramValue = new ParameterValues();
discreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
paramFieldDefinitions = csCashCal.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
discreteValue.Value = date;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["Date"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtcsno.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["InvoiceNo"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtNameTo.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerName"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtAdd.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerAddress"];
commonParam();
------other parameters----
private void commonParam()
paramValue.Clear();
paramValue.Add(discreteValue);
fieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(paramValue);
private void print2()
using (printDocument1 = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument())
using (this.printDialog1 = new PrintDialog())
//this.printDialog1.UseEXDialog = true;
this.printDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;
DialogResult dr = this.printDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
int nCopy = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies;
int sPage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.FromPage;
int ePage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.ToPage;
string PrinterName = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
try
csCashCal.PrintOptions.PrinterName = PrinterName;
csCashCal.PrintToPrinter(nCopy, false, sPage, ePage);
printcount++;
//saveCountPrint();
catch (Exception err)
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString());
This is only a simple sales receipt application that uses dgv and textboxes to push its data to dataset to the crystal report, a simple one but there are instances that it is very slow.
But I'm having trouble implementing this using SSRS, since I'm only new to this one, wherein I created the report using report wizard, with two button options inside the form for print preview or direct print selection. Actually, it is very easy to implement
with print preview because it uses reportviewer. My problem is that how can I print the report directly without using a reportviewer?
So here is my code so far which I don't know what's next:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt3();
//print3();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
ReportParameter[] parameter = new ReportParameter[11];
private void loadParameter3()
parameter[0] = new ReportParameter("InvoiceNo", txtcsno.Text);
parameter[1] = new ReportParameter("Date", date);
parameter[2] = new ReportParameter("CustomerTin", txtTin.Text);
parameter[3] = new ReportParameter("CustomerName", txtNameTo.Text);
parameter[4] = new ReportParameter("CustomerAddress", txtAdd.Text);
parameter[5] = new ReportParameter("Agent", agent);
parameter[6] = new ReportParameter("Discount", "Discount: ");
parameter[7] = new ReportParameter("TotalDiscount", lblDiscount.Text + "%");
parameter[8] = new ReportParameter("TotalSales", rdtotal);
parameter[9] = new ReportParameter("Tax", rdtax);
parameter[10] = new ReportParameter("TotalAmount", rdnet);
private void loadReceipt3()
DataSet dsrs = new DataSet();
DataTable dtrs = new DataTable();
DataRow drs;
dtrs.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
drs = dtrs.NewRow();
drs["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
drs["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
drs["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
drs["Discount"] = "";
drs["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
dtrs.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
int addtlRow = 7;
if (addtlRow > (count - 1))
addtlRow = addtlRow - (count - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < addtlRow; i++)
dtrs.Rows.Add();
loadParameter3();
LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
localreport.SetParameters(parameter);
localreport.DataSources.Clear();
localreport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("dsSalesReceiptSsrs", dtrs));
localreport.Refresh();
//what's next....
So what's next after local..refresh()? Actually, I have googled a lot but I didn't found the exact solution that I'm looking for which confuses me a lot.
Anyway I'm using VS 2010 with sql server 2012 express.
You're help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

After some further studies with ReportViewer controls and with the use of this tutorial @ : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091.aspx, which helps me a lot on how to print a report without using a report viewer, I found out what is missing

Planning Workflow (9.3.1): how to influence the view of an enduser?

Hi all,
In Planning (9.3.1) Workflow the administrator and planner views are quite different. Where the administrator sees a nice top-down approach when opening Workflow (in other words: an administrator can navigate from generation 0 down into the entity dimension) a planner always sees the level 0 members. All of them… which is not very handy.
How can we influence the way a planner (=account with role “planner”) sees his part of the Workflow? Now, if a planner has to see multiple departments, he can see 100s of cost centers in Planning, while just viewing and influencing the highest level depending on a person’s actual security (for instance a department as a whole) would be enough already.
There must be some place where this can be influenced within Planning, but we can’t find it in the documentation or in the standard interfaces of the Planning administration site.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
some FM elements always need special treatment. This is true for graphics (objects), cross links and tables especially.
The EDD can do lots of things, but is also limited in doing others.
There are also different ways to reach a goal, depending on your preferences.
Some things have to be done in the template, some things need to be done in the EDD, others need to be done in the RWR.
It always depends on what you have as given input, how good your skills at certain things are, how consistent your input is or how the general workflow is laid out.
The best way to learn structured FM is to take a look on existing EDDs, DTDs, RWR and templates.
Check out how other people solved those problems. See if the same way works for you.
In your special case, my solution was the quick and dirty one. But there could have been another solution.
You could have wrapped your reference within a font formatting tag (such as or in DITA/HTML) and add the font properties there.
But introducing a font tag usually has influence on your XML input/output.
This means you would need to either get this information already within the XMl source, add it with XSLT on import (remove on export), redefine your structure or use FM scripting.
As you see, there are many ways leading to the desired output - it just depends on your special case, what is best for you.

How to influence the substitution workitem list in the inbox?

Hi gang,
Do you have an idea if there is a simple way to filter the work item list offered for an agent in his inbox? BADI preferably, 'nice' modification (enhancement spot?) in the worst case.
I got a requirement, that for some work items the substitution should be disabled (not some tasks but some work items!!!).
The whole scenario: SRM PO approval workflow. There are two different approval step types (lets name them preliminary and real). Approval task is the same (SRM standard). Approvers maintain the active substitution for the preliminary approval steps. However; this must not influence the real approval that cannot be delegated.
Message was edited by:
Michal Klemba

This would be to easy
Imagine the agent A has 5 orders to approve as a preliminary and another 10 to approve as a real. He maintains an agent B as his active substitute. Than the agent B should see... only 5 work items of agent A.
Regards,
Michal

How to influence the rowheight in excel output

Hello all,
I am using the BI publisher desktop so I use RTF to build my template.
the desired output is excel.
I have in other templates some tables where cells automatically adjust to the size of the cell. But didn't know how I did this (I thought this was normal)
now I want to do this again in a new template and I don't have this functionallity anymore and the cell is just as big as I made it initially...
Can anyone help me out on this?

Hi,
Standard RTF table properties for autosizing and fixing table column/row/cell width/height should apply. At the time of RTF creation you don't necessarily have data representative of the size of the data you're going to get when you run the report. And using autosize to fix the width at design time will be impacted by the presence both your form fields and lack of data. So you probably do want autosized columns especially for Excel/HTML where output is not "pagesize" restricted.
Anyway, I digress, I thought I'd try to get BI Publisher (5.6.3) to put in an "auto" width or column-width for specific columns:
- tried using Word autosize - didn't work
- tried using xsl attributes (column-width) but BI Publisher seemed to ignore it.
Then strangely enough autosize worked in one of my test cases!
So here are the steps I used to get autosize with Excel consistently working:
If you are creating a new table:
1a. Table, Insert, Table, choose your number of columns/rows and choose the Autofit to Contents option (or the Fixed Column Width: Auto) option
Or if you want to autosize an existing table
1b. Select your table and go to Table, Table Properties, Cell tab and uncheck the "Preferred Width" checkbox - and in Row tab uncheck specify height
2. After the table you want appearing on your output insert another "dummy" autosize table (as per 1a), but with just 1 row, 1 column and make remove the border so it doesn't appear.
See if it works!
PS. would be excellent if Tim sees this, me thinks might be a gremlin in the code ;-)

How to provide the data directly for the report using web service

Hi all,
I'm trying to execute a report from the webservice API (using BIP version 10.1.3.4) and want to provide the report with a pre-fetched data set. According to the Dev-Guide, I should use element /ReportRequest/reportData for this, but I can't find a proper example illustrating this use case. The problem is that I don't know how to enter my data set into the element. My data set is xml (text) while the data type of the reportData element is base64binary.
I've tried something like the following, but without any success:
...<reportData>
 <ns1:rowset>
 <ns1:row>
 <ns1:emp>
 <ns1:name>
 </ns1:emp>
 </ns1:row>
 </ns1:rowset>
 </reportData>
...Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
H

Hello,
Thanks for your answer, the situation is a little different from what you describe.
We make a call to BI Publisher via a Web Service (PublicReportService) via the ReportRequest operation.
The report we call contains a query to a database.
When we do not include XML in the reportData field then the report data is obtained from the Database and the report result is returned via the Web Service.

When, however, we include XML data in the reportData field, then we see that ONLY the XML data in the reportData field is used, and NOT data from the Database.

How to change the font direction?

There are many titlewindows in my application, so I have to lay out them in order.
I wanna change the panel size, position, and the direction of panel title in order to display the title readability when the titlewindow is vertical.
But I can't find a wish way to change the direction of the title.

Not sure what you mean, but there aren't any styles or properties that will change the position of the title in Panel. You might need to create your own component.

[SOLVED]how to reverse the scroll direction on my trackpoint?

I have a trackpoint on my thinkpad. For various reasons I have had to set it up again today and used this in xorg.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc.$
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
It works fine except for one thing: pulling down on the trackpoint while scrolling causes it to scroll up. I would rather it scrolled down to follow my downwards movement. Does anyone know how I can reverse it?
Edit: Found out the problem. Apparently, Unity likes to fiddle with this setting...

Nevermind, got my Google-fu on and the package was xorg-xev. It recognized when I moved the knob.
Here's the volume raise code:
KeyPress event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
root 0xc6, subw 0x0, time 8056414, (56,97), root:(540,575),
state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
And the volume lower:
KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,
root 0xc6, subw 0x0, time 8054284, (56,97), root:(540,575),
state 0x0, keycode 122 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False

Re: how to influence the rowheight in excel output

I tried to use dummy table with one row and column around the existing table with data. The properties were set as 'Autofit to Contents option' for both tables.
For both tables, i specified - Table, Table Properties, Cell tab and uncheck the "Preferred Width" checkbox - and in Row tab uncheck specify height.
Still i see that in Excel output, the row height is increased since data is large enough to fit in one cell. Can someone help me understand if iam doing anything wrong here.
Thank you.

Hi,
Standard RTF table properties for autosizing and fixing table column/row/cell width/height should apply. At the time of RTF creation you don't necessarily have data representative of the size of the data you're going to get when you run the report. And using autosize to fix the width at design time will be impacted by the presence both your form fields and lack of data. So you probably do want autosized columns especially for Excel/HTML where output is not "pagesize" restricted.
Anyway, I digress, I thought I'd try to get BI Publisher (5.6.3) to put in an "auto" width or column-width for specific columns:
- tried using Word autosize - didn't work
- tried using xsl attributes (column-width) but BI Publisher seemed to ignore it.
Then strangely enough autosize worked in one of my test cases!
So here are the steps I used to get autosize with Excel consistently working:
If you are creating a new table:
1a. Table, Insert, Table, choose your number of columns/rows and choose the Autofit to Contents option (or the Fixed Column Width: Auto) option
Or if you want to autosize an existing table
1b. Select your table and go to Table, Table Properties, Cell tab and uncheck the "Preferred Width" checkbox - and in Row tab uncheck specify height
2. After the table you want appearing on your output insert another "dummy" autosize table (as per 1a), but with just 1 row, 1 column and make remove the border so it doesn't appear.
See if it works!
PS. would be excellent if Tim sees this, me thinks might be a gremlin in the code ;-)
