  • How to make a SELECT LIST READONLY

    Hi,
    I have a form to update the existing values in a table. Primary column is based on a Select List.
    So when user goto update screen they SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE the primary filed(means the value display in the Select List).
    SO to make this one I have make that select list read only. But not like other items even when we make select list read only it still allow user to change the value. So basically read only property not working for select text.
    There are many post in this regading same issue. Some of them recomended to make it disabled. But when we make a item disabled then when user POST that form, Apex not POST any disabled item values. Basically disabled items values not passing next form. So making item dissable also not a solution.
    I have read almost 20 post in here regarrding this and didnt get any solution for this. So please let me know if anyone knows how to make a select list read only (which is working same as read only text boxes, means that value pass when user POST the form).
    Thanks in advance...

    You define a function(this is based aorund jQuery selectors) in the page header like
    <script>
      var makereadonly = function(selector, makeReadonly) {
          $(selector).filter("select").each(function(i){
              var select = $(this);
              //remove any existing readonly handler
              if(this.readonlyFn) select.unbind("change", this.readonlyFn);
              if(this.readonlyIndex) this.readonlyIndex = null;
              if(makeReadonly) {
                  this.readonlyIndex = this.selectedIndex;
                  $(this).css('background-color','#CDCDCD'); //Adds a background colour to readonly item
                  this.readonlyFn = function(){
                      this.selectedIndex = this.readonlyIndex;
                  select.bind("change", this.readonlyFn);
          //For input items
          $(selector).filter("input,textarea").attr('readOnly','readOnly');
          $(selector).filter("input,textarea").css('background-color','#CDCDCD');
    </script>and apply it using a jQuery selector (call it in the "execute on page load" or any other JS code)
      makereadonly('#ITEMNAME1,#ITEMNAME2,#ITEMNAME3',true);Not that all of these methods(that act at the client side) will only prevent the user from modifying it 'normally', they could manipulate these readonly items using Javascript(or using firebug or any tool like that). So its better to make sure that your don't use the item value(from the page) for processing.

    Do you mean displaying a multi-select enabled select list as a drop-down list rather than as a list box? If so, this is not possible using standard APEX/web browser controls.

  • How to make a select list to return value to numeric column?

    I do have a select list with static values (STATIC:01;0,02;1,03;2,04;3,05;4,06;5,07;6,08;7,09;8,10;9). The problem is that I am returning a value to a numeric column. Therefore I have set 'Post Calculation Computation' as "to_number(:P73_MRGRATING, 9);" however I am getting ORA-01722: invalid number. How, (or when and where) to properly convert a character from a select list representing a numeric value into column of NUMBER data type?
    Thank you for your time.
    DanieD

    Sergio,
    It is because I am not able convert a value in a page item (:P73_ID) to number. On a page before, I have assigned a value to an application item (APPL_ID). On page 73, I want to assign the value in APPL_ID to the page item P73_ID . The value assigned to APP_ID is numeric. On a page 73 I also have a computation in Page processing section. It is an 'After Submit' processing of a static assignment of application item APPL_ID to page item P73_ID. Unfortunately it does not work. (ORA-01722: invalid number). I have tested this also with a 'Post Calculation Computation' on page item P73_ID (to_number(:P73_ID, 9999999999);) and I am still getting ORA... error. Only way I can make it work is to create a page item P73_ID as a text field, then when I run page 73 and enter a value into P73_ID manually - then it works and I can save the values from the form into database...
    The strange thing is that I am using application item APPL_ID on a couple of pages, in where clauses and it always works, even when I am comparing APPL_ID against a numeric value like select * from a_table where some_number = :APPL_ID, this works. But when I would like to create an entry form and assign application item APPL_ID to the page item P73_ID that is referencing a numeric table column – then I am getting ORA-01722…
    Is there any application (sample application) that is doing this and it works so I can check it and learn how to create this process appropriately?
    Thank you for your time.

  • How to make dynamic select list with time interval of 15 minutes

    Dear all,
    I've a question. I need a select list that contains time with intervals of 15 minutes from 08:00 till 16:00.
    example 8:00
    8:15
    8:30
    8:45
    9:00
    9:15
    and so on till 16:00
    The values or stored in a varchar column.
    Can someone please help me with this one?
    Best regards,
    Caroline

    I think the easiest way would be to create a table "INTERVALS" with one row and column "INT_PERIOD"? per 15 minute period description
    8:00
    8:15
    16:00
    Then create your select list item based on a Dynamic List, or Query as
    SELECT int_period d, int_period r
    FROM INTERVALS
    ORDER BY INT_PERIODYou could write something to load the table, but that might take about as long to just edit in the values.
    Making it a Dynamic LOV, you then have it available anywhere else you might need it.

  • How to make a hierarchical list of file/folders like in the Finder

    Hi,
    I have a hard drive that I'm going to use as a safety backup. I've filled it with files and folders and am going to store it off site. I'd like to retain a list of what I've got on there, for reference.
    I can make a complete list of what's on there, with UNIX 'ls -R', but it's huge and you can't encapsulate the folders, it just lists everything. I need a document that reproduces the list of files and folders in the same way that the finder does. Is there any program that does that?
    Thanks
    Bob

    I've seen third-party backup utilities that provide that sort of catalogue interface, but I can't name any off hand.
    Yep, I even used to have one, way back in OS 7 thru 8.6 on my 8600. I think it was something from Iomega, they used to give you several free tools, and I believe a catalogue maker was one of them. I think it broke with some version of OS 9, and I got a shareware program called DiskTracker. Both did exactly what is wanted: they would catalog any sort of disk, be it drive, removable media (I had a bunch of Syquest EZDrive cartrides), even CDs. You would open the file in the program, and navigate just like in the Finder. Don't remember just how much information was preserved about files.
    Try going to VersionTracker, and do a search on disk inventory or catalog software, I'm sure there are still such things around, though I doubt they would be free.

  • Any idea how to make "To Do List" to alert me when the time is ripe for me

    to carry out certain task? alot of handphones can but not iphone???

    The iPhone lacks *any* native To Do list management. To use native functionality to do what you want, use the calendar. Or you can use the alarm clock if you don't need to sync it with your PC.
    There are a large number of ToDo list management applications in the App store. I don't know if the prohibition against these apps running in the background means they can't set alarms; you'll have to check the various applications and look for that functionality.

    Hi,
    the tree component has changed compared to 10.1.3. You no longer have a tableSelectmany component that renders as checkboxes. Instead you use the ctrl key and select the table rows
