How to select multiple cells on a spreadsheet (online diary) without click and drag or shift and arrow keys as iPad has neither :(

Hey guys really annoyed as I got my I pad with main reason of being able to update my online diary which is basically a spreadsheet, but I can't select more than one cell to book out a time slot, dragging just tees up the copy function and without arrow keys cannot shift and highlight, coming from windows wandering if this function is done another way on macs? Any help would be appreciated as I'm thinking only way is to get the wireless keyboard which has arrow keys but kind of defeats the point of iPad.
Thanks in advance ;)

I guess I should state how much of a newbie I am.
I did take a summer Java course at a community college this summer and I have some other programming experience (mostly Matlab).
The course covered a lot of the language but it wasn't exhaustive. We covered (in no particular order) Arrays, Interfaces, overloading, inheritance, loops, actionlisteners, Layout managers, exceptions (a little) One thing that we really didn't get into were packages.
We did some GUI design, but not a whole lot.
The programming that I do with Matlab is very similar to C. (i.e. highly procedural not Object Oriented) so I think that's where some of my stumbling blocks are. I feel pretty comfortable reading Java code and using the API (sort of) but I didn't even know that 2D intersections existed.
I have just started using eclipse last week. My previous coding was just done with textpad, so I am trying to get used to compiling code and building projects (and .jars) with an IDE.
Thank you for the tips. I am going to keep looking around and see what I can find.

How do i select multiple cells in numbers or iPad?

Hello,
can you help me? I do not find out how to select multiple cells in a table that do not stand next to each other.
For example, I want to select cells A1, A3, A9 and so on. Afterwards I want to change the colour.
Do you have an idea? Perhaps it's quite simple but I don't find the solution
Sorry, I'm no native english speaker. I hope you'll understand what I am looking for.

HI Ritscho
I do not beleive this is possible, I can see other threads here from 2 years ago asking the same thing and none of them have answers.
You can selesct a range of adjacent cells as Eric said, but not 2 different ranges. I usually use numbers on the iPad for filling in template spreadsheets that I create on my Mac. Most of the formatting I do on the Mac then fill in the blanks whilst i'm out and about.
Not the answer you were looking for but hope it helps.

How can I select multiple cells in tableview with javafx only by mouse?

I have an application with a tableview in javafx and i want to select multiple cells only by mouse (something like the selection which exists in excel).I tried with setOnMouseDragged but i cant'n do something because the selection returns only the cell from where the selection started.Can someone help me?

For mouse drag events to propagate to nodes other than the node in which the drag initiated, you need to activate a "full press-drag-release gesture" by calling startFullDrag(...) on the initial node. (See the Javadocs for MouseEvent and MouseDragEvent for details.) Then you can register for MouseDragEvents on the table cells in order to receive and process those events.
Here's a simple example: the UI is not supposed to be ideal but it will give you the idea.

How to select multiple values from the parameters in BI Publisher report

How to select multiple values from the parameter drop down in BI Publisher, and how to handle this mulitple values from the report sql...

Hi kishore,
I have used all the steps as you mentioned in your previous reply....including checking Mulitple Selection Check Box..
Iam able to get the results when I am selecting one value..
and also I am able to handle multiple values the in the query by using IN :Parameter, but seems when we select more than one value from the parameter drop down i think the Bi Publisher is sending the values in concatenated form something ilke
ex: "'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'" ,and when trying to display the parameters values in the output, its throwing the error as 'missing right paranthesis' ....on the whole do you have any solution which would handle
1.Single selection.
2.Multiple selection.
3.'ALL' Values.
4.Separating the concatenated string into individual strings and dispaly them on the output of the report..etc..in case of Mulitple selection.
Ex:
Concatenated String from BI Publisher:"'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'"
Expected Output on the report:ACCOUNT,HR,SALES
reply to this would be much appreciated....
thanks,
manoj

How to select multiple values from the Parameters in the concurrent program

How to select multiple values from the Parameters defined in the concurrent program...and i believe multiple selection is not a direct feature of EBS, but is there any workaround solution to acheive mulitple selection?

I think there's no way to do that using standard feature.
Some workaround I use :
1. If the number of selections are fixed, you could use multiple parameters for the same valueset. For example :
Selection1 : <choose first selection>
Selection2: <choose 2nd selection>
..etc.
If you don't use it then leave it empty.
2. Use text varchar valueset and enter it manually and separate by comma (or other value) , eg : selection1,selection2,selection3....etc.

in layout structure you will find field SEL_MODE
pass :
LS_LAYOUT-SEL_MODE = 'A'.
In PAI.

Hope these will solve your problem.

-Sandip

Rashmi/Kukku,
First of all, Thanks for your help!
Is there any other way in which we can access tables other than using BAPIs or RFCs?
In my case, there is a table structure which has to be updated with values after validating a key. i don't think there is any RFC available now. do i need to create bapi/rfc for that?

How to select multiple recipients in iPad mail

I have read that I can't create groups, but how to select multiple recipients in iPad mail?
I was looking for this when setting up for two new people who are going to have the iPad as their only device.. and they do need to email a bunch of people at once..
I was sending out the 'I have a new email address' BCC for them.
Thanks.

You can select multiple contacts by tapping on the + sign in the upper right corner in the To: field when you are typing a new email. Just keep tapping the + sign and your contacts will pop up in a window. Select the contact that you want to add, repeat the process in order to add as many recipients as you want.
There are other mail apps that let you creat groups and email to those groups.

I am sure there are other, but those are two that I know of.

Does anyone know how to select multiple files in photoshop cs6 on macbook pro lion

I'm new to Mac operating system. Can anyone tell me how to select multiple images in cs6 photoshop? Without having to hold down a shift or cmd key and clicking on each one.

I assume you are using the Shape tool to draw your hexagons. After you drag out the shape, use the Transform controls to tweak the size, so that the width is evenly divisible by 4, and the height is an even number. If you wand a gap between shapes, include that in your adjustments. Make a note of the new width and height.
Once the scaling is committed and the shape is selected, Control+Alt+T to Free Transform Copy, and in the Option Bar, set the X and Y to Relative. Set X to zero, and Y to the height you set earlier, and commit the Transform. Then Repeatedly press Shift+Control+Alt+T to make more transformed copies.
With a vertical column of shapes, Alt-Click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel to select the whole path. Control+Alt+T again. This time, again using relative, set X to three-quarters of the width you noted earlier, and Y to one-half the height, and commit
Finally, again Alt-click on the Shape Path in the Paths panel, and Transform Copy relative with X = one and a half times the width you noted, and Y to zero. After committing this, Shift+Control+Alt+T as above to extend more columns.
And JJ, those are Octagons .

How to select multiple clips???

I am a very avid iMovie user and now this new version has me so confused. I have the basics down, but I can't figure out how to select all clips and dump them into the "timeline" area. I can select them one at a time and place them in the assembly area but that takes forever on a one hour soccer game. Anyone figure out how to select multiple clips or all clips at once?
Thanks ahead of time.

Weird seeing this question today after I dealt with this yesterday. I did a movie yesterday that was multiple clips. I was able to select all clips at once and drag the entire thing up to the top window. I just tried to do the same thing again after reading this question and for the life of me, it will no longer allow me to click and drag to select them all. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that all 10 or so clips I was able to highlight before, were all parts of the same clip when filmed (they were split into individual segments when imported). When I try to combine two clips that are not filmed sequentially, it will no longer allow it. The help menu says nothing about this. All it says is you need to click on the first clip and hold the mouse down and drag it to the end and it will select all. That is not working.

How to select multiple items in ListView?

Is it possible to select multiple items (rows) in ListView? I'm able
to select only one item at a time.
I'm running Forte 30F2 on Windows NT 4.0.
Thanks in advance,

Ramarao,
I talked to Forte support about this recently and they had nothing but
bad news.
They said that you cannot select multiple rows in a listview, and that
this is a
feature that will be in the next release ( release 4 ).
I then asked if it was possible for me to highlight a row manually ( and
do the multiple
select myself ), and they said that also wasn't possible. This is due
to the fact that
there are no displaynode properties that effect display attributes (
like font or color ).
They suggested that I try changing the smallicon to show rows that have
been 'selected'.
In other words, when you ctrl-click on any particular row, you could put
an icon at the
beginning of a row that shows that this row has been clicked on.
I'm still working on this myself, so I will keep you posted.
