How to simulate Excel's Drag & Drop in Oracle Forms 5.0

Dear OTN Members,
In my current application, we have to design a tabular block,
and the we have provide the user a push button or some thing so
that the following functionalities are attained :
1. Right Click to copy the whole record.
2. Move to another record by keyboard or scroll bar, and left
clicks to merge the values there with the copied one. After this
the copied column should be deleted or cleared.
3. One key to cancel the copied value(ie Undo key).
Help me with some solution, because this is the important point
in our development.
Thanks

How i can do a drag drop between container (grid)?

I am trying to work out a task with Drag and Drop(WPF ,C#)to include in a demo ,i will explain easy showing an example of code in XAML
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid x:Name="container1" Grid.Row="0" >
<Grid Name="grid1" Background="Aqua" Margin="15"></Grid>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="container2" Grid.Row="1" >
<Grid Name="grid2" Background="blue" Margin="15"></Grid>
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="container3" Grid.Row="2" >
<Grid Name="grid3" Background="green" Margin="15"></Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
My purpose is when the user drag the
grid1 in the
container2 automatically the grid2 will go to place in the
container1 (basically I want to swap the grids) then this process will be used every time need to drag a grid in a container. with a code that i wrote down i can do a simple drag&drop i can drag the "grid1"
to the "container2" but cannot send back automatically the grid2 to container1.
Kindly i ask if you have any advise or tips to make successful this task.
Thank you so much for your attention
Cheers!!!
*********EDIT*********
Using this code as follow i can do the drag&drop but what really i need is the grid "container "is fix and never move just the
"grid" should move between the "container "

Hello Jonny,
Currently I do not have a sample and I have reviewed this post and find another way which seems more reasonable. Have you cosidered use a ListView instead of common grid. It seems we can do what you want with two common grid however we need to hardcoded
all the things.
If we use ListView, for example, you can see this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20573063/creating-icon-view-mode-for-listview-wpf
and this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9443695/how-do-i-drag-drop-items-in-the-same-listview
We can drag and drop items instead of grid, which will make this programming much easier than hard code to switch your control's location.

Barry

How to move items? Drag & Drop but i couldn't move to extreme right

Hi All,
We have one Select List and Button, i want to move both the items to right of the region...,I tried using Drag & Drop but i couldn't move to extreme right..
What i need to do?
Pls help me in this regard,
Thanks,
Anoo..

Hi Anoo,
The layout of items on your page depends on the region template used, and also the attributes of the item e.g. the Horizontal/Vertical Alignment of the Element and Label; the value of ColSpan, RowSpan, etc. By making some small tweaks to your existing region template or item attributes, you can achieve the desired layout. For example, lets say you're working with the "Form Region" HTML region. You can easily modify this template to display the standard cells of the table to the right instead of left, by changing the alignment in the <td> tags, using align="right". This will result in all items being positioned to the right of a region using this template.
You may find it useful to refer to the following related threads on the Application Express forum, which discuss the same topic:
Re: Layout form items
Items positioning
Re: Create a free form Report
I hope this helps.

How to Rearrange components using Drag Drop functionality

Hi,
Is it possible to re-arrange the components inside the form using drag drop functionality in RCF?
There are 3/4 section headers in my screen, user can re-arrange them.
But as per the RCF document it says, "Drag Drop functionality allows users to drag the value of one component and drop it on to another". It dosent say any thing about component drag-drop.

Hi,
there is a componentDragSource element that you use for this. However, persisting the change of location is not handled automatically. I didn't try this, but I assume that using the component drag option gives you access to the UI component itself so you can nest it in another container
Frank
Ps.: the drag event always givey you access to the component. This componentDragSource however shows the component when dragging, which is a slightly better indicator if you plan to re-arrange items

Drag & drop solution - submit form

Hi
I'm creating some drag&drop page.
My page looks like:
<af:subform id="ListID">
<afh:script source="/drag_n_drop.js"/>
<af:table value="#{myBean.list}" var="item" >
<af:column>
<af:outputText value="#{item.data}" onmousedown="initDrag()" onmouseup="doDrop()" />
</af:column>
</af:table>
<af:inputHidden value="#{myBean.dragID}"
valueChangeListener="#{myBean.drop}" id="dragID" />
</af:subform>
Now in initDrag() I'm able to properly get ID of dragged item and put it in hidden element.
How should look my doDrop() javascript handler?
Simple submit on proper form doesn't propagate dragID to bean and valueChangeListener isn't triggered.
When I add on page simple commandButton, and push it instead of calling doDrop() function, everything works fine.
I can also reuse javascript function from onclick in such button and it works (with buttion on page). However I don't want there be any button.
What do I miss?

Hi there,
As per the current design, 'Auto Submit' works only for correct answers. You can try adding the following advanced action in case if you don't want to report the Drag and Drop interaction.
1. Create a user variable called 'count' with value '0'.
2. Create a conditional action with the following statements.
Assume your total number of Drag sources is 4, and then create a conditional action with the following statements
Select the Target Object, Click on the 'Accept' button from Drag and Drop Properties Panel. (Accepted Drag Source dialog should open up)
Set 'On Drop action' as Execute Advanced action, select the advanced action created in the above step, (set it for all sources).
This action gets triggered while dropping sources and the else part gets executed on drop the last source object and movie continues to the next slide
As I mentioned before, this doesn’t actually submit the question so it won’t work with 'Reporting' scenarios.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

How to change the parameter's value of Oracle Forms Applet?

Hello,
I'm working with Oracle Forms 10.1.2.3.0 and JRE 1.6.0_14, we got some performance issues and we think are related with Java, so we enabled Java trace and we realized that every time user moves the cursor from one item to another, the applet sends a request to the server. This is the request.
network: Connecting http://server/forms/lservlet;jsessionid=e53bb50b2f95ecb357451bf21a291367cc1747d2d9956b3ba1c4a05916d87d34.e34LaheTahaLai0LaxyLbN4ObxqTe6fznA5Pp7ftolbGmkTy with proxy=DIRECT
I want to disable these connections as Sun states that sometimes they are not needed (not sure if this is the case but we want to test it).
I got a possible answer from a Sun forum, the possible fix is to set the following property to false:
<APPLET ...>
<PARAM name="codebase_lookup" value="false">
</APPLET>
But I don't know how to pass that parameter to Oracle Forms applet.
Does anybody know?
Thanks.

You can try passing the parameter in the HTML template file ... for example in the $ORACLE_HOME/forms/server/basejpi.htm
i.e.
<PARAM NAME="TYPE" VALUE="%jpi_mimetype%">
<PARAM NAME="CODEBASE" VALUE="%codebase%">
<PARAM NAME="CODE" VALUE="oracle.forms.engine.Main" >
<PARAM NAME="ARCHIVE" VALUE="%archive%" >
<PARAM name="codebase_lookup" value="false">
I have never done it myself so I do not know if it would be recognized though.

How are listbox and radiobutton items working in oracle forms?!?

Hi all.
I need some help over may be a standard case in every real project.
Imagine i have a db table PERSONS -> PERSONID, NAME, TOWNID, MATRIALSTATUSID
and table TOWNS -> TOWNID, TOWNNAME
and table MATRIALSTATUS -> MATRIALSTATUSID, NAME
And i have a standard oracle form with text item person name, listbox item with many towns (from TOWNS table) and the town of the concrete person is selected when the form is inited, after that we can change it by selecting other town and saving it to db.
The same is with matrial status but lets make it as radio group with 3 buttons married, not merried, divorced.
So my questions is how to populate the listbox(radiogroup) for 1 person by selecting data from other preferenced tables. And most important how this data is populated in the list box for example i.e. every town name is indexed in some way or what. I am a java developer and for example in java the control listbox item has two attributes the name(string) that is displayed in the listbox and a index binded for that name, and i work with indexes and show strings. I read about LOV but couldn't understand how to "index" the populated values. Is it possible.
And please can you give me some example of how to load (populate + set current town), change and (if it is possible) "index". The same case appears to be valid with radio buttons and check boxes.
You could give me some tutorials too, i cant find simple and focused on the problem examples.
Thank you.
Best Regards.

Hi,
well here is what i done for now.
First I created recordGroup with query SELECT GENDER, GENDERID FROM GENDERS (I want to select all genders and place them in listbox)
After that i created Listbox and on triger when-new-form i placed this code:
DECLARE
it ITEM:=FIND_ITEM('PERSONS_DETAILS.GENDER');
BEGIN
CLEAR_LIST(it);
POPULATE_LIST(it, 'RG_LIST');
DEFAULT_VALUE(NULL, 'GLOBAL.PERSONID');
IF :GLOBAL.PERSONID IS NOT NULL THEN
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('PERSONS_DETAILS', ONETIME_WHERE, 'PERSONID=' || :GLOBAL.PERSONID);
GO_BLOCK('PERSONS_DETAILS');
EXECUTE_QUERY;
:GLOBAL.PERSONID:=NULL;
END IF;
END;
Imagine i have a main form PERSONS that displays general information about many persons (the data is retrieved from PERSONS db table). The form PERSONS displays PERSONID, PERSON FIRSTNAME and PERSON LASTNAME. When a user double click on some row from the PERSONS FORM( i have tabular datablock that displays the person data) other form 'PERSONS_DETAILS' must be displayed with detailed information about the selected person. The data about the selected person is loaded well but i want gender to be listbox and the user can change it if he wants. So i have TABLE GENDERS 1:N with PERSONS and the table has GENDERID AND GENDER. When the user double clicks on single person i must populate the list with all possible genders from the GENDERS table and set the gender of the selected person. How to do that?
P.S.: The example with gender is not very good because it could be only male female, but don't worry about it. You may think about gender list as townlist :)
It finds me the GENDER LIST and populates it. After that i take the personId (that is global variable and comes from previous form) and displays all the data for the person with id personid.
When i compile the form it gives me :
FRM-30351: No list elements defined for list item.
List GENDER

How to Return a value to a 10g Oracle Form form a Web Service Call

I've read the demo available from Oracle, 'Calling a Web service from Oracle Forms', that shows how to invoke a call to a Web Service from a Form. The demo only shows how to do a call and how to display messages. I've done some searching, but can't seem to find any examples of how to return a value from the call into a field on the form. If any one could provide an example of that, I would greatly appreciate it.
We are in the process of modifing a form and we would like to use a webservice, which we have never done before. We have created a webservice which calculates a value based upon what is entered on the form and we want to pass that calculated value back to a field on the form.
This is the code provided by the demo to do a call.
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(100);
ex ora_java.jobject;
BEGIN
JO := SendServiceSoapClient.new;
RV := SendServiceSoapClient.sendMessage(JO,:BLOCK3.PHONE_NUMBER, :BLOCK3.MESSAGE_BODY, xo, xo);
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;

In the future, please be sure to include the exact product versions you are using. In this case, also be sure to include the java versions you are using to build your java code.

How to connect to SQL server 2000 with Oracle Form

Hi,
I'm looking for the document of how to connect "SQL Server 2000" with Oracle Form 6i. Anyone knows that?

Shay or other knowledgeable folks,
Is there a way to utilize the wizard for "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Business Components from Tables" for SQL Server 2000, 2005 or 2008. I can successfully execute sql via java programmatically or import a table from SQL Server with "Business Tier > ADF Business Components > Entity Object" wizard, but the Business Components from Tables simply doesn't see any tables under any schema. Without the "Business Components from Tables", i don't get the referential constraints imported into the application and to code all those from scratch is just not as elegant. So far i have only utilized the sql server jdbc driver from Microsoft (versions, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0). Is there an alternative client that i need to use to enable selecting tables from that "Business Components from Tables" wizard. Is this a limitation of SQL Server, the jdbc driver or the wizard itself? Did anybody else experience the same issues? I am using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.0.1 against SQL Server 2005 (currently)
Thanks,
Andy
