Insert a label or button in landscapemode

when i insert a button in landscapmode, its rotated about 90 degrees. how can i change this ?

Sorry, not possible.
I want to correct myself. There is an old "hack" that still seems to work, which is to create a link to a file, but instead of pointing it to a file you point it to a folder. But Acrobat only lets you select a folder when you create such a link, so how to do it? Create a Word document with such a hyperlink and then use the PDFMaker plugin to convert the file to a PDF. This side-steps the Acrobat limitation and gives you a link to a folder, which when clicked will open it in Windows Explorer.
As I said, it's a bit of a hack and it's possible it will stop working if Adobe ever decides to block it, so use it with care.

How to insert a pdf export button in a module

Hi,
I would propose a way for my students to realize easily a pdf export of one screen. The goal is that students save a file with a drag and drop exercice in order to re-use after.
So, I tried :
- Use a shape and execute Javascript, window.print(). I had think to say students to use pdf export instead of print. In my case, print works only in html5. In flash, only the background is displaying.
- Use the print widget of captivate. It works but it's hard to use it. Student needs to edit properties to choose layout / paper size. Otherwise, some part of the screen are not displaying.
So I'm looking a solution to insert a pdf export button. Idealy a student clicks up the button and screen will be export in pdf format. I try this wdiget (http://captivatedev.com/2012/07/25/adobe-captivate-6-x-widget-dynamic-pdf-export/) but we can export only variables.
Anyone has a good idea to share ?
Best regards.
Clément

Thank you Pat. The thing is that i can´t upload any document to the web server because it belongs to "Jimdo". They give the option with a kind of Plugin and the Pdf comes directly from your browser to be download from the visitors, but it look ugly. That´s why I inserted a link to go to another page (different server) where I can upload documents. I think a need someone who know Jimdo.
Thank you

Hi,
Normally, to translate your entire application you would export the application using Shared Components=>Translation Services. There is documentation on how to do this:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14303/global.htm
You can also use Shared Components=>Manage Messages to translate individual items. If this is what you want, please let me know and I'll let you know what I did to achieve this.
Normally, the user would select their preferred language using a browser setting. Do you intend for them to select a language on a page?

Dynamically labeling a button ... some more

Hello
I'm trying to make my button labeling code more efficient by re-using the same button over and over and having a "String" variable update with the appropriate button name. The function uses "if" and "else if" to update the value of the "var txtVar:String" with the appropriate label depending on the instance name of the button just clicked. Inside my button movieClip is actions that refer back to the txtVar variable to label the button. In this manner, when the movie is run, each button, though based on the same movieClip, should have a different label derived from the updating variable txtVar.
I'm pretty sure what I'm doing wrong is in the "if" statements. I'm trying to use "this.currentTarget.name" to update the labels based on the instance name, yet when I trace "this.currentTarget.name" and then click a button, nothing displays. I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for your help!
var txtVar:String = checkVar();
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.mouseChildren = false;
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.buttonMode = true;
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.mouseChildren = false;
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.buttonMode = true;
function checkVar ()
     if (this.currentTarget.name == "lgndOneBedroom_mc")
         txtVar = "One Bedroom";
     else if (this.currentTarget.name == "lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc")
         txtVar = "One Bedroom + Study";
function overFunc(e:MouseEvent):void
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("over");
function outFunc(e:MouseEvent):void
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("off");

Yeah ... I blew it there. Sorry to have led you astray. There is no clicking involved. All I'm trying to come up with at this point is a dynamic way to label several buttons that are all instances of the same movieClip. This will keep me from ultimately having to make about thirty different buttons. I can reuse the same movieClip and just let the code provide the labeling across the face of the button.
Inside the button movieClip is this action: "buttonTextField.text = MovieClip(root).txtVar;" which refers back to the root timeline and looks for it's label in the form of a dynamic variable called "textVar". Since all the buttons will ultimately call this same variable, I need a way to toggle the value of that variable depending on what button is calling it. I thought maybe one way to do this was to set the textVar equal to a function that can switch out it's value and I tried to use the buttons instance name to indicate which value of txtVar was appropriate. Hopefully that makes more sense. For some reason these esoteric concepts are hard for me to put into words.
Like you said, I need to define what this.currentTarget is somehow. Both "lgndOneBedroom_mc" and "lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc" are the instance names of the only two buttons I have on the stage right now. Here's the oringal idea I had that obviously didn't work:
var txtVar:String = checkVar();
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.mouseChildren = false;
this.lgndOneBedroom_mc.buttonMode = true;
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, overFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, outFunc);
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.mouseChildren = false;
this.lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc.buttonMode = true;
function checkVar ()
    if (this.currentTarget.name == "lgndOneBedroom_mc")
        txtVar = "One Bedroom";
    else if (this.currentTarget.name == "lgndOneBedroomStudy_mc")
        txtVar = "One Bedroom + Study";

I think that is necessary to change some standar code, but im not sure; I want to know what happend or if we have a note that mention this area.
Thanks in advanced,

Hi
if I understand your requirement correctly, you r referring to the Tool Tips for buttons on Web.
You can turn off these in the XHTML code for the template , simply by removing the statement,
<bi:TOOLTIP value="XXXXX" />
Or in the property for the button group.
I hope this helps you,
Shakeel.

Label and Button in VBox, how to dynamically insert something between them?

I'm probably missing something simple here, but scratching my head. If I have a VBox with a label and a button in it, is there no way to insert a new child between the other two children ? Something like a way to get at "nth child"? or "insertAtIndex" ? Most likely I am just thinking about this wrong-headedly. Thanks.

ah, so .add() takes an int which determines the position among the children in which it will be inserted? I knew I was completely missing something critically simple. Thank you.

Relation between record in a form and insert statement written in button

hi all,
i am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.24.1 (Production).
i have a master detail form with relation
A is master of B, B is master of C and a button which resides on control block(other than A,B,C).
so i will insert a one record into the block 'A' and i will press button which will insert particular record into particular table.
so when i try to move to next record('A' block) it is asking for database change. when i give 'yes' everything is ok. but when i give 'no'(w.r.t that record) and moves to next record and inserts the record and insert record throguh button also, at this time user press 'yes' then the first record is not saving but what ever i have inserted through the insert statement is not rolling back.
How can i control insert statement with the respect to datablock change in the block.
The block 'C' data is going to the other table through insert statement the block 'C' i am posting. So due to 'post' the block is not getting cleared so insert statement is also firing.
In other words i want to unpost the posted data when user press 'no' in the database message.
I know there is nothing to do with the forms message. But is its possible to control when user press 'no' then the insert statement should not gets saved into the table.
Please help.
Thanks..

First off, you need to understand how Oracle Forms interacts with an Oracle database. Forms natively handles all DML transactions for you. Meaning, if you have a Forms data block based on a database table, Forms will generate all the necessary DML to handle any changes that occur in that block. You do not need to write your own DML statements in code.
so i will insert a one record into the block 'A' and i will press button which will insert particular record into particular table.Is Block "A" based on a table? How are you inserting the record into the table? If you are writting your own DML to insert the record this would explain why you are being prompted to save when you change records. As I mentioned, if your block is based on a table, Forms will know if you change a value within the block.
How can i control insert statement with the respect to datablock change in the block.If your blocks are based on tables, let Forms handle the DML! don't do it yourself.
In other words i want to unpost the posted data when user press 'no' in the database messageIf your block is based on a table, when you are prompted to save changes - answering 'NO' will automatically clear the current record of the data block (in essence - rollback the change).

Applet label and button attributes being reset.

Using JDK 1.4 through 1.6, IE6, JBuilder 2005
I have an applet with a panel that displays the status of external devices and allows the device status to be changed. Here is a brief description.
The applet has a class that extends JPanel.
The panel has a set of JButtons that display a color representing the state of the device and text that shows the button action (Open or Close). By default, the JButtons are Green with text = "Open". These are initialized in the init() method of the class that is called only once when it is initialized.
The panel display class has one method of interest:
setDeviceStatus() - updates the color and text of the JButtons.
This is the ONLY ways these components can be changed outside the init() method of the class.
The method has a System.out.println() statement immediately before any change in text or color.
There is a simulator applet that is used to send messages via sockets to the display applet.
Here is what happens.
1) Applet and panel are initialized correctly.
2) Simulator applet sends message to update the color and text of a JButton
3) The message is recieved by the display applet and the setDeviceStatus() method is called.
4) The print statements before the setText() and setBackground() methods of the Jbuttons are called and new states printed.
5) Color and text changes on the JButton to Red and Close.
6) Cursor is moved from JButton and JButton focus is lost.
7) JButton color and text revert to initial default state of Green and Open.
There is only ONE call to the setDeviceStatus() method. This call updates the color to RED and text to CLOSE.
As soon as focus is changed, the display updates to initial values WITHOUT calling the setDeviceStatus() method.
The behavior is different in JDK 1.4 and 1.6
JDK1.4) The text and background color change back after focus is lost by either:
a) Clicking on another window.
b) Creating an expose event by hiding and redisplaying the applet
JDK1.6) The text and background color change back after the cursor is moved off of the button.
CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN HOW TO KEEP THE UPDATED STATUSES????

Hi Denes,
I' paste it here ...
<br><br>
<table class="t10Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary=""><br>
<tr><br>
<td class="t10L"><a href="#LINK#"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/button_left.gif" alt="" width="4" height="24" /></a></td><br>
<td class="t10C"><a #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# href="#LINK#">#LABEL#</a></td><br>
<td class="t10R"><a href="#LINK#"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_10/button_right.gif" width="4" height="24" alt="" /></a></td><br>

does this work ...?

Insert, save, etc.. button's not showed on customize form of QBE report.

Hi,
I've created a QBE report with all button's enabled in the customize form, when testing this with the
provider customize link the button's are shown and I can perform an insert etc...
When this QBE report-portlet is added to my rootpage and I go to the customize link everything is shown
except the button's ??? what am I doing wrong ?
Luc De pauw

Hi,
This is because it is the customize of the portlet. The customize of a portlet only supports the Apply, OK and Cancel buttons. Hence the QBE cannot support Insert in the customize. They are the full page options. The customize is to change the parameters of the report that control the output of the report. It cant be used to insert into a table. The Apply and ok do the same the thing that save does. It saves the customizations for the user.
Thanks,

Text labels on buttons have disappeared, and the tabs have moved ABOVE the address bar. Why?

Last night I updated to Firefox 29.0.1. Now, I don't mind change - and I don't mind redesigns - but I HATE it when options are removed. I want text labels on my buttons (the "Home" button for example"). In the previous version of Firefox you could right-click in the grey space at the top, and select "customise". From there, you could drag and drop which things you wanted to appear in your toolbar or not - and there was a tickbox to selext if you wanted text labels to appear underneath them or not. Now as hard as I look, I can't find this option. It looks like you're now forcing people to ONLY use icons. I hate that. My brain processes the word "Home" a lot faster than it recognises a little picture of a house. You need to understand that people work in different ways - and just because the Firefox developers might not personally use the text labels, that doesn't mean that no-one does!
What is the point in taking away the option? None at all. Please re-introduce the option. In the meantime, I will revert to the previous version of Firefox.
Additionally, I see that the tabs have now moved on top of the address bar. Again - WHY? I like them below. Why do you feel the need to make design changes - and then not give people the option to customise things how they like?

Yes you can install the Classic Theme Restorer extension without a problem.

Dynamic labelling the buttons

Hi,
I have 10 departments and every department has different number of sub-departments.
Users will select a particular department to run a report showing summary of the department
and tabs or buttons for all the subdepartments available under that department.
By clicking the button or tab for a subdepartment, the user would see updatable tabular
form for that subdepartment.
One solution is to create pre-labelled buttons for all sub-departments on the summary report and hide/show
them basing on the department selection. Means, if the user selects department 1 it shows button 1 to 5 and if selects department 2 then button 6 to 12 etc.
Can anybody suggest a better solution for this?
Thanks,
Zahid

report showing summary of the department and tabs or buttons for all the subdepartments available under that departmentAre these buttons shown within the report's colums ? In this case it should be quite simple since you can use the column link feature and choose the link txt as some data column and style the button using some class definition(so that it look like a button, for example apex's link button template classes).
If you are using tabs, how are you generating them - PLSQL Dynamic region ?
If so , submit the page and get the PLSQL region's source to generate the content.
By clicking the button or tab for a subdepartment, the user would see updatable tabular form for that subdepartment.From this I guess a submit would b simpler coz you need to reload this Tabulat form too
<li>Another option would be to use Dynamic action to upon report refresh that
1. fetches the button or tab label sing an Ajax callback function and assign the label appropriately
2. Refreshes the Tabular form for the department
