Insert hyperlink into Text Item

I'm looking to create a footer text item for all reports that has a link that will launch an email to the BI team. I was able to find some javascript that I can use to launch Outlook but I can only get it to work with a button item or link item. I can't seem to figure out how to insert it into a Text Item.
What I want is:
"If you have any question please contact BI Team"
where BI Team is the link.
Thanks.

Hi,
i hope you want this functionality in WAD report. have u tried "HREF" in HTML code of WAD for that link.
for example: you want to open the link on clicking on "BI Team" so write a code in WAD like this
"If you have any question please contact <a href="http://mail.google.com/" target="_blank" >BI team</a>
Hope this will solve you query
Thanks,

Is it possible to insert hyperlinks into Dev Forms Code?

Does anyone know of a way to insert hyperlinks into forms once
it's deployed? For example, if I want the user to click on a
button "when-button-pressed" code that will take them to a
website.

Why don't you use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT inside your "when-button-

onChange="javascript:diffdat();"it's not woring .
How to work that Code with dates.
Thanks

You can always create your own difference function based on your own criteria. You can modify this to suit your needs.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CALC_OFFICE_DAYS(date1 DATE, date2 DATE)
RETURN NUMBER
IS
v_begin_date DATE := date1;
v_end_date DATE := date2;
v_office_start_time VARCHAR2(10) := '09:30 AM';
v_office_end_time VARCHAR2(10) := '06:30 PM';
v_comp_begin_time DATE;
v_comp_end_time DATE;
v_days PLS_INTEGER := 0;
v_hrs NUMBER := 0;
v_ttltm NUMBER;
BEGIN
select trunc(v_end_date) - trunc(v_begin_date)
into v_days
from dual;
select to_date(to_char(sysdate,'DD-MM-YYYY')||' '||to_char(v_begin_date,'HH24:MI'),'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI')
into v_comp_begin_time
from dual;
select to_date(to_char(sysdate,'DD-MM-YYYY')||' '||to_char(v_end_date,'HH24:MI'),'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI')
into v_comp_end_time
from dual;
select (v_comp_end_time - v_comp_begin_time)/24 into v_hrs from dual;
IF v_hrs > 4 then
v_ttltm := v_days + .5;
ELSE
v_ttltm := v_days;
END IF;
return v_ttltm;
END;
As has been noted, this question is best posted on the PL/SQL forum.

Correct workflow when inserting images into text, InDesign CS4

Hi,
I am new to InDesign and I have a problem regarding a really basic thing and I would be very grateful for help.
I am writing an article which is about 10 pages long. It consists mostly of text. I have finished writing and now I want to add some illustrations with descriptions. I've already figured out it's best to insert images into the text frame so they behave as "anchored objects" and they move together with text when I add or delete something on previous pages. Now I would like to place TWO OR MORE images, one next to each other, in a line. This is a bit tricky but I created an object style with Position: Custom in "Anchored object options" and it works more or less fine. This works great but now it would be hard to add descriptions to these images that would still be anchored.
So I created something different. I made an empty rectangle frame, a small text frame under it and grouped them. Then I placed it in my master text frame and basically did the same thing as for previously described images. Now I place the newly loaded image in the empty rectangular frame and add text in the empty text frame. BUT now I have problems with frame size for different-size images.
What if I have a REALLY LONG article and want to add LOTS of images with decriptions that would be anchored in the text so I can edit previous pages? I can do this my way, but it's extremely uncomfortable and takes ages. Is there any comfortable, non-destructive workflow for doing such things?
Sorry for my English.

Hi,
I would recommend following steps:
Place one or more images
Don't anchor them yet.
Arange them (the images) relatively to each other, add a text frame and arrange them correct relatively to the images.
Group images and text
Copy (or cut) them into the clippboard
Set the curser into the text where it should flow
Paste it
Adjust the anchored object (the group)
You need to group several objects to anchor them together as one anchor.
Further recommendation:
For the images I would specify an object style for fitting, stroke, corner optione.
For text frames I would specify an object style for text object options, like text offset, and used paragraph style, no boarder, etc.
For the group I would spcify an object style which leaves above mentioned settings undefined (option field is grea or has a dash). But the anchored position of the whole group and text wrapping should be specified.

Read a barcode(including line feeds) into text item

When I scan a bar code from a text item, I am unable to retrieve line feeds that are in a barcode. I need line feeds to retrieve various values encoded in the barcode. When I scan the same code on a notepad, I get output in multi-lines. But, oracle forms is removing the line feeds when I scan barcode in a text item. Please advice. Forms Version is 10g

It gave me output of 10.
Original string looks like this with control charactes <LF> and <CR>.
@<LF><CR>ansi 636049030002dl00410466zn05070057dldcabcde<LF>dcbbcdefjklmw
I have to get hold of <LF> character because it is used as delimiter for data values in barcode. But, when I scan it in oracle forms item, it is not reading <LF> character. Based on what you suggested, using dump and ascii, it ilooks like it is reading carriage return <CR> as CHR(10) and not <LF>. There is one more <LF> in the string and forms text item is not recognizing it. Dump output is shown below:
@,^J,A,N,S,I, ,6,3,6,0,4,9,0,3,0,0,0,2,D,L,0,0,4,1,0,4,6,6,Z,N,0,5,0,7,0,0,5,7,D,L,D,C,A,B,C,D,E,D,C,B,B,C,D,E,F,J,K,L,M,W,

Help in inserting data to text item

I have a database item, iterval, which is CHAR type and values consist of
'SYSDATE+7','SYSDATE+1','SYSDATE+n/24'...where n is any number. I created a form with two text items, interval_l, which is a list item of CHAR type containing the values, EVERY WEEK, EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR,etc. and I also have interval_num of NUM type which would contain n from interval. The problem that I am having is that I want to display the current value of interval, for example 'SYSDATE+5/24' as 'EVERY HOUR' in interval_l and '5' in interval_num. Do I need any triggers? I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Kristine

You use triggers to run when a specific event occurs. So I guess when you query your interval column from your DB table, then the right place to translate the value is in a post-query trigger on the block.
All you need is some pl/sql code to parse the values of Interval:
If substr(Interval,1,8) = 'SYSDATE+'
and substr(Interval,-3) = '/24' then
interval_l := 'EVERY HOUR';
interval_num := substr(Interval,9, length(Interval)-11 );
Else ...

How to insert values using pushputtons in text item & fetch data based on

Dear friends,
I want to insert values in the Text item using pushbutton e.g to insert 05CST884 into text item using pushbuttons '0' '5' 'C' 'S' 'T' '8' '8' '4' (alpha numeric buttons) in the layout editor and then fetch data based on the number entered with that of one in the table in the another text item2 in the layout editor.
Suggestions regarding how to develop and use effective triggers are welcome.

At the block level (for the control block where all your push buttons are, let's call it block1) create a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger. Your [A-Z] and [0-9] buttons should be on a dedicated non-database datablock to reduce problems. As stated previously, this trigger should just contain the code:
:block2.text_item := :block2.text_item||get_item_property(:system.trigger_item, label);
Also on the pushbutton block, create a backspacve button with its own dedicated WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger containing:
if length(:block2.text_item) > 0 then :block2.text_item := substr(:block2.text_item, 1, length(:block2.text_item)); end if;
This will hopefully erase the last character entered.
block2 should be based on the database table (see Property Palette --> Database) you wish to query and text_item should be based on the database item which contains the code you entered. All the other database items you wish to displayshould also be added to block2.
Add another FIND push button to block1 with the code:
go_block('block2');
execute_query;
Without writing the whole thing for you, I'd suggest you get a decent Forms tutorial book to guide you through the basics (Oracle Forms Developers Handbook).

I can't locate an "advanced" tab in my Keynote to insert hyperlinks - any ideas onwhat might be wrong?

The instructions said to click on the "wrench" looking tab, and click on "advanced" tools to insert hyperlinks into my presentations - there is no "advanced" tab showing up - any ideas of what might be wrong, or how to get to it?

The "Wrench" is in the upper right hand side of Keynote for iOS. Advanced is one of the options after you click on the wrench, Interactive Hypelinks is selected from within the Advanced option. You then select an object and assign a link to it.
Good luck.

Spaces removed when inserting a value into a text item

Dear members,
(Forms 6i c/s)
I have a databased function returning a string of characters (varchar2). This value can have spaces at its end.
When I put this value into a text item in Forms, the spaces at the end are removed.
How can I avoid that ?
Thanks for your help.

Can anyone advise me how to insert a hyperlink into a project I am using Captivate 5?

Can anyone advise me how to insert a hyperlink into a project - I am using Captivate 5

You can use an interactive object such as a click box placed over the top of a text caption, or a button, to link to the URL. However, these will not strictly-speaking appear identical to hyperlinks.
If you really want to replicate the rollover appearance of a true HTML text hyperlink, then you might consider the Hyperlink widget from Infosemantics:

How to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file

Hi,
Any one know's how to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file as the input in JSP.Please respond ASAP.
Thanks:)

At least you can try StringTokenizer to parse your text files. Or download a text JDBC driver to parse your files, for instance, HXTT Text(www.hxtt.net) or StelsCSV(www.csv-jdbc.com).

Text item validation into Formular.

hi.
From some days I have written my fiirst application using Oracle Forms6i.
In oracle9i I created table USER with column id_user number(5), username varchar2(10) and passwd varchar2(12).
In oracle forms builder I created the formular with 4 controls(2 fields - username and passwd ,one button to login user and Text item to the botton of this formular to print message for user). In ProperPalette for Text item 'username' and 'passwd' I set adequately Maximum Lenght peperty to 10 and 12(for 'passwd' field) and Required to Yes.
Then I wanted to make a validation username and passwd fields in this way, that the user can put in 'username' field the string with length between 8 to 10 and for 'passwd' between 8 to 12 and checking all other cases incorrect data entering by login user.
I created trigger WHEN-MOUSE-CLICK for button with this body:
declare
     dlug_username number;
     dlug_passwd number;
begin
     dlug_username := length(:user_data_log.username);
     dlug_passwd := length(:user_data_log.passwd);
     if (:user_data_log.username = NULL and :user_data_log.passwd = NULL) then
          :user_data_log.komunikaty_logowania := 'you didn enter any data!';
     elsif dlug_username >= 8 and dlug_passwd >= 8 then
     :user_data_log.komunikaty_logowania := 'Correct data!';
     elsif dlug_username < 8 or dlug_passwd < 8 then
               :user_data_log.komunikaty_logowania := 'Fields USERNAME i PASSWD must have more then 8 sign. Correct them!';
               :user_data_log.username := '';
               :user_data_log.passwd := '';
     end if;
exception
     when VALUE_ERROR then
     :user_data_log.komunikaty_logowania := dlug_username;
end;
When I run this form by Run Form client/server button, it's not matter what I'll enter in two field 'username', 'passwd', when I press button always is invoke exception section
but no if condition.
Now, I don't know what do with this. What is the best way to resolve problems with validation of form elements?
Thanks in advance for all help, some hints, tutorials. I appologise for so long post, but I
want directly describe my problem. Thanks.

Hi,
Regarding to your post and your problem , obviously the code doesn't go into the
IF condition and validate it becouse the syntax is not appropriate and every time it goes to the IF it jumps into the exception part. Thats why you have to correct your code as fllowing.
if (:user_data_log.username IS NULL) and (:user_data_log.passwd IS NULL) then
etc till the end of the code.
Kindly if this approach meet your requirment of solving , update your problem with a Subject of Solved

Omar

Regarding Forms Look & Fell 1.3.8 (Hyperlink in sigle line text item PJC)

I am using single line text item PJC in my form. I have a tabular block in which one text item implementation calss property is set to "oracle.forms.fd.LAF_XP_TextField".
Following code is written on when-timer-expire code
If lower(Get_Application_Property( TIMER_NAME )) = 'laf_timer' Then
Set_Custom_Property( 'CTRL.BEAN', 1, 'SEARCH_TEXT_ITEMS','') ;
Set_Custom_Property( 'FIN_ORD.ORD', 1, 'ENABLE_EVENTS', 'fin_ord.ord,true' ) ;
Set_Custom_Property( 'FIN_ORD.ORD' , 1, 'SET_HYPER_LINK', 'ORD');
End If;
When form run & after data execution only first record textbox show the hyperlink but no other textbox shows hyperlink except then first record.
Please guide.

Hello,
Please, ask questions concerning the LAF on the dedicated email : [email protected]
In you case, it is a generic issue using the Set_Custom_Property() built-in. If you want to set the property on every record, use the ALL_ROWS keyword in place of second argument.
Regards,
Francois

TS3276 Hi. Just started using Mac Mail on a macbookpro v10.6.8. I tried to send a message with two excel (for mac) files attached. One attached as a file, one inserted all the text into the message body. Help?

Just started using my Mac Mail program instead of web mail. When I went to attach two pdf files, one attached as a file, the other inserted all the text into the body of the email message. How do I get it to attach both pdf's as files?

I think you're confusing two different things. If you attached PDF files and one of them displayed the PDF icon in the message window, that means it was more than one page. If you saw what appeared to be the actual document for the other PDF file, that means it's only one page and it's normal for it to display that way.
However, I seem to recall there may (or should) be a button at the bottom-right of the message window that allows you to display those files as icons, even if they're one page. If not, there's a third-party addition you can use to add that feature:
