Large Table Cell Selection (CS6)
Hi
I've a table 37 rows x 10 columns (no header or footer rows). Even without any formatting or content there seems a random limit on how many cells I can select at any one time. I seem to be able to select the top third of the rows. Below this it's very random what it will allow me to select.
It won't allow me to merge rows together that straddle this two thirds point either.
Is the table simply too big for Indesign?
Thank you.
Additional information: If I attempt to add rows (in the dialoue in the toolbar) it adds tham at the same point where it limits me to either selecting the cells above only... or below only.
I don't do a lot of work with tables, but I've very successfully selected large tables over multiple pages in the past. One problem you might be encountering is that ID will not split a row across a frame or column break, so if there is a lot of data in a cell that might be a factor in your merge problem.

hi,
how can you find out the default color of the table cell renderer border?
when you select a cell in a JTable, there's (by default) a thin border drawn around it. since i use my own renderer for some columns, i need to find out the color of this border (it is differnt for different look & feels).
thanksout the defaultyou were right. thank you.
just one more thing: where can i find the names of all those properties that the UIManager uses? like the one you used "Table.focusCellHighlightBorder"... -
Right click table cell selection
I'm making a GUI interface including a table. What I'd like to implement is ability to right click on the cell and open the options selection, similar as to when right click the icon on the desktop. Any ideas ?
You will need to create the component that will show your options and then add a MouseListener to your table that detects the mouse event and shows your options.
A good place to start would be to have a look at this link: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html
And here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/mouselistener.html -
What is the trick to selecting table cells?
I have a table whose construction and styling is underway; it is very hit or miss to select all or part of that table. Can anyone suggest a trick to make table cel selection more certain?
Sometimes I get the little fat arrow and sometimes I don't..
thank you!If on windows, use the "esc" button to select the cell or the text. If you select a cell, use the arrow keys to select more cells. Whole table, select one cell then "Ctrl A" to select all the table. The fat arrow is the same as the one in Word, it's sometimes driving me crazy too.

How to restrict the cell selection in JTable based on cell contents...
Hi all,
I have some problem related to table cell selection.
I have a table that represets the calendar of some month and year.
I have the restriction that at one time only one cell could be selected.
Now i want the cell seletion like this,
I want only those dates to be selected if that date is after 'today'.
that is I want to restrict the selection of previous dates.
how can i do this.
I have overridden the table methods like this, still no use.
table = new JTable(model) {
setOpaque(false);
setSurrendersFocusOnKeystroke(false);
setRowHeight(20);
JTableHeader header = getTableHeader();
header.setOpaque(false);
getTableHeader().setReorderingAllowed(false);
setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(false);
setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
setFocusable(true);
setBackground(new Color(247, 251, 255));
setFont(newFont);
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
return false;
public boolean isCellSelected(int row, int col) {
int r = getSelectedRow();
int c = getSelectedColumn();
String val = (String)getValueAt(r,c);
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.set(currentYear+1900, month,Integer.parseInt(val));
Date d = cal.getTime();
Date currentDate = new Date();
if (d.before(currentDate)) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
Someone please help...
-SoniTry overriding the changeSelection(....) method of JTable.

HS connection to MySQL fails for large table
Hello,
I have set up an HS to a MySql 3.51 dabatabe using an ODBC DNS. My Oracle box has version 10.2.0.1 running in Windows 2003 R2. MySQL version is 4.1.22 running on a different machine with the same OS.
I completed the connection through a database link, which works fine in SQLPLUS when selecting small MySQL Tables. However, I keep getting an out of memory error when selecting certain large table from the MySQL database. Previously, I had tested the DNS and ran the same SELECT in Access and it doesn't give any error. This is the error thrown by SQLPLUS:
SQL> select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720;
select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720

I have read the MySQL documentation and apparently there's a "Don't Cache Result (forward only cursors)" parameter in the ODBC DNS that needs to be checked in order to cache the results in the MySQL server side instead of the Driver side, but checking that parameter doesn't work for the HS connection. Instead, the SQLPLUS session throws the following message when selecting the same large table:
SQL> select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720;
select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02068: following severe error from MYSQL_RMG
ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using
SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.0.0.120)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MYSQL_RMG)))
Curiously enough, after checking the parameter, the Access connection through the DNS ODBS seems to improve!
Is there an aditional parameter that needs to be set up in the inithsodbc.ora perhaps? These are current HS paramters:
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MYSQL_RMG
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
My SID_LIST_LISTENER entry is:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = HSODBC)
(SID_NAME = MYSQL_RMG)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
Finally, here is my TNSNAMES.ORA entry for the HS connection:
MYSQL_RMG =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.120)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSQL_RMG)
(HS = OK)
Your advice will be greatly appeciated,
Thanks,
Luis

lmconsiteFirst of all please be aware HSODBC V10 has been desupported and DG4ODBC should be used instead.
The root cause the problem you describe could be related to a timeout of the ODBC driver (especially while taking care of the comment: it happens only for larger tables):

How to paste tabbed data directly into FM7 table cells?
<<<<on edit.... changed FM8 to FM7... I have FM7, not FM8>>>
Hello
I'm working on a documentation job that requires a pasting external data into existing table cells in FM7.
I have tried several things but I can't find a way to paste the data directly into the table cells. The source data can be delimited text, or spreadsheet cells. Neither can be pasted into an existing table. The only way I can make this work is to first paste it into FM as text, then convert it to another table, and then copy/paste from that table into the existing one. This is a lot of extra work and it seems there should be a way to paste external data directly across table cells. I also tried "paste special" but that is not an option when I have table cells selected.
Any ideas???
It would be much appreciated!
Thanks
Gary BeckwithGary, just had a thought -- I've worked on several projects where I used variables in tables that might work better for you.
Basically the idea is to pre-populate the tables in your chapter with variables in the cells, and then import a minimalist MIF file that only contains the variable definitions for the pre-existing variables. The minimalist MIF file can be made quite easily from a database or from an Excel CSV or TSV export by using various scripting utilities to convert comma-delimited text into the MIF syntax.
I've created chapters that had hundreds of thousands of cells with variables in them, and updating the variables is incredibly quick.
The best way to approach the variable naming is to come up with a convention that is easy to apply, I found .r1c1 etc to be a good starting point (the period so that the variables all sort in the same place in FM, the lower-case letters to make the variable's name as horizontally short as possible. -
InDesign CS6 Font doesn't work in table cells
Hi all!
I'm working in InDesign CS6 on Mac OS 10.6 Leopard. I have character and paragraph styles defined using a certain font, and they work just fine except when using them in table cells. I have the character style nested in the paragraph style, which is then used in the cell style. But it doesn't work. It inherits everything correctly except for the font. If I select the text, the font menu tells me it is the correct font, but it displays in a different font. I've tried exporting to IDML and resaving, but that didn't work. I'm stumpedHi Jeffrey-
Indeed it should, and I see why using a formatted table would cause conflicts, but I am importing it as an unformatted table already. Built all styles in InDesign first, then imported as unformatted table. A few times it did work as expected, but most of the time it steadfastly refused to apply the correct font.
But in any case, that wasn't my only issue with the tables. My understanding of importing Excel spreadsheets is that applied table and cell styles will be maintained when the linked file is updated, but local formatting/overrides will be wiped out, which is why I was trying to get the styles working in the first place. However, after testing, I found that even when I didn't use local formatting/overrides, updating the linked file still broke my InDesign layout.
In my test, the only thing I did to the imported (unformatted) table was to apply the table/cell styles and adjust column width (which is unavoidable as far as I know - didn't see anywhere I could set column width as part of a style). But even then an update to the linked file removed all the styles and column widths I had set (and was also highly annoying as it gave me a separate error message about the formatting loss for each and every instance of the spreadsheet).
Could be a fluke, or could be I'm missing something, but for whatever reason, I just couldn't get it to work -
My product has some very large tables (using RANGE_PAGING). I want to allow the end user to do a Select All operation, and then press a command button to act on all selected rows, but want my backing code to detect a Select All has been done, rather than attempt to retrieve all rows from the table. Is this doable with a RichTable?
I'm porting an existing UI over to ADF -- the old UI handled this by having a separate select all button (column header), which would get unset if any row got unselected, and the backing code could interrogate that. I was wondering if there was a more ADF-ish way of handling this.

(added JDeveloper version info)Are you really using 11.1.1.6? If so, I guess you should be asking in one of the internal Oracle forums.
But, no, there's no "more ADF-ish" way to my knowledge :)

endloop.Hi,
1) RESULT_PACKAGE internal table contains any duplicate records or not bassed on the where condotion like below
2) Remove the into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table instead of that into table use.
refer the below code is
RESULT_PACKAGE1[] = RESULT_PACKAGE[].
sort RESULT_PACKAGE1 by /BIC/ZREB_SDAT AGREEMENT /BIC/ZLITEM1.
delete adjustant duplicate form RESULT_PACKAGE1 comparing /BIC/ZREB_SDAT AGREEMENT /BIC/ZLITEM1.
SELECT /BIC/ZSETLRUN AGREEMENT /BIC/ZREB_SDAT /BIC/ZLITEM1

where
/bic/ZREB_SDAT = RESULT_PACKAGE1-/BIC/ZREB_SDAT
AND
AGREEMENT = RESULT_PACKAGE1-AGREEMENT
AND /BIC/ZLITEM1 = RESULT_PACKAGE1-/BIC/ZLITEM1.
and one more thing your getting 10 million records so use package size in you select query.
Refer the following link also For All Entry for 1 Million Records

Hi everybody,
is it possible to make a single cell selectable in a table in Web Dynpro for ABAP?
In simple ABAP it is possible and you can catch the coordinate while raising an event (button).
In Web Dynpro when I am using "input fields" instead of "text view" for the cell editor I can go into a cell, but it isn't selected.
By the way the table should not be editable ...
Thanks for all answers ...Problem is solved.
Solution:
As described I have a context attribute "marked_cell" typed WDR_EXT_ATTRIBUTE_POINTER.
After selecting a cell my method behind the button could read the coordinates with the following code.
DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->element_context.
DATA lo_marked_cell LIKE ls_context-marked_cell.
DATA lv_marked_column TYPE string.
DATA lv_marked_row TYPE string.
* get element via lead selection
lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
* get single attribute
lo_el_context->get_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `MARKED_CELL`
IMPORTING
value = lo_marked_cell ).
* lo_marked_cell contains direkt the column
lv_marked_column = lo_marked_cell-attribute_name.
* Additionaly we need the row number the user selected
lv_marked_row = lo_marked_cell-element->get_index( ). -
Small issue with custom table cell editor and unwanted table row selection
I'm using a custom table cell editor to display a JTree. Thing i notice is that when i select a value in the tree pop-up, the pop-up closes (as it should) but then every table row, from the editing row to the row behind the pop-up when i selected the value becomes highlighted. I'm thinking this is a focus issue, but it thought i took care of that. To clairfy, look at this: Before . Notice how the "Straightening" tree item is roughly above the "Stock Thickness" table row?

Edited by: MiseryMachine on Apr 3, 2008 1:27 PMAs I said, you have to have empty context elements before additional rows will be open for input.
For instance if you want to start with 5 rows available for input do the following to your internal table that you will bind:
data itab type standard table of sflight.
do 5 times.
append initial line to itab.
enddo.
context_node->bind_table( itab ).
The other option if you need n number of rows is to add a button to the table toolbar for adding more rows. When this button is pressed, you add a new context element to the node - thereby creating a new empty row in the table. -
Possible to hit enter on table cell & retrieve data without selecting line?
Hi All,
We're using ECC6. I I have a situation where the user wants to be able to hit a cell in a table which will then fire a report and pass the contents of that cell to the report.
So far I have been only able to get this working when the row is highlighted, I can easily pick up the values from the lead selection. But the user does not want to have to highlight a row every time to run the report. The user just wants to hit return a cell and for the report to be updated with the value in that cell.
So, I'm just wondering if it is possible to hit enter in any table cell and retrive the data without highlighting the row?
Many thanks in advance,
Liz.Hi,
You want complete row data or perticular cell data??
Basic q's, without selecting a row how can we get data? without selecting means you get complete data on table,
In that case which data you have to pass to report?
Or if you dont want to select data means, create one more field of type button. so in thins button action get that row data
and call report from here itself.
Cheers,
Kris. -
Select from multiple entries in table cell.
Hi All,
I'm having issues when trying to do a simple select from an access database:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetAllByMonth" DATASOURCE="dsn">
SELECT * FROM table WHERE strMonth = '#url.strMonth#' AND strDisplay = Yes
order by strOrder_id
</CFQUERY>
Table cells in rows contain coma separated values:
January, February, March, April, May, June, October, November, December
Unfortunately the query returns no values. I've tried changing the "=" with "like", "contains" but with no results.
Difficult to know what to search for so any help gratefully recieved.
Ta
TrevorHere is an absolutely crazy "hack" that I once used when dealing with a database like that. It had hundreds of thousands of rows with comma separated values that for various legacy could not be changed.
So one day I did this ... SELECT DISTINCT column_from_purgatory FROM table_from_hell.
Much to my surprise, there were less than a hundred DISTINCT values in that column. (They were, fortunately, reasonably-sized VARCHARs.)
So I built a table of those values, then created a separate table into which I could put each of the comma-separated parts, and then wrote a small (Perl) script to populate the two. For example, a row containing "January, March, April" would be linked to three rows containing one month-name each.
Now, as long as I had a way to be sure that this pair of lookup-tables was always complete (which was slightly problematic), I had something that I could actually JOIN to. It wasn't pretty ... in fact, it was butt-ugly ... but it saved a tremendous amount of processing time for this application. -
Coloring of selected table cells: Ideas wanted
Hi there,
for a WD ABAP component to be re-used in various scenarios my customer seek the most comfortable and fency way to color table cells which have been selected first.
I am almost sure that there is no UI Control in ABAP WD which allows the selction of cells in a grid, pane, table whatever, right?
Most suitable would be if the cell itself can be selected and then some image within is beeing displayed or even a background color is set.
I looked into placing a button and image in UI Pane or table/ALV cells but not 100% statisfied with it.
Is there a better way in order to "simulate" the described requirement?
As always, the best idea will get the point
Regards
CarstenThanks for the tips. Both helped very much.
I implemented the simple Table UI because which was sufficient for us but the ALV example is very useful also.
But related to this I have another question:
My first the coding didn't work because my Table UI already had a (static) value assigned to it's design property.
In this case, although I have assigned a dynamic WD_UI_CELL_DESIGN context attribute to the cellDesign property of it didn't show the color.
Only after the Table design property was set to 'standard' the cell displayed the color.
Does anyone know what the reason for this is?
In my opinion any design value applied to the cellDesign property should overrie the inherited table design property. My release already is NW 7.01 so it not seems to be fixed via EhP.
Regards
Carsten
