Line of text in two rows in a check box

Greets
Ive been working in a poll, and i use a check box in some part, but de question its to long to put it in
i have the same problem with the text box, but with the command  it can be possible to put a long question in two rows, but that command line doesnt work with check boxes
there are any form to make a long question of one row, into a two row question in check box component??

There is a multiline button example you can adapt for checkboxes on my blog.

Check box - text at the bottom of the check box

Hi Apex folks,
I came across a different requirement where as i need to place the check box text in break line at the bottom of the check box. Say I have a check box item X . which having following items
STATIC:
A - I am good;1
B - I am ok ;2
C- I am bad;3
D- I am confused;4
I have to display the text in the bottom of the check box and the text like "A" at the first line and " I am good" at the second line . Is there any possibility to achieve that.
Thanks
Karthik

Do you mean like this?
[ ] [ ] [ ] [X]
A B C D
I am good I am OK I am bad I am confusedIf so, why? If not, show us the required layout.
Help us to help you. When you have a problem you should provide as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

Bold line possible between every two rows?

hi,
the data in my JTable is set up in a way that two rows form one block, one record really. an example to clarify:
row1: James O'Connor 45yrs old etc...
row2: 12 Parklane Oxford UK
row3: Neil Thompson 32yrs old etc...
row4: 78 Main Street Manchester UK
I would like to accentuate the fact that row1 and row2 form one record,
as do row3 and row4, and i would like to accentuate this fact using a bold line between row2 and row3, between row4 and row5, and so on, rather than inserting an empty row each time.
can you do this in a JTable?

Hi,
You can create your own TableCellRenderer for all the even-rows and then give those renderers an extra thick border at the bottom.

Delete the rows if the check box is selected.

Dear all,
i have a block (not database block). i added a check box to the same block. now i want to delete the row against which the check box is selected.
i wrote the following code in when-button-pressed trigger.
IF Checkbox_Checked('CHK_DEL') THEN
     delete from fa_01_11
     where as_id = :as_id;
END IF;
commit;
but when i select only one check box it delete the all rows from the table if the condition is satisfied.
here is the data in my table
as_id year month
63     2006     4     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     5     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     6     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     7     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     8     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     9     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     10     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     11     0     -1183.92     1
63     2006     12     0     -1183.92     1
what's the proble?

You need to run the code for each record and you need to find something which is unique. as_id is not unique.
untested:
declare
last_rec boolean := false;
deleted boolean := false;
begin
first_record;
loop
    deleted := false;
    last_rec := :system.last_record = 'TRUE';
    IF Checkbox_Checked('CHK_DEL') THEN
      delete from fa_01_11
        where as_id = :as_id
        and year = :year
        and month = :month;
      clear_record;
      deleted := true;
    END IF;
    exit when last_rec;
    if not deleted then
      next_record;
    end if;
end loop;
commit;
end;

Deletion of single or multiple rows by selecting check boxes?

Hi ,
I want to delete a row or no of rows in a table by selecting the check boxes.COuld any one suggest me how to do this?
Regards,
Ram

Following is the JavaScript sample you may have to tweak the code to fit your situation....
// Invoke the Instance Manager to remove the current instance of the detail subform.
_<SubformName/RowSOMName>.removeInstance(index of the object to remove)
//_Section2Detail.removeInstance(this.parent.index); //in my case I have a delete button next to each row when clicked that will pass the index of the parent(row index as it is part of that row).
// Invoke the recalculate method to update the form calculations.
xfa.form.recalculate(1);

hi

Hello,
You can also use a UDF to split the text with string and return a table.
--create UDF splitstring()
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.splitstring ( @stringToSplit VARCHAR(MAX),@delimiter nvarchar(10))
RETURNS
@returnList TABLE ([Name] [nvarchar] (500))
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @name NVARCHAR(255)
DECLARE @pos INT
WHILE CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @stringToSplit)>0
BEGIN
SELECT @pos = CHARINDEX(@delimiter, @stringToSplit)
SELECT @name = SUBSTRING(@stringToSplit, 1, @pos-1)
INSERT INTO @returnList
SELECT @name
SELECT @stringToSplit = SUBSTRING(@stringToSplit, @pos+len(@delimiter), LEN(@stringToSplit)-@pos)
END
INSERT INTO @returnList
SELECT @stringToSplit
RETURN
END
declare @string varchar(MAX)='Email:[email protected] University,Bachelors,1986---University of Virginia School of Law,Doctor of Jurisprudence,1991---French,Working---Italan,Fluenty---Phone:zzz zzz zzzz'
select * from splitstring(@string,'---')
--drop UDF
drop function splitstring

 if (numOfRows > maxVisibleRows) {
 totalTableHeight = rowHeight * maxVisibleRows;
 else {
 totalTableHeight = rowHeight * numOfRows;
 return totalTableHeight;
 * Sets up the table according to the totalTableWidth and totalTableHeight
 public void fixTableLook(int maxVisibleRows) {
 table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
 totalTableWidth = this.fixColumnWidth();
 totalTableHeight = this.fixTableHeight(maxVisibleRows);
 table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(new Dimension(totalTableWidth, totalTableHeight));
}Also, I want some column headers to display their text in two-rows. But by using the HTML technique look at the result in comparison with the previous table I had!

First of all I found out that when I set the column's header like this:
columnNames_vector.addElement("<html>Column 3 Second Row</html>"); //In the setupGUI() methodthe TableHeight_ColumnWidth.determineColumnWidth(TableColumn col, FontMetrics fm) method calculates the column's width by counting <html>, </html>, characters as well. So I added a check to reject these characters and not count them for the column's width.
As for the header's height:
I found that when the first column's header is set to display two-lines, then the height of the rest columns headers is set to display two-lines as well. In other words, the height of the first column's header affects the height of the whole JTableHeader.
I found that the BasicTableHeaderUI.getHeaderHeight() method is called, within which there are these comments:
 // If the header value is empty (== "") in the
 // first column (and this column is set up
 // to use the default renderer) we will
 // return zero from this routine and the header
 // will disappear altogether. Avoiding the calculation
 // of the preferred size is such a performance win for
 // most applications that we will continue to
 // use this cheaper calculation, handling these
 // issues as `edge cases'. Should I override a class and if so which one? I am so confused! If anyone has any idea about how to set the header's height according to the cell's height that is the maximum among all, please let me know.

Printing two lines of text in Print Module

Is it possible to print two, or more lines of text, say on a contact sheet, such as filename and caption. If so, how?

Lightroom automatically wraps text under the thumbnail in contact sheets. The Text Template Editor does not allow you to enter line breaks. So, if your Filename is long enough to fill the first line, the caption will start with the second. If not, you can tweak the template somehow so that it looks the way you want.

How to hide the grid lines between two rows in a ALv? Please help!

Hi Experts,
         I have a ABAP ALV(reuse alv grid FM) report.
The last field in the ALV is "Description" which can contain data of size more than 130 chars.
Since the max field length in ALV grid is 130 chars hence I am splitting this field value whenever the field length is more than 130 chars.
After splitting I am generating duplicate rows but with different "Description" field values ( each contains the splitted values".
For example:
Name| City | Description                             |
Hari|HK    |Employee responsible for time management |
Hari|HK    |and issue resolution                     |
Now I want to hide the grid line between these two rows
and just for Description field.
In other words I want ALV to display like this:
Name| City | Description                             |
Hari|HK    |Employee responsible for time management |
Hari|HK    |and issue resolution                     |
How can I acheive this?
Please provide some sample code.
Please help. I will be really greatfull to your help.
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Rich,
      If that is the case then atleast how can I hide the complete row grid line?
Please give some sample code.
Thanks
Gopal

I don't want a new row for each line of text

I have exported a pdf document which is a table full of text in columns (by month). The conversion seems to react randomly so that in some places several lines of text in a column are converted to just one cell (great, just what I want) and then in others, a block of text gets split into a row for each line of text --- very annoying ...
What would make this happen? Is there a workaround so that you can tell the conversion how to react to blocks of text?
hope someone can help

For optimal export the PDF needs to be a well-formed tagged PDF.
The basic PDF page content has no format, styling, rows, columns, etc.
Just objects painted to the PDF page at a specified location.
You can return to the authoring file, clean that up to support accessible PDF output, then post process the PDF with Acrobat XI Pro to finalize making the PDF PDF/UA compliant. Export of that would be better.
You can manually tag the PDF such that it is PDF/UA compliant than export from that . This would provide you better export.
You can clean up the export you already have.
Be well...

How to display multiple lines of texts in a single rows in ALV

Hi,
I have a unique requirement in which i have to display multiple lines if texts for a single rows in ALV Grid. Right now in my output it is coming in single line which is not visible fully because that text is more than 255 character. So i want to display the test by splitting into multiple lines and show it on output. Please suggest some solution for this if this is possible in ALV.
Thanks,
Raghav

Hi Raghavendra,
Its not possible to display multiple line in one row of an alv, but i think you can acheive it by splitting the whole text into multiple sub-text.
For example, if your requirement is as below:
Field #1          Field #2
1                    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(200 characters)
2                    yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(220 character)
then you can break Field#2 value into say 50 character and then populate the internal table with repetative entries of Field#1 and the finally sort it by Field#1 value... as a result of which you output will be somewhat as below:
Field#1          Field#2
1                   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2                   yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hope it will help you in meeting your requirement.
Regards,
Shradha

Dont want to show the divided line between two rows in a Grid.

Hello Friends,
I want a Grid in which I want multiple rows but i dont want to show the divided line between two rows.
It is just like a grid on Territories form(Administrator->SetUp->General->Territories)
Thanks.

Mithun,
The component you're talking about is not a grid, and that component is not exposed by the UI API so you cannot use it.

Ask split long text into two line into same cell for ALV

Dear All,
Is it possible split long text into two line into same cell for ALV display data?

Keep options: Select the paragraph, then CtrlAltK (Mac: CmdOptK, I
think).
If you want the paragraphs in pairs, create two paragraph styles. Style
A has keep options set to start on a new page, and also, its Next Style
is style B.
Style B has no keep options, but it's Next Style is Style A.
Select all the text.
From the flyout menu of the paragraph styles palette, apply Style A
"then next style."
Now all paragraphs will be alternating -- style A, style B, style A, etc.
Now do what I wrote initially, and you'll have pairs of paragraph in
separate text frames.

Is it possible to have two rows of text fields per entry in a tabular form?

Hi,
I'm constructing a tabular form with several text fields for each entry, and I have just been advised we need twice as many text fields now as the requirements have changed.
Anyway I am running out of real estate on the page without having to use horizontal scroll bars, and am wondering if it is possible to arrange the text fields into two rows in the tabular form for data entry. I have successfully done this for display as text fields, but not sure if it can be done in this instance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
