LOV with Criteria problem

Hi, I'm using JDEV11.1.1.2
I have a View object used for LOV
select kod, element, text <- lov query
from tableAwith a ViewCriteria that filters the query with bind Var:
( KOD = :kod ) <-- this is the view criteriaI have assinged this lov to a field of another view and set the bindVar to be a static string 'YYY'.
Everything works as expected, except in one rare case:
I open the page and without calling the LOV, I enter some existing key in the lov field manually. When I press Enter the following error occurs:
java.sql.SQLException: Attempt to set a parameter name that does not occur in the SQL: kod
If i first open the lov popup and close it - manual entered keys are working as expected. It seems like it needs the lov to be called (initialized) and then I can work with it with manually entering values.
Is there something i can do to fix this case, because it maybe not so rare for the customer, who knows the codes and does not need to call the lov popup at all.
Thank you

Cascade LOV with multiselect in View Criteria

Hi All,
Is there any way to create a cascade LOV with multiselect in View Criteria.
Ex. If a select multiple Countries from the parent LOV, the child LOV would display the list of States for the selected Countries in a view Criteria.

Hi Jabr,
I feel clumsy, now I have this problem.
When I set in the format mask yyyy-MM-dd G 'at' hh:mm:ss I can use only am hours. I tried to cancel 'at' and I wrote at runtime 2011-03-23 15:30:00 but when I run it I got an error about the time format. I can use the time from 00:00:00 to 11:59:59 am.
Thanks

On each of your pages you need to add the class="thispage" to your anchor tags.
So the 'About Me' page link looks like below:
<li><a href="About Me.html" class="thispage">About Me</a></li>
'The Gallery' link on the 'Gallery' page looks like this:
<li><a href="The Gallery.html" class="thispage">The Gallery</a></li>
Do the same for the 'Studio Work' and 'Contact Us' pages.

They are all quite a subtle grey tone but the one I cannot see is on the 'About Me' page. You just need to bring the grey tone up a few stops.

Using LOV with Validation on the Numeric Fields results in Error

Dear JHeadstart Team,
During my work with lov I encountered another problem. I defined a lov and attached the lov to a numeric field and check the LOV for validation. Now when I use LOV using the LOV button it works fine but when I enter some numbers and then press tab the LOV was not shown correctly and resulted in the following errors and the worst thing is that you can not navigate to any other pages and all try to navigate to other pages results in errors too. When we put the same LOV on a string field (which is not desirable for us) it worked fine.
It seems to me like a bug. Am I right? Is ther any solution or workaround for this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Hi Navid,
We ran into the same bug and have the next workaround for it:
We extended the JHeadstart class 'LovItemBean' and we have overridden the method 'validateWithLov(...)' with:
public void validateWithLov(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent)
    Object newValue = valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
    if(newValue != null && !(newValue instanceof String))
      newValue = newValue.toString();
      ValueChangeEvent newEvent = new ValueChangeEvent(valueChangeEvent.getComponent(), valueChangeEvent.getOldValue(), newValue);
      newEvent.setPhaseId(valueChangeEvent.getPhaseId());
      super.validateWithLov(newEvent);
    else
      super.validateWithLov(valueChangeEvent);
}Next step is to use a custom template in your JHeaedstart Application Structure file for 'LOV_ITEM_BEAN'. In this custom template you should use your own class as 'managed-bean-class' instead of the default JHeadstart one.
Now you can safely generate LOV with validation of number fields.
Maybe something the JHeadstart can pcik up in the next release of JHeadstart :-)
Hope this helps.

LOV with subselect shows return_value instead of display_value

Hi,
I have the following dynamic SQL based LOV with a union in it that does not display correctly in the application.
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM apex_app_roles ar
WHERE security_level = 1
AND :F2500_APP_USER in
(SELECT au.user_id FROM
apex_app_user au,
apex_app_user_roles auar
WHERE ar.role_seq = auar.role_seq
AND auar.user_seq = au.user_seq)
UNION
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM APEX_APP_ROLES ar
WHERE security_level = 0
ORDER BY 1
The problem I have is the first part of the SQL is displaying the return_value instead of the display_value. If I comment out the following the proper value is displayed in the application.
AND :F2500_APP_USER in
(SELECT au.user_id FROM
apex_app_user au,
apex_app_user_roles auar
WHERE ar.role_seq = auar.role_seq
AND auar.user_seq = au.user_seq)
We currently have version 4.0.1.00.03 installed.
Is there an issue with this version and what I am trying to do or is there something wrong with what I'm doing? The SQL returns the proper results if I run it in the SQL workshop so I'm at a loss here and if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

The value is correct. I can run the entire SQL in workshop using parameter substitutions and it returns all the values correctly. So running this
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM apex_app_roles ar
WHERE security_level = 1
AND :F2500_APP_USER in
(SELECT au.user_id FROM
apex_app_user au,
apex_app_user_roles auar
WHERE ar.role_seq = auar.role_seq
AND auar.user_seq = au.user_seq)
UNION
SELECT role_name d, role_seq r
FROM APEX_APP_ROLES ar
WHERE security_level = 0
ORDER BY 1
returns all the rows and looks like this.
D     R
ACP_ADMIN     3
READ_ONLY     2
READ_WRITE_ALL     1
SERVICE_DESK_ADMIN     4

LOV with all colors

Hi,
I would like to create a dynamic LOV with all the colors in it (return value should be the color-code).
One can create a small table with all color-codes, but that's the easy part.
What would be the syntax of the dynamic LOV?

Hi Todd,
Working from Apex 3.0 there is also a item-type "color picker" wich also solves the problem (as mentioned in your link from Andy).
Thanx.

LOV with 2 primary key

I use a LOV with a table which has a double key
and the LOV dialog appears twice when selecting a record
(once for the first and once for the second primary key)

You can control when the LOV dialog is displayed by setting the DisplayLOVOnNavigateIn property of the AttributeInfo object.

Need Help with Scrolling Problem

I have a JTree displayed in scrollpane. Based on search criterial I select the nodes where the search criteria is found. If the match is located off the screen further down into the tree, the node is highlighted but the scrollpane doesn't automatically scroll down to show it. Any help with this problem is appreciated.

Wow.. Thanks. I thought I would need some fancy code to handle this problem. scrollPathToVisible did it for me. Thanks.

Dynamic LOV with dates and selected default value

Hello,
I have a dynamic lov with dates. Query looks like this:
select distinct concat(to_char(b.send_day_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24'),':00') display_value, to_char(b.send_day_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24') return_value
from ...
No I want to select a specific date as the default value. I put the following code for the default value:
declare
begin
return to_char ('2008.02.19 10:00');
end;
But it doesn't work.The date (string) exists in the lov but it is not selected.
Can someone tell me where the problem is?
Thx in advance.
Greetings,
hamburger

Hi hamburger,
As return value you specified to_char(b.send_day_time,'YYYY.MM.DD HH24'),
so your default value should be like to_char('2008.02.19 10'). Also pay attention to select the "Default Value Type".
Hope this helps.

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Monitors with Gradient Problems?

Hi All,
Further to my recent post "monitor screen display terrible!"
Finding a monitor without spending a lot with excellent picture quality is proving differcult! I have tried a Philips 22" monitor Model 220CW9FB and now a BENQ T900HD 18.5 WS monitor all not as sharp with good contrast as my 4 year old G5 iMac. Also has a gradient problem e.g. as you get up off your chair and continue to look down at the screen the white background of the screen turns light blue then darker and colored parts turn white!? Also looking at an angle to the side anything light blue turns a light brown!? Then as I'm viewing something as in Apple Discussions each box of replies alternate white then light blue and so on but looking at normal distant as you type each box are white. You have to lean back in your chair, twice the distance back to actual see the blue box then white box!?
What's that all about? I have noticed this on the new 20" iMacs too but the three new 24" iMacs are great just like my Rev A G5 iMac of 4 years. Are these inferior screen problems anything to do with them being TN panels as I've just read about?
I really don't know where to go from here as the screen quality is important. I'm use to the great screen quality of my old G5 iMac and don't want to go down in quality for the sake of moving from a Mac PowerPC to an Intel Core 2 Duo even though I need this for EyeTV hybrid and all the features of iLife '09 etc.
I don't want to spend a huge amount for an Apple display as I might as well get the entry level 24" iMac. The main reason for not getting the new iMac is I don't like the glossy screen, although today I heard there is an option for a 24" matt screen... any truth in that? Then again will I be able to return the new Mac mini I've only had for 6 days for a 24" iMac?
Other suggestions seen here is turning my G5 iMac into a stand-a-loan monitor or maybe a 20-year-old CRT 19" TV I have can be used as a monitor and if so what connections are needed? Any ideas on these options?
So buying the new Mac mini has created a lot of unexpected problems. I thought as asked about before getting it was told any monitor would have the same picture quality as my old G5 iMac, but after the fact found out this is not the case.
Thanks for the read & any ideas/thoughts much appreciated...

AFAIK Hmmm Googled "As Far As I Know"... So far I've tried three monitors (all with gradient problem) so it looks like you are correct. I'll try a couple more today as if I need to return my Mac mini with Philips monitor need to do soon for a 24" new iMac even though the Mac mini is not at fault. I'll have to get use to the glossy screen. While writing this an item "iMac or MacBook display too glossy? Apply inexpensive non-glare LCD protective film" has appeared in MacDailyNews.

Thanks for the idea using my G5 as a monitor but maybe quite an involved process?
It's a shame in all my research before buying a monitor no salesperson mentioned TN display panels. Mind you since the problem no salesperson has said they know about TN display panels or better monitors, just saying any monitor will work with the new Mac mini. Very frustrating!
