Making a "SelectOne" list on a Read Only VO in Find mode

I have a simple search page. The page is built on one VO - that is RO. One attribute/column of this VO is a type field - which I have a lookup VO for.
The search form goes directly to find mode. The column I want to define the simple "Select One" method for is of course part of the Read Only VO, but in find mode I can easily type in the field and the search works great.
When I try to create the dropdown (Select One) ADF complains and says it's a Read Only attribute and that I cannot use it to assign values to. This is correct - however in Find mode it's not read only.
So is there a way to bypass this problem?

Well, gladly I can report I solved this myself.
Makes little sense though - when I created the Read Only VO, I "had fun" and changed the attributes of the VO to "no change". That should be given, since the VO is read only. However, that was what caused the issue. The update is set for "Always" now, and while the view is still read only, I have the drop down working perfectly.

Making a dynamically generated field as Read Only

Hi All,
I am extending a standard CO and in that I wanted to make an entire table as read only. I checked by personalizing the page from front end, but as the items are dynamically generated fields , they are not visible in personalize page.
So is there any way to cach these fields and make them read only programmatically.
Thanks,
Srikanth

Hi Pratap,
I have looked into the view source and took the name of a input type ( There is no ID for the field) and used it in findIndexedChild, but it returns a null. I guess this is happening is the current CO is a mere region level CO and it is not being given the access.
The code in the class file is as follows :
public static void processTable(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
oapagecontext.startTimedProcedure("CrossTableCO", "processTable");
String s = null;
String s1 = null;
int i = oawebbean.getIndexedChildCount();

----- After Effects Wish List (Pre 2008 - Read Only) -----

AFTER EFFECTS WISHLIST
What features would you like to see implemented in After Effects? New ideas for plugins? Interface changes? Post 'em here!
Let's keep bug identification to individual posts, as these will probably be addressed more readily. Let's use this thread for specific ideas about ways that AE can be improved and expanded.
These Forums are for users, not Adobe employees, so don't forget to also fill in an
Adobe Feature Request Form.
Here's a few for starters:
b From Silversurfer:
Add dropdowns for precomp contents within a composition timeline (I have put this one in to the Feature Request area a bunch of times way before 7 Pro came out)?
In the Timeline Tabs...how about losing the word "Timeline:" on every single tab in the timeline (at least give us the option to turn it off).
In Multiview (2 & 4 View) Mode in the Composition Window: How about a small semi-transparent "View Label" in the corner of each view displayed (Front / Back / Top / Bottom / Active Camera / etc)...you know - like a 3D program?
Please add more flexibility within the Composition Window Multiview Mode - to be able to grab & stretch a smaller view out to make it larger.
b From Aaron Cobb:
I'd like to see the return of the old motion graphs, for quick reference purposes. The new graphs add a lot of improvements, but they take away 1:1 correlation, the ability to see the graphs alongside all the other timeline markers and keyframes, and easy readability. I'd love to have the best of both worlds.
The ability to set the motion graph background color independent of the interface color would be a big plus.

Please give us the option to go back to the much faster and responsive old interface or fix the current one so it doesn't lag anymore...IMO this should be the highest priority right now along with the hiding issue. Give us options to disable the font smoothing and fancy graphics to its bare minimum (think discreet's flame).
Please put back the option to change the cell height on the Timeline window. It used to be much smaller and as a result I can see less layers fitting in the window in AE7 in comparison to AE6.5. This is a direct example of the interface getting in the way of...working.
Fix the Timeline tabs so they don't rearrange themselves alphabetically when I reopen the project. And another vote to lose the "Timeline" word.
Add more options besides the Ease In/Out/Ease. Cinema4D has a very cool approach to this and there are very useful presets such as "Slow" (object reduces speed in a realistic way, i.e. a ball rolling on the grass and gradually coming to a stop), "Fast" (quick burst of speed in the beginning, i.e. the same ball after being kicked, a bullet, etc.)
Speed, speed, speed. Did I say this should be the top priority? :)

Read only List-Field

HI Folks
It seems to me that there should be an easy answer to the following
problem, so much so that I feel foolish for submitting it. However, since
this is my first posting, it is usually o.k. to be an dimwitted idiot.
Is there any way to have a list field (i.e. scroll list or drop list) that
doesn't display the icon at the right side of the box (the drop arrow or
scroll icon).
We wish to display an item from the list in a read-only fashion, thus is
not any need to display the list, just the corresponding item from the
list. (i.e 'sex' it comes from the database as a 1 (Male) or 2 (Female),
and rather than display the 1 or 2, we would like to display the 'Male' or
'Female'. )
Since we are displaying the records in an array and the array field is
mapped to an object that corresponds to the database table, extra fields
for translation, including virtual attributes, in that object fowl up the
writing to that database table. And, of course, the Drop list adds some
vertical height to the array field, screwing up the esthetic beauty of the
screen.
Thanks for reading this.

Try some thing like below,
your data value that needs to be update should be in this format "ID of the lookup";#"Title of the Lookup"
For example,
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "1;#iPhone";
listItem["Product_x0020_Number"]
= "2;#Mobile";
Hope this helped you....

Re: Read only List-Field

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but here it goes...
Create a custom domain with IntegerNullable as the SuperClass
From the properties of the custom domain, select Droplist or scrollistas the formwidget. Click on properties beside the formwidget label
and datafill the matrix. Male 1
Female 2
Your widget will then popup with the choices Male and Female for your
users to chose from. You can also dynamically set the contents of
the list by using SetElementList? method on the droplist or scrollist.
Check out the documentation for more info on manipulating the contents
of the list.
I use Express, so I would set this in the Business Model.
If you use straight Forte, you probably select a DomainWidget from the
Window workshop once you've created the custom domain.
Hope this helps.

Are 'read only' items causing my automatic row processing to fail?

I have a form that uses automatic row processing to update my table.
I recently had to add a check to lock down the fields using the read only condition where a record has been 'approved'. So, I turned off all of the fields and hid the update button.
Now they want me to check to see if the user is a manager, and if so, allow them to see the update button, and make a single field on the form modifiable.
I have the user identified as a manager, and can make the field accept the change (a yes/no combo box). Yet when they click the update button, the form just sits there. A branch is supposed to fire on hitting that button, taking them back to the previous report, but it doesn't happen. The source of the combo box in question uses a column on the table, and works fine when the form has all of the fields showing for modification.
I had some validations that I finally set to never fire, thinking that they were failing and just not giving the error messages. I know a bad sql or pl/sql atatement in a validation will cause the form to just keep sitting there doing nothing, and thought it might help.
Several of the various fields are combo boxes, several are text boxes.
I'm stumped.
Shall I keep the regular update button hidden whether it is a manager or not (because it has been 'approved'), and enable a new button that fires off a process to update the one field that the manager may want to change? Does making a field 'read only' always have a detrimental effect on the auto processes I've been counting on? Is that if fact what is happening now?
Thanks in advance for any advice or comments on this.

Hi, Scott.
My version is 3.0.0.00.20
I have received info to set up the application, though I have not activated it as yet. I'm reluctant to try to load up the various tables to make it work. It could be done.
My workaround is to that the user (a manager) fires off to another form to show an individual record, and ask if he/she really wants to make this change. On submit, they will be taken back to the original locked down form, and I will update the single field in that process of returning them. This will actually be a plus, in that I expect to show them all of the 'duplicate' entries for that item, and show them that by 'activating' this particular item, they will 'deactivate' the one duplicate that is currently active. Or, if they are deactivating the sole item that is active, that there will in fact be no active items in the system. Convoluted as heck, but they swear this is how they've been doing business with their briefcases and file cabinets of Excel files. I'm surprise they even float at this point (these are ships we're talking about).
This all may be due to the form originally having a next/previous/count process once arrived at my clicking on the edit button of the report of items. All of that has been hidden away, and though the fields exist of the form, they are not used. They only see the current item that they clicked on from the report.
I read up a little on session state, as well as posts with the debug error I was getting. I'm still not on board with the whole issue of 'state'. Items stay as they are until they're changed, no? I suppose that sounds simplistic.
One of the things that caught my eye was several combo box lists that on read only mode, showed [] square brackets. Which, in some cases is okay.
What I'll try to do is set up a public application - for future use if nothing else. I'm going to be working on this for awhile. I have more than a bit of work to do to cleanse the data as well as get rid of the single sign on requirement (I'll assume that I should have to do this) in order to share the app.
I know you're expecting me to have this up and running for you to look at, but I'm under the gun. And they actually like my workaround.
I'll keep everybody informed, one way or another.
Clayton

Keep getting a read only message and have to save with different name

I am editing some pdf files, and every time I save I get the message: "The file may be read only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
However, when I right click the file and click properties, it is not listed as a read only file. Nor is the directory read only. Having to save each file as a different name is driving me nuts. Is there a fix?

Is this file saved on a network drive, or a shared folder?
If so, it's possible someelse in the network has it open at the same time as you.

LOV Displays the Return Value when Read Only

Greetings,
I searched for a question/answer for this, but didn't find this exact scenario mentioned, but I may have missed it. If you know of this already been asked/answered just point me to the thread.
On APEX version - 4.1.1.00.23
I have a LOV that is populated by a dynamic action from another LOV. That works great. Depending on the value of another page item the 2nd LOV is Editable or Read Only. The problem is that when the 2nd LOV is Read Only the result value (an ID) displays instead of the display value.
1 - Why is this?
2 - How do I prevent this from happening?
Also, I don't want 2 separate page items (one for edit, one for display) for the 2nd LOV, because the 2nd LOV also has a dynamic action on it to populate a 3rd LOV. The population of the 3rd LOV works great, whether the 2nd LOV is editable or read only.
= = = = = = = 2nd LOV SQL = = = = = = =
select sub_com_desc||' - '||commodity_desc d, defect_code_header_id r
from qcis_defect_code_header
where inactive_date IS NULL and plant_id = :P10_PLANT_ID
order by sub_com_desc
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Thanks, Tony

I've decided to try a different approach. Since the Select List LOV was Read Only and not populating correctly it was causing a session state error when inserting the row. So, I've made the Select List LOV editable, but it shouldn't be. I now need to disable the page item using JavaScript to prevent it from being changed. I need to do so only when a page item contains a certain value.
Will someone share an example of JavaScript snippet of code I need to use? (I'm not much of a JavaScript coder.)
The page item I need to disable is named - P10_DEFECT_HEADER_ID
I need to disable it when P10_MAP_TYPE = 'P'
Thanks, Tony

'Read-Only' is applied to 44k photos while using LR5...can't save work.

Hello,
As noted in the title...
Using MacPro (5 years old), OS Lion, full RAM, 4 HD's with 2 TB+ drives, plenty ofroom left over in all.
ALL 44k images located in one LR3 catalog (recent upgrade to LR5 hoping for remedy 2 days ago) show 'read-only' notice, so after doing any kind of work on them in develop, etc. I select all (in specific folder, not 44k photos!) then save it, a notice comes up and says these are 'read-only' files. Thus not able to save any work that is apparent in LR. BUT, when exported as JPG all changes are saved.
I have opened various folders, NOT via LR, but via Finder (OS Lion) and opened one by one using PS 4 and they open fine in RAW converter window. Save as PSD, all files look fine. Same for JPG's.
The issue is LR, or hard drive or something along the chain where the photos, when viewed in LR, say they are 'read-only'.
Via Finder window I have opened various files (denoting read-only notice) and right-clicked to 'get info' on that specific photo. ALL files are 'read and write', there are NO files that are denoted read-only when getting the info. I checked 50+ photos in 25 different folder locations.
Laptop test:
I started a new LR catalog in LR5, with ZERO photos and imported a few folders, with images that had 'read-only' notice to make sure I tested the same photos that had given me the read-only notice.
Did a test on photos with 'read-only' files on a laptop (OS Mountain Lion), pulled files from HD where ALL 44k photos are located. Copied to thumb drive, imported with LR5, copied to desktop in test folder, all photos came in fine, slected all, did global edit to all images, saved all, all images were saved with NO 'read-only' notice. This is true for a series of folders.
So my test, if it proves anything, is that either LR is messed-up or the HD is messed-up on MacPro tower or something is telling LR to show the 'read-only' notice to pop up.
Back-ups:
Back-ups were done from HD where all 44K photos reside, to 2 (two) other drives, within MacPro tower. So ALL 44k photos are essentially the same. This was a drag-n-drop not using Super Duper or similar byte-verification software.
Any ideas on why ALL 44k images say 'read-only', when viewed in LR5 in MacPro tower but NOT in laptop? HD is 5 years old...could this be the weak link?
Also, considering to wipe the complete system drive (not HD where photos reside) and re-load everything from scratch to begin anew. My concern is will this help and then, will wiping all drives and re-loading all images, then re-loading LR5 catalog will solve this. I am resigned to a week of doing this if it works as right now, I am at a stand still and cannot go forward or backward.
Thanks
Sergio

Ok, before we square off on the definition of metadata. I was saving work done in the develop module, as in developing the photo to my taste. Once I am done with the work, I either select the one image or all images in a folder and save the work. If the saving action is indeed called metadata (that is written to the xmp sidecar file) so be it. All I care about is that the sidecar file hangs onto the work I just did. Thus if a catalog is corrupted, I can re-load a recent back-up (done every time LR exits) and not have to do the work again. I also want to make sure my photos can be used even if LR dies, fades away into obscurity or no longer works. I do not want my photos to be 'prisoners' of Adobe LR or any other software. That is why I tested the photos outside of LR, by opening them in PS and see if my settings stayed as I had them before. If LR automatically saves the work to the catalog, great, no worries.
Now, onto the issue at hand.
Why do I get 'read-only' when I try to save work to a photo or a bunch of photos within a folder?
Where do I go to get "permission to write to a folder', whether using LR or any other software?
thanks

Make Select rows and columns as read only in Table Control

Hi All,
I would like to know how to make certain cells in a Table Control as display only.
Table control should look like-(Those in bold are read only or in display mode)
Name1 Idno1 Address1
Name2 Idno2 Address2
Name3 Idno3 Address3
Name4 Idno4 Address4

(Blank row to enter name idno and address)
(Blank row to enter name idno and address)
My table control should display all the above fields the way it is above of which first two colums and 4 rows should be read only,and the rest of the empty rows in the TC should be in change mode.i.e it must have provision to add new rows but not change the first two columns of existing rows.
In short I am looking at solution to hide particular no of rows and columns and not the entire column.

In the PBO of the table control loop. just write these statements
NAME and IDNO considering the fields on the screen.
and WA_TAB is the table work area being passed to the table control to display the rows.
if not WA_TAB-NAME is initial and not WA_TAB-IDNO is initial.
loop at screen.
if screen-name = 'NAME' or
 screen-name = 'IDNO'.
screen-input = 0.
modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
endif.
which means that the fields are disabled only if NAME and IDNO are not initial.

FTP server permissions "Read Only"

I manage my own website, and would like to use Finder as my FTP medium. I can log into it, and download from it, but I cannot write to it. I have web admin privileges, but I'm unable to UPload to my ftp server.
It runs on the basic port 21, and has run normally in the past, but this is the first time that I've tried to mount it as a volume on a mac.
This way would be so much easier to use than the FTP online protocol that I use.
Thanks in advance,
Superd@ve

Hi, yes,FTP is Read only in the finder in .4. at least.
You can use Terminal commands or a free FTP client such as Cyberduck to get both R&W rights..

How to make users to select the date from calendar control my making the date field read only in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010

How to make users to select the date from calendar control only, by my making the date text field read only (don't want to let users type the date) in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010. I am looking for a solution which can
be done through sharepoint desginer / out of the box.
thanks.

Congratulate you got the solution by yourself. I am new to a
WinForms calendar component, I feel so helpless on many problems even I'd read many tutorials. This question on the
calendar date selection did me a great favor. Cheers.

Making Read Only A select List Item

Hi,
I am using Application Express 3.1.1.00.09 version.
If the date field is future date then the Select List field should become Read only.
I tried to make "read only".
When I made it "read only" '>[] is displayed???
Does some one have a solution?
Thanks,
Priyanka.

Hi Leckraj,
I assume that
the select list is not displayed at all.means that your page item is not rendered as a select list input control, but it's rendered as text only, right? That's the nature of the read only condition, it will render almost all controls as text only.
About the dynamic action solution. That can be simplified and doesn't require a hidden item or JavaScript.
1) Create a dynamic action which fires for the "Page Load" event
2) As (Server Side) Condition Type set "exists (SQL quer returns...)" and specify your SQL statement
3) Use a "Disable" action to disable your select list page item
The above dynamic action will only be included and executed on the page, if the SQL statement returns a value.
Note: Please keep in mind that dynamic actions are browser based operations, for a skilled user it's no problem to enable the select list and modify the value. To secure it you should add a server side validation to verify if the user is really allowed to modify the value. That's the difference to the "Read Only Condition", because in that case the APEX engine guarantee that the value can't be modified.

I have the same requirment..
I have a select list on a editable form and i want to make that one read only.
When I use read only property it doent do anything. (But this is working for text items well).
When I use "disabled' option it works fine. But then that value does not post when use POST the form. So making select list disabled is not a solution.
Any Idea..
Thanks
