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.

  • Increase value of Select List Item with a Button

    Hi all,
    I've got an apex appli which is working well.
    In one report page I use a select list with a LOV, but I want to "enhance" this functionality:
    I need a kind of button which increments the item-value of the select list by 1,
    so that the user can easily skip to the next value of the LOV without scrolling thru the select list.
    Unfortunately I dont't get it working. Has anyone an idea how to realize that?
    thanks in advance
    Frank

    Hello Frank,
    Assuming your select list item is called P1_SELECT, you can define an HTML button, next to the item, that will do the trick.
    In the Post Element Text field of P1_SELECT, you can have similar code to the following:
      <input type="button" value="Next Value" onclick="$x('P1_SELECT').selectedIndex+=1;" />Hope this helps,
    Arie.

  • Improper casting of bind in select list item?

    Hi all,
    In v3.1.2, I have a Select List item called P1_DEPT_FILTER where the LOV is:
    Number of Columns          1
    Display Null                Yes
    Null display value           -- ALL --
    Null return value
    List of values definition     select DNAME, DEPTNO from DEPT order by 1
    In a computation of another item on the same page, I have a SQL Query in the computation that contains a WHERE clause referencing the Select List item:
         AND (:P1_DEPT_FILTER IS NULL OR assigned_belt LIKE :P1_DEPT_FILTER)
    The problem is that sometimes the computation query returns no rows. Using APEX debug and also dumping the session variables shows P1_DEPT_FILTER to contain the expected value based on what I selected, so I created a LOGON TRIGGER on the owner's database for the owner's schema to fire up a SQL Trace with binds. The bind variables for the computation query show "dty=1", which is a (n)varchar2 type, instead of the expected "dty=2".
    My theory is that this improper casting is causing the computation to not work correctly, since running the computation query outside of APEX works perfectly.
    I'm missing something here, but am stuck on where to continue troubleshooting. Thoughts?
    TIA!

    Hey Scott,
    My apologies for not posting the exact SQLin my original post -- I tend toward obfuscation. In any case...
    That computation and it's slight derivatives appear on computations for P3_ID, P3_ID_NEXT, and P3_ID_PREV, as well as the "Get Next or Previous Primary Key Value" process. Since the value returned for the P3_CHAMPION_FILTER Select List is "8" when I attempt to filter, I altered the P3_CHAMPION_FILTER for each of the 4 SQLs similar to this:
    SELECT
        NVL(MIN(ID),0)
    FROM
        vip_project.project_table
    WHERE
        project_document IS NULL
        AND lead_team_charter_date IS NOT NULL
        AND (NVL(:P3_BELT_FILTER,0) = 0 OR assigned_belt = TO_NUMBER(:P3_BELT_FILTER))
    --     AND (NVL(:P3_CHAMPION_FILTER,0) = 0 OR assigned_champion = TO_NUMBER(:P3_CHAMPION_FILTER))
        AND (NVL(:P3_CHAMPION_FILTER,0) = 0 OR assigned_champion = 8)And it works perfectly! Without a filter on Champion, the correct 56 rows meeting the criteria are available for navigation on the form. If I select the item in the P3_CHAMPION_FILTER that corresponds to the value of "8", only the 3 rows for that "champion" column are navigable. Here's what debug says about the P3_CHAMPION_FILTER field when I select the "8" item:
    0.14: ...Session State: Saved Item "P3_BELT_FILTER" New Value="0"
    0.14: ...Session State: Saved Item "P3_CHAMPION_FILTER" New Value="8"
    0.14: ...Session State: Save "P3_ID" - saving same value: "1"
    And the Session State:
    100     3     P3_CHAMPION_FILTER     Select List     8     I
    So, in theory, changing the "TO_NUMBER(:P3_CHAMPION_FILTER)" to "8" should have no effect, but it does. Baffling!
    Thanks!

  • Dynamic Select List Item

    Hi all,
    I want to change from a Text Field to a Select List item.
    The list items should consist of 'Buyer' from a Linked_table in another Db.
    Do I have to create a LOV (List of Value) or can I do it in another way?
    //Lasse

    Edit the item and change the Display As value from Text Field to Select List.
    Then scroll down to the List of Values region and enter your query. Something like:
        select buyer_name, buyer_id
        from buyerThere is no need to create an LOV unless you plan on using the query in multiple forms.

    If it's IE, then this is not possible (at least up until IE7 which is all I can test on at present).

  • Selected list items to Word document

    I found online many posts to generate a word document with all items included in a list.
    But is is possible to have the generation triggered by the user and to include only a subset of the list items?

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to generate a word document with selected list items in your SharePoint 2010.
    You should look into the Word Control Toolkit, which uses the Open XML format SDK to achieve what you require.
    The basic functionality is that you use the Edit Control Block on a selected list item to generate and populate a Word document using a template you can select from a drop-down list.
    Here's some links to get you started:

  • Set Default Value of Multi-select list item

    I have a multi-select list item I want to default the value of to '%' (which is really '%null%') and have it selected. I tried setting default value of item, but it doesn't take '%null%'. I also tried a computation with a static of
    :P507_ITEM := '%null%'; How do you get the default value set and selected?

    Hi
    Shijesh is right, you need to change your null return value and use that return value as your default. Try and use something of the same datatype as your real return values if you plan to use '%' to display all as it will make your queries simpler. eg.
    Company A returns 1
    Company B return 2
    % returns 0
    Then your query would be...
    SELECT ...
    FROM ...
    WHERE company_id = DECODE(:P_COMPANY,1,1,2,2,0,company_id)
    Hope this makes sense.
    Cheers

    Hi Richard,
    Please check if   this loop is executing for the correct desired event(say on click or from the start ). & the field name specified is correct or not through debugging. And check by placing the parameter ev_field_usage_changed = 'X'. after the loop statement.
    Below is a sample code for making the field read only.
    field-SYMBOLS: <fs_field> like line of CT_FIELD_USAGE.
       loop at CT_FIELD_USAGE ASSIGNING <FS_FIELD>.
         case <FS_FIELD>-NAME.

  • Webpart - Get selected list items

    All,
    I have a SharePoint list and a webpart located above it. In the webpart, I have a button. Is there a way to know the selected list items when user clicks on the button?
    For example, I have a Company list which contains Company A, B, C, and D. User has selected Company A and D. When user clicks on the button of the webpart, could the webpart know that Company A and D has been selected?

  • Help with select list item and dynamics action

    G'Day Apex Gurus,
    I having problems trying to achieve to trigger the help window of a select item automatically. A help window is triggered when the select item label is clicked but my client would like to be triguered automatically as soon as the user click to see the options in the select list.
    I think that I should be able to do it with dynamic actions but I can not get it to work.
    I know when someone click on the label of the select list item trigger this JavaScript
    javascript:popupFieldHelp('277938589795252851','1545903379570909')
    So I want to trigger the javascript also when the user click of the select list item and pull down the options and for that I think that Dynamic actions is the way to go but I can't get it right.
    This is what I a doing:
    I created a Dynamic option as follow:
    Name : test
    Sequence: 30
    Even: Click
    Selection type: Item(s)
    Item(s): P1_RATING <- a selection list item
    Condtion: - No Condition -
    True Actions
    Sequence: 10
    Action : Execute JavaScript Code
    Fire when event result is :True
    Fire on page load: ticked
    Code: javascript:popupFieldHelp('277938589795252851','1545903379570909')
    I appreciate any one who can tell me what i am doing wrong here or provide a solution to my problem of achieving to trigger the help window of a select item automatically.
    Kind regards
    Carlos

    Hi Carlos,
    I set up a test case in exactly the same way and it worked fine for me. I created a page item called P1_DA_DEMO and added some static select list values then added some help text. The settings I used are below, I suggest you try again but also make sure you have no other Javascript errors on the page. Use a tool like firebug to check.
    Name : Dynamic Action Demo
    Sequence: 10
    Even: Click
    Selection type: Item(s)
    Item(s): P1_DA_DEMO <- a selection list item
    Condtion: - No Condition -
    True Actions
    Sequence: 10
    Action : Execute JavaScript Code
    Fire when event result is :True
    Fire on page load: Not Ticked
    Code: javascript:popupFieldHelp('277938589795252851','1545903379570909')
    Event Scope set a s Bind.

  • Beginner User:  Locking (making read only after data entry) a single field after selecting date

    Hello, I am a beginner user trying to create a form using Adobe Livecycle.  One of the fields I would like to make read only/protect it/password protect it after a user selects the date.   For example, I select August 17, 2010 as the date. After I select it, I would like that field to be read only or protected so that another user can not edit it. 
    I am a complete novice using XML or codes.  I'm learning alot from these boards though.    I know its probably simple.
    Any help is appreciated.

    The attached locks a text field if the date chosen is "08-17-2010". If it is not the text field is accessible.
    // form1.page1.date::exit - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue == "2010-08-17") {
      form1.page1.tf.access = "protected";
    else {
      form1.page1.tf.access = "";

  • InfoPath: Cascading Fields, need to get ID of final selected list item

    I have a two drop down lists in an InfoPath form. They are getting their data from a SharePoint List that has two columns: Objectives, Strategies.
    The drop down lists are cascading. So dropdown list 2 (DDL2) values change depending on what dropdown list 1 (DDL1) is set to.
    So my list looks like this:
    objective 1 - strategy 1
    objective 1 - strategy 2
    objective 1 - strategy 3
    objective 2 - strategy 1
    objective 2 - strategy 2
    The cascading part in InfoPath works correctly. My problem is that I need to get the ID of the item (strategy) selected in DDL2.
    DDL1 gets its values from an external data source (sharePoint list):
    Entries: /dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW
    Value: d:Objective
    Display name: d:Objective
    DDL2 gets its values from the same external data source (sharePoint list):
    Entries: /dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:Strategies[../d:Objective = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/my:SharePointListItem_RW/my:obj]
    Strategy is filtered based on Objective = Objective
    Value: Strategies
    Display name: Strategies
    How can I get the ID of the Strategy selected in DDL2 so that I can write it out to another column that SharePoint can use in a workflow. The only value returned in for DDL2 is Strategy, no ID option.

    Hi Sonners,
    If you want to get the ID of the selected "Strategy" item in DDL2, I think you may need to use the same approach to retrieve the same external data source(SharePoint list have the Objectives and Strategies columns) on another field, then
    filter the list item ID based on the selected Strategy value in DDL2 which equals to the strategy value in that external SharePoint list.
    Or you don't need to get the list item ID of the "Strategy" selected in DDL2 in InfoPath form, you can directly get the list item ID which is filtered by the condition SharePoint list item "Strategy" column value equals
    to the value selected in DDL2 in Desinger workflow, then use the ID value as you want in workflow.
    I have tried a similar method for another requirement like this
    post, you can take a look.
    Thanks

  • How to highlight selected list item in sap ui5?

    I have a list..in which custom list items have been used.
    On click of any custom list item it should get highlighted,
    I am able to click on each custom item...and have added an browser event
    on its click..which changes its color ..
    function to change its color goes like this:
    hbox.attachBrowserEvent("click", function(event) {
                    var idOfHbox= this.getId();
                     $('#'+idOfHbox).css"backgroundcolor","#e6f2f9");
    ALso for each custom list item I have used a button and a checkbox in a HBox..
    So am changing the hbox color (on click event).
    The problem here is...
    When i select one item, and then select another item..both of them are highlighted..
    I want only the current selected item to be highlighted.
    Please guide..

    Have you tried using the SelectionChange event on the list, rather than the browser onClick event?
    I believe the SelectionChange event is fired for each selected and deselected item in the list.

  • How To? Select List item return 2 values (high and a low)

    Can anyone suggest how to make a select list drop box return 2 values for my query.
    eg:
    Pick from
    Last Week
    Last Month
    Last Year
    return high/lo values of
    5-feb-06 12-feb-06
    01-jan-06 31-jan-06
    01-jan-05 31-dec-06
    Such that my query can refer to it as
    select *
    from tabx
    where dte > :parm_lo
    and dte < :parm_hi
    You get the idea ..

    I haven't tested this at all, so it may not work, but the first thing that springs to mind is not returning the two dates, base it on the current date, i.e. have your select list return something like -
    Last Week - Return 'W'
    Last Month - Return 'M'
    Last Year - Return 'Y'
    then use a query something like -
    SELECT *
      FROM tabx
    WHERE dte >
              CASE v ('ITEM')
                 WHEN 'W'
                    THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'd')
                 WHEN 'M'
                    THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'Mon')
                 WHEN 'Y'
                    THEN TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'yyyy')
                 ELSE dte - 1
              ENDLike I said, completely untested and may not work...you may also have to play around with the boundary values (NLS settings too perhaps).
