Multi Row Text Item (Not Text Area)

Is it possible to create a multi-row text item for entering data i.e. a text area WITHOUT a scrollbar?. I know exactly how many rows I need e.g. an address field
The scroll bar looks terrible on printouts when printing off data entry forms.
Also any way of having ruled lines appear in the multi row text field?
regards
Paul

Hello,
No, just use three text items. or a textarea with the style ="overflow:hidden;" should supress the scrollbar

Multi-row menu item with highlight effect (JDEV - 100202.0230.5526)

I am using the PS2 JDEV ((JDEV - 100202.0230.5526). Is it possible to have a multi row display for a menu item (af:commandMenuItem) while preserving the highlight/roll over selection effect of a typical menu item in af:menu. I would like to display an image (which may not be possible to display as an icon attribute), a description and another field (such as count) below the description.
The menu will then be a list of such items. I would like to then have user select this as a menu item, when the user scrolls to any such item, keeping the rollover/highlight behavior.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the response. Is there an example/code snippet for this (using commandLink). Or any other mechanism possible to get similar behavior (if not using commandMenuItem) for highlight in case of multiple components (as a single row/item) ?
Thanks again.

How to create a muli line text area using JavaFx

Hi all,
Since the preview SDK does not contain TextArea any more, I am wondering how to create a muli line text area using JavaFX. The behaviour of this text area/field should be somehow similar to JTextArea in Swing or StyledTextWidget in SWT.
Does JavaFX have any support for this? What would be a sensible approach to create such a widget?
Thanks for your suggestions,
br michael

This is a pretty old thread (I know I came across this while searching for something similar recently), but I figured I'd throw this out there in case other people might find this useful. As I write this, JavaFX's latest version is 1.3... which may have added the needed functionality since the last post.
You can now create a multi-line text area using a TextBox and by specifying the nubmer of lines and setting the "multiline" value to true. It may not offer all of the same functionality as JTextArea, but it did the job for what I needed... newlines by pressing enter, scrollbar if text surpasses height, etc.
Here's a simple example:
Group {
 content: [
 TextBox {
 text: "This is a multi-line textbox"
 lines: 10 // <-- this may/may not be necessary depending on your situation. Default is 5.
 multiline: true

Multi row update not occuring

I have created a tabular form using the wizard. This form will show three columns (and in addition a checkbox). I would like this form to be updateable in only certain instances. Because of that, I select the columns twice. I make one of them updateable, and the other read-only. Then I have a conditional display for the columns, so that the updateable columns are shown if a status variable in my page is 'EDIT' and the read-only columns are shown otherwise.
The problem is that the multi row update does not occur. If I show one of the read-only columns when in the edit mode, the update is done. Also it is executed if I show one of the editable fields when the page is not in edit mode. But when I show only the editable fields in edit mode, and only the read-only fields when in read-only mode, the process is not run.
What can I do about this? Why doesn't the multi row update occur?

An alternative is to control the updates by controlling the buttons. Only show the submit/update button if the status on the page is "EDIT".

Multi-row sub query returns ORA-00904 :invalid identifier error

I am creating a report from two tables that I am not joining. I want a single line for every row in table1 that meets a date range. Table2 can contain none or many rows for each recored in table1. I want to get up to two fields from table2.
I was using a case statement to check if there was data and then an in-line query or subquery. Once again, the idea is to have a single line on the report for each table1 record.
I get this error with the code below. It seems the nested multi-row subquery can not see the a.cr_mas_cr_no identifier.
ORA-00904: "a"."cr_mas_cr_no": invalid identifier

Iceman,
Thanks for the reply I will try your suggestion.
I will try and explain why I think two subqueries (an in-line query with a subquery?) are required. I will use the creation of the column RTP #1 as the example as the RTP #2 column is only different in the rownum selected.
Looking only at the lines that fail, here is my analysis. (If I rem out the two case lines the query runs, I just don't get two columns of data I need.) I will only examine the first case as the second is changed to extract the second approval via the rownum = 2 criteria. The first statement checks there is at least one RTP approval stored for the request and then gets the user who approved the request if the test is true.
case when
(select count(appr_user) from crrm_cr_approvals where appr_cr_no =a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP') > 0
then
The above part works fine and the correct count of approvals is returned.
(select appr_user from (select * from crrm_cr_approvals where appr_cr_no=a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP') where rownum = 1)
end
"RTP #1",
I moved the parenthesis to the correct location. There can be multiple approvals for a given parent record. Some parent records need one, some need two approvals. If I replace
(select appr_user from (select * from crrm_cr_approvals where appr_cr_no =a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP') where rownum = 1)
with
(select appr_user from approvals where appr_cr_no =a.cr_mas_cr_no and appr_type = 'RTP' and rownum = 1)
The correct result is returned because it returns exactly one row as rownum=1 limits the query. When rownum = 2 then the query returns null as the rownum never gets to two as the rownum column is built via the set created by the second subquery.
The subquery builds a set of approvals for a specific "cr_no" and appr_type of "RTP". the outer query then looks at the rownum of the second query
Here is where I got the rownum information from;
http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/oracle/06-sep/o56asktom.html
So here is what I think is happening;
1. Main query From and Where are processed. This should provide the "set" for the query
2.The from subqueries for RTP #1 and RTP #2 should be able to access the a.cr_mas_cr_no field and build a set from the approvals table.
3.The RTP #1/2 subquery (inline maybe a better description?) would then get the correct row from the from subquery.
The error "invalid identifier" refers to the a.cr_mas_cr_no field. I assume it means it can not resolve the table alias inside the subquery.
So maybe your grouping would help, I will try.

"1) it takes TOOOOOO LONG for multi-row tabs to close when i click "close all/other tabs" and 2) it takes TOO long for Firefox to appear after i click the icon on the desktop"

1) When many tabs are opened in multiple rows (say 50 or 100) it may take an enternity for them to close after I click the appropriate command
2)MOre often than not, it takes the browser too long to appear (open) after I initiat it by clicking the desktop or start menu icon.
NB: My first question is PRIMARY (critcally important) and second is additional (would very much like to receive an answer but it's not critical).
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards, Dmitry.

Sorry about the bookmarks misread, I installed a Multi-Row Tab style, not for me but it in use deleted 126 of 130 tabs in about 3 seconds and then the last 4, no idea why that happens with the with the multi-row style.
Did those 100 pages have web forms in them that you filled in an Firefox may be saving data along with the session.
Here is a test page that you can quickly load up to 120 tabs at a time with an extension such as "Linky". See it if it takes an eternity to close them with the Multi Row tabs extension you are using, then try the same with the extension disabled. Works fast for me all tabs are on one row.

Multi Row Insert

I have read a few posts that mention a multi-row-insert but I can't find it.
There is a multi row update and a multi row delete.
I am using html db 1.6. We will be upgrading after we get this version of our app up and running, but don't want to take time out for the upgrade right now.
Is multi_row_insert new to Application Express 2.0?
Thanks,
Gregory

No, the multi row insert is not new to 2.0
The builtin MRU processes handle multi-row updates and multi-row inserts. However, the default Add Rows process that the wizard creates on a tabular form does create only 1 blank row when you click the Add Row button. To increase this, just open the Add Rows process page and change 1 to a different number.

Request For Quotation - ME41 - Item texts are not getting copied

I created one RFQ (Request For Quotation) by copying from the existing one (through t-code ME41). But item texts are not copied.
How can this issue be resolved..?
In menu path ( Item --> Texts --> Adopt Text ), "Adopt Text" option is available. But its in disabled mode.

just use F4 to get a valid entry, it is only grey to prevent manual typing

Item text and item note are not transfering from SRM to ECC on to PR

Hello Expers!!!
Due to some requirement we added some logic in BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW to print the used ID of the shopping cart creator on PR under item text requisitioner tab. but after moving these changes to production the item text(Vendor text) and item note(internal note) which are maintained in the shopping cart are not printing on the Purchase requisition under item text and item note tabs. these two texts were printing correctly before moving our changes.
please suggest me how this item note and item text will print on PR. Is it a standard functionlity in SRM 5.0?
is this because of move over changes?
suggest me to resolve the issue....
thanks in advance...

CD Reddy

"Link That Displays Item In Folder Area " option for a Text Item not there in 9.0.2

Hi,
In the previous version of Portal when you created a content area item of type text. there were four display options
1) Item Displayed Directly In Folder Area
2) Link That Displays Item In Folder Area (i.e on a page for a folder)
3) Link That Displays Item In Full Browser Window
4) Link That Displays Item In New Browser Window.
In release2 of protal the option number 2) is removed.
We were using option 2 as we added different portlets and style sheets on content area page because of which we were able to get the desired page.
Now in the new release this option is not there.
Any pointers to the issue.
or Is there a default style and page design which is used while opening the details of the text and whether that default can be modified or not?
Regards
Kapil

Hi,
Please post this question in the content areas discussion folder.

Text area not displaying all rows

I have a SQL query as the source for a text field that returns several rows. However, the text area (display as text (do not save state)) only displays the data from the first row in the query. How do I get the rest as well?

SQL as source assumes you will return exactly one value. If you return more, it only takes the first. Instead, use a function body and return a concatenation of what you want:
declare
l_retval varchar2(32767);
cursor c1 is select v1 from t ...
begin
for c1rec in c1 loop
l_retval := l_retval || chr(10) || chr(13) || c1rec.v1;
end loop;
return l_retval;
end;

New lines created in excel when displaying multi-line text item value

Hi all,
I put the value of a multi-line text-item into a csv file :
DECLARE
file_filter VARCHAR2(256) := 'Export Files (*.csv)/*.csv/All Files (*.*)/*.*/';
fExp VARCHAR2(256);
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
fExp := get_file_name ( directory_name, file_name, file_filter, NULL, SAVE_FILE, TRUE);
IF fExp IS NOT NULL
THEN
set_application_property(cursor_style,'BUSY');
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen( fExp, 'W');
linebuf := NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_TRAITE,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.NUM_ANFR_ID,'') || ';' ||
 NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.ver_fiche,'') || ';' ||
 NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.titre,'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_creat, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_valide, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_STATUT,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.label_reg,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.prenom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom_societe,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.comp_bnc,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.motifs,'') || ';' ;
Text_IO.Put_Line( in_file, linebuf);
Text_IO.Fclose( in_file);
set_application_property(cursor_style,'DEFAULT');
END IF;
END;
And when I opened the csv file then the remaining lines , that is from the second line , of the column "motifs" are displayed through the column A of excel. The "motifs" multi-line text-item has 500 as its Maximum Length property value, and has a Char Data Type property value.
So how to display all the motifs' lines through the same column M without displaying the remaining lines in column A ?
Or are there tips to remove CHR(13) characters from a multi-line text-item ?
Thank you very much indeed.

Hi,
I tried to do it in different way. What i did is I have created a item of type formattted text and set its text like:--
<html>User authentication failed. <br*> Cause: Invalid password.</html> --remove *
So I am able to see the prompt like :-
User authentication failed.
Cause: Invalid password.
Hope this helps you...

Possible to highlight a row in text area which in turn would fire an event?

I'm making a GUI of which the main portion consists of a large text area. The text area would list problems that our company is experiencing - each row would represent a problem. Each row would give a problem ID and a description of the problem. I want to make it so that when the user clicks on a row (a problem), another dialog box would open which would present possible solutions to the user regarding the problem at hand. How would I write code to highlight a row which in turn would fire an event opening up another box?
I thought about going about this another way - have a drop down (jcombobox) integrated into each row which the user can choose from but I'm not sure if you can insert a drop down into a text area (and neatly into a row at that!) so I think the former way may be preferable.
Thanks in advance.

If a java application is required (as opposed to a web-based solution using HTML's linking capabilities) the best approach might be a JList implementation. It could go something like this...
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class ListFrame extends JFrame
   public ListFrame()
      super("JList example frame");
      getContentPane().add(getListPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
      setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      pack();
      setVisible(true);
   private Component getListPanel()
      JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
      final JList list = new JList(new Object[]
         "List option 1...",
         "List option 2...",
         "List option 3..."
      // This will make sure only one item can be checked at a time.
      list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
      // Handle the selection here.
      list.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener()
         public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e)
            // No need to go on if this was a deselection.
            if (e.getValueIsAdjusting() || list.isSelectionEmpty())
               return;
            // This is where you would have to convert the value that's selected into whatever
            // it is you want to display to the user. This example just puts the text of the
            // selected item into a messagebox.
            Object selectedItem = list.getSelectedValue();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(ListFrame.this, selectedItem);
      list.setVisibleRowCount(5);
      // The scrollpane will control the scrolling of the list (so you can have as many options
      // as you want). Standard JScrollPane functionalities can be used to control various
      // visual aspects of the list.
      JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(list);
      scroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
      panel.add(scroll, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      return panel;
   public static void main(String[] args)
      new ListFrame();
}I know this is quite after-the-fact, but I hope it helps (if you hadn't already solved the problem :) )

Read Only Display of Radio group and Text area with counter not working

Hello,
I am using Apex 3.2, with 10g for the database
I have this form, with fields that will set to read only when status = 'closed'
All of the fields display as read only except for 2. I cannot figure out why this is not working correctly.
1st field is Issues that is a text area with character counter, with a sql query behind it, that is set to null unless the query is pulling in the data.
2nd field is Status which is a radio group that will not display as read only when status = 'closed'
I have other fields on the form with the same format and they change to read only when the status = 'closed', I have even copied the pl/sql expression from one field to these fields and it still doesn't work correctly. I have also tried javascript for an on load event, which works, but once I click on the save button, it disables all of the page items, which works correctly, but I purposely forget to enter information, to make sure the validations are firing correctly, which it does, but the script disables everything, not allowing me to correct the errors. The javascript is firing on the on page load event.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Mary

Dung,
That API seems to have a bug, it returns true/false/null, so you could use 'return not nvl(htmldb_util.current_user_in_group(p_group_name => 'APP Admin'),false)' to get a false value.
Unfortunately there's another problem: using the read-only attributes for checkbox or radiogroup item makes them hidden. My suggestion would be to create another item that has disabled="disabled" in the HTML Form Element attribute in the item definition and display that item or the non-disabled item alternately, using conditions based on the current_user_in_group logic.

Text Area for long text not appearing properly for BBP_POC_DISPLAY Service

Hi,
In our development we have added additional Icon at ITS in Process PO transaction and onclicking that icon Web dynpro AB screen called with the Purchase Order No of selected row .(SRM 5.0)
There is one more icon in Web dynpro screen on click of that Purchase order service open in ITS with display mode .This is achieved with service BBP_POC_DISPLAY from Web Dynpro-AB.
This is also working ok only the issue is in Document tab of PO The Text Area for long text appear at Top .This functionality is working fine with BBP_POC service from ITS .
Has anybody faced this kind of issue ?
Thanks,

Hi SMS,
I am unsure of the additional component you are talking about. In general, issues with text area misplacing, is solved by note 1067625. May be you can check it.
