OVS on read-only input field

OVS will not allow me to change the value of a read-only input field. If the input field is set to read-only, the OVS selection table does not display an 'OK' button, only close.
Value cannot be copied (field is not editable)
I do not want the field to be editable on the screen, but only allow input via the selected row in the OVS. Any suggestions?

Using Dictionary Search Help and OVS in this case will disable the Copy button and you don't have any control.
Use Freely Programmed Value Help, this will solve your problem

Read-only input field error

I have an input field marked read-only on a form. When I run the application, select the read-only field, press enter, then Save (validating action), I get a WebDynpro exception saying that I attempted to modify a read-only context attribute. This does not happen if I select the field and press other keys (such as characters)... only when I press enter. If I make the field disabled (instead of read-only), this error is avoided because I cannot even select the input field - but I would rather use read-only because it doesn't gray out the field at runtime. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
-Dave

When you select the inputField and press enter the OnEnter action of the inputField is being called.
When you disable the inputField it prevents you from entering values as well as accessing it actions also.
When you try to keep you context attribute as read only and keep the input field as enabled it is similar to trying to modify a read only attribute which is not permissible.
Hence the error.
Revert for further clarifications.

Search help unavailable in Read-only input field since EHP4

Dear Experts!
I have a problem with a Portal page since the deploy of the EHP4. The page has standard input fields with Search Helps. I needed to have the input field non-modifiable so the user would have to use the search help to get the proper information.
Prior to the EHP4 installation, I set the input field to Read Only in the WebDynpro explorer, this disabled the editing while permitting the user to use the Search Help.
Since the installation, the search help is no longer visible or accessible on a Read Only standard inputfield.
Do you know if there is a way to allow the search help on a read only field?
Thanks so much for your answer,
Brian Foster.

>Since the installation, the search help is no longer visible or accessible on a Read Only standard inputfield.
This was a conscious design decision on SAP's part that disabled or read-only fields should no longer fire value help. I am aware that this situation was used in the past as you describe. It is even still used in SE80 for the Web Dynpro ABAP wizards. However usability studies showed that this often confused end users and therefore it is no longer allowed. The field must be input enabled to fire the attached serach help.

How to populate read only input field or text view form value help only

Hi experts,
I have one requirement to populate a read-only field or text view from value help.
User cant put any value there.value comes only from the value help.
For example,
when we read context using Code Wizard,we cant type any value there.value only comes from value help.
How to implement that functionality?
Please reply.
Thanks in advance,
Subhasis.

Yes it is possible.
1.Create a context Attribute and then bind this attribute to the Text view UI element.
2. read context attribute and then set value to the context attribute like this way.
DATA:
    elem_context1                        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,
    stru_context1                        TYPE if_first=>element_context ,
    item_potxt                          LIKE stru_context-potxt.
get element via lead selection
elem_context1 = wd_context->get_element( ).
stru_context1-potxt = 'PO'.
elem_context1->set_attribute(
    VALUE = stru_context1
    name   = 'POTXT'
thanks

Read only af:inputText being rendered as "span" instead of read only input

I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
I have noticed that when using components such as "af:inputText" and "af:inputDate" with the "readOnly" attribute set to true, the resulting render is a label as a "<span>" element as opposed to a read only <input> element which I would have expected. I see the expected behavior if I utilize the JSF "h:inputText" component with "readOnly" set to true, however I cannot utilize the JSF component as it does not appear as though I can get "autoSubmit" behavior to work with the JSF component so that will not work. To add on to the oddness of the behavior, if the af:inputText has its Rows attribute set to be greater than 1, it will render as a read only <input> element as opposed to a label.
In addition, the af:inputText's default readOnly form looks glaring when using the simple skin or other skins based on simple. It adds a box that wraps around the exact length of the text in the inputText as opposed to the amount of area that the inputText would have consumed if it was not in "readOnly" mode.
Is there any way to properly get the af:inputText to render as a read only input as opposed to the label that it is currently being displayed as?
Thank you.

Hi,
its a decision made by the component renderer. If this is a problem for you and if you have a customer support contract then you could file a service request for a change.

How to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout

Hi, does anyone know how to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout? I am using: Style Class = AFFieldNumberMarker, but it only seems to work if the field is disabled. Disabling the field gives it a difference appearance that does not look right on our forms. These are calculated fields, which cannot be modified, so read only is necessary.
I have looked online for some answers, and it seems that others are having similar issues.
I have tried different combinations for the properties, but so far I cannot get it to work.
Thanks

Help with read only text field

trying to refine a KW form
I don’t want user to enter value in a box so I made it read only. $<input name="proptax" type="text" size="10" readonly="true">
Validation says:
"true" is not valid value for the "readonly" attribute in any of the currently active versions. See the above warnings for more details.[HTML 4.0]
So now what?

DW's validation gives me an error. W3C says it's ok. I wonder why DW (v8) disagrees.
Actually I 'disabled' the field instead which actually works better for me but they all behave the same, errors in DW and ok in W3C
Thanks

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....

Read-only/hidden fields in self request form

I have a prepop plugin for one of the field which generates a number from an oracle sequence, i don't want requesters to modify it, so I would like to either hide it or make it read only.
Also, can i put some label/help text to put in some instructions?

Have a look at the following link for section- *19.1 Step 1: Creating a Request Dataset for the Resources* -> *19.1.1.3 The AttributeReference Element* ->Optional Properties -> approver-only

OAF: Error While Formatting a Read Only MessgeTextInput field of an AdvanceTable "$#,##0.00" format.

Hi Gurus,
Please see the below issue I am facing while formatting the field in OAF.
Situation:
Custom BidPG page extends a shared region.(sharedRN.xml)
and in SharedRN I have a advance table, with 5 columns each having MessageTextInput read only Items.
While the page is getting loaded values are coming from action fired in the PFR. and getting formatted with a $#,##0.00 format. which I have done over bean of all MessageTextInput items
using below code in process request.
Formatter formatter = new OADecimalValidater("$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)", "$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)");
OAMessageTextInputBean NetincPerMac = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("item243");
NetincPerMac.setAttributeValue(ON_SUBMIT_VALIDATER_ATTR, formatter);
Above formatting is working for below cases.
285 becomes $285.00
230.45 becomes $230.45
But in case if there are numbers like 234.254 it will be formatted as $234.254. Here it wont set the precision to 2.
I want to display till only 2 digits after decimal.
please let me know Where I am going wrong or missing some steps to do so.
I have tried below approaches but it did not worked out for me.
          OADecimalValidater dval= new OADecimalValidater("$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)", "$#,##0.00;($#,##0.00)");
           dval.setMaxPrecision(2);
          Formatter formatter = dval;
Also , I have tried to set Currency Code as well to USD but it didnot worked out for me.
Please let me know how we can set the precision to 2.
Please note: in process request I dont have data in the bean, I have tried writing a method in controller and setting precision to 2.but it errored out for NULL values coming from bean in process request.
Please reply. Its an urgent issue needs to be resolved.
Thanks,
Premanshu

Read-Only data fields/parameters

Hi
How can I make a data-field (parameter) Read-Only?
For instance : let's say, someone (an Admin) has filled in data into a user form, and saved it. Someone else (who does not have similar Admin status) signs in, and views the form.
I want the second person to be able to view as well as Edit the form. But, not ALL the fields. Some fields should be uneditable (i.e., read only). He can see the data in those fields. But, he is not allowed to modify them.
How is this done?
Thanks.

example how this field is non-editable on condition basis, you can use your condition
<Field>
<Display class='Text'>
    <Property name='value' value='Solanki'/>
    <Property name='title' value='Last Name'/>
    <Property name='disabled'>
      <cond>
        <eq>
          <i>10</i>
          <i>10</i>
        </eq>
        <s>true</s>
        <s>false</s>
      </cond>
    </Property>
</Display>
</Field>

Default value for Read-Only Picklist Field

Hi, all--
I would like to have a default value ("Undetermined") for the "Associated Account" read-only picklist value. I have an account record of this value for this purpose. This is because if there is no value in the field, the record will not be included in a report that includes the field. I do not want to make the field required at this point.
Field management doesn't appear to allow any default value for read-only picklists. Does anyone know how to get around this, either at the lead record stage or at the lead report stage (without resorting to an analytic, which won't work for what we are doing)?
Thanks.

That's a great question. It doesn't appear as though you can select it from the typical method of Admin | Application Customization | Lead | Lead Field Setup | Associated Account.
Have you tried creating a workflow to populate the field using Before Modified Record Saved?

Make a read-only text field open by using button and javascript

Hello
I have a form with text fields that I will pre-populate with data. The text fields will be read-only by default. I want to make it so that when a user wants to make edits, he will need to click on a button and in turn, the text field's background will turn gray and he can make edits to the text field. I can already make the background turn gray but I cannot make the text field open.
This is the code that will run after the button is clicked:
color.ltGray = new Array("G", 0.75);
this.getField('TestField').fillColor = color.ltGray;
this.getField('TestField').access = "open";
The text field's background turns gray but it is still read-only. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Focus on Read-only Text field = accelerators not working

Pretty much explains the problem.
In a desktop Application i am developping are different accelerators defined which are working as long as the Editable fields of the frames do have the focus.
If the Focus is on a read only Field or one of the internal Frames (or somewhere else where you cant type in data) ALL of the given accelerators dont work.
I just ask this in case of its a known bug (i havent found it as a bug) because since we have our own framework to write swing applications it could also be a bug of that;)
Thanks for every reply.

Read Only Form Field based on Authorization

Hi there,
I'd like to make a field in a tabular form read only based on an Authorization scheme, like you can for a region field by using a PL/SQL condition. Is there any way to do this?
Cheers,
Andrew.

hi Andrew,
please choose the REGION REPORT link and choose the column you like then see Authorization Scheme tab then select the option your named AS you want to give .
Set DISPLAY AS TEXT (SAVE STATE) it will show only no edit action can perform by user.
thanks
Mark.
