Populate Username on a text field in seeded page

Is it possible to populate some of the text fields in a seeded page with the username who is logged in and accessing the page.
Harshad

Hi Harshad,
Extend the controller and in the processRequest method write this code-->
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
String userName = pageContext.getUserName();
OAMessageStyledTextBean bean = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("ButtonID*");
System.out.println("Setting ViewAttr of CoverageVO");
bean.setValue(pageContext,userName);
*-->Button Id which you have created through personalization.
Also attach this extended controller through personalization.
Thanks

How to populate USERNAME into a text field [SOLVED]

Hi all,
Forms 10g(10.1.2.0.2), Windows XP
In my form I have 2 blocks.
Block 1 with only one item, where we enter some value and hit enter(this will navigate to block2 and execute the query).
Block 2(tabular) will fetch the records. Now this block2 have 3 columns(caseid, userid, date).
Now when I insert a new record, I just need to enter the caseid only. And userid and date have to be automatically populated.
I'm able to populate date by setting Initial Value property to *$$DATETIME$$* for the date column.
And I tried many ways to populate USERNAME into userid column without any success.
I tired something like this
In *When-New-Item-Instance*
if :System.Cursor_Item is null then
     :BLOCK2.userid := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME);
else
     null;
end if;
/*In this case, I can navigate to to the last recrord w/o any changes in the fetced records
and while inserting the new record, USERNAME doesn't populate.*/
In *When-New-Record-Instance*
declare
     v_dummy varchar2(15) := null;
begin
     v_dummy := nvl(:system.cursor_value, null);
     Copy(to_char(v_dummy), :System.Cursor_Item);
     if :System.Cursor_Item is null then
          Copy(null, :System.Cursor_Item);
          :BLOCK2.userid := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME);
     else
          null;
     end if;
end;
/* Nothing populates into the userid item while inserting new record */Any help please...

Hi Ammad,
It is populating number 73 (which is not my username) into the field.
And when I changed it to :BLOCK2.userid:=GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY('USERNAME');
I get FRM-40735 WHEN-CREATE-RECORD trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502
Also when the new record is inserting, the user shouldn't be able to edit userid and date fields. But this is also not working...

Drop down lists populating text fields on a page different from the dropdown.

Hello all,
I have a form with several pages. The first page contains a number of drop down lists. These drop down lists, when an option is chosen, is to populate a text field on another page. I can get the drop down list to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script doesn't work. Can anyone offer a solution? I've used javascript on change for the scripts.

Thanks Paul,
I have been able to solve the drop down list question, thanks to your help.
I have another question that involves locking specific fields in a four page form which contains approximately 100 fields that need to be locked before the end user completes the remaining fields. How do I lock individual subforms so that the remaining fields remain open and editable? The final version of the form, will have at least 200 fields in it that will also need to be locked in sections.
I can lock all the fields using the lock all fields button, but have been unable to make it work for just part of the form.
I've emailed the draft form. It would be really helpful if I had one example of a locked subform on the form I'm struggling with.
Thanks for your help.

Duplicate a Text Field on Every Page of a Document?

Today I wrote my first vb.net/adobe app. I managed to open the pdf doc in adobe and create a named text field. I managed to insert a java script that gets the current date when the document is open and updates the text field. I would like to duplicate the text field on all pages of the document. Manually, I can right click on a text field and select duplicate. I don't see a property or method that allows me to program this. The field property "page" appears to be read only. any help would be appreciated. thanks.
page
The page number or an array of page numbers of a field. If the field has only one appearance in the document, the page property returns an integer representing the 0-based page number of the page on which the field appears. If the field has multiple appearances, it returns an array of integers, each member of which is a 0-based page number of an appearance of the field. The order in which the page numbers appear in the array is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order). If an appearance of the field is on a hidden template page, page returns a value of -1 for that appearance.
TypeInteger | ArrayAccessRFieldsallExample 1Determine whether a particular field appears on one page, or more than one page.var f = this.getField("myField");
if (typeof f.page == "number")
console.println("This field only occurs once on page " + f.page);
else
console.println("This field occurs " + f.page.length + " times);

I also tried the brute force method of moving from page to page and creating a text field on each page. I used pageNum to changes the page, but, adobe didn't seem to recognize that. I saw the page change on the screen, but, all of the textfields were created on the first page!

Changing font/-size of a text field on master-pages not possible? (field prop)

Hi,
I would like to change the font and font-size of a textfield on a master page.
I wonder if I do anything wrong, because the font-options (size, font etc.) are simple greyed out / not avaliable, when I click on my text field.
It seems, there is any way to customize the font-properties of a textfield (only) on master-page.
Well I guess it would work with java script in init-event ... but really, why the hell it should not be possible simply to use the properties/text properties?!
Please correct me if I am wrong. Do I do anything wrong or is it really not possible to customize font of a text field on master pages?

Hi,
I was just about to post, that I figured it out.
Actually, I use Livecycle Designer in SAP (transaction SFP). There seems to be a bug (one of hundrets by the way).
If I click on a field, that does not have text-property e.g. subform, text-option menu greys out.
Afterwards it stay this way until I click/doubleclick into a simple text (not text field). From that moment on, text/font-option menu is available again, until I click on something without text. => So pay attention and click wisely
coming soon: "SAP meets Livecycle Designer - a (Bug)Lovestory", hardcover 124 Pages. ; )
by the way: SAP does not sopport interactive forms higher than Reader 8.1. Its statement "8.1 is fine enough for everything you need in a SAP/Adobe Interactive Form". So beware of using XFA higher than in 8.1. sad, but true ...

How do I auto populate the date into text fields when form is first opened?

Hello,
I read all about the changing the scripts but its not really working for me. I was hoping someone could help me with directions on how to auto populate the date into designated text fields when my adobe document is first opened?
I am working in Adobe Acrobat 9.
Thank you,
Sheri

When you add a new document JavaScript (Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts > Script Name (enter something) > Add), you will be given a function skeleton by default. Just delete it and enter the line of code I showed above. Now, whenever the document is opened, the code will get triggered and the field will be updated with the current date. There is no "Document Open" action (at least that's accessible via Acrobat's UI), but this is effectively the same thing since any document-level JavaScripts are executed when the document is opened.

Auto Populate Drop Down and Text Fields from Other Drop Down and Text Fields

Hi everyone
I'm trying to pre populate a "Proposed Employment Status" drop down field with the selection from the "Current Employment Status" drop down field and allowing users to select another option if the proposed employment has changed. If it hasn't it would just remain as populated by the Current Employment Status" entry.
I'm also trying to do this with text fields eg "Proposed Position Title" is populated with "Current Position Title". If the title changes in the bew employment arrangements users can enter it over the Proposed Position Title that is presented when the Current Position Title is entered.
I can get it to work if the drop down or text field names are the same, but this doesnt solve the problem.
Any ideas
Regards,
Michael

Java is a full featured-language and you shouldn't have any problem doing the mathematics, etc.
As far as the rest, Studio Creator is a relatively easy way to create the user interface that you describe. If supports drop-down selectable lists and standard form capabilities. A Web Application architecture would appear to be ideally suited to what you describe, and this is supported by SC. Be aware that this would require a server to serve the application to the client computer.
If the server is a problem you could consider an applet that would be downloaded from a website, and then run entirely on the client computer. But the first approach is better.

Usage of attribute1 field of base table as a text field in OA Page

Hi Gurus,
Could you please let me know if attribte1 field of an oracle base table can be used as a simple text or LOV input field in OA Page, NOT as a DFF Field.
Thanks in advance.
With warm regards,
SKA

In my case, Attribute1 is reserved for DFF. But I have to use it with a Text Input Item. OA page is showing the value stored for attribute1 in database. But it doesn't store the value in Database through OA Page. I am able to save other fields of the same VO through same OA Page, but not attribute1.
Is it because attribute1 is registered with DFF or some other reason??
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Loop through user text fields on a page

I am new to APEX and I have searched for an answer to this problem, but was not able to find one.
I have a page which has about 40 text boxes for user input. I would like to find a way to loop through all of the text boxes on the page when the user submits the form. I want to check the contents of each text box and filter out any characters that are not alpha or numeric. I would like to do this in one process. Is this possible? If so, how would I access the text boxes and remove the unwanted input? Could you please show me an example?
Thanks for any guidance on this.

Hi,
I did not test this, but could something like after submit process work
DECLARE
l_temp VARCHAR2(32000);
BEGIN
FOR C IN
(SELECT item_name
FROM apex_application_page_items
WHERE display_as   = 'Text Field'
AND application_id = :APP_ID
AND page_id        = :APP_PAGE_ID
LOOP
    -- Do stuff e.g. remove character Ö
    l_temp := REPLACE(v(c.item_name),'Ö');
    APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE (
      p_name => c.item_name,
      p_value => l_temp
END LOOP;
END;Br,Jari

How to populate text fields with data present in a table

Hi,
The page i'm building has got a select list for the primary key column and text fields corresponding to rest of the columns in the table.
upon selecting some value from the list, the data corresponding to that row should get populated in the respective items. I don't want to add source in each item. can't i create a process or something else where this is done for each item.
for eg there's a table with columns A(primary key) and B.
there is a text fields on this page.
this textfield should populate the data from the table whenever i submit the page such that teh value in B is select B from tablename where A = the selected value.
Thanks
Dhirendra

So I assume page was not built using a wizard. Why on earth you would want to I dont know, but you could create an "After Header" pl/sql process to populate the relevant fields, assuming the id was know on entry to the page. If you want to select the id on the page and then populate the fields, guess you will need to use a "Text Field (always submits page when Enter pressed)" and then use an "On Submit" process to populate the items.
If you are using an Automated Row Fetch, remember to select "Set memory Cache on Fetch" in that process.
Hope this helps.
