Popup "balloon" over form item

I am have a form based on a table and am wondering if it is possible to have information come up either in balloon style (there only while mouse is over the object) or in popup window format (small window user must close, as seen with the oracle help "?" feature). The purpose would be to give the user a small blurb of detailed information about what they are supposed to be typing in that text area in the form. And then have that functionality for each of the text areas in a form. Does this make sense?

Diane,
When you edit the form, enter HTML like the below, into the label definition text for the form item or column.
<span title="popup balloon explanation">Column Label</span>
Don't know if this works with all browsers

Popup menus in Forms 10g and Java Bean

Hi all.
What class in Java corresponds with popup menus(not in menu module) ?
I know that oracle.ewt.lwAWT.lwMenu.LWPopupMenu is corresponds with MenuBar's submenu. I can find Buttons, Text Fields, Menu and other components in my Form-Applet, but I don't know how to find popup menus in forms through Java Bean...

Hello François,
I have created a java bean that dynamically creates a popup by left-clicking on the bean.
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item' ) ;
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_SEPARATOR', '' ) ;
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item one' ) ;
          Set_Custom_Property( 'BLOCK.BEAN', 1, 'ADD_ITEM', 'Item two' ) ;
My problem is the layout. I want to simulate a button. I can't put the bean transparent over a button and I can't simulate a button with the bean.
How can I add the popup functionality to a button and not only to the bean? Or any other workaround?
Regards Pedro.

Getting a form item to load first in target page

according to ben forta who i met many years ago, cf loads the complete page and then does functions in a particular order. i.e. includes, queries, etc.
my problem is that i am sending over a unique identifer in the formset that is needed in an include on each page of my cart (i don't use cookies or sessions and don't want to get into that).
what i want to know is if there is a way to force cf 10 to look at form. items first. the page needs that number or the include (header.cfm) crashes.
i also have that issue with cfabort where cf does a lot of functions before it recognizes that tag which can really foul up things if a variable isn't there.
site needs to be pci compliant
tnx in advance,

I receive no errors as stated in the original post.
Eventually the webpage does load, but it takes 2 minutes for anything to start happening.
During that time, the program is responsive, but displays no errors or status messages.
This happened in Firefox version 6, as it did for the other poster in this thread.

Beginners question - making sense of form, item, pane & variable (with relation to where data is stored in the SQL database)

Hi Everyone,
I am new to writing reports (SQL code) for SAP, however I am aware that inside SAP Business One it is necessary to enable System Information (from the View menu) in order to see which tables (and related table attributes / column names) are related to various aspects of the various SAP 'modules' (e.g.: A/R Invoice).
Using an A/R Invoice as an example I can see at the row (or line) level that an item with the description of 'Opening Balance Transfer' is contained in the table INV1, within the attribute (or column) called Dscription.
However not every 'on screen object' shows a table / attribute. For example in the same A/R Invoice if I hover my mouse over the Balance Due field all I see is Form related information.
My question is 'How do I make sense of the Form, Item, Pane, Variable information?', with relation to where data is stored within the SQL database?
Links to online tutorials explaining how this feature of SAP Business One will be much appreciated, along with any personal advice regarding working with this information.
Any (and all) help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Hi David,
1.Here I am explaining use of each field except pane
a. Form ---> Used in additional authorization creator
b. Item, column--->Useful in creating Formatted search queries (FMS)
c. Variable --> Some of the field values based on another values. ie. indirect values.
d. INV1---Table name
2. How to get variable?
As per your second attachment, to get balance due ,you need doc total field from OINV table. For example,
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[DocTotal] FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.[DocNum] = 612004797
Thanks & Regards,

Session Problems: "Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items""

Hi, I am developing my first application using Struts and JSP. The Action Form loads an object called reportGrid into session and I am trying to display it on a JSP page. Displaying simple variables works fine, but I can display an object. The error I receive is: Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items"
My object is made up of a group of ArrayLists looks similar to this this:
        private List affiliateID;
     private List affiliateName;
     private List product1;
     private List product2;
     //etc for about 10 listsThe object is filled with data from a result set and placed into session like:
     HttpSession session = request.getSession();
     session.setAttribute("grid", reportGrid);The goal is to display each list in its own column in a HTML table.
<table>
<tr>
<c:forEach var="affiliateName" items="${grid}">
          <td>
               <c:out value="${affiliateName}" />
          </td>
     </c:forEach>
     <c:forEach var="product1" items="${grid}">
          <td>
               <c:out value="${product1}" />
          </td>
     </c:forEach>
     <c:forEach var="product2" items="${grid}">
          <td>
               <c:out value="${product2}" />
          </td>
     </c:forEach>
</tr>
</table>I'm sure this has been asked before but I could not find any examples in the forums. I can place an ArrayList directly into session and iterate through using <c:forEach tags but when I try to do the same with an object it gives me the error " Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items" ".
Does anyone have any examples of pulling and displaying an object in session which contains ArrayLists? I have been stuck on this same error for a while and any help will be greatly apreciated.
James.

What is the type of grid?

How to validate htmldb_item form item

I have a multiple row form item using htmldb_item.text ( so that a user can enter a quantity for that row item ).
How is validation best handled to ensure that a value is entered for that row?
note: there is also a htmldb_item.checkbox on the row that the user checks to flag that an operation should be done.
Thanks as usual
Bill

for what this is worth:
as scott said, only checked values are passed through from htmldb_item.checkbox'es over to the htmldb_application.g_fNN arrays. that's just how conventional web checkboxes work. if you want to keep your checkboxes in your form, just do their processing in a separate loop. if you're having a hard time keeping the values of your checkbox array matched up with the other htmldb_item values from their corresponding rows, just make sure your checkboxes return values you can use to identify your checked rows. so if you were going against the emp table, i'd suggest having your checked values return EMPNO's...
select htmldb_item.checkbox(1,empno) c from emp
...that way you could more easily match those empno's up with your other htmldb_application.g_fNN values during your page processing.
hope this helps,
raj

Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items" in forEach&gt

I try the following
I have form , bean , servlet and JSTL
in bean I have constructor like
public MyForm(String a_item) {
this.a_item = a_item;
in servlet
MYForm uf = new MyForm(a_item);
userSession.setAttribute("underform", uf);
in jstl
I have
<c:forEach items="${sessionScope.underform}" var="found">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">
<tr><td align="left" valign="top">
<c:if test="${found.a_item=='on' }">
<li> <input type="checkbox" name="a_item" checked></li>
</c:if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I GET THE ERR Don't know how to iterate over supplied "items" in <forEach>
HOW CAN I Persisting data by the request by as an object ??
thank you!

so you suggest the method oneConsidering that I said exactly the opposite, it is a mystery to me how you could possibly have drawn that conclusion. I don't intend to keep repeating myself or to keep clarifying statements that are already perfectly clear. If you don't understand something, please say so. But don't put words into my mouth thanks.
that means all logical will be handle on bean and not servlet is needed?Once again I have no idea what you mean by this question.
what is the role for the servlet in MVC?And I have no idea what you mean by this question either, or how it relates to this thread. A JSP is a servlet in case you didn't know.

Cycle form item

hello every one,
i've a problem. I load my form ( created by screen scraper) after the click of a button created by me.
But when i open it once when i click the button. I want to open this form every time I click the button. How can I make it? thanks
If pVal.ItemUID = "button1" And pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_CLICK And pVal.Before_Action = True Then
            CreateForm()
end if
Private Sub CreateForm()
        '//load form created by Screen Painter
        Dim oXmlDoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument
        oXmlDoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument
        If Not (oXmlDoc.load("C:\Documents and Settings\neos\Desktop\Demo\primo_form.srf")) Then
            MsgBox("Error Loading xml")
        End If
        SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(oXmlDoc.xml)
        oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
        '//support Settings feature for grid/matrix
        '//Add condition to the CFL bound to the button
    End Sub

You cannot load the exact same XML file over and over, since it has the same unique ID.
You will need to modify the unique ID property of the form, before you load it.
Here's the function i've written to open XML forms:
Function SBO_Load_XML_Form(ByVal FileName As String, ByVal Title As String) As SAPbouiCOM.Form
    Dim XmlDoc As New Xml.XmlDocument
    Dim Form As SAPbouiCOM.Form
    Dim Form_UID As String = Settings("FormsUniqueIDPrefix").ToString & Settings("Form_Counter").ToString
    Try
      XmlDoc.Load(FileName) ' Get the XML code from the .xml file specified
      XmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Application/forms/action/form/@uid").Value = Form_UID
      XmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("Application/forms/action/form/@title").Value = Title
      SBO_UI.LoadBatchActions(XmlDoc.InnerXml) ' Load the form to the SBO application
      Form = SBO_UI.Forms.Item(Form_UID) ' Get the form's object by its unique ID
selected
      Form.Left = (SBO_UI.Desktop.Width - Form.Width) 2
      Form.Top = (SBO_UI.Desktop.Height - Form.Height) 2
    Catch ex As Exception
      Msg(ex.Message)
      Form = Nothing
    Finally
      Settings("Form_Counter") = CInt(Settings("Form_Counter")) + 1 ' Increase the form counter, to support the forms' unique ID
    End Try
    Return Form
End Function
For the smooth handling of the unique form IDs (and for other stuff) I use a 'settings' hashtable, defined like this:
' Hash for keeping general settings
Public Settings As New System.Collections.Hashtable
' somewhere in the code, in the initialization functions, i've put the code below.
' this code makes the form unique ID to prevail even if some forms load badly
' and even if you stopped your addon and restarted it while some of your forms
' are still loaded
      Hash.Add("FormsUniqueIDPrefix", "myNameSpace_")
      ' Calculate the form counter, so new forms will be created with correct ordered numbers
      Dim Form_Counter As Integer = 0
      For i As Integer = 0 To SBO_UI.Forms.Count - 1
        Dim FormUID As String = SBO_UI.Forms.Item(i).UniqueID
        If FormUID.StartsWith(Settings("FormsUniqueIDPrefix").ToString) Then
          Dim tmp As Integer = CInt(FormUID.Substring(Settings("FormsUniqueIDPrefix").ToString.Length))
          If tmp > Form_Counter Then Form_Counter = tmp
        End If
      Next
      Form_Counter += 1
      Hash.Add("Form_Counter", Form_Counter)

How to update a report from a form on the same page when form item changes

I have a portal form from a table and a portal SQL report with a bind variable on a page. I want the report to get updated with details based upon what was selected from a form item. The form item is a selection from a dynamic LOV. Whenever the form item gets changed, the report should get updated to reflect the change. Can this be done using a javascript ONCHANGE event?
Oracle Portal Version is 10.1.2.2.0.

Your applet can open an URLConnection and read directly a document from your webserver.
public String readText() {
java.net.HttpURLConnection conn = (java.net.HttpURLConnection)myURL.openConnection(); ...
}So using JavaScript on your page, you might call readText() to fill that textarea.
The interesting link you gave, handled the JavaScript/Applet interaction. Test that with just return "Hello";.
The real programming is more interesting.

How to identify listeners types for forms, items and events in addon wizard

Dear users,
I have developed a sample addon through B1DE wizards and successfully installed and connected the addon and can view menu and form of my addon. Since i am new to this, i didn't add any listeners to my form, items and events because i don't know what type of listeners to add and what coding to add after adding listeners.
If anyone describe me how to work with listeners, i would be glad. My form has basic fields like BPcode, BPname, Docnum, Itemcode, Item name, quanity, price, total etc. Uptil now my addon form has no function of getting list of BP and Items and calculating the totals based on price and quantity but it has some basic functions like add, update,del, add print view, next record previous, record next etc. which are due to object registration and auto-code generation wizards i think.
Please help me in adding listeners and their relevant coding.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply, Actually I am asking about listeners in the wizard of B1DE, code generator wizard. I think you are telling me about adding listeners directly in the vb.net. Kindly, tell me first, what event type I should add for item, form etc while adding listeners during the wizard. Or If you know some link where event types of listeners are decribed, you are more than welcome.
Thanks,
Farhan

How to fetch the value of tabular form item in javascript

Hello all
I want to do some calculations on the value entered by the user in the textfield of a tabular form, how can I fetch the value of tabular form item in the javascript?
I am using normal tabular form, not using apex_item tabular form.
I can pass the current textfield value to the function using "this" as a parameter, but how can I fetch the value of other rows of that same column?
Thanks
Tauceef

Hi Alistair
jQuery is still not working, but I got it done through some other means, this is the code:
function total(pThis){
var l_Row = html_CascadeUpTill(pThis,'TR');
var l_Table = l_Row.parentNode;
var l_Row_next = l_Row;
var n_rows = l_Table.rows;
var lInputs;
var v1;
var sum = 0.0;
var temp;
var i = 0;
var j = 0;
//alert(n_rows.length);
while(j < (n_rows.length - 1))
temp = 0;
if(l_Row_next != null){
lInputs = html_Return_Form_Items(l_Row_next,'TEXT');
v1 = lInputs[0].value;
//alert(v1);
sum = parseFloat(sum) + parseFloat(v1);
l_Row_next = l_Row_next.nextSibling;
temp = 1;
if(temp == 0){
l_Row_next = l_Table.getElementsByTagName('TR')[1];
lInputs = html_Return_Form_Items(l_Row_next,'TEXT');
v1 = lInputs[0].value;
sum = parseFloat(sum) + parseFloat(v1);
l_Row_next = l_Row_next.nextSibling;
j= j+1;
$x('P78_TOTAL').value= parseFloat(sum);
I am calling this function onblur event of the textfield.
Still I am having one problem, I want to perform this calculation on load of the page also, how can I do that? because while calling onblur of the textfield I can pass that textfield to this function but on onLoad how I will pass the textfield to call this function so that I will be able to get the textfield value in the function?
there may be some rows already existing, so I want the total of the existing rows to be displayed in my P78_TOTAL textfield that is why I need to do this calculation on onLoad of the page.
Thanks

Need to send form item inline of an email

Hi,
I need to send an email with a form item that would send REQUEST and submit a note to a database table text column.
an email with an HTML form w/ submit button..
Is there a link to a HOW TO ?
Thank you, Bill

Hi, Thank you for the link but I already send email in my app....
I guess the real question is:
when sending an email from with in the app, how do you build the syntax to have a button with in the email to take the receiver of the email into the app...
or in the email have a comment textarea and a button
When the email user clicks the button it sends the textarea to the app and updates it.
how do you make it so if the request comes from the email you don't need to logon?
As I typed this I kinda am getting ideas... just to build a form within the email but it is the ? form action line I need to know how HTML_DB needs the syntax to be...
Clear as mud?
Thanks Bill

Move next/previous buttons in a region with over 100 items

Hi,
Is there a way to show items in a region in chunks and then have a move next/previous buttons. I have a region on a page that has over 100 items how can I show 10 items a time and then have move next/previous buttons. I am using 10.1.2.0.2
Thanks

In the "what to search" tab, select the pagegroup where stands your page.
below teh pagegroup selection you got an option named "Which pages should be searched?"
Browse to your page.
Leave the search criterias blank (so taht the portlet won't make any filter)
In the "results display" tab, select the pagination.
Now, your portlet will display all items on your page.
The best way to use it is to put all your items on page1.
Create a page2 with only this portlet configured to serach for all items on page1.
In your portal, just make a link to page2.
hope this will be helpfull.
