Problem in selection list associating component labels

There is a "for" attribute on component labels to associate the label with a specific control. When popping up the list of components to associate a label with I expect the following:
* A list of components from the current page.
Instead there is a long list with duplicates and many missing component names and many names from other pages. It would quickly become unusable if all component names were placed in that list box, even if the path to the associated page was displayed and it's not.
Also, there are "add" and "remove" buttons on that dialog. What purpose do they serve? That is to say, you cannot make up component names that do not exist and removing component names from all but the most gigantic pages does not seem to achieve any result.

That would work. The current mechanism for associating buddy controls with labels is not practical even if the bugs were fixed. There are plenty of examples of Creator features that are glaring in terms of what they fail to provide but nevertheless it is an impressive first release.

Problems with customizing select lists and popup LOVs

Hi
I have 2 problems about select lists and popup LOVs.
The first one is about a select list in a tabular form.
It should be created with APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV or similar and take its values from a named LOV.
This worked fine but now it should also have the possibility to enter a free value.
I tried to accomplish that by creating a APEX_ITEM.POPUP_FROM_LOV, but there is a problem with the function that is called by the arrow icon right to the input field (for eg. genList_f11_5()).
If the row is added by addRow, then it works fine, but if the row is is not empty
then the function call is like genList_f11_$_row() and the input field gets no value, when a LOV option is selected.
The other problem is about a select list which should have the possibility to enter a custom value and
also there should be the possibility to select several values. I tried to implement this by a text area containing the selected values and a multiple select list, with an event handler in each option. The user could click options and they would be copied to the text area. The problem is that I couldn't make the event handler work in IE.
I would appreciate any ideas about either of these problems.

Hi,
If you download application you can see source.
I have not write any instructions, sorry.
If you are on Apex 4 you can just load jQuery UI autocomplete library and take ideas from my app.
If you download my sample in zip there is uncompressed htmldbQuery library.
You can see that and take only function htmldbAutocomplete.
Then check jQuery UI document
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#method-search
There is method search that you can use open list just by click of input.
I hope this helps at start.

OnChanger="get_ajax_select_xml(this);" with select list (query named LOV)

Hello,
i used Vikas'example Re: cascading lov for tabular form
i have a problem with Select list (query based LOV)
when run tabular form i have the following error:
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
the number of rows of the Lov are 900
the display variable is 70 char
is there any limit?
Thank in advance
Costanti

Leo,
Thanks for the response, but I don't think you quite understand my problem. If I go to the Column Attributes screen for the group_id field, I have the "Display As" drop down set to "Select List (query based LOV)", not "Select List (named LOV)". This requires that the sql query be written in the "List of values definition" text area below. Within that text area I have the following query:
SELECT DISPLAY_NAME, GROUP_ID
FROM APPLICATION_GROUPS
WHERE APP_ID = ?????
ORDER BY 1
The APP_ID that I need to reference is for the current row of data that is being processed. Therefore, I can't use a :PNNN_APP_ID variable, because that field does not exist on the page.
Hopefully this explains it a little better.
Thanks,
Kris

Chart based on Select list with submit Lov problem

Hi,
I have one page with interactive report showing username with links, date and
database actions.
Another page contains one region having flash chart based on select list with submit Lov.
The lov is created by dynamic query.
Every time when i click the 1st page report link, the 2nd page lov is populating the value automatically. But the problem is chart displays NO DATA FOUND message though the LOV has many values.
I don't want to display any null values so set to NO for LOV
I tried to write Before header computation (PL/SQL Function Body) to set the lov value, but the query is displayed as such.
I don't want to assign any static default value also as the values are dynamic for every link.
The following is my Before header computation of Select list with submit (Item name is p11_schema). (PLSQL Function Body)
begin
if :p11_schema is null then
return 'select distinct owner schema1, owner schema2 from auditing
where access_date=' || :p11_access_date
|| ' and username=' || :p11_username
|| ' order by owner';
end if;
end;
This is my chart query.
select null link, obj_name label, sum(sel_count) "Select", sum(ins_count) "Insert", sum(upd_count) "Update", sum(del_count) "Delete" from auditing
where username=:p11_username
and access_date=:p11_access_date
and owner=NVL(:p11_schema, OWNER)
group by owner, obj_name
Example: If there more than one records in the lov, the graph should display the 1st record. When i select another record, the chart accordingly display the selected values. But inially it should not display "NO DATA FOUND" message.
I tried using all the combinations of computation type for the lov, SQL query ( I could not use if conditon then), PLSQL expression, PLSQL function body. But it does not work out.
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply.
I found out the solution for this problem as below.
But i did it in different way to tackle the dynamic query wich returns more than one record using rownum always the 1st record when it is empty instead of assigning constant (static) value like '1'. And i am returning LOV itself for both null or not null condition as below.
Declare
q varchar2(4000);
begin
if :p11_schema is null then
q:='select distinct owner schema from auditing';
q:=q || ' where username=:p11_username ';
q:=q || ' and access_date=:p11_access_date ';
q:=q || ' and rownum<2 order by owner';
Execute immediate q into :p11_schema USING :p11_username, :p11_access_date;
end if;
return :P11_SCHEMA;
end;
Thanks.

Automatic Selected Item of List Builder Component Does not work (anymore)

Hi all,
Í'm working with Xcelsius Engage 2008 (version 5.3.2.0) and the automatic selection of an item at runtime of the list builder component does not work anymore. In a previous version it worked very well.
Here's the case: at runtime I want that the list builder component automatically puts the first item in the list to the destination section and selects it, so that a graph can show the underlying pushed data. In the previous version it worked o.k., but now at runtime the destination section remains empty at startup. If I interactively select an item from the source section to the destination section and update the list builder, the data is shown correctly, but it must done automatically, which worked o.k. in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008...
This are my settings of the list builder component (which was running correctly earlier..):
-at the general tab I defined a range of labels
-at the general tab I defined 2 data column insertion series
-at the behaviour-common tab I defined selected items: position mode; items: the first item of the label list; insert items at runtime
-all of the data comes from an external xml data source
You can find an example of the visualisation at: http://onderzoek2.evinet.nl/projecten/10169/dynarap.htm. You will see that at start-up there is no item visible and selected in the destination section of the list builder....
I've tried every combinations of settings, build up the component from scratch, but its not working (anymore).
Greetings Erik-Jan Vriens

Hi njnits,
Print view button is a standard component of Xcelsius: look at it in the IDE
Exporting to Powerpoint is also a standard functionality, so yes. For this particular dashboard/report all data resides in an external xml-file which have to be accessible for Powerpoint
All visualisations, not only the table, in this/report fetch their data from an external xml-file, but a QaaWS-connection will also do the trick. You will have to write this dedicated service. In our case the xml-data is also generated automatically.
The external data is best defined as a sort of matrix, consisting of approx. 100 columns by 1000 rows. I agree it takes a lot of Xcelsius but it does the job....
Hopes this info helps....

Problems using "Edit Column Widths" feature in List View component

Hello. I'm using a list view component (Xcelsius 4.5 Professional) to display a simple table of text from Excel. I want to adjust the width of the component colums so that all of them fit on the screen at the same time- regardless of how wide they are in the excel columns. The problem is the columns in excel are of variable length; I have no way to predict how wide they will be. The list view component always defaults to the widest column(s) so it ends up pushing some of the columns to the right and I then have to use the scroll bar to see them. I thought the "edit column widths" would allow me to force the column widths in the component (potentially truncating some of the columns), but it does not work that way.
How is the "edit column width" feature supposed to work? What does one enter in the value for each label? Are the units in pixels? When I start entering values I get all kinds of strange behavior...

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Can you order by label of select list in tabular form?

Imagine this scenario, you have an updateable tabular report based on a query like the following:
select emp_id
      ,ename
      ,dept_id
from employeesAnd you define the dept_id column as a query based lov, so you see a select list for departments.
select dept_name d
      ,dept_id   r
from departments
order by 1However if the user chooses to order by the department column by clicking on the heading to sort, they see the following order (note the H between A & B):
Accounting
Human Resources
BiodiversityWhich is because of the ID not being in the same order as the label
1 - Accounting
3 - Biodiversity
2 - Human ResourcesHow can I allow the user to order by the lov based column, but have it order by the label and not the reference id?
A colleague reckons she fought and lost this battle. Surely this must be a common issue? I can't seem to find any related questions.
Cheers,
ScottWe.

>
Option B: Convert to manual tabular form. Here is a sample of the report query (leave column display as at "standard report column").
select e. emp_id
      ,e.ename
      ,'<input type="hidden" value="'||d.dept_name||'" />'||APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(3,e.dept_id,'select dept_name ,dept_id from departments order by 1') dept
from employees e, departments d
where e.dept_id = d.dept_idI recently had problems when I had to apply a script to a page that used this technique: basically too many <tt>input</tt>s. Never understood why this element is used—guess it's the fact that it's "hidden". Anyway, an HTML comment works as well and is more out of the way:
select e.empno
      ,e.ename
      ,''||APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(3,e.deptno,'select dept_name ,dept_id from departments order by 1') dept
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno

Select List problem

I have 3 select lists: the first two are with submit and the last one is just select list. Each list depends on the previous one.
I have set null and default values for each list. The problem occurs when I first start the application, but after selecting an option in the first list all is fine and when I reset the fields everything works as it should.
So the problem only occurs when the application is first launched....
This is the error message:
Error: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected performing List of Values query: "SELECT TESTTIME d, TESTTIME r FROM TESTSETUP WHERE TESTDATE = :P3_TESTDATE and TERM = :P3_TERM ".
How can this be corrected?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank - Greg

I have set null and default values for each list
These values are not available in committed session state for the subsequent select lists to use.
Solution: Create a OnLoad Before Header computation (conditional upon the value of the select list being null) to set it to whatever null/default value you want. This will "initialize" the value so that your dependent select lists can work properly.

Problem writing a sql query for a select list based on a static LOV

Hi,
I have the following table...
VALIDATIONS
ID          Number     (PK)
APP_ID          Number
REQUESTED     Date
APPROVED     Date
VALID_TIL     Date
DEPT_ID          Number     (FK)
I have a search form with the following field item variables...
P11_DEPT_ID (select list based on dynamic LOV from depts table)
P11_VALID (select list based on static Yes/No LOV)
A report on the columns of the Validations table is shown based on the values in the search form. So far, my sql query for the report is...
SELECT v.APP_ID,
v.REQUESTED,
v.APPROVED,
v.VALID_TIL,
d.DEPT
FROM DEPTS d, VALIDATIONS v
WHERE d.DEPT_ID = v.DEPT_ID(+)
AND (d.DEPT_ID = :P11_DEPT_ID OR :P11_DEPT_ID = -1)
This query works so far. My problem is that I don't know how to do a search based on the P11_VALID item - if 'yes' is selected, then the VALID_TIL date is still valid. If 'no' is selected then the VALID_TIL date has passed.
Can anyone help me to extend my query to include this situation?
Thanks.

Hello !
Let's have a look at my example:create table test
id        number
,valid_til date
insert into test values( 1, sysdate-3 );
insert into test values( 2, sysdate-2 );
insert into test values( 3, sysdate-1 );
insert into test values( 4, sysdate );
insert into test values( 5, sysdate+1 );
insert into test values( 6, sysdate+2 );
commit;
select * from test;
def til=yes
select *
from test
where decode(sign(trunc(valid_til)-trunc(sysdate)),1,1,0,1,-1)
       =decode('&til','yes',1,-1);
def til=no
select *
from test
where decode(sign(trunc(valid_til)-trunc(sysdate)),1,1,0,1,-1)
       =decode('&til','yes',1,-1);
drop table test; It's working fine, I've tested it.
The above changes to my first idea I did because of time portion of the DATE datatype in Oracle and therefore the wrong result for today.
For understandings:
1.) TRUNC removes the time part of DATE
2.) The difference of to date-values is the number of days between.
3.) SIGN is the mathematical function and gives -1,0 or +1 according to an negative, zero or positiv argument.
4.) DECODE is like an IF.
Inspect your LOV for the returning values. According to my example they shoul be 'yes' and 'no'. If your values are different, you may have to modify the DECODE.
Good luck,
Heinz

Upgrade to 10.1.3.4: Problems with multi-select list

Hi,
We upgraded from BiseSEone (10.1.3.2) to 10.1.3.4 (using BI EE). One of the features we were longing for was the improved multi-select list in the dashboard prompts (with a efficient search support). But after the Installation the multi-select list doesn't work at all. There are no data offered and the frames are missing. What could be go wrong here ? There were no problems during the installation. I told the installation to keep the configurations.

Select List (based on LOV) query problem

Hello experts! I have a small problem here, which I can't seem to overcome.
I have a page item (select list based on LOV), which is based on a query. The query returns all potential employees of a department that are responsible for a certain duty. So far so good!
The problem is that there are two departments, which should not only see there own employees but also the name of the employee that has carried out a certain task. However, due to my query, the name of that person is not displayed - only the pk is returned.
Do you have a recommendation how I display all employees of a specific department and have additional values translated as well?
My query is as follows: select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where cnt_bearbeiter in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK) union select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where int_behoerde in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK where STR_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK = lower (:app_user)) whereas :app_user holds the information of the department.
Any hint is appreciated!
Many thanks,
Seb

Okay, I just had the right idea and it's working well! Sorry for posting!
I return the name of the employee that has edited a dataset and simply add all others of the logged on department! Really easy! Should have thought of that before posting! ;-(
The correct code is select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter a, vt_tbl_punktdaten b where a.cnt_bearbeiter = b.int_bearbeiter and
inv_pt_id_sub = :P4_PTIDS
union select str_bearbeiter, cnt_bearbeiter from vt_tbl_bearbeiter where int_behoerde in (SELECT
CNT_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK FROM TBL_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK where STR_REGIERUNGSBEZIRK = lower (:app_user))Bye,

Multiple value selection lists - Problem filtering

I'm builing a news application with publisher, and one of the fields is a multiple value selection list. We're filtering news stories to different pages based on the values. Problem is, I can't get the right content items to display. I did it no problem with a single selection box. The code I'm using is:
<pcs:foreach expr="folderByPath(folder, '../../Articles')" var="articles">
     <pcs:foreach expr="articles" var="art">
          <pcs:if expr="art.testkeyword == 'choice2'">
               </pcs:value>"><pcs:value expr="art.headline"></pcs:value></a><br />
          </pcs:if>
     </pcs:foreach>
</pcs:foreach>
So if 'choice2' is in a single select list, no problem. If it's part of a multiple select, I get nothing. I'm thinking I'm missing something really easy, like logic operators. But I couldn't find anything of help in the documentation

Hi,
Make use of contains function.
Syntax : contains(string1,string2) this returns true if string 1 has string 2
Usage
<pcs:if expr="contains(test,'A')">
</pcs:if>
** 'test' is the name of the multi select box

Apex 4.0 Cascading Select List: ajax problem with german umlaute

Hi everybody,
Apex 4.0
Dad PlsqlNLSLanguage: GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252
I have problems with german umlaute and ajax cascading select lists (Cascading LOV Parent Item).
The data is populated without a page refresh in the select list when the parent select list changes but special signs like german umlaute are shown as weird characters.
Seems like there is some charset problem with ajax.
This is the only part of the application where special signs like umlaute are messed up. Everything else is fine.
I allready tried to figure out if I can escape the umlaute in the javascript (file apex_widget_4_0.js) but no success here.
Can anybody help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Markus

Hi Markus,
your specified character set in your DAD is wrong. As mentioned in the installation instructions at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/install.40/e15513/otn_install.htm#CHDHCBGI , Oracle APEX always requires AL32UTF8.
>
3. Locate the line containing PlsqlNLSLanguage.
The PlsqlNLSLanguage setting determines the language setting of the DAD. The character set portion of the PlsqlNLSLanguage value must be set to AL32UTF8,
regardless of whether or not the database character set is AL32UTF8. For example:Regards
