Problem rendering a combo box in the data grid

Hi,
I am rendering a combo box in the data grid control using an
item renderer. When I click on it to select a value from the drop
down, the combo box immediately closes giving no time to even click
on the dropdown. This doesn’t happen every time the combo is
clicked, although it happens frequently. What I think is that the
problem arises because the data grid tries to refresh the renderers
and during this process, the existing combo is removed, thereby
getting closed automatically. Please let me know of a work around.
Thanks,
Cheree

Combo Box with duplicate data

Hello All,
I am creating a form with a combo box but the data from the table is duplicating. Can anyone provide guidance on how to make the combo box only display only two choices of the data? For example, when the box is selected the drop down list
will have multiple/group of 'Yes' and 'No'. It appears that everytime a record is added to the table, it gets duplicated. I think I'm overlooking something from working long on this and it maybe something simple/obvious. Any
help would be appreciated, thanks.

As Bruce said you can use the DISTINCT predicate to suppress duplicate rows, but if you are getting duplicates in a combo box's list it suggests that you are querying the wrong table as the Control's RowSource property. If we take a simple example
of a combo box to list states, then the following would return duplicates of the table contains rows for two or more cities in the same state:
SELECT State
FROM Cities
ORDER BY State;
You could suppress the duplicates with:
SELECT DISTINCT State
FROM Cities
ORDER BY State;
but the correct solution would be:
SELECT State
FROM States
ORDER BY State;
i.e. in the Cities table State is a foreign key column referencing the primary key of States. You might ask why have a States table at all as the values are already in Cities? The answer is that by having a States table you can enforce referential
integrity in the relationship between Cities and States, preventing the insertion of invalid State values into Cities. Without protecting the integrity of the database in this way errors in data entry will sooner or later occur (Murphy's Law is infallible
in this respect!). I have personal experience which is testament to this, having once found three versions of my own name as author in a table of references to technical articles in my own field of work. As far as the database is concerned this
makes me three separate people! The table should have referenced the key of an Authors table of course.

Problem with combo boxes and the reset button in certain situations

Hi Everyone,
i have a problem to make the reset-button function properly in an what-if analysis dashboard.
The dashboard uses two combo boxes that are not visible at the same time. In my application the second combo box only appears when a dedicated menu (label based menu button) has been activated.
So i have combo box 1 when menu A is active an dand combo box 2 when menu 2 is active.
After starting the dashboard initial values are fine. If you then directly change to menu 2 (seeing combo box 2 with
the correct default value) and press the reset button, the dashboard returns to the initial view, showing
the menu 1 with the correct default value. If you now switch back to menu 2, you will see, that the combo box 2
is empty (i.e. nothing selected).
I also tracked the destination cells for the combo box value results as well as the source cells for the "selected item" and the
destination cells for the "Insert Selected Item". All this values seem to be correct. Therefore i assume that
this is an issue of event handling. Maybe the combo box 2 does not refresh its selected value because it is already
invisible when the values are restored.
This case can easily be simulated by placing two combo boxes and a push button (that changes the visibility of
the combo boxes) and the reset button on the canvas.
Maybe someone can help. I am able to provide a test xlf, if neccessary.
Thanks,
Oliver
P.S. I am using Xcelsius SP4 (Version 5.4.0.0)

Hello Debjit_Singha_86,
thank you for your support. At the moment i have the following setting:
label based menu
- General: Insertion Type "value" from a list of ID's for the menu-items to a dedicated cell (current menu ID, say tab1!$A$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) fixted to item 1
hidden combo box
- General: Insertion Type "position" to a dedicated cell with the current choice (say tab1!$B$1)
- Behavior: Selected item (position) to the same cell (tab1!$B$1)
Can you give me a hint on how to connect the two components according to your solution, so that the label based menu sets the default for the hidden combox box only in case, that the reset button is pressed?
Thanks,
Oliver

Using Combo box at the backend

Hi,
I am using combo box at the backend to filter rows to a particular destination.
The problem is the labels are going to populate at the runtime and the selection of item in combo box is also going to populate at the run time. I have an icon which inserts eg: country in a cell, then this cells is used by combo box as a item selection(label) to filter rows from source. But unfortunately the comb box is not selecting any value i.e no item is selected dynamically. But if i manually drill down it is working but the label is not changing dynamically based on the changes in label by icon.
For eg my data:
Country and profit populate at run time
Country          Profit
India               5000
Germany        4000
Now i have icon which selects country (hard coded in excel) upon clicking the mouse on it and inserts in A1 suppose the value hardcoded is "India". Now this A1 is used as a "selected item" for combo box. the source to combo box is the above country and profit which populates at run time.
Now when i execute the dashboard. The value is inserted in A1 after clicking the icon but it is not picked up by combo box as "item selected" and hence combo box does not filter any data.
Can any pls help.
Thank you. I will award full points for correct solution.

Hi Monammed,
The said functionality should work. Please check your logic one more time. Also, try using some spreadsheet components mapped to the cells in question and understand how the data is flowing during run-time. This will help you test things. Delete spreadsheets when you are done with identifying the issue.
Lets check the combo box mapping one more time : Map the source of the combo to the entire range; labels in the combo box ONLY to the country column in the source range(typically this may be the left most column in the range); selected item should be mapped to the cell that has the destination for the icon and the type for default selection may be dynamic. Well, if there is any hard-coding of values involved anywhere, do check the spellings and other trivial things.
Do let me know if this was helpful and if you need any more help.
Thanks,

How to disply the input text box when the data in the table is empty

Hi,
I m using JDeveloper 11g 5.1.1.1 : How to display the Input text box when the data in the table is empty or by using the dual table.
Since there is no record in the table, screen is displying only the lable. not displying the Input text box.? Any property is there to enable?.
One more case i tried by using dual (eg Select '0' as name from dual) created one view object and dragged in the JSF screen as input combo box with list of values.
In this case also it is not displaying the combo box.Just displaying the Lable name and 0 only.

Ring or combo box control of date

Hi, I am developing a GUI with ring or combo box indicating possible date, i.e., month, day, and year. Or is there a way to create multiple items ran sequentially in a ring or combo box control.
the time stamp is alright, but can't get rid of the current time display in the set time and date dialogue . thanks alot.

Hi rookieprgmer,
You will have to format the date into a string to create a ring that contains all the data for the month, date and year. One method for separating the date from a timestamp is to use the Get Date/Time String. You could then take the date string and use it in the ring or combo box. Attached is an example of how to use that function.
What do you mean by running multiple items simultaneously in a ring or combo box?
Hopefully I covered what you were asking about.

Combo box in the system form

HI
We r assuming " freezing = Absent"
When we select " freezing" in the combo box in the system form, "Absent" should be displayed in the matrix for the particular row in the user form.
Freezing should be displayed as Absent
Working should be displayed as Present
what is the coding for this process . can anyone help me...

Edited by: bhuvana eshwari on Jul 30, 2008 6:45 AM

Hi Bhuvana,
In the combo Select Event, get the user form and then get the matrix then set the value. The code sample is as follows.
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_COMBO_SELECT
                            If oCmbBox.Selected.Value = Freezing Then
                                 oForm = getForm("UserFormID")
                                 objMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("UID").Specific
                                   objedit = objMatrix.Columns.Item("V_14").Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific
ObjEdit.String = Absent
ElseIF oCmbBox.Selected.Value = Working
           'Use same logic
EndIF

Populating the data grid

OK I think that is resolved but I cannot pull the Data.
The Grid does not populate with data......Just keeps trying to pull it.

<cfset var selectAll = "">

<cfquery name="selectAll" datasource="#dsn#" dbtype="#i#">
Also, where are the 'dsn' and 'i' variables defined. They do not appear to be part of this function. Using a CFC function remotely has a great effect on what variables scopes may or may not be accessed.

Hot to use the data grid to edit column objects

I have a simple object type:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TIMESLICE AS OBJECT
SINCE TIMESTAMP (6),
UNTIL TIMESTAMP (6)
And a simple table with one column containing objects of this type:
CREATE TABLE TABLE1
COLUMN1 TIMESLICE
I can insert into the table:
INSERT INTO SLICES VALUES (timeslice (NULL, NULL));
But when I try to use the data grid and write there the same string "timeslice (NULL, NULL)" as value I get the following error during commit:
One error saving changes to table "TABLE1":
Row 1: ORA-06550: line 1, column 55:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got CHAR
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
The data grid interprets the value as characters instead of an expression.
How do I have to enter the object in the data grid?

Is it possible to access the cache datasource inside the script component which is available in the same data flow task??
Thanks in advance,
Saravanan

How can change the font in the script output and the data grid ?

How can change the font in the script output and the data grid in Sql Developer?

You can't easily unless you have the latest version (2.1.1).
If you do have this version then changing the font in the Tools/Preferences menu under the code editor/fonts section will also change the font of the data grid.
For details of changing the fonts in an earlier version then see Sue's post below.

How to determine # of recs in the data grid - with filter being used

Say I'm looking at table or view that has 10,000 rows. I put a filter on the filter line such as state = 'WA'. Let's say the data grid (where I see the data clicking the 'data' button) now has 2,500 rows with the filter in effect.
So, how do I tell how many rows are in the data grid now? I can see how to retrieve the total number of rows for the table or view, but how when a filter is in effect.
Thanks.

Okay thanks.
Sure would have preferred to see (dare I say ... like TOAD) where you can just right click in the data grid and choose record count.
But thanks - I'll use the COUNT method (till of course it's added 8-)

Extract all the data grids in one click

Hi All,
I need to download all the data forms that i have in the system.
We have a fat hierarchy and i'm looking for a short way to extract all the data grids without extracting from every folder in the hierarchy separately.
I don't care about the type of the file/files. it can be one long file...
Do you know what action i can perform here?

Hi,
What operating system are you using? What version of Excel are you using? It's possible you are using a version of Excel we do not support. Also, can you send me an email with your exported Excel file, so I can try opening it myself? My email address is [email protected]

Problem w/"combo boxes" cause the user to double click for the dropdown menu, but not for everyone.

I have created a form with Adobe Acrobad Pro 9.
There are a few "drop-down" boxes for people to choose options from. I created them with the "Combo box" option. They work perfectly fine on my laptop (Lenovo T500 windows 7, with all updates up to date.) I sent the file to another exact same computer and that's when the problem came up. When you click on the drop-down, the list will quickly appear and then disappear. Then if you click it again it will stay open so you can choose your option. However this only happens on "some" computers but not everyone's. I emailed the exact same form out to other people in my office and they do not have any problems with the form. There is no need to double click the drop down, it will just open up properly for them.
Has anyone come across this? And if so, is there maybe a setting on these specific laptops that is preventing the "combo box" to not work properly? I need to use this specific laptop as a "Kiosk" like a "check out" station for users to fill out the form to check out equipment. I will be running in Reader so people can not make changes to the form. (both the Acrobat Pro 9 version and the (most up to date) Reader version of the PDF form does the same "double-click" problem) I need a date drop down and an equipment type drop down.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks !

I've got this kind of problem with a form of mine (designed with LCD) :
- combo boxes with font-color changing event handlers on :enter
- on Acrobat 9 Pro : no problem
- on Reader 8.3 :
- first click seems to execute the event handler but stops the combo's opening
- second click does open the combo
Do you have event handlers on combo:enter ?
Could the difference between comps where it works and comps where it doesn't be Acrobat's version ?
