Problem selecting a column

According to the user guide:
"1. Select any table cell so that the reference tabs are showing.
2. To select a column, click its reference tab (above the column)."
When I do that the whole table is selected. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

the image doesn't help me any. i can't select a column and centre it, without all cells in the table being centred.
I can do it by manually selecting all the cells in the column, but I have 500 + cells to scroll down through and it takes too long.
I just want to select a column or row and apply a format to it, and I can't do it.
OK, just found out what my problem was. I had merged several cells to create a row near the top. this was preventing selecting anything below. i took out the merged cells and was able to select a column by clicking on the lower, darker shaded portion of the header.

Preview's PDF text select ignores columns and misses word spaces

I have a number of scanned pdf newspaper articles that I was attempting to copy the text from. Preview appears to register the existence of columns, as there is a pale blue background between the columns.
However when I use the text select tool, it completely ignores the column - and just selects across all columns. And when I paste the text into my text editor, it's missing all the spaces between the words, and the font size is always huge.
Conversely, Adobe reader in XP has no problem selecting by column, and the pasted text is also an exact replication of the original content. I don't know why Preview performs so badly in this regard? Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?

Anyone else experience any issues with pdf text select?
Yes, and not just recently.
There is a reason Preview is named, well, preview. It is not an authoring environment and PDFs are not meant to serve in that context either...unless maybe you understand all of inherent the font traps, tricks & tips and how to tune your scanning/OCR software to keep rework to a minimum.
Scanning PDFs is always tricky, and without the occasional heavy metal to bring to the task, it just seems to be that more problematic.
Keep trying, but I'd really suggest to look to other tools at this time.

Selecting Multiple Columns in Segment's Column Formula of BIEE Marketing

Hi all,
in BIEE 10.1.3.3.1 Marketing Tool we are having problems creating a segment.
We need the possibility to create a segment filter that contains for example the sum of two different columns ( Num SMS 1 month ago + Num SMS 2 months ago > 100).
In the "Edit Column Formula Window" the user would like to add the columns from the left panel (like it is suggested in the edit column formula) but this seems to not work, instead when a column is selected a new "Create/Edit Filter" window pops up, therefore the selected column is not inserted in the "Edit Column Formula". We have also tried selecting the "Columns" button but no columns appear ("None").
We have a work around to this but we can only do it by editing the column formula and adding manually the 2nd column and this is not very user-friendly.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your help

How to programmatically select a column in a JTable

Hi,
I'm writing a program which requires me to select a column in the JTable through code. The problem is that I could only find getSelectedColumn() function in JTable and no setSelectedColumn().
Please let me know if there is any workaround for this.

Hi,
table.setColumnselectionInterval(index0,index1);
The above line will suffice your requirement.

Select single column but multiple rows in JTable

Hi
I have a jTable and want to be able to select multiple rows but only in a single column.
I've set these properties which makes selection almost the way I would like it.
table1.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
table1.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);the only problem now is that the user can select multiple columns.
Is there a simple way to restrict selection to single column?
regards
abq

table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
DefaultListSelectionModel model =
(DefaultListSelectionModel)table.getColumnModel().getSelectionModel();
model.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);

Column selection with column tree model

Hello!
I created a column tree model. I would like to be able to select a column when i click on its header. How can I do that? There is no problem to select one item. I try to select all the items of a column but if do that this is the lines which are selected. The item_selection parameter is set to 'X'.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your problem right. But just in case, if you are referring to this...
You say you need a check box to select your nodes. So you would have to add your item names in a separate column and then add the check box in a separate column using ADD_COLUMN method. You would have to use treemcitac structure and make use of ADD_ITEMS to add them.
Once you add the column for check box, code your logic and build your tree hierarchy with all the correct node keys. For example, the root node will have node_key = 1 and parent_key = 0. The node that comes under the root node in the first hierarchy level will have node_key = 2 and parent_key = 1. Code your logic so that you build your tree hierarchy.
Build the tree structure using treemcnota as you have done. Add the nodes built using treemcnota using ADD_NODES.
According to your requirement,
COL1 COL2 (for checkbox) } -> Build using treemcitac
Preimport (Root) -> Root Node
Request Checks (Node_1) -> parent_key = Preimport
Check Req Status (Item_1) -> parent_key = Request Checks (Node_1)
Check Req Scope (Item_2)
Check Req Componenets (Item_3)
Object List Checks (Node_2)
Check obj type (Item_1)
check deletions (Item_2)
Object Checks (Node_3)
"Build the tree nodes using treemcnota and add these nodes using ADD_NODES
Again, I am not sure if your problem is this. Hope this might be helpful.

Problem with checkbox column in matrix

Hello.
I have a little problem with checkbox column in matrix.
Column is binded to the UserData.
It has ValOn="Y", ValOff="N".
I use C++. It is wird problem. In matrix I have 10 columns - scrollbar role and if You want see checkbox column, You must role to the right. If this column is on the screen, and I use:
checkcell->PutChecked(VARIANT_TRUE);
then the checkbox is cheched, and if the checkbox isn`t on the screen and I use this comment - it nothing happening.
I tried to use ValOn="Y", PutChecked...
The problem i solved if the column is on the screen - if the column is first in matrix or second, but if it`s last I have a big problem.
My column with checkbox is not editable, but I tried to make it editable, check it, and then make it uneditable - the same efect.
How can I solve it ?
Sorry for my english.
Kamil Wydra

Hello Kamil,
I am not sure about your problem, but here is an example of how to use checkbox in UI API.
First, create the matrix with checkbox column in Screen painter, and the output is an xml file, like this. Type as 121 indicates that it is a check box.
- <column AffectsFormMode="0" backcolor="-1" description="" disp_desc="0" editable="0" right_just="0" title="Rented" type="121" uid="Rented" val_off="N" val_on="Y" visible="1" width="41">
<databind alias="U_RENTED" databound="1" table="@VIDS" />
<ExtendedObject />
Second, bind the column to table from DB. This is a bug of 2004 Screen Painter, so if you are using 2005 Screen Painter, there is no problem.
Third, when you open the form, you can check and uncheck the cell.
BTW, please set the editable of the column to true.
Hope this helps,
Nick

How to select all columns in a trigger?

I add a "before delete" trigger on a table, in order to insert the records to a backup table before they are deleted.
but I cannot write like this : insert into t_backup select * from :old;

Yes, it is possible by writing something like this :
where col1 = :old.col1; But it is not directly supported. First, we need a package to remember all the OLD records:.... and please see below link for complete code in action :

How do I select multiple columns in a recordset

I am very new to Dreamweaver/PHP/MYSQL
I have created my recordset but I cant work out how I select multiple columns.
How do I select multiple columns, I want to search for data that is spread over different columns.
My recordset looks like this just now.
SELECT *
FROM names
WHERE nameone = john
I have 11 columns where the name john my or may not appear so how would I select all the columns. What would the recordset look like.
As I have said I,m very new to this and forgive me if what i have just said makes no sense.
Thanks

>I have 11 columns where the name john my
>or may not appear so how would I select all
>the columns. What would the recordset look like.
You could try a Full-Text search (if mysql supports it) but on the surface, this sounds like a badly designed data structure. What does your database and table design look like?

What is the difference betwwen SELECT ALL Column and Select Speceific Colum

Hi All,
If the block size of the database is 8K and average row length is 2K and if we select all column of the table the I/O show that it had read more blocks then compare to
specific column of the same table. Why is this?
Secondly if Oracle brings a complete block is the db buffer cache, while reading block from disk, they why there is a difference of block count in two queries.
This difference reveals to me when I check the EXPLAIN PLAN for two different queries against the same table but one select all columns and the other one select specific column.
Kindly help me in clearing this confusion.
Regards,
Kamran

Usually, indexes are smaller (contain fewer blocks) than the table - ergo, select empno from emp could be satisfied by reading fewer blocks.
what if there is a composite Index on a table containing 3 to 4 columns and the size of table is in 100 of GB and Index size itself is vey large then I think Oracle will go for FTS and small Index scan will be expensive. Kindly Share your thoughts.

SAPGUI JAVA 7.10 (OSX 10.5.1): cannot select multiple columns in ALV

Hi,
in sapgui java 7.10 (on mac osx 10.5.1) I cannot select multiple columns in ALV reports.
I can do it only in some transactions (like SE16). But on all our custom reports (REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY) in does not work.
Any hint?
Many thanks,
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,
did you double check if selecting multiple columns works with SAP GUI for Windows in the same report?
If yes, I suggest to file a bug report so we can do a remote logon to run your custom report.
If not it might be because of REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY itself or your parameters calling REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
Best regards
Rolf-Martin
