Programmatically select a cell on pivotTable

Hi,
I have a case where on initial load of a page that contains a pivot table with dates as columns, on the first row, the current day cell should be selected .
Pivottable has a selection property accepting oracle.adf.view.faces.bi.component.pivotTable.Selection but I can’t find how to instantiate and set a proper Selection object.
There are many examples for how to handle similar scenario using table component but nothing for pivot and the documentation is very limited.
Any help for achieving the desired functionality would be very appreciated.

Any help ?

Programmatically selecting a cell in a two-dimensional JTable

The problem is that when a person edits a cell and the value fails validation, I would like to programmatically select the cell. The validation is done in the setValueAt method of a Class extending the AbstractTableModel. By simply returning out of that method, the cell value is set back to the way it was before the user changed it. In addition, I would like the problem cell to be automatically selected rather than requiring the user to click in it to select it. The first question is 1- Is this possible, and 2- Any clues as to how to select it?
We find for examle in Chapter 6 of the CoreJava 2 Vol II Advanced features statements like this on page 399 of, I think, Edition 4, (can anyone tell what edition it is?) by Cay Horstmann
void setCellSelectionEnabled(boolean b)
If b is true, then individual cells are selected (when the user clicks in the cell?). I have researched this problem for several days and don't have a clue how to automatically select the cell although I know precisely what row and column it is.

This is the code to return the focus to error cell.

JTable - Programmatically selection multiple cells

Hi!
I'd like to know wether it's possible to programmatically select certain cells of a Jtable component.
For example:
My Jtable looks like that
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
and I want to select cell 2,4 and 7. How could I do that??
Thanks for answers...

Hello,
I consciously read your thread, but I still can't get the sample code running.
(java.lang.StackOverflowError
Exception in thread "main" )
Would you please give me a hint?
Or better,
send or post me the sample code of your class 'AttributiveCellTableModel', please.
Thank you very much in advance!

Programmatically select a property

Hello,
Is it possible to programmatically select a property for a FP object? Properties for which a value change is required are stored in a database (as are the values itself). I can't use a property node because the poperty to change is not fixed and the database can and will be extended in near future.
Thanks.
Jan

That looks to be a very powerful library of VI's that you have linked to tst.
It looks like they've basically enumerated all the possible properties for all the control types. They some tricky combination of names and tags and the properties saved as binary data and can parse the file they have to determine which VI's to run and which cases of all the case structures to execute to get to the appropriate property node.
I'm going to hold on to this library as it could be very helpful in the future.
I dug into the VI's to see how they were doing this. I came across a property node with a pink top bar instead of the usual yellow, and I've never seen this before. What does it mean?

How can I select multiple cells in tableview with javafx only by mouse?

I have an application with a tableview in javafx and i want to select multiple cells only by mouse (something like the selection which exists in excel).I tried with setOnMouseDragged but i cant'n do something because the selection returns only the cell from where the selection started.Can someone help me?

For mouse drag events to propagate to nodes other than the node in which the drag initiated, you need to activate a "full press-drag-release gesture" by calling startFullDrag(...) on the initial node. (See the Javadocs for MouseEvent and MouseDragEvent for details.) Then you can register for MouseDragEvents on the table cells in order to receive and process those events.
Here's a simple example: the UI is not supposed to be ideal but it will give you the idea.

How to get selected/focused cell from table, and action on clicked

Hello Web Dynpro Community!
i have a view with a table, (id "Table_0");
table is 3x3 size, as celleditors i used inputfields; (standard binding to context with string atributes)
below table i have textarea.
when i select any cell in table i want to add that cell coords to textarea (col and row)
i know that i should use onLeadSelect action, but i dont know exacly how. or to be precise.. how to access to ID and row variables in that action.
the other problem is.. that onLeadSelect seems to work only when i change lead not the cell in same row.. so prabobly there is better way to do that..
any ideas?
Looking to hear from You.
EDIT:
Now i have following problem:
i have a table 3x3 with one column as dropdownbykey box and 2 as TableSingleMarkableCell (and inputFields As editors).
it works as i wanted:
so when i click on one of those input cells, insert vale AND click enter then the action onEnter( for inputfield) is fired... i can get the coords of that cell..
problem is.. that i want to get the coords before i click enter.. just when i click in cell.
i tried to use onAction event for column.. but it doesnt work for TableSingleMArkableCells (but it works for ddk column correctly).
so there is any way to do that?
ie:
below table i have inputfield (called value).
when i click on cell (and DO NOT press enter) i want to see the cell value in inputfield value.
future (and target need) is that i need to show some additional text for specific Cell. (i have an Object with 2 strings attributes, one i want to show in cell, and one in inputfield when cell is clicked).

How do i select multiple cells in numbers or iPad?

Hello,
can you help me? I do not find out how to select multiple cells in a table that do not stand next to each other.
For example, I want to select cells A1, A3, A9 and so on. Afterwards I want to change the colour.
Do you have an idea? Perhaps it's quite simple but I don't find the solution
Sorry, I'm no native english speaker. I hope you'll understand what I am looking for.

HI Ritscho
I do not beleive this is possible, I can see other threads here from 2 years ago asking the same thing and none of them have answers.
You can selesct a range of adjacent cells as Eric said, but not 2 different ranges. I usually use numbers on the iPad for filling in template spreadsheets that I create on my Mac. Most of the formatting I do on the Mac then fill in the blanks whilst i'm out and about.
Not the answer you were looking for but hope it helps.

I plan on buying a new I Pad wit wifi and cell from Apple. But I don't want to select a cell carrier right now. Q 1: Do I have to select a carrier at purchase? and Q 2, In the meantime will I be able to get on line at home using my Cox Internet wi fi? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Now I can feel comfortable in not having to sign up for cellular when I buy, esp. Since I'll be using my new IPad mostly at home on my Cox wi fi. Then I can see, in using the i pad, how often I'd actually use the cellular, and where. This can help decide which type of cell plan I get. Small problem it may seem, but a very helpful answer. Thanks.

How do I select a cell in a multicolumn list box and use scroll horizontal on th

From an event structure, how do I select a cell in a multicolumn list box and use scroll horizontal on the front panel at the same time. I can select a cell from the multicolumn in an event structure, but I cannot move the scroll bar on the front panel when the program is running.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm assuming you're referring to the scrollbar in the multicolumn listbox. What is your code doing when you select a cell? Can you please post your code so we can see the behavior you're describing? It's possible that you're blocking the event structure, as in performing some long operation in the event that's handling the cell selection. In this case the event structure has to wait until the event completes before being able to respond to the next event. You can configure the event to not lock the front panel while waiting for the event to complete.

When selecting one cell, multiple cells highlight

When I am working with Excel 2010, I try to select a single cell however multiple cells get highlighted. It will highlight usually the next 5-6 cells in the same row. It occurs randomly on random cells, but happens about 25% of the time. If I click the
cell and it does its highlighting thing, I usually have to click away in another cell and then re-click the first one to get it to go away. Also, if I just try to ignore the highlighted cells and try to work as normal, when I try to tab to the next cell in
the row, it will only let me tab between the cells in the column that are highlighted. It is not a mouse problem, I am not accidentally selecting multiple cells, and it happens on documents I created as well as documents others have created. It will also happens
on a new, blank document or others completely stripped of any kind of potentially hidden formatting. I have not tried to re-install Office yet, but that will be next step if no one has a solution. Thanks

I ran into this problem today working in Excel 2010 at 90% zoom.
First I tried F8 and Shift+F8 but neither of them worked.
Next I changed the zoom levels up and down and this worked while I was at a different zoom level than the document was saved in but went back to the same problem when I tried working at 90% zoom again.
Finally I came across the fix mentioned below from July 2, 2012 that suggested switching from Normal View to Page and then to Print view and back to Normal and this worked!!! Thanks to all for your input below, you saved my Monday morning!
LIST OF POSSIBLE FIXES:
1. Try using the F8 and/or Shift+F8 [extend selection] to toggle back and forth.
2. Change zoom level of your document up or down [this was only a temporary fix for me].
3. Change page layout between Normal, Page Layout, and Page Break Preview (the 3 boxes at the bottom right hand corner of excel spreadsheet) then back to Normal.

How to sort a selection of cells?

If anyone can answer this question I will be very grateful - here's the scoop: I need to sort the data in a selection of cells that run down several rows - but NOT all of the cells in the entire row. The last column contains formulas which must NOT be sorted - if those cells are included in the sort, all of the data they contain will be out of order and all fouled up. So, I need to select, for instance, A1:G10 - and not touch anything that is in H1:H10. It appears that with Numbers, it's all or nothing - which, if that's true, is a really big problem. I can't sort the entire selection of rows and then drag and replace the formulas in the last column - there are thousands of rows and it has already taken me an hour to straighten out this mess. I can do this in 2 seconds in Excel, which I've used for very complex spreadsheets and models for years - but I expected to at least be able to do some basic calculating with Numbers in a reasonably easy fashion. I am royally frustrated - what is the hidden secret to sorting a selection of cells without being forced to sort an entire row? Thanks for your help!

Numbers sorts apply to the whole table, or in the case of sorting selected rows, to the whole width of the table. For ANY sort, header rows and footer rows are not included in the sort.
Two ways around this limitation are to:
1.
Place the 'non-sorting'columns into a separate table, and use INDIRECT addressing to reference cells on the sorting table.
2.
Write the formulas so as to be immune to sorting. Use column only references where possible and construct cell addresses for rows other than the result row using the ROW() function.
Check the Functions and Formulas User Guide for ROW(), INDIRECT() and OFFSET() for descriptions and examples. That guide and the Numbers '09 User Guide are available for download through Numbers's Help menu.
Post a question regarding specific formulas if you require further assistance.

Barry

Programmatically selecting row in af:table

I have an instance of the <af:table> component that points to a value on a managed bean of type List<MyValueType>.
I need to make the <af:table> have a preselected row, and I have the value of type MyValueType that represents the row I need selected.
How do I programmatically select the appropriate row in the table?
Thanks!

Hi Rune,
1) Expose the adf table to a managed bean property by using @binding attribute, say, requestScope. The property should be RichTable type.
2) Create a method in java class which can find the managed bean created in step 1) by using EL expression and calling its RichTable.setRowKey(int) to set the current row. Other row currency method are also available besides setRowIndex(int).
3) Create Data Control on the java class you created in step 2)
4) Insert the method created in step 2) into <bindings> as methodAction in page definition file.
5) Still in page definition file, insert an invokeAction into <executables> to invoke the method action created in step 4)
6) Reorder the invokeAction created in step 5), place it below the table's <iterator>
7) Set the @refresh attribute for the table <iterator> and <invokeAction> if you want, for example: "prepareModel"
-Or-
You can implement a custom page lifecycle to achieve the goal.

Problem with select all cells in JTable

Hi guys! I get some problem about selecting all cells in JTable. I tried to used two methods:
1> table.selectAll()2> changeSelection(firstcell, lastcell,false,true)
firstcell:[0,0], lastcell[rowcount-1,colcount-1]
Result: only the first row selected when i use both methods.
Note: i set up the selection model as following:
this.dataSheet.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
                this.dataSheet.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
                this.dataSheet.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
                this.dataSheet.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);Thanks !

What selection properity should be changed in order to enable selectAll() method work properly? Is there Any constraints? Here is the TableModel I am using. And i set up selection mode use the following code:
table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
table.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
table.setColumnSelectionAllowed(true);

Programmatically selecting Item in drop down

I want to Programmatically select an item in a dropdown when the page is loaded. I am using the following code:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{CatByLocTrend.predefinedQueryDropdown}" id="predefinedQueryDropdown"
style="height: 21px; width: 133px; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px" valueChangeListener="#{CatByLocTrend.predefinedQueryDropdown_processValueChange}">
<f:selectItems binding="#{CatByLocTrend.predefinedQueryDropdownSelectItems}"
id="predefinedQueryDropdownSelectItems" value="#{CatByLocTrend.predefinedQueryDropdownDefaultItems}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
I use the following to select the item after the default values have been loaded:
predefinedQueryDropdown.setValue(new Integer(2));
predefinedQueryDropdownSelectItems.setValue("Top3Sales");
Neither of these work. How do I programmatically select the value?

I have this working.
Following is some code snippets:
JSP:
<h:selectOneMenu binding="#{Admin$AdminEscalationList.uiSelOneMnuMgrList}" id="dropdown2"
                            style="left: 443px; top: 349px; position: absolute; width: 186px" value="#{Admin$AdminEscalationList.currMgrSelection}">
                            <f:selectItems id="dropdown2SelectItems" value="#{Admin$AdminEscalationList.escalationContntMgrs}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>Now is the Code behind it:
Java:
    private UISelectOne uiSelOneMnuMgrList = new UISelectOne();
    public UISelectOne getUiSelOneMnuMgrList()
        return(uiSelOneMnuMgrList);
    public void setUiSelOneMnuMgrList(UISelectOne oNewVal)
        uiSelOneMnuMgrList      = oNewVal;
    private int m_nMgrId        = 0;
    public Integer getCurrMgrSelection()
        return(new Integer(m_nMgrId));
    public void setCurrMgrSelection(Integer strMgrSelection)
        try
            m_nMgrId            = strMgrSelection.intValue();
        catch(Exception ex)
// Now is the function that pre-set the selection of the list.
// Call the below function in whereever you want to set the preselection.
uiSelOneMnuMgrList.setValue( getCurrMgrSelection());Of course, I am calling the setCurrMgrSelection() before calling the
uiSelOneMenuMgrList.setValue() function.
Let me know if any of you have any trouble with this.
