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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

Distinguishing user selections from programmatic selections in JList

I have two jlists., and registered a subclass of ListSelectionListener on each list. When the user selects a record in the first list part of of the code I have written sets a selection on the second list which is correct, but then this triggers the listener on the second list to receive an event, and run its listener code which is not what I want.
I want to be able to identify a list selection caused by the user selecting a record in the list rather than the a programmatic selection, so that i can ignore programmatic selections.
Checking event.getSource() is no good as it always just returns the JList itself regardless of whether it has been done programtaically or by a user.
I tried checking list.isFocusOwner() , figuring that only lists that had been user selected would be focus owner. This works for Windows but on MacOS, it doesnt work the frst time you select something from the list after moving from another component (it does work after that).
How do i do this, thanks Paul

an alternative is to set a flag
boolean fromList1Listener = false;//class field scope
list1Listener
fromList1Listener = true;
change list2 selection
fromList1Listener = false;
list2Listener
if(fromList1Listener == false)
normal code goes here

ADF Tree (10.1.3) Programmatically select Tree node

Hi,
i want to pre-select a specific treenode in an af:tree programmatically. I got it nearly working with using a CoreTree-binding in the backing bean using set setFocusRowKey method. After that, the node is selected properly, but when selecting another node in the tree via the UI, the programmatically selected node is not deselected, means in the display is see two selected nodes.
Any ideas ?

Programmatically selecting a Tree node

Hi there,
Given a TreePath object, I need to know how to programmatically select a tree node on a JTree.
Here's the situation:
I have a simple text editor project which has a JTree on its interface representing the local file system. The program has a SaveAs dialog box which also has a duplicate JTree as the one on the main interface (directories only). As the user selects the directory in which they wish to save the open file in the SaveAs dialog box, I need somehow to programmatically cause the JTree on the main interface to correspondingly select the same directory. How is this done?
The whole point of this is so that I can then add a new leaf node to the tree at the specified directory location. I've tried simply setting the jTree1.setSelectionPath(...) method and even tried to call the valueChanged(...) method of the TreeSelectionListener object as you can see from the code snippet below, but none of these approaches have been successful.
Please advise,
Alan
public void createLeafNode()
     jTree1.repaint();
     if(path == null)

Yes, I've tried setSelectionPath(TreePath path) numerous times, but it does nothing to select the node on the tree! You can see from the code I submitted that it is there commented out.
Ordinarily, when you click on a node on the tree it becomes the "active" node, evident because it becomes highlighted. But when I use setSelectionPath(TreePath path) method, giving it the path it needs, the node on the tree doesn't become the "active" node, therefore, not selected! Furthermore and subsequently, the rest of the code in the method createLeafNode() doesn't add a new node to the tree in the location specified by the TreePath object!
If you have used setSelectionPath(TreePath path) before successfully I would be interested in seeing a small sample program demonstrating its use. It would have to prove to me that you can select a node in the tree without physically clicking on any node in the tree with the mouse cursor, and add a new child node to that selected node.
I submit to you a small test program I put together that demonstrates the "typical setup". It requires the user to physically click on a node of the tree, then click on a button that adds a new node in the location of the selected node. If you can alter this program demonstrating that you can add a new node to the tree without my having to click on any node of the tree with my cursor, then I'll assign you the Duke Dollars and be forever humbled by your programming prowess.
Thanks for keeping on top of this thread as I've tried everything I can think of to try and make my program work. If you need to ask any questions please ask away. Perhaps there is something about my program that I've not explained yet that you're not aware of that I should have included. At this point I can't see the forest for the trees.

Programmatically select all items in a list

Hi, I've been looking through the online docs trying to find
a way to programmatically select all items in a list. I have a
checkbox that when checked should select all items in a list. I
found a method to clear all selections but not one to select all.
Did I just miss it? Thanks!

I don't know of any built-in functions to select all list
items, but here is an example function to select all items in a
list:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns="*" layout="absolute">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable] private var people_xml:XML =
<people>
<person>Jen</person>
<person>Brian</person>
<person>Scot</person>
</people>;
private function select_all():void {
var indices:Array = new Array();
for (var i:uint = 0; i<people_xml.children().length();
i++) {
indices.push(i);
peopleList.selectedIndices = indices;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Button x="125" y="10" label="Select All"
click="select_all()"/>
<mx:List x="10" y="10" allowMultipleSelection="true"
dataProvider="{people_xml.person}" id="peopleList"
labelField="person" width="107"></mx:List>
</mx:Application>

Is there any way to programmatically select photos?

I'd like to programmatically select photographs in a catalog based on the contents of a file (containing image names). Is this possible? Thanks!

If your goal is to run a script that when completed leaves your Catalog in grid mode with certain images selected, i.e., highlighted, then I don't believe there is currently a method available with the SDK. I might be wrong so please wait for others to respond as well.
You can of course scan the entire catalog and perform certain actions for images meeting your criteria (containing image names) if that is your ultimate goal. This will entail studying the SDK manual, sample plug-ins, etc. all of which involves learning the lua language to some extent. The SDK has many limitations but I doubt that its functionality is complete at this point so it may be worth your while to start the learning process. I only dabble a bit but find it somewhat fascinating.
Also, you might be able to solicit someone from this forum to write the plug-in for you, for a fee of course. I would suspect a little more information might be necessary.

How do you programmatically select TabBar VC within the MORE section?

Can anyone help me figure out how to programmatically select a view controller that is beyond the main 4 tabs in a TabBarController? Usually you can use:
tabBarController.selectedIndex = NSUInteger;
but once you have more than 5 Tabs, you get the "More" tab as #5 and the others go into their own TableView. If you try to change selectedIndex to any # > 4 you get an NSRange error.
I have tried the following workaround unsuccessfully:
UIViewController *desiredVC = [[tabBarController.viewControllers] objectAtIndex:5];
tabBarController.selectedViewController = desiredVC;
where tabBarController is a UITabBarController;
Still no go. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I came up with this solution:
[self.tabBarController.moreNavigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:NO];
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:4];
[self performSelector:@selector(selectMore:) withObject:newViewController afterDelay:0.1f];
- (void) selectMore:(UIViewController *)controller
[self.tabBarController.moreNavigationController pushViewController:controller animated:NO];
It's does the job, but the "More..." list is shortly displayed before the newViewController is displayed.
Is there another way to handle this problem?

OI programmatic selection

I am displaying a list of sequence files in a List Bar (operator interface). Is there a way to programmatically set the sequence file initially selected with the operator interface starts? Perhaps use a TestStand global I would like to be able to change the initially selected sequence file when the operator interface starts.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ken,
Since I don't know enough about your architecture, I am going to give a couple of different approaches.
First, I'd like to confirm what you're trying to do. You'd like to load a list of sequence files, based off of who is the logged in user, and then automatically have one of them selected, also based off the current user.
There are two ways that I can think of to accomplish this.
You can use the Most Recently Used file (MRU) list. The MRU list is stored in a configuration file for the application manager, and is stored in the user's application data directory. That means that for each Windows user, there could be a different MRU list. What you could do is in the LoginLogout sequence, when a user logs in, automatically populate the MRU list. Then there is a property of the Application Manager in your User Interface (UI) to automatically load the files in the MRU list. I believe that the first file in the MRU list is the one that is selected by default.
One downside to this approach is that if a savy user does a File»Open command, and you are not populating the MRU list every time, it is possible that they could change the files that are listed, or their order.
Another way you could implement this is to use globals (or UI messages) that you set from your LoginLogout sequence. After a user logs in, you store the names (and paths) of sequence files that you want to load into a global (or post them using a UImessage). In your UI, you can then use the Application Manager method OpenSequenceFile() to open a sequence file. The last sequence file that you open in this way will be the one selected in your SequenceFile View Manager, and the one that any entry point buttons you have will act on.
A downside to this method is that it breaks UI/Callback modularity tying your UI to a callback. If you do this, you should be very careful to consider upgrade issues and code maintenance.
If you could provide a bit more information about your UI and LoginLogout architecture and the exact funtionality you are looking to implement, I can try to give you more detailed explanations and ideas.

Programmatically Creation of Property Group

Hello
Can anyone help me to create a property group and then assign properties to it.
It would be better if you can assist me either with the GUI creation or through programme or with both.
Thanks
Raj

Create a New Group
Using groups in the SAP Enterprise Portal is another way to easily manage the content that is rolled out to a user. You can assign multiple roles to a group, and simplify your user management process by assigning a group to a user, instead of assigning multiple roles to a user.
1.     Choose User Administration ¨ Groups ¨ Select New Group button.
2.     Enter values for the following fields.
3.     Choose Save.
3.2.5     Add User to Group
1.     Choose User Administration ¨ Groups.
2.     Select Testers from the Groups menu
3.     Choose the Assign Users button.
4.     Choose the Add Users button.
5.     Enter new
6.     Choose Search.
7.     Check the checkbox next to NewUser.
8.     Choose Select.
9.     Choose Done.
3.2.6     Add Role to Group
1.     Choose User Administration ¨ Roles.
2.     In the Search parameter, enter the role you want to add to the user (i.e., com.mycompany.myrole).
3.     In the Search dropdown. select Roles.
4.     Select the Start button
A list of matching roles will appear in the table below
5.     Select the Edit link corresponding to the role you created
6.     Enter new in the Search parameter
7.     Select Groups in the dropdown menu
8.     Choose Start.
9.     Check the checkbox next to the Group you created
10.     Choose Add and then Save.

Custom property renderer for multiple value selections of property metadata

Hi,
We have created custom predefined metadata properties and fetching data from SAP to display values while uploading a document from KM.Everything is working fine and values are being displayed in a dropdown.
The standard property multi-valued displays values in checkboxex but the requirement is to allow for multiple selections in dropdown using shift ot ctrl key.
We started creating our own property renderer by decompiling classes like allowedvalues_multivalued
but we could not see the property on the upload screen.
Any help is greatly appericiated.
Thanks,
Vasu.

Vasu,
Try changing the property renderer setting in your custom property. There might be one which allows a multiple select box. If not, you can always create your own. The following links are helpful:

Dynamic tree selected node property id issue...

hi -
I'm successfully building a two-tier tree dynamically, but when a node is selected, it isn't consistently giving the correct property id for that node... sometimes it's correct, sometimes it's null, sometimes I have to select the node twice to get a value, or it shows the value from the previous selected node...
I've tried tree1.getSelected() and tree1.getCookieSelectedTreeNode() but it's still the same result... it acts as though the cookie isn't getting updated each time... I've tried it with and without setting 'immediate' with the same result... below is the relevant part of my code... does anyone see why it's not getting the selected property id each time? help and suggestions welcome... Thanks
try {
java.util.List newNodeChildren = newNode.getChildren();
while (srs.next()){
TreeNode newNode2 = new TreeNode();
newNode2.setTarget("_blank");
newNode2.setText(srs.getString( "issue_title"));
newNode2.setId("x" + issue_id);
//Setup action event
Hyperlink nodelink = new Hyperlink();
nodelink.setText(newNode2.getText());
nodelink.setId(newNode2.getId());
Class[] signatures = {ActionEvent.class};
MethodBinding mb1 = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{Page2.treeNodeActionListener}", signatures);
nodelink.setActionListener(mb1);
newNode2.getFacets().put(newNode2.CONTENT_FACET_KEY, nodelink);
newNodeChildren.add(newNode2);

Hi,
1 I dropped Tree component from Palette. I deleted TreeNode1.
<ui:tree binding="#{Navigator.tree1}" expandOnSelect="false" id="tree1" immediate="true" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; position: absolute" text="Sometext"/>
2 In the init() method I called paintTree()
It works fine.
I use action method because I need only the id of selected node but I tested also listener method and it works
Here is my code
public void paintTree(){
ArrayList conturi=new ArrayList();
TreeNode nodN1 = new TreeNode();
TreeNode nodN2 = new TreeNode();
TreeNode nodN3 = new TreeNode();
TreeNode nodN9 = new TreeNode();
String Id;
int lga=0;
int lgc=0;
try {
conturi=getSessionBean1().getSes01FacadeRemoteClient1().getMyEjbMethod();
} catch (Exception ex) {
log(".....", ex);
Iterator iterator=conturi.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
detalii.Conturi cont=(detalii.Conturi)iterator.next();
lgc=cont.getConts().length();
if (lga < lgc) {
if (lgc == 1) {
nodN1=new TreeNode();
Id= "Node_"+cont.getId();
nodN1.setId(Id);
nodN1.setText(cont.getDenumire());
tree1.getChildren().add(nodN1);
if (lgc == 2){
nodN2=new TreeNode();
Id= "Node_"+cont.getId();
nodN2.setId(Id);
nodN2.setText(cont.getConts()+"-"+cont.getDenumire());
nodN2.setStyleClass("leftAligned");
nodN1.getChildren().add(nodN2);
if (lgc == 3){
nodN3=new TreeNode();
Id= "Node_"+cont.getId();
nodN3.setId(Id);
nodN3.setText(cont.getConts());
nodN3.setStyleClass("leftAligned");
FacesContext context=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
MethodBinding mb1 = context.getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{Navigator.treeNode_action}", null);
nodN3.setAction(mb1);
nodN2.getChildren().add(nodN3);
} //end-if
} //end while
public String treeNode_action() {

String id =clientId.substring(clientId.lastIndexOf("_")+1);
getSessionBean1().setContId(id);
