Read only checkboxes in tables still seem to be clickable.

I know there is also "disabled" for check boxes, but then the thing is
hardly readable. Is there any way to make it readable, but not
clickable?
Or should I switch to 'Y' and 'N'?

Hi Thomas,
We thank you for your valuable observations and feedback. A bug has been filed for the problem on your behalf.
Thanks and Cheers

Enter event not triggering for read-only checkbox

I have some objects in a form that get "locked" when the user signs the form. I'm not using the digital signatures. Instead, when the user types their name into the signature text field, a script runs on the change event that makes all of the fields in the form read only. It also unlocks the fields if the signature is deleted.
I was worried that we would get a lot of phone calls with users that didn't understand that the form had locked ("Why doesn't this form work?!"), so I added some code to the enter event for all of the fields that would pop up a messagebox to explain to people trying to edit a signed form that the form was locked and that they would need to delete the signature to edit the form.
This plan works perfect for my text fields and decimal fields. It does NOT work at all for my checkboxes. For some reason, the enter event is never triggered for read-only checkboxes. I don't see any other events that would obviously work for me though. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thanks, those are reasonable suggestions.
In the first suggestion, I'm unclear about one aspect of how I would accomplish this. I assume I would allow people to modify fields in the form, but that when they did, a msgbox would pop up that would inform them that, if they continued with this modification to a signed form, the signature would be removed. I'm all good to that point. But if they answered that they do not want to continue modifying that field and removing the signature, how can I code it to set the value back to what it was before the change? Is there some method that will give me access to the value of the field BEFORE the attempted modification? I went looking for something like $.previousvalue, but found nothing.
I'd suggest that I could use a two-stage solution, in which I store the previous value on the enter event, and save it just in case they do not want to change the field when prompted by the msgbox, but since the enter event does not exist for checkboxes (my original problem), that seems like it won't work.
As far as radio button suggestion, I like radio buttons very much except for one fatal flaw: they aren't (as far as I can tell) clearable. That is a shame. Clearly some people (like me) want both exclusivity AND clearability. And we'd like the controls to have an enter event. But I know I'm demanding Anyway, as it is, I just end up having to use checkboxes and create a boatload of silly code to make them exclusive.

Did you try by enabling the Expert Mode?

Read Only and HTML Table Cell Attributes

Hi Guys,
I believe i have come accross a bug - i'm been working on a form that can be filled out and printed - when going into print for sake of the output looking nice i set the form element to read-only.
As soon as an element such as a drop down box, text feild, text area, etc which display as "[selected value]" in plain text in read only mode, are changed to the read only mode apex seem to ignore the html table cell attributes.
For example i have a id number in the top left and then a version number in the top right. Both use a text feild; the top left uses 'width="100%"' for it's HTML Table Cell Attribute to push the right cell to the right. and the right cell has 'align="right"'. Now this works fine when read only is off... but as soon as read only is on, both the width and the alignment are totally ignored, and i can't find any sign of them in the code.
Because this is for printing; using the "disable" on the form element instead of "read only" function, isn't appropriate as disabled will make the elements faded and hard to read when printed, and keeping the elements as is will allow the user to edit information on the print screen - which is not appropriate.
Is this a bug? Will it be fixed soon? Is there any work around?
Cheers,
Alex

Use the "Read Only Element Table Cell(s) Attributes" in the Read Only region of the Item edit form.

How to Mark Read Only Checkboxes based on RadioButton Selections

I've spent the past hour looking through old discussions and can't find anything about this, so maybe it will help some others in the future as well.
I'm building a Dynamic PDF for people at work to use for troubleshooting. It basically follows the same logic as the flowcharts I've already made, but by asking questions and telling the technicians what to do based on their answers. At the top I have checkboxes that are kind of "top level questions" that I want to be read only and I want them to check off automatically as they make their way through the radio buttons.
My end goal is to incorporate this PDF into our ticketing system and the checkboxes at the top level will show the troubleshooting that has already been completed without the technician having to read through the entire PDF to find out what to do next. If we have to send a technician to the site to repair anything it will also act as an escalation report, so he knows where we were able to get without him being on site.
I was thinking this might work, but apparently I don't understand the coding as well as I thought I did. Hopefully I'm close lol.
if (TestRadio.rawValue==1){
Subform1.Check1.rawValue=1;
else{
Subform1.Check1.rawValue=0;
Any help is greatly appreciated. If anyone has a PDF with an example of this working I'd love to see it. Thanks a lot.
Mike

Actually, I just figured it out. I was missing " " around the values. Maybe this will still help someone else, so I'll leave it up. Thanks all!
if (TestRadio.rawValue==1){
Subform1.Check1.rawValue="1";
else{
Subform1.Check1.rawValue="0";

Display read only field in table / form from another vo

i came across couple of scenarios where i had to bring a field in a table / from from other vo than on which most fields in table / form were based. in all cases i had to display the field from another vo as read only and there was only one record in other vo which was related to previous vo in table / form. for this i created a view accessor and created a soc with model driven lov. the problem with this is that first element alwasy shows blank in soc. how can i display the filled soc with first element populated and read only in this scenario. i tried alternatively with groovy expressions but other people in team said it is not good practice to use groovy expressions to fill fields in one VO from other VO. how can i acheive this requirement with soc component / lov / view accessors. is there any other alternative as well. jdev 11 1 1 5

1) in the attribute of the VO select the 'List of values' node and edit the list attribute you see there; in the dialog select the UI Hints tad and make sure the checkmark for the 'Include "no Selection Item' is off.
2) you can base a VO on to EO which are then joined via one or more attributes (association)

View object is read-only on Static Table

Greetings,
i have create a static af:table in JDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0 JSF,
with 3 temporally columns, so i can create rows and select data. When im done create as many rows and choose data from all 3
select one choice columns, to save on entirely different table using methodAction.
I make all 3 columns Always Updatable, but when im going to create a row, it throws me the read-only table error.
Keep in mind this temporally static table have no primary key.
What should i do to bypass this error?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Table became read-only

I have an Access interface to an Oracle 10g database so that our analyst can enter data in from spreadsheets. Recently, one of the tables that she's working with became read-only when she deleted the existing table in Access, and re-imported it from Oracle. She's done the same to other tables, and is still able to write to them. I went in and checked her rights in the OEM, and she has the same rights across all objects. I'm trying to log in under her userid in SQL*Plus, but when I try querying from any of the user tables that she uses, its telling me that the tables/views don't exist. But if I select table_name from all_tables, it does show the system tables and other tables as well - just none of the user tables. Is there anything else I can try to figure out what's going on here?

Access will only allow read-only on Oracle tables unless the primary key is identified in Access. 'Edit' the table and identify the primary key.

Fat32 Shared from Mac - Folders Always Read Only?

I have a Mac Book Pro running 10.5.8 with a FAT32 Bootcamp Partition. I set up Windows Sharing so a computer running WIndows Vista can share this FAT32 volume on my Mac. The basic networking works fine, and I can open, edit and save C files in the Microsoft Visual C++ environment I'm using.
But, the compiler attempts to create temporary files during compilation and this fails. It complains that the folder is write protected. This is substantiated by the fact that when I show the folder properties for the folder in question, it shows "Read Only" in the "Attributes" section.
Thing is, using Notepad, I can create a new file and save it on these "read-only" folders without any errors.
So I'm mystified. Any thoughts on why the compiler wouldn't be able to create the temporary files?
Looking forward to a solution,
Mark

I am posting back here because I discovered the cause of the second problem mentioned in the above post. IE: the problem of misbehaving folders in windows.
First, some background. The folder structure is rather large and complex, so I created it using applescript and a text file with outline levels. Unfortunately, some of the outline titles (which became folder titles) ended in a space.
Apparently windows does not like folders (files too?) to end with a space. While this never affected my Mac, when I transfered the data and structure to the PC it went haywire. I did notice that the duplicate folders were not identical as I first thought, but rather were generated without the trailing space(s). Now it is just a matter of removing all the trailing spaces and it appears that windows can handle the folders.
However, every folder I put on the PC still says it is read only and I can't seem to change that. Any help?

Folders become read/only when transfered to windows

I find that when I transfer a folder from my Mac to a PC windows reports the folder (and contents) as read only. Ownership is transferable, but try as I might, I cannot change the status to be not read only on windows. However, I can read, write, and modify the folders and files most of the time.
Recently, I transfered a very large folder hierarchy from my Mac to a PC and ran into an additional problem. When I add or modify any document in the hierarchy, the containing folder is duplicated by windows in the same location with the same name but empty of contents. Of course this causes a world of trouble, since there are now two identically named folders in the same location (one of which is empty).
How can this happen and where can I get information on how to prevent it? BTW, I am a Mac user by nature and only use the PC when I have to, that is why I try to find answers here!
Thanks in advance for any help.

Read only problem on forms

I'm having a problem when I set fields to read only in ApEx. The situation is there are several surveys to have user's fill out and they don't need to answer every question, and once the surveys are submitted, they are no longer able to be modified. I had no problems setting the fields to read only in that case, but the problem I'm encountering is that any question that had a null value left in it instead of being answered, the field is displaying as: []. I'd like to be able to change that so that it reads as not answered or something to make it more readable.
Is there a way to use a case when expression to clear this up? Thank you.

Thanks for the quick response.
I tried giving a case when using the null on one of the questions then set the form into Read Only mode, and it still displayed as []. I forgot to mention this part last time, and I'm sorry about that, but these items are Select Lists with a NUMBER column in the database, so I can't actually store words in the table for the null vales.

Granting Read Only Access to user in another schema

Oracle Database 10g
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3
We are requested by a developer to grant his account read only access to TABLES, VIEWS, INDEXES, SEQUENCES, FUNCTIONS, PROCEDURES, PACKAGES, TRIGGERS, JOBS of another schema.
I know granting read only access to Tables and Views. But is it possible to grant READ ONLY access to other mentioned objects ? How to do it ?
And some views are in INVALID status.
I tried to compile them using alter view owner.viewname compile;
But got this ---- Warning: View altered with compilation errors.
Those views are still in INVALID status. And then I tried to use utlrp.sql . Same result.
Then I used the following
SELECT TEXT FROM DBA_VIEWS WHERE VIEW_NAME='view-name';
select REFERENCED_NAME,REFERENCED_TYPE from dba_dependencies where name='view-name';
It turns out some reference types are non existent.
Does that mean DBAs cannot do anything about this ?

TABLES -> YES grant SELECT
VIEWS -> YES grant SELECT
SEQUENCE -> YES grant SELECT
INDEXES -> There is no read access for indexes...indexes are put on tables and a user who has read access on tables can read the index as well.
FUNCTIONS / PROCEDURES / PACKAGES -> I am not sure what you mean by read access on procedures, functions and packages. You may grant EXECUTE privilege on these.
TRIGGERS -> there is no read access on triggers required. They are implemented on tables for a DML event. If the user has DML access he has the execute access on the trigger as well.
JOBS -> I am not sure what to read from Jobs.
And some views are in INVALID status.
I tried to compile them using alter view owner.viewname compile;
But got this ---- Warning: View altered with compilation errors.

select REFERENCED_NAME,REFERENCED_TYPE from dba_dependencies where name='view-name';

Does that mean DBAs cannot do anything about this ?There are compilation errors in the Views. e.g. the view may be referring to a table which doesn't exist etc.
Unless you fix the error in the view you can't compile it and male it valid. Fix the view errors. If objects are non existing create them or refer to view to some where else.
If the nonexistent objects were mistakenly dropped, or the data file which contained those objects was dropped, no matter what was the reason for that object to be gone a DBA can bring it back if he is a well prepared DBA and has setup his database for such kind of disasters.
Now tell us why those objects are non-existent ? were they meant to be gone ? or they were dropped mistakenly?
Now here are my guesses:
If they were meant to be gone then probably the views definitions need to be adjusted not to refer them anymore.
If they were mistakenly dropped then:
Do you have them in recyclebin? (only tables) if YES just FLASHBACK TABLE <<tablename>> AS BEFORE DROP.
Is your database has Flashback database ON? if YES FLASHBACK DATABASE until 'time/scn just before the object was dropped'
Do you have backups and your database is running in ARCHIVE LOG mode? if YES perform an incomplete recovery using RMAN.

Strange Issue: Hyperion Planning forms becomes read-only and data is wiped out: 11.1.2.2

Hi,
Let me start by saying that I am not new to Hyperion Planning. We are experience a weird issue in our System Test. We notice that some (NOT ALL) of our webforms turn into readonly webforms; all the cells on the form at greyed out. This is inspite of the fact that the read-only checkbox is unchecked on the form as well as security is fine on all dimensions ; basically all the cells on the form are valid combinations.
Still the form become readonly and all the data in that form is wiped-out. this happened only for two web forms so far. We are running bunch of calcs(none of the calcs have cleardata command). we are not sure why is this happening. this might be some bug in the product... not sure. has anyone seen this behaviour before ?
please let me know.

Please Ignore this question. This happened because someone in my team had added an member below a level 0 entity.

All Lumia 928 folders are 'read-only'

So all of a sudden, all the folders on my Lumia 928 are marked as read-only regardless of the PC it is plugged into, and I can no longer drag and drop files between the phone and PC because of it - it tells me I don't have permission or something like that. Not only that, the read-only checkbox is greyed out as you can see in the attachment, so I can't uncheck it to fix the problem. No dedicated software (Zune, Windows Phone Software) works either, and I have exhausted all possibilitiues I can think of.
It's clearly something with the phone since it happens on all PCs, and I suspect a setting, but I can't figure out which. If anyone has any thoughts, I'd welcome them.

Did you try after rebooting the Phone ? Its all 'Read-only' with my Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 1020 too but Drag-Drop or Copy-Paste is possible ...

Editable AdvancedDataGrid / Read-only SummaryRow

tl;dr - How do I have read-only SummaryFields for an editable column in the AdvancedDataGrid?
I have an AdvancedDataGrid based on flat data in a GroupingCollection that groups on one field (named "day"). There are 2 known read-only columns, and N additional columns (N is equal for all rows in the grid). My goal is to have the N additional columns editable (numeric) with a read-only SummaryRow at the group level for those columns.
I can display everything properly, but I cannot figure out how to make the SummaryRow read-only.
AdvancedDataGrid and AdvancedDataGridColumn seems to the be only classes that allow you to toggle an "editable" flag.
When I use an AdvancedDataGridRendererProvider, my custom Label-based renderer is called, but I do not know which column it is being called for, so even though I have access to the child data, I do not know which fields in the children to summarize and display in the text field of the label.
Data is in an ArrayCollection where each item (row) has the following format:
     "day": 1,
     "hour": "Shift 1",
     "Skill0": 4,
     "Skill1": 8,
     "Skill2": 15,
     "Skill3": 16,
     "Skill4": 23,
     "Skill5": 42
where "day" is the column the grouping occurs on, "day" and "hour" are displayed as read-only fixed columns, and the "SkillN" fields are displayed as editable columns.
I hope I am missing some simple bit of information here. I have spent many hours on this!
Am I approaching the solution wrong? Hints and advice are appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt

Thank you so much, Sameer. Unfortunately, I have not been able to get this working. I am using SDK 3.5 in Flex Builder 3.
