Read only page level attribute

Are there any plans to add a 'Read only' conditional attribute at the page level. It would save a lot of time if a page level read only attribute was available which was overrriden at the item level.
The page level attribute would allow a page with lots of items to be rendered read only at the click of one option rather than having to go through each item on the page. (It would also be nice to be able to programatically set this via a function call)

i know you can do this at the item level. Lets say you have 50 items on a page and you want to set the same condition for making each item read only. It would be a little tedious to have to go into each item to do this. Whereas a page level attribute would cascade down, being overrriden by the item level setting if a few of the items had different conditions or were not to be made read only.
just think it would be a nice to have feature

Read Only page/region attribute - Tabular form

APEX 4.2.1/Oracle 11.1
The new readonly attribute at the page and region level works very nicely to make a page readonly without having to set the readonly condition individually on each page item. Great job.
But I noticed that tabular form inputs don't honor this setting. Is there a easy way to make a tabular form readonly as well i.e. make it look like a classic report instead of showing input (even disabled) fields?
I guess we can clone the region as a classic report region and conditionally show one or the other but that's not ideal from a maintenance perspective.
Thanks

Marc - Thanks for logging the enhancement request. Couple of observations
1. The Copy Region wizard allows us to copy a tabular form region (along with its associated processes and buttons) but running the page raises errors since APEX only allows one tabular form per page. Perhaps the Copy Region wizard should check for this
2. Most tabular form regions are customized after the wizard creates them. Column headings are changed, display types, number/date formats, column links, etc. Re-doing all this to create a copy of the tabular form region as a classic report region is a bit of a chore. Maybe you can think of a easier way to do this in 5.0. Really all that needs to happen is change the Display As for all the tabular form INPUT fields to Display as Text and preserve all other customizations.
Thanks

Read Only Element Table Attributes not working since we migrate 3.0.1

Dear all,
I have a page to dispaly the content of a journalling table and highlight the changes in red.
To do it, the guy before me use the read only.
In the read only condition type he put pl/sql expression.
the expression is :P120_OLD_DEADLINE_DT NOT LIKE :P120_NEW_DEADLINE_DT
And in Read Only Element Table Cell(s) Attributes the code is bgcolor="#FF0000"
In 2.2 the background was red and in now the the background doesn't work.
Do you have an idea why in 3.0.1 it doesn't work.
Thanks
Eric

Scott,
The background works only with the read only condition always.
In my new item the select is select 10 from dual.
In the read only condition I select Value of item in expression 1 is not null.
I put in expression 1 the name of my item :p997_test.
The read only doesn't work.
In your test, did you select the condition always or you chose something else ?
Thanks
Eric

Read Only page

Hi,
Is there a way to make all the fields in a page read only - say based on a variable input from a task flow? I don't want to check for this variable in all the fields. Is there a way to achieve at top level?
I am using Jdev 12.1.2
Thanks
Uma

You could probably try to write a recursive function which sets the readonly property programmatically and call that from wherever you want.
I have not tried, but you could probably try it. Sample code :
    private void setInputItemsReadOnly(AdfFacesContext adfFacesContext,
                                     UIComponent component){
       List<UIComponent> items = component.getChildren();
       for ( UIComponent item : items ) {
           setInputItemsReadOnly(adfFacesContext,item);
           if ( item instanceof RichInputText ) {
               RichInputText input = (RichInputText)item;
               if ( !input.isDisabled() ) {
                   input.setReadOnly(true) ;
                   adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(input);
           } else if ( item instanceof RichInputDate ) {
               RichInputDate input = (RichInputDate)item;
               if ( !input.isDisabled() ) {
                   input.setReadOnly(true) ;
                   adfFacesContext.addPartialTarget(input);
Not tested.
Created the above code by copying the resetValueInputItems() method from the below link :

Creating a read only page

Say I have a page with 80 items on it. Is there any way to make the page/regions read-only instead of doing it by individual items. I've search the forum and it looks like it is by item only. Has anyone come up with a workaround or now of a solution that they are willing to share.
I'm using version 2.0.0.00.49 with IE 6.0
Thanks,
Derek

Derek - Check out this wizard: Create Page > Form > Summary Page. It isn't exactly what you asked for but you might be able to use it.

How do I turn off the Read Only Folder attribute

I have created a new drive for a Windows Server 2012 and have tried formatting it with various ways. Each time I format the drive, when I create a folder, the read only attribute is set and I can't turn it off. I have looked at other forums for
similar issues and all suggest using the attrib function. This appears to work, but when I refresh the folder, the read only is back on.
Even after assigning permissions, I can create files in the folders, but I cannot modify them in MS Office or any other application. Any ideas on how to resolve this. It appears to be alot of recurring posts for the same issue with no results.

Hi,
Windows Explorer does not allow you to view or change the Read-only or System attributes of folders. When a folder has the Read-Only attribute set it causes Explorer to request the Desktop.ini of that folder to see if any special folder settings need
to be set.
You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

You mentioned that you cannot modify the file created in the folders. Can you modify a txt file? Please check if you have modify permissions on that files.

Unlock a FM file that does not have the Read-only attribute?

I have FrameMaker 8.0p277. I was trying to import formats from a file on my network. Everything froze. I had to reboot. When I reopened my FM book file and the individual chapter files, I got the lock message that prompted me to reset the lock and open each file. I did that--opened each file and reset the lock in each file. However, when I go to update my files, I get a message that one of my files is read-only. The attribute settings does not say this. I also can't even click in this file any more. I tried removing it from my book file and adding it back in. But that didn't change anything. Is there a way to get this file unlocked again?

This happened to us once.
Be sure you are pressing the keys sequentially, except for F, that is:
Esc
Shift+F
l
c
Except for Shift+F, do not press all the keys at the same time.

My Drive D: is locked into an attribute of Read-Only

Hello,
For some reason, as of recent, my Drive D: has become a Read-Only drive. I have only one physical drive so this is an extension as originally purchased in my 1.5 yr. old ASUS notebook, then running WIN8. I had upgraded to WIN8.1 and then about several months
ago, again upgraded to WIN8.1 PRO to allow the encryption of this machine for required work purposes. I installed Bitlocker as required. Although Bitlocker was apparently successful, it did not fully encrypt the machine. After a call to ASUS, I find this machine
is one of those that the manufacture just felt not to include that capability! So currently none of the drives are checked to include encryption and had been working fine until about a week ago when I tried to move some files to Drive D:.
I have done the following:
1. Ran CHKDSK, no problems
2. Ran DISKPART with the Attrib commands which were successful to remove read only, but in realty didn't change the condition.
3. Verified ALL permission on this drive were provided even in the Advanced option, no issues.
4. Ran professional Drive Management software which was unable to modify the drive due to the read-only status.
I was unsuccessful to find any tool or process in which to check the overall status of Bitlocker or to completely remove it. I have no need for it since it can't perform, and therefore continues to be my personal machine. I mention Bitlocker in case this has
a bearing. This has been working and performing well since that time until last week.

Hi,
Please try the following method to modify the D drive read only flag for test.
1. Run DiskPart
2. List and select the disk(LIST DISK followed by SELECT DISK <disk #>)
3. If the disk is offline, bring it online by running ONLINE DISK
4. View the attributes by running DETAIL DISK
The command DETAIL DISK may give an output similar to the following
DISKPART> detail disk
<SAN Device>
Disk ID: ########
Type : <type>
Bus : #
Target : #
LUN ID : #
Read-only : Yes
Boot Disk : No
Pagefile Disk : No
Hibernation File Disk : No
Crashdump Disk : No
5. To clear the read only flag, run ATTRIBUTE DISK CLEAR READONLY
6. Exit DiskPart
You should now be able to write to the disk.

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?

Rows or columns to be read only

Hi,
I need to set Cells or Rows to Read Only If some attribute doesnt contain any value.
First i have to search for records basd on some condition and display it in the table. And the records will be read only if certain attribute/field of the record is NULL.
Regards,
Sonika

Hi Sonika,
for tables the individual cell editors used within the column have properties that can be mapped to the context for things like read only and visibility.
So you can turn the Cell on and off programmatically by changing the context.
Access to column and cell variants is also possible via the so called MODEL on the ALV
component. Check some the of the standard demos beginning SALV* for ALV examples.

CFLock, Read-Only Issues

I am trying to make edits to a previously read-only page. I
have added some queries and when I run the page, the queries are
not run. I have put the queries in a try/catch block and again, not
run. I have even put in random test (i.e. 'asdfasdf') hoping to see
it when I run the page; nothing. Maybe the page is cached or
something? I restarted CF services, but that still didn't help.
It's CF4.5, so maybe there are page caching issues?
Sorry for all the code, but the things I added are the
'asdfasdfasdf' after the InsertConsultant query, and I also added
the get_event_type query and catch try block. Thanks for any
help!

are there still people using cf4.5? man give me some poison
now please! I think cf5 should be banned and if you are still using
4.5 then you probably live in Darfur or something and I would
recommend php as it is free and facebook uses it so it must be
alright!! (hint hint adobe sort it out and make it free you are
leaving us developers out to dry here!!)

Tabular Form Read Only Date Picker

Hello,
I have two or three Items with date pickers and do not want to implement
this code because it will be too many buttons on my form. I need to clear one item
at a time when the datepicker is readonly but, in a tabular form.
function f_clear_items()
    {$x('P1_ITEMA').value = ''};
    {$x('P1_ITEMB').value = ''};
    }Then once I create a url button and pass this function I can clear the datepicker's. But, I
was wondering is there a cleaner way to this.
I have other items on the page that are named the same but, in different tables. I only want
to clear each date picker item at a time. This code works fine for a regular form.
-Element Post Element Text for the Item to Clear
a href="javascript:setValue('P1_ITEMA','');">Clear Date</aThere is a thread named 'How to clear a read only page Item...?' that states how this code works but, does not
work for a tabular form in a Master Detail page. There is a link on side the Date Picker to clear item specified but, in a tabular form Item, there is no Element tab, any ideas on how to clear a readonly date picker item using a tabular form
and not using a button for each item, thanks in advance. I am using Application Express 3.2.0.00.27.

Dan,
I totally understand your point of view. So, this tabular form aspect was not tested once the Clear Date link was discovered to clear a Read Only date field. Yes, using a button to clear a date is great but, I do not want to clear every date or specified item with the click of one button for this application. It is very useful but, not for my needs at the moment.
Basically, if a date is selected and it needs to be cleared out you can just delete the value. But, if the date is readonly you can not clear/delete the date value unless you have the Clearing functionality for a particular item using the datepicker. It may not be worth the trouble Dan like you state by adding this extra code to the calender. If an invalid date is entered an error will appear anyway.
Thanks alot Dan for expanding my mind and showing me some JQuery and providing me with this link to do some further research if needed, thanks again.

Set Cell or Row to read only if certain condition is met

Greetings,
As the subject suggest, I need to set Cells or Rows to Read Only or "Gray out" If Certain attribute doesnt contain any value.
The requirement is to search for records of certain range and display it in the table. And the records will not be editable (read only) if certain attribute/field of the record is NULL. In another words that particular row will be gray-ed out.
Right now I am able to extract out the range of records out and display it in the table but I am not able to set the display of the records/ rows to read only. Do note only certain row needs to be set to row only depending on a particular attribute.
I was to code these in WDDOMODIFYVIEW()... anyone have any solution to this? Points will be given of course. ")

Please dont use the DOMODIFY method for such changes.
The Properties mapped to the context are designed for exactly this purpose.
Your context node should be extended with another attribute. Eg attr_y_Read_only.
The read_only or enabled attribute of field y would then be mapped to this attribute.
Depending on cell editor type it may be called enabled or read only.
You then set this new attribute to true or false appropriately for each element in the node.
This new attribute, although inside the node, need not be displayed as part of the table.
It is there to help control fields in the each element.
Regards
Phil.

Word 2010 Files Open as Read Only

Greetings !
I have an end user who has a somewhat enigmatic and oh so mysterious issue concerning various and random Word files stored on one of our file servers.
Let's say she opens 10 different Word files. Of those 10, 2 or 3 may open as READ ONLY when that attribute is clearly not set on any of them! Permissions look OK. The files are not in use.
This occurs on a Windows 7 client pulling files from a 2012 file server.
I dunno on this one. Suggestions?
