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 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

Well think of it I believe the scenario is too bird viewed hence the solution can't be exact.
But thinking of a possible solution every time a child operation fails have a catch block where you you go back to system if the parent needs to be deleted if yes, call Delete Method on the parent.
Note: Make sure that the decision on whether or not the parent record needs to be deleted will depends on the question "Does Parent Record already has several other children associated to it or not"
Hope this clarifies.

ORA-06502 on "Help Text" region when changing pages on a tabular form

Hello everybody,
We are developing an application on Apex 4.1.0.00.32. This application have some pages with tabular forms and these pages uses a page zero as template. In this page zero, we have added two sidebar regions: a list region to navigate on the application and a help text to describe how to use our application.
The problem occurs when the tabular split the records into pages (since it has more records that it can show on a single page). When the user clicks to change to another page, Apex raises an ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error as described below:
Erro ao renderizar a região "Ajuda". ORA-06502: PL/SQL: erro: erro de conversão de caractere em número numérico ou de valor

Obs: Our database is in Brazilian Portuguese, so I guess it will be hard for some people to understand the first two lines! :)
We have tried to change the pagination style of the tabular form and change the region model of the help text but the problem still happens.
Does anyone an ideia about what this may be?
Thanks in advance!

Processing mutliple records on multiple pages in a tabular form

I'm a newbie to Apex (4.0). I have a tabular form displaying 500 rows records in multiple pages. The row selector is selected by defaulted ie. all rows have been checked. Upon unselecting items in multiple page, the Multi Row Delete (Post Processing Request) only deletes the records selected on the page. It seems like the ROW SELECTOR does not keep track of the checkboxes on other pages. Any thoughts on how to solve this would be helpful.
Thank you.
Ed.

Sybrand,
Thanks for the response. So in that case, how would I approach the following requirement:
Tabular form that displays 500 records each in multiple pages. The Row Selector column is selected by default. The user will uncheck certain rows in certain pages. I would like to perform a Multi Row Delete for alll the records that were selected.
Thanks,
Ed.

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.

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

Form personalization for a read only responsibility for a custom form

Hi,
I have a read only responsibility. My requirement is to make a custom form updatable through this responsibility but wth a condition that only the specific custom form should be updatable and rest all other form accessed through read only responsibility be read only. How can i achieve this using form personalization?
Pls give me detailed steps if possible.
Thanks

I tried override Query Only values through Forms Personalization but it did not work for me. With a bit of determination I might have been able to work around it but no luck on that front.
You can do it this way, although it's a bit cumbersome:
1. Clone every function and menu in the Responsibility
2. In all but your custom function set the Function parameter QUERY_ONLY=YES

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 :

Oracle WCI - How to make Contact page in a tabular form in WCI

Hii All,
Im using Oracle WebCenter Interaction . As you all know that in websites we have a section called Contact-Us under whcih we can provide few contact details. Im using a portal which has been made by using WCI so i just wanted to make a table in a page which can show the contact details. My portal has a page which already has those contact but it is not properly alligned so i just wanted to make it in the form of table.One cantact on one row like that. Please give me any suggestion to make it.

Well i give u item level to apply it in the whole record including...
emp , ename & sal
any way to do it block level u can use Current Record Attribute Property block level but if u programatically do it as mentioned u can have a lock on something resemble to ur case pls have a look at Craig's Oracle Stuff How to Select Multiple Records in a block using Record Groups just to exclude the idea u want to develop.
Hope this helps...

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.

Help needed in row selection in Tabular form across pages

Hi,
I have a tabular form report similar to http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:95. I want to select some rows from first page and then use the pagination to get to the next page, select some more rows and hit the submit button for processing. The rows selected in the last page alone are picked up for processing, and the ones selected in the earlier pages are lost. I see the same behaviour in Denes' example as well. I picked a row in the first page and a row in the next page, and then click "Pick Records", i see only the record i picked on the second page.
I did play around with "partial page refresh" setting for the tabular form region, but that does not help.
Is there a way to select across pages in a tabular form?
thanks,
Rams
Edited by: rams1234 on Jan 22, 2009 10:19 AM

Okay. I could make this work, but this seems to be a roundabout way for me. In my case I dont have any database related query to get the values, hence the Application level process may not be needed.
When I select the checkbox, i get the value. I am hoping that I should be able to send the value to a javascript function and update the filed value in the function itself. Please see the function below..
function setFileID(pThis) {
var chkvals=pThis.value;
var fldValue = new $x('f_FILELIST').value ;
if (fldValue != 0)
{ $x('f_FILELIST').value= fldValue+'-'+chkvals;}
else
{ $x('f_FILELIST').value = chkvals ;}
This function works fine in making up the list. The issue is, when an already selected row is unselected, the value of the checkbox gets added one more time :) If I detect the checkbox status and subtract the corresponding value, this will be perfect..
Thanks for the link anyway. I am marking this question answered.
regards,
Rams.

Two Manual Tabular forms in a same page

Since i have to create two tabular forms in a same page, i created tabular forms manually.
Both the forms are working fine if the columns are not defined as conditional display.
Based on item value set by user, few fields should be either displayed as text field (editable) or read only (display).
I created two columns for a same field one as editable another one as non editable.
Based on item value any one of the column will be displayed.
Since the manual tabular form update process is using 'apex_application.g_f02', if any one of the column is not visible,
multiple row update is failing.
can any one please help me or suggest me to solve this.
Edited by: Ravi on Apr 19, 2012 9:02 AM

I'm guessing you have a page item that is used to control display of the columns as display only or editable.
If that's true and the page item tells you to display the editable column, then you end up with say a g_f02 and a g_fo3, where you otherwise might only have a g_fo2.
Use the value of the page item in your update process to control which tabular form element to use.
