Required Field - Color Change

Hello every one,
We have a requirement, Field A, Field D
We are on 11.5.10 Forms 6i
Field A - LOV - (XX,YY)
Field B - Text Item
In Field A if the user Picks YY - Field D has to become a required (which I am able to achieve) as follows
IF :BLOCK.FIELD ='YY'
THEN
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY('BLOCK.FIELD',
     v_current_record,
     REQUIRED,
     PROPERTY_TRUE);
END IF;
But the required field is not changing the color to required field color. Can someone tell me how to achieve this?
Thanks

As you are working with the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) there are exact guidelines for developing custom form. If you develop your forms to conform to Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products and Oracle Applications Developer's Guide you should not have to manually change the color as the EBS Framework will handle all of this for you. These documents can be found in the Applications Documentation site. Following Oracle's Guidelines are required if you ever need to contact Oracle Support for assistance with a Custom form. If your Custom form does not conform to their guidelines - support will not help you.
Also, you might want to post any EBS related Forms questions in the General EBS Discussion Forum.
Hope this helps,

Acrobat 8, "Highlight Fields" color change

Hi, I'm trying to help a friend trace a random change in the color of form fields when you select highlight fields. Previously it was the same as mine, a light, opaque blue. Now it's changed to a dark gray making text hard to read. The only thing I can guess caused this was an automatic update to Vista. Before the update it was blue, after the reboot the fields are gray. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there a fix? I've searched every menu and can't find even an option to change the color. Is there an option in Vista to change the form field colors? Or is this a glitch caused by the update that requires a repair install?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
sasha

? related to the highlighted fields'. When you open a pdf, in the
upper right corner there is a box to check, if you want the fields
to be filled in, highlighted.
Is there a way in the properties to set a default for the page, when
the pdf is opened, that this 'highlight fields' box is always checked.
My user doesn't want to have to check this 'box' each time entering the pdf upon opening.
Thanks for any guidance Lfiacco

Cheange required field color

I have acro form created by Adobe 9 pro with required text field in it. The default border color for required field is red. How can I change it ?

Zahari,
This has nothing to do with Color Management. Color management is the critical and intricate process of getting colors to match between original, monitor, and printout.
Please post in the appropriate forum for the application you are using, presumably
Acrobat.
Adobe is the name of the company that makes a huge variety of applications. It is not the name of a program.

How to switch off the Yellow "Required Field" color in 9i?

I'd like to know how we can switch off the yellow background that appears on Required Fields (but still leave the required fields as required).
We are migrating our Forms 3.0 application to 9i and have not set the Required attribute for all our fields (some are auto-populating, some are just not set correctly) so some forms look strange with some mandatory fields yellow and some not. We have over 550 Forms and are at release one of our migration so we'd rather not worry about setting fields correctly this for this phase.
Cheers,
Tim.

found the answer:
in $oracle_home/forms90/java/oracle/forms/registry/registry.dat set:
app.ui.requiredFieldVA=false
you can also set the color:
app.ui.requiredFieldVABGColor=255,0,0

Enter event field color change issue

I'm trying to make a script that will change the color of a field's content area when the user enters it (either through clicking or tabbing to the field). It seems simple enough to do, but I haven't been able to get it working.
I downloaded the sample .pdf file that describes how to do this at: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/livecycle/designer/pdfs/FieldFillColor.pdf
Push the button, the colors change. Seems to work fine, right? Except for the horrible, horrible period in the color definition, of course. Publishing a 2 line script with a bug as an EXAMPLE? For shame.
But, when you move the code to the Enter event, the caption changes color, but the content area does not... until you LEAVE the text box, at which point it DOES change color. This doesn't make any sense to me. Is there something undocumented going on here that I don't know about, or is this just another bug?

This won't speed it up, but I suggest making your code a lot cleaner by making use of this class (I haven't tested it):
public class ColorRange {
   private Color min, max;
   public ColorRange(Color min, Color max) {
      this.min = min; this.max = max;
   public boolean contains(Color c) {
      return c.getGreen() >= min.getGreen() && c.getGreen() <= max.getGreen() &&
         c.getRed() >= min.getRed() && c.getRed() <= max.getRed() &&
         c.getBlue() >= min.getBlue() && c.getBlue() <= max.getBlue();
//...SNIP...
ColorRange blue, red, green, yellow; //initialize these
//...SNIP...
   if ( blue.contains(robot.getPixelColor(640,480) ) {Furthermore, I would introduce constants for your sample locations:
Point blueLoc = new Point(640, 480); //etcEdited by: endasil on 14-Sep-2009 10:21 AM

Field color change

Hi,
You can use this function:
SRW.SET_FOREGROUND_FILL_COLOR('color');
or
SRW.SET_BACKGROUND_FILL_COLOR('color');
Inside the Conditional Formating.

Change required field border color

I have acro form created by Adobe 9 pro with required text field in it. The default border color for required field is red. Can I change it without javascript ?

Can I with javascript override the default color of the required field which is set in the category Forms of the Acrobat preferences ?

Required field indictator color

Is it possible to change the required field indictator (*) color to something other then red? I know that it is possible to change the skin using a different image however I do not want to create an image for just an asterisk symbol?

Hi,
FormItem uses a swf symbol for the indicator skin. So the best option is to use another symbol/image/prgrammatic skin. If you want, you can override FormItem class, loop through the children, find the symbol and change the color by applying blendMode or filters. But it is not simple as the first method.

Color change of a field in ALV Grid Control

Hi,
One small help needed....
My req is explained below:
I have 3 fields empno, ename and deptno. and the records of these fields would be displayed in ALV grid control.
When I hover the mouse on ename field, the color of the complete field should change to other color, say "RED".
How do I get this. Are there any Mouse events in SAP?
Kalyan

Hi,
Once i changed the color of a field in a alv (not grid alv), i suspose that the same in alv grid. Also i used an mouse event.
To manage the color:
TYPE-POOLS : SLIS, and check this type: SLIS_T_SPECIALCOL_ALV.
when you call the function to display the alv, there is a parameter in which you should pass an internal table that references the type SLIS_T_SPECIALCOL_ALV.
To manage the mouse:
1.- You should add the event user command:
for example:
DATA: I_EVENT TYPE SLIS_ALV_EVENT.
Llamo al la función que obtiene los eventos validos para el ALV
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET'
       EXPORTING
            I_LIST_TYPE     = 0
       IMPORTING
            ET_EVENTS       = P_EVENTS
       EXCEPTIONS
            LIST_TYPE_WRONG = 1
            OTHERS          = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ELSE.
agrega evento user command
    READ TABLE P_EVENTS INTO I_EVENT
      WITH KEY NAME = SLIS_EV_USER_COMMAND.
    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
      I_EVENT-FORM = SLIS_EV_USER_COMMAND.
      MODIFY P_EVENTS FROM I_EVENT INDEX SY-TABIX.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
2.- you work with the user command event:
FORM USER_COMMAND USING R_UCOMM LIKE SY-UCOMM
                        RS_SELFIELD TYPE SLIS_SELFIELD .
CASE R_UCOMM.
    WHEN C_DOBLE_CLICK.
    here you do the things that you need when the mouse *     bottom it's pressed
      PERFORM xxxxxxx.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
3.- you can change the form of the mouse, but i don't remember exactly how to do that... try to check that, it's helpfull in order to display the fields that can execute a funtion in your alv.
I hope this help you, and sorry for my english.
Albio.-

Change the Data Type of a Standard Required Field

Hello Experts,
Need to know if is it possible to change the data type of a standard field. The field is marked as a required field.
For example: If a standard field is an Object Picker and I would like to change it to a string field. Is it possible? How can I do it?!
Many thanks,
Igor Nakamura

Hi Igor,
Since you cannot hide a required field, what you can do is move the standard required field to someplace less noticable (like the bottom of the page) and then use a validation script to set it to some benign value.

Thank you Klaus for your reply,
The problem is that I need to make this using classes.
I tried to make my structure data with LVC_T_SCOL as you wrote,
a field of table type LVC_T_SCOL in the structure of your output table
DATA BEGIN OF lt_data.
       INCLUDE STRUCTURE sflight.
       DATA cellcolors TYPE lvc_t_scol .
   DATA END OF lt_data.
TYPES: BEGIN OF mtt_tab.

           INCLUDE TYPE ZKSLT_SFLIGHT.
           TYPES: cellcolors TYPE lvc_t_scol ,
             END OF mtt_tab.
After making type mtt_tab
i declare data   lt_tab                    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mtt_tab.
and when I try to copy table mt_sflight (it is atribut of calss) like below
LOOP AT mt_sflight INTO ls_mt .
*   READ TABLE lt_tab INDEX sy-tabix ASSIGNING <ls_tab>.
*   MOVE-CORRESPONDING <ls_mt> TO <ls_tab>.
*    UPDATE lt_tab FROM TABLE mt_sflight.
     MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_mt to lt_tab.
   ENDLOOP.
I am getting error "lt_tab is not internal str or table with header"
Can you help me with this?

Radio buttons created as required fields don't change to yellow when not submitted.

I am creating an online form with required fields. Some of these fields are radio buttons. This issue is when the form is submitted without the required radio buttons selected the user is given an alert that they need to complete the required fields and those required fields become "highlighted" in yellow. In Mozilla (v16), the radio buttons do not change yellow. This features works in IE. The form works best with radio buttons versus drop-down or text box. Most of our employees use Mozilla, so would like to find a solution. Thanks.

the syten should always allow you to change except you have set the "Functional authorization for buyers"
in SPRO-MM-Purchasing-authorizationmanagement-define Function Authorizations: Purchase Order
if this is set ethn it wont allow
remove this config or remove the parameter id for EFB from SU01 from parameter tab

Color Changes in Spry Data Fields

Hi All,
I'm new to Javascript & PHP programming. Currently I have coded neccesary apperances for the Web Page and also Spry Data Set to read an external XML date source file.
What I need to do is one of the fields, needs to have color based status changes based on certain data or criterias received.
For example,
I have a Spry Table displayed on my browser,
Name
Current Status
Lane
Jane
6 Mins
1
Peter
Boarding
2
Sally
Arriving
3
Alex
Delayed
4
With the above, what I need is when the current status show in minutes, the text color will be white (This has been coded with CSS Style)
For the Current Status color changes, when I received anything apart from minutes, the display will be as of below :-
Minutes = Black
Boarding = Red
Arriving = Green
Delayed = Yellow
My question is can this be coded with just Javascript, HTML and normal CSS
OR
This needs to be coded in PHP, ASP ?
I'm not familiar with ASP and only have very little knowledge of PHP. If anyone here have some experience with this, can offer some advice on how I can apply this theory into my existing. And if possible some code example would be great.
Thanks.

I have tried many times on Ben's method and it didn't work.
I have also tried the method from Adobe's documentation site.
Method 1
<ul spry:region="dsStates" spry:if="{ds_RowCount} != 0" spry:repeat="dsStates" spry:test="'{name}'.match(/^[amn]/i);" spry:choose="choose">
     <li spry:when="'{name}'.match(/^n/i);" style="color: red;">{name}</li>
     <li spry:when="'{name}'.match(/^m/i);" style="color: blue;">{name}</li>
     <li spry:when="'{name}'.match(/^a/i);" style="color: green;">{name}</li>
</ul>
Method 2
<div spry:region="dsStates" spry:if="{ds_RowCount} != 0">
<table border="1" spry:repeatchildren="dsStates" spry:test="'{name}'.match(/^[amn]/i);" spry:choose="choose">
     <tr spry:when="'{name}'.match(/^n/i);" style="background-color: red;"><td>{name}</td></tr>
     <tr spry:when="'{name}'.match(/^m/i);" style="background-color: blue;"><td>{name}</td></tr>
     <tr spry:when="'{name}'.match(/^a/i);" style="background-color: green;"><td>{name}</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
Can anyone make it plain and simple of how the data source should look like ?
I'm posting my source code here to make things easy.

The above is the HTML file I start working with.
The {Current} field needs to have it's data periodically changing color & addition of flashing effect based on it's input from the XML data.
So my question is how do I work about ? I don't quite get the explanation above.
Thanks.

Change the tooltip of selectively required field

In the af:query, we mark some fields to be selectively required.
However we want to have at least 2 fields to be selected instead of just 1 field when doing the search.
Could we change the tooltip of the '**' from 'At least 1 is required' to 'At least 2 are required'?
using jdev 11.1.1.7.0
Thanks

Hi,
don't think you can. And if then still the logic would not be in-synch with the text. So if users would ignore the tooltip then they still could issue queries with a single selected value. So the enhancement request you want to file with customer support is to allow multiple required fields with a change to the tooltip then
