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.

Look for the indicatorSkin style

Change required field border color

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

An other question about required fields en color change

I've got 4 fields.
The client must enter a Country name in Field1
If this is "NL", than Field2, Field3 and Field4 become required.
I've done this with FormCalc
if (Field1 == "NL") then
Field2.validate.nullTest="error"
Field3.validate.nullTest="error"
Field4.validate.nullTest="error"
else
Field2.validate.nullTest="disabled"
Field3.validate.nullTest="disabled"
Field4.validate.nullTest="disabled"
endif
Now comes my problem:
When field2, field3, and field4 are requered, they have to change color (fill color red) when empty
And when they are not required, they don't have to change color
Can anyone help me with this problem?

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

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,

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.

Error: The following required field is missing from the launch file: jnlp

PLEASE help me.
I was at Starbuck's today trying to install new software for my new wireless internet card and when I finished I could no longer access any of my applications that require java... I have a macbook pro dual platform computer. When I try to access www.bayphoto.com to download my application it says: (see below) (which I think is strange because it's all about Starbuck's and it should be my java code- I think...). Like I said - I have no idea what's going on or how to fix this. Please help me or at least tell me whom to call- I feel so stupid- I just need help- ATT? Starbuck's? Sun?

Highlight required fields/Clear fillColor upon data entry

So here's what I'm trying to do in LifeCycle Designer 7. I have a dynamic form that I highlight the required fields by setting their fillColor to a blue upon form initialization. I then want the fields to go to transparent after data has been entered into them. But then if they delete that data, I want the color to return so they know they still need to put data in that field.
I've gotten some help from these forums, but I just can't seem to get it to where it needs to be. I can go between blue and white (w/ a visible border that I don't want), but I cannot get the fields to go completely transparent. If there was a way to automatically check the "Highlight Fields" and/or "Highlight Required Fields" boxes upon opening the pdf, I wouldn't have to do this at all.
So here is my code for the exit event of the fields:
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "")
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "hidden";
this.fillColor = "153,255,255";
else
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "visible";
this.fillColor = "255,255,255";
If I take out the fill in the else statement, it always stays blue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem, cannot get the fill color back to transparent.
Could you find a solution?
Regards,
Chris

Conditional Required Fields

Is it possible to have conditional required fields. As in if a certain box is selected, certain fields will become required. Take a look at this example if this needs clarification. In this example, the left 3 text boxes are required. If I check the middle checkbox, can I make it so the 3 text fields in the middle now become required as well. Furthermore, if I check off the 3rd check box (rightmost one), can I make all of the text boxes as required fields. Thanks!

Hope You have the code on the check box change event, which decides the need of required or not.
if(this.rawValue =='1')
TextField1.mandatory = "error";
TextField2.mandatory = "error";
TextField3.mandatory = "error";
Gender.mandatory = "error";
Gender.border.edge.color.value = "225,0,0";
else{
TextField1.mandatory = "disabled";
TextField2.mandatory = "disabled";
TextField3.mandatory = "disabled";
Gender.mandatory = "disabled";
Gender.border.edge.color.value = "0,0,0";
If you have facing any problem send me ur form to [email protected] if possible, If need sample give me ur email id so that i can post the form.

Posting Error: Field Pers.No. is a required field for G/L account

When I am trying to run the simulation posting run (PC00_M99_CIPE) then is getting an error that u201CField Pers.No. is a required field for G/L account 2275 504566872u201D
Field Pers.No. is a required field for G/L account 2275 504566872
Message no. F5808
Diagnosis
The value for field "Pers.No." in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "504566872" in company code "2275" linked to the field selection for posting key "50".
Procedure
It might be an error in the configuration of the G/L account field selection. The initial application, used to call up the interface must otherwise define a value for field "Pers.No.". If this is the case, contact the consultant responsible for the application used to call up the interface or get in contact with SAP directly.
Please help.

First of all did you required to post with personnel number or not....if it is not required then goto FS00 enter your GL account 504566872....find Field Staus Group under tab Create/Bank/Interest........then goto t code OBVV and select your field status group then click on field status and select Additional account assignments and check personnel number status and change as per your requirement optional or required.
If personnel number required then create symbolic a/c with account type Q and assign gl account to this symbolic a/c.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. 1st gen iPad.

A pop-up message is frozen on my settings page. I was trying to set up an apple id for iTunes when I got a message "required fields have been left blank. The missing information is highlighted in red." the ok button doesn't work. The message is now fixed & I cannot get rid of it. Ironically, when I found this forum I was able to set up an apple Id. Please advise how to get rid of the pop-up box. Thanks!

I'm having this same problem as well and cannot advance--very irritating. All of the information is filled out correctly and I've editted my AppleID information online separately as well to get around this issue, but no luck...

MissingFieldException[ The following required field is missing from the lau

Hi, I'm new to this forum so please put this thread in the right place if I have made a mistake.
But here's my problem:
I'm using jre 7 with the latest version.
I downloaded and wanted to launch a Java based .jar game, which runs perfectly for the other users but my JRE gives the following error:
Application error - unable to launch the application.
MissingFieldException[ The following required field is missing from the launch file: <jnlp>]

     at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
On the forum where is the game developed i got the following answer:
''+it seems your OS/jre installation tries to start the jar as an applet which fails, because it's a regular application and not an applet. is there any way you can convince your jre to start LS as an application? i would like to give better/more detailed advice, but i'm not running windows, so i can't check for myself/try to work out a step-by-step guide.+ ''
As I have browsed the internet for hours and haven't come up with a solution I'm asking for some help.

That error seems to indicate that the JNLP file is broken because it is missing the starting starting <jnlp> XML tag; I'll take a guess and just say that it is completely empty. Since it works for other users, apparently somehow when you download it on your computer you end up with a broken file. No idea why, no way for me to know why either. I don't have access to your computer. All I can say is: try in another browser and if that doesn't work, try on another computer. If it works there, well then you may have to face the fact that your computer might need a clean install.
And PS: this is a Java programming forum, not technical support for whatever game you want to play that just happens to use Java.

NULL value not validated for a Required field

Hi,
I have added a MessageLovInput item to the expense header page (/oracle/apps/ap/oie/entry/header/webui/GeneralInformationPG), and have made the Required Value to True. But I do not get any error when I navigate to the next page without populating the field. If I enter in incorrect information, it validates it against the LOV, but not for null values.
Any pointers to make the field validate NULL values?
Thanks,
Ashish

Yeah.. I can see the Required field indicator (*) next to the field. I have tried with all the values (uiOnly, ValidatorOnly, Yes etc.), but it does not validate NULL values.
I'll try to handle this in the controller, but would prefer if this can be done by personalization.

Check for required fields before locking subforms and submitting

Hello,
I have a 5-page form with many questions, to be completed by the original requestor and multiple approvers. What I'm trying to do is have the original requestor's Submit button on p. 3 lock the input on the first three pages, but first check if all those fields have some content. I currently have all the fields on pp. 1-3 set to "Required" in the object properties, but my script still locks them when there's is one empty one. Here's what I have:
//Lock portions of form
Page1.access = "readOnly"
Page2.access = "readOnly"
Page3.access = "readOnly"
//Save document, allow user to change name
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
//Submit via e-mail
Submit_REAL.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]" +
"?subject=Subject text" +
"&body=Message";
Submit_REAL.execEvent("click");
The automatic check for required fields happens after the pages get locked. I would like the check to stop the process before it locks the pages. Is there any way to check all at once that all "Required" fields on those pages have some content before allowing the script to proceed? I know how to script it to manually check the 50 or so questions on those pages, but I would like to avoid that. Thanks for any help.

There are a few problems that I can see from the start. First, your code is going to pick up EVERY node that exists on these pages. Some of those nodes will not have a rawValue, and some will not have an actual name. As an example, you can take your code and create a text field to dump all of the names of the nodes that you get when you pull in all of the nodes this way. Here's an example:
The result:
Now, the question is, do you have a consistent naming convention for your fields that might be empty? That could be text fields, radio button lists, etc. For instance, I always prefix the names of objects in order to more easily keep track of what they are in scripts. Since I'm doing that, I can check the name of the field for tf, nf, rbl, cb, or whatever I have included to make sure that I'm checking an actual field before I check for things like rawValue.
var nodeName = oNodes.item(nNodeCount).name;
if (nodeName.indexOf("tf")>-1 || nodeName.indexOf("rbl") > -1 || /*check other field types*/) {
//insert your code to check for empty answers here
As for your line 7 issue. The syntax problem is that you've put extra parentheses in your if statement. Take out the parentheses that are just before and after the or "||".
*This is my fourth attempt to reply. Something was going on with Adobe/Jive earlier, I suppose.
