Retrieving & displaying values from a slide in Adobe Captivate 5.5

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 5.5.
1.In a slide I assign a variable with "active" or "disabled" when user clicks Active button or Disabled button in that slide. This I do with Javascript.
2.In the next slide I am able to retrieve the resultant (active/disabled). And I want this result to be displayed on a button as a label or display in a Test Caption. Is it possible to do. If so how?
Please suggest.
With thank and regards
Krishna

I am able to save the text in a java script variable and show the same in an alert (as you observed) but not clear/sure how to assign or save it to a user defined variable in Captivate. Kindly suggest how to first create this user defined variable  and how to displays the contents in Captivate.

  • Re: [iPlanet-JATO] Re: Retrieving all Values from a Tiled View

    Todd,
    Let me try to explain you this time. I have a text field in a TiledViewBean.
    When I display the page, the text field
    html tag is created with the name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" say
    five times/rows with same name.
    The html tags look like this.
    <input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
    maxlength=9 size=13>
    <input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
    maxlength=9 size=13>
    <input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
    maxlength=9 size=13>
    When the form is submitted, I want to get the text field values using the
    method getTbFieldName().getValues() which
    returns an array object[]. This is in case where my TiledViewBean is not
    bound and it is working fine.
    Now in case when my TiledView is bound to a model, it creates the html tags
    as follows.
    <input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldName" value=""
    maxlength=9 size=13>
    <input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[1].tbFieldName" value=""
    maxlength=9 size=13>
    <input type=text name="PageDetail.rDetail[2].tbFieldName" value=""
    maxlength=9 size=13>
    Now when I say getTbFieldName().getValues() it returns only the first
    element values in the object[] and the rest of the
    values are null.
    May be we need to create a utility method do get these values from
    requestContext.

    Raju.--
    I wanted to know how the getValues() method works the reason being,
    when the tiled view is NOT bound to a model, it populates all the
    fields with the same name as some thing likeI'm afraid I don't understand your point--can you please clarify? Do you
    mean "value" instead of "name"?
    What are you trying to do? What behavior are you expecting but notseeing?
    >
    Without further clarification, I can say that the setValues() methodsNEVER
    populates data on multiple rows of a (dataset) model, nor does it affect
    multiple fields on the same row. Perhaps what you are seeing is theeffect
    of default values. Model that derive from DefaulModel have the ability to
    carry forward the values set on the first row to other rows in lieu ofdata
    in those other rows. This behavior is for pure convenience and can be
    turned off, and it is turned off for the SQL-based models.

    PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldValue

    in which case, the getValues() method works fine.
    But in case where the tiled view is bound to a model, it populates
    with different field names such as,
    PageDetail.rDetail[0].tbFieldValue
    PageDetail.rDetail[1].tbFieldValue
    in this case, the getValues() doesn't work. Any soultion to this?
    We are using Moko 1.1.1.

    ie Something that returns an Object[] or Vector just like ND returned a

  • How to retrieve 2 values from a table in a LOV

    Hi
    I'm pretty new to APEX. I try to retrieve two values from a table using a LOV. I have a table named DEBIT with then columns SITE, NAME and KEY
    I want to display NAME to the user in a list. When the user select an item from the list, I want to retrieve the data of the SITE and KEY column of this item in order to launch an SQL command based on this two values.
    How to retrieve thes two values whant the user chooses an item from the list ?
    I apologize for my english, being french.
    Regards.
    Christian

    Christian,
    From what I understood about your requirement, you want a 'select list with submit' which displays "NAME" and based on the value selected, you want to get the corresponding values for "SITE" and "KEY" from the table.
    <b>Step 1: Create a select list with submit, say P1_MYSELECT </b><br><br>
    Use something like this in the dynamic list of values for the select list: <br>
    SELECT NAME display_value, NAME return_value
    FROM DEBIT<br><br>
    <b>Step 2: Create a page process of type PL/SQL block. Also create 2 hidden items P1_KEY and P1_SITE. </b><br><br>
    In the PL/sQL, write something like:
    DECLARE
      v_key DEBIT.KEY%TYPE;
      v_site DEBIT.SITE%TYPE;
      CURSOR v_cur_myvals IS
              SELECT KEY, SITE
              FROM DEBIT
              WHERE NAME = :P1_MYSELECT;
    BEGIN
      OPEN v_cur_myvals;
      LOOP
              FETCH v_cur_myvals
              INTO  v_key,v_site;
              EXIT WHEN v_cur_myvals%NOTFOUND;
    :P1_KEY := v_key;   
    :P1_SITE := v_site; 
      END LOOP;
      CLOSE v_cur_myvals;
    END; <br><br>
    Then you can use these values for whatever purpose you need to.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to retrieve the values from PL/SQL table types.

    Hi Every one,
    I have the following procedure:

    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    t t1;
    BEGIN
    SELECT *
    BULK COLLECT INTO t

    This procedure works perfectly fine to store the rows of employee in a table type. I am not able to retrieve the values from Pl/SQL table and display it using dbms_output.put_line command.
    Can anybody help me please!!!!!
    Thanks
    Ahmed.

    You mean, you can't add this
    for i in t.first..t.last loop
    dbms_output.put_line(t(i).empno||' '||t(i).ename||' '||t(i).job);
    end loop;or you can't add this
    set serveroutput onor maybe, you are working in third party application where dbms_output is not applicable at all?
    You see, not able like very similar it is not working - both are too vague...

  • Retrieving all values from hashmap in order you put them in

    Hi guys,
    I want to retrieve all values from a HashMap in the order I put them in.
    So I can't use the values() method that gives back a collection and iterate over that.
    Do you guys know a good way to do that ?

    You can just do something like this:
    class OrderedMap
        private final Map  m_rep = new HashMap();
        private final List m_keys = new ArrayList();
        public Object get( final Object key )
            return m_rep.get( key );
        public Object put( final Object key, final Object value )
            final Object result = m_rep.put( key, value );
            if ( result != null )
                m_keys.add( key );
            return result;
        public Object remove( final Object key )
            final Object result = m_rep.remove( key );
            if ( result != null )
                m_keys.add( key );
            return result;
        public Iterator keyIterator()
            return m_rep.iterator();
    }Then use it like this:
       for ( Iterator it = map.keyIterator(); it.hasNext(); )
           final Object value = map.get( it.next() );
       }This will be in the order you put them in. However, if you want to do this correctly, you should implement the Map interface and add all the methods. Another thing you can do is download the JDK 1.4 source, learn how they did and do it the same way for 1.2.

  • How to retrieve the values from a table if they differ in Unit of Measure

    How to retrieve the values from a table if they differ in Unit of Measure?

    If no data is read
    - Insure that you use internal code in SELECT statement, check via SE16 desactivating conversion exit on table T006A. ([ref|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2a/fa0122493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm])
    If no quanity in result internal table
    - There is no adqntp field in the internal table, so no quantity is copied in itab ([ref|http://help.sap.com /abapdocu_70/en/ABAPINTO_CLAUSE.htm#&ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_1@1@]).
    - - Remove the CORRESPONDING, so quantity will fill the first field adqntp1.  ([ref|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENOPEN_SQL_WA.htm])
    - - Then loop at the internal table and move the quantity when necessary to the 2 other fields.

          <fs>-adqnt3 = <fs>-adqnt1.
          CLEAR <fs>-adqnt1.
      ENDCASE.

  • How can I get dataTable to display values from the java layer?

    When I use the dataTAble in my JSP page it will only display values from my java layer if the facets tag has it's name set to "header". Why is this happening?
    If I set it to "header" and I look at the page source it actually has created the correct number of rows but it doesn't put the values between the <td> tags? It see's the length of my list but it doesn't pick the values out of the list.

    I've been able to get it working with some of those changes along with changes in the JSP. I think it's a setting or two in the JSP that'll allow the program to run correctly.
    I have a list and it's returned like what you suggested. A day or two ago I tried to move the outputtext outside of the facet tag but nothing would print, I know believe that's related to the following setting in the JSP:
    rows="0" in the <h:dataTAble tag
    Unfortunately the dataTAble isn't displaying the values correctly. It prints all of the values (Strings) in the list on each row and it make a new row for the number of items in the list.......... ???
    Here's what it's printing to the screen (the table):
    ===================
    == [asdasd], [sddfdfd] ==
    ===================
    ===================
    == [asdasd], [sddfdfd]==
    ===================
    what it should print:
    ============
    == [asdasd] ==
    ============
    ============
    == [sddfdfd] ==
    ============
    My code:
    public List gettest()
              List li = new ArrayList();
              li.add("asdasd");
              li.add("affffd");
              return li;

  • Sales Order form error  "Not able to retrieve Display values for Service"

    Hi,
    Few of our orders flash the below error message when the order is queried
    "Not able to retrieve Display values for Service"
    Below are the points I observed
    1.The orders I am referring to are imported order via EDI interface.
    2.The service reference type code has value of ORDER, however no other service related fields (like service reference line id) have any values.
    3. The item is not a service item (service tab in Item setup is disabled)
    4. Same item when imported with value of "Customer Ordered" in "service reference type code" field, does not throw an error.
    5. If I update "service reference type code" with value null or change it to CUSTOMER_PRODUCT, the error disappears.
    Can someone explain the significance of this column value and what could have been causing this error message?
    May be there are some dependent fields/setups which must have a value when service reference type code =ORDER.
    Thanks in advance,
    JC

  • Has anyone retrieved a value from a system Matrix from selecting the row

    Hi everyone, I am trying to retrieve the value of a cell from the first column of a matrix depending on which row the user has highlighted.  I can access the value from specifying which row to retrieve the value from but not from the user selecting which row.   Im attempting do do this from the open items list system form which is accessed from the reports menu. 
    To retrieve the value from the first row my code is as follows:
    oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("5").Specific
    DocNo = oMatrix.Columns.Item("1").Cells.Item(1).Specific.Value
    SBO_Application.MessageBox(DocNo)
    How do I change this code to access the value of the cell depending on which row is highlighted?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Sally,
    you will get the selected row number on any event through "pVal.Row", you can get this value in a integer variable like:
    int i = pVal.Row
    and pass it in your code;
    DocNo = oMatrix.Columns.Item("1").Cells.item(i)
    or you can do same in this way also:
    you have to specify your particular cell as a edit text and get the value of that:
    oEditText=(SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oMatrix.Columns.Item("1").Cells.Item(i).Specific;
    string1 = oEditText.String;
    Hope it will help.

  • Value "null" is displayed when retrieving null values from database

    Hi,
    I'm retrieving a record from Oracle database using a ResultSet rs and displaying the values on screen. Some of the columns do not have any data.
    The statements are:
    ResultSet rs
    st=con.createStatement();
    rs=st.executeQuery(............)
    out.println("<input name='punch_line' type='text' value='"+rs.getString(7)+"'>");
    The problem is that there is no value in the database column rs.getString(7). Ideally when the value is null, the field should not display anything. But in my case it is displaying the text "null".
    Can anyone let me know how can I display a blank value instead of displaying the text "null"?
    Thanks,

    api >
    String getString(int columnIndex)
    Gets the value of the designated column in

    so null is returned as string object..NO.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/sql/ResultSet.html
    Returns:
    the column value; if the value is SQL NULL, the value returned is null
    The Java literal null is returned, not the String "null". The JDBC API provides a method wasNull() to detect if the previous accessed column returned a SQL NULL.

  • Retrieving ALL values from a single restricted user property

    How can I retrieve ALL values of a single restricted user property from within
    a .jpf file?
    I want to display a dropdown list within a form in a JSP which should contain
    all the locations listed in the property 'locations'. I ever get just the default
    value when I access the property via
    ProfileWrapper pw = userprofile.getProfileForUser(user);
    Object prop = pw.getProperty("ClockSetup", "Locations");

    Well, the code you've got will retrieve the single value of the property
    for the current user. You're getting the default value because the
    current user doesn't have Locations property set, so the ProfileWrapper
    returns the default value from the property set.
    I assume you want to get the list of available values that you entered
    into the .usr file in Workshop. If so, I've attached a
    SetColorController.jpf, index.jsp, and GeneralInfo.usr (put in
    META-INF/data/userprofiles) I wrote for an example that does just this.
    It uses the PropertySetManagerControl to retrieve the restricted values
    for a property, and the jsp uses data-binding to create a list from that
    pageflow method.
    For a just-jsps solution, you can also use the
    <ps:getRestrictedPropertyValues/> tag. I've attached a setcolor-tags.jsp
    that does the same thing.

  • Passing value from Webdynpro ABAP to Adobe form..

    Hi experts,
            In first view of web dynpro, im getting employee id as input and after clicking the create new button, an adobe form is called
    to create the employee details ( in form i used the submit button and i stored the details ). so, in tat form i used the employee id as read only mode and it has to display the value which i given as input. But in tat form im not getting the value from web dynpro..
    can anyone plz help me out for this..
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi,
    Try to set your values in Method->"wddomodify" of the View in which Adobe Form is present. If you want to pass values from one view to another then check this link [Passing Local Parameters between views in an ABAP Web Dynpro Application|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/stage/PassingLocalParametersbetweenviewsinanABAPWebDynproApplication] or use Context declared in Component Controller.

  • Retrieve input values from the selection screen

    I have a requirement to retrieve the variable value or values inputed from the selection screen and label the worksheet tab to replace the tab name 'Sheet1' from the Excel. The only way to do this would be to write a macro to label the sheets but how would I retrieve the value(s) from the selection screen criteria? Is the value of the selection screen entered by the user stored in some table? How would I write the macro to retrieve this value?
    For example, I want to retrieve the company code entered from the selection screen and lets say the company code entered as 10; I would want to replace the worksheet from 'Sheet1' to '10' . Texts would be more recognizable.

    Use the option Layout->Display Text Elements->Variables from the BEx toolbar. This will display Variable screen user input on your workbook in a fixed location. Then you can use your macro to name the worksheet with the cell reference.
    Thanks

  • Retrieve changing values from TextInput Flash Component

    Hi,
    I've been banging my head against the wall with this one....
    I've placed aTextInput Flash Component on the stage which
    reads/displays a value from an external text file. So far so good.
    If I enter new text during run-time - editable is set to true
    - the TextInput component updates to reflect what I've typed. BUT,
    how do I retrieve that text to a variable? (I need to save the new
    value back to the external text file).
    Current code:
    myfieldtext = sprite(51).text
    And eventPassMode is set to passAlways
    this retrieves the initial value regardless of what I type.
    Any help appreciated!

    I'm not sure if this all helps, but I had to make a flash
    name input box
    recently. I was getting all sorts of weird results trying to
    get the text
    out of flash. It was giving me all the font info etc, and I
    just needed the
    name. So what I ended up doing is when they were done
    entering the text, I
    put the text into a variable within flash, then pulled the
    data from that
    variable rather than striaght out of the text.
    in director, in the behaviour attached to the flash sprite:
    myText = sprite("nameInput").getVariable( "myNameString",
    True)
    where the sprite is named "nameInput". It seems better to
    name the sprite
    and refer to it that way than using the sprite number, such
    as sprite(51).
    In flash I have the text input field named "textInput", and
    the following
    code attached to the save button. You may have to use a
    different event,
    like when they text input loses focus.
    on (release) {
    var myNameString = "";
    myNameString = textInput.text
    trace(myNameString)
    getURL('event:doEvent,1')
