Returning a value from a LOV to the main document

Hi,
I'm using jheadsrart with uix, I have a form with a LOV. When I chose a value in the LOV, I need to return another value from that LOV to a hidden field in my main document.
How can I do that?
Thanks for your help!
Martin

Hi Rohit,
Just declare the two variables var1(variable for checking data) & var2(variable for counter) in your include program.
Inside the include you can do the coding as under:
IF VAR1 <condition for checking data>.
VAR2 = VAR2 + 1.
ENDIF.
Now you can check the value of the variable VAR2 in the main program & call the desired function.

Chetan.

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards

Return multiple values from dynamic lov in apex 3.2.1

Hi
I need to create a dynamic lov that displays multiple values from a table and RETURNS multiple values into display only fields in a form page to be saved to the database
For example
dynamic list of value name SERVER
select name || ',' || life_cycle d, name r
from sserver
order by 1
This SERVER LOV is attached to the P4_SSERVER_NAME field in the form.
However this only returns sserver. name into the P4_SSERVER_NAME field in the form. I would need to capture the life_cycle field as well and populate the P4_LIFE_CYCLE field in the form as well. How does one do this?
I have searched this forum however could not find a thread that fit my situation. i saw that in 4.2 there is dynamic action however unable to upgrade at this moment.
any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thank you

Hi CRL,
One method is to set the value of your P4_LIFE_CYCLE item via APEX_UTIL.set_session_state
To do this you need to create a Page Process
Type PL/SQL anonymous block
Process Point On Load - Before Header
The source for the Process might look like this: DECLARE
   l_life_cycle   VARCHAR2 (50);
BEGIN
   SELECT life_cycle
     INTO l_life_cycle
     FROM sserver
    WHERE :p4_sserver_name = sserver.name;
   APEX_UTIL.set_session_state ('P4_LIFE_CYCLE', l_life_cycle);
END;Jeff

Bold value from popup LOV

Hi,
style="font-weight:bold" or class="fielddatabold" in the element's HTML Form Element Attributes work perfectly for the text field. I cannot get the same result for field with disp.value from popup LOV (display value,return key). I can change font family for example, but cannot bold. Any suggestions ?

Thanks a lot for your answer. I got the same idea, but cannot see any place to manage returned values on this template. Description from pop-up key LOV seems to be turned "disabled", and will get the grey colour on the screen. However, if I will change to Select list, it looks fine.

Two values from a LOV to Timecard LDT

Hi,
I have a requirement to pull two values from single LOV to Timecard layout page.
e.g.: Suppose we have a LOV field 'emp_number' on layout and this field is getting value from one LOV. Query in LOV shows emp_number and emp_last_name. I want to put one more field on layout page by the name Last_Name and whenever a emp_number value is selected in LOV, corresponding emp_last_name value should be coming to Last_Name field of layout page. Can somebody please help me on how to do this?
I have tried to add one similar HXC_LAYOUT_COMPONENTS as of Emp_number LOV field to ldt file with component = 'Text_Field' but it is not working for me :(

Follow this note 307151.1, this note describes how to populate a Task Name in a different field when Task number is selected in LOV, you have a similar requirement, so you can configure the attributes as described in that note.

Returning multiple values from a function

Hello everyone,
I am pretty new to actionscript and flex and one thing i am not entirly sure it is done is how to get the value in actionscript when returning multple values.
for example i have the following function:
public function sayhello():string
     var hello:String="hello World";
     return hello
var myvalue:String=sayhello();
trace(myvalue);
How do go about getting the values of two returns:
public function sayhello():string
     var strhello:String="hello";
      var strWorld:String="World";
     return strhello,strWorld;
var myvalue1:String=?????
var myvalue2:String=???

To solve this problem you must use a object for storing complex return value.
You can do it using inline anonymous object:
public function sayhello():Object
     return {strHello: "hello";strWorld: "World"}
and accesing result as:
var obj:Object = sayhello();
var strHello:String = obj.strHello;
You may also create a custom class
class HelloWorldResult{
     public var strHello:String;
     public var strWorld:String;
and return a new instance of this class from your method:
public function sayhello():HelloWorldResult
     var hwr:HelloWorldResult = new HelloWorldResult();
     hwr.strHello = "Hello";
     hwr.strWorld = "World";
     return hwr;

Return multiple values from a method

For a school project I have to make a parameter-less constructor that can input values from the keyboard and calculate those values. Now that I have the values how do I return them? I need to return 3 values from this parameter-less method.
I hoope someone can help.

Qwertyfshag wrote:
Here is the wording of the assignment. I have copied and pasted it word for word:
"Declare and use a no-argument (or "parameter-less") constructor to input the data needed, and to do the calculations."
Any advice???Find a teacher who isn't an idiot. That sentence is vague ("to input the data needed"? Does that mean that it's supposed to query the user (which is terrible) or that it's supposed to encapsulate the data as hardcoded values, or what?) and is a bad design. Constructors shouldn't do this sort of thing.
Ok I have done that part and now I want to retrieve the values of the calculations. How can I get those values out of that method What do you mean "that method"? Constructors aren't methods, and they don't return values.
I suppose you could define a class whose constructor queries the user, and which would have a method to return values. That could be pretty simple; the method signature would be like this:
Set<Integer> getValues();
This seems like an advanced problem.It's not advanced; it's just garbage.
I can't post the code in hear because that may constitute cheating. I am allowed to discuss it verbally but I cannot share code, sorry.You can't get a lot of help then. We can't psychically see what you've done so far.
In conclusion: I have to have two methods. One method is a constructorConstructors aren't methods. If your teacher told you that they are, then he/she doesn't know what he/she is doing.
that has NO parameters that will get input from the keyboard (done) and do the calculations (done). The other method must print that values to the screen on separate lines (not done). I don't know how to get the values out of the method.If they're two methods in the same class, then the constructor just needs to store the user input into a field of the class, and the other method can read the values in that field.

How do I return two values from a stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" within SQL Server 2008 R2

Hi,
How do I return two values from a
stored procedure into an "Execute SQL Task" please? Each of these two values need to be populated into an SSIS variable for later processing, e.g. StartDate and EndDate.
Thinking about stored procedure output parameters for example. Is there anything special I need to bear in mind to ensure that the SSIS variables are populated with the updated stored procedure output parameter values?
Something like ?
CREATE PROCEDURE [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate]
@intPeriod INT,
@strPeriod_Length NVARCHAR(1),
@dtStart NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT,
@dtEnd NVARCHAR(8) OUTPUT
AS
then within the SSIS component; -
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

Below execute statement should work along the parameter mapping which you have provided. Also try specifying the parameter size property as default.
Exec [etl].[ConvertPeriodToStartAndEndDate] ?,?,? output, ? output
Add a script task to check ssis variables values using,
Msgbox(Dts.Variables("User::strExtractStartDate").Value)
Do not forget to add the property "readOnlyVariables" as strExtractStartDate variable to check for only one variable.

Returning several values from a C native method

Hi,
I need to return 3 values from a native methode : an int (the return code), a string of variable length and a double.
In pure C, my function would be defined as "int f ( char* s, double* d)", and I would "malloc" the string into the calling function, then copy my string to "s" and use "*d" to return the double...
Is there a way to do that with JNI? I found some examples where the native function returns only one parameterlike: "return(*env)->NewStringUTF(env, buffer);" But I didn't find examples where the native function returns several parameters, including a string.
Thanks in advance!
JM

This really has nothing to do with JNI.
You have a method, and you want to return more than one type of value.
The following solutions are possible.
1. Return an array that contains all the values (actual return value.)
2. Return an object that contains all the values (actual return value.)
3. Use an array via the parameter list and fill in a value.
4. Use an object via the parameter list and fill in the values.

How to return multiple values from dialog popup

hi all
I'm using ADF 10g. I have a requirement that I have to return multiple values from a dialog.
I have a page containing a table with a button which calls the dialog. The dialog contains a multi-select table where i want to select multiple records and add them to the table in the calling page.
In the backing bean of the calling page, I have the returnListener method.
I am thinking that I have to store the selected rows from dialog in an array and return that array to the returnListener...but I don't know how to go about it with the code.
Can someone help me out with it?
thanks

Hi Frank,
I'm trying to implement your suggestion but getting comfused.
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, hashMap) is called in ActionListener method, from what I understood.
ReturnListener method already calls it, so no need to call explicitly.
Okay here's what i'm doing.
command button launches the dialog on the calling page.
In the dialog page, there is a button "select", which when i click, closes the dialog and returns to calling page. I put a af:returnActionListener on this button, which logically should have a corresponding ReturnListener() in the calling page backing bean.
Now I have 3 questions:
1. do i have to use ActionListener or ReturnListener?
2. where do I create the hashMap? Is it in the backing bean of the dialog or in the one of calling page?
3. how do I retrieve the keys n values from hashmap?
please help! thanks

Copying the value from a cell in the SQL results?

I run an sql query. The results are returned in a results window. I would like to copy the value from this cell
and paste it into an sql query. How can I do this? I can copy and paste a value from a cell in the view of the data in
a table, but not from the test results. How do I do this? Is there a setting I need to change?

I usually do this kind of operations and I've never had any issues, the procedure is as simple as CTRL-C in the results grid, with the required column/columns selected and CTRL-V in the worksheet or anywhere else.
If you still have issues please post your
- SQLDeveloper version
- Java Version
- OS
- Database Version
and if you can a small test case.

Radio Buttons - returning individual values from an exclusion group possible?

Using LC Designer 7.1
Does anyone know if it is possible to return individual values from an exclusion group of radio buttons? My xml data file gives one value for the entire group, e.g.,
2
...where the second radio button was selected. But I'd prefer an output something like this...
0
1
0
etc...
Is something in this format possible?

You might be better off to use checkboxes and script them to act like radio buttons (as an exclusion group). That way they'd each have an on/off value.

Dave

How do you log values from RT target to the computer?

Hi,
I am using sbRIO 9633. How do you log values from RT target to the computer?
I created a shared variable on the RT target and used them on the log VI created under "My Computer", but I get error.
I get this error..
\\192.168.1.140\temp deployment failed (error: -1967357949, IAK_SHARED: (Hex 0x8ABC8003) Unable to query Measurement & Automation Explorer for the Shared Variable Engine. Make sure the Shared Variable Engine exists on the RT target and check that the network connection is valid.).

What are your data rates? If you are producing data "continuously", you might find that Network Streams are easier and more reliable than Network Shared Variables. In any case, you need an "engine" on one side (Host or Target) or the other. I'm streaming 24 channels of 16-bit data from a PXI controller to a PC this way, with three other streams handling two-way messaging and transmission of "occasional" time-stamped data to the PC.
