Scrollbar on text item

i have a large data field that i need to display and i want to have a scrollbar for the user to scroll through the text item not the record set. is there anyway to do this?

Set three properties in the field's property pallette. Multi-Line in the Functional group makes the text field display multiple lines. Height in the Physical group makes the text field larger so you can see multiple lines. Show Vertical Scroll Bar in the Physical group puts a scroll bar in the field if the text goes off the displayed area.

Text item of varchar2(2000) with vertical scrollbar not displaying properly

Hi,
I have a text item of varchar2(2000) with a vertical scroll bar.
I am populating data into the text item using a forms procedure.
(Look at the sample code below)
The problem is the rpadding is NOT displayed properly. I mean
the detail records are NOT shown straight below their respective column heading
in the text item. (BUT if I cut this stuff from the text item and paste it in a
notepad, then the alignment is correct and the data is shown below their
respective column headings)
My code is something like below ...
CURSOR c_get_lab_client_results
IS
SELECT res.lr_id lr_id, org.short_name org_name, TO_CHAR(res.specimen_taken_date,'DD-MON-YYYY') std, substr(res.accession_number,1,20) acc_num, res.lr_type lrtype, res.hdc_id hdcid
FROM bc_organisations org,
cq_laboratory_results res
WHERE cli_id = :clients.cli_id
AND lr_id = :results.lr_id
AND res.org_id = org.org_id
ORDER BY lr_id;
Begin
-- Header
SELECT :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS||RPAD('ORGANISATION',16,' ')||' '||RPAD('SPECIMEN DATE',15,' ')||' '||RPAD('ACCESSION NUMBER',20)||' '||RPAD('RESULTS',16,' ')||chr(10)||chr(10)
INTO :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS FROM DUAL;
-- Detail
FOR c1 IN c_get_lab_client_results LOOP
ls_results := RPAD('XXXX',16,' '); -- Just for example
SELECT :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS||RPAD(TO_CHAR(c1.org_name),16,' ')||' '||RPAD(c1.std,15,' ')||' '||RPAD(c1.acc_num,20)||' '||ls_results||chr(10)
INTO :TRFRDTLS.TRANSFER_DETAILS FROM DUAL;
END LOOP;
End;
Thanks in advance.

How to find the ID of the text item of the column in an tabular form

Hello,
I have created a tabular form report on emp table and made ONE OF THE COLUMN department_id as an text item using APEX_ITEM.TEXT APIs.
My select query is
select
"EMPLOYEE_ID",
"EMPLOYEE_ID" EMPLOYEE_ID_DISPLAY,
"FIRST_NAME",
"LAST_NAME",
"HIRE_DATE",
"JOB_ID",
"SALARY",
"MANAGER_ID",
APEX_ITEM.TEXT(3,department_id,20,50,'readonly=true') department_id
from "#OWNER#"."OEHR_EMPLOYEES"
now how can i find the item ID?
one more thing is that how would i reference this item in an javascript function.
anyone plz help me out with this.
thanks.

Hi,
Firstly, your link must include "this" to ensure that any javascript knows which link has been clicked. So, change:
onclick="javascript:report();"to
onclick="javascript:report(this);"Next, your javascript code must take this value and find the related DEPTNO item on the same row. The URL must pass to the popup page the name of the ID that needs to be updated - this is held in the f10 variable in the following script. This means that you popup page must be able to receive this value so that it can use it to update the DEPTNO item when a value is selected. Your popup page seems to be page number 4, so I will assume that you have a P4_ITEM_ID hidden item on that page for this purpose. So, the javascript on the main page would be something like:
function report(x)
var f10;
var p = x.parentNode;
while (p.tagName != "TR")
p = p.parentNode;
var inputs = p.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
var zz;
for (zz = 0; zz < inputs.length; zz++)
if (inputs[zz].name = 'f10')
f01 = inputs[zz].id;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:4:&APP_SESSION.::::P4_ITEM_ID:' + f10;
var w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=450,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
}So, when the user clicks a link, the report() function is called and the object clicked is passed as a parameter. The script then starts from this object and goes up to the TR tag that the link is on. From here, it finds all INPUT items and then looks at those to find one that has a name attribute of "f10". When it finds it, it stores the ID of that in the "f10" variable. It then constructs a URL using this variable which is set into the P4_ITEM_ID hidden item on the popup page.
I don't know what your javascript is on the popup, but it would need to get the value out of P4_ITEM_ID to see which main page item needs updating. This could be something like:
function passBack(val)
var id = $v('P4_ITEM_ID');
opener.document.getElementById(id).value = val;
window.close();
}This script looks in the P4_ITEM_ID hidden item and gets its value - this will be the ID of the item to update on the main page. It then does the update and closes the popup.

: Hi

of

: char(30) with size of 10 characters.
An alternative is to declare the item as a multi-line text item
with wrap set on. This would give you a vertical scroll bar on
the item.
Another option is to programmaticaly pop up an Editor, each time
focus is moved to the item, or to actually change the width of
the item when focus moves to it (and shrink it back when focus
moves away.

Dynamically generating text item in developer

Hi,
I am developing applicationn in developer 6i and I am facing problem regarding
displaying records in form. My query is
select ename, edept from sale where city = 'NYK'
suppose this query fetch 10 records and I dispalyed them in developer but problem is that I donot
want to display scroll bar in form and only 10 text items to display 10 record.
some times my query fetch 15 record and I have opted to display 10 record and unchecked the
scroll bar in FORMs designing it displays 10 records and 5 records where shown when i use
key board to go down and then I can see them.
kindly tell me whether I can use some commands to generate text items
dynamically depending upon my records.
If I have ten record then only 10 text items will be displayed and if 15
then only 15 text items.
Thanks

Hi,
You cannot create items at run time.
You could create the items at design time in a control block and programatically show or hide them based on a query to retrieve the details you need.
I would ask why you want to do this. Enable the scrollbar, let the users scroll up and down and you get all the functionality for free. No need to create a control block, populate it, control the number of displayed items, considerations on canvas size when number displayed would overflow canvas.
Oracle spends billions of dollars developing software so you don't have to go through the pain.
If you cannot simply do something in forms, then question the requirement, not try to re-engineer Forms

Height of text items

hi,
I've created a form using the wizard. Some of the bigger VARCHAR based items got a default height of 4 lines, which is too much. So I changed them to a height of one line.
But they render different in my webbrowser (both IE and Opera) than text items which have a default height of one line and which are created by the wizard automatically.
In Opera they still have a height of about two lines, in IE the have a small inactive scrollbar on the right.
Anyone knows how to fix that?

Sebastian,
If you want a height of just "1", then I recommend switching from a Textarea to a Text Box - which has a fixed height of "1" and should render the same in most browsers.
Thanks,

Multi Row Text Item (Not Text Area)

Is it possible to create a multi-row text item for entering data i.e. a text area WITHOUT a scrollbar?. I know exactly how many rows I need e.g. an address field
The scroll bar looks terrible on printouts when printing off data entry forms.
Also any way of having ruled lines appear in the multi row text field?
regards
Paul

Hello,
No, just use three text items. or a textarea with the style ="overflow:hidden;" should supress the scrollbar

Synchronize scrolling of two text items.

Forms 10g
I have two multiline text items with vertical scrollbars, and I need to keep the information contained in them aligned.
Is there a way to scroll two multiline text items with one scrollbar?

You could create a separate stacked canvas (with a large vertical size), place the two textitems (also very large in vertical) on that stacked canvas and use the scrollbar of the stacked canves to scroll both. Only disadvantage: You have to have a "maximum" vertical size

How to populate sequence in a text item in a form

I have a text item in a form.I want that the doc_id i.e the text item should be automatically populated with the help of sequence.I have created sequence named seq_doc_id.on which trigger i should write the code so that everytime the doc_id gets incremented by one. What should be the code.Can anyone gv me some hint.Do i have to use the loop for this?Please help

Hi,
I implemented a when-new-block-instance that does just that,
however due to navigation problems the trigger fires when it should not

Is there a system variable status to check with an If test
to make sure the sequence is called only at inserting time?

Updating a value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change

Hi,
I need to change the value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change to another item's value in the same block.
Suppose there's a text item in a multi record block called dt1 which is of type date, which is changed in a particular record. I want to change the values of the another item in the same multi record block, for all other records by running a loop through all the records in multi record block. I dont want to do it on the press of a button, it should do automatically on change. Help me resolve this issue.

Multiple values from database on a single text item

i am trying to do the following
on a single text item in a form
(under form property pallete->records->number of items displayed is 5) run a triger "when-new-block-instance" with the following pl/sql statement
declare
menu_item VARCHAR2(35);
begin
select label into menu_item
from menu_options;
end;
however, once i run the form it gives me
WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger raised unhandeled exception ORA-01422
however, if in the pl/sql statement contains only
begin
execute querry;
end;
then it works fine
The problem i beleive is the fact that the first querry retreives multiple values or recordset instead of A record.
How can i go arond this and allow the form to list all the values in this form. Eventually i will need to add conditional SQL statments and that is why just execute querry will not work.
Also, is there a way to dynamically assign a number to "number of records shown" property?
All help is very much appreciated!

Hi, Marko
I teach Forms, and I usually find a bad idea to use SQL statements directly (in particular when you can "make" Forms to do what you want).
Inside PL/SQL, a SELECT..INTO statement is supposed to select a single row, otherwise an error occurs.
EXECUTE_QUERY works.
If by "conditional SQL statements" you mean restricted (filtered) queries, you don't need to write SQL to do this.
You can set the DEFAULT_WHERE block property to a different value before using EXECUTE_QUERY, like:
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('your_block', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'where menu_id > 100');
And the answer to your second question is no, you cannot dynamically change the number of records a block is displaying.
You can limit the number of records your block queries from the database table using Maximum Records Fetched block property (available in Forms 6 and above, not sure about Forms 5). However, this will only work as expected if you set Query All Records to Yes.
Hope this helps,
Pedro

Text items not being refreshed by LOV items.

Hi all,
I've got a strange LOV behavior problems which I cannot solve and require your valuable time and efforts.
I've created a simple ADF JSF pages with 3 fields and the first field is LOV enabled. For all new row, after clicking the LOV icon, the LOV will show up and after selecting a particular value, it closes the LOV screen and replace it with a new row with the selected LOV data. It is all working well for all new rows just like a normal LOV should perform.
But I had problem with existing data. The row which I selected from the LOV somehow cannot referesh and overwrite any existing row (visually) but after commiting the data, it was actually written and refreshed with the correct data. Is there a property in the JHeadstart Application Definition Editor where I enforce the text items to be refreshed by the LOV items?
Thank you for your time and efforts.
Kind Regards,
John

Hi Guys,
I've performed the following scenarios attempting to refreshed Text items by the LOV Items.
Scenario 1: Create a new column called some_key load unique number into it. Set this column as the primay key and deselect existing primary keys as key attributes. Also, I've created a sequence and some_key is of type of DBSequence getting value from the new sequence starting from 1.
After generation when run and the result is:
JBO-27022: Failed to load value at index 11 with java object of type oracle.jbo.domain.DBSequence due to java.sql.SQLException.
## Detail 0 ##java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
Scenario 2: Create a unique index for the some_key column, rerun and the result is:
JBO-27022: Failed to load value at index 11 with java object of type oracle.jbo.domain.DBSequence due to java.sql.SQLException.
## Detail 0 ##java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
Scenario 3: Set some_key as number instead of DBSequence (from Entity Object Editor), rerun and the result is:
JBO-27021: Failed to load CustomDatum value at index 11 with java object of type oracle.jbo.domain.Number due to java.sql.SQLException.
## Detail 0 ##java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column index
Scenario 4: Deattach the offending View Object from the Application Module. Remove the offending view link and view object. Recreate view object and view link. Reset some_key is of type of DBSequence getting value from the new sequence starting from 1 (From the Entity Object Editor). After generation when run and result is:
SUCCESSFULLY!!
So, I guess the bottom line is here are the following things which you need to perform in order to enable text item to be refreshed by LOV item (if the detail table has composite primary keys)
1.) Create a new column
2.) Load unique value to it
3.) Create unique index for it
4.) Create entity object, view object and view link object.
5.) Set the new column as primary key.
6.) Deselect the key attributes for all composite primary key columns.

John

[CS4][JS] Accessing skewed text items

The following code snippet successfully finds all the skewed text in a
document and then removes the skew:
//Clear the find/change preferences.
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//Set the find options.
app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = false;
//Search the document for all the skewed text
app.findTextPreferences.skew = 1;
// now remove all skews
app.changeTextPreferences.skew = 0;
However, I want to access each fragment of skewed text rather than
globally change them.
How do I access the collection of skewed text items as the
findTextPreferences does not seem to possess the required properties.
TIA
Doug Neale

Hi Peter,
I tried this on a single page document with some text set in italics:
//Clear the find/change preferences.
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//Set the find options.
app.findChangeTextOptions.caseSensitive = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = false;
//Search the document for all the skewed text
app.findTextPreferences.skew = 1;
var myFound = app.activeDocument.findText();
if (myFound.length==0) {
alert("No skewed text was found");
else {
// ok we have some skewed text, now loop through each one
for (i =0; i < myFound.length; i++) {
var myTextObject = myFound[i];
var myText = myTextObject.Content;
and it always finishes up with the alert :-(
and debug confirmed that myFound.length was zero.
Should I be doing something else to find italic text?

Forms (V10G) - RunTime Text Item -- Editor

Hello:
What are the available options to enhance forms runtime SYSTEM/DEFAULT editor for Text Items? We like to add spell checker, text format features in to field editor.
I am sure there are Java based editors out there that Forms could invoke. I am hoping I am not the fist one with this requirement and someone may have done this. Perhaps could provide some input.

Chart and text items are not synchron

hi all,
i am a newbie in apex 4.0.
i have two regions. the first shows a chart, based on pl/sql-code. second shows text items for possible filter an the current statement of the chart.
when user clicks on a bar in the chart then
1. i set the the first text item as filter,
2. a pl/sql-code runs, build a sql statement, assign the sql statement string to the second text item and
3. returns the statement for the chart.
it works fine. the chart refresh. and the data i can see are correct.
but the text items in the other region doesn't refresh.
when i press "refresh"-button at browser level everything is fine. chart and text items fits together.
what can I do to refresh all regions when the chart changes the sql-statment / User clicks?
Is there any way to read out the current statement of a chart?
thx in advance

Bernd: the reason I asked about views is that you don't have any error messages. This might indicate that (a) you have no items in the view, or (b) there's something wrong with view-role-user assignment.
To check for (a), please go to the published procurement catalog, and go to Views tab. Check that your View is Active. Click on your View ID link to display view details. You should see a list of characteristics assigned to your view in Assign Characteristics sub-tab (the list should not be blank!). Go to Assign Items sub-tab. Navigate in your schema to find items that are supposed to be assigned to your view. You should see "Yes" in the "Assigned" column for those products. If you don't, then you simply don't have any items in your view.
Another thing I'd like you to check: when the user calls your procurement catalog for search, do you see the name of the catalog displayed just below the drop-down "Select Categories Hierarchically"?

Serguei
