Select item "sent to back"
I am trying to select an item that I have sent to the back. I can't select it no matter how hard I try. I am working from a blank template. What am I doing wrong?
The deal is I have students creating a calendar and they are creating a background my using a square and coloring it and sending it to the back. But then if they want to change it they are unable to select it.
Is there an easier way?
Every page in Pages has a default text box on it -- you can see if you go to the View menu and choose "Show Layout". When you create a item and then send it to back, you send it behind the level of this text box, which makes it difficult to select again since the default box is in front of it.
This isn't a real problem if the graphic extends outside the default text box -- just click on the portion outside the box, and it should be selected. However, if it is completely covered by the text box, then there are a few other solutions.
One solution is to Select All from the Edit menu, which will highlight all the objects on the page, then choose Bring to Front, which will bring the background object in front of the text. Here it can be worked on, and then sent back when finished. (Note that for Select All to work properly, your insertion point can't be in the text box, or the command will select all the text in that box. Also note that if the background graphic does not have text wrap turned off, it may move the text around when brought to front, but this should rectify when sent back.) The downside of this approach is that it will bring all elements to front, which isn't great if you have other layered elements.
The other solution is a bit of a kludge, but it works -- first bring the background graphic to front as specified above. Then, create a box shape, and move it outside the margin of the default box. Select this box and the background graphic, and group them together. Now you can send this grouped graphic to back, and whenever you need to access it, simply click on the box, and move the grouped item forward and ungroup it. This will preserve the rest of the layering, and only change the level of the background graphic. When finished editing, group the items again and send to back. When the entire project is done, select the grouped items, ungroup, and delete the now-unneeded box.

... you could write something like this in your backing bean:
Integer vClbId = (Integer)EL.get("#{row.ClbId}");(Make sure to cast it to the correct type.)

Cannot select object sent to back
If I make a rectangular, fixed object, select it, and choose Send Backward or Send to Back, I can no longer select it.
Is there something I'm not understanding about how to re-select that object?
-MichaelHello Michael,
as I know this is not documented in the Pages manual. I haven't read the manual (nor version 1 neither version 2) in it's entirety, and I think this is such kind of "feature" the developers are thinking of as a must known one. But in my opinion this counts only for users with experiences in (most) vector image editing and not for the casual/normal user who is just discovering the Pages universe.
But, as I use to write in such situations, for this kind of questions and other problems this wonderful discussion board exists -

How to get selected items from a tree in backing bean without adfbc
Hi ADF Experts,
Below is my code for af:tree. My question is how can I get selected Items from the selectionListener (without adf bc) this uses formation of tree from backing bean.
Using Jdev 11.1.1.7.0
<af:tree var="node" value="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.model}"
binding="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.treeModel}" id="tree" immediate="true" autoHeightRows="0"
styleClass="AFStretchWidth" rowSelection="multiple"
selectionListener="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.treeNodeSelection}">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandLink text="#{node.classDescription}"
actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.MerchandizeBean.createListManyItemForMerchandise}" id="displayTable" partialSubmit="true">
</af:commandLink>
</f:facet>
</af:tree>
public void treeNodeSelection(SelectionEvent selectionEvent) {
// Add event code here...
RichTree tree = (RichTree)selectionEvent.getSource();
TreeModel model = (TreeModel)tree.getValue();
//get selected value
Thanks
RoyHi,
in a multi select case, try
RowKeySet rks = tree.getSelectedRowKeys();
Iterator iter = rks.iterator();
while(iterator.hasNext()){
Object aKey = iterator.next();
tree. setRowKey(aKey);
Object rowData ? tree.getRowData();
.... do something with the data here ...

Already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail
already sent items keeps coming back as sent items in Mail
These are probably not sent from your account. The spammer has just ''borrowed ''your email address and is using it as the return address of the junk they are sending. If they were coming from your account they would be in the Sent folder.
They have your address. There is not much you can do about it now. They will get bored with you and move on soon.
Google '''email backscatter''' to learn more about what is going on.
FYI: People posting email addresses in an open forum like you did in your example is exactly how spammers get their victims. That is not a very good idea if you want to protect your personal info.
I suggest that you edit your post and remove your example. It is of no help and does more harm than good. -
How to select a text frame that has been "Sent to Back"?
Hi Framers,
In FM 7.2 (all patches up to date, running on Windows XP Pro), I added a note inside a text frame next to an anchored frame holding an image. I nudged the text frame close to the image but it blocked out a tiny portion of the image. So I selected the text frame and from the Graphics menu clicked Send to Back. Solved that problem, of course. Now I want to change the wording in the note but can't do it because the entire text frame has been sent to back -- how can I select it to Bring to Front so I can edit its contents???
This MUST be something totally obvious, right? Can I plead pre-holiday brain freeze?
TIA,

Hello again, Sheila ;~)
I selected all and moved my cursor all around the page (around various pages, actually, since Ctrl+A selects the entire chapter), and I see what you mean by the color of the arrow's head changing between black and white. Is it significant that the ONLY time it's black is when I'm outside the frame of the page itself? (That is, in the white, non-editable space around the actual frame borders on the page.) Clicking anywhere, whether inside or outside the active area, deselects everything.
HOLD THE PRESSES! Even though I *knew* I hadn't grouped my text frame with anything else, after reading your suggestion, I selected the page frame to make sure I hadn't somehow grouped it with my text frame: I hadn't -- but then, on a hunch, I sent IT (the page frame) to the back -- now I can select the text frame!
I'm marking your response as answering my question and I'm also going to try to mark Peter's the same way, because each of you in your own way, helped me resolve this problem.
Thank you both and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! (Gee, and I didn't get either of you anything... maybe next year ;~))

Hi, Gay:
The "I-Beam" pointer tool is called the Smart Pointer, because it changes to an I-beam when it's over text, and to the Graphics Pointer tool when over a graphic, or part of a graphic, or when you press Ctrl. It's easy to select the main text frame when you Ctrl+click on its interior text area inadvertently, when you're trying to select an anchored frame edge, or when you use Ctrl+A to select all. It's frustrating to have some of these unintended events happen when you're not expecting them. Always work with View > Borders ON, to display the edges of objects and reduce confusion, and always watch where you click. You can zoom iin to large magnification to see things better.
HTH

Peter

This bug was removed from updated CS5.5, and it is back in it's extreme annoyance in CS6.
Whenever I select in the library a symbol, which contains textfields who's font is set to a custom font (i.e., Text-Project, linked to Verdana), for EACH of the textfields in the selected item, and in all containing items, the output window traces:
"Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts."
On certain items, it gets traced 20 or 30 times, and it slows down library selection incredibly, making the library almost unusable.No,
I just select an item in the library, which contains textfields with custom font set (that is when you name a font yourself).
Flash freezes, for some complex items it freezes up to 60 seconds, and when it comes back, in the output window you have one message for each textfield, also in nested clips.
For complex clips now I go to make a cup of coffee if by mistake I click on them in the library -
When I go into my mail and select the sent item tab it boots be out. Without letting me view my sent email
Another easy thing to try is to quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Getting selected item from combobox itemrenderer and storing in object
Hi Guys,
Can anyone help me in this regard. Its very urgent.
I have a combo box itemrenderer in datagrid column. I want to get the user selected item from the dropdown of the row(s) (User may select values from combo box from multiple rows of datagrid) and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows and store it in an object . Then pass this object to database to update only those rows that user has changed.
I am able to get the selected item from combo box using "event.currentTarget.selectedItem" and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows using "valueSelect.ID", etc where valueSelect is object which contains data for datagrid. But am stuck up with, how to store the selected item value of the combobox and corressponding values of all other columns of the rows into an Object ?.
Can anybody help me with sample to store selected item from combobox and its corressponding values of all other columns into an object which i can send to db...?
Kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Anand.Hi!
Are you using a collection of VO or DTO as the dataprovider of the combobox component?
If so, have you created some attribute there to control the user's selection in the combobox?
For instance:
private var selected:Boolean = false;
If your solution fits this approach, you may create a new collection that contains just the objects that were selected by the user, it means you can loop through the datagrid's dataprovider and only insert in this new collection those objects that have the attribute "selected" set to true.
For instance:
private function getSelectedRecords(datagridDataProvider:ArrayCollection):ArrayCollection
var newCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
for each (var item:Object in datagridDataProvider)
if (item.selected)
newCollection.addItem(item)
return newCollection;
Afterwards, you may serialize this new collection with your back-end.
Hope it helps you!
Cheers,

How i can set the selected item of a dropDown component from java code
Hi
Thank you for reading my post
How i can set the slected item of a DropDown component from backing beans java code ?
it is binded with a database , so one field determine its display and one other field determine its value , I want to set the selected item of this combobox
In back code i have both value and display values to use them .
can some one give me some help ?
Thanks ,See code sample 3 at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
See also, the selection components row in the table under http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/helloweb.html
It says
One way to preselect items is to call setSelectedValue(Object[]) or setSelectedValue(Object) from the prerender() method. You pass in the return values of the items that you want preselected. Be sure to verify that getSelected() returns null before setting the default options, or you will overwrite the user's selections on a post-back. -
Bug (possibly?): SelectManyShuttle fails to display selected items
Bug (possibly?): SelectManyShuttle fails to display selected items when valuePassThru="true" in ADF 10g
Hello all,
When run, the example below shows a Select Many Shuttle with four choices in the leading list. When items are shuttled to the training list and the page is submitted the trailing list is rendered with no items selected. Is this a bug?
Configuration
This example was constructed using jDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0.
A new application was created using the Web Application [JSF, ADF BC] template although no business components are used.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Create the following backing bean class.
package com.fmcna.adf.test.view;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import javax.faces.model.SelectItem;
public class ShuttleBean {
public ShuttleBean() {
private List availableItems;
private List selectedItems;
public void setAvailableItems(List availableItems) {
this.availableItems = availableItems;
public List getAvailableItems() {
//populate with a List of SelectItem instances on the inital call to this method
if(this.availableItems==null) {
this.availableItems=generateSelectItemsList();
return availableItems;
public void setSelectedItems(List selectedItems) {
this.selectedItems = selectedItems;
public List getSelectedItems() {
return selectedItems;
* Build a List of SelectItem instances to be used by an af:selectManyShuttle
* @return A List containing SelectItems instances
private List generateSelectItemsList() {
List initialItems = new ArrayList();
initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(11),"First Choice"));
initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(22),"Second Choice"));
initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(33),"Third Choice"));
initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(44),"Fourth Choice"));
return initialItems;
}2. Configure the ShuttleBean class as a session scoped managed bean as in the following faces-config.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">
<faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/JSF/Configuration">
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>ShuttleBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>com.fmcna.adf.test.view.ShuttleBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<application>
<default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.core</default-render-kit-id>
</application>
</faces-config>3. Create a JSP page containing an af:selectManyShuttle with a nested f:selectItems component. Wire the values for these components to the properties in the managed bean.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces" prefix="af"%>
<f:view>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
<title>testShuttle</title>
</head>
<body><h:form>
<af:selectManyShuttle value="#{ShuttleBean.selectedItems}" valuePassThru="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{ShuttleBean.availableItems}"/>
</af:selectManyShuttle>
<af:commandLink text="Postback"/>
</h:form></body>
</html>
</f:view>4. Run the JSP. Validate that the trailing list is initially empty.
5. Shuttle one or more items to the trailing list and click the Postback button. Validate that when the page refreshes the trailing list is again empty.
Thanks for any input you might be able to provide.

Edited by: user5384858 on Jun 14, 2010 1:06 PMI'm holding my Nano in my hot little hands with ALL of the things you listed, but here's the sad, simple truth: you CAN'T use iTunes to sync everything. It works well for:
1) Music
2) Videos (except sometimes in Vista)
3) Photos (as long as they're not too large)
but is terrible for:
1) calendar
2) contacts
3) To-Do lists
For the latter use something like "iGadget" (www.ipodsoft.com). I also edit/store notes w/iGadget plus it allows you to export files, etc.
I gave up on syncing iTunes w/Outlook long ago. Good luck. -
Migo cannot be done " PO does not contain any selectable items"
Dear SAP Gurus
We have a very urgent issue, while trying to do MIGO for a particular standard PO.
Some down payments have been done to this PO already and now when we try to do the MIGO, system is giving the error "PO does not contain any selectable items"
The accounting document which is created when the down payment is done can be seen in the purchase order History.
Please suggest soem solution
Thanks
kkHi Kavitha,
Please check whether all the po item quantities are received. If any open line items are there then go to item detail po tab in that Select Confirmation Tab and Check whether the confirmation is Z001. Change it to 0001 etc and save.
Try this, if unresolved revert back.

Could not find selected item matching value "New" warning message in ADF
Hi,
I have a selectOneChoice1 for a field which has the following fixed values in it. And while creating it, I selected the 'SelctionRequired' option so that this field will always have a value.
New
Pending
Completed.
While navigating to this page, I am trying to set the value to 'New' (Retrieved from the DB) in the backing bean. But when the page is rendered, the above field is empty with the above options in the list and jdev has the follwing error message in its log.
WARNING: Could not find selected item matching value "New" in CoreSelectOneChoice[UIXEditableFacesBeanImpl, id=selectOneChoice1]
Can any one help me with this issue?
Thanks,
PriyaThe value of a list binding is the zero-based integer position in the list that is selected, not the actual underlying value.
The simplest way to set the value of an attribute is to use an attribute binding (which can be bound to the same attribute as the list binding). When you set the value of an attribute binding, it sets the value as you supply it. Otherwise, you'd need to set the list binding's value to the numerical "slot" number of the one you want to change the value to.
