Select list with multiple columns

I want to create a select list with multiple column option. What are the options. Any developments in apex 3.0.1 ? Thanks in advance. I tried the tutorials by Kubicek.
I am kind of stuck to see the function entry inside LOV definition returns a error.

Still really one column.
If they need to be independent then you've got to have three selection lists.

Creating Select List with multiple columns

I want to create a select list with multiple columns. I followed the demo application model described in the by Denes Kubicek (Currently my reference for APEX !!)
The code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getcrops(p_cropid IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
v_cropid VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fcode VARCHAR2 (400);
v_product VARCHAR2 (400);
v_var VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fname VARCHAR2 (400);
v_acres VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_start VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_end VARCHAR2 (400);
v_return VARCHAR2 (400);
BEGIN
FOR c IN (select "CROP"."CROPID" as "CROP ID",
     "CROP"."FIELDCODE" as "FIELD CODE",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTNAME" as "PRODUCT",
     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" as "VARIETY",
     "FIELD"."FIELDNAME" as "FIELD NAME",
     "CROP"."SIZEINACRES" as "ACRES"
from     "FIELD" "FIELD",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST" "CARROTPRODUCTLIST",
     "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
     "CROP" "CROP"
where "CROP"."CARROTPRODUCTTYPE"="CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTID"
and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID")
LOOP
v_cropid := TO_CHAR (c.'CROP ID', 'FML999G999G999G999G990');
v_fcode := c.'FIELD CODE';
v_product := c.'PRODUCT';
v_var := c.'VARIETY';
v_fname :=c.'FIELD NAME';
v_acres :=c.'ACRES';
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c."CROP ID")
LOOP
v_cropid := v_cropid || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD CODE')
LOOP
v_fcode := v_fcode || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'PRODUCT')
LOOP
v_product := v_product || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'VARIETY')
LOOP
v_var := v_var || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD NAME')
LOOP
v_fname := v_fname || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'ACRES')
LOOP
v_acres := v_acres || ' ';
END LOOP;
v_return := v_cropid || v_fcode || v_product || v_var || v_fname || v_acres;
END LOOP;
RETURN v_return;
END;
I created this anonymous Pl/SQL function at a application level ..Then I followed up to create a select list with a function inside. However I could not create select list with the command suggested in the demo which is
select getcrops(cropid) d, cropid r from crop;
APEX (2.1) returns a error message. What am I missing ? Should the function be called from somewhere else after creating a regular select list..? Where the functions (Pl/SQL) should be ideally stored for application level access..? and for across application level access ? How can I check the function works good. Help is appreciated.

List with multiple column

hello all ,
how to create a list with multiple columns ? can anyone share some examples or code snippets

What I would usually do is create a movieclip/sprite that contains a row with every column in it (each column being a textfield). Then pile up the rows one atop the other (using Actionscript) as they are populated with data.

Popup List with multiple columns but returning a single column (key value)

Hi,
1. Is it not possible to show a POPup (returning a key value) or Select list with more than 1 column? If so how?
2. I have an item in a page which should be hidden if 1 particular button was pressed. This is is to use the same page but have some behavioural change based on which button (option) was selected. How can I get the name of the BUTTON PRESSED TO INVOKE THIS PAGE.
thanks
SebJos

Hi,
In that case, you should make the page item conditional. There are many techniques to do this but it would depend on what the button is for.
As a simple example...
1 - Create a hidden item on your page called, say, Pn_SHOW (replace n with your page number - eg, P1_SHOW). Set the default value of this item to either 0 (zero) or 1 - 0 will hide the item and 1 will display it, so in your example, set it to 0
2 - On the page item you want to show/hide - on its definition, you have a Conditions section. Set the following:
Condition Type: Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2
Expression 1: P1_SHOW
Expression 2: 1
When the page is loaded, because the value of P1_SHOW is 0, and due to the conditions we have just set (where P1_SHOW must be 1 for the item to be shown), the item will not appear on the page.
When you created your button, a new page branch should have been created. On this branch, you have two settings - "Set these items" and "With these values". Set the following:
Set these items: P1_SHOW
With these values: 0
You should also have at least one other branch on your page - one of these will need to set the value of P1_SHOW to 1 to get the item to display.

One select list with multiple LOV's (LOV based on how page was called)

APEX 4.0.2
I've a DML form page from a report on which I need a single select list item to have a differing LOV based on how the form page was called.
The calling page (report), contains an edit link column and a create button. Depending on which is selected, I wish the LOV for my select list item to change. The idea behind this is that if someone creates a new entry, I want to constrain the select list to a subset of rows of a table query populating the LOV. On the other hand, if an existing item is edited, I want the select list LOV containing all rows of a table query populating the LOV.
What I've tried...
- Duplicates of select list item each triggered to render based on an arbitrary value set when either "create" or "edit" are selected. This did not work because the item was part of DML and would not allow replication on the same page.
- Logic in the LOV sql statement controlling which sql was to be run based on an arbitrary value set when either "create" or "edit" are selected. This did not work as logic is not allowed in LOV sql statements.
Any thoughts? Many Thanks!
Paul

Hello Patrick!
Thanks for responding - Love your captcha plugin!
Anyway, these are the two dynamic LOV's. The first I have in play right now (when creating new records). I need to have the other for existing record modifications.
LOV #1
select stock_no d, stock_no r
from   [email protected]
where status like '%Awaiting Transfer%'
or     status like '%On Hold%'
order by 1LOV #2
select stock_no d, stock_no r
from   [email protected]
order by 1As I mentioned, I attempted to use plsql logic in the query to trigger one or the other based on a value set when the user either clicked an edit link or a create button but couldn't get the dynamic LOV to commit with that extra code in it.
Thanks!
Paul

How to select value from list with multiple selections ?

HI,
i have a list with multiple selections where i show email address retrieved from database.
what i want to do is to send the selected email address to the invoiceedit.jsp.
please look at the following code which gives you the better idea.
<td class='smalltext'><select name="email" size="3" multiple="multiple">
   <%
   Connection conn = null;
   Statement stmt = null;
   Statement stmt_contactperson = null;
   Statement stmt_address = null;
   try{
      conn = getREConnection();
       stmt = conn.createStatement();
   ResultSet rs = null;
   rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT PROPERTYID, VALUE FROM PROPERTIES WHERE ENTITYID="+ g_strGroupID+" AND NAME = 'invoice_default_email'");
   int numofrows = 0;
   while(rs.next())
           %>
   <option value="<%= rs.getString("VALUE") %>" selected="selected"> <%= rs.getString("VALUE") %> </option>
    <%
       }//end of while
      %>
     </select>
    <a href="invoiceedit.jsp?entityid=<%=g_strGroupID%>&add=1"><font color="#000000">Add</font></a>
     <a href="invoiceedit.jsp?entityid=<%=g_strGroupID%>&email_to="><font color="#000000"> Edit</font></a> </td>thanks

Use a form button instead of a link so that you can send it as a request parameter to the server. In the server side just use HttpServletRequest#getParameterValues() to obtain all values for the given parameter name. If you really need a link rather than a button, then use Javascript to submit the form on click of the link.
That said, your design is bad. Java code belongs in Java classes, not in JSP files. Database access logic belongs in a DAO class. Business and controlling logic belongs in a Servlet class. Only presentation logic belongs in the JSP file. Avoid scriptlets as much as possible and use JSP EL and/or JSTL instead.

Selectively Format Groups with Multiple Columns

I have a bit of an obscure task I've been trying to hammer out to no avail. I've searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone else who has attempted this. I have two group by statements, one is a category and the other is a rank. What I'm trying to do is organize the report so that there are category rows and below each category row is a set of columns for each rank with their associated values as such:
category1
rank1     rank2     rank3     rank4
value1   value1    value1   value1
value2   value2    value2   value2
category2
rank1     rank2     rank3
value1   value1    value1
value2   value2    value2
I've tried using details>Section Expert>>Layout>Format Groups with multiple column. Unfortunately, this applies to both groups putting the categories into columns instead of rows, making a mess. Does anyone know of a way to selectively put groups into columns and ensure alignment? In the above example the user would be able to compare rank values from multiple categories since they all line up. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried using a crosstab? Give this a shot:
1) Group the report on Category
2) Create a new group header section. Group Header b
3) Place a crosstab in this section
4) The columns would be the Rank field, I'm not sure about what you would like to show in the rows
5) The summarized field would be the Value field ofcourse
Let me know how this goes.

Select List with Submit - Branch Error - form data does not save

I am a new APEX user so please excuse my ignorance. I have created a simple application in which a primary data entry form branches either to a detail form (one to many on the parent ID) or a master tabular report used for navigation. These branches work fine. Then I tried to get a little fancy with a conditionally displayed element based on the value the user selects in a select list on the main form(P9_REPORT_TYPE). I converted the select list to a select list with submit and created a new branch (on submit - after processing) to the current page (Page 9) to avoid the "no branch found" error. To avoid the branch being unconditional, I tried to use the 'Request = Expression1' condition with the Expression 1 field set to P9_REPORT_TYPE. The behavior I get is that the page seems to submit but the data on the form is not saved -- even the new value selected in P9_REPORT_TYPE reverts to the old value. I simply need the page data to submit so that the conditionally displayed element will take effect (which it does if you use one of the other button-based branches and then return to the form). Do I have the syntax wrong? It seems like this should be straightforward but I've tried a number of options including using a PL/SQL condition V('REQUEST')='P9_REPORT_TYPE' with no success. I'm guessing that the value of Request is getting cleared before it has a chance to trigger the branch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly so! Thanks Scott for setting me straight. For the benefit of other readers, the value in the Source Used column had been set to "Always, replacing any existing value in session state" and should have been set to "Only when current value in session state is null".

Using select list value as column name in SQL

Folks,
Thanks in advance for any help with this
I have a select list with two values (Instance and Username) created by
STATIC2:Username;USERNAME,Instance;INSTANCE
I am trying to pass the value of this (:P2_SELECT) and use it as a column name in a SQL query as below
select USERNAME,
INSTANCE
from table_name
where :P2_SELECT like '%'||:P2_TEXTSEARCH||'%'
When I substitue the :P2_SELECT for one of the values (either instance or username) this works fine
I suspect it is due to how Application Express interprets the value of :P2_SELECT
Any help would be much appreciated!
Gareth

Thanks Munky that worked a treat!
The next hurdle I have now is that because I have changed the region type to "PL/SQL Function(returning SQL Query)" there is no longer the option to add sorting to the columns as I have had to change the Source option to "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)"
I will have a scout around and see how I can get around this

Can we have the 'select list with submit' type within a tabular form?

An item can be the "Select list with submit' type so a form has no problem with it. However, when I built a tabular form manually, I couldn't find this type. There are only three types avaiable: "named", "static", and "dynamic".
Is it possible to have the "submit" type so columns of the tabular form can be dynamically rendered based on the user inputs?
Another question I have is how to dynamically build the tabular form with decode func. For example, if the value of col_1 is 'val_1', then build a select list in col_2; otherwise null in col_2.
I tried to use
select col1,
decode (col1, 'val_1', select htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov(2, first, 'lov1') from dual, null)
from....
where....
But it didn't work.
I'd like to know whether it's feasible to have something like that.
TIA.

You could use a region of type PL/SQL function
returning SQL query to dynamically build this kind of
tabular form. However if you want to use the built-in
multi-row insert, update and delete processes, all
items in a column must have the same display type. Marc, thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
I got your idea. However, I need to have the javascript 'ToggleAll' as the heading so the form works as same as the built-in one. If I put the query definition into a pl/sql procedure, where I can put this html tab attribute? It can not be inside the checkbox function, otherwise the checkbox of any row would act as same as the header.
I hope I've made this clear.
To Vikas: It's our clients who want this, not us. :(

Associating a process with a 'select list with submit'

Hi,
In a tabular form I have 2 'select list with submit'. If a row is selected in the tabular form I need the following functionality from each of the select lists:
Once a value is selected from the list a process will get excuted which will update a column of the checked row in the database table with the selected value from the list.
My question is,
1. How can I associate an 'after submit process' with the 'select list with submit'?
2. Can I store the selected value in a variable which I can pass as an input parameter to a PL/SQL body?
Regards,
AM

Hi,
Please see my requirement below.
I have a 'select list with submit' say P1_Select in a Tabular form Page. I want to create an after submit process (PL/SQL Process) which will take the selected value from the select list as input parameter and perform an update function for the checked row with that value.
I'm trying give a feel the procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure "P_REJECT"
(p_message IN VARCHAR2 default Null)
is
begin
FOR ii IN 1 .. APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
LOOP
UPDATE NI SET NI.STATUS_NI = 'WCONF', NI.NI_Message = p_MESSAGE
WHERE NI.NI_REF = APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(ii));
END LOOP;
end;
As suggested by Flavio I created the conditional 'after submit' process where I'm making a call to the above procedure.
1. I am not sure how to pass the selected value as a parameter to the proc.
2. 'request = value, where the value is the string literal P1_SELECT'.... Could not really figure out the meaning of string literal P1_SELECT
Regards,
AM

Update select list with dynamic LOV

How exactly do you do this?
Currently I have a text field which the user may enter a product type and a button when click. It would populate the select list with the product names that associate with that product type...
My lov would retrieve the product type value text field(:P1_t_prod_type) and get products names by type
select t_prod_name A , t_prod_name B
from t_prod_items
where t_prod_type = :P1_t_prod_type
order by 1Im kind of stump on is setting up my dynamic action to "set value" to the select list. As nothing seems to be appearing.

product type is a numeric value that can be a wide numeric range. (I don't know why the column is named like that. Sorry for forgetting to mention that)
Well I don't think i should submit the page? because after the list box is filled with product names. the user can then select one of those names from the list box and continue completing the rest of the form. After all that the page would then be submited. (Well that's how i imagine it to work...)
Wouldn't i run into problems if i were to submit the page twice... like lost entry in other text fields if the user were to skip that part at the start.
