Setting default values from a configuration file...how_to

Hi,
When we place controls in the front panel VI, there are default values
that we can set during design time. Is it possible to load up a VI and
read those default values from a file? I guess the point is that I want
to be able to store different control settings for different users with
one VI. Maybe possibly use the File I/O VI's to load up default control
values that way. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Steven

After trying many various ways of storing configuration data, the way I use
the most is to set up a "configuration global", a global that consists of
basically a single cluster into which I place anything about the application
that I want to configure and store. I usually include the application's path,
DASQ settings, a
nd user preferences. You can then read/write this cluster
anytime during your test session. You can provide user access to specific
portions of the global through a tabbed dialog box and allow multiple records
in your config file which can be accessed at any time.

  • Plsss help me: how to set default values in html:file and html:radio

    Hai,
    To set default value to text box i use the following code. It works well.
    <html:text property="modifyserverdesc" value="<%= serverDesc%>" styleClass="text" size="38"/>But for file i use the code
    <html:file styleClass="file" property="modifyserverimgfile" value="<%= serverImage%>" size="40"/>It doesn't display value. What is problem here?
    how to set default selection in <html:radio>.

    No it won't help.
    You can't set a value into an <input type="file"> control at all. The user has to put values in themselves.
    The reason behind this is security. If the programmer could put any value they liked in there, you could upload any file at all from a users computer without their intervention. eg C:\windows\system32\passwords.txt
    Bottom line: you can't put a default value into the input type="file" control.
    And a good thing too ;-)

  • How to set default value of VO from pageflowscope variable

    Hi All,
    I have a page for creating new records and when the user clicks on the create button I show a pop up window for creating the new record.
    I would like to default few values when the page pops up.I have these default values in pageflowscope variables at this point of time.
    I guess I might have to override the create method of the VO row impl and set the default values.But How do I access the pageflow scope variables in the VOROwImpl.
    Please let me know.
    If this isnt the best way of doing it, please suggest alternative best practice.Thank you!
    Thanks,

    Have a method in AMImpl which would take the list of attributes along with the values (that are to be defaulted).
    In this method, create & insert a new row and set the default values from the input parameters.
    Expose this method thru client interface so that it is exposed as part of data control.
    In the View/UI layer, to create a new row, call this AM method thru the data control with the list of page flow scope variables that you have currently.

  • How can we set default value within html:file

    Hai,
    To set default value to text box i use the following code. It works well.

    Hi,
    guess that one option in a RowImpl would be to check if the attribute is null or if the attribute value can be found in the VO that populates the list. If first is true or seconds false (cannot be found) you return the first value of the VO, making it the current attribute value

  • Dump in user exist CC01 to set default value to valid from date

    Dear friends,
    Task is to set default value to valid from date field in Transaction "CC01".
    In INCLUDE ZXCCAU01 of Function 'EXIT_SAPMC29C_001' in Enhancement 'PCCD0001' I written the code like this
    DATA var LIKE sy-datum.
    var = var + 1.
    which is not related to program by creating project and activated the project.
    When I run cc01 it is giving dump.
    Error is :
    Program "SAPLXCCA" tried to use screen 1000.
    The screen does not exist.
    Can some one guide me What is the problem and How to resolve this.
    If not, Is there any other method this can be done.
    Regards,
    Venkat

    Hi venkat,
    DATA var LIKE sy-datum.
    var = var + 1.
    the code u written i guess not ok.The code used by kishan is correct. i.e
    DATA var LIKE sy-datum.
    sy-datum = sy-datum + 1.
    var =  sy-datum.
    write var.
    use the above code.
    SAPLXCCA is a functionpool not a program.please check the same.

  • Set Default Value of Multi-select list item

    I have a multi-select list item I want to default the value of to '%' (which is really '%null%') and have it selected. I tried setting default value of item, but it doesn't take '%null%'. I also tried a computation with a static of
    :P507_ITEM := '%null%'; How do you get the default value set and selected?

    Hi
    Shijesh is right, you need to change your null return value and use that return value as your default. Try and use something of the same datatype as your real return values if you plan to use '%' to display all as it will make your queries simpler. eg.
    Company A returns 1
    Company B return 2
    % returns 0
    Then your query would be...
    SELECT ...
    FROM ...
    WHERE company_id = DECODE(:P_COMPANY,1,1,2,2,0,company_id)
    Hope this makes sense.
    Cheers

    // u can use the code wizard( control +f7) this code will be auto generated when u select the
    //radio button to read the context node
    DATA lo_nd_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
      DATA lo_el_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.

    * set single attribute
      lo_el_cn_node->set_attribute(

  • Setting Default values in portal form

    I have a portal Master/Detail Form. I want to set some of the detail block columns value to the value of a field in the master block.
    In the formattng option of the detail column, I tried setting default value to:
    p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'MASTER_BLOCK', p_attribute_name=>'A_CLASS_CD');
    and default value type to: function (I also tried expression). It compiles, but gives me an error when I ry running form. How can you set the default value (from the value of a differnt field)?

    HI,
    You can set the default value to value of a different field. The only way is to use javascript like onFocus.

  • Setting default value to columns on tabular form is not working.

    Hi,
    I created a tabular form and i want to set some default values to columns based on the values in page items.
    so i set the page item to column value in tabular form attributes by selecting the Default type as PLSQL Expression & Function DEFAULT value &P24_ISSUE_ID. it worked fine but
    in the similar way i tried for the another column by selecting the default type as pl/sql expression & function and default value &P24_CASE_NAME.
    but it throwing an error for this like failed to parse SQL query:    ORA-00904: "C254DB": invalid identifier
    i don't understand where i gone wrong even i checked for the data types of the columns, everything is fine.

    but it throwing an error for this like failed to parse SQL query: ORA-00904: "C254DB": invalid identifierWhat you are doing results in the APEX engine substituting the P24_CASE_NAME value "C254DB" into the default value and then trying to evaluate this string as a piece of PL/SQL. Outside of a block in which it is defined as a variable, constant or function "C254DB" is not a valid PL/SQL expression.

  • Extending flash: how do I set default values for filenames

    Hi,
    I am trying to set default values for filenames
    <choosefile> and <popupslider>s that will show up when
    my XMLpanel first loads in my jsfl extension file. It seems that I
    can only set default values for textbox items.
    How do I do this for filenames and popups?
    As a workaround, I also tried using a flash object dialog box
    to look like a <choosefile>, or any jsfl command, but then
    how do I return those values back to the XMLpanel that calls them.
    and pass the data back to my jsfl script.
    lemme know if you know a way,

    Create two constants for the Allocate Mode input (right click > create > constant). Place one in the true case of the case structure, and place the other one in the false case. Wire them to the same tunnel (border of the case structure), then wire the tunnel to the Allocate Mode terminal of the AO Config. I don't have Traditional DAQ installed, but that should do it.

  • How to set default value in transient boolean attribute in VO in ADF

    Hi ADF Experts,
    I have requirement like,I have viewObject with one transient booelan attribute,
    I want to set default value of that boolean attribute as "True"
    How can I achive that please help,
    Tried every thing but no luck.

    Hi,
    I am not sure what is the use of setting a default value for a transient attribute in a read-only VO.
    However, why not include that attribute with a default value in the query itself?
    Something like
    SELECT
         Empno, Ename, Deptno, 'true' as BooleanTransAttr
    FROM EMP
    and set the type of the attribute to Boolean?

    Hi Kishore,
                    you can set the lead selected value while adding the vales to drop down. let say u are getting the data from model node say "Test".
    use the below code in doinit method:
    int size = wdContext.nodeTest().size();
    for (int i-0;i<size;i++){
    ITestElement test = wdCOntext.nodeTest().getTestElement(i);
    ISelectedInfotypeElement element = wdContext.nodeSelectedInfotype().createSelectedInfotype();
    element.setKdsvh(test.getKcsvh());
    wdContext.nodeSelectedInfotype().addElement(element);
    if("Others".equals(test.getKdsvh())){
    wdContext.nodeSelectedInfotype().setleadSelection(element.index());
    Hope it helps
    Thanks and Regards

  • Set default value based on sql query?

    Hi,
    is it possible to set default value of an BC entity attribute by using sql expression?
    Eg. "select max(x)+1 from y where userid=?"
    Rgs
    Jernej

    Jernej,
    Yes, you can do this. Edit your entity object attribute, and in the Edit Attribute dialog select "Derived from SQL Expression". Then you can enter your expression in the Expression text box.

  • Set default value for product type

    I want to set default value in product type drop  down box
    in component PRD01QR.
    view  SearchHelp.
    I tried with setter and getter , but not working
    they are using query string.

    Hi,
    You can achieve this by redefining the method GET_VH_PRODUCT_TYPE() in IMPL class of searchHelp view. Just copy paste the implementation of this method from super class and now control the internal table as per your requirement like
    comment out the line       APPEND INITIAL LINE TO lt_ddlb. (line no: 47)
    as it will add an empty line at the starting of internal of product type values which you dont want. In you case there should be some default value for product type field, so arrange the inetrnal table values according to you requirement and what ever value you want to default for product type that should be the first value in the drop down without empty line and add an empty line at the end of the internal table.
    No need to call super->GET_VH_PRODUCT_TYPE() in your implementation as you have written all the required code in your implemenation itself.
    Hope this would help you!
    Regards,
    Ajay
