Setting focus after PPR in Adv. Table

Hi all,
I've seen some topics related with this question but in none of them I could find the answer. I have an Adv. Table which has PPR per line, in other words, Row1 has a MessageChoice with firePartialAction to enable or disable fields in the same Row. The PPR works fine, the problem is that after PPR the focus is tabbed out to somewhere else in the page. Is there a way to keep the focus on the same row and in the same field or move it to a specific field after PPR.
Thanks in advance,
Eduardo

Eduardo ,
What u said makes sense, but since previously to CU3 this profile option is not there, so, the thinking might be to show the consistent thing in new patch also, with a profile option to users, if they want tab out feature.
Anyways, thats' immaterial as ur problem is solved. :)

Input Text in a row of a table is not getting focused after PPR

Hi All,
I have a use case where the form will have a table and one of the columns will have inputtext and the other column will have outputtext. Once the user enters some data in inputtext and presses the down arrow, i am using autosubmit and valuechangelistener to call some method in bb which will show popup in the page. And after selecting some value from popup, i close the popup by setting the first row's outputtext with some data and wants to make the cursor focus to the next row's inputtext.
Its working without PPR, but when we use PPR to set the outputtext component, its failing the focus is getting lost. Any ideas would be helpful.

Set focus on cell in ATS Table

Hi Friends,
I try to set the focus on a field in a if_fpm_guibb_list.
I use Methode request_focus_on_cell in if_fpm_list_ats_ext_ctrl.
And I set lead Index to new line and set selected_line _changes to 'X'.
When I look in the table what contain the new position, it contains the Data for the new position.
But the cursor is not jumping to the Cell.
Is there something in addition what I have to do?
Thanks in advance
Joerg.

Hi Joerg,
I'm facing exactly the same problem. I want to set the focus to a cell in an FPM_LIST_UIBB and REQUEST_FOCUS_ON_CELL in method GET_DATA looked promising, but the cursor is not set to the field.
Only the lead index of the table is changed to the correct line if I set parameter CV_LEAD_INDEX in method GET_DATA.
Did you find a solution?
Thanks,
Karsten

Hi there, there's a constraint between flash player and web browsers so in order to gain focus in any object inside the flash player you must manually click inside the flash player instance.

ADF Question: Set focus in table after ppr

Hi all,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 with ADF and BC.
In my table I have two editable fields, itemCode and quantity.
When I hit enter in the itemCode, I execute a method in the backing bean, and the table is ppr refreshed.
After that, I want the focus to go to the next field, quantity.
I have tried following this example: http://www.bloggingaboutoracle.org/archives/focussing-conditionally-in-a-table-after-a-partial-page-refresh
However, the focusItem string never has the row index included. So the focus never gets set correctly.
Next I tried doing it via javascript, changing the focus after the event by adding a partial target to a script tag that sets the focus. However, the row index at this time is not what it was at the time of entering the itemCode.
It looks like the rowIndex (ie: form1:table1:rowIndex:quantity) is changing after the ppr event. At the beginning (when entering the item) it is 0, but after the ppr, it is 1 or 3 or something else...
How can I get this row id? OR how can I go about setting the focus to that next field (quantity) after the ppr?
Thanks,
Heather

Hi,
the row index should always be in synch with the underlying binding. So if you get the current rows position in the iterator then you know its index in the table

How to set focus on a textinput/poplist using PPR

HI,
Is it possible to use PPR to set focus on a Text input or Poplist.
if Yes, which attribute in the UI Item we need to use?
will the attribute 'Access Key' work for the same?
If PPR is not an option then getting a java bean for the UI Item is the only option?
Thanks,
Gowtam.

Gowtam,
No, the two basic differences between PPR and fire action!
1)Fire action submit the entire OA Page Form elements, while PPR only refreshes the form components of that particular region.
2)When PPR event is done, framework neglects any other action done on the page.
Now, like your basic question, why should u use PPR event ?Instead y not firaction always?
The reason is the very first defination of PPR.If i have n number of items on my page, if I define every action as fire action after each event page will refresh, so even for a small update like vanishing a field, i have to refresh the entire page which will be unusual for the user because it will take some time to load if page has some heavy components like hgrids , tables etc. Thats y we prefer PPR event over fire action in case of individual events, which is much fast, refreshing only particular form items.
In standard j2ee web applications, the same is done using DHTML and javascript.
I hope i am clear.

How to set focus on a input field in a selected row of a table?

In a previous discussion (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3564789) I asked how to access an input (sap.m.Input) field of a selected row in a table. In the answer that was supplied I was shown how to get the items of the table. Then using the selected index to get the selected item get the cells. Then I could set editable on the proper cell(s). This worked fine.
Now I need to set the focus on one of the fields. I tried something like this:
            var oNewLink = table.getSelectedItem();
            var oNewLinkName = oNewLink.getCells()[1];
            oNewLinkName.focus();
But this doesn't seem to work.
I have searched through other discussions and have seen this technique for putting focus on a field if you have its ID:
sap.ui.getCore().byId(id_of_the_input_field).$().focus();
In my case though I do not have an ID since the row and its cells are generated. How can I set focus on the cell of a certain row in a table?

Hello Venkatesh. Yes that code does work. First I tried it on a table cell that was already rendered and it did work. The next time I tried it on a table row that was being added and it did not work there. So I added an on after rendering function for the table and added that code there. That did not work until I added a delay (timeout) to do a context switch before calling the focus and that worked.
Once last thing though sometimes when I call focus on an input field (actually in a table row cell) if the field has text in it already the flashing cursor is at the beginning of the text and other times it is at the end of the text (which is the desired way). It depends on where I click in the row. Is there anyway to make sure the flashing cursor is at the end of the text when the focus is applied to a field that contains text?

Focus after Setting a Form Value within the Validate Event ( =8.8)

Hi
Setting Values within Validate Event sets Focus incorrectly on SAP >= 8.8
The following example works fine on SAP 2007.
Why i don't like this behaviour
-I didn't found an easy workaround to fix it
-SetMatrixCellWithoutValidation has the right behaviour but only works with Userdefined - Columns
-It's a quite common usecase to validate something and in the same step set some values after successful validating (or cancel the input by using BubbleEvent = False)
-It just worked for 6 years now
-I have developed around 20+ AddOns and i'm running into this Regression Issue more and more.
But maybe i'm just missing something.
So how would you solve the following code now with Versions >= 8.8 ?
Thanks for any enlightment!

How do I set focus to a text field after I click a button that calls a webservice?

I have a web service that returns back a table. In order to show the values in the table I had to check the re-merge Form Data on the Webservice Button. My question is , How do I set focus to a field on the screen after re-merge happens.

I was reading SetFocus documentation and it says
You cannot use setFocus with the form:ready, layout:ready, or initialize events.
What I need is an event like doc:ready or someother event where I can put the set focus code in. doc:ready was triggered when the form first loads which is great and I was able to put my Initial setfocus. When I pressed the button that calls the webservice and thr re-merge happened doc:ready event was not triggered so now I am not sure where to put the set focus.

Setting focus to inputText of newly created row in af:table

Using Jdev Ps4
Simple use case:
I have an af:table with a few columns and a createInsert button.
When I press the createInsert button, a new record is added to the table.
How can I set focus to the first inputText of that newly created row?
I have been looking for a solution online but all the examples online tell us how to set focus to components that already exist and you know the ID of. With the newly created row, you don't have the ID so you cannot set the focus.
In this topic (which is quite old...) https://kr.forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=643924 Frank Nimphius explained that it would be difficult and he would pass it on to the developers.
I haven't found any information if there are some enhancements in this area to make this work...
I tried with using plain old javascript by looping through the dom structure but had no success in doing so...
Thanks

How to use PPR in Adv Tbl specific row specific UI element/attr/field

I have an editable advanced table, it has a controlling column that depending on the value you select will require or not require specific fields
how do I use ppr to enable this feature without risking affecting the other rows within the advanced table?
Example
Sample Table
Row 1, Value is "A" = Field 2 and Field3 is required
Row 2, Value is "B" = Filed 2 is required Field 3 is not

Found a solution.
Create a transient attribute in the Adv Table target VO that will store "require" flags, e.g. RequireField1
Modify target field Required Attribute in the Advanced table UI, spel must point to this value.
catch and pass EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_ID_PARAM in the PPR event to the AM method.
set the RequiredField transient attr,
