Setting message tokens for short tips

Question

I have a field with a shorttip defined. I want to be able to make the message dynamic, i.e. set message tokens. Is this possible?

Answer 1

There are two ways of doing this in processFormRequest,
(1) Easier and not recommended.
Use the same code that I gave in my previous post, but put it in your processFormRequest. However, note that OA Framework coding guidelines prohibit you from changing web bean properties during processFormRequest.
(2) Write your custom bound value.
Write your own bound value implementation extending oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAAbstractBoundValue. Implement the constructor, and getValue(object) method. In the getValue method, put in your code that recognizes the tip value to be rendered.
In the processRequest of your controller, attach the above bound value class to the tip property as follows,
inputFieldBean.setAttributeValue(TIP_ATTR, new <yourTipBoundValueClass>());
Define the constructor such that you pass in parameters necessary to calculate the tip. Note that the bean on which you are setting the bound value must be sent in as a parameter (inputFieldBean). In the constructor implementation, set this parameter to mOAWebBean which is a public variable defined in OAAbstractBoundValue.
