Seveval columns in a JMenu ?

Hello,
i build a JMenu with many items (20) which are very small (kind of gif smileys),
so i'd like to make 4 columns instead of a long one.
Is there any solution except a complex JTable ?
thx !!!

myMenu.getPopupMenu().setLayout(new GridLayout(10,0));

Add and remove columns from JTable

Help me please!
A try to remove column from JTable. It's removed, but when I try to add column in table, then I get all old (removed early) columns + new column....
I completely confused with it.....
Here is my code for remove column:
class DelC implements ActionListener
          public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e )
               int [] HowManyColDelete = table.getSelectedColumns();
               if (HowManyColDelete.length !=0)
                    TableColumnModel tableCModel = table.getColumnModel();
                    for (int i = HowManyColDelete.length-1; i>-1; i--)
                         table.getColumnModel().removeColumn (tableCModel.getColumn (HowManyColDelete [ i ]));
               else
                      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(JOptionPane.getRootFrame(), "Column is not selected!");
     }

It's little ex for me, I just try understand clearly how it's work (table models i mean). Here is code. All action with tables take place through menu items.
My brain is boiled, I've try a lot of variants of code, but did't get right result :((
It's code represent problem, which I've describe above. If you'll try remove column and then add it again, it will be ma-a-a-any colunms...
I understand, that my code just hide columns, not delete from table model....
But now I have not any decision of my problem...
Thanks a lot for any help. :)

Updating a JTable by hiding/displaying columns

I have a customizable JTable where I display/hide columns according to a users' selection criteria. My code works fine for hiding/displaying columns if the Jtable is opened for the fist time, but doesnot work if I want to hide columns in already displayed table.How do I do it?? Any clue?? I tried
myTabModel.fireTableDataChanged();
but this only works for updating the table data...it does not hide columns for me... when I hide column I just remove desired column like this:
myTable.removeColumn(myTable.getColumn("Column 3"));

Here is the sample code I tried. It worked without any invalidate or repaint or updateUI(). generated using NetBeans

thank you ignignokt84, it work fine.
I have another question (about JMenu)
DB that use 2 TABLES
a) categories with columns categories_id | parent_id | sort_order |
b) categories_description with columns categories_id | categories_name
categories_id | parent_id | sort_order |
1 | 0 | 1 |
2 | 0 | 2 |
3 | 1 | 1 |
4 | 1 | 2 |
8 | 2 | 1 |
9 | 2 | 2 |
categories_id | categories_name |
1 | Books |
2 | Hardware |
3 | Java Book |
4 | Mysql Book |
8 | keyboard |
9 | mouse |
I try make JMenu with submenu
JMenu = Books {Submenu = Java Book, Mysql Book}

Query help: query to return column that represents multiple rows

I have a table with a name and location column. The same name can occur multiple times with any arbitrary location, i.e. duplicates are allowed.
I need a query to find all names that occur in both of two separate locations.
For example,
bob usa
bob mexico
dot mexico
dot europe
hal usa
hal europe
sal usa
sal mexico
The query in question, if given the locations usa and mexico, would return bob and sal.
Thanks for any help or advice,
-=beeky

How about this?
SELECT NAME
FROM    <LOCATIONS_TABLE>
WHERE   LOCATION IN ('usa','mexico')
GROUP BY NAME
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT LOCATION) >= 2Results:

Unable to capture the adf table column sort icons using open script tool

Hi All,
I am new to OATS and I am trying to create script for testing ADF application using open script tool. I face issues in recording two events.
1. I am unable to record the event of clicking adf table column sort icons that exist on the column header. I tried to use the capture tool, but that couldn't help me.
2. The second issue is I am unable to capture the panel header text. The component can be identified but I was not able to identify the supporting attribute for the header text.

Hi keerthi,
1. I have pasted the code for the first issue
web
                         .button(
                                   122,
                                   "/web:window[@index='0' or @title='Manage Network Targets - Oracle Communications Order and Service Management - Order and Service Management']/web:document[@index='0' or @name='1824fhkchs_6']/web:form[@id='pt1:_UISform1' or @name='pt1:_UISform1' or @index='0']/web:button[@id='pt1:MA:0:n1:1:pt1:qryId1::search' or @value='Search' or @index='3']")

Implementing BADI MD_ADD_COL_EZPS for MD04 custom column

Hi there,
I'm using BADI MD_ADD_COL_EZPS to display 3 new buttons and three new columns in MD04.
For each line item that is displayed, the custom column is filled, after the button is hit -This works fine.
My Question is:
Is there any way to limit the value that is filled into the new column so that it only appears on the FIRST line item/row?
(At the moment it is repeated all the way down the page - the new value is a material characteristic, so doesn't change, will always be the same for each line)
I've looked at all the available structures/tables in the FILL_ADD_COLUMNS method of the BADI, and none seem suitable
to determine the "first" row. (ie. something like the way SY-TABIX or SY-INDEX might be used)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
David.

Hi Shubhendu,
in the method 'ACTIVATE_ADD_COLUMNS', you can set the flag EZ1_MODE to '1' to make the first column visible always. (it's been a while, but I think setting it to '2' makes it visible when the button is pressed.)
Same applies to EZ2_MODE for second column, EZ3_MODE for third.
look at the flags/parameters in this method, and also in FILL_ADD_COLUMNS, to fill the data.
here you need to fill structure EMDEZX_USEX1 (for column 1) etc.
The code is hit for each record displayed in MD04
Hopefully this helps you.
Regards,
David

Not null and enable or disable column in tabular form

Hi,
Using apex version 4.1 and working on tabular form.
ACT_COA_SEGMENT_MAS is Master table
and
ACT_SEGMENT_VALUES_MAS is detail table
I have entered 8 rows in master table and PARENT_SEGMENT_ID is column in master table which is null able. If i specified PARENT_SEGMENT_ID with value in master table then in detail table there is column PARENT_ID that should not be null and enable.
How i can enable or disable column when in master table PARENT_SEGMENT_ID column is null then in detail table PARENT_ID column should disable and vice versa.
I have created tabular form on Detail table. before insert into the tabular form Check in master table in first entry if PARENT_SEGMENT_ID is not null in first row of master table then in tabular form PARENT_ID should enable and not null able in corresponding to this first row id's lines in tabular form.
Same should check for second row in master table if PARENT_SEGMENT_ID is not null then entered rows with PARENT_ID into tabular form corresponding to 2nd id in master table should not nullable and column should enable in tabular form.
Thanks & Regards
Vedant

Vedant,
You need to create you own manual tabular form and not use the wizard.
Using APEX_ITEM api you should be build you own form and you will be able to control how you wan to display the rows. (See Link [Apex Item Help|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_item.htm#CACEEEJE] )
select case when PRIMARY_TABLE_COLUMN is null then APEX_ITEM.DISPLAY_AND_SAVE(3 , DETAIL_COLUMN ) else APEX_ITEM.TEXT(2,detail_column) end "ALIAS" from detail table
Hope that help.

Converting null and blank to NA in a column of a database table

Hi
This is a simple thing but is giving me a hard time. I need to change the values coming as null or blank to NA . The values comes in a flat file as a source and I need to laod it convertign to NA in database. I wrote the expression as
ISNULL([NPS Rating]) ? "NA" : [NPS Rating] in a derived column and checked the box " retain null values from source as null values in data flow:
However it is not working instead giving the error as : Truncation may occur due to inserting data from dataflow column from column name" with a length of ...........
Can any help me to sort out this problem. Am I writing the correct expression?
Thank you so much for your help in advance.
Kind regards
Rama

In your conditional result force it to the same length and type and make sure it is long enough, e.g.
ISNULL([NPS Rating])==TRUE ? (DT_WSTR,256)"NA" : (DT_WSTR, 256)[NPS
Rating]
and if the data comes from a flat file, the test will most likely need to test for zero length string too, or trim spaces and then test for zero length.
LEN(TRIM([NPS Rating])) == 0 || ISNULL...

In ALV report is possible to display the subtotals in separate column

Hi,
I have made one ALV report, i need to show the subtotals of ekpo-brtwr (Gross Value) grouped by or sorted by
ekko-ebeln (Purshasing Doc) but in separate column not at the end of the line items of each purshasing doc
any idea how can i do this?
let us say i have the following cols in my report:
ekko-bukrs
ekko-ebeln,
ekko-aedat,
kko-lifnr,
ekpo-brtwr
i want to add one more col for example (T-Gross) and to fill it with the suptotals of (ekpo-brtwr) sorted by the
ekko-ebeln (Purshasing Doc).
thanks a lot.

If you need one more column, then you need to expand the field catalog table and data table as you did for all other fields and you need to code the logic to calculate the subtotals and populate the new column, but if you want to have row, that will be easy. For more info you can [refer |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4063c42a-2549-2c10-fab6-a8c99d98b9b5?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]this:
