Shuttle Item field width

Is there a way to change the width of the fields in a shuttle item? I have some rather long data items that I'm using in a shuttle. The field width is so narrow that the majority of the data is not displayed. I'm using APEX 4.1

Oddly enough, I actually did search the forum before posting. Apparently I didn't submit the appropriate search terms to yield the answer I needed, but somehow I was able to put the correct terms into the title of the post. I'll have to pay a little closer attention next time. My apologies for transgressing forum etiquette, and thank you for gently pointing it out.

Changing Shuttle Item width

Is there a way to increase Apex 3.0's Shuttle Item's width? I've tried changing the width propery of the Element, the Element's HTML Table Cell Attributes, HTML Form Element Attributes and Form Element Option Attributes all to no avail.
thanks

Hi Kathryn,
setting "HTML Form Element Attributes" to
style="width: 300px;"also works. It has the advantage that you can have different sizes when you have multiple shuttles.

Searching a Table field with multiple values using a shuttle item

Hello All,
I have a shuttle item whhich of course users can select multiple values:
eg: Orange:Pear:Banana
Now I have a table where I want to get the Crate Numbers where these fruit items reside.
The Fruit field has multiple stored values
eg:
Crate Fruits
=== ====
12487 Apple:Orange:Pear:Banana
17653 Orange:Pear:Grapes
12874 Apple:Banana
13655 Grapes:Watermelon:Pineapple
87643 Pear:Banana
53626 Strawberries:Apple
I would like to see a final report similiar to this
Crate Fruit
=== ===
12487 Orange
12487 Pear
12487 Banana
17653 Orange
17653 Pear
12874 Banana
87643 Pear
87643 Banana
I thought maybe this needs to be done using collections but I am not familiar with this function, if their is another way I would appreciate it
Hope u can help
Frank

Hi Frank,
I find that in this sort of case, it is easier to create a link table containing the individual values rather than lumping them into one column.
so the data is stored in the 'Crate, Fruit' format, rather then the 'Crate Fruits' format.
It is a bit more work maintaining the link table when the values are amended and populating the shuttle, but it is a 'proper' relational table then.
Regards
Michael

Shuttle item width

Hello.
Is there any way to increase the default width of the shuttle item? Both the left and the right windows seem to be about 20 chars wide by default. The item's element height seems to be working - I can change it. But the item's element width value does not seem to matter.
Thanks
Boris

In the HTML Form Element Attributes put this:
style="width:200px"
and it will increase the width of each side of the shuttle to that size.

Field width in ALV report

Hi,
How to increase the field width of a field in ALV report.
I mean, in a ALV report, the field description of a field is not showing correctly. IF i try to extend the field width by the mouse/coursor, it displays the correct description.
IS there any way where for displaying the field description correctly?
Thanks,

Hi,
Go through the sample code,

There are a number of ways to create a fieldcat.
For the purpose of this example i will build the fieldcatalog manualy
by populating the internal table fields individually and then
appending the rows. This method can be the most time consuming but can
also allow you more control of the final product.
Beware though, you need to ensure that all fields required are
populated. When using some of functionality available via ALV, such as
total. You may need to provide more information than if you were
simply displaying the result
I.e. Field type may be required in-order for
the 'TOTAL' function to work.

Shuttle Item Properties in Apex 3.0

Hi,
Hoping someone can assist with the new Shuttle item in Apex 3.0.
Basically, can someone please let me know how I can perform the following:
a) change the width of the shuttle as when I make a change to the width property, it doesn't seem to make any difference?
b) Am I still able to place headings on each of the shuttle cells like I could when using Carl's example?
c) Based on Carl's original Shuttle implementation, is there any undocumented information relating to the new Shuttle item?
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Tony,
<p>
a) under Elements>HTML Form Element Attributes, use style="width:200px" to set the width for the item<p>
b) I have not found a way to do that, although others may have<p>
c) Check out the Apex 3.0 documentation for the shuttle item--you basically treat it like a multi-select list, with the source of the item returning a colon-delimited string of values.

Set Session State with Shuttle items

Is it possible to have session state set with each item selected in a shuttle? You have a shuttle with 4 possible options, you select item 2 from the left portion of shuttle and it is moved to the right.. Can you set the session state at that point?
What I am trying to do is take the session state after change in the control and use it to populate a text field below. The returned values are used in a sql select to populate the text box with a looked up value...
Thank you,
Tony Miller
Ruckersville, VA

Won't this just push the last items value in, as apposed to appending the value?
Tony,
No. Because for shuttle items the return value is stored as colon delimited string.
Means after each change you will have a colon delimited string in the session state with selected values(moved to right).

Tags Plugin Incompatible With Shuttle Item

I installed the Learning Library (http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r41/inst_pkgapp/inst_pkgapp.htm) and found that the Tag plugin is incompatible with the Shuttle Item. Page 17 contains both and the shuttle item does not function. It will not shuttle any items. If I remove disable the Tags item (which is of Tags Plugin type) the shuttle works as expected. I looked around for information on this plugin but did not locate it on http://www.apex-plugin.com/search-plugin-directory. I'd like to keep if but I definitely need the shuttle item working so I may just go with a text item for the Tags field.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason

This error should only appear when you use a list-item with the list-type set to combobox. A combobox in forms is a listitem where you can also enter your own text. If you nly need a dropdown list, set the liststyle to poplist. This works also without patching. if you really need the combobox, patch.

Shuttle item

How to change the shuttle item width to fit the text width ?
Yogesh

I've installed the lastest 3.2.1 Apex version, and the tricks style="" and width="500" don't seem to have any effect.
I'm using the default template "20" (blue-ish).
Anyone else having this issue ?
I need the shuttle to be quite a bit larger.....
I tried creating a new application with a different template this morning, and used a shuttle as the only item on the page.
The shuttle doesn't work with the above mentioned tricks. I tried every combo I could think of.
Can someone from Oracle Please take a look. The shuttle is rather USELESS if it's only about 13 chararacters wide....
Thanks.

Shuttle Item problem in Apex 3.1.2

Hi
I created application based on shuttle items in apex earlier version.
The same is not working fine in Apex 3.1.2 version.
I'm not doing any process on shuttle items.
Just created a shuttle item contains a list of values.
whenever i refresh the page,(or say when i press Cancel button to go back to previous page)
shuttle item selects all the values in the list, (i.e values in shuttle items are rolling).
I somehow tried to replicate the same application in demo environment :
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=12822:4
workspace: vsanthanam
userid: vijay
password: apex_demo
If you see above application, whenever we press button submit. it selects all the values in
Shuttle (actually rolling in my developement instance and not processing further).
Is there anything that we have to take care while using shuttle in newer version?
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Arie
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
While analyzing the issue on two versions: 3.1.2 & 3.0.x ,I noticed few things:
1) Limitation of 2000 values
Had raised SR with Oracle, They have treated this as bug some time back and have temporary resolution as per BUG ID 7326899.
This got temporarily resolved by setting higher value for PlsqlMaxParameters.
As per my understanding: Shuttles never used to refer to this variable value In earlier version. We are on earlier version on one of the instance, where the value for this parameter is still 2000, and despite having more number of values in shuttles on page it never throws error. That shows its a change in new version and behavior is not same.
2) Looping/ Going through all values in left box and then right box of shuttle when page submits.
I am pretty sure at-least about the visual part that it never happened in earlier version what I see on my application on earlier version. But I am not sure about the page rendering / functionality part as this would need regression testing.
So this is second change in shuttle behavior.
Since Business users need all values to be present in the shuttle even after submit for resubmission i.e. again creating the records, so I have not put yet the java script suggested by you to put restriction on length so that it doesn’t loops through values.
I went though the thread where Carl and You have discussed the issue:
Shuttle Item in 3.1
Thanks again Arie!
I am also following with Oracle to get some solution other than following you :-)

Field width in Crystal Reports 10 Standard Edition

I have a text field in an Access table of 50 chars. When I place that field on a report the default width in design view is less than 50, showing a given number of "X"s. I widen the field beyond the "X"s but still the full content of the field is not displayed in preview mode. For instance I have loaded the field with 50 chars and the 50 chars are not displayed in preview. Is there a way to tell Crystal Reports to default the width of the field in design view to the length of the field in Access? I am a former DOS programmer, where we would specify in the code the width of the display in a form or report. I have always been bothered by the GUI interface because the design interface does not default to the field width and therefore data can be hidden. Professionally, I missed the switch from the DOS interface to the GUI interface. This issue with field layout has always troubled me. Also in the Dummies book (and in CR Help) there is a statement to the effect that CR 10 "automatically adjusts the fields displayed to match the field sizes you chose, and spaces them out proportionally". I see no indication of this. Thanks.

Just to clarify, if I widen the field quite a bit, way beyond the "X"s I do eventually see the 50 chars in preview mode. But for some reason CR puts down 40 "X"s for a field of length 50. And then I have to just play around with the width until I can see the 50 chars on the report. Am I doing something wrong or is there a setting that needs to be adjusted? I guess I am hoping to see the number of "X"s be equal to the length of the text string.
I did learn about "can grow". When I connect to Excel CR puts down 40 "X"s and I have to fudge with the width until I see the full 50 chars.
With the GUI interface is the developer thinking more in terms of inches vs. number of characters? Like I said I am a dinosaur and I struggle with detail.

Report page scaling/zoom for paper size and field width?

Are there ways to design a report, or programmatically set a report to dynamically resize based on factors such as paper size (A4 vs. Letter vs. Legal), orientation (portrait vs. landscape), and field width (e.g fields grow and shrink based on data)? We are looking at ways to dynamically choose paper size and scale. This would be similar to how Excel files can adjust for printing depending on paper, and PDF files can zoom in/out for paper size.
Thanks,
Kyle

We don't want to add fields dynamically at runtime. Instead we want to automatically resize fields at runtime to properly fit data on the page. Currently with our 400 reports, data fields have gotten longer over the years so important data is being truncated. We'd like it if fields could properly grow/shrink/scale so that the data is always valid. We'd like it if the user flips from portrait to landscape, the field widths automatically grow to use the entire page. Or, if a user goes from Letter to A4, pagination still works properly and the fields get slightly wider to fit the A4 standard.
What we don't want is to have a version of the report for portrait Letter, portrait A4, portrait Legal, landscape Letter, landscape A4, landscape Legal, etc. It would be a support nightmare.
I don't know if it is possible, but I'm hoping it is. Thanks for the help.

Free item field checked defaultly in PO for one specific vendor

Hi,
If we always send a free PO to a vendor, is there any place to configure that once we create PO to this specific vendor, the free item field is checked defaultly?
Some posts on the web indicated that they succeeded in doing this by setting in vendor master, but I cannot find the field.
Where to achieve this function?
Thanks!
Wesley

Hi,
try to maintain a free goods condition in tcode MBN1 with
Discount type NR00 and make this article as an Additional material free
goods which will be procured free of cost on purchase of some other
article. The system will not consider the Net price value maintained in
the purchasing view of the article master and you would find that the
net price is ZERO for this free item in the Purchase order.
