Tab to change component focus not "real tab" in jtextarea

Hi,
Assume you have four text field in one panel. The first text field get focus. Then you press tab, the focus will change to next text field... and so on..... If you put one text area in that panel..... the story begins....
When you press tab in text area, it will do "real tab" in that text area....
How do I disable that? I want it so that when you press tab in text area, it will change the focus to next element not do "real tab"...
Thank you.

Feel free to remove parts of the code that you feel
are not required. The code was only posted as a
suggestion. If there are some lines of code that you
don't want then please remove then. You are under no
obligation to use the code as posted. To make the
code shorter you could try shortening the method
names. I used "tabForward" and "tabBackward". You
could use "f" and 'b" to shorten the names.Hehe, nice to have you back.

Please help is it possible in Form Personalization or not if not please suggest the alternative.
Thanks in Advance.

Please help is it possible in Form Personalization or not if not please suggest the alternative.Forms Personalization is a feature of the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS) not Oracle Forms. Please post your question in the General EBS Discussion forum. If you have a general Forms question, by all means, ask it here! ;-)
For information on what and how you can do something with Forms Personalization, you should review the Oracle Application Framework Personalization Guide in the Oracle Applications Documentation library.

ADF-InputText, ValueChangeListener not called w/o change of focus

Hi,
im using BarCode Reader which reads the value into the ADFInputText field.
Now, i need its value in the backing bean just wen it reads a value. but actually, the page waits for causes change of focus in order to call the valueChangeListener.
Is there any property which sets the form is auto submit mode in such a way that whenever a value is read into a field the value change listener is called.
the other way is to instantiate a thread with a timer and call it after every certain while and read the value explicitly.
pointers appreciated.

Hi,
there is no other way then stepping put of it. Duncan Mills wrote an article about using Ajax in JSF, which is the only alternative I can imagine

Question: - Can I change component material at the time of MIGO. I mean can change component material from Mat-B to Mat C etc.

Hello Rajesh,
You need to change the component in Purchase order (ME22N). there is not separate table for this.
- Go to ME22N transaction
- Select the line item for final product
- Go to Material tab and click on "Component" at rightside
- Add new material number here
- You can keep old material or delete it.
Hope this helps.

Reusable prompt to save changes component

Using jsf/adf 10.1.3.4. I've implemented a reusable prompt to save changes component as described in john's blog (http://stegemanoracle.wordpress.com/page/3/). In that blog he mentions some questionable/buggy behavior regarding the dialog framework. Specifically, there's an issue with using something other than partialSubmit="true" on the component that launches the dialog box. Using something other than partialSubmit="true" on the button/link results in not being able to navigate in the return listener of the dialog. I think I'm a victim of a similar issue and wanted to see if there were any ideas/suggestions.
I'm launching my dialog using partialSubmit = "true" on the commandButton and my navigation (in the return listener) is not working in a certain scenario. I think what is causing the navigation not to work is the fact that on my page I have an input text that fires a value change listener method, which means the autoSubmit property on that inputText is set to 'true'. If the user changes a value in that inputText (w/o tabbing out of that field) and immediately clicks the button that launches the dialog, the navigation after dialog closes doesn't happen. If I change the inputText value, then tab out (firing the autoSubmit), then click the button that launches the dialog, navigation occurs properly when the dialog closes. Am I stuck with this limitation or is there some workaround? I was also curious as to whether this type of thing has been addressed in the latest 11g version, as we're thinking about migrating our apps soon. Thanks.

Hi kcjim,
11g has capability for this behaviour out-of-the-box, so no need to use my approach there. I was never able to find a satisfactory solution in 10.1.3.x to the issues described.

I have been using itunes on my windows based pc for years but since installing the latest itunes update I have been getting the error message A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes. (-42404)

I have been using itunes on my windows 64 bit laptop for years but since downloading the latest itunes 10.7 update whenever I opened itunes the error message 'A required itunes component is not installed. Please reinstall itunes (-42404)'
Itunes would still load and play music in my library and I could still sync my ipod but when loading a CD itunes would not recognise the album/tracks and I would need to type them manualing after uploading.
I have just bought the new iphone5 and went to sync the phone with itunes. itunes recognises the iphone when plugged in via the usb port or when wi fi is turned on but itunes will not allow the phone to sync.
I spent over an hour the other morning speaking to apple customer support and have ensured I have administer right and that UAC is turned off.
I was taken through msconfigure and adjusted the startup tab but still no joy.
In the end I was e-mailed instructions on how to uninstall and then reinstall itunes and component parts.
Now that I've uninstalled itunes when I try reinstalling I get the following messages during the download.
The 1st message is;
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
When I click ok the next message that appears sometime later during the install is;
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
The options I have are to abort, retry or ignore. If I retry the same message comes back and if I abort or ignore the download continues and I then get the following message:
'Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run itunes Helper. Please uninstall itunes, then reinstall itunes again. Error 2'
After attempting to reinstall itunes only some components were installed however itunes would not open.
It would appear many people have experienced problems with this latest download!

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

How can I make a custom component focusable?

Hi all,
I'm using a custom made component that consists of a JLabel
and a JTextField. I want to make this component focusable,
and when it's in focus I want the JTextField to have the
focus so that the user can start typing immediately.
I've looked at the java tutorial
(http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/focus.html#focusable).
When my component gets the focus I request the focus to the
JTextField. The problem is: whenever i check if my custom
component has the focus, it hasn't because JTextField has it
(the focus, i mean :-) ) Which isn't strange i think, but
how can i solve this problem?

I want to make this component focusable, and when it's in focus I want the JTextField to have the focus

You don't need to make the containing panel focusable in order for the text field to receive focus. The FocusManager is smart enough to place focus on the first focusable component contained in the panel. If you make the panel focusable then you will need to use the tab key twice, once to move focus to the panel and a second time to move focus to the text field.

Tab in JTextArea

hi,
how can i deactivate the Tab in JTextArea.
when i click on Tab in JTextArea i get a real Tab with 8 Chars(i can control the size!)
but i want that Tab goes to the next Object.
thx.

And if you need to set the action yourself, you would use something like this (though you would want it a lot cleaner I would imagine...)
KeyMap km = jTextArea.getKeyMap();
km.removeKeyStrokeBinding(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,0));
km.removeKeyStrokeBinding(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,KeyEvent.CTRL_MASK));
Action tabAction = new Action(jTextArea) {
     private Component currentFocusOwner;
     public Action (Component comp) {
          currentFocusOwner = comp;
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          currentFocusOwner.transferFocus();
tabAction.putValue(Action.Action_Command_Key, "Tab");
km.setActionForKeyStroke (KeyStroke.getKeyStoke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,0), tabAction);You will want to look into the API for KeyMaps, Actions, and KeyEvents to put it all together (looking into the JTextArea heirarchy won't hurt either...)

Help in Changing Initial Focus in Jpanel?

HI
I have extended JPanel to create a class which has many components like JButtons etc. This class is reusable and has to be used at many places.
When I include this class in a JFrame, the focus is always with the first component of my class. But I want the initial Focus to be with another component.
I can do this by calling some method from outside my class but I do not want the user to bother with this extra function calling. Is there any way to change initial focus from within my class? I have already tried grabFocus() and requestFocus() but these methods have no effect before frame packing. Can anybody suggest some workaround?
Regards
Abhinit Kumar

You have to do it after the frame is visible. Assuming you class is not a singleton, make the call to requestFocus the last thing in the contructor.

Handling Unit Change Document does not exist

Hi,
You've checking the @ correct place to see Change Documents but why you're not able to see those ?
Are you sure that you've changed HU?
Check if any 'Data Changed' exists in Tab-General Info of HU. If any Changed Date & By exists, then it should display in Change Docs.

Automatic Selected Item of List Builder Component Does not work (anymore)

Hi all,
Í'm working with Xcelsius Engage 2008 (version 5.3.2.0) and the automatic selection of an item at runtime of the list builder component does not work anymore. In a previous version it worked very well.
Here's the case: at runtime I want that the list builder component automatically puts the first item in the list to the destination section and selects it, so that a graph can show the underlying pushed data. In the previous version it worked o.k., but now at runtime the destination section remains empty at startup. If I interactively select an item from the source section to the destination section and update the list builder, the data is shown correctly, but it must done automatically, which worked o.k. in an earlier version of Xcelsius 2008...
This are my settings of the list builder component (which was running correctly earlier..):
-at the general tab I defined a range of labels
-at the general tab I defined 2 data column insertion series
-at the behaviour-common tab I defined selected items: position mode; items: the first item of the label list; insert items at runtime
-all of the data comes from an external xml data source
You can find an example of the visualisation at: http://onderzoek2.evinet.nl/projecten/10169/dynarap.htm. You will see that at start-up there is no item visible and selected in the destination section of the list builder....
I've tried every combinations of settings, build up the component from scratch, but its not working (anymore).
Greetings Erik-Jan Vriens

Hi njnits,
Print view button is a standard component of Xcelsius: look at it in the IDE
Exporting to Powerpoint is also a standard functionality, so yes. For this particular dashboard/report all data resides in an external xml-file which have to be accessible for Powerpoint
All visualisations, not only the table, in this/report fetch their data from an external xml-file, but a QaaWS-connection will also do the trick. You will have to write this dedicated service. In our case the xml-data is also generated automatically.
The external data is best defined as a sort of matrix, consisting of approx. 100 columns by 1000 rows. I agree it takes a lot of Xcelsius but it does the job....
Hopes this info helps....

Change Management Document not visable in Change Management Workcenter

I am configuring CHARM in my sandbox Solution Manager EHP1 system. I have created a Change Request and assigned it to a Maintenance Cycle. The request has status Authorized and the associated Change Document (Correction) has been created. I have entered the Business Partner number for the Developer in the Current Processor field of the Change Document. When I log on as the Developer, I can see the Change Document when going through CRM_DNO_MONITOR, but the Change Document does not appear on the Change Management tab when I navigate to the Change Management Workcenter. The same problem appears when I assign the current processor to another role such as a Tester.
I have the following roles assigned.
Developer:
SAP_CM_DEVELOPER_COMP
SAP_CM_SMAN_DEVELOPER
SAP_SMWORK_BASIC
SAP_SMWORK_CHANGE_MAN
SAP_SOCM_DEVELOPER
Tester:
SAP_CM_SMAN_TESTER
SAP_CM_TESTER_COMP
SAP_SMWORK_BASIC
SAP_SMWORK_CHANGE_MAN
SAP_SOCM_TESTER
Does anyone have any idea what the problem may be?

Thanks Xavier. Yes, adding SAP_ALL / SAP_NEW enabled the change document to appear in the workcenter.
I was able to track down the authorization to authorization Object CRM Order - Business Transaction Type (CRM_ORD_PR-PR_TYPE). Just needed to add the Transaction Type for the Change Document and that did the trick.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Joe

On our test system its working even in the WebUI.
On our prod. system not.
Does somebody of you have any advices/hints for me?

Programatically change control focus to generate and Event......

I'm adding some user enhancement (anti-screw-it-up functions) to insure the desired process is executed.
Primary question: If I have an event that is handles by a value change in a text control, (event happens when you hit Enter or exit control with mouse) will the event also occur if you exit the control by programatically changing the focus to another control ?
I'm going to try and set up a temp vi to test this but wanted to see if anyone had tried this and if it works or not. My other option is to set up multiple event cases but I was hoping to use a single case to handle everything.
A few details, I have a test system that tests a product automatically when the product is placed in a cradle and the cradle is moved into position and activates a prox sensor. At end of test, system waits for prox sensor to de-activate before resetting the system.
If a unit fails, there are rework options and the unit can be retested. When it fails, a label prints defining the failure modes and provides a failing serial number. When the unit is retested, the failing serial number is entered into a text control. I want the re-test sequence (queued up in the Event) to occur when either 1, a failing serial number is entered or two a button is pressed (with mouse) I'm pretty sure pressing a button would in turn automatically create the text control change event so my button can probably be a dummy button just for appearances.
Where the hole is if the user enters a failed serial # and doesn't exit the control and then engages a pump to start the test. I can use a 'Empty Path/String' function but the control will continue to show empty as if nothing was entered until the Enter key is pressed or the mouse is used to exit the control.
If I can generate the event by changing the focus, then it will insure that if a failing s/n is entered, the re-test sequence occurs and if nothing exists in that field, it performs a first time test.
A little long winded for sure but any thoughts are appreciated.
Can't really post any simple code as this feature is in my top level vi and I have a really big app that doesn't warrant uploading.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually, changing the focus alone did not trigger the event but I was able to then utilize the Empty Path/String function to drive a Value(Signaling) node for the control.
