Tables – highlight row/column on head click

hello —
I'm working on styles for tables and would like to know if
anyone has a simple method to making a row highlight when the the
head row cell is clicked and the column highlight when the head
column cell is clicked. — I tired some java script earlier,
though it's buggy (a flicker) when tested, and the columns are not
working as well as the rows.

You can sort tables using DOM methods. I would think you
could also change highlighting, but don't know for sure. Just
investigate what methods are available in the DOM or try a search
for DOM table

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a databae?

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a database using LabVIEW Database Toolkit? I am using Ms Access. Suppose I have three columns in a table, I write 1st row of 1st column, then 1st row of 3rd column. The problem I am having is after writing the 1st row 1st column, the reference goes to second row and if I write into 3rd column, it goes to 2nd row 3rd column. Any suggestion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you do a SQL INSERT command, you create a new row. If you want to change an existing row, you have to use the UPDATE command (i.e. UPDATE tablename SET column = value WHERE some_column=some_value). The some_column could be the unique ID of each row, a date/time, etc.
I have no idea what function to use in the toolkit to execute a SQL command since I don't use the toolkit. I also don't understand why you just don't do a single INSERT. It would be much faster.

Easily set column value in table's row when checkbox is clicked

Hi,
in Jdev 11.1.2.3 i have a table which row consists of 2 columns:
How can i set value #{securityContext.userName} to it1 in column 2 when soc1 is changed in column 1?
I can see a way to do to define <af:setPropertyListener on soc, then find currentRow in BB and set the respective attribute in VO.
Can anyone suggest an easier approach, a shortcut to one from above? i feel there are some... :-)
Use a clientListener ?
<af:column sortProperty="#{bindings.V1.hints.Selected.name}" sortable="false"
headerText="" id="c1" width="30">
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{row.bindings.Selected.inputValue}"
label="#{row.bindings.Selected.label}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.V1.hints.Selected.tooltip}" id="sbc1"/>
</af:column>
<af:column headerText="#{bindings.V1.hints.ProcessedUser.label}" id="c17">
<af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.ProcessedUser.inputValue}" it1
</af:column>

Frank,
i've created an attrBinding in pagedef af:setPropertyListener type attribute:
the only one allowed id attributeChange
but at runtime the error is raised that valueChange is not valid type
the problem arouse with
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{row.bindings.Selected.inputValue}"
label="#{row.bindings.Selected.label}" autoSubmit="true"
valueChangeListener="#{registerBean.socSelectedChangeListener}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.V1.hints.Selected.tooltip}" id="sbc1"/>
<af:setPropertyListener from="#{securityContext.userName}"
to="#{bindings.ProcessedUser.inputValue}"
type="valueChange"/>

Can we get a cell from sap.m.table i.e. row-column value on Click?

Hi All,
we are looking for a requirement where if a user clicks on a particular text(cell) displayed in a table, we should be able to change the color of that text(cell) only.
Can we achieve this in SAPUI5 ?
Any help is greatly appreciated

here is the exact solution which i applied:
Thanks to Dennis Seah code modification was negligible .
In onInit() function i placed the method which takes the cell on which the user clicked and stores it in the variable $o (line 26, $o is global variable).
   2. Replace tableID with your table's ID.
onInit : function() {
view = this.getView();
var oTable = view.byId('tableID');
oTable.onAfterRendering = function() {
if (sap.m.Table.prototype.onAfterRendering) {
sap.m.Table.prototype.onAfterRendering.apply(this);
var tbl = this;
tbl.selectedCell = null;
var items = this.getItems();
for ( var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
var item = items[i];
var path = item.getBindingContext().getPath();
var cells = item.getAggregation('cells');
for ( var j = 0; j < cells.length; j++) {
var cell = cells[j];
var $cell = cell.$();
$cell.attr('path', path);
$cell.attr('bindName',cell.mBindingInfos.text.parts[0].path);
var $parent = $cell.parent();
$parent.css('cursor', 'pointer');
$parent.click(function() {
if (tbl.selectedCell) {
       tbl.selectedCell.css('color', '');
$o = $(this).find('span');
var obj = tbl.getModel().getProperty($o.attr('path'));
sap.m.MessageToast.show(obj[$o.attr('bindName')]);
tbl.selectedCell = $o;
   3. then in changeColor function i use the code to change the color of the cell
changeColor: function() {
$o.css('color', 'red');

Coloring table on row/column dependent mode

hi all forumers.
I ve got a table wich is filled line per line
Each new line is inserted on top of table, and colored according to values of each cells.
When a new line is inserted, all previous lines are pushed down.
I wish colors could also be push down automaticaly, to be associated with the same cells.
Anyone know if it is possible?
(i m using LV6.1)
Thanks and congratulations to this very active forum, that is often very usefull.

I have been hesitating to answer because answers that start with "NO" are not very usefull. Well here goes.
No, the colors can not be slid down automatically.
If you are inserting the new lines at the top because you want to have the new entry visable, this can be done by inserting at the bottom.
The "index values" property will let you scroll the table to keep the last row visable after each row is added to the table.
If this acceptable, you will only have to update the colors for the cells in the row you are adding, but you would have to do this for adding at the top so no difference there.

Cannot copy table cells/rows/columns

Every time I attempt to copy cells using dreamweaver 8.0.2 I
get..
When executing DWMenu_Edit_Copy command in menus.xml, the
following javascript error(s) occurred:
At line 77 of D:\Program FIles\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Shared\MM\Scripts\event.js;
Exception thown in native function.
Anyone know of a fix?

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

Highlight Rows and particular columns in table

Hi,
My requirement is that I should highlight n (can be any integer value) rows of a table and in each of these rows there are m (1,2,3 or 4 depending on the conditions) columns (All drop downs) that need to be highlighted.
What I did is as follows:
1. Made the table multi select and highlighted the rows by using
     wdContext.nodeTable().setSelected(n,true);
   This allowed me to highlight the row.
2. To highlight the column, I used :
    wdContext.nodeTable().getTableElementAt(n).
    setHdesign(WDTableCellDesign.GOODVALUE_MEDIUM);
This allows me to highlight the column .
The problem I am facing is that when both these lines of code are executed one after the other, the row is shown as selected but this selection overrides the color of the column. The column is then shown in the same color as the rest of the row.
Can someone suggest a way in which I can both highlight the row and also have the required column(s) of this row in an entirely different color.
i am using NWDS Version: 7.02.06
Thanks,
Himanshu

How do I create a header in the response table for a column I want to use that is not on the form it

Example: My form has 10 fillable questions. The Response table uses 10 columns to show the answers to those questions. I would like to use 3 more columns to record internal information. How do I insert the header titles?

Hi,
You can go to Responses view tab, focus on your last column header and then click menu Table->Add Column After. Or you click + button at the end of table - refer below image.
I am not clear your question "How do I insert the header titles?" Do you mean you want to use your form title as data value in each cell in the column? If yes, you can set formula in the column following below steps.
1. Click +Add a Row button
2. Focus on the cell on column L (I assume you want to set your formular on this column).
3. Input ="your form title" into the cell
Then after you received a submission, the form title would display in the related cell in each row.
Hope it will help you.
Thanks,
Ying

How to get the selected rows & columns in the table?

hi everybody,
In my application the table is kept inside the event structure.I select the cells in the table (using mouse) on running time.How to get the selected number of rows & columns in that table?

Hello,
You can fill selected values of the table by writing to it or the corresponding property using a property node - the table is just a 2D array of strings. I think for your "disable" question you are referring to the shortcut menu (when you right click). If you are using LabVIEW 8.x, you can edit or disable that shortcut menu - just right click on your table at edit time and choose Advanced >> Run-Time Shortcut Menu.

Where can I find the function "mark a line" in a table (not a row but the line in-between the rows/columns)

In the old version of Numbers (09) as well as in the same Pages version I could choose to allow to mark single lines inbetween rows/columns in order to choose to create different types of lines to mark separations in different sections or just single cells within a table, how do I do that in the recent upgrade?!!! I´m going mad over here!!!!!

Hi A-S,
Do you mean Cell Borders in the Format Panel?
To create this?
Or if you want borders under only A5 and C5 (but not B5) command click on those cells to select them before applying the borders in Format Panel

Ian.

Is this with the Travel database or another database?
If it's another database then make sure your columns
allow nulls. To check this in the Server Navigator, expand
your DataSource down to the column.
Select the column and view the Is Nullable property
in the Property Sheet
If still no luck, check out a tutorial, like Performing Inserts, ...

Using Highlight for columns in data tables

Hi, I'm using the "Highlight" function of SpryEffects in
combination with the sorting features. My HTML structure is a
simple data table, with a repeating region on the table row, so it
pulls in as many rows there are pieces in the attached XML file.
When I sort by one of the column headers at the top, I want to
highlight that whole column, so users can see what they're sorting
by. I'm able to get the first row of the data table highlighted,
but none of the following rows work. I'm pretty sure the problem is
that the highlight function only works when you use an id to define
the element that you want highlighted. If it's in a repeating row,
it sees many ids on the page, and only applies the highlight to the
first one. I want to change the id to a class, so I can put
multiple ones on the page and have it work, but I can't see how to
do that in the SpryEffects.js file.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do this? Thanks.
Here's the portion of the .js file:
function setupHighlight(element, effect)
Spry.Effect.setStyleProp(element, 'background-image',
'none');
function finishHighlight(element, effect)
Spry.Effect.setStyleProp(element, 'background-image',
effect.options.restoreBackgroundImage);
if (effect.direction == Spry.forwards)
Spry.Effect.setStyleProp(element, 'background-color',
effect.options.restoreColor);
Spry.Effect.Highlight = function (element, options)
var durationInMilliseconds = 1000;
var toColor = "#ffffff";
var doToggle = false;
var kindOfTransition = Spry.sinusoidalTransition;
var setupCallback = setupHighlight;
var finishCallback = finishHighlight;
var element = Spry.Effect.getElement(element);
var fromColor = Spry.Effect.getStyleProp(element,
"background-color");
var restoreColor = fromColor;
if (fromColor == "transparent") fromColor = "#ffff99";
var optionFrom = options ? options.from : '#ffff00';
var optionTo = options ? options.to : '#0000ff';
if (options)
if (options.duration != null) durationInMilliseconds =
options.duration;
if (options.from != null) fromColor = options.from;
if (options.to != null) toColor = options.to;
if (options.restoreColor) restoreColor =
options.restoreColor;
if (options.toggle != null) doToggle = options.toggle;
if (options.transition != null) kindOfTransition =
options.transition;
if (options.setup != null) setupCallback = options.setup;
if (options.finish != null) finishCallback = options.finish;
var restoreBackgroundImage =
Spry.Effect.getStyleProp(element, 'background-image');
options = {duration: durationInMilliseconds, toggle:
doToggle, transition: kindOfTransition, setup: setupCallback,
finish: finishCallback, restoreColor: restoreColor,
restoreBackgroundImage: restoreBackgroundImage, from: optionFrom,
to: optionTo};
var highlightEffect = new Spry.Effect.Color(element,
fromColor, toColor, options);
highlightEffect.name = 'Highlight';
var registeredEffect =
SpryRegistry.getRegisteredEffect(element, highlightEffect);
registeredEffect.start();
return registeredEffect;

Hi Philip, Thanks a lot for puting this enhancement request through.
Just downloaded the latest Patch upgrading to v 3.1.2-704 and confirmed that this functionality is not available yet.
Keeping your experience in mind what kind of expectation to you have for the approval and realization of your request?
Most likely this will take a couple of month – right? Or is there a beta version of 3.2 already available we could use.
Thanks a lot. Cheers Stefan

Table Rendering - Row level vs Column level

Normally renderers are specified for a given class of data or column of data.
So, how would you handle rendering requirements that are row or table dependent? For example, how do I:
a) color alternate lines in a table
b) change the border of the selected cell
Traditional Approach
Most answers in the forum would be something like "use a custom render". Sounds great, but what does it really mean? If all your data is displayed as a String then it really isn't too difficult to create a single renderer with the required logic and add it to the table as the default renderer.
However, what if you table contains, String's, Dates, Integer's, Double's and Boolean's and you want your cell to retain the default formatting of each data type in addition to the above requirement? Now you have two options:
a) render by class (multiple renderers). Each renderer would need to implement the default "formatting" of the data (dates: dd-MMM-yyy, numbers: right justified, etc) in addition to the "row/table" rendering requirements. So the answer really becomes "use five custom renderers". Now the "row/table" rendering code is found in 5 classes. Of course you could always move the "row/table" rendering code up to a common base class.
b) render by table (single renderer). A single custom renderer would be created and would need to implement the default "formatting" for all data types in the table, in addition to the "row/table" rendering. The benefit is that all the rendering code is in one class. An example solution is include for this approach.
Alternative Approach
I recently came across an approach where the "formatting" of the data is still done by the default renderers and the "row/table" rendering is done at the table level by overriding the prepareRenderer() method. This approach is much simpler, but the rendering is done in two different places. Is this a problem?
So, my question is which approach do you prefer:
a) Traditional Approach - multiple renderers
b) Triditional Approach - single renderer
c) Alternative Approach
Me, I like the alternative approach, but I'm more of a problem solver than I am a designer, so I don't know how the solution fits in a large scale application.
Hopefully your response will consider:
a) OO design principles
b) class reusability
c) class maintenance
d) anything else you can think of

        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
        frame.setVisible(true);
}Before you make your final decision. What changes would be required for each solution in the following "what if " scenarios:
a) what if, you added a Boolean column to the table
b) what if, you added a second Double column to the table which should be formatted as a currency (ie. 1,234.5 --> $1,234.50).
Here is an example of a currency renderer:
class CurrencyRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer
     private NumberFormat formatter;
     public CurrencyRenderer()
          super();
          formatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
          setHorizontalAlignment( SwingConstants.RIGHT );
     public void setValue(Object value)
          if ((value != null) && (value instanceof Number))
               value = formatter.format(value);
          super.setValue(value);
}
