Tabular form with editable items like Lov?

Hi everybody
I want to know if it's possible to make a tabular report / form where one column isn't a text field but a List of values. In other words, I'd like to edit the type of some columns of the tabular form, but in the Edit page doesn't appear a list of items like in the normal form pages.
Can you help me with this? I'm still a newbie with APEX!

I think you should read the manuals first. You can edit a report / tabular form and change
the type of the column - in the report attributes.

Select item on a Tabular form with a different dynamic LOV on each row

I would like to use a tabular form where one of the columns is a dynamic LOV based Select, and where that dynamic LOV refers to one of the column values on each row.
So if the tabular form represented a list of teams and the LOV-based Select column was the current team leader, I would want that select list to be populated only with the members of that team (different for each row). Since the list of team members is in some other table (all_players or something) I would want to populate the LOV with a query with a where clause that selected only those players records with a team-membership equal to the current tabular form's team id. So, on each row that select list's contents would be different.

I'm beating a dead horse here but I did get something to work with "less" code. My current needs do not require me to cascade drop downs, I only want 1. You can use the query like the in the first reply (but I don't have a table with joins) I created a simple two column table dept_emp with 4 records 10,null 20,null .... I want to fill the nulls with an employee but ONLY an employee that matches the dept. (Same concept of team leader and members).
Here's the query:
select apex_item.display_and_save(1,dept) dept,
apex_item.select_list_from_query(2, name, 'select ename from emp where deptno='||dept) name
from dept_emp
I removed the code that was there already (ApplyMRU) and just put in this code:
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
UPDATE dept_emp
SET
name=HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F02(i)
WHERE dept=to_number(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
END LOOP;
END;
The G_F01 matches the column 1 and so forth. There's more documentation but little explanation at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25309/api.htm#sthref2171
The thing I could not get to work was a dynamic message
#MRU_COUNT# row(s) updated, #MRI_COUNT# row(s) inserted.
Not sure when the MRU_COUNT gets populated (probably in the routine I removed ;))
You're probably way past me by now but I like to have as little code as possible when it comes to maintaining an app. That's why I liked oracle forms so much. This kind of stuff was pretty easy to do.
Thanks again everybody!

I solved it.
I modified a bit my code "On load Page". In case of LOV i have changed this condition
if (l == undefined) {
          document.wwv_flow.f03.disabled = true;
      }with this
if (l == 105) {
          document.wwv_flow.f03.disabled = true;
      }I don't know why 105 instead of undefined, but this works. I give 105, with alert on length.

Tabular form with non base table field

I want to develop a tabular form with
1. A non-base table edit field to accept a value
2. Insert/update another table based on the input value
3. Also, computed field on each row based on other fields on the records (like post-query trigger in oracle forms at block level - for each row)
Thanks,
Rachna

Thanks for your reply.
Varad, I like the link you sent me. It has a lot of good information.
I created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process" that dosn't seem to be working.
Question, I created a manual tabular form with SQL Query and created a process (under page processing) called "Update/Insert Process", then I check for each record in the tabular form. If the old value <> new value then I update/insert in the new table.
Any step by step will be highly apprciated - to create process/validation etc.
Thanks,
Rachna

Tabular form with select list not updating

I have created a tabular form with a dynamic select list
select primary_key, column1,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(10,column2, 'select descr d, column_value r from lookup_table where column_value = '||column1) column2
from main_table
The select list appears to work correctly but the new value is not saved to the database. I assume this is because the tabular form element display as field for column2 is set to "standard report column" but when I select any of the "display as text" or "LOV" options either the current data is not displayed or errors are generated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Ian,
As you have seen, sorting on the project_manager_id column will sort by the id value rather than the textual value. This is, of course, because this is the value in the field.
I haven't tried this out, but one thing that may work is the fact that you don't have to include the ORDER BY fields within the SELECT statement. You could, for example, do:
select p.project_number, p.project_manager_id
from projects p, users u
where p.project_manager_id = u.id (+)
order by u.name
Obviously, you won't be able to do this in the existing statement as you would then be blocked from using column sorting. However, it implies that if you could construct the SQL statement dynamically, appending appropriate ORDER BY strings to the end of the base select statement, you could sort by anything you like. This does, of course, mean that you would have to create a mechanism to allow the user to select the sort order, generate the appropriate string and reconstruct the entire sql statement.
I had had a similar request quite a while ago. The underlying reason for that request turned out to be that the user just wanted to quickly locate records relating to one person. In the end, we agreed that a search filter was the best thing to do.

Andy

Popup window for tabular form row edition

To edit existing or new rows in a tabular form (page 1), I would like to open a popup window (page 2) with fields mirroring original tabular form fields. So, some basic data can be viewed/typed in the tabular form and the whole of the record data are viewed/typed on a separate popup form.
On opening popup, I pass a tabular form's current line number (filled with up to three zeros on the left).
When the user clicks on OK button on popup page, data will be put to the corresponding tabular form row. That should allow me to get /set tab form data from popup using following syntax:
opener.document.getElementById('f04_' + line).value
However, when I call data-initialization javascript function on onload of the popup form, popup fields to be filled are not rendered yet. At which point (and how) could I call this javascript initialization function?
Another question. With Firebug Inspector, I see that right in front of each tab form data tag, there is a "label" tag with the name of the column as it was defined in report attributes. As long as I have a information, opener.document.getElementById, what HTML/Javascript syntax should I use to get to this label tag?
Igor

OK, the first part of question is OK now. Simply, I was putting a javascript code calling my initialization predure in the HTML Body Attribute section of the page, instead of simply writing there: onload="initFunction();"
The second one stands still: once I have a tabular form's element id like f20_0003, how can I get to the symbolic name, e.g., "FIRST_NAME", that is in the label tag in the same table cell?

Tabular form with onhover comment column

Hi guys!
I was wondering if anyone of you saw an example of onhover item help with query...I mean..lets imagine a tabular form with a text field Comment column. Comment column has width 50 but we all know that comment ale like to be long ;) I'd like to see full lenght comment every time I put my mouse pointer on a specific row. Is it possible ? If yes can you show me an example or point me in a good direciton...(I dont know javascript well..)
With regards,
PsmakR

PsmakR,
Yes it is possible. Currently the ShowPopup script displays the value of current cell (hv_item.value). You can just simply replace with whatever you like.
If you're talking about the value of other columns, you may have to use document.wwv_flow.fXX to refer to it. Again, see my other sample of [Tabular Form Column Read-only|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=57043:4] . Patrick Wolf wrote about this as well in his [ Which Tabular Form Column is mapped to which Apex_Application.g_fxx array|http://www.inside-oracle-apex.com/which-tabular-form-column-is-mapped-to-which-apex_applicationg_fxx-array/] .

How to build a tabular form with a by the user insertable primary key

I have build a build a tabular form with the wizzard. Wat should I do to make the primary key insertable by the user.
When I change the PK from 'hidden' to 'text field', I get a checksum error when i am trying to insert.

Fred: When you use the tabular form wizard, notice the help text on the right hand side of each page. The help page where you define the type of primary key (Existing trigger, PL/SQL function, existing sequence) clearly states
Tabular forms do not support user entered primary key values
Makes sense when you think about it. The MRU process needs to determine whether to update a record or insert a new record. It does that by comparing the checksums (and/or) pk values from when the page was first rendered and then when you make changes and submit it. Newly inserted rows will have a blank PK/checksum.
If you allow user to change the PK, how will the system know which rows are new and which ones are old?
For example, lets say you have
create table t
pk int primary key,
data varchar2(10)
)You have 2 rows
1 red
2 yellow
If the PK were to be editable, user could go in and change the above to
2 red
1 yellow
Now what? Would you like the system to create a new row with 1/yellow or change the existing pk=1 row to yellow? Same with the other row.
Bottom line: The built-in processes dont support this. You can always write your own manual tabular form and implement whatever you logic you wish in your After Submit processes.
Hope this helps.

Tabular form (select list Query based LOV)

Hi all,
I have this situation:
a tabular form with two "select list (query based LOV)" fields.
The first one must affect elements in the second one. And so the second query based LOV field should has a "where attr1 = first_list_selected_value" in the query.
Is this possible ? Could you show me some advices ?
thanks in advance.

OK, thank you.
But maybe I wasn't too clear.
I need cascading LOV for each row of my tabular form.
I have a EMP tabular form
select
"ROWID",
"EMPNO",
"ENAME",
"JOB",
"MGR",
"HIREDATE",
"SAL",
"COMM",
"DEPTNO"
from "#OWNER#"."EMP" I need a Select List for DEPTNO for each record of table. After set a value, the second "Select List" for ENAME should be affected automatically.

ADD ROW in tabular form with new max value for a certain field

All,
I have a tabular form with an 'ADD ROW'-button.
When a row is added the field 'TemplateID' should get
automatically a new value which is MAX from TEMPLATEID + 1.
I would be very glad, if someone has a hint for me.
Thanks in advance,
lucio

Hi
the cause of not seeing the 'Default Item Field' is,
that during creation of a 'Tabular Form' the column with the
primary key doesn't get that feature, why so ever.
I still hope that someone could give me a hint why that code isn't working:
function SetNewID(vDBID)
v_check = $v('P20_MAX_TEMPLATEID');
pNd = $u_Carray(vDBID);
     for(var i=0;i<pNd.length;i++){
          var node = $x(pNd);
          node = $x_Check_For_Compound(pNd[i])
          var lTr = $x_UpTill(node,'TR');
updateRow = lTr.rowIndex - 1;
document.wwv_flow.f02[updateRow].value=$v(v_check)
Many thanks in advance

Custom Tabular Form with working days by quarter

Hi All, I'm trying to create an application to improve an old excel that some people use in my office. I came across a challenge: create a page when a user can submit for each business day the amount of hours worked, the real problem is that I have to show on the same page 40 business days that need to be dynamic, I mean that there is a "period" table that has a start date and end date, the range between those two MINUS the Saturdays and Sundays should be the amount of COLUMNS that the report show.
create table CT_PERIOD(
PERIOD_ID VARCHAR2(6),
PERIOD_FY VARCHAR2(4),
PERIOD_QUARTER VARCHAR2(1),
PERIOD_START_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_END_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_DAY_COUNT NUMBER,
insert into ct_period values ('1', 'FY14', 'Q1', to_date('01-JUN-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), to_date('25-AUG-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 56);
commit;
I searched in the web for some example of this with no luck, if somebody did something like this or knows where I can see an example that would be great!
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I'm having exactly the same problem, I need a tabular form with days as columns to add actual working hours for each day as for each row ( task)

Bug: 4.1.1 Tabular form with all columns conditional

I need to make all the columns in a tabular form conditional because in some situations the editable elements should not be shown. For some reason just changing the columns to conditional stops the form working, the ApplyMRU/ApplyMRD process runs but does not action the changed rows. I can't figure out why at all or any workaround.
You can easily reproduce this in 4.1.1 by creating a tabular form with the wizard selecting one column in the form. Then make the row selector colunn and your editable column conditional using the plsql expression 1=1. The form is displayed the just the same with these true conditions but it doesn't work. How weird is that?
Rod West

Rod,
In your scenario the tabular form rendering engine is unable to place the hidden, internal tabular form status columns in your form, i.e. the columns that contain checksums, etc. The logic that places these columns looks for the last unconditional, visible column in your tabular form, and includes the hidden fields there. So you need at least one column that's always shown for this to work. This can be an otherwise empty column. I filed a bug (#13881803) for this, so we can look into improving this logic.
Regards,
Marc

ORA-01446 Tabular Form with CONNECT BY LEVEL =2

I created a tabular form where I would like the last 2 lines to be blank so the user can enter new rows immediately (e.g., the first time when no data is found).
The following is the sql for the tabular form:
select
"ID",
"REQ_ID",
"QUANTITY",
"FRAME_SIZE",
"FRAME_TYPE",
"PROTECTIVE_COVERING",
"MATT",
"MATT_COLOR"
from "#OWNER#"."CREATIVE_SVC_DESIGN_FRAMING"
union all
select
null id,
null req_id,
null quantity,
null frame_size,
null frame_type,
null protective_covering,
null matt,
null matt_color
from dual
connect by level <= 2 I get the following error:
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
The query is not accessing ROWID from a view at all. And, as you can see, it is not using a DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc..
My APEX is Application Express 4.0.2.00.07
My Database is 10g (10.2.0.5.0)
Please help!!

Robert,
I wish I had a better explanation for you, but I know something new with 4.1 broke this union trick for tabular forms. I had to make a dynamic action that runs on page load and calls the addRow() javascript function instead. I think it has something to do with tabular form validation but I am not sure.
Cheers,

HTMLDB 2.0 bug - tabular forms - select list from named LOV

Hi!
Changing a column in a tabular form to 'select list (named lov)' gets the following error in HTMLDB 2.0 when you try to add a row (to an empty table in my case):
PL/SQL error at column 133.
Create a table and then create a tabular form on it. Then change a report column to be a 'select list (named lov)'. Save and run the form and the error occurs.
Thanks!

Problems with editing items in ical

I use ical with icloud on my Imac, Ipad and 3 Iphones.
When i change an item on one of these devices and you press OK, you get to see your edited item for just a few seconds before ical changes the item back tot its old settings.
So lets say you want to change the time of an item in your agenda from 12.00 to 02.00 for example, it will show your changes for a few seconds before the item is back on 12.00 again.
This does not happen all the time. I thought it had something to do with editing items while ical is synchronizing but when you wait till its finished synchronizing it still happends sometimes. Eventually after editing the **** item 3 -5 times ical approves the changes but **** its annoying when you are in a hurry or dont have time to check up after you edited an item and it changes back without you seeing it.
All devices have had their latest updates and are all connected to the internet either by 3G, WiFi or LAN.
Anyone has an idea about how this is possible?
Thanks

Sorry I am having terrible trouble with even working out how to reply to these forums. I use photoshop elements 8 (and I have also tried Gimp) as I cannot afford CS5. The photo seem to be edited as TIFF and they do get imported. The photos seem to stack, but I am unable to open the stack to view the edited image - I thought when you click the stack it should expand and show all the editions of the photos next to each other. Sometimes - rarely - this works, but most of the time only the original raw file shows up. The crazy thing is even searching for the filename.tif doesn't find the file, even when I copy and paste the file name from Windows Explorer. But the edited file is in the catalogue somewhere because after deleting the original, the edited file shows up as above.
I dread having to edit the files in PE8 because of this, but sometimes this is necessary to be able to use layers and filters.
Note that using Gimp is just the same. I think the problem is in Lightroom.
