Using setTimeout function in APEX

Hi,
I am trying to show a print dialog box after which I need to take confirmation from the user whether the printout has come fine or not. For acheving this I am trying to use setTimeout in javascript which is not working. The confirmation box is coming before print dialog box which I do not want to happen.
Below is the code I am writing in APEX
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript1.1" type="text/javascript">
function updatePrintFlag()
var print_flag = confirm("Has the printout come fine?");
if(print_flag==true)
alert('Printout has come fine. Updating in the database');
function callPrint()
window.print();
var sleep = setTimeout(updatePrintFlag(),2000);
alert(print_flag);
</script>
</head>
<body onload='callPrint()'>
<font size=2>Asking confirm after 2 Secs of print dialog box</font>
</body>
</html>
Please help me in this issue. Thank you.
Regards
Dev

Using packaged functions in Apex

Hi,
I'm fairly new to apex and I am about to write an app which needs to access a SQL server database. My local dba has set up the transparent gateway and I can select from and update the SQLServer database no problem via a db link. What I need to decide is whether to code the sql for reports etc directly into the apex page or to call a pl/sql function returning a select statement. I would like to have all the code in packages as a lot of it will be used by multiple apps in future but is there any extra overhead in doing this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
select package.function into l_sql from dual;
return l_sql;
end;
rather than coding the SQL directly in the page? Also is there a more efficient way of using packaged functions to select data rather that just have it returning sql statements.
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Hi
I only use function returning select when I have a strong reason to do so, because it is so much more difficult to test and maintain. Not sure about performance, but I think it is not that much worse.
If you simply want to reuse SELECT statements, you could use views instead.
Anyway, if you decide to use the package solution, at least you can make it much simpler -- just code like this in the page:
return package.function;
I hope this helps.

Unable to edit some functions in APEX Sql Workshop

When we press edit we get cursor in the code area and can edit some procedures, But for some procedures when we click edit we don't get cursor in the code area and we are not able to edit the functions/procedures.
I am using fairfox browser.This is happening with only some. Is there any security.grants issue???

Hi
This is happening with some procedures, For others this works fine.In IE I get red block in code area.
EDIT is working for some procedures so I think may not be the browser issue.

Using a function in a report query

Why can't I call a function (basically a query) in a report query like I can from from SQL?
Consider the following:
Select MyFunctionName(arg) from dual;
From SQL, it works great! No problem:
In a report query, [Application/Shared Components/Report Queries] It doesn't work. I get an XML error:
XML Parsing Error: not well formed
<MyFunctionName('arg')><?xml version="1.0"?>
----------------------^
Why?
Looks like APEX is not even executing the function...
See I have a table with a CLOB field that contains properly formatted HTML. I cannot simply query for that content, since Oracle escapes the tags in the conversion to XML. I have to (somehow) tell Oracle to keep it's grubby mitts off my CLOB content. As far as I can tell, using DBMS_XMLGEN.setConvertSpecialChars is the only way to keep Oracle from escaping the html stored in the table--in fact, the DBMS_XMLGEN documentation states that it why this functionality exists in the first place!
This is why I am trying to use a function. Simply queries don't work. The function I wrote works beautifully in SQL, but not in a report query...
Edited by: Vorlon on Aug 5, 2010 1:20 PM

Note from the first post:
"In a report query, [Application/Shared Components/Report Queries]" Let me clarify: This report query is used in a BI Publisher report. Getting the information to the screen isn't the problem. I have that working. :-) It's just when I try to get the report to print that I see APEX has escaped the output before reaching BI Publisher--so BI Publisher is not the issue. I have a xsl template that will process the embedded HTML, but APEX is escaping my data before I can act on it. In other words:
It seems Apex is not creating the XML properly, since it escapes everything. Even when the function passes back data correctly.
Has anyone else seen this? Ideas for a workaround?
Thanks!

Help in setTimeout function

I want to pass the argument in the function called in
setTimeout function.
Below is the code snippet.
public function
histogramDataPointClick(dataPointObj:Event):void
var duration:Number = 5000;
setTimeout(executeEvent(dataPointObj),duration);
public function executeEvent(dataPointObj:Event ):void
var index:int;
var message:String;
message="";
selectedDataPoint1=dataPointObject.currentTarget.series;
for(var i:int = 0; i<
selectedDataPoint1[0].selectedIndices.length; i++)
index=selectedDataPoint1[0].selectedIndices
message = message+"

Alert.show("Selected Trial Phase"+message);
dispatchEvent(new Event("histogramDataPointClick"));
If I am trying to do that then I am facing error
1067:Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type
Function.
error 1067
can anybody help me in that?
Thanks

try:
setTimeout(executeEvent, duration, dataPointObject);
setTimeout () function
public function setTimeout(closure:Function, delay:Number,
... arguments):uint
Runs a specified function after a specified delay (in
milliseconds).
Instead of using this method, consider creating a Timer
object, with the specified interval, using 1 as the repeatCount
parameter (which sets the timer to run only once).
If you intend to use the clearTimeout() method to cancel the
setTimeout() call, be sure to assign the setTimeout() call to a
variable (which the clearTimeout() method will later reference)
Parameters closure:Function — The name of the function
to execute. Do not include quotation marks or parentheses, and do
not specify parameters of the function to call. For example, use
functionName, not functionName() or functionName(param).
delay:Number — The delay, in milliseconds, until the
function is executed.
... arguments — An optional list of arguments that are
passed to the closure function.

Using setTImeout to create effect of dealing cards

As my code stands right now, I can deal cards to the proper
location and move at a steady speed, but they all move at the same
time. Now, I want to add the effect of them being dealt by using
the setTimeout method to offset the times they are dealt. However,
when I call the setTimeout method, it only works on the last card
and jumps the card to its destination instead of slowly moving it
there as if it were dealt. Figure A shows my working code without
the setTimeout method, and Figure B shows my code with the
setTimeout method.
I have a hunch that it is not working either because it
overwrites the myTimeout variable that holds the setTimeout id, or
because of the this (i may need to create an empty movie clip on
the root timeline to hold the value of setTimeout) in the
setTimeout line, but I do not know why it removes my tween effect.
My motion code can be seen in FIGURE C.

By the way, these function are members of my TexHoldem class.
I've read a bunch of posts about how to use the setTimeout
function, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly inside of a
class.
In my latest attempt, I tried creating a controller that
would hold the instances of the timeouts incase they were
overwriting themselves on the timeline, but I get the same results.
Here is that code (snippet of entire code, under if (seat >=10)
statement in distributeHoleCards function.
I've also tried to create an array which would store the
intervals so they would not be destroyed, but still no luck.

Carl / Vikas - a question on JS highlight_row() function in ApEx

Hi,
Based on the function from APEX provided by Vikas here for highlighting rows - see:
More tha one report with row selector in the same page,
- all works fine but with the way I would like to use it, I have found a slight problem.
Basically have a tabular report with checkboxes where the user can click a checkbox on or off but I also have a 'Check All' checkbox that I have incorporated with this highlight row solution and all works fine.
Now, if I first click on a row in the tabular report which highlights the one row and then I decide I want to 'Check All' checkboxes which checks all the records and highlights them as well and then decide to uncheck the 'Check All' checkbox, all checkboxes are set to unchecked but the indivudual row I clicked on first still remains with the hightlighted colour - the rest are reset.
How can I return it back to the original colour prior to highlight_row() function firing?
Thanks.
Tony.

The out of the box row selector on a out of the box tabular form does this fine
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:219
Click the checkbox on individual rows, that row gets highlighted
Click the Check all checkbox, all the rows get highlighted
Uncheck the Check all checkbox, all rows get unhighlighted, no residual effects.
So, are you working with a manually built tabular form? Give us more details or try to post an example on apex.oracle.com

Email function in apex

Hi I am trying to use email notification built in function of apex(4.1.1) to so that it take the email address from the form entered by user and then send a 4 digit random number as and authentication to login /validate the email entered.
i tried sending many emails since morning but none of them received as if now..
any clue ?

new new wrote:
not working ,Why did you mark it as correct answer if you cannot get it to work??
And the fact is that you cannot run the apex_mail API directly outside the APEX session, you need to set the context before calling it.
APEX documentation
begin
l_workspace_id := apex_util.find_security_group_id (p_workspace => 'PROJECTS');
apex_util.set_security_group_id (p_security_group_id => l_workspace_id);Finally did you ever know that there a thing called APEX documentation, if yes please search the documentation and the forum first

Adding setTimeout function to toplevel.as file in CS3?

Hello Forum
I am moving my actionscript 2 files to the CS3 environment. I
have used in flash 8 the setTimeout function quite frequently. I
added the following line to the toplevel.as file:
intrinsic function setTimeout():Number;
And this would make the compiler happy... in flash 8 at
least... Flash CS3 gives me the old "no method with setTimeout"
error...
Is there another file that I need to modify so that the
compiler accepts the regular setTimeout() function?
Thanks
stephank

so adding the intrinsic line to the toplevel.as file doesn't
do it anymore? I remember that the _global version always worked
but I'd rather not have to dig through all my files to rewrite that
setTimeout function... I had a feeling 3 years ago that this might
come back and haunt me...
or is there another file that needs to be modified so the
compiler doesn't complain?

Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide

Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide-
turned on sensor in phone settings, but when i touch the PHONE it does not work.
Please, tell me how use this function or maybe my phone is out of order

As long as your Sensor Settings are On within Menu, Settings, Phone, Sensor Settings then you just need to do the following -
Tapping
The tap function allows you to quickly
mute and reject calls and alarm tones, and
to display a clock just by double-tapping
the back or front of the phone when the
slide is closed.
Select Menu > Settings > Phone >
Sensor settings to activate the tap
function and vibration feedback.
Mute calls or alarms
Double-tap the phone.
Reject a call or snooze an alarm after
muting it
Double-tap the phone again.
Display the clock
Double-tap the phone.
(If you have missed calls or received new
messages, you must view them before you
can see the clock.)
Simply, if you double tap the screen when the slide is closed and you can see the clock appear then it is working.
I hope this makes it clearer for you.

Can we use Evaluate function in Prompt

Hi all
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt?
I need some exposure on how to use it.
I am working on a HRMS-OLTP Source where I need to work with Oracle Functions from OBIEE.
IF somebody can tell me that, It will be a favour for me....
ThanQ
Anand V

Hi All,
Here's an example of how to use evaluate. This use calls the Oracle TO_DATE function: EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)' as DATE, '03/03/2009', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Here's how it works: EVALUATE( '<FUNC>' AS <DATATYPE>, VALUE1,VALUE2,etc)
FUNC) Is the syntax for the function you are calling. Any parameters have to be replaced by %<number>, where number refers to the order in which you specify your parameters.
DATATYPE) The datatype that the function will evaluate to. In this case, DATE.
VALUE1) The latter part of the formula is a comma separated list of all the parameters used in the function. In this case, it's the date I want to cast
VALUE2) This is the second parameter. You need as many as you referenced in your function. In this case, it's the date format.
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!
Best regards,
-Joe

Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt

Hi
Can anybody tell me
Can we use Evaluate Function in Dashboard Prompt.
If yes...How
Thanks in Adv

Yes ! You Can!
while creating the dashboard prompt, under "Show" pick SQL results and you write the SQL statement and include the EVALUATE function.
I have several such examples. Most of of dashboard pages are parameter driven.
1. 1st paratmeter - users specify the dates
2. 2nd parameter - constrains the results for the period specified in 1st paramter and my SQL for 2nd paramter looks like this -
SELECT table1.column1
FROM table, datedim1, table1,table2
WHERE datedim1.date BETWEEN EVALUATE( 'TO_DATE(%1,%2)','@{presentation variable1}','dd/mm/yyyy') AND EVALUATE('TO_DATE(%1,%2)', '@{presentation variable 2}','dd/mm/yyyy')
