Validate Form List Propert of an Item

Hi all,
i have Problem in AR Module , when i Enter the Invoice in AR i Select the Memo Line and then go in an other Line and use the key Shift+F5 on Description Field and enter same Memo Line , but the Problem is it does not enter Memo Line id and Record is Save , i need to Set Validate from List Property on Permently basics True but it does not update the Property Permently.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I have no code. But if you search this forum you will find examples of how to loop through the elements in a list item. As each element is retrieved you can execute an update or insert into the desired table. This code can go inside a pre-commit trigger.

Forms 6i: Dynamically set Validate from List property

Is there any API to set the VALIDATE FROM LIST property for an item with an LOV in Forms 6i?

How do I make my form (list/menu) items open in the same window (self).

Hello, the kind, brilliant people on this forum have always been able to help me in the past, so I thought I'd give it a try today. Items in a form (list/menu) that I've created are opening in a blank window (pop-up) when clicked. I would like them to open in "self" mode so that pop up blockers on various computers don't become a challenge for site visitors. Can anyone please tell me how I could make that adjustment? I selected the entire form "red dotted line" around the list and changed the "target" in the properties menu to "self". Then I selected everything on the page and still not correct. I am inserting the code below. Any assistance to get me on the right track would be GREATLY appreciated!! BTW I also made the form a library item (just in case that fact is needed). Also if you need to see the actual link it is http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/index.html. The "I WANT TO" list is the part I'm referring to.
CODE BELOW:
<form action="" method="post" name="form1" target="_self" class="style26" id="form1">
                   <a href="#" target="_self"><span class="style26">

Looks like it still isn't working. When I removed those items the drop down menu stopped working as well. I went ahead and posted yours as the correct answer. I'm convinced it's my skill level. i'm gonna do some javascript searches to see where the js code should go, it's very confusing to me. Here is that code in case anything sticks out to you or anyone else.

How to validate a list form?

Hi All,
My requirement is simple, I need to validate a simple list form with some set of conditions.
So decided to deploy application pages and use the code behind to apply the conditions and map the application page to Edit/New form of the list. Can this be done and any references?
Thanks.

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to validate a list form with custom conditions.
If the validation can be achieved by using client side technology such as JavaScript, a suggestion is that you can customize the built-in NewForm/EditForm
of the list and implement your validation there.
It is also a good choice to create a custom application page in this scenario, we can write C# code for the validation and handle the form submission.

Validate Menu List in form.

I was wondering if there is a way to validate a menu or list in a form. ie. at http://www.metrobham.org/register.html I would like to at least make the "Choose One" menu/list a required field as well as the "Age" and "Gender" fields.
Thanks

You can do it quickly and simply with javascript before the information is sent to your php processing script. I've validated the 'Choose One' select, the 'Gender' radio buttons and the 'Age' select. You can do the rest if you want but you will have to look at the code and see how it works. It's not that difficult when you see the pattern forming.

Validate from list (Oracle Forms)

Hi all,
Does anybody know, how to simulate "Validate from List" functionality from the oracle forms with JDeveloper 10.1.3.
The case is for example (Empl, Dept), I want to create a table for the empl showing the empl info plus department name and allow the user assign the empl to a given department using only the name and not the department id.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Validate from list behavior ? help needed

Hi,
I have an item whith a lov attached to and the proerty of the lov is validate from list = yes.
But when a create a record and type the begining of the words eg Jean then when i do key-list-val or F9 the lov returns me all the rows and.
And when i press enter in the field then the lov shows with Jean% and show me only the names beginning with Jean.
Why does it only happen when i press enter and not when doing F9?
Should it not be the same behavior ?
Thanks in advance.
PS: it is quite urgent !
Jean-Yves

Hi ,
When you enters a wrong value into a "Validate from List" Item and hit <ENTER> then validation to make sure that the entered value exists within the List and if it is not there , then the forms engine filters the Shows values as the value entered into the Item as helping you to select from the List cause you have entered ambigious Choise and in case no matched entries it display all the list , but in case you display the LOV normally this means you are trying to select a value then no Pre Serach happened unless you specify (Filter Before Display = true) on the LOV properties ,

LOV validate from list

Hello there,
What factors can be performed for don't validating from list, when having a text item conected by a botton which calls the LOV?
My problem is that I conect properly the text item to the LOV and the LOV to the Record group. At the text item's properties palette, i put YES when asking if validate from list. However, in an enter-query mode, when i insert 'AAA' into the text item, and change the focus, the LOV doesn't appear.
Why?
Thanks to everyone who helps me.
Sorry for my english, i am spanish.

Those other forms use a different form of querying. They probably never go into Enter Query mode, and instead simply query with a where clause something like:
WHERE column_1 = :control_block.item_1 and...
All the forms I write use that format. The user is never allowed to do an Enter Query. They simply enter the control block values (which may or may not have an LOV attached), and then press the Query button.

Use of Validation tab in Dropdown list properties

Hi All,
I have created input form with 2 dropdown fields and submit button. While clicking submit button i need a message if dropdown lists are not selected. So that I have entered one condtion in validation tab in dropdown list properties. But this validation is not working while clicking submit button.
Can you please guide how to use validation in VC?
Thanks,
Venkatesh R

Hi
'Validation Tab' is use to validate the values for that UI control. In case of 'Dropdown list' it is used to show invalid values in perticular cases. Example -
1. You have dropdown list on 'Country' & it is based on fiscal year input.
then
If fiscal year is 2008 values should be X, Y & Z. If value apart from this its invalid. You can configure this with the formula in 'Validation Tab' & if user selects the value apart from theses, system will through the error message as you have set.
Please also look at the link below -
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/47/7a46502823199ae10000000a42189d/frameset.htm
I hope this is what you were looking for, if you want anything else please let me know.

Validate from list problem

I have a form in which i have a non-database item.I attached a LOV to it and have set the validate from list to yes..
but in enter-query mode the list is not getting shown when the value is typed(ie the lov is not shown when the user enters wrong value.validation is not hapenning)
i have even written key-listval.inside which i have given list_values still the LOV is not shown
Any suggestions to get the LOV???

Hi,
You can try to use the when validate-item trigger, which executes when the cursor navigates out of an item, this happens when user press the tab key to navigate to the next item or when clicking in a different item.
Validate from LOV works without any additional code when the form is in normal mode.
When the form is in enter-query mode this won't work, try the key-next-item trigger instead.
check out the forms online help section:
"About defining triggers to fire in Enter Query mode" for more info.

Hugo

Validate from List Property

i created a form and used validate from list property to TRUE for a particluar item which have LOV.But when table hav too many rows (here i hav 18000 rows) getting too slow....Is this problem is common...? If any one hve any idea about this Please help me...
Edited by: pms on Sep 11, 2011 10:31 PM

But when table hav too many rows (here i hav 18000 rows) getting too slow....Is this problem is common...? Yes, this is common when you have a lot of rows returned by your LOV query. In situations like this, it is best to try and reduce the size of the data returned by your LOV. One way of doing this is to enable the Filter Before Display property on the LOV. When enabled, it causes Forms to display a query criteria dialog before displaying the LOV. This too can cause slowness because this option could cause a full table scan to occur. Perhaps a better option would be to make your LOV dependent on other limiting values. For example, if your Form showed a list of all employees in a company you could make your user select limiting data like a department number to help reduce the number of employee records returned by your LOV.

JIK Advanced Validate Form fix

If you use the Advanced Validate Form behavior from the JavaScript Integration Kit and you set it to not stop on first error you will experience compounding error messages. Each time the form is resubmitted, the errors will be duplicated a second, then a third time, etc.
The solution is to add this line of code to the end of the FDK_Validate function:
window[theFormName].ValidateForm = false;

By default the validation scope is item. Forms will validate every item during the commit process. There has to be some validation trigger(with raise form_trigger_failure if it fails) for the item, if the form has to stop during validation in the commit. Otherwise it's going to validate according to it's properties and set the item status to valid. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Validate Form fails

I am using DW MX 2004.
I have three fields in a "form" that I applied "Validate
Form." They are
all text fields. When I applied the "Validate Form", I gave
each a value of
"Required" and "Accept anything". If I look at the code, I
have
onclick="MM_validateForm('title','','R','pub_date','','R','article','','R');return
document.MM_returnValue"
So, all three fields appear as arguments to validate form
function, as they
should.
Now, when I test the code by leaving all three fields blank,
I only get
error messages on the last two, pub_date and article. If I
put data in
pub_date and article, and submit (leaving title blank), I get
an error
message that "Column title cannot be null.", which is
correct, being
returned by the failed Insert SQL..
My question is, why isn't "Validate Form" finding the error
of there not
being any data in the title field?
Thank you...

Start simple. Follow my directions re:selecting the form tag
on the QTS.
Then apply the behavior.

A list of values type item in a based table block

My block is based on a table. An item of the block take the value of a field of the table when the form raises. But this item must be updateable (by selecting a value in a list) and then it must be of the list of value type. And the values in the list of values come from another table (not the based table). Is it possible ? If it is, how can I do this ?
Thank you !

Yes, it's possible. Just use a regular text item. Create an LOV using the LOV wizard. When you define the query for the LOV's record group, enter a statement that selects from the other database table. Set the return value of the appropriate LOV column to be the text item on the form. Finally, assign the LOV to that text item, so that the LOV pops up when the user presses the LOV key with the cursor in that text item. You can also set the LOV so that it automatically displays when the cursor enters the text item.
Just look up LOV in online help if you need more info.

Help with Dreamweaver Validate Form Behavior

Hello,
I'm attempting to use Dreamweaver to validate form fields. This would work quite well except for in this case I'm using custom form code which is coming from Salesforce.com. The issue has been that the Salesforce.com web-to-lead form comes with "name" attributes on every form field item. If I change these names to make the validation look nicer, for example from first_name to First Name, then the web to lead form breaks. Is there another way to utilize Dreamweavers form validation by creating by own names for each form element instead of using "name"? The objective is to give the user something that looks good... like:
First Name is required
Last Name is required
And with the Salesforce custom name fields it ends up looking like:
900000xxxxx213s is required
or
last_name is required
Thanks for any help!

The name attribute of a form cannot contain spaces. That's why the validation behavior breaks.
The Dreamweaver Validate Form behavior is rather crude and well past its sell-by date. Use the Spry Validation widgets instead: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS267C8659-3AEF-4956-8268-E38CA4CAFAD3a .html.
