Validate from list pops up the LOV

Hi, everybody.
I have a text item attached to a LOV and the validate from list property is set to YES.
Despite this, i just write into the text item the text '01' .
Anytime i use go_block('my_block') the LOV pops up and asks me to choose again the value for my text item from the LOV .
Is this because my text item is connected to the first column of the LOV and
the first column of the LOV has more than one values of '01' in the list, more than one record that has the first column '01'.
In case this is the reason, how can i solve this to avoid poping up of the LOV.

Ok.But all i want to do, is not to show my LOV.
If i set validate from list=NO, my LOV doesn't show.
I still want to validate from list but only in the cases when i put a value that is not in the LOV.
in this case i put a value that actually is in the LOV, so the LOV should not show.
I don't understand why LOV shows when the value i put in the text item is equal to one of the values of the LOV, only that the LOV contains this value more than one time.

Validate from list, do not open lov if value already in lov

Hi,
I have an item and want to validate value from Lov because do not need a code in w-v-i trigger. i set property validate from list for the item to yes but when executing the lov opened even if i entered a value which already exists in lov. i thought that validate from list to yes triggers the list only if value do not exist in the list. i do not want list to open if value already exists in the list. Can someone help me with this? Thanks for your ideas.

It only opens the Lov when the value not not unique, e.g. you have two equal entries in the lov. Also be aware that the validation is done against the first visible item in the lov.

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.

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.

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 !

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 ,

Validate from list

Hello everybody !!
I've a Lov attached to text-item with validate from list property "yes". I fill the text-item who has the lov attached and lov works very well , but when I create another record the trigger "when-validate-record" fires and the lov validate once again for the same record. How can I avoid this ?

You probably set the name of the country in the POST-QUERY trigger. If so, set the status of the trigger record to QUERY_STATUS after doing this.

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.

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 property of dynamically attached LOV

Dear Oracle Gurus,
I have multi record block , the fields are Argument_name,Argument_Code ,argument_lov
displaying two fields . data is populated at run time
user has to input for the argument_value according to the argument_name displayed
it may look like
Argument_name Argument_value
Date of Join User has to input
Branch office user has to select from a LOV
Dept User has to select from a LOV
the LOV's underlying Select statement will fetch data from a table based on other field Argument_Code
The LOV is attached dynamically for each row based on a value for the field argument_lov value will be Y or N
IF value for a argumet is Y , the LOV is attached with SET_ITEM_PROPERTY in the When NEW RECORD INSTANCE Trigger
when user moves to the argument Date of join there will be no lov and the user has to type out the data
whereas for the argument Branch Office , user can select from a LOV
now the user has to press the F9 key to invoke the Lov and then select
whereas we wanted in this way.. that the user can type the first character and the value automatically get selected
if the user types wrong data then the LOV to be displayed
For this we used the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY with VALIDATE_FROM_LIST, Property_true in the same trigger.
we have record validation trigger at the block level .
But it didnt work out exactly when ever the user moves from a record having LOV after selecting. the other field which is not having a LOV displays a lov with values belonging to another field and asks to select from the list . For example the date of join field displays the lov for dept and asks to input
please guide me in this regard
with warm regards

LOV Validate from list Issue!!!

When the form is in 'Enter_Query' mode, the lov will not validate information entered into the fields. When I cancel the query, the information entered in the fields is then validated against the lov correctly. Is there a way to remedy this?
I did set the validate_from_list property to true and it had no effect.

Validate_From _List property is only helpful during data entry. During enter-query mode, the user is searching records using a qualifier. If the user wants to make sure that his qualifier is valid, he should press the function key to display the LOV.

In the Firefox Downloads dialog box, does the option "Remove from List" mean that the selected download will be deleted? (I want to delete it.)

I am using Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3, on a Dell_GX620. I went to the Addictedtoradio.com website that I had used on my Samsung phone yesterday for the first time. I was able to play 1980's music on the phone without any special adaptations to the phone. I tried to do the same on my home computer. I went to the website but when I tried to access the music, it directed me to download a file, Xvidinstall.exe, and I did that. It is described as 382 kb - totalvidplayer.com. I am using AVG Anti-virus free edition that is supposed to protect my computer when web browsing. However, once I had downloaded the file, I got the standard Windows message that it is an executable file that might contain viruses that could harm my computer. At this point I began to wish that I had not downloaded it, I don't want to take the risk. I'll get my music another way. I have not opened the download but I assume it is now on my computer and I want to get rid of it, without opening it. When I right-click on this file (in the Firefox downloads list), one of the options is "Remove from list". There is no "Delete" option. If I remove it from the list, will it be deleted? Or will it still be present on my computer but just not shown in the list? I would like to remove it from my computer because it might contain viruses. How can I be certain to remove it safely?

The remove from list just removed it from Firefox's download list, the file will still be on your computer. You'll have to find wherever you download the file to on your PC (right click it in Firefox's download manager and click "Open Containing folder") and delete it there to remove it from your computer.

How do I create a URL to filter a view when the value I have from list one is the ID that was used by list 2 to pull in the list 1 title?

My list "Tasks" has an record with Title = "Build SSIS for Duke Energy" and its ID is 1. Then I have a list "Journal" where I have tracked entries related to the progress of the task. When I create the Journal entries I passed
in the ID of the task 1 which then pulled the title into the Journal's Associated task lookup column. Now I'd like to have a column in the Tasks list that would have a URL to take me to all journal entries related to the Task. But passing in the ID 1 of the
task does not work.
If the lookup column has the actual Title from the task in all the time and it is not dynamically pulled every time the list is queried shouldn't I be able to filter on the Title e.g. "Build
SSIS for Duke Energy"

I ended up going with a workflow to build the URL and sending the title to the look-up column.
I tried the script at that site and ran into several problems. It didn't work with views that were grouped, the calculated links did not show on the edit and view forms. I assume those forms would have to be changed to run the script also.
In addition to, I have to add a CEWP to each view and I was also losing the "Items" and "List" options (next to "Browse") from the ribbon until I clicked around in the list.
What are the downfalls of a workflow? I ask because many people default to using a similar TextToHTML script like you mentioned.

Fetch a column value from list 2 on the basis of list 1

Hi,
I have a listA of user data in which the columns are:
UserID   Name    Email
E01        Ali        [email protected]
E02        John     [email protected]
In another listB there are multiple columns but one column is same that is "Name" and another column like UserID.
So on the basis of Name if the name is available in ListA then get UserID of that particular name and show in listB UserID column.
In both lists user detail is coming from active directory.
Using List web service I fetched details in the form to show in listB UserID.
I tried to matched the Name column of ListA with ListB all occurances then I got nothing but when matched the Name column of ListA with ListB any occunces then every time got E01 if I search Ali or John.
I know a little tuning is required but lost so much time and couldn't figured it out.
Please guide me using the same technique as most of the work has been done.
If any other simple idea is available then that also would be appreciated.
One more thing that I used a people picker to populate user detail in ListB. So when I search user details all the fields gets populated and the ListB UserId field should also populate.
Thanks in Advance

Hello,
Following is a code sample which I am using:
        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
        Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
        Dim oChooseFromList As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
        Dim oConditions As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
        Dim oCondition As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
        Dim CodeType As Integer
        Try
            oForm = oPayOn.SBO_Application.Forms.GetForm(CflEvent.FormTypeEx, CflEvent.FormTypeCount)
            oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("AC_MATRIX").Specific
            oChooseFromList = oForm.ChooseFromLists.Item("ACC_CFL1")
            CodeType = oMatrix.Columns.Item("AC_MC00").Cells.Item(CflEvent.Row).Specific.Selected.Value
            oConditions = oChooseFromList.GetConditions
            If oConditions.Count > 0 Then
                oCondition = oConditions.Item(0)
            Else
                oCondition = oConditions.Add
            End If
            oCondition.Alias = "U_CodeType"
            oCondition.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
            oCondition.CondVal = CodeType
            oChooseFromList.SetConditions(oConditions)
        Catch ex As Exception
            'oPayOn.SBO_Application.SetStatusBarMessage(ex.Message, SAPbouiCOM.BoMessageTime.bmt_Medium, True)
        End Try
    End Sub
I am calling this in the CFL event - before action. So when the user clicks on CFL button - but before it opens - this code is called and the condition is applied. Here AC_MC00 is a combo column in a matrix.
