Text field with AutoComplete is always NULL

Greetings,

I am new to Apex, so I don't know I'm missing something obvious. I use Apex 4.0.1 what I've done is created a form on a page of table and added a new text with page of AutoComplete element. This new field of text does not match a column in the table. What I'm trying to do, is allow the user to use the AutoComplete feature to make a choice. Then when the user submits the page, I want to use the substr function on the value of the field of AutoComplete and fill one of the fields in table. I tried using the PL/SQL functions in validations and calculations, but I found that the autocomplete field value is always NULL. I can access the other fields that are associated with a fine table column. It must be something simple. Thanks for your help.
Page Items
P2_F1  - text field with auto complete. Not associated with a table column
P2_F2 – Text field. Is associate with a table column
This is what I want to do:

Entered this in a validation
begin
if :P2_F1 is not null then
   :P2_F2 := substr(:P2_F1,1,5);
end if;
end;
Thanks again

Hello

In calculations, you must use:

Item name: P2_F2
Type: SQL Expression
Point calculation: after submit
calculation: substr(:P2_F1,1,5)
Condition type: the value of element in the expression is not null
Expression 1: P2_F1

Kind regards

  • Text field with AutoComplete do not store Item Value for Cascading LOV

    Hello

    I have created a form to the APEX 4.2, and two elements on the page have a problem. The first point is a text field with AutoComplete for the PROVIDER. The second element is a list select number that has the PROVIDER as part of waterfall to fill.

    When a user selects one of the values that the field can be seized semiautomatic provider , the value autocomplété should make the selection list produce the numbers respective associated PROVIDER. The problem that I am running is that AutoComplete is not give PROVIDER selection list value is filled.

    For example: if I type 'st' in the PROVIDER field that autocompletes to "steve" is selected, the NUMBER field must interrogate him for the numbers where VENDOR = steve. However, after reviewing the Session State from the PROVIDER element, the contained value is always only "st."



    Here are the settings I have for the field PROVIDER : and NUMBER:

    There should be a way to have the value of the seized field semi-automatic to account for what appears after selecting a value, but I don't know what it is. You can provide any help would be appreciated.

    I think that there is not. If there is, it is not documented.

    You can use the normal text field and Add AutoComplete using jQuery UI and jQuery autocomplete plugin.

  • Apex 4.02 BUG: text field with AutoComplete. wrong help text

    The rest of the wizard for a text field with AutoComplete you reach a screen where you can enter an LOV query. The text of the query box has following help text

    Enter the query that returns the list of values. The query must select two columns in the following order, first a display value then a return value. For example:

    Select ename, empno
    WCP


    When you select two identical columns, remember to use the single column alias, for example:

  • Text field with AutoComplete and refreshing a report

    Hello

    I use Apex 4.0.1 and XE 10 g

    I have a page with the two regions. The first region is a region of HTML with a single field: P331_SELECT_TITLE. The second area contains a report of books.

    Currently, the P331_SELECT_TITLE field is a Select list. This field has an LOV which covers the page field the field in the table:
    Select the TITLE display_value, TITLE return_value
    of LIB_BOOK_T
    order of Upper (TITLE)

    It works very well on a technical level, but the user experience is a problem for slow typers who are bind to type the first words of a book title. If they slowly type the word "Real", they'll get books starting with R, then books beginning with E, etc. I read on the AutoComplete and wanted to use this feature. It seems to work well to set the P331_SELECT_LIST field, but it seems I can't bet seized semiautomatic and the updating of the report working together.

    What I would like to ask you is: Using Autocomplete and the removal of the "return value" on the LOV, have the user type in a part of the title of the book and have this little pop-up window will appear to the user. When the user selects their choice with a click of the mouse, I would like to have the report in the second region update to account for all of the selected book. I tried dynamic actions, but I can't get AutoComplete, a mouse and a refreshment to work together.

    Thanks for taking a peek at this

    Hello!

    Create a dynamic Action:
    event: change
    Selection type: elements
    Agenda:

    Action to be fired
    Action: update
    Selection type: region
    Region:

    In the report query, you filter the results according to the value of your POINT.

  • How to create the equivalent of 'field with AutoComplete text' in a report updated

    I have a region based on a relationship of type "SQL Query (updateable report)". "

    The table that the report is based on a a comment field that users should be able to update.  Currently, it is defined as ' display as '-text field, to allow users to change.

    I want to be able to provide users a standard set of comments from which they can choose, if they wish, OR to put in another comment or to choose a standard comment and change, that is very much like a drop-down list box.

    Other types of fields can be defined as "text field with AutoComplete", which would be fine if I could put it on this area, but in such field, on this type of regions, it is not possible.

    Is it possible that I can create a work around to get the same effect.

    Thank you

    Dave

    Hello

    It turns out that due to my need is satisfied by the standard features.

    I was looking for "offering users a standard set of comments from which they can choose, if they wish, OR to put in another comment or to choose a standard comment and change, IE a lot as a combo box"

    The answer is a Popup LOV.  (As opposed to a Select list).

    Selecting a popup LOV will bring back the text in the field AND ALLOW the EDITION. And if you do not use the context menu, you can always change the field.

    If you want to get AutoComplete on it as well, then try code of Jari.

  • Problems with the filling of a text field with 2 other fields data


    I have 3 domains Tools_1a_pri, Tools_1a_pri_other, Tools_1a_pri_txt.

    Tools_1a_pri is a drop-down list box with a predefined list. One of the options is the 'other '.  If 'Other' is selected, the text Tools_1a_pri_other field becomes visible for users to enter the name of the other tool.

    The Tools_1a_pri_txt is a text field with a calculation that shows a text indicating that no tool has been selected or the Tools_1a_pri & or Tools_1a_pri_other.

    When I select one of the predefined tools, everything works.  When I choose the other, it seems that nothing has changed.  Must I click another field before.  It's confusing for the user.

    Tools_1a_pri validate code
    this.getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").display = event.value is "Other"? Display.visible: display.hidden;

    Computer Tools_1a_pri_txt code
    If nothing is selected, follow these steps
    If (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value.length < 2) {}
    event.target.textColor = color.red

    event.target.textColor = color.black
    GetField("Tools_1a_pri").value = Event.Value + "-" + getField("Tools_1a_pri_Other").value;
    }

    You have made the classic mistake of using the assignment operator in a statement instead of the comparison operator. Change this line:

    To do this:

    } Else if (getField("Tools_1a_pri").value == 'Other') {}

  • Ghost of text for a text field with Add Action

    I have a text field with text ghost. Also, there is a button to add additional text fields. When a user clicks on the 'add an additional text field button' new text field appears but without the ghost of the original text field text. I tried the script of the click event of the button to fire or run:

    textfield.execEvent("ready:form"); or textfield.execEvent("form:ready");

    Why 2 ways? LiveCycle has two ways to present it:

    (1) on the drop-down list for events (e.g. form: ready)

    (2) on the name of the field at the top of the script after box selected event on the menu drop-down (for example textfield.ready:form: :-(Javascript, client)

    Is there a better way to do it? My concern is that if I managed to shoot the event form: ready or ready: shape the event can reset all the text from the original text of default ghost of "Kansas City Royals. Thank you

  • How to add an animation to a text field with two lines?

    I have a text field with two or more lines. Why is it not possible now to apply a text animation?àpe_textfield.jpg

    Animating text, by design, only works on a single line of text.

  • text field with numeric values for sorting

    I'm having a problem my sort. Usually, when the column follows a format, I can use a combination of INSTR and LPAD to sort correctly. In this new case, my columns does not follow a specific format.

    Sample data:
    with t as(
    select 'xxx 10 MG yyy' sortcol from dual union
    select 'xxx 5 MG yyy' from dual union
    select 'xxx 28 MG yyy' from dual union
    select 'aa 10% 12.5 ' from dual union
    select 'aa 6.25% 12.5' from dual union
    select '222 zzz 30/17.5' from dual union
    select '222 zzz 30/5.5' from dual
    )
    select * from t
    
    SORTCOL
    222 zzz 30/17.5
    222 zzz 30/5.5
    aa 10% 12.5 
    aa 6.25% 12.5
    xxx 10 MG yyy
    xxx 28 MG yyy
    xxx 5 MG yyy
    I want to sort the data in the
    222 zzz 30/5.5
    222 zzz 30/17.5
    aa 6.25% 12.5
    aa 10% 12.5 
    xxx 5 MG yyy
    xxx 10 MG yyy
    xxx 28 MG yyy
    I'm trying to replace all numerical values in the string to have 4 digits. For example:

    xxx yyy MG 0010
    xxx yyy MG 0028
    xxx yyy 0005 MG
    0222 zzz 0030/0017.0005
    0222 zzz 0030/0005.0005

    If Oracle will sort correctly digital in the form of text fields. I thought I found the solution with the regular expression:
    select regexp_replace('x10x100x6.5x','([0-9]+)',lpad('\1', 4,0)) from dual
    
    x0010x00100x006.005x
    But the problem is that the backreference in the LPAD overrides the value before it run LPAD. He treats her like the literal string '\1' as oppose to the reference value: 10, 1, 6, and 5. Therefore, LPAD think length is always 2, length ('\1') = 2 instead of length('100') = 3.

    Is there another method to develop all the numbers? Thank you for your time.

    Hello

    You can do with nested REGEXP_REPLACEs:

    SELECT   sortcol
    ,      REGEXP_REPLACE ( REGEXP_REPLACE ( sortcol
                                 , '([0-9]+)'
                              , '000\1'
                              )
                   , '[0-9]+([0-9]{4})'
                   , '\1'
                   )     AS four_digits
    FROM       t
    ORDER BY four_digits
    ;
    

    You probably don't want to display the string converted; you want to just ORDER BY it. It is included in the SELECT clause only if you could see what it was, for the tests.
    Output:

    SORTCOL         FOUR_DIGITS
    --------------- ------------------------------
    222 zzz 30/5.5  0222 zzz 0030/0005.0005
    222 zzz 30/17.5 0222 zzz 0030/0017.0005
    aa 6.25% 12.5   aa 0006.0025% 0012.0005
    aa 10% 12.5     aa 0010% 0012.0005
    xxx 5 MG yyy    xxx 0005 MG yyy
    xxx 10 MG yyy   xxx 0010 MG yyy
    xxx 28 MG yyy   xxx 0028 MG yyy
    

    As you can see, the inner REGEXP_REPLACE adds 3 leading 0 to each number, if she need to 0, 1, 2, or 3. This means that each number will be at least 4 digits, but maybe more. The external REGEXP_REPLACE replaces 4 digits with the last 4 digits only.

    Thanks for posting the sample data in a useful form. The description of the problem was very clear, and it was useful to see that you had already tried and your results on why it does not work. I wish we could mark questions as "Correct." This one was really were.

  • Cannot get 'IN' text field with multiple values.

    I have a text field (P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS) someone would use to enter multiple values (i.e. of the serial numbers). I tested various methods but can't seem to get anything working. I used values such as ' 12929', '19191' or ('11919', ' 19192 ', ' 1111') or 12121,121333.»

    I have to analyze this area after the entrance is and update P11_SERIAL_NUMBER to something like ("121212 ', 121211', '292929'). The report is a SQL query returning the body of a PL/SQL function. I build the query in an anonymous block to something like the following:

    SELECT apex_item.checkbox (1, instance_number) Ins,.
    apex_item. Text(2,i.instance_number) instance_number.
    apex_item. Text(3,i.item_number) item_number.
    description of the apex_item. Text(4,i.Description),
    Serial_number apex_item. Text(5,i.serial_number),
    i.party_name,
    i.status_name
    Cycsi_item_details_v I have
    WHERE i.item_number IN (SELECT v.item_number FROM cycsi_installed_base_v WHERE v.serial_number = i.serial_number v)
    AND i.item_number AS NVL ('%' |') XLA' | ' %','%')
    AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT d.item_serial_number FROM cy_fco_d, d WHERE d.fco_id = 2803 AND d.item_serial_number = i.serial_number) AND i.serial_number IN ('61763 ', ' 61621');

    However, when I enter several values that nothing ever went back to the SUMMIT even though the SQL query returns more rows. I run the application in debug mode and it seems to show the values correctly.

    0.11: show report
    0.12: determine the column headings
    0.12: analyze the query such as: TRAFFIC
    0.15: binding: ": P11_MODEL_NUMBER"= "P11_MODEL_NUMBER" value = "XLA"»
    0.16: binding: ": P5_FCO_ID"= "P5_FCO_ID" value = "2803"»
    0.17: binding: ": P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS"= "P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS" value = '(' 61621', ' 61763')""
    0.19: print the column headings
    0.19: loop lines: 15 rows
    No data found

    If I add only a serial number at a time as the APEX application returns the line correctly.


    Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong or what best way to solve this problem?
    Thank you

    Published by: Jennifer on July 13, 2010 15:23

    Hi John,.

    I just tried a report region based on PL/SQL query encoded using your method to refer to element names in the query string of back:

    declare
       q varchar2(100) := 'select ename, job from emp';
    begin
       if :P2_ENAMES is not null then
            q := q || ' where ename in :P2_ENAMES';
       end if;
    
       wwv_flow.debug('*** Query: ' || q);
    
       return q;
    end;
    

    As I suspected, he did not work for me P2_ENAMES was ('KING') or ('KING', 'SMITH'). I think it's because of the reason for which I gave in my previous post - ApEx passes off the coast of the dynamic execution of SQL string, it does not automatically replace the mention: P2_ENAMES with the value of the element. I don't know how it can work for you.

    If I change the code I proposed:

    declare
       q varchar2(100) := 'select ename, job from emp';
    begin
       if :P2_ENAMES is not null then
            q := q || ' where ename in ' || :P2_ENAMES;
       end if;
    
       wwv_flow.debug('*** Query: ' || q);
    
       return q;
    end;
    

    It works very well if one or several names are specified.

    I took a blow to modify your code for the construction of the query string - does not immediately guarantee, it'll work because I can't test (might be missing a parenthesis or quotation) it but you should get the idea:

    -- start with initial valid query that ApEx can parse to determine column names
    q := 'SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1, instance_number) ins, apex_item.text(2, i.instance_number) instance_number,
                 apex_item.text(3, i.item_number) item_number, apex_item.text(4, i.description) description,
                 apex_item.text(5, i.serial_number) serial_number, i.party_name, i.status_name
            FROM cycsi_item_details_v i
           WHERE i.item_number IN (SELECT v.item_number
                                     FROM cycsi_installed_base_v v
                                    WHERE v.serial_number = i.serial_number)';
    
    -- add model number condition if specified
    if :P11_MODEL_NUMBER is not null then
       q := q || ' AND i.item_number LIKE ''%' || :P11_MODEL_NUMBER || '''%''';
    end if;
    
    -- add serial numbers condition if specified
    if :P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS is not null then
       q := q || ' AND i.serial_number IN (' || :P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS || ')';
    end if;
    
    -- add FCO id condition if specified
    if :P5_FCO_ID is not null then
       q := q || ' AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT d.item_serial_number
                                     FROM cy_fco_d d
                                    WHERE d.fco_id = ' || :P5_FCO_ID || '
                                      AND d.item_serial_number = i.serial_number)';
    

    I know that has focused on getting this code works, but I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't at least mention the risk of SQL injection. You may already know this, but unless you do a good job to validate the values of the element used in the query, you could open yourself up to a SQL injection attack. For example, imagine what that would be returned if a hacker sharp entered "12345) GOLD (1 = 1" in the field of P11_SERIAL_NUMBERS - you would get all that may or may not be a security problem.

    Hope this helps,
    John

  • Problem to browse to files in the page with the text field with special characters

    Hello.
    I have a very interesting thing happening in my APEX (4.0.1) application.

    I have problems with a text field, because when I insert the text 'aaaaa' and send the page, the text is transformed in "Aaa£ aa.
    After some time trying to understand the game characters and translations and etc, I realized that this thing happened in some pages.

    Then, I started to remove components of the page where it happens and I discovered that what initially is an element to browse file...
    Every time I have send the page, if there is an element of browse file created on the page, the text is changed. If I delete the queue item browse, when submitting the page, the text remains correct.

    Is it supposed to work like this? And if yes, why is it?
