In oracle apex, if the value of Upload Status column is NEW, then the Edit Button icon should be disabled in Interactive Report.
I am aware that some dynamic action has to be added.
The name of my table is intg and it has a column named upload_status. If the value of it is NEW then I should not be able to edit that record.
From my point of view, the simplest option is to disable link column in Interactive Report's attributes and create your own link as part of the select statement. Something like this:
select case when upload_status <> 'NEW' then
'<img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#ed-item.gif" border="0">'
end as link_icon,
id,
name,
whatever
from your_table;
As the link_icon column contains HTML tags, you'll have to set "Escape special characters" to "No" for this column (otherwise you'll actually see the tags instead of the icon).
Then, in column's properties, set its type to "Link". Edit "Link" section and set it to navigate to another page in this application (you know which one, and which parameters to pass).
That should do it.

So I'm trying to select some names from a table where their set dates are between two dates that I enter via keyboard.
If it was for a single input, where I only use something like (:x) in the region source, I could just create a Text Field Item X where I enter something and press ENTER.
What if I need multiple inputs? like (:x) and (:y).
Upon creating 2 items and entering their values nothing happens when I press ENTER.
The Region Source is this:
SELECT * FROM TOYS WHERE SALE_DATE BETWEEN upper(:x) AND upper(:y);
What am I supposed to do in order to enter two inputs?
If you need to initiate an action (submit the page, for example) by changing value, you have to find a property Submit when Enter pressed in item's settings and set it to Yes. For select lists, the same property is Page Action on Selection, and desired value for it - Submit Page.
Or, you can just create a button. Button's action by default is also "submit page".
I have several tabs in my APEX application. The first is "Arlington". I want to reference that in my query. In other words I want to have a query that displays data where the city = whatever the tab might say. In this example, it would obviously be Arlington. Am I being clear? I know there is a way to do it. I know my tab name is T_ARLINGTON. But I don't know how to reference the actual text of the tab. Thank you!
Simply create one page item and mention the tab title like ( &P1_NAME.), now refresh the page the text item value should be applied the tab title. this method showing the dynamic tab title...
Goal:
To create a database with documentation about drivers. The idea is to create both vendor and protocol entries, and to link them, as follows: Inside the protocol creation form, I would like to select which vendor supports this protocol.
Approach:
I used the Create your own! button to create the following 2 Applications:
Vendors
Protocols
Inside the protocol creation page I've put a Database List field. With the following properties:
Name = vendors
Display type = select
Multiple select = false
hibernate query : I left this field blank.
xwiki class name = VendorsCode.VendorsClass
ID field name = doc.name
value field name : I left this field blank.
Problem:
To my surprise this works, but not entirely. When I open the form to add a protocol, in the vendor dropdown list there are now not only vendors but also a couple of other objects such as : "Blog.BlogIntroduction". Obviously I don't want that in the list. Why is it in there, and how can I get it out ?
I tried to add the value doc.name in the value field name box as well. But that actually only makes it worse. Now the list only contains "Blog.BlogIntroduction".
Notice that this is a clean fresh installation of xwiki. There's nothing special in this database.
What is going on here?
What you see is the default value for the select item in the Database List, as it is stored in the template page for "Protocol" objects.
A new Database List is initialized to show a list of blog posts, by having a default value of Blog.BlogPostClass for the "XWiki Class Name". (You can try this by creating a new Database List field in step 2 and open the edit view that field; just delete it after you are done.) For a fresh installed wiki there are two blog posts: the "blog page template" in Blog.BlogPageTemplate and the blog intro post in Blog.BlogIntroduction. Exactly these two items are shown initially.
After you fill in the value of your class in the "XWiki Class name" field, XWiki has a chance to find the actual list of possible values.
However it keeps the selected "default value" from the first attempt around (even though it makes no sense).
This looks like a bug to me, at least from a user experience.
How to fix it
First Step: The reason why your list only contains the bogus "default value" might be that the class you have given does not exist.
From what I see in the screenshot the class name looks ok for me, but then this field is not tolerant to any kind of typos, even something like a space before the class name. If the name does not fit exactly, it gives a (nearly) empty list.
If you cannot get it working with the class name and want to go the HQL route instead, use for the HQL field
, BaseObject as obj where doc.fullName = obj.name
and obj.className = 'VendorCode.VendorClass'
and doc.fullName != 'VendorCode.VendorTemplate'
and doc.fullName both as id and value field. This has the additional benefit that the template vendor is not available in the drop down, only the "real" objects.
After you managed to fix the name of the class, you should see a list of all vendor objects (including the VendorCode.VendorTemplate, unless you went the HQL route), and the remaining bogus default value. Now you can continue to the next step:
Second Step: if you managed to fix the class name, you will see your vendors in the drop down beside the default value; now it is time to get rid of the bogus default value. For this go to the template object of the application; e.g.
follow the "Edit Application" link on the start page of the "Protocol" application
then look at the box with the three checkboxes below the field definitions; the uppermost of the checkboxes says "Update class template"
this part contains a link to something called "ProtocolTemplate".
click the link and you end up at the template page
on the template page, click on edit and choose some other value from the drop down of vendors, and then click save.
The "BlogSomething" value should be gone now from the selection of vendors.
Optional step (not answering the quesion, but might be of interest anyway)
If you prefer to have no value at all preselected in the template, you need a few more steps:
in the application edit, edit the field and choose "multiple select" and display type "checkbox"
go to "next step" in the editor, then back to field edit with "previous step"
uncheck the checkbox beside the selected vendor entry, then open the field editor and set "display type" back to checkbox and unset the "multiple select" checkbox.
go the "next step" and "finish"
Afterwards if you create a new "protocol" entry, this is has an empty "vendor" preselected.
I want, depending of the previous choice from the user just let some tab's being seen.
Once i am new in VBA, i start showing all the tab's and after the choice from the user, i remove the tab's that i don't want. For that i am using this line of code
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove "name of the tab"
The problem is, if i don't have the same CAPTION and the NAME field of the tab the tab is not remove.
If anyone have a diferent solution for this or another away to remove without have to change the caption for the same name of NAME field i would be thankful.
Thanks
You can give a page of a multi-page control a different name from the caption in the Properties Window. You can access it from the View menu.
I've highlighed the name of the control in yellow and the caption in aqua.
If the captions are unique, you could use a Select Case statement to get the name, based on the caption. Are users actually typing in the caption of the tabs they want, or selecting from check boxes? In either case, the captions would have to be unique, so you could do something like:
Select Case True
Case Check1.Value
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove Pages("kp").Index
Case Check2.Value
MultiPage1.Pages.Remove Pages("jp").Index
End Select
That's a bit rough, but is that the general idea?
I have a standard form in MS-Access which lists a bunch of orders, and each row contains order no, customer, etc fields + a button to view notes and attached document files.
On request from our customer we should gray out the button btnAnm (or check or uncheck a checkbox) depending on a calculation from two queries to two other tables (a SELECT COUNT WHERE and a check if a text field is empty).
I've tried btnAnm_BeforeUpdate(...) and btnAnm_BeforeRender(...) and put breakpoints in the subs, but none of them trigger. The same if I use the control Ordernr instead of btnAnm.
I'd like a function in the Detail VBA code to be triggered for each "Me." (row) so to speak, and set the row's control's properties in that sub.
What do I do? I've looked at the help file and searched here.
*Edit: So I want to do something that "isn't made to work that way"? Ie. events are not triggered in Details.
As an alternative, could I base the value of a checkbox on each line on a query based on the 'Ordernr' field of the current row and the result of a SELECT COUNT from another table and empty field check?
Do I do this in the query the list is based on, or can I bind the extra checkbox field to a query?
A description of how to do this (combine a COUNT and a WHERE "not empty" to yes/no checkbox value) would be perfectly acceptable, I think! :)*
You cannot do much with an unbound control in a continuous form, anything you do will only apply to the current record. You can use a bound control with a click event so that it acts like a button.
Presumably the related documents have a reference to the order number that appears on your form, which means that you can create a control, let us call it CountOrders, with a ControlSource like so:
=DCount("OrderID","QueryName","OrderID=" & [OrderID])
The control can be hidden, or you can set it up to return true or False for use with a textbox, you can also use it for Conditional Formatting, but sadly, not for command buttons.
Expression Is [CountOrders]>0
You can also hide the contents and add a click event so that is acts in place of the command button. Conditional Formatting will allow you to enable or disable a textbox.
As I understand your question, you have a continuous form with as command button that appears on each row - and you'd like to enable/disable the button conditionally depending on the contents of the row.
Unfortunately you can't do that. It seems that you can't reference the individual command buttons separately.
Having wanted to do something similar in the past I came up with two alternate ways of setting up my interface.
Put a trap into the onClick code for the Button. Which is icky, because it is counter intuitive to the user. But it gets you that functionality now.
Move the command button (and editable fields) up into the form header, and make the rows read only. Your users then interact with the record only in the header, and select the record they want work with in the list below. As I recall this is known a Master-Detail interface.
