Implementing a Waitbar or Progressbar
In my Apex 5.0 application I have a SQL Update which is taking very long to process, and I want to implement an indicator to show that it is still running, so that the user won't start the action again.
A progressbar would do the trick, can anyone suggest a way of doing so?
(plugins aren't possible)
Just Change the action of your SUBMIT button to Dyanamic Action
On dynamic action choose ON CLICK as Event .Choose Button for Selection Type and Choose Name of your submit Button to Button
Then on Action, Choose SUBMIT PAGE
Then on Request /Button Name, put your SUBMIT button's Name.
Then set SHOW PROCESSING to YES
Use the JavaScript function apex.sumbit to submit the page and include the showWait option to display the progress bar. Here is an example...
apex.submit({ request:"DELETE", set:{"P1_DEPTNO":10, "P1_EMPNO":5433}, showWait:true});

I'm building a system of modal dialogs to allow users to edit database records.
The user clicks the "Edit" button on a specific row in a report somewhere
A modal dialog pops up, with fields that the user can edit and manipulate
The dialog has four standard buttons the user can select: Cancel, Delete, Save, and Create
Let's start with the Save button.
By default for modal dialogs, the Save button has the following behavior:
I presume this 1) submits the information from the items in the modal dialog (which refreshes the browser, closing the modal dialog), and then 2) performs the SQL UPDATE action with the submitted information, in time for the refreshed page to include the updated information?
This is fine, but I need to:
Avoid refreshing the browser (e.g. submit individual items, rather than the whole page), and
Manually redirect to another modal dialog (a different page) AFTER the SQL UPDATE action is completed
I presume this can be accomplished with dynamic actions, but I don't know how.
How can I ensure the database action is completed, before the dynamic action which navigates to a new page?
Manually redirect to another modal dialog (a different page) AFTER the SQL UPDATE action is completed
I'm thinking of creating a branch with Server-side condition set to "When button pressed" (for every button), or perhaps "Request is contained in value" where request name (by default) equals button name.
So: button would first do its processing part, and then branch to another page, without involving dynamic actions.
This is in oracle apex 4.2. I am in the interactive reports region and need to be able to 'select which columns within the report', 'Filter the rows', 'download the report', 'reset the report'. The action menu does all of this (And I can limit just to these options), but that format isn't as user friendly as 4 separate buttons. Would it be possible to put the functionality mentioned above into separate buttons or even modify the action menu to appear as buttons rather than in a menu? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
P.S. I would like to just have the action menu.
All of the functionality of the action menu is performed by javascript actions which you could easily assign to buttons of your own making. The Filter Rows action uses this javascript: javascript:gReport.dialog2('SHOW_FILTER'); as it's action (href attribute value) whereas the download action uses this: javascript:gReport.dialog2('SHOW_DOWNLOAD');
You should be able to inspect the HTML for each of the action menu items of interest and create buttons using the same scripts.
I have a Control say for ex a Submit button if user clicks the button twice or more continuously then user receiving same message / same operation taking place twice or more.
I need to avoid this situation.
thanks for your inputs.
You need to detect the button click event either in the code behind of the view (or ViewModel if using the MVVM pattern) and disable the button. Now I take it that your submit button is firing off some kind of asynchronous operation. Once the asynchronous operation has successfully completed you will probably need to enable the button so that it is available again.
Shankar, if you want to avoid clicking on button, you should disable it. If you can give more details about what exactly you are trying to do, more details can be given.
I have a sharepoint site(sharepoint 2010).
I have created a custom action, on click of which will initiate the workflow associated to a list. When the user clicks on the custom action button, an initiation form will be shown which will have the Start and Cancel button. Only on click of this Start button, the workflow will Run. I want to avoid the last step of clicking on the Start button. What I want is "On click of Custom action, Workflow should Run. Initiation form should not come into picture at all". Is this possible ?
two solutions:
Say it's good because you make sure the user didn't make a mistake
Change the custom action form to a page where you start the workflow manually (via code) and then redirect the user to the home screen (you can also do that with a dialog and then there's no need for redirect)
I'm making a simple form that is to step through a program iteratively.
How can I get it to run a method each time a user clicks a button and wait once it is finished for the next click?
Maybe I'm not understanding your question very well, but is it like the "Next" button on a Wizard?
You can have a State variable to store the current "state", so at starup its has the value 1. when click "Next" then do the code for State=1 and then change to State=2 and so on.
Inside you Click event you can have a case statement to proceed according
You want to create a method that gets called when it sees the OnClick event.
The simplest way to do this is to double-click the button in the GUI Form Designer, and it will go to the code page and start the method for you with the correct syntax.
