Application Express :: Disable Entering Text In Date Field
Oct 23, 2012
I am using APEX 4.2
I have created a form with a Date From and Date To fields.
I am using the Date Picker format (the new one, not the Classic), and have set the calendar to Show on Both (Focus and Icon Click).
I would like to restrict the field so that the user cannot enter any text - they can only use the Date picker/calendar to choose a date. This would them remove the clunky validations - so I can restrict the users so they can't enter the wrong format in the first place.
Version : 4.1.1, I have a tabular form on a DB table. One of the columns is a date field. When the user hits the "add Row" button on the tabular form, I want the Date field to be defaulted to sysdate. Here is what I have tried so far,
1. Created a "hidden" item P1_SYSDATE and populated the default value with sysdate. After this, under the DB tabular report date field, I used default type - Item/application on this page and entered P1_sYSDATE
2. Instead of populating the default value of the P1_SYSDATE hidden item, I created a before regions process and added
:P1_SYSDATE := sysdate
and added P1_SYSDATE to default type of the tabular date field with default type as "ITem/application on this page.
I get the error
ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
I tried to_Char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') and then converting it back to to_date. still no luck.
for a text field of a, wizzard generated, tabular form i created a dynamic action when lost focus. using a jquery selector to bind the da to the item in every row when the event fires some jscript and pl/sql code is executed. this all works like charm for existing rows.
but how can i bind the da to the field for newly added rows?a sc of the definition of the da can be found here [URL]...
I would like to populate a text box based on selection from a LOV. If someone selects a LOV value and then tabs off off of that element, I would like the text box populated from a sql statement based on the LOV value in the predicate.Application Express 4.1.1.00.23
In a detail tabular form I am referencing a date picker field from the master form as default value.This is the situation in the detail form:
TABULAR FORM Column Name: FECHAREGISTRO -- the field's name in the detail tabular form
Default Type: Item (application or page item name) Default: P68_FECHAREGISTRO -- It's a field in the master form and also is Date Picker format Reference Table Owner: SAMPEDRORIVEROS Reference Table Name: BITACORAABOGADO Reference Column Name: FECHAREGISTRO -- It's a date field in the database
At execution time I have the error:
report error:ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
I think it is because i must use to_date and to_char in order to change the datatype and i have tried using:
I've started using Apex 4.2(new to Apex). I have built a form based on a table with a date column on it. The form allows update on all fields/columns of the base table. For the date field/column, the goal is to present the user with sysdate on load and update the date with sysdate if the record is changed any of the fields. How can I accomplish this?
Have got basic form on a table and have a textarea which holds Notes added by user.
So Notes database field is updated on Save / Apply changes button being pressed.But would really like any text added / appended to the Notes field to be prefixed by userid and date / timestamp.
Is it possible via dynamic actions or Javascript to have any new text added / typed to be auto prefixed as per above.
Would only want the first key press in the filed to trigger the auto-prefix and if added text was deleted then the auto prefix to be deleted as well ?? If user doesn't press Save / Apply changes obviously want to leave existing Notes as is.

How i can disable column in tabular form.working with 4.1 and i have wizard based tabular form.If i have entered value in one column second column should disable and vice versa?
i had an issue last week with enabling and disabling a column in a tabular view. and i have it working now.... when the page loads i disable the column in the 25 rows being displayed.
the problem i now have is when i use the pagination to move through the rows the columns are all now enabled.
so what i am trying to do is this:
i have a tabular view showing 25 rows at a time. there is one column with a code and one with a description. when the code is changed, via a popup LOV, the description is changed based on the valus in a lookup table in the database.
i need the description column disabled, so the user cannot simply just type in the column. but when the page is submitted, the column needs to be enabled so i have modified the sumbit button to respond to a dynamic action which runs some enabling code then submits the page.
SO.... this all seems to be working except for when you use the pagination, the description column is all enabled.
is there a way of running some javascript when the pagination is refreshed? some better way of doing it?
I've got a report with two lov's, where the user is able to change the lov value and submit it. After submit the status of the item P100_status will be changed in Disable. Based on this value the lov's must be disables with apex_disabled. How can I disable these columns based on the value of P100_status?
I have a Select list which when null should disable a button and when not null should enable it. For which I tried the Advanced DA. Strangely, in the final page where we select the item that is going to be controlled, the button is not listed! I can see other display items etc which I can select but not the button.
In Application Builder, is there a way to searching the application and replacing text within it?
I have an application item named "FORMAT_TYPE1". I would like to perform a find and replace action (just like a word processor) where any part of the application that has name or text "FORMAT_TYPE1" in whole or in part is replaced by the text "FORMAT_CATEGORY1". For example:
The find/search would do it in any attribute, source code in the application. There is only a Search Application feature, which is useful in identifying places, but lacks any replace function. Is there something else that will do this, besides exporting, editing the source code in a text editor, and then importing the application again?
Apex 4.2 I have an interactive report.I use the sum attribute on the column and break formatting option to create a report total on one columnReport Sum Label Total:Break Columns No BreaksHow to I format the total text and value in to red
I am developing an apex application using the apex cloud (apex.oraclecorp.com). I am using the DB link to show the data on APEX UI. I have a blob data which is stored in the remote DB, and I want to display the BLOB data as text on a popup or a new page or a download link. I tried using display only item but APEX throws an error saying that remote DB is not supported. Also, It would be great if I can just show a download link on the UI for the BLOB data, again when I try to select the format as BLOB in the column attributes, When I give the table@dblink as BLOB table I get an error saying that "table@DBLINK not found". Is there any way to display the BLOB data as text or download it which is present in my local DB?
In my apex application needs to import data files, through end users. The fields in this file are not separated by any character (structure is not classic CSV), but have a fixed width.

Just installed 4.2.2.00.09 and imported a workspace and an application. Worked fine.I noted a page display difference when compared to the exported application (4.1.0.00.32). I have (so far) found this:If I have a button with Pre Element Text set to <div class="dummy"> and Post Element Text set to </div>, Apex generates an extra div around it all.If my button was named P1_SUBMIT I end up with
I would like to let the customer edit the item help text. Is it possible to retrieve item help text from my own custom database table based via a PLSQL function call or something similar?
We have recently upgraded to apex 4.2.1 from 4.1. After this, we get a strange stopping issue that the rich text editors clear all their values once the page is submitted. This happens only in Firefox and Chrome, but works just fine in IE. Have you ever noticed and had a solution for this?
how to dynamically populate text fields.For eg, i have a lov with employee no, as soon as a no is selected next text field with employee name will be populated.
i encountered a big problem after upgrading Apex from 4.1 to 4.2.2. On an application page there is a Text Area which will be read and processed after clicking a button. I didn't want a refresh of the page and did it with a dynamic action.All this worked like a charm with 4.1. Since the upgrade, the value of the Text Area is always returned as null while processing the dynamic action, but the value is filled by the user!When i change the type of the Element to Rich Text Area everything works fine, but i don't want this because i don't want HTML in the corresponding table. Is this a bug? How can i workaround it?
I am trying to disable mouse navigation on data block or text item,. What i want is to my text items in specified block be keyboard navigable only.
The problem is that i don't have that option on text_items or data block (my conclusion: probably because it is not possible to change mouse navigate option for text item or data block).
I have also tried in WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger
I created a table (software defect details) and an interactive report on it. Users can go to the details form where they can manage many information: STATUS is one of them and they can change it or not.
I would like to send an email when SUBMIT botton is pressed only if field STATUS has changed. How can I detect this? I mean, I wrote a procedure in order to send an email and it works, but it runs always: I cannot set it running only when the content of STATUS_ID has changed.
how to understand if a field value has changed and, if possible what the old values was? I know how to do that by using a trigger (:old.status, :new.status) but I don't when using an APEX procedure.
