I have two text items. Both of them do not have any value. When I added some text in first text item same data should be reflected to other one. So how to do this.
Thnx in advance
If you really need always the same value in both items then you should use mirror items also known as synchronize with item property.
This will display the same value in both items.
If you need some kind of logic for the synchronizing of the two items then you can use the When-Validate-Item trigger of the master item to populate the child item. But if the need a simple synchronizing without any logic then the item property 'Synchronize With Item' (as already stated by nigthfox79) is the right way to go.

I'm wondering if anyone has come across this issue.
I have two radio buttons on a canvas app that I am attempting to control the values displayed within a list box.
RadioButtons.Items: ["SomeValueA","SomeValueB"]
The list box control should be getting reset whenever the value of the radio button changes.
UpdateContext({resetList: !resetList});
UpdateContext({resetList: !resetList});
Reset(lbListbox);
lbListbox.Reset: resetList
For the list box itself I have the following for Items:
Switch(
RadioButtons.Selected.Value,
"SomeValueA",
Sort(
EntityA.FieldName,
Descending
),
"SomeValueB",
Sort(
EntityB.'Some other field name',
Descending
)
)
The problem is when I select 'SomeValueA' the list box properly populates with the values from EntityA.FieldName but when I then select 'SomeValueB' from the radio buttons the list box blanks out with empty records. There appears to be items in the list box that I can scroll through and select but not see.
If I put two list boxes on the screen and set their Items event to the specific entity the values show up properly in both list boxes so I know the entity naming/field is correct.
I've tried it without the reset of the list box, I've tried it using collections made out of the entity records.
Has anyone come across this who maybe has a solution. I was going to try to put two list boxes on top of one another and either hide/show or bring to front the active list but that also doesn't want to work.
thanks!
(Received this post from another source, figured I might as well post back here as well)
Got this to work, but it was a bit finicky. The catch seemed to be giving the List a value-pairing table, instead of just a list of values.
First I collected the Option Sets from CDS, and added a column to indicate the source name, for reference. This could easily be combined into a single collection, and then filtered later but I was thinking simple.
ClearCollect(colOptionSet1,AddColumns(Choices('Ownership (Accounts)'),"appSource","Ownership"));
ClearCollect(colOptionSet2,AddColumns(Choices('Preferred Method of Contact (Accounts)'),"appSource","Preferred Method"));
Next added a Radio button identical to yours.
Then added a List control with Items equal to
If( Radio1.Selected.Value = "SomeValueA", colOptionSet1, Radio1.Selected.Value = "SomeValueB", colOptionSet2 )
You may need to use the right-side property pane to toggle between Value and "appSource" (from collections above), but this did allow me to toggle between two separate Option Set fields in a single list.
Patching/writing this back is gonna be another hurdle. 😝
Why is it that a control that appears in the property list in a BIDS project is not represented in the corresponding .rdl file?
Let me step back a bit; I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to add items to an existing report, either via the XML (.rdl viewed as code) or on the design surface. I can click on a rectangle on the design surface and see a column row above it:
And if I click on the "pipe"-separated segements on that column heading row, I see "MatrixColumn4", "MatrixColumn3", "MatrixColumn2", and "MatrixColumn1" in the designer; for example, here's MatrixColumn3:
However, only one of these columns appears at a time in the Property list - if I select MatrixColumn3 on the design surface, MatrixColumn1, MatrixColumn2, and MatrixColumn4 are not there. The same holds true for selecting any of the others - it turns up temporarily in the Properties list but "hides" all the others:
Stranger yet, when I search the .rdl file (viewed as XML) for "MatrixColumn1" (or "2" or "3" or "4") they do not exist there. In fact, the only reference to "MatrixColumn" in the entire file is this:
<Matrix Name="matrix1">
<MatrixColumns>
<MatrixColumn>
<Width>1.67609in</Width>
</MatrixColumn>
</MatrixColumns>
. . .
This seems exceedingly bizarre - shouldn't there be four sets of <MatrixColumn></MatrixColumn> there?
I want to add another column heading, with a Textbox-as-label and a Textbox below that to display dynamic content, but how can I do it without adding another column heading?, or at least making room for this new column?
I can increase the width of the matrix ("matrix1") by dragging it or by increasing its Size.Width value, but its existing contents expand with it, giving me no room to add TextBoxes inside of it.
Maybe I'm approaching SSRS from a completely wrong mental angle, as I don't see much of a connection between what the report generates and what I see on the design surface and in the XML.
To add another column to a matrix right click the column header and Select Insert column. Then choose either inside group (left or right), or outside group (left or right).
A column created inside the group will repeat for every item in the column group
A column created outside the group will only appear the once to the left or right of the grouped columns.
Are you sure you are referring to a matrix (dynamic columns and rows) and not a tablix (dynamic number of rows only)?
The process for tablixes is the same as for matrixes as described above, just without the inside/outside group option.
Either method described above will include a new column with a single text box to label the column with, and another text box underneath to put the detail in.
You can also do this process by dragging a field from your dataset in the Report Data panel to the appropriate location in your existing table.
Please let me know if this helps, or if I've misunderstood your question and you require a different solution.
I want to create a sale order form. For which the form should allow insertion of line items. I dont want to restrict the number of line items. I decided to display 4 empty records in which user is allowed to type line items. If he wants to type the 5th line item then i have to make the 5th empty row visible to the user. using a scroll bar he should be able to see the first record also.
How to do this in oracle forms 10g.
Any help will be appreciated.
Set the Number of Records Displayed property of the line item block to 4 and the Show Scrollbar property to Yes.
add text item based on your table (in the proprety
database-yes ,and write ehich table the item base)
on the property of the block do the scrollbar property to yes.
add simple button to the forms and wrie commit_form.
try it
The Problem in Hand:
I want to make a form designer where user can drag and drop fields of different type and design the layout too, some what similar to wufoo form builder but here the layout is limited to single column whereas I want to make something where user can make the layout as they want.
I understand how to do in single column view, but could not understand how to achieve multiple column layout eg: row 1 there could be 3 elements, row 2 one element stretched to full length, row 3 there could be just 2 elements etc.
What I tried:
I have tried with jquery UI sortable to make a single column layout with using div where new elements can be dragged and repositioned.
Any suggestion on how to proceed further will be helpful
I have tried searching StackOverFlow and google but could not find any link on a similar topic. If anyone could point me to the same, it will be also helpful.
When you reorder elements on wufoo form builder, you can only drag'n'drop up or down. Remove that restriction and as soon as one element is dragged across a certain threshold, it "belongs" to the next column. If the "old" column was the first or last one and the line that the element was moved over was to the "outside" of the form, add a new column there, until the maximal number of columns is reached.
If the used drags the last element of a column into another column, remove the now empty column on element-drop.
You could also remove the dynamic adding/removing of columns and juist have a button ("remove column" & "add column") to do it by code.
An example for the dropping in another column can be found here: http://jqueryui.com/sortable/#connect-lists
Hope this helped!
Edit:
http://jqueryui.com/sortable/#portlets and http://jqueryui.com/sortable/#empty-lists also have elements that you could look into. Good luck! Sounds like a nice project. Can we see any progress or beta?
Hi i have a report that has many details, I need to divide it into 2 columns. The usual detail row gets enumerated going down like this:
List item
List item
List item
List item
but i want it to look like this
List item 3. List item
List item 4. List item
How do I do that? Is there a sample / link where I can refer to? I was thinking maybe thre is an easier way like a control to add than programming it to divide itself. I cant just divide it by fixed no. coz detail for each category has different counts.
thanks
the "List" element from the BIRT palette should act exactly as you need:
Drag a list from the palette onto the body of the report
Bind the list to the data set in "bindings" tab
Drag & drop a field from the dataset within the list details
Set the width of this field as you like, for example something like half-width of a page
In general properties of the datafield, set property "display" to "inline". Run the report, your items will be split in 2 columns
If you want to combine several datafields in each column:
insert a grid element in list details, and set its width as required
In general properties of the grid, set property "display" to "inline"
Arrange datafields as you like in the grid
