This may be a simple quesiton but I need to ask to be sure I am in the correct direction. In the Item Fulfillment form for example, there is a first column Fulfill that is a checkbox. Above it there are buttons for Mark All and Unmark All as well. What I would like to do is have similar functionality on one of my other subtabs. I already have a custom child record that lives on my subtab and added a checkbox bool field to the record. I could get that to somewhat work but what I would like to know is
1- is that the correct approach.
2- does it need to be a field that is selected to be saved,
3- for their functionality this only appears in Edit mode. is that a limitation?
4- I notice their "checkbox field" is not as wide as the one I made
5- Is there a way that I would only get this "field" to appear in the record when it is in a sublist and not when it is in its own custom form to create a new item? I would only have it as a checkbox in a subtab.
Or is my approach wrong and perhaps there is an easier way to do it?
Thanks
1 - You can create a check box using inline HTML field - script the check box that way. Call a client script's function to handle the click.
2 - Not really sure what you're talking about - if you mean "Store Value" in the field definition, the answer is "No".
3 - Edit mode, yes. You can't change values of a field when not in edit mode.
4 - Width of a field can be controlled on the form design.
5 - Create 2 different forms. The data entry form would not include the check box, the sublist form would.

I currently have a MS Access database of members.
I have a form that has a combo box which is populated with just the first and last names of members. (using a test database for now)
What im struggling with is how do i create a button that opens another form i have created but using the selection in the dropdown box to populate the fields in the newly opened form.
When a user from the dropdown box is selected an open is clicked i want it to open the profile form populated with their details.
pictures and access files can be found on my ftp server:
ftp://ftp.legends-gym.co.uk
User: ftpuser#legends-gym.co.uk
Pass: ftpuser

I can't access ftp site from work so can't see what you've got thus far however, the key bits you want to look at here are:
Add a button to the form and the On Click Event to open your profile form. Something along the lines of docmd.openform "frmProfile", acNormal
You need something to pass the member you've selected in the combo box to the profile form. One way might be to use OpenArgs so have a look at that
You then could use the passed variable in OpenArgs to select the data you want to fill out your profile form.
EDIT...
OK, I've had a look at the file now. Here is what you need to do to fix your problems (and a couple of extra bits which aren't causing an issue but will improve the look and feel).
On the Format of the Home form and the Member Search form, set Navigation Buttons and Record Selector to false. - This removes the unnecessary elements for a "single" form, you're not looking at records.
On the member search form, remove the binding to the members table. - You don't need to bind this form, as the recordsource of the combo is pulling the data required separately. if you look at your form before you change it, you'll notice you've got 1 of 10 records...
Also, remove the filter criteria and set filter on load to No - You were filtering the wrong form.
On the combo box, remove the after update event. - I'm not sure what that was trying to do but its completely unnecessary.
On the command button, add an onclick event which has the following code DoCmd.OpenForm "Profile", acNormal, , "ID = " & Me.Combo361 & ""
Save everything and enjoy. :)
You weren't far wrong with the filter, but it's actually a WHERE clause when opening another form - sorry, my bad misdirection. What you were doing was filtering the original form - ie the member search form. Also, you don't need to put ' quotes around the ID, it's a number not a string.
If you have problems I can probably host this fixed version somewhere for you to download.
Based on the "Add-more button (with graceful degradation)" example available in Drupal examples module I have created a form that can add fields dynamically using AJAX, and now i want to add a separate Remove button to each of those fields so that i can remove individual fields (not just the last field).
Decrementing the number of fields and rebuilding the form only removes the last field in the form.
What's the Drupal way of doing this? and what would be the best approach to achieve my requirement?
So each field gets a remove button next to it? In that case, the button simply needs to target the wrapper for that field (surround the field in an easily identifiable div, and set the ajax target for the button to the same). Hint: the button should also be contained within that wrapper so it also disappears when clicked.
What's the best way to dynamically populate dropdown options in jqgrid advanced searching?
1) The first way: use "dataUrl" option of "searchoptions"
Disadvantage: when user add new criteria, and choose the attribute, dataUrl was posted to the server, when user add the same criteria again, dataUrl was posted to the server again, and with twice. very strange.
Advantage: the values user selected previously was there and not cleared.
2) The second way: use "dataInit" option of "searchoptions"
Disadvantage: the values user selected previously was cleared when adding new criteria(can not accepted, because it is not user-friendly, please refer url: the selected value was cleared in dropdown after add new criteria in jqgrid advanced searching)
Advantage: data was loaded into page when the page refreshed and only once.
3) the third way, use "value" option of "searchoptions"
but it's not dynamically, just hard-coded in page.
Could any one share the best practice about the issues. thanks.
I start with the second option. I suppose that you use dataInit in the wrong way. The goal of dataInit to initialize the control, like convert <select> to select2 or set jQuery UI Autocomplete or jQuery UI Datepicker on text input element. One should not fill the control with values. The select control is already created and filled before calling of dataInit.
If one use the first option, one can set HTTP cache header to prevent multiple request to dataUrl.
About the last option: one can set searchoptions.value dynamically inside of beforeProcessing for example. See the answer, this one and this one.
I have to implement a wizard, where each step is a single input field.
Everything is wrapped inside an accordion with section headers.
The user, after filling the input and pressing Enter, should navigate the wizard field by field. Only the current field is editable, while the other ones are readonly (the user can anytime change a previously filled input, by clicking it, moving the current pointer to it).
I was wondering what could be the best approach to design this system, considering that the whole wizard structure changes in dependence of different user inputs.
I have found a tutorial using ui-router (http://scotch.io/tutorials/javascript/angularjs-multi-step-form-using-ui-router), with a fixed number of steps, but my requirements are to show the current input edit box inside the accordion, not in a fixed "ui-views" placeholder.
Take a look at https://github.com/JustMaier/angular-autoFields-bootstrap
It's a module that allows you to render forms from Metadata. So essentially, you can change the Metadata you provide dynamically to change the forms.
I have an LOV added to my view object which updates 6 fields - done all through the LOV wizard in JDeveloper. It works perfectly fine when test running the application module - all fields update with the proper values after selecting a value from the LOV. However in my JSPX form, the only the field that gets updated is the one that the LOV is attached or is initiated on.
On my form, i only display 2 out of the 6 fields - the field which initiates the LOV and another editable field that the LOV is supposed to update. The part where this gets interesting is that the 4 other fields in my view object that i dont put in my form, are updated successfully by the LOV! But the one additional editable field that i left in my form, isnt updated.
Why is that?
I could just write a method in my View object Row Implementation class to update that editable field manually, but i feel like theres something more straight forward via declarative approach.
Thank you!
Fixed!
I needed to update two settings on my 2nd field of the form.
Removed the default bindings on the "Required" attribute and set it to "false".
Set "ShowRequired" to true
After that, I saved my changes and re-ran my application and the field updated properly!
I hope others find this helpful!
