my SAPUI5 app has an input field where the valid values must be obtained through a value help:
<Input showValueHelp="true" valueHelpOnly="true"
valueHelpRequest="onValueHelpRequest"
value="{myModel>/myField}"
The value help is realized with a SelectDialog, where the only options are
choose one or
cancel
The problem is now the following flow:
User opens value help dialog to choose one item and presses Confirm
Input field now displays chosen value
User wants to clear the input, because it's optional
Unfortunately,
sap.m.Input doesn't provide a clear button
sap.m.SelectDialog doesn't provide the possibility to add a custom button like Clear
The input is layed out in a SimpleForm with 2 columns, labels and input fields, so it would be hard to add a clear button
The Gateway entity set which feeds the value help dialog list doesn't have a totally empty line
I don't like the workaround to switch the SelectDialog to multiSelect just for the purpose that the user can choose "one or none". I also think it would be hard to explain to the user "if you want to remove the value, hold the control key and click on the previously selected item again".
Any ideas out there how to easily implement a clear button or something similar?
valueHelpOnly="false"
// with this user can either fill by F4 (assisted input) or by typing input..
and if you want to clear you can add a button and set the value to null
oInput.setValue("");

I want a button from the command line bar to be visible or invisible depending on whether a record has been selected in the lookup field from the main form or not.
If no record has been selected, then the button should be displayed. Otherwise not.
For this problem, I want to use the Power Fx in PowerApps, but I haven't found a command yet, which shows me the content or something like that of the lookup field. Other field data types like text have worked without problems.
With Javascript, I already managed it without problems, but I would like to do it also in PowerFx if that should work.

The records come from the Table Company, where the attribute is Companyname.
Commands where I think they might work:
If([Selected Record];true;false);If(IsBlank([Selected Record]);true;false);If(IsBlankOrError([Selected Record]);true;false);If(IsEmpty([Selected Record]);true;false)
I guess there are 2 scenarios:
The Lookup form control element is a Dropdown with a Selected output property. Then your approach would work like If(IsBlankOrError(DataCardValue1.Selected),true,false)
If your form control element is a ComboBox then you could use If(CountRows(DataCardValue1.SelectedItems)>0,true,false) or the above described IsBlankOrError.
I'm looking for a good way to reveal a hidden element (a div) based on specific input into a form field. The application is an order form that isn't using any database. I want to have users input a coupon code and if it matches have the div appear (which contains what is needed to do the discount). And if it doesn't match it either does nothing, loads another hidden element or reveals a message like "invalid code".
PHP would be preferred but I'm open to anything. I don't see how the textbox where users enter the code has to be submitted with a submit button as it would submit the order form. It isn't critical that the discount is 100% secret. In other words, if they think to view the source code to see if they can figure out if there's a discount then they've earned it.
I've thought about using a inline frame for simplicity but I don't think that will work.
You could use the input's oninput function to watch the value entered. On each keypress you could make a call to see if it matches a coupon code. If the coupon codes are always "x" length, you could only do the call when the value reaches that length (if you don't want to call on every single keypress).
Alternatively, you could use a button and use it's onclick attribute. It would be the same idea as above, just instead of making the call on every keypress, you would only make the call on the button's click.
Once the value matches, just set the hidden div from "display: none" to "display: block" or something like that.

I have a form with multiple inputs and buttons for the user. At the start, only the first input is enabled and a few of the buttons.
When the first input is entered, (when the user presses enter), if there is no input or if the input is invalid, then I want the focus to stay on the input field. But when i try using MyControl.setFocus(), the focus is not staying on the field.
How is it possible to keep focus on the same field in this situation?
Using setFocus in the modified method of a form control is a no-go, as it confuses AX tab order.
You could make the conditional setFocus call from the enter method of the next field control.
It is not bullet proof, back tab is not handled, but is might do it for you.
The invalid case should be handled by the validate (or better validateField if a bound field), method of the first field.
Also consider setting the Skip property on display only fields.
You can return false from the modified() method (AX 2012 R3) and this too seems to prevent the focus from leaving.
I want to validate that user cannot change spinner value manually by typing in text box of spinner.
For example a field sales multiple = x which I fetched from server not fix.
and displays a spinner field with limitation of like bellow
spinner.setMinValue = x
spinner.setIncrement = x
spinner.setValue = x
so user forcefully select a value which is multiple with x. e.g. if x=3 the user have to enter 3,6,9... and so on.
So here my issue is if I type a 2 in spinner field text box. GXT widget accept that value.
Posible solutions:
Is there any predefined properties of spinnerfield that i forget to set it?
Is there any predefined validator for this?
Can I set text box of spinner field read only by css so user cannot focus on text box but still change a value.
If none of above how to achieve manually?
i've searched a bit in the different classes and I don't see either a precise method which would set what you want.
Don't know about one, and even with one, a validator doesn't change the value in the input field, but maybe it's enough for your needs.
You can disable the text input by calling setEditable(boolean) on the spinnerfield (testSpinner.setEditable(false);)
Maybe you could search around the IntegerPropertyEditor, I haven't tried but as long as a new Spinner is like this:
SpinnerField<Integer> testSpinner = new SpinnerField<Integer>(new NumberPropertyEditor.IntegerPropertyEditor());
you can seen that there is another Constructor for IntegerPropertyEditor, which takes a "NumberFormat" param, but there is no NumberFormart() constructor, so I'm not sure about how you create your own one, but that could be an idea (to format numbers in the input to be a multiple of the increment).
The last option would be that Sencha forgot this possibility and that you should report this as a "bug" on the forum ?
Hope to have helped a bit, good luck :).
I have an Excel VBA form to enter data into a worksheet.
Last column of my worksheet CC contains a formula which calculates some input fields. It is a very long though simple formula.
Is it possible that while I am entering the data in the form, a field in the VBA form itself keeps showing me running result of the inputs made based on the formula in the worksheet column CC?
I don’t know how to write that long formula in VBA so want to find out if there is a way around it.
If not possible, how about while the data has been entered in the form, there is a button CHECK RESULT. Clicking this button temporarily enters the form data to spreadsheet, populating CC cell and that result shows up as message box while the VBA data form is still open.
This result message box could have two buttons, CONFIRM ENTRY or CANCEL.
If cancel is clicked then the data entered in the spreadsheet is deleted. If confirm is clicked, then entered data stays.
Kind of urgent if someone can suggest a solution.
I have added image of my VBA form.
In the most basic manner to answer your sub question:
"Is it possible that while I am entering the data in the form, a field in the VBA form itself keeps showing me running result of the inputs made based on the formula in the worksheet column CC?"
Yes it's possible.
Asumming have a working formula anywhere in the sheet. Which you do according to your question.
Assuming your Sheet doesn't have a code like Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual , to say your Sheet is in automatic calculation mode it will show you the running results.
You use key press or enter events in the Form to update the Sheet column CC
Your approach with buttons and message box seems fine. Why don't you give it a try and let us know with any issues you face.
