Display <New> in case of defaulting only Numbers in Acumatica - acumatica

For now I have following requirement: make auto number input field, which can have only numbers, but during initial input should have also display . While implementing this requirement I noticed the following: for only numbers I can use as input mask either '0', '9' or '#', and not 'C'. But when I use '0', '9' or '#' I can't display in that field. But when I use 'C' as input mask, I give possibility to enter non numeric symbols as well. How to solve this issue?

PXFieldState class encapsulate the input mask. FieldSelecting event handler is a good place to dynamically set the input mask. You could copy AutoNumberAttribute class and modify it to suit your needs by dynamically setting the input mask in it's FieldSelecting event handler like this:
void IPXFieldSelectingSubscriber.FieldSelecting(PXCache sender, PXFieldSelectingEventArgs e)
{
if (_AttributeLevel == PXAttributeLevel.Item || e.IsAltered)
{
string inputMask = e.ReturnValue == null || (e.ReturnValue is string && ((string)e.ReturnValue) == "<NEW>") ? "CCCCCCCC" : "########";
e.ReturnState = PXStringState.CreateInstance(e.ReturnState, null, null, _FieldName, null, -1, inputMask, null, null, null, null);
}
}

Hiding value of a selector in a grid dynamically

I am trying to hide these duplicate inventory ID values for the "price" and "Cost" lines (when one "adds" an item to the grid it creates three lines), but the selector description still appears.
How can I just make these value come up blank in the grid?
Even better, how can I disable a link command so if someone inadvertently clicks then it wont link to the stock item screen?
Here is my code thus far:
protected void _(Events.FieldSelecting<FPPriceSheetDetail, FPPriceSheetDetail.inventoryID> e)
{
if (e.Row is null) return;
if (e.Row.RowType == FPPriceSheetRowType.BreakQty) return;
var state = PXFieldState.CreateInstance(e.ReturnState, typeof(string), true, false, 1, null, null, null, nameof(FPPriceSheetDetail.inventoryID));
state.SelectorMode = PXSelectorMode.TextMode;
state.DescriptionName = "";
state.ValueField = "";
state.Visibility = PXUIVisibility.Visible;
state.Visible = true;
e.ReturnState = state;
e.ReturnValue = "";
}
I would rather review the pxSelector and in the condition only show 1-row type - this will remove the duplicates. The point of the selector is to select one of the values within the result - assuming all the information the selector are selectable.

Change String length or decimal precision of field attribute dynamically

I'm trying to use setup data from one table to allow me to format fields on the fly / dynamically. I know I can change field names and visibility based on the PXUIFieldAttribute class, but changing the precision or string length is a bit trickier, obviously. From the research I've done, I've come up with the following example code that seems like it should work - but I get the error:
"Unable to cast object of type 'PX.Data.PXUIFieldAttribute' to type 'PX.Data.PXDBDecimalAttribute'.
I don't see why this is occurring...
protected virtual void xTACOpenSourceDetail_RowSelected(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
{
var osd = (PXCache)sender;
foreach (PXDBDecimalAttribute attribute in this.Caches<xTACOpenSourceDetail>().GetAttributes("Number1"))
{
PXDBDecimalAttribute someAttribute = attribute as PXDBDecimalAttribute;
if (someAttribute != null)
{
someAttribute.DBProperties._precision = 4;
}
}
}
I just tried the below code in sales order screen and it seems working!
var props = typeof(SOOrder).GetProperties().Where(prop => Attribute.IsDefined(prop, typeof(PXDecimalAttribute)));
foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo item in props)
{
PXDecimalAttribute.SetPrecision(this.Base.Caches[typeof(SOOrder)], item.Name, 1);
}
You might need to change this to match your DAC.

How to stop onItemSelected() from firing off multiple times after a selection of an item was made?

I've seen another similar thread, but I wasn't able to resolve my issue with the given answers.
EXPLANATION OF MY GOALS:
I have 4 spinners, each has its own ArrayList of strings assigned to it via an adapter. All of these arrays contain the same values at the beginning.
I want to remove the selected value (eg. "item" in spinner1) from all the other spinners (remove "item" from spinner2, 3 and 4) when it is selected.
PROBLEM:
When I select an item for the first two or three times from different spinners (the number of selections needed to reproduce the problem varies) the onItemSelected() method gets called multiple times (the number of callings is greater than the number of actual -user- selections made).
QUESTION:
How to prevent the calling of onItemSelected(); at unnecessary times. I want it to be called only when the actual user makes a selection in one of the spinners and only call it once when that does happen.
If you want to try to help me out and you need more code / images of the problem on the device itself, please, say so.
Here is my whole onItemSelected() method:
#Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
if (inCorrection == false)
{
s1 = spinner1.getSelectedItemPosition();
s2 = spinner2.getSelectedItemPosition();
s3 = spinner3.getSelectedItemPosition();
s4 = spinner4.getSelectedItemPosition();
testcount++;
switch(parent.getId())
{
case R.id.v1_q1_s1:
if((position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION) && (spinner1.getSelectedItem().toString() != "Default---"))
{
findLists(myList2, myList3, myList4, spinner1.getSelectedItem().toString());
if(returnChecks(0) != "Default---")
{
myList2.add(returnChecks(0));
myList3.add(returnChecks(0));
myList4.add(returnChecks(0));
}
addChecks(0, (spinner1.getSelectedItem().toString()));
}
else
{
if(position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION)
{
myList2.add(returnChecks(0));
myList3.add(returnChecks(0));
myList4.add(returnChecks(0));
addChecks(0, (spinner1.getSelectedItem().toString()));
}
}
adapter1.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter3.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter4.notifyDataSetChanged();
Toast.makeText(Vprasalnik1.this, myList1.toString()+"\n"+myList2.toString()+"\n"+myList3.toString()+"\n"+myList4.toString()+"\n"+checks.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case R.id.v1_q1_s2:
if((position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION) && (spinner2.getSelectedItem().toString() != "Default---"))
{
findLists(myList1, myList3, myList4, spinner2.getSelectedItem().toString());
if(returnChecks(1) != "Default---")
{
myList1.add(returnChecks(1));
myList3.add(returnChecks(1));
myList4.add(returnChecks(1));
}
addChecks(1, (spinner2.getSelectedItem().toString()));
}
else
{
if(position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION)
{
myList1.add(returnChecks(1));
myList3.add(returnChecks(1));
myList4.add(returnChecks(1));
addChecks(1, (spinner2.getSelectedItem().toString()));
}
}
adapter1.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter3.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter4.notifyDataSetChanged();
Toast.makeText(Vprasalnik1.this, myList1.toString()+"\n"+myList2.toString()+"\n"+myList3.toString()+"\n"+myList4.toString()+"\n"+checks.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case R.id.v1_q1_s3:
if((position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION) && (spinner3.getSelectedItem().toString() != "Default---"))
{
findLists(myList2, myList1, myList4, spinner3.getSelectedItem().toString());
if(returnChecks(2) != "Default---")
{
myList2.add(returnChecks(2));
myList1.add(returnChecks(2));
myList4.add(returnChecks(2));
Toast.makeText(Vprasalnik1.this, "before: "+returnChecks(2), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
addChecks(2, (spinner3.getSelectedItem().toString()));
Toast.makeText(Vprasalnik1.this, "after: "+returnChecks(2), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
else
{
if(position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION)
{
myList2.add(returnChecks(2));
myList1.add(returnChecks(2));
myList4.add(returnChecks(2));
addChecks(2, (spinner3.getSelectedItem().toString()));
}
}
adapter1.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter3.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter4.notifyDataSetChanged();
Toast.makeText(Vprasalnik1.this, myList1.toString()+"\n"+myList2.toString()+"\n"+myList3.toString()+"\n"+myList4.toString()+"\n"+checks.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case R.id.v1_q1_s4:
if((position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION) && (spinner4.getSelectedItem().toString() != "Default---"))
{
findLists(myList2, myList3, myList1, spinner4.getSelectedItem().toString());
if(returnChecks(3) != "Default---")
{
myList2.add(returnChecks(3));
myList3.add(returnChecks(3));
myList1.add(returnChecks(3));
}
addChecks(3, (spinner4.getSelectedItem().toString()));
}
else
{
if(position != AdapterView.INVALID_POSITION)
{
myList2.add(returnChecks(3));
myList3.add(returnChecks(3));
myList1.add(returnChecks(3));
addChecks(3, (spinner4.getSelectedItem().toString()));
}
}
adapter1.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter2.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter3.notifyDataSetChanged();
adapter4.notifyDataSetChanged();
Toast.makeText(Vprasalnik1.this, myList1.toString()+"\n"+myList2.toString()+"\n"+myList3.toString()+"\n"+myList4.toString()+"\n"+checks.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
correctSelection();
}
}
At the end of the above code there is a function I call named correctSelection();, that corrects the selection of all spinners, because it doesn't work correctly otherwise - it looks like this:
void correctSelection()
{
inCorrection = true;
spinner1.setSelection(myList1.lastIndexOf(returnChecks(0)));
spinner2.setSelection(myList2.lastIndexOf(returnChecks(1)));
spinner3.setSelection(myList3.lastIndexOf(returnChecks(2)));
spinner4.setSelection(myList4.lastIndexOf(returnChecks(3)));
inCorrection = false;
}
/*it sets the position of all spinners to the last "saved"
(current) item selected, so it corrects the possible index offset that occurs otherwise
(returnChecks(); returns the last item selected from an array in a string format)
PS: To avoid the calling of onItemSelected() in case of programmatically setting the selection
of spinners, I've input a boolean flag (variable "inCorrection"), which is set to false before the
selections are made by "the application" and then set back to false when the code gets run.
*/
To prevent onItemSelected() from being called when you set up the spinner, you can do it like this:
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(null);
adapter.notifyDatasetChanged();
spinner.setSelection(0, false);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(onItemSelectedListener);
Explanation:
The framework fires the onItemSelected event when a change in the selection has occurred. It detects a change by registering the current selected position and the previous selected position (mSelectedPostion and mOldSelectedPosition).
When you call notifyDatasetChanged the framework performs various checks to see if the previous selection can be found, so onItemSelected may or may not be called when the spinner is laid out.
By calling setSelection(0, false) these positions are set to 0, possibly detecting a change, but since onItemSelectedListener is null, onItemSelected wont be fired. Position 0 is selected because I guess the "Default---" value is the first position in the list. You can choose another position if you like.
When the spinner is later laid out there is no change, so onItemSelected wont be fired here either.
Note that this has been established by debugging on API level 19 (Android 4.4 KitKat). I don't know if it works on other versions, and I haven't been able to find anything in the documentation to support it.
You can stop the spinner from firing prior to the user making a selection via the optional animation field in the setSelection method. Be sure to order your code this way:
ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, yourList);
spinner.setAdapter(spinnerAdapter);
spinner.setSelection(0, false); //stops spinner from firing prior to user selection
as explained by user1801374 , I made the fix for my case. Just make sure before and after selection index remains same in order to not to invoke the onItemSelected again.
private int spinnerIndex = 0;
spinner.setSelection(spinnerIndex, false);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener()
{ public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
// Your code here
//I was detaching and reattaching one fragment which was calling the onItemSelected multiple times, recursively.
spinnerIndex = i;
spinner.setSelection(spinnerIndex, false);
return;
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView) {
// Your code here
return;
}
}

System.FormatException was unhandled

In form load i'm updating Drop Down List Value
ddlFont:
foreach (FontFamily font in System.Drawing.FontFamily.Families)
{
ddlFont.Items.Add(font.Name);
}
ddlFontSize:
for (int i = 8; i < 24; i++)
{
ddlFontSize.Items.Add(i.ToString().Trim());
}
ddlFontStyle:
ddlFontStyle.Items.Add(System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold.ToString());
ddlFontStyle.Items.Add(System.Drawing.FontStyle.Italic.ToString());
ddlFontStyle.Items.Add(System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular.ToString());
ddlFontColor:
ddlColor.Items.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Black.Name.ToString());
ddlColor.Items.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Blue.Name.ToString());
ddlColor.Items.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Green.Name.ToString());
ddlColor.Items.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Red.Name.ToString());
ddlColor.Items.Add(System.Drawing.Color.White.Name.ToString());
ddlColor.Items.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Yellow.Name.ToString());
If user change the Font, size, style, color then i must change RichTextBox control text font, size, style, color.
I call the "FontFormation" method from SelectedIndexChanged event of Drop Down List controls which is having Font Name ddl, Font Style ddl, Font Size ddl.
private void ddlFont_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FontFormation();
}
In my code first two conditions are executing without error but last one alone showing "Input string was not in a correct format" error at ddlFont.Text.
public void FontFormation()
{
if (FontStyle.Bold.ToString() == ddlFontStyle.Text)
{
rchtxtMainBody.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(ddlFont.Text, Convert.ToUInt32(ddlFontSize.Text), FontStyle.Bold);
}
else if(FontStyle.Italic.ToString() == ddlFontStyle.Text)
{
rchtxtMainBody.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(ddlFont.Text, Convert.ToUInt32(ddlFontSize.Text), FontStyle.Italic);
}
else if (FontStyle.Regular.ToString() == ddlFontStyle.Text)
{
rchtxtMainBody.Font = new System.Drawing.Font(ddlFont.Text, Convert.ToUInt32(ddlFontSize.Text), FontStyle.Regular);
}
}
If i remove my last else if condition i.e FontStyle.Regular.ToString() == ddlFontStyle.Text then code is getting executed without any error.
The problem lies in your ddlFontSize.Text. The exception occurs when it cannot convert in to UInt32. Please debug your code and make sure that ddlFontSize.Text doesn't have "px" or "pt" with and and its only a number in string format.

display default text in editedField BlackBerry

I m trying to add a default Label to searchField when the user put a text "search:" get ereased. I tried this
editedField.setLabel("search:")
But it doesn't work because when I put a string search don't erase. For exemple If I put "a" it displays searcha. Could you plz help me? thanx a lot.
Basically, you need a hint in your TextField.
You need to override its paint method , You can use this code:
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
if (beditfield.getText().length() == 0)
{
graphics.setColor(Color.GRAY);
graphics.drawText("Search", 0, 0);
}
graphics.setColor(Color.WHITE);
invalidate();
super.paint(graphics);
}
It checks the textfield length. When it is zero, it draws the hint there.
Override onFocus method and when field is focused, then clear its contents.
To set text field contents use setText method, instead of setLabel
try this -
private String test="";
final EditField email_edit = new EditField("", "", 30,BasicEditField.FILTER_DEFAULT) {
String emptyString = "Search";
protected void paint(Graphics g) {
int oldColor = g.getColor();
try {
g.setColor(0x959595);
test = super.getText();
if ( test == null || test.length() < 1 ) {
g.drawText(emptyString, 0, 0);
}
super.paint(g);
} finally {
g.setColor(oldColor);
}
}
};
