I am trying to modify an existing infopath form that contains repeating table container.User enters the details in the table and form is used by another program for processing.
The current requirement is for user should be able to copy data from somewhere and directly paste into table. The user may copy data containing multiple rows and paste it.This source could be anywhere and also the user can still enter data manually row by row so a data connection is not feasible.
But the data gets truncated with only first row getting entered in form as there is only one row present in the form. I found out this was the behavior after googling. Is there a work around for this. Like overwriting paste function using code?
Thanks for any help.
I cannot comment so I will have to leave this as an answer please do not down vote since I am trying to help you out.
Not sure this is possible but try to create a field that allows the user to enter a number of rows. That way they could take a look at the number of rows in their excel spreadsheet and see that it's 32 (or whatever number). Then you could take that number of rows and have the form create a repeating table with the number of rows specified. That way they could paste in the number of rows they need to paste.
This would not be ideal of course but attempting something like this might be easier than overwriting a paste operation.

I have a csv file with multiple lists. See picture. What I want to do is query every single value so it tells me which list that the value is found in.
Eg I query number 898774 and it tells me 898774 - prim6 in set 1, set 2 and set 4.
I did find a quick work around by making one big list in excel, removing dupes and then manually searching all for each number. Doable for a small amount but not that good for '000s of sets.
I created a vector for each column and started a search with which(sapply) but then remembered I needed the names. Just a little bit out of my knowledge.
I am displaying a datawindow in PowerBuilder (v12) but for one of the columns only wish to display information in the column if the data has changed, otherwise the user will be subjected to a lot of repeats on the screen.
Is this possible please or must it be done in the SQL I am obtaining the data from?
If you mean when it has changed from row to row, going down the list, then this sounds like the feature found in the DataWindow painter under Rows \ Suppress Repeating Values....
Good luck,
Terry.
I'm writing a Notes Client application. Web compatibility is a secondary concern. The language is LotusScript.
The specification: a form to enter lines from receipts. The lines are all saved as part of the same document so that they can be signed as an atomic unit.
When a line is added, it is to be formatted into a table for presentation. Ultimately, this architecture is like an input/datastore/presentation split.
I've managed to get the data stored and signed, and I think I've managed to get it deserializing properly (the LotusScript debugger makes it difficult to see, but it looks right). The problem now is the UI.
Looking at the Programmable Table, it is always a tabbed table with only one row shown per tab. I need a programmable table which can dynamically have rows added to it for display, without forcing new tabs to be created.
This suggests that I would need to use a Rich Text field to contain a table, but thus far my attempts to get anything to display when I try to update a Rich Text field in edit mode have failed. I am forced to conclude that it is impossible.
I cannot figure out how I'm supposed to do a dynamically-displayed list of tabular data like this. Any advice?
Most people just create a table with one row and N columns, with a multi-valued field in each column, and use code to append values to each of the fields in parallel. You don't get borders between rows this way or the ability to do variable formatting of cells, and you have to be careful to avoid letting data length exceed column widths in order to keep everything aligned properly.
If you truly want a dynamic table for presentation with all the bells and whistles that you can get in terms of cell formatting, then the Midas Rich Text API from Genii Software is a commercial solution that can do the job.
I blogged about this a couple of years ago: http://blog.texasswede.com/dynamic-tables-in-classic-notes/
This is a non-XPages solution, but of course you can also use XPages to achieve the same/similar result. It does not use tabs, as each row is a separate table.
Alternatively, you can build your Rich Text Table in another NotesDocument, which you then save. Then use NotesUIDocument.ImportItem (which is undocumented, but present in the R8.5 mail template) to update your NotesUIDocument.
Don't forget to delete the other NotesDocument when you're done.
Another option is to build the table in HTML in computed text, and re-open the document every time you modify it. I have inherited a system that does that, and I hate it...so be warned :)
I have to give a functionality on one of my pages is like:
I have data which represents data of a row from a table, and table has many columns.
This data has to be edited, and sent back to the server.
I am showing data in a datagrid, which obviously doesnt look good as we always have one row and that too a large row, so user has to use scroll to look for some values.
I want suggestions for this, like what should i use to make it look better and more user friendly.
I could have hard coded things but considering, if tomorrow table schema or xml respnse change it will break.
Any suggestions will be nice.
If I have clearly understood your problem, you have too much information in a row and you would like too be able to see all of your row data in the meantime.
How about creating dynamically, on a row double click by example, a form popup that would display vertically your columns data ?
Hullo to all! This question is more about a shortcut than anything:
Is there a simple, yet efficient way to associate column names to csv data?
Problem:
I need to associate column names (and bind them) to import the csv file correctly to my SQL Server database. I don't know before I see the csv what column of the csv will contain what data.
Example:
File 1 column order: Name, Address, Phone.
File 2 column order: Name, Phone, Address.
Hence, I need to be able to display the csv, and with the use of well-placed dropdownlists, show the remaining columns that need to be selected.
I need to create an interface that will allow for manual association of the csv column to the datatable column.
Solution: ?
I am caressing the idea of coding the stuff myself, but was asking myself whether or not an existing easier solution already existed, and Google wasn't much help on this one.
Any input from you guys would be infinitely appreciated as it would save me some precious time.
Other than just doing the import via SSIS or some other direct SQL item, I'm not aware of any better way of doing it.
All I would do in this case is show the list of columns for each field, and let the user select the mapping.
