I haven't been posting lately, i feel sorry for that.
This is mostly because i am up to my head with new projects, BPM, SOA, BI and other fusion middleware technologies. Also because:
Actually its a fancy functionality that make the table look nice and works fine with navitating either with mouse or by 'Tab' or arrows.
It is easy to implement, just set editingMode="clickToEdit" in editable ADF table.
everything works fine apart from the Date picker that does not work in Firefox 17 and it is not related with click to edit functionality (see forums.oracle.com )
Everything work fine until you press CreateInsert button.
Then a new row is inserted and highlighted yet it is not editable, the previous selected row is editable.
If you click on any other row by mouse nothing happens, rows don't become editable.
Arrows navigation don't work and If you try to navigate with tab it never go to the new row.
So the only applicable action is to click with mouse in the new row.
If you make a mistake not to fill the required fields and click on a different row, then validation errors appear as expected.
After that if you press rollback, even if it seems that the table is back to normal some rows are not editable any more when you click on them.
Sometimes rows display as duplicate on the table with these steps.
So it seems that click to edit functionality does not work properly for newly created rows on editable tables.
What we do to override this is that we create a popup dialog for new row data to be inserted and committed before they are editable in the table.
Test Case
This is mostly because i am up to my head with new projects, BPM, SOA, BI and other fusion middleware technologies. Also because:
- we are using Jdeveloper 11.1.1.6 that is stable
- we are using more or less the well known functionality
- end users have started to get used to ADF functionality

Thanks for reporting, this is now logged as bug #15998003".
ReplyDeleteThe bug report has been updated. A table.setActiveRowKey() call can be used to make the newly inserted row active. ActiveRowKey is an attribute on the table.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteDid you tried clickToEdit mode in JDev 11.1.1.6 ?
The arrow Up/Down keys does not work for me, the user remains on the same row. Is there any specicif setting to achieve this (beside clickToEdit mode) ?
Indeed, we filed a CR for this
ReplyDeleteBug 16073346
yet the response was :
We received feedback from Development that the seen behaviour is worked as designed. As of JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0 it is no longer possible to navigate directly between rows using the arrow keys. Instead you have to press "Escape" first to get into navigation mode. YOu are right about the documentation it has not been changed in 11.1.1.6.0 so I will file a documentation bug for that. In the 11gR2 documentation it has already been changed see:
