APEX 18.1 New Region Features

Note this is about a future release of APEX and the final release may differ from what I describe.

Last month I gave two talks at the NL.OUG APEX World conference. The first was part of the APEX 18.1 new features presentation with Anthony and Shakeeb. There I showed an app that demonstrated new region features. I said I would make the app available. Now that apex.oracle.com has been upgraded to 18.1 pre-release you have somewhere to try it out. You can download New Region Features (18.1). Note: You must install the Sample Interactive Grids app and Sample Charts app first because it uses sample data from those apps.

APEX IG Cookbook for 5.1.4

[Update 30-Mar-2019 there is a new version of IG Cookbook here]
Happy New Year. I wanted to get this IG Cookbook update out the same week that APEX version 5.1.4 was released and Early Adopter for 5.2 came out but a technical problem (described below) and the holidays slowed me down. I will have some things about 5.2 EA to blog about soon. Download IG Cookbook release 3.0. As always make sure you install the Sample Interactive Grid app first because it creates some needed tables.

Visibility and Size Managed Components

For no particular reason other than I feel like writing about it, I’ll now describe some minor functionality that crept into the APEX 5.1.1 patch release. Typically a patch release shouldn’t and doesn’t have any new functionality but sometimes there is no better way to fix a bug. This topic is for the advanced plug-in developer and anyone curious about the internal details of APEX JavaScript. No screen shots, no demo app, no sample code, just raw information; sorry.

APEX Client-Side Validation

There is a new little known sorta feature in APEX 5.1 called client-side validation. You may have missed it because it is not listed in the release notes under new features and only mentioned cryptically, almost tangentially, in the release notes section “Compatibility Mode Changes in Mode 5.1”. It says

“… buttons where the Execute Validations attribute is set to Yes also perform some client-side validations (such as item required checks) and will not submit the page until all issues are fixed”

Other hints and evidence for this feature are the new apex.page.validate function, the validate option to apex.page namespace submit and confirm functions, and the new apex.item getValidity and getValidationMessage functions.

Add Checkbox Selection to APEX Tree Region

Hopefully you have already converted to the APEX Tree implementation. This is important because the deprecated jsTree implementation will be removed in the next release of APEX so that we can update jQuery and Oracle JET libraries to the latest versions. Some people are still using the jsTree implementation because they have custom code to do things such as checkbox selection. Questions about how to do this and other things with the APEX Tree have come up many times on the APEX forums.

This article will describe how to add multiple selection with checkboxes to the APEX tree region. You can try it out here. You can also download the app. It is a 5.1.1 app but this technique should work in 5.0 as well.

Passing Data in and out of APEX Dialogs

How to pass data into and return data from an APEX dialog is something that comes up from time to time on the APEX forum. I have not seen a comprehensive treatment of this topic so decided to work up an example of the various possibilities.

[Updated 23-May-2017 to reflect 5.1.1 and add detail for when dialogs are opened from navigation menu list]
[Updated 9-Jul-2019 with information about security settings to be aware of]
