Show in Dynamic action

Hi 990870,

A few preliminaries. Could we get you to change your handle from a number to a name? (I'm Howard.) Also, If you haven't read the useful advice in https://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=1324 , take a look.

A demo is a great idea.

A few thoughts. [I'm only a newbie.] In what I've done, APEX seemingly constructs/makes a page (or region) visible and then updates it. So, one sees the current value and it changes to the the new value before our very eyes. A feature? It could be a useful one. But what we want is to have the page cleared before it's made visible so we don't see the former image. Right?

So, is there a way to change the page before it displays? Can we do this: Hide the region, update the region, show the updated region? Not sure.

But if it were, say, a single button -- maybe that can be done with some javascript. You already have a DA.

One could add a new action "Execute Javascript Code" and in Settings have the following Code:
[This was someone's example to show or hide a button based on a count in P9_COUNT.]

var my_cnt = $v('P9_COUNT');
if( my_cnt > 0 )
{
   $('#MY_SUB_BTN').show();
}
else
{
   $('#MY_SUB_BTN').hide();
};

So one would have three actions on the same DA. The first would hide the region, the second would hide the button and the third would show the update region without the button. Maybe it could work.

I'll see if there's any time to experiment with this today.

Regards,
Howard

Srinivash,

First of all, the built-in refresh has been made so that no screen-flicker-effect would occur: the refreshed region is a bit of html requested from the server, dumped in a container, and then replaces the original html (a report in this case).
What you want, from what I understand, is to hide the region when it is refreshed.

Looking at your app, you probably want to keep the region hidden during the PLSQL code and the refresh action. I just put the "Hide" effect you had under the "False" actions as first action in the "True" actions.
Doesn't that achieve what you want? I'm not sure why you put a false action under a change event. A change will always be a true action, it will only fire when there is an actual change.
