Working with ADF Desktop Integration Form-Type Components 6-11
To create an EL expression to display calculated data 1.
Open the integrated Excel workbook.
2.
Select the ADF Input Text or ADF Output Text component to display calculated data.
3.
Open the property inspector and click the ellipses button ... of the Value property.
4.
Write an EL expression that gets the output from two, or more, expressions. Example 6–1
shows an EL expression that calculates the difference between the values of List Price and Cost Price columns of an item, and then divides it with
value of Cost Price column to generate a margin.
Example 6–1 An EL Expression for Calculated Data
={row.bindings.ListPrice.inputValue}-{row.bindings.CostPrice.inputValue} {row.bindings.CostPrice.inputValue}
5. Click OK.
For more information about EL expressions, see Appendix B, ADF Desktop
Integration EL Expressions.
6.9 Using Navigation Buttons
You can create navigation buttons Next, Previous, First, and Last to navigate from one record to another as shown in
Figure 6–9 . If the end user changes a record’s data
before navigating to another record, you can choose to save those changes or ignore them.
Figure 6–9 Navigation Buttons in an Integrated Excel Workbook
To save changes before navigating to another record, define the action sets of the button in the following order:
1.
Worksheet.UpSync
2.
Commit
3.
Navigation action for example, Next
Note: If the Value property of an ADF Input Text component
contains a formula, the ADF Input Text component becomes read-only at runtime regardless of the value of the ReadOnly property.

4.
Worksheet.DownSync
To ignore changes before navigating to another record, define the action sets of the button in the following order:
1.
Navigation action for example, Next
2.
Worksheet.DownSync
Note: If you omit the Commit action from the action set, any
pending changes to multiple records are lost when the end users web application session ends.
Note: If you define button actions to ignore changes, then it is the
end user’s responsibility to save changes before navigating to another record.
