The string.format() method listed in the Apex Documentation does not work.

This (and every other combinations I tried) generate a compile error 'method does not exist or wrong signature' !

<code> 

    double subTotal = 1000.0;
   

    strind s = string.format('{0,number,currency}', subTotal);

</code> 

Is there a way to do such a basic formating using APEX ?!?

Thanks,

Hi,

When does formula evaluation happens ?

Can I assume that formula fields are already evaluated if I want to use their content in triggers ?

Where can I find documentation about this ?

Thanks !

Hi !

I want to rename a sObject and all our custom classes, etc.

Is there a way to "Refactor" this in SalesForce ?

If I change the object name, error: "Existing references prevent save"

If I replace object names in classes, etc, error: "Object does not exists"

I am also trying to do it in Eclipse but without success...

Thanks !

I need to have a Boolean 'selected' field to display a checkbox in a pageBlockTable.

Please tell me I can do this:

public class ibPricebookEntry extends PricebookEntry { Boolean selected; public Boolean getSelected() { return selected; } public void setSelected(Boolean s) { selected = s; } }

Right now, I get this message at compile time:

Error: Compile Error: addProductsToQuote.ibPricebookEntry: Non-exception class must extend another user-defined non-exception class: PricebookEntry

Anything else special I need to add to my custom class ? 

I hope I do not need to add a Boolean field in the PricebookEntry object !

I had code that searched the Product2 object.

I changed this code to use the Pricebook instead but now the FIND command does not seem to work on this object.

It never returns with PB Entries...

This code works:

pricebookEntries = [SELECT id, IsActive, Name, Product2Id, ProductCode, UnitPrice, UseStandardPrice from PricebookEntry WHERE (Pricebook2Id = :opp.Pricebook2Id) AND (IsActive = True) ORDER BY ProductCode];

This code does not work:

pricebookEntries = (List<PricebookEntry>)[FIND :searchText IN ALL FIELDS RETURNING PricebookEntry (id, IsActive, Name, Product2Id, ProductCode, UnitPrice, UseStandardPrice WHERE (Pricebook2Id = :opp.Pricebook2Id) AND (IsActive = True))][0];

Similar queries worked on the Product2 object...

I know there are special settings on the PriceBook to make it not visible in the web interface. 

Is there a restriction on the PriceBook objects that prevent a text search to work on those objects ?

Thanks for any hint on this...

This does not work: 

        Map<String,String> req = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters();

        System.debug.(Logginglevel.INFO, req.size.format);
       
        for (String s:req)
        {
            System.debug(s);
        }

I get this error message:

Error: Compile Error: Initial term of field expression must be a concrete SObject: MAP:String,String at line x column x

What does that mean ?

"currentPage().getParameters()" is supposed to return a "Map<String,String>"...

Also, is there a way to format the debug output a little bit so it is more readable ? It displays in one big string in the Console right now...

Thanks ! 

Hi,

I want to display a table of Product2 items ( List<Product2> ) for selection with a checkbox.

There is no field in the Product2 object for "Selected" item...

Do I actually need to permanently add a "selected" field to the Product2 object ?

Or is there a way that I can temporarily add a checkbox in the table for selection retrieval ?

Thanks !

Hi,

I am new here and to SalesForce environment.

I have been assigned to modify the "Sales Quotes with Line Items" application.

Since it is built with sControls, I planned on rewriting it using VisualForce pages...

Before I start spending more time than I should on this, I am wondering if someone is already updating this package at Force.com Labs... (?)

Thanks !
