Fill a text box or other in a form with output of a select Query

Hi
Does anyone know if you can fill an object with an output from a select query on a form. I am trying to display a piece of data on a form , that is related to the data on the form. I do not need to edit this peice of data.
The version of PORTAL i am using does not support forms created on views.
Is this possible!!
Thanks

  • What you see is not what you get (gradient fills in text boxes do not reder

    I have a web page that has a lot of text boxes with gradient fills. Some of these render correctly in Safari but many do not. They all look fine in iWeb. I copied one that rendered correctly and the pasted version did not. (the gradient fill did not cover the entire text box) Text boxes with two lines of text seem to have the most problems. Most copied text boxes also have problems.

    Using a shape with a gradient fill and dragging a plain text box on top of it instead of just filling a text box with a gradient fill does work. However, Im not sure the problem is converting my text to an image as the html still has my text inside of tags even with the gradient fill. It seems like iweb should produce web pages that look exactly like what is shown in iweb.
    So my question is not completely answered, but I do have a work around. Thanks

  • Why Does my text disappear when filling a text box?

    I am trying to fill a text box a little larger than a sheet of paper (8.5x11). I have typed my statement and copied and pasted it end to end so that my text box will be filled with a repeating statement. When the text box gets about 1/5th full I get a little red plus sign in the lower right corner to indicate overflow. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The box is only 1/5th full and should not be rendering an over flow. Even if it was an over flow the text in the box should remain visible. Hyphenation is on. Dragging the corners to resize the box is not helpful.
    I have drawn many text boxes and used various size fonts and leading, nothing seems to help.
    Illustrator CS3
    Macintosh dual-Intel

    Something is definitely corrupt here. Not only does the text extend beyond the displayed bounding box, but double-clicking on the Characters line in the Appearance panel shows "No Selection," even though the bounding box still shows, and the text vanishes. Attempts to edit the text on the artboard also cause it to vanish.
    When I create a new type object in your document and follow your described procedure, the result is the normal, expected behavior. Have you tried to repeat this in a new document? After restarting Illustrator? After rebooting your computer? After deleting the preferences?

  • Users are adding text boxes and not typing in form fields.

    I have created forms for a client to use as grade school report cards. Some of the teachers are having issues because they are not clicking on the form fields to add information. They are actually creating and editing their own text boxes. The instructions to click on the form field and type do not seem to be working. Any suggestions?

    You can use standard password security to allow form filling but disallow commenting, which includes adding text boxes.

  • SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.

    Hi there,
    Does someone know in SharePoint 2010 list view - How to filter on a multiline text box field - the view filter does not allow me to select it.
    Thanks,

    Hi，
    Per my knowledge,
    it is by design that the data type multiple lines of text can only use “contains” and “begins with” operators.
    You can also filter the list view using SharePoint Designer,
    Open your list AllItem.aspx page in SPD ->click “Filter” > in “Field Name” select your multipe line of text field, in “Comparison” will displayed four choices.

  • Assigning Value to text box which is in another form

    i have got created on form with link buttons, on click of these link buttons it will take me to another page which has got matrix, on double click of this matrix the value should be assigned to a text box in previous page, can any one tell me how to do it. it's very urgent.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Jayanth

    Hi Jayanath,
    I am putting a code that I am using to put values between different forms.
    You will need to Change the String "FormID" with your own ID that u assigned to the form while creating. Also change "TxtControl"  with your textbox ID. This might not be the exact solution to your problem but by manipulating it a little you will be able to do it.
    Dim MatrixValue as String
    oTextBox = CType(SBO_Application.Forms.Item("FormID").Items.Item("TxtControl").Specific, SAPbouiCOM.EditText)
    oTextBox2 = (SAPbouiCom.EditText)oMatrix.Columns.Item("ColumnID").Cells.Item(SelectedRowNo).Specific
    OTextBox.Value = OTextBox2.Value
    Hope it Helps

  • I am unable to type in a text box on a PDF fillable form.

    I have previously had no problem typing in text boxes on PDF fillable forms in Firefox but now nothing appears when I try in to type the information in. I am not having this problem with the same PDF forms on either the Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers.

    Your system details list show shat you have two Adobe Reader plugins installed.
    # Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.1
    # Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.5"
    Uninstall them both and install the latest Adobe Reader version.

  • Problems auto-filling a text box

    Hi,
    I am trying to populate a text field with either "Yes" or "No" based on the value placed in another text field. If the value in [textfield 1] is greater than 0, I want a "No" to appear in [text field 2] and if the value of [textfield 1] = 0, I want a "Yes" to appear in [text field 2]. If [textfield 1] is blank, I want [textfield 2] to be blank. I have put the following code into the Custom Calculation area of [textfield 2]:
    var a = this.getField("textfield 1").value;
    if(a=="") event.value = "";
    else if(a>0) event.value = "No";
    else if(a==0) event.value = "Yes";
    Currently if the value from [textfield 1] is greater than 0 a "No" will appear, but the field remains blank if the value of [text field 1] = 0. I'm not sure why this is. This code has worked for me before when the value conditions are different. Is it something to do with the 0?
    I also want some other fields to be visible when [textfield 2] is populated with a "No" in the box and hidden when [text field 2] is populated with a "Yes". This is the code I used in the custom  validation script:
    if (event.value =="Yes") {
         this.getField("textfield 3").display = display.hidden;
         this.getField("checkbox1").display = display.hidden;
    } else if(event.value =="No") {
         this.getField("textfield 3").display = display.hidden;
         this.getField("checkbox1").display = display.hidden;
    Again this code has worked for me for other fields. I'm thinking it doesn't work now because I don't have the Calculation Script working yet?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    It seems as though in my calculation code this line:
    if (a=="") event.value = ""
    conflicts with this line:
    else if(a==0) event.value = "Yes".
    I changed the values in my code so that if a>10 it would return a "No" and if a<10 it would return a "Yes" and it worked perfectly. However, when I use the above code (a==0, it just leaves the box blank. I would take out the first line of code (a==""), but I would like the box to be blank until data has been entered into the form.

  • How do I save preferences for automatically filled in text box?

    G'day
    I've got a popup button that lists all the external disks on my computer, and when a user picks a particular file on one of them, the path is displayed in a text field.
    If I edit the field, it's saved automatically, but how do I save/update the preference bindings without editing please?
    Regards
    Santa

    it's OK, I figured it out. For posterity...
    First define the property...
    property NSUserDefaults : class "NSUserDefaults"
    then to read...
    tell standardUserDefaults() of NSUserDefaults
    set tempDiskPath to objectForKey_("DiskPath")
    set tempDayReportDisplay to objectForKey_("DayReportDisplay")
    set thetempYears1 to objectForKey_("theYearsStrings")
    set tempYear to objectForKey_("tempYear")
    set theDayYears1 to objectForKey_("theDayYearsStrings")
    set tempdayYear to objectForKey_("tempdayYear")
    end tell
    the to write...
    on applicationShouldTerminate_(sender)
    -- Insert code here to do any housekeeping before your application quits
    set tempDiskPath to DiskPath's stringValue() as text
    set tempDayReportDisplay to DayReportDisplay's stringValue() as text
    set thetempYears1 to (theYear's itemTitles()) as list
    set tempYear to theYear's titleOfSelectedItem() as text
    set theDayYears1 to (DayReportYear's itemTitles()) as list
    set tempdayYear to DayReportYear's titleOfSelectedItem() as text
    tell standardUserDefaults() of NSUserDefaults
    setObjectforKey(tempDiskPath, "DiskPath")
    setObjectforKey(tempDayReportDisplay, "DayReportDisplay")
    setObjectforKey(thetempYears1, "theYearsStrings")
    setObjectforKey(tempYear, "tempYear")
    setObjectforKey(theDayYears1, "theDayYearsStrings")
    setObjectforKey(tempdayYear, "tempdayYear")
    end tell
    return true -- current application's NSTerminateNow
    end applicationShouldTerminate_

  • Is it possible to horizontally reverse a single character in a text box containing other text?

    I have a client that wants every subhead to begin with a backward character throughout the entire book. 21 chapters, roughly 4 - 5 subheadings per chapter - the reversed character will always be an R in the same font. I don't know if there's a style setting I'm overlooking, but I would very much like to be able to define it as a character style. Much thanks in advance to anyone posting useful information!

    I don't think it's possible to reverse just one character, but here is an interesting work-around. From jongware, (a frequent and helpful poster here), a script demo that you can use to make a single character font.
    Download the One-Character Demo from http://www.jongware.com/binaries/indyfont_demo.zip, unpack and copy it into your User Scripts folder. Run the script once to set up a font template, draw your custom character -- the default is a bullet --, then run the script again to convert it to an OpenType font.
    You would need to flip your letter R and convert it to outlines, then use the script to make it into a one-character font. You cant then set your subhead style to have bulleted (with your reverse R defined as the bullet).

  • Acrobat 9 - Currently a PDF I have crossed out text, highlighted, utilized Text Box Tool, etc. will not print with those edits.

    The original, unedited pdf prints without the edits I have made.  Used to be able to and can no longer do so.  Any suggestions?

    In the Print dialog, make sure that under "Comments & Forms" you select

  • ID CC 9.2.1: Interactive PDF, text boxes use wrong font

    When filling out text boxes of an interactive PDF (created with InDesign CC 9.2.1) in Adobe Reader X, the font used is always Times Roman or such. Whatever I've tried so far, I fail to make the interactive text boxes use a specific font. Should be the same font that's used for the rest of the text on the page. During exporting the PDF, I've instructed InDesign to embed all font glyphs.
    Is there a way to get around this problem?
    Andreas

    You have to work on it after exporting to PDF in Acrobat Pro and change the font there.
    BUT: Don't choose exotiv fonts, use the normal standard form fonts, otherwise the file size will increase, because every font in the form must be embedded. Another problem is that older versions of Adobe Reader or Acrobat or some other possible PDF readers only support the standard form fonts, like Helvetica, Times, Courier in Bold, Regular, Italic, and Bold Italic. So it is better to submit to this limitations.

  • How do you use the combo box to populate a text box

    I am a beginner when it comes to Java Script.  I have viewed many different discussions, look at a lot of "help" articles dealing with Acrobat 9 and Java Script, but only to be left confused and dazed.  I am hoping someone will be able to tell me how to write a script that will populate a text box that is on my form with the combo box selection's export value...
    Thanks

    If you want the text box to be read-only, just set it up with the following custom calculate script:
    // Set this field value to the value of the combo box
    event.value = getField("combo1").value;
    but replace "combo1" with the actual name of the combo box field.
    If you want something else, post again with more information.

  • Fill a PDF form via Excel (VBA) - Hide text box

    Hi,
    i already created a PDF form and also can fill the text boxes with Excel VBA.
    Now i'm about to hide some fields if they are empty, but i have no clue how to.
    My code to fill the fields is:
    Fields("Title").Value = Worksheets(TabName).Cells(actCell, 4).Value
    To hide a field the code should be similar, but i have no clue what statement i need to set.
    I already tried:
    Fields("Title").Visible = False
    Fields("Title").Hide
    Fields("Title").Hide = True
    What else can i type to hide and unhide the fields?
    Looking forward to hear from you.
    Thanks a lot.

    Does the form have a provision to insert images (e.g. a Browse button)?

  • How to fill in a text box on a pfd form downloaded from the internet

    I am desperate to know how to fill in text boxes on a pdf form that has been downloaded from the internet

    Usually you just click in it and start typing... If that's not working then maybe what you're seeing is not a real text field.
    In that case you can probably use the Add Text Comment tool under the Comment panel to add text to the file.
