Global settings for Text Fields?

Is there a way to set the properties for all Text Fields in a Form to be identical
-- with the exception of size -- (instead of having to reset the properties each
time a field is created)?

Like ~grafitti stated, you can set field defaults. Create a field that has the properties you want then right click on the field and select Use Current Properties as New Default.
For already created fields, you can select all the fields on a page, right click, select Properties, and change the properties all at once. You can actually set matching height and width too; with the fields you want the same selected, right click, and select Set Fields to Same Size.

Eliminate printing Border for Text Field???

Is it possible to display border on the PDF and not print on the output for Text Field??? What settings and/or scripting I need to get this working? A sample form is really appreciated.

If you use the standard border (for example), you can use the JavaScript prePrint and postPrint for each field to make the border visible, and hidden. Here's how.
1.) Highlight Text Field in Designer.
2.) In the Script Editor, select the prePrint Event from the dropdown list on the top left. (This works in FormCalc or Javascript, although I tend to use JavaScript as the language in the right hand drop down)
3.) Type in (or paste) the following code:
this.border.presence = "hidden";
4.) Select the postPrint Event.
5.) Type in (or paste) the following code:
this.border.presence = "visible";
Now when you click print, it will make the outside border hidden, and when you cancel, the border will reappear. Now this will not make the 'Solid Box', or 'Sunken Box' of the text field hidden. The easy way to fix this, is set the 'Appearance' in the Object->Field palette to 'None'.
Cheers!

ATP Buckets of Global settings for Availability check

Hi ALL
I have changed the Bucket Parameters and activated ATP time series in Global Settings for Availability Check in Devolpment Server.
I try to transport these settings but ATP Buckets (Active) are not transprting to the Quality.
Please give your suggestions , how to transport these settings to the quality and prodction envirorment?
Thanks
Kanth

Hi Datta,
Thanks for your time and reply.
There is a requirement before you transfer changes to ATP bucket paramters .
>Can you please eloborate your above statment.
Make sure that the updating of ATP time series is activated in Quality and also in production system.
You set this indicator in Model and Planning Version Management from the SAP Easy Access screen by choosing Master Data -> Planning Version Management -> Model and Version Management.
>You mean that i need to activate ATP Time series in all envirorments for which i need to delete the version.In our process already PPDS was implemented and running in Production.We cannot delete the active version.
These settings are not transpotable?
Regards
Kanth

Dual Color for Text field

Hi
I want to display 2 and more data fields in one line and have created as text field which would appear as Heading on each page (centralised in line)
like
Name (Age)
Keith Roan (40)
Jeff Shane (30)
Peter Andrews (30)
Kamal Chawla (30)
Is there a way by which I can display name and Age in different colors and still keep the centralised setting for both as a SET.
1 way is to have them as different fields (name on left - right aligned and age-left aligned), but their position would change i.e The age would appear at same place always and Name would shift depending on the length and it would not truely be centralised settings.
Thanking you in advance
Kamal

Insert both the fields Name and Age on the report and right click>format field>font-->select the color
After changing the colors of both the objects now insert a text object and right click on Name field and cut it and edit the text object and paste it. Do the same for the other field Age and place it in the same text object.
Hope this helps!

Validation for text field: Null and contains no spaces

Currently on APEX 3.2
I want to check 1 text field and 2 text areas to ensure they are not null and blank (hitting the space bar in the field) before submitting the page. How do I do both validations for on each field?

I created a validation with a type of 'Function Returning Boolean' and using the following code in the expression:
IF( TRIM( :P1_Text_Field) IS NULL
Or LTRIM( :P1_Text_Field ) != :P1_Text_Field )
THEN
RETURN false;
ELSE
RETURN true;
END IF;

Need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for Text fields.

Hello All,
I need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for all the Text fields in PDF Form.
Assume that I have a PDF form of Fields from F1 to F100 and it contains 25 Checkboxes, 25 Combo Box and 50 Text Fields. Now i need a javascript for which i need to enable Multiline for only Text Fields. So Is there any JS for which i can enable the Multiline option for only Text fields and not for ComboBox or Checkbox.

For loop for text field

5 check boxes are A, B, C, D, E and 3 text fields are Text1, Text2, Text3.
If any check box is marked, corresponding value(A,B,C,D or E) will be goes into Text1, Text2 or Text3.
It may be output like this
Text1= A
Text2= E
Text3= C
I have placed a code under checkbox A: mouc up:
var aList = new Array("Text1.0","Text1.1","Text1.2");
for(i = 0; i < aList.length; i++)
if(this.getField("CheckBox4").value = "1" && this.getField(aList[i]).value=="") {
this.getField(aList[i]).value = "A";
I do not get check mark when click on check box and "A" value is going into all text fields- Text1.0=A, Text1.1=A, Text1.2=A.
What should I do?

Yes A, B, C, D, E are check box. When I replace to this.getField("A").value == "1", it does not work. I have placed in the On Focus. I am not sure where is the perfect.
Actuall issue is that there are 5 checkbox name A, B, C,D,E. and 3 text field named Text1.0, Text1.1, Text1.2.
If user check A, textfield automatically filled with "A" (into any one text Field of three text Field)
If user check C, textfield automatically filled with "C" (into any one text Field of three text Field)
If user check D, textfield automatically filled with "D" (into any one text Field of three text Field)
So output may be like this:
Tex1.0= A
Tex1.1= C
Tex1.2= D
again if user uncheck A, corresponding value will be removed automatically. How can I do this?

Mavericks slow response for text fields

Has anyone noticed that any text field is really really slow in response after upgrading to Mavericks? I have a mid 2011 mac mini with 8 GB ram, 2.5 TB external disk drives.
It is really driving me crazy having to wait to enter text in. Most noticeble in Safari and iWorks.
thanks
Paul

Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
Thanks in advance.

This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

Set the default border color for text fields?

My InfoPath 2010 text field borders are defaulting to white for some reason (which basically means invisible on a white form). Do y'all know if there's a way to set this somewhere? Drop-downs (for example) are still showing up as the light-grey.
Maybe I accidentally tweaked it but now I can't see where.

Hi
if you want the change color of all the field in new form,edit form and view form then share point designer can help you in that case.
Or you can user page layout in info-path form

Need to add superscript for text field--HELP NEEDED.

Hi Friends,
Is there any way to implement superscript and subscript text in Crystal? For example, I would like to superscript the portion (1) of the following string:
"Buy(1) or Sell(1)"
The only way I have found to do this is to put the "235" in a separate text field that uses a smaller font size, and overlay it into the gap that I intentionally left in the larger text field. For display and printing purposes, this works OK, but if a report containing these strings is exported to Excel, the text fields are exported as separate cells, which makes the exported report look funny.
I can create this string in Word, then cut and paste it into a text field in Crystal (which initially seems to work), but as soon as I click off the field, all the characters in it are converted to the same font size.
If this can't be done in the current version of Crystal, are there any plans for it to be implemented in future versions?

hello all,
the text interpretation for html or rtf in fields will not render superscript or subscript. the basic rule is that whatever you can format directly in a crystal reports text object, that's what you can have interpreted.
look up "text interpretation html" in kbase for a full list.
one option is to turn html passthrough on the server in question if this is a huge deal for you...if you want instructions on how to turn html passthrough on, they are located in the webelements user guide at
http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/255
after doing so, you'd drop the database field into a formula and any html in the database field would be interpreted.

Setting Default Global Settings for Bex Analyzer 7 for all users

We need to set default settings for Bex Analyzer Global Settings when we install SAP-GUI 7.2 in our user's workstations. The current default settings are that all of them are turned off. We would rather not have to run around and change each of our 1,000 user's settings.

Just so any one is looking for the correct solution and it worked for me.
Small correction to the information in the OSS note 1254112.
for setting the legacy version setting use the below string in the registry
"LAUNCH_VERSION" = "LEGACY" insted of "LaunchLegacyVersion"

Where is Background Color Property for Text Field Prompt in Developer 6i

I update all my works from developer 2000 to developer 6i (forms 6.0). All my screens are now irregular becoz, the text field prompt background color property is not present in forms 6i. Can you help me how to solve this prob.
(one more solution i found is, can do the prompt as separate canvas object, but is there any way to set the background color for prompt entered in text field.)
Thank you
Raj

Hi
I think there is a bug in the first release of Forms 6i,
where the prompts got the same backgroung color of the
related item (in fact, it must have no back color,
because it has no "background color" property).
Try applying a patch over it.
