How can I change the caption of a text field using data?

Hi, I've read that this is possible to do but when you have an xsd file, I'm using a preview xml data file, so there is no way to link them together, any ideas?.
Thanks!.

1) In Designer, Tools>Options
2) Select Data Binding in the left pane and make sure Show Dynamic Properties is checked
3) Select the field that you want the caption to be driven by XML
4) In the Object palette under the Field tab you'll notice Caption is now green and underlined, click it.
5) If your form is bound to a schema you can see the hierachy when you press the button beside the binding entry field or in your case to access the Caption attribute in your XML type> $.textField1.Caption
Assuming '$' is your root node.

  • How can I change the content of a text field in a PDF form with a defined variable?

    Hello all!
    First time poster, and getting pretty frustrated with trying to figure out this one issue. Here is the scenario: I am using Acrobat 10 Pro to design what is essentially a giant order form. I designed the document in InDesign, defined the various buttons and whatnot and then exported it to Acrobat to continue building the form.
    I have a Radio Button group called "conference_opportunities" which contains different options at different price points, so they are all named the same, but have different values (so that they belong to the same group and only one can be selected at a time).
    What I have done is created a "MouseDown" event on the radio button that sets a variable called "ConferenceOpportunity" which is equal to the title of the option they are picking. I then want to take that variable and display it in a text box called "Conference_Option". I am using a variable because the values of my radio buttons are all the actual prices of the option they are picking, so I can't define the value as the title of the option.
    So its an array of radio buttons, and at the bottom of the page there is the Option They Selected, the quantity (which can change) and the value (in dollars)
    I also then want to display this variable at the end of the document as a sort of summary of everything they chose to purchase as well but I imagine its the same code.
    I am not an expert Javascript person at all, so any code snippets would help greatly. I have looked over the Adobe Document on the SDK and API and have not been able to find a solution. I have also turned to the almighty google and still no luck.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks Everyone

    All you now have to do is use that variable to the value property of your text field... So add this at the end of your code:
    this.getField("Conference_Option").value = ConferenceOpportunity;
    Also, I would use MouseUp, not MouseDown.

  • How can I change the Background in a text-field into lets say grey?

  • How can I change the background color in text box using RGB format

    Can some one tell me if Mac Pages (version 5.0) allows users to customize the background color of a text box using RGB color format?  It appears that the text color can be changed using RGB but background color is limited to a few standard colors.   Thanks

    They are just sample swatches, use the Color Picker to choose anything you want.

    I'm using pages.  How can I change the shape of a text box to arch?

    You can't do that in Pages. If you need text in an arch use Art text 2 lite, free from the Mac AppStore.

    if u tap that it will take you to the normal tab

  • How can we change the behaviour of a method by using proxy ??

    Hi ,
    can anybody tell me how we can add or change the behaviour of a method in java using the proxy object ?? it would be better if u put ur idea with an example .
    Thanks ,
    Ganesh

    Please take your time to write full words: "you" instead of "u", "your" instead of "ur". It makes your posts a lot easier to read, especially for those of us who don't have English as their native language.
    You can not really "modify" the behaviour of a method by using a proxy, but you can create a proxy, direct all but one method to the original method and provide a separate implementation for the target method.
    This way you'll have two objects with the same interface (not only in the Java sense, but all methods look the same), but differing behaviour: the original object and the proxy.
    Now if you pass around the proxy instead of the original object, then it'll look as if you changed the behaviour of your object.

  • How can i change the html, jsp, js, css file using ../tools/filemanager.jsp

    Hallo Experts
    I want to know how to get the html, jsp, js, css file using .../strategy/tools/filemanager.jsp? If I search the file such as "commentslist", I'll find the file. It is shown in the table with three columns:
    Column with trash symbol for deletion, Path and Date. But I cannot to fetch the file and saved local to make the modifications.  Could you tell me how I can get the file? Is there another way to this?
    Thanks a lot and
    Best regards!
    Ping

    Wang,
    If you are looking at the commentslist file with the intention of customizing, you would use File Manager Path to be directed to the file's location:
    \usr\sap\<3 letter CE instance>\J00\j2ee\cluster\apps\sap.com\xappscpmsm~strategymanagement\servlet_jsp\strategy\root\pilotworks
    Any customization would have to be noted, since upgrades will overwrite customizations.
    Regards,
    Bob

  • How can i change the format of output captured footage using DSR-11 in Premiere Pro CS5.5?

    Hi.
    I am using Premiere Pro CS5.5, capturing footage off a mini-DV casette (NOT HD) using a Sony DSR-11. All is well with that, except for that the output is an .avi rather than MP4 (H264). I am under the impression that H264 with the extension of .MP4, is better than avi.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to change the format of that outputted footage?
    thanks:)

    thanks Ann, Jim. I was afraid u'd say avi is the only option w/capturing, but am happy to hear it is the best option. Thanks again, and to the others who replied (and i will look at the "best export format/codec" page:)

  • How does one change the "rollover" value in text field of fillable PDF

    I have a fillable PDF, and the values displayed when rolling the pointer over a fillable text field are showing some strange values.  I inherited this form from someone who is no longer with the company.  I need to be able to change the values but can't figure out how.  I'm new to LiveCycle so any help is greatly appreciated.

    I guess you are referring to "Tool Tip" you can update those in "Accessibility" Pallet...in designer you would access this by Shift+F6.

  • How can I change the password for my access to using firefox?

    Answers deny there is any password -- however, now and then I am asked to confirm that I am the person identified on the MY Yahoo -- I am asked for a username and password.
    An example is when I change computers and Yahoo or Mozilla does not recognize the new computer.
    I do not understand -- yes normally, I simply open the browser and use it. BUT!!!
    I am probably using the wrong jargon for what I want to change.

    hello, yahoo will log you out after 2 weeks for security purposes - it might also recognize when you access your yahoo account through a different device & ask for authentication again. this is all determined on the server-side by yahoo, so firefox can't influence such behaviour...

  • How can i change the voltage of my power supply using my pci gpib 488.2 driver?

    I need to be able to control the voltage outputed by the power supply. I have a pci gpib 488.2 and I downloaded the correct driver. I also don't no exactly how to use the communicator included in the measurement and automation explorer. When ever I type in the commands I get an error. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
    thank you

    First see if you can establish communications with the power suppy using Meas and Automation explorer (MAX for short). If you can find your GPIB card in the directory tree choose it and then use the scan for instruments tool. If it can see your power supply it will give you it's address. Choose it and try the Communicate with my instrument tool. It will send a IDN? command to that address and it might return a string if the instrument understands the command. If not you will need to dig through the power supply manual to find the correct commands.

  • How can I change the flow of threaded text?

    Hi I have a 90 page Indesign 5.5 document in which the text is threaded.
    I need to move several pages to another part of the document.
    When I move the pages with the pages pallet, the threads go all over the place.
    How do I either re direct the thread so it runs in the order I want them to, or break the threads and
    re thread them once move is complete?
    I would be grateful to anyone who could assist, as I seem to be going in circles trying to remedy this problem.
    Lindy.

    What do you mean by break the thread? You can break the link between threaded frames by clciking on either the inport or the outport of a frame, then clicking inside that frame, but all of the text inthe the thread will remain with the "upstream" section of the broken thread and any text that was in the downstream section will become overset. You can then insert a new page, pick up that overset text and thread throughthe new page and back into the old section, which remains threaded together.
    If you want to actually break the story apart into separate threads, you need to brboth break the thread and cut the overset from the original portion and paste into the empty section. This has been scripted by Dave Saunders for your convenience, or you can do it manually. You'll find Dave's script at http://jsid.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
    If you eancounter errors when running the script, move it into a subfolder named "Version 4.0 Scripts" (without the quotes) and it should run,I think. For instruction on how to install scripts, see How to install scripts in InDesign | InDesignSecrets

  • This should be easy! How can I change the background colour of my fields?

    Apologies if this has already been posted but nothing has come up via Google nor the Forum search.
    I'm sure this should be easy but it's really doing my head in!
    I have a number of textboxes, dropdown lists, etc within my form - I have set Custom backgrounds on each which are visible within Design View. However, in Preview PDF all the fields have a default blue colour and only change to my Custom backgrounds when you enter the field.
    Is there a way of removing the default colouring of fields so that it's the same as my Custom backgrounds? My Custom backgrounds are 'linear to bottom' so I don't want to just set border.fill.color to one colour.
    Thanks for any help,

    Hi,
    If you include this Javascript in the docReady event of the root node (default "form1").
    app.runtimeHighlight = false;
    This will turn off the field highlight. It doesn't prevent the user from turning back on the highlight, but it will mean that your form opens with the highlight off.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • The blue background colour is not shown with my client, so how can I change the frame colour of a field?

    Hey,
    I do have a problem, my client does not see the blue marked background fields in my form. He uses the version Acrobat X1, 11.0.10. I do see it with my Acrobat Pro and the Acrobat Reader version. Now I wanted to highlight the fields with a colour or a frame colour, but I can't select any of it. I don't want to mark the fields in Indesign and then put form fields in Acrobat over it. But I don't know any other way. I'm working on a Mac, my clients uses Windows.
    Can you please help me out?
    Thank you so much,
    Anna

    They can enable it by going to Edit - Preferences - Forms and clicking the "Show border hover color for fields" box.
