I need a text field in a table cell to expand dynamically

When I say expand I mean the whole cell has to grow as the content is entered into it, not just have a scroll bar present to contain the content, every new line should expand the table cell vertically. I've been looking all over and I can't seem to figure this one out, help?

Turns out I just needed to search the forums better, here's a link to the thread with my solution:

  • Setting the colour red for an input field or a text-field in a table

    Hy,
    I am using an input-field or text-field within a table-cell. For some rows in the table the text in the input-field / text-field should be red. How can I do this ?
    Florian Hroch

    Create a new attribute "TextColor" of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.TextViewSemanticColor" (local DDIC types), under the table's data source node.
    Bind the "TextView.semanticColor" property of the table cell editor to this attribute.
    If you cannot add new attributes under the data source node (this is the case if there is a structure binding), add a value node "TableProperties" (cardinality 1:1, selection 1:1) under the data source node and add the attribute there.
    Then you can control the color of the TextView in table row at index i by setting the "TextColor" value for node element at index i.
    For an input field, you cannot set the text color, a workaround might be adding an icon in an extra column.

  • Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination

    I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
    I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
    I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
    Many thanks for your help in advance.
    Marcel

    Hi,
    I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off).  You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it.  You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
    if (xfa.event.shift)
        switch (xfa.event.change)
            case "R":
                this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
                break;
            case "O":
                this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
                break;
            case "G":
                this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
                break;
        xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
    If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line.  But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

  • Long Text Field in a Table

    Hello Everyone,
    I am looking for a solution for including a Long Text Field in a Table. I was not able to find any UI Element for LongText Field in a table. Could anyone suggest me a solution for this. I greatly appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Gopal.

    Hi Pankaj,
    Thanks for your reply. I know that we cannot insert "TextEdit" UI Element in a table as this option is not available in ABAP WD. I also know that we can increase the width of the table Cell editor. But we dont want the Long text field to look like that.
    We are looking for some thing that looks a bit meanigful for entering short paragraphs. It would be great if you can suggest us with some other ways of doing this.
    I hope you can understand my requirement. I appreciate your help.

  • How to write text vertically in an table cell?

    Is it possible to make a table cell where the
    text would be written along a vertical base line?
    I found how to make a text box and rotate it
    vertically.
    How may I place such a text box in a table cell?
    dan    

    Hello daniel,
    if the table will not be resized or repositioned a lot, the best way to display what you want to have is to create a textbox with the styles and adjustments you need, rotate it and place it over the table cell. Be sure to make the cell big enough to pretend the text of the textbox would be inside of it. The textbox has to be a fix positioned object in the top layer.
    It's only a work-around, but the best you can achieve.

  • Interactive Report - comparing user entered text field against a table field - the comparison is not finding a hit when it should.

    Example
    User enters 12345 in a pre filter ----- item_number field and this value exist in the table but its defined as VARCHAR2(2000).
    No match is found.  Do I need to define this text field in a certain way so that a match occurs - say in the element or source for P1_ITEM_NUMBER.
    How does a user entered value of 12345 match a value in the table of 12345 - defined as a varchar2(2000).
    Thanks  

    Why are you storing numbers in a varchar2?
    This is bad designing.  (storing date information in a varchar2 field is even worst.)
    99% of the time, when the number 12345 does not match the string '12345', it is because the value in the table is actually '                         12345'
    Run the following SQL command in the SQL workshop.  (you'll need to adjust to match schema,table,column names)
    select item_number, length( item_number) as string_length
    from schema_name.table_name
    If '12345' does not have a string_length of 5, then you have bad data in your database.

  • Need help: checkbox or radiobutton in table cell

    So basically i am looking for code samples or links to where i can find an implementation of 2 or 3 radiobuttons or checkboxes in a table cell/column, so that for each row, i can have a selection of A, B or C for a particular string in the first column. I can create a table with one checkbox, but i cant figure out 2 or more inside the same cell.
    thanks :)

    The JTable tutorial has a section titled "Using a Combo Box as an Editor". Take a look at their example for how to do this.

  • Need billing text field name for IDoc mapping

    Hi Friends,
    our users use CRM web application to send orders to SAP via IDocs. They want to have billing text (In German it is called Rechnungstext or Faktura text) so that they can enter some text here if they want to enter something. My question is, what is the field name and IDoc segment for billing text? We need this information to map in XI.
    Br, Sats.

    The solution is:
    The standard Idoc text segment can be used for the text in sales order. From SD side the text types have to be customized. This is necessary for the XI mapping.

  • Autopopulate a text field in a table from table

    I am not sure if it is possible but I will explain what I would like to do:-
    I have a table which allows the user to add a name, they also have the ability to add additional names to the table. What I would then like to do is auto populate another table with those details.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    If you had textfield objects that were outside of a table, then you would have the same name for both objects and use the global binding (see the Object > Binding palette).
    This effectively gives you two-way binding. Whatever a user types into one field, will automatically appear in the other.
    However this may not work with textfields in tables, or certainly not in dynamic tables where the user can add rows. This is because the value in an object in one row will be repeated in ALL rows.
    So if you have a static table where the user cannot add rows, then you could set up the rows and objects with different names. The associated static table would have the same naming structure. Then global binding would work.
    If the table is dynamic, then I have a scripted example here, where there is a loop on the exist event that runs through the table and replicates the data in the associated table. See here: http://assure.ly/eTOXaH.
    Hope that helps,

  • DOI Wordprocessor: why is long text being cut in table cells?

    I use DOI Word Processor Interface to populate a [templ.doc] template file with data.

  • Need Help with giving Colors to Table Cells and Table Borders in Dreamweaver CC - Please!

    Hi,
    I am a teacher and use Dreamweaver CC to make my class web page.
    How do I give colors to the cell borders of a table I inserted?  How do I give colors and line thickness
    to table borders, too?
    I bought the David Powers DVD and it doesn't show that.
    Please help.
    Thank you,

    Assuming that you have placed a table in your document and your CSS Designer panel is open
    1. Click the '+' sign
    2. Choose your option. I will choose 'Define in Page'
    3. Follow the above sequence, 1.click on table, 2.ensure table is selected, 3.click on style, 4.click the '+' sign, 5. see the selector appear.
    4. Click on the selector and choose the required Properties.
    You can do the same for the row (<tr>) or a cell (<td>). In fact, this is how you would go about styling anything in your document.

  • Text Field over Text in Table Cell

    When I drag a new text field to a table cell that contains text the field automatically fills the cell and overwrites the text.  Can I put a field over the text in a specific position and how do I do it?  (See Screen shot)

    Thank you for the idea bruce.  I did try that and tried it again just now.  I've attached a screenshot of the result.  It fills the cell and gives me a blue outline with no resizing nodes.  I must be missing something on how to resize the subform.  Any more ideas?

  • Expanding text field in table

    Hi,
    I’m pretty inexperienced with Live Cycle and was hoping I could get some help using text fields within a table.
    I’m creating a form with a table into which the user enters information. I’d like the row height in the table to adjust to the amount of text entered into the text field so as that if necessary the table will expand onto a subsequent page.
    The table exists within a subform and the text fields exist with in the table. In searching this forum I seen talk of dynamic tables but not sure how to achieve this.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Graeme

    To make the textfields grow you need to select 'Expand to Fit' under height in the Layout tab. In terms of going onto another page you need to select 'Allow Page Breaks within Content' in the Object>Field tab and make sure your subform is flowed not positioned.

  • Spry validation text field across two columns in a table?

    I have a table with two columns.  I can easily insert a spry validated text field into the left cell but when I drag the box over so that box is in the right column and the label is still in the left column then that breaks the widget.
    Is this even possible for me to do or do I have to put the widget in just one column?

    Think I figured it out.
