12.1.3 KB text edit box is HUGE

I recently upgraded from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.3
When creating or editing a KB article, you click add/update a summary or some other you can enter text field and the 'Summary' text field is HUGE, about twice as wide as the whole page, which runs way off the screen.
How do I make that smaller?
Thanks

This is actually in iSupport the Knowledge Base.
When you are creating or editing a Knowledge Base article.
Quite honestly I am not sure what the module is called. It is under the Knowledge Management responsibility though.
Oddly enough the article you linked was a question they had also (make that box bigger), so thanks for that.

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

How to hide DecisionUserNote text edit box?

Hi everybody,
Could you tell me the way to HIDE the text edit box which appears in the UWL preview of some tasks used to include a note?
It is supposed that filling NOTES in the Sections to exclude iView property would do it but I'm not getting the expected result.
Neither including the property DecisionUserNote to false in the XML configuration tasks...
THanks in advance!

HI Jesus,
What version of the Universal Worklist are you using? This is really important as I know that there was a fix with regards to the UserDecisionHandler. The following are the values that should be maintained with this propery:
Memo is turned on by specifying u201Ctrueu201D as a value.
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="true"/>
Mandatory memo is specified by putting u201Cmandatoryu201D to value.
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="mandatory"/>
Memo is disabled by using u201Cdisabledu201D as a value.
<Property name="UserDecisionNote" value="disabled"/>
After changing configuration in regards to decision note cache should be cleared.
If this doesn't help please let me know the version you are using so I can check and see if there is a patch available for your version.

CS5 / Win: How can I detect an key in a text edit box

Hi
I like to detect a key (an input) in a text edit box. I suppose I have to install an observer.
- Is that right?
- Sample?
I installed an observer for the dialog and attached the text edit box. But there is no call (in ::Update) if I do an input into the text edit box.
Thanks
Hans

Hi Hans
You can use EventHandler or Observer
For observer, attach the Subject to IID_ITEXTCONTROLDATA
InterfacePtr<ISubject> subject(this, UseDefaultIID());
if (subject != nil)
subject->AttachObserver(this, IID_ITEXTCONTROLDATA);
and then look for change: kEditBoxKeyStrokeMessage
For EventHandler:
create KeyDown(IEvent* e) method and use
const SysChar nCharCode = e->GetChar();
to find which key was pressed, ie. kReturnKey kEnterKey
EventHandler will notify you also if any of modifiers was pressed with the key, like Shift, Alt....

Text editing box becomes inactive when multiple documents are open?

I have a user that recently has a problem when editing documents. If he has more than one document open the text editor becomes inactive (greyed out). It works fine with just one document open still. Is this 'working as intended' or a glitch in the software. User is running Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. We've tried running a repair on the install but that didn't work. I haven't yet tried uninstall/reinstall - I'd prefer to get more information on this before we try that.

The user isn't editing large portions of documents though.
More info from the horse's mouth -
I have used the touchup tool and that is NOT what I want to open up. I am working with detail Maps. The touchup tool will open up and attempt to “touchup” the detail of the maps and that is Not what I am doing. I am using the “polygon” tool and “text box” tool to circle areas on the map and place labels on these areas for our clients. A simple task of adding lines and text. These are basic mark up tools Adobe offers. These mark up tools are what I am having problems with. I do not intend on converting the maps that are already “scaled” and possibly lose that detail. I explained this to Aaron Rasor as well and he has seen the simple issue. The Basic Mark up tools ghost out and become unavailable when I have more than 1 document opened at once.

Text editing window expands instead of creating vertical scroll bar

In the last few days, I have noticed that when I try to edit or post to Wordpress.com the vertical scroll bar no longer appears on the text editing box. Instead the box just gets progressively larger which makes it very difficult to get to other items on the WordPress editing screen, such as tags and categories. This problem seems to have arisen during the v31.0 auto-upgrade. Is anybody else having this issue and what steps can I take to solve it? (FYI, I tried modifying the setting described in another response about a similar issue using the about:config screen, with no success.)

I don't know whether your dashboard has the "Visual" and "Text" buttons, but I believe the Visual uses CKEditor or another WYSIWYG editor and the Text editor might be a simpler design. Are both affected?
I searched around to see whether I could find Wordpress.com support threads or other stories about it and I can't. So I'll fall back on some general suggestions:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* (menu bar) Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove WordPress.com cookies without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
To rule out extensions as a possible culprit, could you try the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, some advanced features, and some custom settings. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* (menu bar) Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Note: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox closes, a small dialog should appear: click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Not able to use the Tab key to Tab indent when within a text edit window...

Two questions please... First one is above for the tab function. In Safari I just need to press control+option+tab to indent a tab within a text edit box on a website. This function is being used more via cloud and mobile capability.
Second... I can, in Safari, Copy and paste a site with tables. Works great in Safari. When I try to do this in FF I lose the formatting of the tables and it just give plain text without the tabled fields.
I would love to use FF because the compatibility if much greater than Safari, but... I need my functionality as well to do my work to the best and quickest ability.
Thank you

Help About says I'm on 20.0.1
Up until last week, I was able to use the tab key when typing emails and other multi-line text boxes.
Suddenly the behavior of the tab key changed. This isn't the first time. It's been quite a while ago that the function of the tab key changed from indenting to moving around the page, then after some time it changed back to indenting.
Can we get this fixed and leave it alone, please?
I may give one of those add-ins a try, but my problem with add-ins is that they break when FF is patched or upgraded, then I'm left with out the solution they provide.
Can we just fix Firefox, please?
Thanks,
Frank
P.S. Another potential fix I came across suggested starting FF in safe mode to see if the problem goes away. It does not. It seems to be a change to FF that appeared after an update last week. On or just befor 24 Apr.

How to align the text vertical in the edit box in mfc?

Hi,
I had an edit box of which height is increased than the default.Now the problem here is when I am entering text into the edit box the text is not present at the centre of the edit box, It is still aligned at the top.
After increasing the height of the edit box the text and cursor are aligned at the top as shown in the below figure.
But Actually how I want is the text and the cursor position needs to be aligned centre as shown in the below figure.
Note: "EDITTEXT IDC_EDIT_BOX,10,73,156,14,ES_AUTOHSCROLL"
Can anyone please help me how can I make the text and the position of the cursor to be aligned vertically i.e, to the centre of the control.
SivaV

If vertical alignment is not possible, then use an edit box without borders, having the default height, and place it inside a static control having
SS_WHITERECT style. (In MFC Dialog Editor, set the Type and Colour properties). Both of controls will be children of dialog. Use a proper tab order. Check if the style
WS_CLIPSIBLINGS is needed too.

Editing data in a text entry box

I want a user to enter about 5 words in a text entry box. But in case of a mistake, they have to type the whole thing again. Is it possible to allow them to click in the middle of text ( say the third word) and add a letter.
At present, you can't get the cursor in the text you have entered. The whole thing gets selected.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Thanks

Which version of Captivate are you using?
In Captivate 5.5 it's perfectly possible to just select one of the words in a TEB to correct that part of the entered string.

How can I show only text edits and not text formatting when using print comments summary?

Acrobat 9.3.0 for Mac.
Here is the scenario: I used the Compare command to see the changes between 2 PDFs. The resulting file some edits are inserts and some are deletions. I want to print a comments summary only showing the text edits. In the Compare Option pane, I select Text and deselect Images, Annotations, Formatting, Headers/Footers, and Backgrounds. Now on the screen I see inserts are highlighted in blue and deletions are marked with sort of a caret and vertical bar symbol. So all looks good at this point. However, when I show the Comments List, I see addtional comments that indicate "Replace - The following text attributes were changed: fill color." Those comments do not appear in the page view unless I check the Formatting check box to show them. With Formatting unchecked, I print a comments summary and all of the "Replace - Fill Color" comments" appear on the resulting comments summary.
I only want to show text edits, not text formatting changes. So questions are:
1. Why, when the Formatting checkbox is unchecked, do the text formatting comments still appear in the comments list when they do not appear on the page display.
2. How can I print only the text content edits and not show the text formatting changes when using Print Comments Summary.

Hi,
You can set ExecuteWithParams as default activity in the task flow then method activity to return total no of rows passing to Router activity if your method has value 0 then call Create insert operation else do directly to page.
Following idea could be your task flow
Execute With param (default) > SetCurrentRowWithKey > GetTotalNoOfRows (VOImpl Method)
|
v
Router
1. If pageFlowScope outcome is 0 then call CreateInsert > MyPage
2. if pageFlowScope outcome > 0 then MyPage
hope it helps,

Text Entry Box not showing all text

I am creating a simple exercise where I would like the user to copy text from the course, paste it into word, and report back what the word count is. I thought perhaps the Text Entry Box would be the best way to go, since if you click on the existing (default) text, you can copy it. However after I place the paragraph of text in the box, and resize in the editor so that all the text shows, it does not show all the text when playing back, either previewd or published. It only shows the last few words of the last line at the top of the box.
Is there something I am missing? Or, is there an easier/better way to do what I need?
Thanks

Hi all
If this is Captivate 4, there may not be any need for a widget to do this. I'm guessing you haven't tried enabling the Scroll Bar for the Text Entry Box (TEB)?
When I just plop a TEB on a slide, I get this in edit view:
During playback it looks like this:
But if I edit the TEB properties and enable the Show Scrollbar option:
I get this in the output:

Text Caption Box not appearing

HI All / Captivate 4 Experts:
I recently upgraded from Captivate 3 to 4. My text caption box is not appearing on certain slides. I do have a click box on them, however when I removed the click box and played the next 5 slides...the text caption box did not appear.
The slides that I have are meant for the user to click on certain areas with the instructions given to them on what and where to click.
Any ideas???
PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!
Jane

Hi there
I happened across a weird issue just last night that was resolved by choosing a different ActionScript version. I'm wondering if you can try this to see if there is a change in behavior.
Click Edit > Preferences > Project > Publish Settings and whatever it's set to AS2 or AS3, try the other option and see if it changes your outcome.
Cheers... Rick

Font specified in Text entry box not what shows in playback

Hi,
I specified 10pt. Arial in my text entry boxes, but the text
shows up much smaller. Only sometimes. Any idea why? Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Deepali

Try selecting all the text in the caption and setting it to
10 pt arial even if it is already set that way. Sometimes there are
invisible formatting characters embedded in the text. Be sure to
delete any blank characters or lines that appear after the text -
these can hold formatting characters also.
If none of this helps delete the caption and start again
making sure your font is set correctly before you start typing.
Also be sure not to copy and edit a caption that has give you
trouble, even if it is fixed now.
A useful hint:
If you are cutting and pasting text from another application
(such as Word) copy it to Notepad first, then reselect it and copy
it to Captivate. This strips spurious formatting characters.
