Abbreviate text menu items

I'm working in Ai but this question applies to other Adobe programs.
Is there some way to abrreviate the text menu items ("Stroke", "Opacity", "Character", "Paragraph", "Transform") to "S", "O", "C", "P", and "T", this would save space (working with two windows juxtaposed) and eliminates need to access the drop down menu on the right if working window is smaller.
Perhaps this is too deep for the Preferences to reach... (but maybe it shouldn't be)
thx

It doesn't exist.

Acrobat Forms - Make fillable text box appear after box checked or drop down menu item selected

I have been asked to build an approvals form for my workplace however the approval processes vary considerably depending on the subject. I have been asked to create a list of topics in the form of check boxes or a drop down menu which will then populate a list of text boxes with differing approval authorities and corresponding spaces for signatures. i.e. if 'Topic 1' is selected a list of names and signature spaces will appear, however if 'Topic 2' is selected a different list of names and signature spaces will appear instead.
In order to achieve this I think I only need to find out how to link check boxes or drop down menu items to the appearance of different text boxes.
I should also add that I am a beginner with this stuff.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Remove the red coloured part
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul.MenuBarSubmenuVisible {
left: auto;
top:0;
or start again with the original SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css and follow the rules as in http://www.dwcourse.com/dreamweaver/ten-commandments-spry-menubars.php#one.
Either way will get you back on track.
Good luck.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the a separate text box...more help please

Thanks to Gilad D67 for showing me how to have multiple drop down menu items appear in a separate text box. This stuff blows my mind. Is there any script I can use to make a new drop down menu item appear in the same text box, but on a new line below a previous entry. For example. I select 'cat' from my drop down menu and it appears in my text box. Now I choose 'dog' from my menu and it appears in my text box like so 'cat dog.' Is there any way I can make 'dog' go straight to a new line automatically without having to manually go into the text box and change it?
cat
dog (new selection goes straight to a new line)
Now, I don't have a clue if this is also possible, but imagine, I don't like my drop down menu selection of 'dog' and I go back into the menu and I change to 'rat' but in the text box, 'dog' still appears and 'rat' is added. Do I have to manually delete 'dog' from the text box or is there script that can do this for me.
Any assistance would be incredible. It amazes me how people know this stuff.
This is the script I have so far
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "Use common singular nouns, plural nouns [plural ‘s’] and proper names to say what things are"
    aQuotes[1] = "Use numbers 1–10 to count"
    aQuotes[2] = "Use basic adjectives and colours to say what someone/something is or has"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text30").value += " " + aQuotes[item];

You have to set the option for the text field to be multiline and then change the last line of the script to:
getField("Text30").value += "\r" + aQuotes[item];
To reset the field you can use a separate button with a Clear Form command, and then you just select this one field from the list.

How to change the menu item text

Hi,
in cj20n transaction, for one of menu item i have to change the text of the item. How can i change the text.
Regards,
Ram

HI,
First try to find the exists available for that transaction and find menu exit in that exist. Once you find the exits create project in tcode cmod then go to that menu exit.
Just double click on that exit, it will show the existing text, if you want to change the text then click on change mode, it will asks for package, you have to provide package then give the text whatever you want and save it and activate it.
The new text will be available in your transaction.

Multiple drop down menu items to populate the same separate text box. How can I do it?

In Acrobat Pro X, I've figured out how to create a drop down menu with items that will populate a separate text box, but how can I get multiple menu items to populate the same text box. For example. My drop down menu has three items cat, dog, mouse. I choose cat and it appears in my separate text box (hooray). Next, I choose 'dog' from the same menu. I would like it to appear in the same text box along with my previous selection 'cat.' Is this possible? I'm very new to Java Script, any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

She is the script I'm using
(function () {
    // Do nothing if not committed
    if (event.willCommit) return;
    // Set up an array to hold the individual paragraphs of text
    var aQuotes = [3];
    // Populate the array with the paragraph text
    aQuotes[0] = "cat"
    aQuotes[1] = "dog"
    aQuotes[2] = "mouse"
    // Get the selected item, which is the export value of the selected combo box item
    var item = event.changeEx
    // Display the text corresponding to the selected item in the text field
    getField("Text field 1").value = aQuotes[item];

Is it possible to "drop shadow" on text inside menu items?

As in subject

Hi n-dimension,
Currently, the only way in Muse to get a drop shadow on a text (including the text in the menu items) is using a System Font (which means we rasterize it into an image) and setting no fill color on the Text Frame.
Please let me know if that worked.
Thanks,

Text Field Menu Item

I'm trying to write a Text Field that is also a Menu Item, but when the field loses focus, the text is reset to what it was originally set using setText. (I'm not sure what to put in the input processing methods.) I could use the parent class to fix this, but I'd prefer to keep it all contained in this one. Here's the current code (didn't import anything).
private final static class MenuTextField extends javax.swing.JTextField
implements javax.swing.MenuElement{public MenuTextField(){super();}
public final void processMouseEvent
(final java.awt.event.MouseEvent E,
final javax.swing.MenuElement[]PATH,
final javax.swing.MenuSelectionManager MNGR){}
public final void processKeyEvent
(final java.awt.event.KeyEvent E,
final javax.swing.MenuElement[]PATH,
final javax.swing.MenuSelectionManager MNGR){}
public final void menuSelectionChanged(final boolean IS_INCLUDED)
{setEditable(IS_INCLUDED);}
public final javax.swing.MenuElement[]getSubElements()
{return new javax.swing.MenuElement[0];}
public final java.awt.Component getComponent(){return this;}}I'm using JDK 1.2.1, by the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

you want to email it and I'll look and/or group the fields?

How to reset input Text value on click of root menu item navigation link ?

All,
Jdeveloper - 11.1.1.6
I am facing this issue across the pages.
I have a root_menu.xml based navigation available as links at the top of ADF application. Some of the menu links directly have JSPX pages having the content being loaded , and others are JSPX containing Bounded task flow.
Issue :
On the click of the menu links, the page gets reloaded / refreshed , however the input value given on the page remains displayed even after refresh.
We need the page refresh along with any input test box getting cleared on Menu item click.
Any pointers as to how we can resolve.
Thanks

If your page is in a taskflow (which it should be as you use pageflowscope), you should have a method action in your task flow which you call to clear all the values you use in the UI.

Missing Text and Blank Menu Items

I'm using the UK English version of Windows 8 64bit.
The Creative Cloud Desktop app seems to suffer from a number of blank labels and menu items.
Here's the main menu:
By trial-and-error, I can find the prefences option, which presents me with this:
My guess is that this is some kind of localization issue.
I've tried reinstalling Creating Cloud, but hte problem remains.
Any ideas?

I found a solution to this, in case anyone is seeing the same problem.
As I had suspected, the problem appears to be an isuse with a bad localization file. The trick is to remove the bad localization file.
Navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\ACC\resource\Dictionary
In there, you should see a folder "en_try". Rename this to something else, eg "en_try.blah". This means the app will now fall back to using en_US.
I have no idea what en_try is, or why it's being used in preference to en_US, but this seems to fix the problem.

Implementing menu items and saving state in my app

Hello
I'm a new user to the forums, but have a little bit of java programming experience.
currently i'm writing some business applications, one of which is a payroll system. The target audience is end-user bookkeepers so i am planning for a GUI front end.
My first question relates to how programs save their state. for example, each month the bookkeeper will launch the program and add the next months payments, or he/she will open the program to fix a mistake. In general how do programs like word, excel (or anything) save and load files to work with? I was thinking about using XML. I thought i would load in an XML file containing all work so far, and then the user could save to it, which would add the new work.
Question the second: A lot of gui java apps i use (like argo, symphony etc) have standard menus at the tops. Items like open, save, close, print etc. How are developers actually doing this? is there some premade classes i can just use in my programs as well that would be me this funtionality? This kindof relates to my first question about saving and opening. Further, it seems there are two GUI libraries to consider - either SWT or Swring. Eclipse plugins are written in SWT (from what i have heard). Can anybody recommend which API i should be using to create a GUI for my program?
I think that's it for now. If anybody can provide me with advice i woudl be most grateful, as i'm at a bit of a standstill with my development.
thanks.

was thinking about using XML. I thought i would load in an XML file containing all work so far, and then
the user could save to it, which would add the new work. It sounds more like you are talking about saving the data instead of state--save in a database for mass and long term storage. Simple state info can be easily save in a database also or in a bean or text file.
Question the second: A lot of gui java apps i use (like argo, symphony etc) have standard menus at
the tops. Items like open, save, close, print etc. How are developers actually doing this? is there

Can anybody recommend which API i should be using to create a GUI for my program?Maybe this is not what you are asking, but menu systems are implemented with Menu, MenuBar, MenuItem, etc objects in Java. The specifics of what happens when the individual menu items are selected are left up to the programmer.
If you are looking for prebuilt menubars with code attached to perform common functions, then I do not know of any included in Java.

Missing preferences, tool bars, menu items after receiving CS3 file while I have CS2

I have Indesign CS2. I rec'd a CS3 file not knowing it was CS3. A message appeared as follows:
Cannot Open. Please upgrade your plugins to the latest versions, or upgrade to the latest edition of Indesign.
I went into HELP, Configure plugins. Chose "all" and "required" plugins. I then clicked ok and it said "All plugins available when you restart application" and it still wouldn't open. Then I was sent an exchange version of the same file and it still wouldn't open. I received this message:
Cannot open. InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing or the file may be open in another application.
After this I wasn't able to get my CS2 screen back the way it was before. There's no introduction when I open the program, my tool bars aren't present, and the menu items aren't as extensive as they were before.
It was then suggested I reinstall Cs2. I logged in under the administrator. CS2 was different than the way I had it before but the tool bars were present. I then logged in under my name and there are still problems;no tool bars, missing menu items, no intro, etc.
I then tried rebuilding my preferences using these instructions;
The fastest way to do this for InDesign CS2 (and any CS2 program) is to quit the program, then hold down Command-Option-Shift-Control immediately after starting it up again, and keep those keys held down. (On Windows, hold down Control-Alt-Shift.)
If you mashed on those keys quickly enough, youll get an alert when the splash screen appears offering to Delete InDesign Preferences File?. Click Yes, but dont release the modifier keys while you do so, because youre going to get a second alert to which you should also click Yes.
Now you can release the keys and InDesign will complete the boot-up process with fresh, clean Preferences.
Nothing happened so my program is still missing preferences, menu items and toolbars. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First, you need to realize that resetting preferences will put them back to ground zero, not the way they were the last time you were happy.
You can try the key combination again and see if you are any faster (we're talking near instantaneous) or you can open your user profile, show hidden files and folders and navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 4.0 and rename the two files InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData.
In your case, a better first option, I think, would be to try System Restore which you'll find in System Tools under the Programs > Accessories heading on the start menu. Go back to the first restore point before you tried to open the file, if you can.
In any case, for you to open a CS3 .inx file you will need to be fully patched the the last CS2 update, and you should expect to see some text reflow issues, as well as missing any CS3 features that the author used which aren't supported in CS2.
