Adding a border to a text

Hello all,
anyone know if there is an easy way to add a border to an mx:component at runtime?
I've googled it but didn't find any way other than use a container, like a canvar with a border, but as those texts are build at runtime, also i need the border only when the user select (click on) a text, also ofter the "workspace area" have to be cleaned with removeallchildred, so adding and deleting everytime a canvas for this, and cannot have a reference for it would be a thing I would avoid...

I think we're speaking at cross purposes.
What is the point of a PJC/Implementation class if you cannot create a class which overrides VButton?
Whichever way I do this, I'm going to have to change every button in every form (275 forms). What I want to do is do this in the best future proof way. I think that must be using a PJC.
The main problem with making the buttons bigger is that many forms do not have the room as there are rows of buttons that run the entire length of the form window.
So, please, could someone point me in the direction of examples of button PJCs and any documentation for the classes that Oracle uses for buttons.

  • How to create a single action for adding a border and signature for portrait AND landscape images???

    i would love to be able to create a single photoshop action for adding a border, plus a signature in the bottom right corner, that works for both portrait and landscape images.
    need i say more?!
    i already have an action that adds a signature in the centre of the border at the bottom of the image e.g. the image below. what i want though is for that signature to be on the RHS and for the same action to work for portrait images as well.
    supplementary info: reason for this is that I want to be able to export 300 wedding images (mix of landscape and portrait images) from lightroom in my pre-selected order (meaning the files are labelled from 001 to 300, ordered according to how the wedding day unfolded) and then use PS to add the border and the signature, in the same place, and for it to work for both orientations.
    i need this to work for full sized exported jpeg images, i.e. i want the files that i give on CD to my clients to include my signature in this manner. so I don't want to copy the initial layer and then reduce the second layer size to leave a border around the second layer.
    i hope i've been clear and that someone can help me here. I think that this sort of presentation makes such a difference to final printed image, and I DONT want to have to go to all 300 images picking out the landscape from portrait ones (although this may be what I have to do and wouldn't really take that long but surely there's a better way!!!!).
    Thanks in advance photoshoppers ...

    It is actually quite easy to do if you have a good understanding of how Photoshop works.  To be able to handle any size Landscape and Portrait you need to scale the document to a known width or height.  Once the document is resized to the width or height it easy.  When yot resize the document you use Image size with resample NOT checked.  Not a single image pixels is changed all the happens is the documents DPI is set to the proper DPI resolution to print that size.  This lets you add a border sized for and document.  You can use Canvas Size check relative and  leatve the anchor point centered and set width and height to 2" this will add 1"on all sides. Use Canvas size a second time move the anchor point to the top center check relative and set height 1" the will add an additional 1" border on the bottom.  You then record a text layer with your Name title or what ever to the top left of the image. Select all ant the align the text layer to the selection to move it to the bottom right.
    Adding a couple of scripts to the action you can make sure there is a background layer so the added canvas will be filled with pixels.  You can restore the document to its original DPI resolution to retain the images print size. Down load my crafting actions package it contains a dozen scripts to be used within actions. There are text file with tips and guidelines additionaly there is one on dealing with document size and includes a sample action set with a watermarking action the can watermark and size image. The Action set is also saved as a text file with additional comments I added my downloads can be found here http://mouseprints.net/Photoshop.html

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems.  This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box.  Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

    I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am running into some real problems.  How do you put a border around a text box?  Can you edit the border - color, thickness, etc.?  Help!

    I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

  • Is it possible, automatically, to create a border when a text is inserted.

    Is it possible, automatically, to create a border when a text is inserted.
    Example:
    List with subjects is:
    Name:
    address:
    etcetera...
    When the first subject (Name) is typed then a border will appear around the whole text
    Is this possible in Indesgn?
    Hans

    No. Indesign can't draw borders around text during an interaction. You can either set a border for a text frame or draw an unfilled rectangle around text, which then is an overlaying object, but this can't be automated.
    For an interactive PDF with forms, you can assign actions to a form field, but none to make a frame visible, a frame that would surround the text or show a border on one side.

  • Adding a blank slide with text

    In iPhoto I have created a slideshow that works well. However, I would like to seperate some of the slides into groups by adding a blank slide with text, is this posible?
    Wrongray

    Actually you need to do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto. That will create a jpg image file of the document and import it into iPhoto where you can use it in the slideshow.
    You can also use a 3rd party image editor that can handle text, or one of the iWork applications if you want a fancy title slide.
    Some Image Editors that support layers and text:
    Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac - $79
    GraphicConverter - $45
    Rainbow Painter - $30
    Acorn - $50
    Pixelmator - $60
    Seashore - Free

  • Matte in Save for Web matte is adding a border

    I have an image that has a transparent background and a thick black border across the top.
    When I go to Save for Web and select a white matte, it adds a ~1px white border to the top of the image.  Why is it doing that and how can I get it to stop (other than adding white layers for the background).?
    And where is 4-up?
    It would be really nice if Adobe would list features they delete when listing "What's New".

    I tried nudging the straight black border up a pixel, but that didn't work. 
    And I'm not using "clip to artboard" so the placement on the artboard is irrelevant.
    I know what mattes are for, I have jagged lines and text within the image.  I prefer not to add a white object to the back of every graph, and I'd prefer not to have 20 artboards on this one page.
    I never saw a matte add pixels to straight lines before and never outside the boundaries of the image.  Surely that is not what Adobe intended.

  • Adding a border to a photo  in photoshop elements 6.0

    Please could someone tell me how to add a border to any photo in elements 6, choose the colour, alter the width and also add text to the border, which would be wider at the bottom of the picture in some situations.
    Photoshop elements is useless for "help"!
    Many thanks.

    Mark,
    1. To add border:
    Select>all
    Edit>stroke
    Enter width, color, location:inside
    2. To add text, access the horizontal type tool. The text can be positioned by dragging, and with the move tool, since it is on its own layer.
    If you want to add text below the picture, you need to extend the canvas. Go to Image>resize canvas size. Try 15% (experiment), be sure relative is checked, and click on the anchor point in the 12 o'clock position. Then engage the type tool.
    HTH,

  • Extra space adding during spool data into text file

    I'm using sql developer to query oracle tables. I can export data using GUI of sql developer, but I wish to use spool query to export the data. Using below query, I was able to export the data to specified location, but my final text file consist of additional spaces after each line. These additional spaces between each line is causing an error to upload the text file in different location.
    Did any one face have this issue? Below is my query
    set head off
    SET FEEDBACK OFF
    SET ECHO    OFF
    SET TRIMSPOOL ON
    SET TRIMOUT ON
    spool c:\test.txt
    select cast(memberid||',12'as varchar2(20))
    from abc;
    spool off
    set head on
    set ECHO on
    i'm using trimspool, and trimout, but it is not removing any blank spaces.

    Sorry, I changed my export.sql to the query you provided.
    SET HEAD OFF FEED OFF ECHO OFF
    SET LIN 120 PAGES 0 TRIMS ON
    SPOOL c:\test.txt
    SELECT memberid || ',12' FROM abc;
    SPOOL OFF
    But,the spool query is still adding additional spaces making length of each line 43 characters in final text file output.

  • Can;t see the red line border around the text when I hit the Play button

    On the last page I have a burgundy red lined border. However, when I hit the Play button, that red border does not show. I clicked onto it and then clicked onto: Send to front --- but when I did that, all of the text disappeared, presumable “sent to the back” since the line border was sent to the front so it could be seen.
    I would like to see both text AND red border. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
    ~ Lorna in Southern California

    Lorna,
    With your text box selected open the inspector and go to the shape tab. There select border then you can choose the type of border that you want the thickeness, color and even a shadow if you want. You should be able then to delete the other border that seems to be hiding your text.
    Hope this helps

  • Text types along the horizontal border of the text box instead of being written inside of it. What's wrong?

    I created a text box by dragging the horizontal text tool.
    But when I start typing, the text aligns along the upper border of the box instead of being written inside of it.
    It looks like this.
    How can I fix this, so that the text is inserted inside the defined box?
    Much thanks in advance!

    I just figured it out! Can't believe I was this clueless.
    I just had to change the font height back to 100%. Haha

  • How to: Make a border around a text

    In word or OpenOffice, when i have a line of text I can click on an icon to select it's border... but I don't seem to be able to find how to do that in Pages.
    Is it possible?

    The only option I see on that PieroF webpage is to download it as a .zip file. When I download it and double-click on the icon, I get that zoom-out effect like it's opening, but it doesn't open. Dropping its icon onto the Stuffit icons doesn't do anything either.
    Anyway, I just experimented with masking off a colored matte in the way you mentioned, and I think I see how to do it: create a color matte and then lay two masks on top of it, an inner one and an (inverted) outer one, which leaves only a thin line of the color matte still showing. Is that it? For a double pinstripe, I suppose I would do that twice, i.e. create two masked-off mattes, one a little larger than the other, and stack them up on the video tracks?
    It's more trouble than the Piero frame generator, no doubt, but effective. Thanks!

  • How to put a border around locked text boxes?

    I have a number of locked text boxes. I need to place a border (a box) around them. How do I do that?

    Govan,
    1. It's helpful to give a full and complete description of your problem when first posting in order to get a complete answer and avoid follow up posts.
    2. There's no need post the same answer twice.
    My answer: The stroke/line around a text box is all or nothing. If you want to eliminate the line between adjacent text boxes you'll have to draw a white line over the offending line to cover it up. Once this is done, select both text boxes and the line (using shift-click or command-click) open the Arrange menu and choose Group (or press Option-Command-G). This will keep the white line in place if the text boxes move.
    Good luck,
    Terry

  • Excel file to be added to Maintenance Item long text

    Hello,
    Do you know by any chance whether excel file can be pasted to Maintenance item long text?
    I'm not talking here about adding attachment to maintenance plan itself...
    Thanks for your clues
    Grzegorz

    Grzegorz,
      You should be able to paste the same , as long as you are not concerned about the formatting. If formatting is of importance,you will have to manually format the contents as only limited formatting is supported by long text editor in SAP.

  • Adding Glossary items from chapter text.

    Adding Glossary items one by one is painful.
    Any short cut you can suggest to create them?
    Thanks.

    I'm preparing an iBooks version of a long French text for which I have a glossary in spreadsheet format. Unbelievably tedious to have to now enter all the items one by one. An import function would be awesome, and it would be straitforward to link definitions to target words in the text. No mind-reading required. :-)
