Apex 4.2: Help text to show as dotted line instead of default circle

Hello
I've entered help text for most fields on a long form.
The help text icon is a grey circle with a question mark in it, which displays to the right of the page item.
Occasionally, the help text icon doesn't fit on the line, and displays slightly or entirely below the page item.
I'd like the help text to display instead on hover of the page item label, which should display a dashed or dotted underline.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Emma

Dashed/Dotted Line instead of underlined Text

Hi All,
I am trying to build a component in which I need to show dashed or dotted line instead of underline for <mx:Text/> control.
Say if I have underlined text in various places in a <mx:Text/> I want the that text should be underlined with a dashed/dotted line but not complete solid line.
How can I acheive this...? Anyone having any ideas on this ...?
Thanks in advance,
Bhasker Chari

Hi GordonSmith,
Thank you very much for replying...I also had this thought in mind but it would be very difficult it seems because inorder to find the coordinates of each character where the underline is there and push the coordinates into an Array by traversing the whole text and after that we need to draw the lines onto th e UI using the drawing API.
And one more thing I have observed is using the drawing API(by drawing using sprite) we need to add the sprite to the stage so we need to draw for each and every underlined character using sprite and we need to add it to the stage.
Say if the <mx:Text /> control is in a canvas container then we need to add sprite instance drawing dotted underline for each word and add it to the Canvas container...but this will make the positioning of the dotted line very difficult.
Hope this makes sense....
Thanks in advance,
Bhasker Chari

Getting help text to show on fillable form

Hi all,
This might be really simple but I've created a few forms in FormCentral and I've included the 'help text' on a few fields. When I save the form as a PDF and open with Adobe reader, I get the purple bar across the top stating 'Please fill out the following form', however the help text does not show up anywhere to give guidance?
Is this a particular view setting in reader?
Thanks,
Cory

The help text won't display in the purple document message bar at the top, but should appear as the tooltip text when the mouse cursor hovers over a field that has help text set. It works that way for me.

NEED HELP - Text Messages showing up hours later and no more notifications

Up until about 3 weeks ago, I was very in love with my S3 as it worked perfectly. Then about 3 weeks ago (March 12 or so) I started receiving my text messages hours or days after they were sent. We then went to Canada for a week and I had no mobile data. The issue with my messaging continued, except now I rarely get a notification when I get them. I have been back a week and it has gotten worse. The messages seem to come all at one time once or twice a day, there is no notification when they come, and I am occasionally missing messages. It does not matter who the messages are from. I have rebooted the phone multiple times. I have tried using Handcent SMS instead of the default messaging application to no avail.
Is there something going on with Verizon Text messages?
Is there another place to go besides the following to set notifications?
Messaging
Menu
Settings
Notifications
Check everything, Default Ringtone, and Alert Once
Since this started before we went to Canada, I do not think that was the cause. Although, there were several times that I got the message Updating Sim Card information when we were there and I had the wrong time a lot of the time.
Please Help!!

So today I go to send a text and get one from last night. Don't get the sound but it did show up on my notification bar. I sent the text and realized my clock was off by an hour. I went into settings, Date/Time and both are set to Automatic, but for some reason it is showing Central Time Zone. I uncheck Automatic Time Zone and set it to Mountain Time Zone, exit Settings, and perform a Shut-Down. Pull the battery, Sim Card, and SD Card and reboot the phone. Go back into Date/Time and reset it Automatic. This time it stays in the Mountain Time Zone.
Could I possibly need a new Sim Card?
Please Help. I really do not have time to go wait in line for an hour at the Verizon store for them to tell me that they will have to look into it and then not get back to me for a few weeks, if at all.
Thank you.

Show ebook cover page instead of default EPUB icon

Hi,
As my collection of PDF ebooks was growing, I grew to appreciate the fact that Acrobat was showing the ebook cover in Windows Explorer instead of the default icon. It allowed me to quickly search for ebooks by browsing through the covers quickly, much like I could quickly scan a bookshelf of “real” books to find the one I am looking for, remembering the layout and the colours.
Unlike Acrobat, Digital Editions does not show the EPUB ebook cover in Windows Explorer; rather, it shows a default EPUB icon (it does show the cover in its library, but not at the Windows Explorer level).
As a growing number of ebooks I purchase are now in EPUB format, I would find it very convenient to see the ebook cover instead of the default EPUB icon.
Is there a way to achieve this with the current Digital Editions? Is there an obscure setting somewhere that would turn this on? If not, may I suggest Adobe to implement this feature in the next release of Digital Editions? Although I prefer to stick to official Adobe products rather than third party software, in the meantime, I am also open to third party EPUB reader that would have that capability if someone could make a recommendation.

HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

HELP! animated text not showing up in final render (after effects)

I'm using position and motion blur for my animated text. I changed the font several times to see if there was any license issues and there isn't. I also put a static text layer in the file and then rendered, and THAT text will show up, but moving text refuses to show up. What can be the problem? Please help!

We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"
Note, especially the request for screenshots of the relevant panels, such as the Timeline panel and Composition panel.

'Include help text' does not show up in PDF

I am using the Adobe Acrobat XI Pro trial to create writable PDF registration forms, and when I use the 'Include help text' and add the required information, once converted from 'FORMSCENTRAL' into a PDF, the '?' disappears.
I also can't work out how to 'Save as' in 'FORMSCENTRAL' for different versions of this document (similar registration forms but for five different cities) to make alterations. It seems I have to recreate each city all over again for the PDF version, when I need to make one small change to the Terms and conditions section on our form, for example.
I would appreciate some guidance, thank you!

Close the form so you are looking at the "My Forms" tab, the view that shows you all of your forms. In the "My Forms" tab you can right click on a form and choose "Duplicate" from the context menu or you can select a form and click on the "Duplicate" button in the toolbar above the list of forms.
Thanks,
Josh

Apex 4.02 BUG: text field with autocomplete. wrong help text

Following the wizard for a text field with autocomplete you reach a screen where you can enter a LOV query. The text area for the query has the following help text
Enter the query that will return the list of values. The query must select two columns in the following order, first a display value then a return value. For example:
select ename, empno
from emp
When selecting two identical columns, be sure to use unique column aliases, for example:
select ename d, ename r
from emp
However the query should return only 1 value.

Thanks Rene, I have fixed that in 4.1.

Patrick

End of Audio event - show help text

Is there an event handler that can be tagged to the end of all audio clips in project to show help text?

Welcome to the forum. It helps mostly to give a correct answer if you mention the version (exact number) you are using.
I don't know about such an event:

You will have to use the timeline to start the help text timeline just after the audio clip finishes.

ORA-06502 on "Help Text" region when changing pages on a tabular form

Hello everybody,
We are developing an application on Apex 4.1.0.00.32. This application have some pages with tabular forms and these pages uses a page zero as template. In this page zero, we have added two sidebar regions: a list region to navigate on the application and a help text to describe how to use our application.
The problem occurs when the tabular split the records into pages (since it has more records that it can show on a single page). When the user clicks to change to another page, Apex raises an ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error as described below:
Erro ao renderizar a região "Ajuda". ORA-06502: PL/SQL: erro: erro de conversão de caractere em número numérico ou de valor

Obs: Our database is in Brazilian Portuguese, so I guess it will be hard for some people to understand the first two lines! :)
We have tried to change the pagination style of the tabular form and change the region model of the help text but the problem still happens.
Does anyone an ideia about what this may be?
Thanks in advance!

I am getting the exact same message, to the line number, also in APEX 4.1.0.0.32.

Creating Popup Help Text

Hello All.
I've created an HTML Text region containing a List of hypertext links. What I am trying to do is to have a text message appear below the region whenever a user hovers over a given link. This message will explain something about the link.
I created a "HELP Region" in which I wrote some help text specific to a given link. But I don't know how to get this text to appear only when a user hovers over a specific link. This help text should appear BELOW the region containing the list of links.
Is there any way to do this?
Should I be using Javascript? If so, does anyone have an example they can show me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Ok in response to your questions:
1) In my APEX regions, where exactly do I place this
javascript. I'm new to using APEX, and so, I'm not
sure where it goes.The best way to do this would be to put the javascript functions into a separate file eg showHide.js.
You can then import this into your application by adding it to the top of your template using HTML. This means you don't have to add it for every page, and it will also only be imported once per session, when user first enters the application. For the onMouseOver and onMouseOut bits, they need to be added to the "HTML Form Element Attributes" in the "Element" section of the page item you want the region to use to make the region appear.
2) Do you think there is a way to toggle the actual
language used in my text messages that I will be
showing/hiding? In other words, is there some sort
of
language like options in javascript that allow for
display of different languages such as Arabic or
German?ApEx does have language translation, but I believe this is only for things such as titles, and headers etc, not for free text. With regards to "toggling" a language, you could create mulitple regions with each language, and then display them conditionally based on the language settings of the browser?
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful on the last question, but let me know how you get on. Let me know if you have any further questions.
All the best,
Cj
