Arabic in combobox

Hi, I am using a combo box that is populated with arabic data, the problem I am facing is that the text in the combo box is being shown from left to right while arabic language is from right to left. I used TLF for text editor and it's working great, but I couldn't figure out how to use it with combo boxes, and also I couldn't find anything on the web regarding this issue. Any suggestions on how I can solve this issue. Thanks for your help, iNour

There is no Middle Eastern version of FrameMaker, better
switch and use Adobe InDesign CS4-ME (Middle Eastern).
You can import Unicode language text, including Arabic.

If that does not solve the problem or give you some direction, you might be better off posting on the NetBeans Forums. Many people here do not use NetBeans, and a lot of those that do choose not to discuss IDEs on these forums.

TLF not working on Combobox/TextArea/List

There is NO SUPPORT for TLF and right-to-left writting settings in Flash CS5 for this components: Combobox / List / TextInput
Steps to reproduce:
1.Add combobox component to stage
2.Open properties panel and add in the data provider some Arabic text eg.: العربية
3.Publish and upload Flash page on some server
Actual Results:
The Arabic text is backwards
Expected Results:
To show correctly
TLF and right-to-left writtin support is missing completly for this components: Combobox / TextInput / List.
Please test on a computer where Flash CS5 is not installed, because it shows correctly on that machine and incorrectly on a normal user computer that doesn't have Flash CS5 IDE.
* Persists in any browser.
If anyone knows of a workaround please let me know ASAP !
Many thanks,

The reason the combobox isn't doing R-to-L correctly, is because the component is based on TextField (not TLF). TextField does not have support for R-to-L.
The only component converted to work with TLF in CS 5 was the Scrollbar.
To do what you're wanting, you'll need to modify the component to use TLF text instead. Not having looked at that component, I don't know how large of a task that is, but it's certainly doable.

Use ComboBox TableCellEditor - values are not saved to the table model

Hi,
I got a combobox cell editor that uses to edit one of the columns.
And i got an ok button that uses to collect the data from the table and save it to the db.
In case i started editing of a cell and the editor is still displayed- if i will click on the button the data that will be colected from the table model will not contained the updated value in the cell editor.
In this case the user think his changes were saved but the last updated field is not updated.
Is this a bug i got in the cell editor or this is the normal behaviour?
Can it be fixed? (So that if the cell is in the middle of editing the value that will be saved is the last value that was selected).

Getting data in a combobox from database

I have done database connectivity in flex using .net. Now I am getting data in flex in a data grid. Everuthing is working fine if I take data in a data grid.
My problem is that if I try to take that data in any other control, other than data grid, it shows up no data, it only shows "object[object].
for ex:
if I am getting 3 rows from databse and I try to get those in a combo box, den I am getting 3 items in combo box like this:
object[object]
object[object]
object[object]
instead of actual data.
I am stuck in this problem for last 3 days. I have tried lot of things but nuthing is working. Plz anyone help me out soon. Its really urgent.
I am working on a live project and not able to proceed because of this problem.

Hi Bhavika,
You need to tell your combobox which value should be displayed in the ComboBox...for display...
You are getting 3 rows from database which are objects since you haven't told your combobox which value to be displayed it is displaying as [Object,Object]...
So you need to tell your ComboBox which values to be displayed ..and you can do this by assigning the labelField property of the ComboBox..
Say in your object you have three properties say..data, value, name...etc;;
Then if you want display name as your ComboBox display label then simply write ....labelField="name" in your ComboBox ...

No improvement. please help me out of this.

Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

Pages '08 Arabic doc prints in Tiger, not Leopard

I have a Pages '08 doc that is a mix of Arabic and English characters which will not print fully in Leopard but prints fine in Tiger (on either a Xerox Phaser 4400n or an HP LaserJet 4200n). The printer prints a blank page or, occasionally, a PostScript error. It seems that the trouble is specific to the characters in this doc, as other Arabic docs print fine, even under Leopard. I've been able to get parts of the unprintable doc to print by selectively deleting text, but I wasn't able to narrow down exactly what the offending characters or strings were.
Deleting and re-adding the printer and updating the HP printer drivers didn't help. Any suggestions on where I could look for error logs, fixes, further troubleshooting?

I have a Pages '08 doc that is a mix of Arabic and English characters
Pages often messes up Arabic text, especially when mixed with English, and it is normally recommended to use a different app for such things (Mellel is the best). Is your text known to be correct?

Problem setting Index value on ComboBox

I am running into a problem with setting the index on a
dropdown box. I will try to give as much detail as possible. From
what I can tell, it should be working and does, but only for one
item. If anyone can suggest a different group to post to, let me
know. I can not find a solution anywhere.
I have the following code to show a combobox. The data is
derived from a XML config file. The combobox itself works fine and
does in fact show all of the data from the XML config file.
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Label text="Status" width="55"/>
<mx:ComboBox id="uxstatus" dataProvider="{_xmlVulnStatus}"
labelField="status"/>
</mx:HBox>
The part of the XML config file that is used to populate the
combobox.
<mainconfig>
<vulnstatus>
<status>Open</status>
<status>In Progress</status>
<status>Closed</status>
</vulnstatus>
</mainconfig>
Now, when a user selects an item from a separate datagrid, on
change I have it run the following function. The function reads in
the data, parses it and compares the "status" value from the
datagrid info with the "status" options in the XML config file.
When it matches, it sets the index number for the combobox so it
shows the right data. My problem is below the function.
public function parseMSVulnStatus(evt:Event):void {
var xmlMSV:XML = XML(msdetailed.selectedItem); //the host
dataProvider item
//trace ("MS Vuln status = "+xmlMSV.status);
for ( var MSVi:Number=0; MSVi<_xmlVulnStatus.length();
MSVi++ ) { //loop over the items in the dataProvider
var sDataValueCurMSV:String =
_xmlVulnStatus[MSVi].valueOf(); //get the current item.data value
if ( sDataValueCurMSV == xmlMSV.status ) { //compare desired
value to current item.data value
mx.controls.Alert.show("match found - MS Vuln status =
"+xmlMSV.status +" and MSVi = " +MSVi);
msstatus.selectedIndex = MSVi; //set the seletedIndex of the
combo box
else {msstatus.selectedIndex = -1}
if (msdetailed.selectedItem.falsepos=='Y')
{msfalsepos.selected=true;}
The problem. If the value from the datagrid is "Closed", it
shows the index as being "2" and sets the combobox index
appropriately and displays "Closed". The alert box is displayed
(for testing) to show the values.
If the value from the datagrid is either "Open" or "In
Progress", it does show the proper index as being either 0 or 1,
respectively and shows the alert box. However, the combobox appears
to be set to -1. I have verified the data is set properly in the
database (which is what populates the datagrid).
Any thoughts on this? Based on my alert box, it appears that
the data is seen properly and that it knows how to set the index of
the combobox.... it's just not happening (unless it's "Closed").
Thanks in advance.
Chris

you could force a selected index using something like
mydatagrid.selectedIndex=0 or 1 try this pos i made for someone
beacause if you want to cange the value of field based on selection
this could be simpler by using an xml file with all the value for
each record in one object

Arabic and Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF

Hi
I hava an application which calls BI publisher API to generate PDF file from rtf temlate and xml input. It is fine for English contents. But the Arabic or Chinese characters are showing ??? in PDF. If I use BI publisher Desktop to load the xml and generate pdf file, it shows correct Arabic/Chinese Characters in PDF. I also copied ALBANWTJ.ttf file to my application JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/fonts/ folder. But it still doesn't work. Anyone can help me with this?
Thanks a lot!

I created xdo.cfg and put it in my JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ folder. the file is configured as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
<properties>
<property name="system-temp-dir">/tmp</property>
</properties>
<fonts>
<font family="Default" style="normal" weight="normal">
<truetype path="/fonts/ALBANWTJ.ttf"/>
</font>
</fonts>
</config>
But now I'm getting this error while generating pdf file:
Adobe Reader could not open 'xxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Is there anything wrong in my xdo.cfg?
Thanks!

How to enter numbers in Arabic font in the fields

Hi Everyone,
I installed Adobe Reader 10.0.1 multi-Language and I am able to enter Arabic alphabet in the fields, but when I enter numbers in the fileds, it is English. I don't have this issue in MS-Word. i.e., both letters and numbers depend on my keyboard setting and is English or Arabic respectively. The numbers setting in windows in "depend on context" and I think is fine. Do you know how I can fix this issue? Is there any setting in Adobe that overwrights the Windows setting for numbers?
Thanks a lot

I won't say I am very clear about this topic. But I will give an example, which seems to show that number (in the double type) is logically of the form -000.00 while locale spacific String object can be both of the forms "000.00-" and "-000.00"
// you can show the string below (formatted) on a JLabel with the following
//<JLabel_instance>.setFont(new Font("Lucida Sans", Font.PLAIN, 22));
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("ar","EG"));
//NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("fr","Fr"));   // compare
DecimalFormat df=null;
DecimalFormatSymbols dfs= null;
if (nf instanceof DecimalFormat) {
      df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
      dfs = df.getDecimalFormatSymbols();
      dfs.setZeroDigit('\u0660');// set the beginning of the range to Arabic digits.. this can be commented out
      df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(dfs);
String formatted = nf.format(-1234567.89);

Try the following.

if(form instanceof DecimalFormat) formatter_ar = (DecimalFormat)form;
String str = formatter_ar.format(-123.45);
