b Track Text Item Change /b

Hi all,
I'm using Forms 6i.
I want to track the changes in a Text item.
I want to uncheck one check box, when the user changing the value of the particular text item. There are two ways to change the value of the text item.
1. The user can directly enter the value.
2. They can select the value from LOV associated with that text item. Sometimes they will not select the value from LOV simply cancel it also.
Which trigger shall i use.
I cannot use Validation & navigational triggers. since the cursor may or may not going to that particular text item and also the navigational(Both Mouse & keyboard) property is no.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
I cannot use Validation & navigational triggers. since the cursor may or may not going to that particular text item and also the navigational(Both Mouse & keyboard) property is no.
So, how the end user can change the value if the focus is not in this particular item ?

A script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign?

Is there a possibility a script that can be used to track text content changes in indesign. My Indesign software's version is CS3. As you can see below, I have deleted some texts and added some. I did it in another software.
I have been searched for a long time. Because of my poor English, I still can't come up with any Object Model related to the script yet.
Here is some idea of mine:
Use the script tracking my revising texts. When I add some new texts, the texts will be underlined. When I delete some texts, the position of the first character of the removed text will be added a small red triangle or something.
Thanks in advance.

Hidden dragon, what does that mean?
I can't comprehend fully what you said.
Is IDML short for Indeisgn Markup Language?
I think you are telling me that I can open the Indeisgn document by using the software InCopy. Then I have change some contents. InCopy will help me tracking the revision.

Track Text Edits Change Bars

FrameMaker 8.0 -- Change bars are showing up for adds but not for deletes. How do I get the bars to show up for both?

Martha, I haven't seen this particular problem in either 8 or 9...
My first thought was that some of the changes were included in other Conditional Text settings so that some of the changes weren't fully applied because some text was hidden by another condition... So you may want to check to see if there's any overlap. But that's just a guess.
And one thing you can try is saving one of the files out to MIF to clean up any stray characters that may have crept in.

Can you change the format of text in Track Text Edits?

My client wants changed text to be blue double-underlined. I can apply a character tag to changed text to create the double underline, but it will not change the color to blue from the default forest green.
Is there a way to customize the format of the Track Text Edits text? Please help as soon as you can because I'm starting this project today using conditional text for the deletions and character formatting for the changes and insertions in this ~300 page book.
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
The track edit changes are just special formats of Condition Catalog items that are unfortunately hardwired. You can save them as MIF, edit the color, e.g.
<Condition
<CTag `FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_ADDED'>
<CState CShown>
<CStyle CUnderline>
<CSeparation 10>
<CColor `Forest Green'> <-- change to Blue ro whatever is defined in the Color catalog.
<CAndCondition >
> # end of Condition
<Condition
<CTag `FM8_TRACK_CHANGES_DELETED'>
<CState CShown>
<CStyle CStrike>
<CSeparation 2>
<CColor `Red'>
<CAndCondition >
> # end of Condition
HOWEVER, FM dutifully changes these back when you re-open the MIF fle. No can do manually.
IIRC, I believe that Rick Quatro has written a Framescript that does some magic here. You might want to contact him - see:

Updating a value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change

Hi,
I need to change the value of a text item in a multi record block based on a change to another item's value in the same block.
Suppose there's a text item in a multi record block called dt1 which is of type date, which is changed in a particular record. I want to change the values of the another item in the same multi record block, for all other records by running a loop through all the records in multi record block. I dont want to do it on the press of a button, it should do automatically on change. Help me resolve this issue.

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?

How to change the "name of column" property of an text item in runtime?
I look the properties of items in help and found nothing about this!
It's possible?

Hi,
an other solution is change the block property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_TYPE from "Table" to "Sub-query" , than change at run time the property QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME.
First create block and add items
The QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME will be for ex. "Select 'A' as col1, 'B' AS col2, 'C' as col3 from dual"
Set into items the column name property to col1 , col2 ...
At run time change the query to "Select 'Z' as col1, 'X' as col2 , 'Y' as col3 from dual"
in this way you can change the source of column value.
Caution because if you change value type from varchar2 to date you must cast date into varchar2.
May be that this way is valid only for view data not for insert-update, i don't remember.
bye

How to change data type and col. width of text item

hi,
how will we change the datatype and width of a text item in runtime.
set_item_property(itemname,fixed_length,20);--- it is for width.
please help me.
Regards

Hello,
You cannot change the datatype at runtime.
Start with a CHAR item then do the corresponding cast (NUMBER or DATE)

How to change a text item to have a link that opens a different page?

Hi,
How to change a text item to have a link that opens a different page?
Thanks,
Guy

Hi Denes,
I understood what the code will do. But it did not work.
...a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.">LINK</a...
By default, P5_TASK_NAME displays Task Name which is passed from Page 3.
So I changed your code as follows so that P5_TASK_NAME value may be displayed with a link.
...a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.">:P5_TASK_NAME</a...
But P5_TASK_NAME value appears without any link and does not open page 3.
Then I created a new text item (display only) in the same HTML region in page 5 and entered the following code in the default box:
...a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.">LINK</a...
When I ran the application, it displayed the whole code as text.
How can I display P5_TASK_NAME value with a link to open page 3?
Would appreciate your help.
... to be replaced with < or >
Could you please let me know how to display link code correctly?
Thanks,
Guy

Tabular form for text item -save changes not working

Hello,
I have created a tabular form in which I have made one of the columns say deptno as an Text item using APEX_TEXT.ITEM package.
In my tabular form by default I have created it with all the buttons like with ADD ROW,CANCEL,SUBMIT(SAVE).
My problem is that whenever I make any changes to the text item for deptno column, and then try to save the changes by clicking SUBMIT - the changes are not taking place to the deptno text item column.
Can anyone help me out with this.
thanks.

hi Denes Kubicek.
the thing is that i have made it as text item because I have concatenated it with an popup image when clicked on it opens up an new popup window
which is a report containing dept table details. So if need to make a change to the deptno text item column in the parent window for a particular record
then i do through the popup window (like by selecting the deptno from the popup window - so that this value is returned to my parent window deptno text item column)
for this reason i have made the column deptno as an text item.
can you help me out with this issue.
thanks.

Change log of text items

Is there any way of finding out the change log for text items during text determination. e.g. The sales order is created by a set of users who specify the colour of the item in the sales item text - textid-ZCME. They change the colour after sometime in the text-id and there is no means of finding out who changed and when.

In a non-db block, create an item m_rec_cnt as
Datatype : number
Calculation mode :Summary
Summary function : count
summary blk : your block which you expect to have more than 1 record
summay item :any not null item--------------------------------------------------------
create a procedure in the pgm units to set the visual attributes of that particular rec. in the main canvas
procedure l_set_record_Appear(p_va varchar2) is
Begin
set_item_instance_property('emp_code', to_number(:system.trigger_record), visual_attribute, p_Va);
set_item_instance_property('emp_name', to_number(:system.trigger_record), visual_attribute, p_Va);
set_item_instance_property('emp_sal', to_number(:system.trigger_record), visual_attribute, p_Va);
End;Then create the req. visual attribute 'VA_BLUE'
Then call the procedure in
PRE-RECORD as
If nvl(m_rec_cnt,0) > 1 then
l_set_record_Appear('VA_BLUE');
else
l_set_record_Appear(''); /* null attribute ...no space*/
end if;

How to properly change the content of text item object

Working in CS3 here.
I have a collection of text item objects from a grep search.
I want to iterate through the items and possibly change the values depending on a conditional statement.
So say I have a collection myTextObject that contains text item objects from a GREP search
<code>
for (var i = 0; i<myTextObject.length; i++) {
if (myTextObject[i].content == "myCondition") {
myTextObject[i].content = "My New Value";
</code>
Once I do that, all the other content values in my collection are one byte off. So I am guessing that when the collection is created, Indesign sets a byte limit on the collection and when content is replaced, it sets everything off.
I understand that the collection is built from the beginning of the document so possibly iterating backward would solve the problem?
Any other suggestions here?

yep. iterating backwards shoud help.

Help! Errors when changing category in text items!

I'm very often experiencing problems when editing a text item and moving it from one category to another. It won't do it. The editing page will stay the way it is and the only message I get is: Error 30694: Error in API - update item failed
What could this be? This is very annoying. The portal can be seen at http://www.crmexpert.nl

I haven't seen this problem. Please provide more details: what version of Portal, what types of items are affected, and anything else you think may be relevant.
Thanks,
