Button label cutoff

Hi,
I have a button whose text is being cutoff. How can I tell javafx that the button should be as big as the text in it and so no cutting off text happens?
Thanks in advance,

Not exactly sure what cut off means. Probably what you want is:
button.setMinSize(Button.USE_PREF_SIZE, Button.USE_PREF_SIZE);
And perhaps also:
button.setMaxSize(Button.USE_PREF_SIZE, Button.USE_PREF_SIZE);
If you want the button to enclose the full label text without additional padding beyond what is necessary to contain the text.

Trying to assign an XML attribute value to a button label

I have a Flex app (developed in FLEX 2) that reads from
multiple XML files and populates datagrids with element values.
What I'm trying to do now, is to create a second column with a
button, enabling users to view archived versions for each current
report.
My problem is: I can't get the <mx:Button> label to
accept the attribute "name". I've tried atleast 10 - 20 different
syntax.
My XML file looks like this:
<metrics>
<report name="test">
<link>test Report 10/28/2008</link>
<url>test-10_28_2008.zip</url>
<status>active</status>
</report>
</metrics>
The mxml looks like this:
<mx:Button buttonMode="true" useHandCursor="true"
click="handleClick()" label="{data.@name}" width="80">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function handleClick():void{
var url:URLRequest = new
URLRequest([L=http://new.test.com/pages/r_archive_apps/"+data.link+".html");[/L]]http://n ew.test.com/pages/r_archive_apps/"+data.link+".html");[/L][/L]
navigateToURL(url,"_blank");
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Button>
When I try to label a button with an element it works fine.
Some of the other sytax I've used are:
- label="{data.report.@name}"
- label="{data.report.(@name=='test')}"
- label="{data.report.(@name='test')}"
- label="{data.@name}"
- label="{data.metrics.report.@name}"
- label="{data.metrics.report.(@name=='test')}"
- label="{data.metrics.report.(@name='test')}"

How to add image as radio button label instead of text

In a pure AS3 project, is there a way to add use an image placed in the library/ Flex/AIR SDK compiler path instead of text as a radio button label?
I've tried substituting character may unicode like:
rb1.label = String.fromCharCode("0x2592");
But how this displays is dependent on the device, font character availability. Displays unpredictably.
Would prefer anyway to use an image that I can create in AI.
Any help appreciated.

OK. I tried this, and it works.
(Hopefully, the image will display in the same location, next to the radio button, on different devices.)
Thank you.

Special characters not displaying in button label

My production environment is: Oracle Forms 6i connecting to an Oracle 8i database. Forms are Windows client/server. In a form there is a layout of buttons like a QWERTY keyboard. And in the property palette information for each data block, the item is of type "Push Button" and the default Label is set to a specific number which correlates to what that number translates into a special character (i.e. Portuguese, or Spanish characters). So example: CHR196 label = "196". So when at runtime. The following command is executing upon seeing this canvas:
Set_Item_Property('CHR196', LABEL, CHR(196));
So in Forms6i the CHR(196) comes out to be a letter in the alphabet from either Spanish or Portuguese and shows up perfectly.
But NOT in 11g. That environment I'm in is:
Oracle Fusion Middleware Forms 11g on RHEL5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5) on a 32-bit platform
connecting to
Oracle Database 11g on RHEL5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5) on a 64-bit platform
using a
Windows based browser (IE7 - Internet Explorer 7).
Could it be due to the forms being in a JVM (Java Virtual Machine)? All I see is a small "square" and this shows up on ALL the button labels. Could it be the NLS_LANGUAGE format of the database? Because when I run the query : SELECT CHR(196) FROM dual on 8i or 11g, the proper character shows up in TOAD or SQL+.
Thanks,

Hello Paul,
I once used hexadecimal coded characters like &xnnn; and they were not transformed. When coding them in decimal, everthing worked fine.

Button label positioning

Hi,
I am new to Flex 2 world but even my question seems a bit
funny to me. I'm trying to create a square button (width=200 by
height=200) and I want the label inside the button to be in one of
the top corners. At this point I don't care if it's in the left or
right top corner.
I've tried everything and I was only able to get the label to
be left aligned using the TextAlign property but I can't seem to
figure out how to Vertically align it to the top.
any help you be greatly appreciated.
Incase someone needs to see the mxml code to understand what
I'm doing, here it is: (LOL)
<mx:Button label="topleft" width="200" height="200"
textAlign="left"/>
Also, I've tried to put a <mx:Label> right after this
button and using the x/y co-ordinates, place it on TOP of the
button and that works but then when I mouseover the label it looses
the mouseover the button (which is obvious).
HELP! :)

The paddingTop worked. I just had to set it top a negative
value :) I feel like I had to "cheat" to get this working :)
Thanks a lot!

LSO content player Button Label

Hi,
In LSO content player, I would like to customize the button label " End Test".
I have gone through the jsp and html pages and did not find any reference to it.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Did you check in the following XML file?
jspstrings_en.xml file : You can find it in the J2EE 630 under the following path: \server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.hcm.ls.webapps\servlet_jsp\lms\WEB-INF\xml

The button labels in my folders are reading as numbers

The button labels in my folders are reading as numbers

First, please stop posting your email address. That will only get you on spam lists.
I suggest you erase your boot volume and restore from the backup. Check that the issue is resolved, then (and only then) change every password you have and check all your online financial accounts for unauthorized activity. Consider canceling all credit cards and requesting new ones.
When that's done, you need to learn the basics of safe computing.
Mac OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known Mac malware takes the form of trojans that can only operate if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install software, such as a “codec” or “plug-in,” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
“Cracked” versions of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use ClamXav -- nothing else.

How to localize button labels of a genuine NI VI?

Some days ago I asked how to manage the translation of button labels of the
genuine "file dialog VI" from NI (i.e. German label "Wahlen"-> English label
"Select", German label "Abbruch"->English label "Cancel" etc.) for the
finished application (I need to have a german and an English version).
Someone suggested to select English from the Windows country selection and
someone else suggested to use the string export/import function.
However, nothing succeeded so far.
I even bought WIN 2000 in English, since I thought LV perhaps refers to some
standard/library Windows labelling names during compilation.
Regarding the string export/import function: This should work if one is able
to get into the VI, but with the genuine "
file dialog VI" from NI I cannot
enter the VI.
Do I really have to program my own VI for such a simple localizing thing?
So far, heavily disappointed....
Thanks
Klaus

Klaus,
Sorry to hear about your problems. Have you tried contacting NI about this? They are usually very good about supporting issues such as this.
I am going to try a few things for you to see if I can help. If I don't post a followup, assume I had no luck. If you go to ni.com/ask you can start a formal support question. The NI tech support guys will help you fairly quickly (usually within a day or less!)
Good luck.

Changing button label;JSP; input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search"

Hello everybody,
I try to develop a multilanguage application in which the button labels will change accordingly with the browser's regional settings.
The line in the generated DataQueryComponent.jsp file is the following:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Search">
If I want to change the value like value="Rechercher" the application will not execute the query.
In fact the section
<jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate datasource="dsQuery" >
</jbo:ViewCriteriaIterate>
is not executed.
I tried to generate the button with:
<input type="submit" name="jboEvent" value="Rechercher" onClick="this.value='Search'"> ,
but for a long query the name Search will remain as button label on the screen.
Any new solutions, please?
Thanks in advance.

Fade button label

Hi, plase help me!
I've applied a fade effect to a component that contains a
button and some other children. All the component fades correctly
and the button fades too, but not its label. I think that it's an
embedded fonts problem. So I've embedded a font:
@font-face {
src:local("Arial");
font-family: ArialEmbedded;
advanced-anti-aliasing: true;
Button
embedFonts: true;
font-family: ArialEmbedded;
font-size: 13;
After this operation the font-size of the button label
matches, but not the font-family! The system default font-family
persists!
How can I embed fonts in button components? If I cannot fix
this issue, I think that I cannot fade the button together with its
label!
Thanks

Fixed, I had to embed the bold version of the font, because
button labels are bold!
So, the finally code is:
@font-face {
src:local("Arial");
font-family: ArialEmbedded;
advanced-anti-aliasing: true;
font-weight:bold;
@font-face {
src:local("Arial");
font-family: ArialEmbedded;
advanced-anti-aliasing: true;
font-weight:normal;
Button
embedFonts: true;
font-family: ArialEmbedded;
font-size: 13;
All buttons will use the bold ArialEmbedded to render their
label!

Change dynamic button label

Hi,
In apex 3.0 can I have a button which changes dynamic? e.g. if an item is null then the button label to be 'tes' else button label 'ok'?
Thank you

Hi,
Maybe easiest way is create 2 buttons and set condition for those.
Use condition when item in expression 1 value is / value is not in expression 2

How do I make Radio Button label clickable?

In just plain HTML, the following code will allow me to click on the radio button label text to select that radio button:
<label for="radio1">Radio Button label</label>
<input type="radio" value="Selected" id="radio1" />
How can I do the same thing using HTMLB?
   <htmlb:radioButton id      = "buttonAll"
                      text    = "All"
                      key     = "ALL"
                      tooltip = "View All" />
Wrapping the htmlb:radioButton with a <label></label> does not work - any ideas?

Hi Lisa,
You have to also add the <b>disable</b> attribute to the following code. This is because, <i>if the radioButton is disabled it is not selectable.</i>
Replace the code with:
<htmlb:radioButton id = "buttonAll"
text = "All"
key = "ALL"
tooltip = "View All"
disabled="false"
/>
I would also suggest you to wrap the htmlb:radioButton code in <htmlb:radioButtonGroup></htmlb:radioButtonGroup>
Hope this Solves your problem.
Regards
Pravesh

Unexpected Button Labels

I have an app I built in LCVI 2009. This app runs just fine on many different PCs (WinXP, Win 7, x32, x64).
However, on a couple of PCs, the app exhibits a very strange problem. The button labels on a ConfirmPopup panel are not labled "Yes" and "No", as expected. Rather, they are labeled "Load" and "Make Directory", respectively. See the attached screen shot file.
My guess is that this has to do with incompatible libraries, maybe from earlier versions of LCVI. We have been using LCVI since version 5, so some PCs may have lingering libraries from way back when.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Thanks

I seem to remember that I recently saw a simila question but didn't succeed in finding it. I just found out this old thread which may be of some help. Anyway, button text should be taken from a message file installed together with the CVI Runtime Engine, so removing and reinstalling it should solve the problem.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Descriptive button labels

This is a small but important suggestion for the Software Update interface.
Upon completing the installation of an update, I'm asked if I want to restart now, or do so manually later. The options are "yes" and "no." Apple has done a pretty good job of using descriptive button labels instead of requiring reading "the fine print" but there is still room for improvement.
Perhaps "Restart now" and "Restart later" as button labels?
