Change the caption property to TextField

Hi
I have a TextField
I need to change the value of it Caption Property in Run Time
Who is that?
Thanks all

You can do this using some simple JavaScript or FormCalc script on an event.
Let's say you wanted to change the caption of a field at the click of a button. You could use the following JavaScript on the button's Click event:
TextField1.caption.value.resolveNode("#text").value = "test";
You could also use the following FormCalc script:
TextField1.caption.value.#text = "test"
I've attached a sample form which has a button and a text field on it. Clicking on the button will change the text field's caption to "test".

Change the caption of a TextField with JavaScript

Hi,
I'm working on an multi language form with the Livecycle Designer 8.2.
My form includes a couple of Text fields with captions in English. I've implemented a button to change the language of the captions into French through a "click" JavaScript Event.
But I'm still not able to perform the caption language change with my code:
Myform.multilang.bt_english::click - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.resolveNode("tf_site.caption.value.#text").value = "French Caption";
Has there anybody an hint for me?

Is you form a dynamic or static PDF? Ensure that it is dynamic.

Ghost text is changing the caption to gray italics

I'm using this script:
form1.page17.table1.Table7.Row3.DateField6[0]::enter - (JavaScript, client)
this.fontColor = "0,0,0";
this.font.posture = "normal";
form1.page17.table1.Table7.Row3.DateField6[0]::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.isNull)
this.fontColor = "153,153,153"; // a gray colour
this.font.posture = "italic";
form1.page17.table1.Table7.Row3.DateField6[0]::prePrint - (JavaScript, client)
this.format.picture.value = "";
form1.page17.table1.Table7.Row3.DateField6[0]::postPrint - (JavaScript, client)
this.format.picture.value = "";
form1.page17.table1.Table7.Row3.DateField6[0]::ready:form - (JavaScript, client)
this.execEvent("exit");
this.format.picture.value = "null{'" + this.assist.toolTip.value + "'}";
That I gratefully found at this blog: Adding Ghost Text to LiveCycle Designer forms on the adobe.cookbooks.com web site.
I can get the ghost text to work just fine, however when I just used it in a TextField, it changes the caption to the gray italic text. What is causing this and how do I correct?
Thanks,
MDawn

Hi Margaret,
Sorry about that, mouslander is right the line "this.caption.font.posture.value = "normal";" should have been "this.caption.font.posture = "normal";" without the .value bit
If you want to do this in Designer, you can with the Font palette.
Click the little arrow and update the Value to italic and the 40% gray (153,153,153) and set the caption to black, normal.

How do I change the name property of a file in a document library?

I am trying to come up with an Event Receiver that will change the name property of an file when it is uploaded. For instance when a file is uploaded into a document Library, currently the Title is being generated (which is fine)...I want to be able to
change the "Name" property from whatever it is, to match exactly what is in the "Title" property. Are there any sample codes/blogs out there that I can take a look at? Has anyone had any experience doing this? It seems like something
that should be straight forward, to change the "Name" property to match what is in the "Tilte" property.

Hi,
You can try the code below which use the SPFile.MoveTo() function to change the name of the file.
EventFiringEnabled = false;
SPFile f = properties.ListItem.File;
string spfileExt = new FileInfo(f.Name).Extension;
f.MoveTo(properties.ListItem.ParentList.RootFolder.Url +
"/" + properties.ListItem["Title"]+ "_new" + spfileExt);
f.Update();
EventFiringEnabled = true;

How to change the caption of a field with a button?

I can't do it with a button as in any other way...dropdown list, ecc...
Assumes that we have a button and "on click" i want to change the caption of a numeric or text field.
form1.ppp.Button1::click - (FormCalc, client)
NumericField1.caption.value.text.value = "whatever you want to set it to";
TextField1.caption.value.text.value = "whatever you want to set it to";
xfa.form.form1.ppp.NumericField1.rawValue = xfa.form.form1.ppp.NumericField1.rawValue + 1;
The numerical value inside the numericalfield1 is increased each click...but the caption still the same.

Can I change the captions font?

Is it possible to change the captions font in PSE5? Also, is it possible to change the location of where the caption prints on photos? If so, how is this done?

> In the User Guide it is in Chapter 8, Managing files and catalogs. The section heading is "Adding captions and notes."
Yes those are Creations - I believe that one is a slide show and the other is a calendar.
When doing the PRINT (click on printer icon), then choosing Individual as the type of print and checking Caption in the options, I believe that the only choice is to have the caption printed below and to the left of the photo.
Are you using the entire page of paper after you print or are you cutting out prints - like multiple 4x6 prints from one piece of paper?
If you are using the entire page of paper, then try this - start with CREATE and then choose PHOTO LAYOUT and pick a simple layout with no background. After the layout contents display you will have the ability to place the text wherever you wish ON the photo as well as change the color and the font.
You will be working in the Editor workspace for the Photo Layout and if you have never used the Elements Text Tool it may seem a little strange at first.
Now with this photo layout you can do more complex backgrounds and embellishments. However if you do not choose any background when you start the photo layout, it will look similar to doing a Print.
So I suggest that you look at the Photo Layout function and see if it looks like it will be beneficial for you.

To Change the Readonly Property

Hi,
In Portal Personal data Screen for belgium , Country of Birth field (Drop Down Box) is Read Only.
We have to change the readonly property.
I tried through iView personalisation ,the property of that field is Not readonly.
2) In the WD java Application the field property is NORMAL .
3) I have checked in V_T588MPROPC, there also we dont have any entry for this field.
In Backend ECC this field is editable ,
Can any one please let me know where should i will change to make this field as Editable.
Regards
Alexi

Please check the following tables:
V_T005
V_T588MFPROPC
V_T588MFPROPS
T77WWW_SC
V_T582ITVCHCK
Note 1498555 - How to make a field mandatory or optional in ESS
"V_T588MFPROPC only makes the field mandatory, optional or unused
by the back-end business logic checks it will not change a
UI display property like Read-Only
You could try the Personalization options - Ctrl and Right
mouse button over the UI element (either in the browser
or in a PCD preview - for global changes for all users)
- please check there for options to change the country
field to editable
However I suspect the field is read-only because
1) You are on a lower release than EHP3 -foreign address
maintainence via Country field is only available
as standard from EHP3
2) You do no have EHP3 business function HCM_ESS_CI_1 switched on
these business functions activate foreign address functionality
3) You are editing a record - try instead creating a new record
4) Inconsistency in V_T7XSSPERFORADD - check this against client 000
Hope this helps identify the problem

Of course! Here ya go
For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

Can not change the field property - 10gR2 reports crashing on Linux :(

All I want to do, is to change one field's property from NUMBER to DATE in the property palette. It does not allow me to do it (not east like forms). I can not change the field property - 10gR2 reports keep crashing on Linux :(
I don't know if this is a Linux specific iDS issue, or a generic one.
What are the proper steps to change one field (in my query, the field name is ptime, it was defined as a number field originally, and now I need to change it to DATE and apply the proper format mask). The matching database field definition was modified from number to date.
very frustrating...
Any input is appreciated.

nop, did not change anything in the select statement at all. Just selected the related query under the data model (in the navigator), then selected the related query from within the property panel, connected to the db, then from the related navigor menu selected compile all, when the related query was highlighted (selected). Then I saved it, checked the groups, and bingo - the datatype was changed from number to date. Then I went to the related object under the page layout and applied the format mask (that was another funny story). And it worked. It is not as flexible as the forms for sure - pain in the a.. And I still don't know why Reports Builder keeps crashing on Linux - have no problems with Forms Developer on Linux at all. It is a certified RH platform with all the required libs, rpms, etc installed. I am certain it is not an installation issue. Maybe I should check Metalink and apply if an iDS 10gR2 patch exists for reports.

CS6 it is being hanged attempting to change the font property

Hi,
I am working on Flash CS 6 is working fine but one issue i am facing all the time while working on any file whenever i am attempting to change the font property (like from arial or verdana etc.) it is being hanged for few moments like 1 to 2 minutes.
Can help in solving this issue.

You're at the point where you've done every other rational thing to solve the issue. If you have no issue using font drop-downs in any other Adobe or any other app and have reset Flash to defaults, have no font manager or any corrupt settings, I'm out of suggestiong.
Since Flash is basically back to default install status, that's the last recommendation I could make. If you reinstall Flash and you still have the issue, this is something Adobe support may need to jump in on. There has to be a difference between your environment and everyone elses, only you know what that is. If a fresh install of Flash doesn't work, there's an environment issue.
Are you using an encrypted filesystem or have you manually copied any web fonts into your Windows font directory (where typically they're colored green) and have not clicked 'Unblock' on the file? Windows can sometimes mark downloaded files as dangerous until you view the file properties and click to 'Unblock' it. It's down to this level of "some small thing" that's causing this odd hiccup for Flash.

Error trying to change the value property of a cell with decimals

This is a script question.
I’m using a system defaulting to Spanish, so the decimal delimiter is the comma.
During a script I need to change the property value of a cell multiplying it by -1. As an example, I want to change 1,25 into -1,25.
This is how try to do it:
tell application "Numbers" to tell document 1 to tell sheet 1 to tell table 1
set selection range to first cell
set mi_cell to (value of first cell of selection range) * -1
set value of first cell of selection range to mi_cell
end tell
The expected result is wrong provided that the original value of the cell has decimal value. Otherwise is correct.
See examples of what happen after running this piece of the script:
1,25 becomes -125,00 instead of -1,25
6,00 becomes -6,00 (in this case is correct)
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Ratz

This was described here in several scripts.
Before setting the value of a cell to a number or a date, the value must be coerced to a string.
It's the only way available to take care of localization features.
Your script must be
tell application "Numbers" to tell document 1 to tell sheet 1 to tell table 1
set selection range to first cell
set mi_cell to (value of first cell of selection range) * -1
set value of first cell of selection range to mi_cell as text
end tell
or better
tell application "Numbers" to tell document 1 to tell sheet 1 to tell table 1
set mi_cell to (value of first cell) * -1
set value of first cell to mi_cell as text
end tell
CAUTION : don't code
tell application "Numbers" to tell document 1 to tell sheet 1 to tell table 1
set mi_cell to -(value of first cell)
set value of first cell to mi_cell as text
end tell
which is supposed to do the same but would return the opposite of *_the integer value_* of the cell.

Batch change the same property of some steps in Teststand3.1

In Teststand, Test steps like "numeric test","pass/fail test". There's a "run option" in their property dialog, which enable or disable to record results. Sometimes, I need to diable/enable its function together with several steps. I prefer to see a batch method, that is to say, select multiple stpes, then open property dialog and diable them. Unfortunately, current Teststand could not do this only once, but have to slect one and disable one. Is there any better ideas?
Thanks
Jacky

Hi,
All you need is a sequence, set up in you Tools menu, to pick up the selected steps and change the each of the selected step's proeperty for the reports (Step.TS.NoResults).
You would look at the RunState.InitialSelection.SelectedSteps which is an array, the size of which will give you the number of selected step. Then loop through the array changing the Step.TS.NoResults.
There are examples on the NI Website that loop through a sequence, eg http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3EE5556A4E034080020E74861&p_...
(which gets the step name)
There are application notes for setting up the Tools menu.
Hope this gets you going.
