Characters entered in Text Edit appering as Captical letters.

Hi all,
I have placed TEXTEDIT control and with type CHAR255 on the form to capture the comments and pass to a FM but it passing characters as CAPTICAL LETTERS.
Any body have idea where what I have missed the step or any help to fix the issue.
Thanks
Chris

It is probably the field converstion coming based upon the data type. Most data elements convert to upper case. You specifically have to set in the DDic domain the lowercase flag if you don't want the converstion to occur.
Instead of char255 (which I checked in my system and the domain does not have the lowercase set), you can use a custom data element/domain with the lowercase flag set or just use the native ABAP data type STRING.

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

How to increase the number of characters in Text Edit??

Hi,
How to increase the number of characters we enter in the Text Edit, for example i can't enter not more than 255 characters. If to enter upto 500 char, what to do.
Thanks and regards,
Karthik

We can't restrict the number of characters a UI element can take. Rows and columns properties are to specify the visible no of rows and columns.
If u want a restriction in the number of characters you have to create a simple type and set it to a context attribute and then map it to the text view.

My special characters palette comes up in text edit but it is empty

My special characters palette comes up in Text Edit but it is empty; how can I make it functional ? The only characters I can access are "by Radical" -- not useful to me.

Allot of people have the question, but what is the answer? How do you get rid of the contacts in imessage after you have deleted them from your regular contact list?

HT2509 Font Book not working correctly? or Text Edit not working correctly?

I downloaded a font onto Font Book and it works perfectly on Font Book and all the characters and symbols come up correctly, as they should. Then when I use it on Text Edit, it replaces the ', " and @ with a $ sign. What can I do to fix this, or is it unfixable? I'm using a Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I'm not sure what could be causing this situation.

It does that because that's the way the lazy person who created this font built it. Here's the layout of the font you're having trouble with:
Now compare it to the OS X supplied font Andale Mono:
Note on the third line, second from the right that Andale Mono has an @ symbol in the "at" position. The person who created the font you downloaded types a $ sign because that's what they put there, along with dozens of other glyph positions (must have really loved how they drew that $ sign). Which when you look where the quote and apostrophe are, they are also filled with the $ glyph.
The font is a piece of junk. Delete it.

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites.

How to print the content of a text edit ?

Hi to all,
I have a view with a text edit and I want to print its content. I created a button and I want to print text edit content pressing this button. How can I do? Which java code I have to insert in that button?
thanks a lot,
Antonio

Antonio,
Sadly, there is no way to do it directly. Even in plain HTML application it is impossible to print text of UI control (<textarea> in this case).
So you have to open new browser window containing entered text and let user print text himself. Or invoke window.print() on document load event.

I have a requirement where i need to preserve the text in the "case" user has entered.As of now it automatically gets converted into upper case.
eg:user enters "Hello World"
it is getting saved as "HELLO WORLD".I don want this case conversion to happen.
Kindly respond.

How to insert a text edit UI element in a table

hi all,
I want a text edit UI element in a table .I do not want input field because text entered can be very long and whole text cant be seen then.Is there any way to increase the width of input field if i insert an input field ? or what can be other solution for this?

Hi Govind,
You can't insert Text Edit as a cell variant in table. But you can increase the 'Width' property of Input Field, say to 500px or as per your requirement, so that you can display the full text at one go. Or you can bind the 'Width' property to a context and set the width at run time as per the text length.
Thanks,
Sumit

Create a new page in Text Edit?

I know Text Edit has limited functionality but I havent been able to find any tutorials or basic information on Text Edit and eventually I may get Pages or Word for Mac, but for right now, I dont really need anything fancy so I'm hoping Text Edit will work. Im thinking there's no reason you couldn't do a resume even on here - although I think Pages has pre-done layouts which would make it look a lot prettier.
Anyway, simple Text Edit question: Is there just a way to create a new page - basically a page break like you did in Microsoft Word on a PC where you would hit control+enter. Im assuming there should be as that seems like a pretty basic function.
Also if anyone uses Text Edit regularly, can you tell me what are the basic things it can and cannot do...what do you need Pages (Or word for mac) for and for what will Text Edit suffice. (I assume, for example, that Text Edit is not going to allow you to automatically do page numbers while Pages will)

Looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't cut it

I'm looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't work. In text edit, it automatically scoots my text over to the next line but I just want it to keep going with a horizontal scrollbar. Is there a text editor I can download from the app store or can I get textedit to work somehow where it uses a horizontal scroll bar instead of entering text to the next line?

Hi,
thought TextWrangler can do it.
But it seems that the 'no word-wrap' "feature" isn't that much wanted anymore.
Maybe one of these http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/text%20editor can do it.

SAVE button doesn't appear in Toolbar of Text Edit Control

I need to save the changes made to the text in my Text Edit Control, i know how to handle the Save command but my problem is the SAVE button doesn't appear in the Toolbar of the Text Editor.

Looking forward for your helpful answers.

Combine text layers but keep text editable? OR A way to export text as a paragraph in InDesign into Photoshop

Hoping to achieve one of these goals, either option is equally fine:
Option 1) find a way to merge text layers but keep the text editable in Photoshop.
Option 2) find a way in InDesign to group and collapse text so that it lands on one layer or one text paragraph that could be selected together. So that when I export to EPS and then PSD the text is not sliced up on various layers but is combined into one editable text layer.
Why? I'm saving out from InDesign and for whatever reason the text is fragmented across many objects/layers/ whatever you want to call it. When using the export feature from InDesign these bits of text are then saved out as separate layers when you export to EPS. Using Illustrator with the EPS files is no help either.
The best way I can describe it is like in these InDesign document there are web page slices being used and various bits of the text are landing on various slices which in turn befuddles the export function that is valiantly trying to maintain these 'slices' of text by fragmenting letters, words, or characters across many 'slices' into many layers.
Here's what the document looks like when I go from InDesign> export> EPS> then open in Illustrator and export to PSD.
What I want is all of those individual text layers to be one text layer, still editable, in Photoshop.

How to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat

I need to know how to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat. I have a request from a customer to do so and after googling I have came up with nothing. Also the customer would like it if they could convert said pdf form to a microsoft word document with the text form.

There's no limit on the number of characters you can enter into a text
field, unless you set it as such.

Minimim characters in a text box

It seems silly that it is so easy to set the maximum number of characters in a text box (ie. Properties>Options>Limit of X characters) but that there is no easy equaivalent for minimum characters? At least not in Acrobat 9 anyway, don't know about the never versions!
Does anyone know if the minimum number of characters can be set with Javascript?

That was intended to be a rhetorical question. So what you really want is if the field is not blank, that there should at least be some minimum number of characters. What is the minimum number that you want to enforce? Youd probably want to use a custom validation script for this, but what exactly do you want to happen if the user only enters three characters but the minimum you want is four? Should the three characters that were entered be rejected altogether, or should the focus just be set back to the field so the user can enter more, or something else?
Here's what a script that rejects the entry might look like:
// Custom validate script for text field
(function () {
    // Allow nothing
    if (!event.value) return;
    // Set the minimum number of characters
    var min_chars = 4;
    // Reject the entry and alert user if fewer than the minimum
    if (event.value.length < min_chars) {
        event.rc = false;
        app.alert("Please enter at least " + min_chars + "characters.\r\rYou entered " + event.value.length + " characters.", 1);
