CHECKBOX is showing as Text box

Hello Friends,
We upgraded system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0
In 4.7, SAP is displaying checkbox as Select Box (Tick)  , But in ECC is displaying as text box.
Declaration in both the systems is
PARAMETERS:   TEST  TYPE CHECKBOX.
Please let me know that do i need to set any options to display as Checkbox in ECC.
or do i need to chage code as
PARAMETERS: TEST  AS CHECKBOX.
Thanks & Regards
Dinesh

Hi.  I don't have a 4.7 system in front of me at the moment, but in NW 7.0(ECC), you must use the AS CHECKBOX, and not the TYPE CHECKBOX.
When you say..
PARAMETERS: p_test1 type checkbox.
You are merely assigning a type here.  And since there is a data element called CHECKBOX, the syntax checker will allow this.  The CHECKBOX data element is nothing more thann a character field with a length of one.
Now if you specify this.
PARAMETERS: p_test2 AS checkbox.
You are telling the compiler something else, you are saying that you want a "checkbox" rendered in the screen. and similarly this field will be a character field with length of 1.
Cheers,
Rich

  • Access report export to excel shows =sum() text boxes prefixed with the textbox name

    When exporting reports from access to excel the =sum() (group and total sums) text boxes all have the text box name prefixed to them in excel. They look good in access reports. Any way to turn this off? Why is this happening?
    I've seen the same issue on 2 computers running Access 2010. I also tried this in access 2013 and had the same issue.
    See the images below as examples, the first is from access, the second is the report exported to excel.

    Hi Scott,
    Did you use the same database file? May I know how did you create the report and those TextBoxes?
    I couldn't reproduce your problem, this is what I did:
    Create a sample table and the corresponding report. Group it by one of the field, then give it a footer section. In the footer section I inserted a TextBox and set the ControlSource property to "=Sum([fieldname])". But the name of the TextBox didn't
    show in the exported Excel file. Check the screenshots here:

    Thanks for you reply.
    But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box. 
    Ok let me elaborate this problem little more. 
    I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

  • Hiding text box based on check box checking

    Hello,
    I have a jsp in which based on whether the check box is checked or unchecked I want to hide or show a text box. I am including the text box in a div tag & calling a javascript function to set the style of the div to hidden or shown based on whether the check box is checked or not. although i am getting the correct values in the alerts the text box is not getting hidden.
       <td class="label"><label for="chk1"><gbms:message key="lblSearchforDeletedCustomer"/>:</label></td><td class="input">

  • How can I make a text box in Aperture transparent??

    Hello,
    After a great trip to Thailand I want to make a book of all my pictures using Aperture 3. At some places in the book I use a title to indicate what will be shown on the image. This title is made by the text box and it is put on the image itself. Now what I would like is to make is a transparent bar of the text box, so that I still can see the details of the image through this bar and also read the text about the image easily.
    I have no problems making this text box and putting it in the right place, the thing that I don't understand, after two nights of trying, is how to make this text box transparent.
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps I need to reformulate what I exactly want to do...!
    I would like to use transparent text boxes but not as transparent as the image itself. I want to show the text box as a real bar but slightly different than the original image colour. So something between a normal image and a white bar so that it will be a bit transparent but also shown as a real bar..
    I think the text boxes of each theme are identical, so yes you are right about the transparent text boxes of art collection but they are the same as photo essay.
    Do you understand what I mean?

  • Creating 3 links each with pop-up text box on the same slide

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a slide that has 3 links and each link has a pop-up text box. I do not want to separate the pop-up text into separate slides. I have it so that there are 3 click boxes and each have the action "show" the proper text box. I also created another click box that acts as a close button where the action is to hide the pop-up box. I have an extra click box hidden on the page to make sure the user stays on the page and not automatically advance.
    Once I have the user click on the first "link" it shows the text box. Once the user clicks the close click box it takes the user to the next slide. I just need it so that it shows the user the pop-up text and then when the user closes the pop-up and returns to showing the 3 options/links. So it basically refreshes the slide instead of going to the next slide.
    Thanks,

    This will be a little tricky to achieve. This is because per default Adobe has decided that any interactive object (like a button or a click box) that has a user defined action on it (like continue, pause, open URL etc.) automatically continues to play the project when clicked.
    Therefore when you click your button it will show your textbox, but it will also continue to play on your timeline.
    You can read some more about it here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479725?tstart=0
    I did something similar to what you want one time and I just created a bunch of click boxes and made them very small and put them in a corner. The click boxes were placed on the timeline with 0.2 seconds between the pauses. Then I created my "real" buttons to show/hide the text boxes and placed them on the timeline before the other click boxes.
    The result is that once a user clicks your button it will show the text caption you want - continue on the timeline and pause at the first click box. When they click another button the same will happen. Just make sure that you have a lot of click boxes (I think I put like 30) and make sure that your navigation button for advancing to the next slide is set to "go to next slide" and not "continue" as that would make it pause at all your click boxes as well.

  • Acrobat 9.2.0 Update Breaks Text Box Tool, Possibly Introduces a New Security Flaw.

    Anyone have any ideas for this one?
    Once we upgraded to version 9.2.0 (This is a major security release that fixes a Javascript security flaw) our text box tool no longer works the way we want it and crashes the program.
    Try this:
    1. Open any PDF document on a  Windows XP SP3 computer with Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0.
    2. Add the 'Text Box Tool'  to the toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting 'MoreTools' then placing a checkbox next to the 'Text Box Tool'.
    3. Click the 'Text Box Tool' on the toolbar and draw a new textbox anywhere on the PDF document.
    4. Click out of the textbox to cancel typing mode, then single click back on the textbox that you just created.
    5. Right-click the textbox that you created and select 'Properties..."
    6. Under the 'Appearance' tab,
    a. Select Style: No Border
    b. Select Fill Color: No Color
    c. Check the box 'Make Properties Default'
    d. Click OK.
    7. Click the Text Box Tool again, and draw another textbox (Since there is no border you will not see it but you will still be drawing a textbox).
    8. Let go of the mouse when you are done drawing your textbox rectangle and the program will crash at this point.
    Results:
    1. "An internal error occurred." dialog box is displayed.
    2. After clicking ok the following "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" dialog box is displayed:
    "Runtime Error!
    Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
    R6025
    - pure virtual function call
    3. After clicking ok another dialog box is displayed:
    Error signature
    AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: acrobat.dll Offset: 000509dd
    4. The same error has occurred on all five computers that we tested the new version on.
    Expected results: A new textbox is created and you may start typing in text (This was the behavior in version 9.1.3).
    Additional Information
    At times, we need to add information to PDF files (i.e missing dates, etc). We have always used the Text Box Tool to do this with no border, and with no fill color as this is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to add information to PDF files in a precise manner. We want the fill color to be transparent so that we can fit text in between and exactly on lines easier, and so that there is not a solid background box behind the text. We want no border because a border around text that needs to go on a line looks stupid. Up until version 9.2 this procedure worked fine. Now, the program will crash. Perhaps this even adds another security vulnerability if the crash could be exploited. We want to maintain security by patching Adobe to address the JavaScript vulnerability that was addressed in version 9.2.0, however, we are not able to update our users as the new version breaks the fundamental purpose that we use Adobe Acrobat for. We are stuck with the vulnerable version 9.1.3 until this problem is addressed. Disabling JavaScript is not an option either, as we use a Java plug-in on a daily basis.
    Any thoughts would be great, I have attached screenshots of the errors.

    The question still is not answered.
    The problem continues in Acrobat 8.1.7 for Windows, even after updating toAcrobat  8.2.0. ( I can't comment on whether recent updates to Acrobat 9 fix the problem in Acrobat 9.)
    The internal error after text insertion problem occurs even with PDF documents created in Acrobat 8, i.e., not only old versions of PDF files. We have the text box insertion icon in the toolbar, and the properties set to "no color" for the box and "0" width for the text box lines, as other commentators have noted.
    The problem did not exist when Acrobat 8 Pro was installed, it was introduced by one of the updaters.
    The main reason we use Acrobat, rather than much cheaper PDF-creation software, is to annotate PDF files (including inputting data into spaces in standard forms).
    So justify the high price of Acrobat and fix the problem please, Adobe !

  • Multiple Text Boxes on 1 Slide...

    There have been a lot of threads about this, but I've been unable to find an answer to the specific situation a colleague is facing.
    We are simulating a mainframe system where the user enters multiple values, then presses enter.  The client wants the simulation to replicate the system as closely as possible, and therefore we would like the user to Tab between the fields.  After the last field is complete, the user should press Enter to move forward.
    I can't get the text boxes to validate upon exit/lose focus...
    In the screen shot below, the text boxes are highlighted for the sake of this thread.  The yellow boxes have shortcuts of "Tab". The last text box (highlighted in purple)  has a shortcut of "Enter".    My hope was that, if a yellow box was not correct, when the user pressed  tab, they'd receive the failure caption, but this has proved wholly  unreliable.  Sometimes it won't appear at all, sometimes the failure caption for a different yellow-shaded text box appears.
    The text boxes don't seem to validate in any discernable order (not by the order they are in the timeline, not by reverse order in the timeline, not by the order they focus when the user presses tab).  I've tried putting an advanced action on the last text box which should check each text box variable against its correct entry and only move forward if each are correct.  This didn't work at all, it would still allow the user to move forward.  I've tried setting it up so that each text box appears after the pause of the previous text box...  I've tried setting the "on complete -> show -> next text box" (maybe I'm missing some key component of this method, 'cause I couldn't get the target to display on this at all)...
    Thanks in advance- I could use any clues you have!

    Hello,
    I thought you wanted one Advanced action in which you will check the entries in all the TEB's (stored in user variables)? Do you think the 'focus lost' event is a good idea to trigger that since you are not sure that it will happen? And if you use the Submit from the 'last' TEB (that can be doubled as a shortcut), this means that you are imposing the sequence, not, you will have to be sure that this one will be the last TEB to be entered? Or do you want an advanced action that will be triggered by all 'focus lost' events and by all the Submit's?
    What do you mean exactly by multiple custom scripts? Perhaps my lack of knowledge of English is puzzling me? You can trigger only one advanced action with an event, but this action can have a multitude of condtional actions, an unlimited sequence of standard actions and even combinations of standard and conditional actions (as I have been describing in the articles I did mention). If you are thinking about something else, please try to explain by giving more details.

  • How do I fill and show/hide a series of text boxes based on checkboxes?

    I have a series of checkboxes on a form (each of which requires some additional information to be entered) and a series of text boxes further down the page to house any necessary detailed information. 
    I have hidden the detail fields and coded the form so that for each of these checkboxes that is checked a row of detail text boxes appears with the checkbox title in the activiy type field, and if a checkbox is subsequently un-checked the last row of detail text boxes is hidden. 
    The problem with this is that if the user unchecks any box other than the most recently checked one the data for the option they just unchecked still shows, but the data for the last option they selected does not. 
    Does anyone have a solution that would make sure the detail fields for the boxes that are checked is displayed in the detail text boxes that are showing when a checkbox is unchecked, regardless of the order in which the boxes are checked/unchecked?
    This is what my form looks like, with the example where Cash Withdrawals is unchecked but appears in the detail and Remote Deposit Capture is checked but was hidden with the last line:
    The detail groups are named Act1.child, Act2.child, etc. where the description field (filled in the example above) is Act1.type, Act2.type, etc.
    Here is the script I'm using on the checkboxes to achieve what I'm getting now:
    var useSet = this.getField("Set").value;
    var clrSet = this.getField("Clr").value;
    var useType = useSet + ".type";
    var clrType = clrSet + ".type";
    if (this.getField("CheckboxName").value != "Off") {
        this.getField(useType).value = "Check Box Desription";
        this.getField(useSet).display = display.visible;
    else if (this.getField("CheckboxName").value == "Off") {
        this.getField(clrType).value = "";
        this.getField(clrSet).display = display.hidden;
    and here is the script for the hidden boxes that determine what sets are filled and what sets are cleared and hidden:
    Custom Calculation Script for "Set":
    var sOne = this.getField("Act1.type").value.length;
    var sTwo = this.getField("Act2.type").value.length;
    var sThr = this.getField("Act3.type").value.length;
    var sFour = this.getField("Act4.type").value.length;
    var sFive = this.getField("Act5.type").value.length;
    var sSix = this.getField("Act6.type").value.length;
    var sSev = this.getField("Act7.type").value.length;
    if (sOne == 0) {event.value = "Act1"}
    else if (sTwo == 0) {event.value = "Act2"}
    else if (sThr == 0) {event.value = "Act3"}
    else if (sFour == 0) {event.value = "Act4"}
    else if (sFive == 0) {event.value = "Act5"}
    else if (sSix == 0) {event.value = "Act6"}
    else {event.value = "Act7"}
    Custom Calculation Value for "Clr":
    var cOne = this.getField("Act1.type").value.length;
    var cTwo = this.getField("Act2.type").value.length;
    var cThr = this.getField("Act3.type").value.length;
    var cFour = this.getField("Act4.type").value.length;
    var cFive = this.getField("Act5.type").value.length;
    var cSix = this.getField("Act6.type").value.length;
    var cSev = this.getField("Act7.type").value.length;
    if (cSev != 0) {event.value = "Act7"}
    else if (cSix != 0) {event.value = "Act6"}
    else if (cFive != 0) {event.value = "Act5"}
    else if (cFour != 0) {event.value = "Act4"}
    else if (cThr != 0) {event.value = "Act3"}
    else if (cTwo != 0) {event.value = "Act2"}

    Hi Andi,
    Please consider the following “solution” too.
    Preliminaries
    An indicator can be considered a variable in JavaScript.
    If P is an indicator, m(P) refers to the value of the indicator.
    Data for Control
    There are four checkboxes: C0, C1, C2 and C3.
    There is an indicator for each checkbox: CP0, CP1, CP2 and CP3.
    If checkbox Ci is checked then checkbox indicator CPi has the value i+1; in other words, m(CPn) = i+1. If checkbox Ci is not checked then checkbox indicator CPi has the value 0; in other words, m(CPn) = 0.
    There are four sets of detail fields: A0, A1, A2 and A3.
    There is a detail fields indicator for each detail fields: AP0, AP1, AP2 and AP3. If detail fields Ak have the details for the checked checkbox Ci then APk has the value i+1; in other words, m(APk) = i+1. If detail fields Ak do not have any details for any of the checked or unchecked checkbox then APk has the value 0; in other words, m(APk) = 0.
    The sets of detail fields are organized in sequence. The “top” or “first” set is AP0. It is followed by AP1. Then followed by AP2. The “bottom” or “last” set is AP3.
    Consider an example with one checkbox selected. In this case m(CP2) = 3; m(AP0) = 3; m(CPi) = 0 for i=0, 1, 3; and m(APk) = 0 for k=0, 1, 3. See the following diagram too (see Figure 1).
    Events, Processes and Additional Data for Control
    Computation begins when a user event is captured by the system (such as a mouse up event in an AcroForm field like a button or a checkbox).
    Checking Process
    If a checkbox is checked (TNj), it is noted with an indicator (P0).
    Shift Process
    Given a noted checkbox, the search for a candidate set of detail fields to use for the noted checkbox begins.
    The first candidate is the bottom of the sequence. This is also the current candidate, k. Thus k=3.
    The current candidate is remembered by marking (TSk,j) the detail fields indicator (APk).
    If k=0 then the shift process ends and the current candidate is the candidate.
    If k > 0 and m(APk-1) = 0, the current candidate becomes APk-1 and step 8c is repeated.
    If k > 0 and m(APk-1) != 0, then the shift process ends and the current candidate is the candidate.
    Unchecking Process
    If m(CPi) != 0 and m(CPi) = m(APk), then the checkbox can be unchecked (TRk,i).
    Shift Process
    If m(APk)=0 and m(APk+1) > 0 then shift (TSk,m(APk+1)). At the end of this shift, m(APk) > 0 and m(APk+1) = 0. Let k = k + 1.
    If m(APk+1)>0 then repeat 9a. If m(APk+1)=0 then the shifting process ends.
    Last Events and Proceses
    Details fields can be initialized (TIk,j) and displayed (TDk,j) or cleared (TCk,j) and hidden (THk,j). These actions depend only on m(APk). However it would be a good idea to trigger these functions right after a shift process ends and on affected details fields.

    Figure 1 is a process model of the checkbox process with one checked checkbox.

  • Disable text box on selecting a checkbox of multiple selection lookup field in infopath 2010

    Hi
    In edit mode of the form,
    We have added one field in infopath which is lookup column and shows multiple selection chekboxes.
    One of the option from that lookup checkbox list is "Other".
    There is one textbox field which will be disabled by default.
    We want to enable this text box on selection of "Other" from lookup field checkbox list.
    Is it possible?
    if yes how can we do this?

    Hi Vyanky, I don't believe that's possible without some major functionality. The problem, as you probably know, is that it's a lookup with checkboxes. If it was added directly in InfoPath, then it wouldn't be an issue. You should consider adding "Other"
    as a separate yes/no field instead. That way you'll be able to add an action rule to it to enable the text box.

  • Rich Text Box Issue - Expand to show all Text

    Hi everyone
    I'm having a pretty frustrating issue with the rich text box when viewing a line item (not when editing the item, but viewing the item)
    I want my rich text box to expand with the text, which I have changed in the options on InfoPath with the "Expand to show all text" scrolling option. However, in IE, the table row will expand, but the actual rich text box will not and I'll have
    a scroll bar there and you cant see all of the text at one time. If I look in Chrome, then it works the way I want and I can see all of the lines of text that were entered into the rich text box.
    The only solution for IE to work correctly is to change the Display settings to "Enable enhanced rich text content...". But the big issue with that is now you can no longer highlight the text (the highlight disappears right after highlighting it),
    and the users will need to copy text from the text box, so it renders the "enhanced" rich text box useless for us
    It's kind of a lose-lose situation that I'd love to find the solution for

    I guess a better solution would be how can you highlight text from an enhanced rich text box, because changing these to "rich text box" gets rid of font colors in the pre-existing data.
    The original problem was that they couldn't highlight text unless they went into edit mode

  • InfoPath 2013 - Rich Text box - Expand to show all text option not working

    I have create an InfoPath form and created a view which will be used for printing. I have a rich text box in this print view and the scroll option for this rich text box is set to "Expand to show all text". However, it is not working and it doesn't
    expand the size of the text box based on the content length.
    same thing used to work in InfoPath 2010.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Neelesh

    Hi Wendy,
    Here are the steps I have used:
    1. On default view added a rich text box.
    2. Created another view called Print and mapped it to the same Field which I added to default view
    3. Set the Wrap text and Expand to show all text on both the Rich Text Box Properties - in default view and in Print
    view. Also set the height of the rich text box to auto.
    4. Set the print views as the print view for default view
    5. Deployed the form to SharePoint Form Library
    6. Opened the form in browser
    7. Entered the content in the rich text box in default view. It expands well if I have much content
    8. Clicked on Print preview and that opens up the print preview and it shows the rich text box only one line in height and with scroll bar
    I missed to mention that it is a web browser enabled form and I am using InfoPath 2013 and SP 2013.
    It does work fine in InfoPath client.
    Thanks.

  • How do I show dimensions of text boxes?

    The MUSE toolbar (if that's the correct name for it) used to show the size – width and height of text boxes as I was working on layout. This is vital with multi-column layouts which do not conform to the column grid – what old-school types like me know as ******* measures.(Not a PC description, but that's what they've been called in the publishing business for at least the past 50 years).
    Look at the layout of my website http://www.londonsriver.com and you will see what I mean.
    But in the latest release – which arrived overnight – this has vanished. It shows the X and Y co-ordinates, so I can see where the box is (not that I really care). But it doesn't show the DIMENSIONS which is what I want. They used to be next to the co-ordinates in the toolbar or ribbon or whatever it's called.
    Am I missing something? I've tried various options, but they don't appear. Maybe I'm being stupid, but I just want my dimensions back. The workround is laborious: Make the first column box, then draw another box above it, then slide that over to the second position. And so on. And very tedious if I already have two or three columns of text on a page that I am re-working. What do I do? Guess?? If they "look the same" in Muse they will be the same when the site is updated?
    I don't even begin to understand what many of the new features are in Muse – maybe one day I will have the time to learn. Maybe my site looks boring, but I come from the world of newspapers, so it is what it is and what I know how to do. I just want my dimensions back!
    Thanks. And by the way, a big thanks to everyone involved in inventing, developing and delivering Muse. I can now create pages in minutes, using the same core page design and editing skills that I have used for years – instead of inhabiting the half-world of techspeak and coding where other website building tools wanted to take me!!!
