Choose a Text Object that...

Hi,
I want to have a multiline text field (3 lines) that puts automaticly text in a new line if the text is longer the the line's lengh.
I used JTextField and JTextArea,
couldn't set it to fulfill my needs.
Maybe something different? Or maybe I could't use its methods in the right way?
Thanks!

how to set up the border style in JTextArea, so it will look like JTextField?textArea.setBorder(new JTextField().getBorder());

Distribute spacing of text objects that are in a group doesn't work

Here's the scenario:
create a set of discreet text objects, say for a nav bar on a web site
put these in a group
open the align objects panel
set the "Align to" to "Selection"
attempt that the distribute spacing (or, in fact, any of the align panel options) doesn't seem to work. I have to ungroup the objects first.
If i choose Align to Artboard some of the options work.
Is this a ttwii (that's the way it is) or am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Steve

Yes ttwi.
Align & Distribute, aligns and distributes groups, not the elements within a group.
If this was the other way around trying to align logos/UPCs/illustrations would create a mess as these are usually groups of multiple elements.

Txt formatting issues with fields in text object

Post Author: David Goldman
CA Forum: General
Hi, complete newbie here. I'm working on my company's estimating form. I was requested to combine fields FCITY FSTATE and FZIP into one line that auto flows any given data. So I used a Text object with field calls to FCITY FSTATE and FZIP. This works very well, however my text is always formated to the way it was entered into the database. ie. if some salesman enters his info with the capslock key on, it shows up in my text object that way, and not in my regular fields. The regular fields are somehow formatting the text to cap the first letter of each word. How can I configure my text object to do this? Thanks

Format the fields prior to placing them in the text box.
For example,
propercase({table.last_name}) & ', ' & propercase({table.first_name}) & ' ' & propercase({table.middle_name});
Then place the formula in a text box and then right click and check the box next to 'Suppress Embeded Field Blanks'.

FXPlug making text objects

how can i get a plugin to generate a text object?
i have literally thousands of text objects that will be moving and doing it all by hand is tedious and you can all agree its mega slow and difficult to make changes and apply behaviors to them all

(creative cow was it?)
ok, i'll try give more detail
say i have 1000 words, and i want them to exist for a certain amount of frames.
during the time they exist they will animate (keyframe animation is sufficient).
at a certain frame the word's outline will change and then a behavior will activate on that word, and the character will individually vanish in a fancy way
what i want to do with FX plug is read in a text file that contains the words, their life span, and where/when they will animate. This part is easy, it's just basic Objective C stuff
specific to motion, i want the FX Plug to create a text object for each word that it reads with certain properties.
i want the user to be able to control the colour of the outline of the words. The problem is, is that each word will have a different style attached to them and as far as i can tell, you can select all text objects and mass modify their outline colour (that is, modify all the outline colours at once)
so i want to create the UI (easy) that will mass modify all the text object's outline colour
I also want to mass apply a behavior that will trigger at the unique frame that the word should "die"
so, in summary
i need the FX plug to:
- read in a text file (easy, i can do that already)
- create a text object that exists for a certain length of time, and animates transformation values
- keyframe the outline (information provided by the text file)
- change the colour of the outline of ALL words at once
- apply a behavior that will trigger at a certain unique frame (specified by the text file for a particular word)
is this possible in motion?

Formatting a date that is inserted into a text object

The on-line documentation for inserting a date into a form letter instructs a user to insert a Print Date into a text object. To format the date, the user is instructed to double-click on the date object and then right click and select Format {Print Date} from the menu.
This works when using Crystal Reports 2008 without any service packs.
However, after installing SP1, this feature no longer works. The Format {Print Date} is grayed out and not available for selection.
I am using VISTA Enterprise.
Are there any reasonable reasons why this functionality was removed with SP1.

You have a brilliant work around. Thanks!
However, it is still a work around.
I hope someone within the Crystal Reports organization sees this post and either provides an explaination as to why SP1 does not allow you to directly edit a field or that someone realizes that this is a bug and starts the process of providing a fix.
By the way, I duplicated the problem on both VISTA and XP machines.

Text Object Error in Adobe forms

Hello Friends,
I am trying to include a text object in Adobe PDF-based print form.
In the context, I have created a node for the text. I chose the Text Type as Include Text. I am able to choose the required Text Object and Text ID from the respective search helps. When trying to activate the form, I am getting an error saying that I did not specify a text name. I tried to rectify this error but could not do so.
Please help me out on how to rectify this error.
Points will be rewarded for useful answers.
Thanks,
John.

Are you giving the text name in single quotes.

SAVE_TEXT problem in adding new text identifier to an existing text object

I have an existing text object "ZEANR" which stores 9 long text data with identifiers 1 to 9. I want to add a new long text to that text object with id 10. when I use SAVE_TEXT function (with same parameters as others except the ID is set to "0010"), it throws an exception saying : "0010" text identifier is not defined for Text object "ZEANR". How can we append more long texts to an existing object ? I Have tried to change the insert parameter of the SAVE_TEXT function but it didn't work with both cases. I am getting the exception at perform chech_key --> perform check_id of the SAVE_TEXT function.
if someone knows the answer I will be preciated. thanks in advance.

The text ID specified in the parameter ID or text header (field TDID) should exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there with the text module object.
Go to transaction SE75, select "Text Objects and IDs", Change. Find your text object (ZEANR) in the list and double click. Choose create. Add a new text id (0010) and description. Save.

TOC from contents of text objects

Is there a way to make the TOC builder look in text objects when it is creating the TOC? There was one post with a workaround, but my document has text for the TOC (in a text object) on every page. I could hide the text, but I was hoping for a more direct solution.
Thanks

Hello Linus,
welcome to the Pages Discussions.Unfortunately there is no way to tell Pages to insert text from textboxes or textshapes into the TOC. Only text from the main textarea will be inserted. You can see all TOC entries (the specific paragraph styles) by showing the "Text" inspector and choosing the "TOC" tab panel.
My work-around will be working only if the textboxes containing the text for the TOC will be inline objects (moving with the text). Only then is a 99% guarantee that the invisible text will be on the same page as the textboxes by placing the invisible text directly above, below or beside the textboxes, depending on the layout of your document.

There is no need of activation for standard text... save will do...
Also note: standard text is client dependent... you need to attach to your transport request manually to move between clients...

How to Change behavior of standard text object&text ID (SE75)?

Hello there!!
I'm struggling with this:
For standard text object C_SHES_ACH & ID 0001 (EHS: IHS Safety Measures) wichs is used as a description for safety measures (CBIH82/CBIH02..) need that when the user create or edit the text, already appears a "Fill in the blanks" form.
For example, in CBIH82, editing an accident log, I go to Safety measures Button, then create a safety meassure, and when i click for long text description something like this should appear:
TEXT 1 (1st Title)
user line
user line
user line
user line
(free amount of user lines)
TEXT 2 (2nd Title)
user line
user line
user line
user line
(free amount of user lines)
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Rgds!!

Hii,
I am unable to understand exactly wat you want.
But for free amount of lines : Keep that text under LOOP. Right click on template or window and create a loop and under that loop keep the text ,you can get many lines. or the given below point plzz follow.
1,Use SO10 Tcode to write standard text in Smartform.
2.For long text
method1
Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to include text
then you can input text name/text object/text id/language
method2
create PROGRAM LINE node - use FM READ_TEXT to read it to a internal table
then use LOOP or TABLE node to display it
For TEXT module(For foreign language)
Tr-code:smartforms -- choose Text module(not choose form)--create a text module object
then enter smartform Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to text module
input the text module name which created by above
3.
1. take function module name of the smartform.
2. goto se37 and type that fm name.
3. goto attributes tab
4. double click on either program or include .
5. There u can find all the subroutines used inside smartform.
6. search for "perform %move using %textkey-name".
4.Standard Texts are created in SO10 Tcode and stored in STXH table with OBject ,ID and NAME parameters. We can use Read_Text FM to read the text.
check the tables STXH & STXL.
5.
How to CAll Standard Text in Smart Forms
In SFs you can insert the standard tests using the TEXT node. Create a TEXT NODE. Then in the GENERAL ATTRIBUTES of this TEXT node select INCLUDE TEXT in the TYPE option. Then you have to enter the text name, object , ID and language in the provided fields. Then if you dont want any error if there is no text in the corresponding text then CHECK the check box "No errors if no text available.

Can I make objects that do not print? Like a guide box for labels.

I wanted to print labels for my memorex DVD labels but couldn't find templates for pages. The doc files open but pages prints the lines of the guides which are never exactly correct so they look horribly uneven. Can I make a separate layer that doesn't print or objects that won't print but are selectable.

The 'guides' are probably text boxes, into which you place the text.
Select one of these, then use the Stroke controls in the Format bar to set the stroke to 'none.'
Choose View > Show Layout to see the position of the box (and other layout elements, such as the left and top margins and the header box in this screen shot):
When printed, or viewed with Show Layout turned off, the same portion of the same page will have this appearance (not including the difference in scale caused by the automatic scaling of graphics on this board):
"View" in the instruction above means either the View button on the Toolbar or the View menu in the Menu Bar.

Barry

What are the objects that support variables?

What are the objects that support variables?

Using Variables: The Variable Wizard and the Variable Editor
Definition
Variables are parameters of a query that you defined in the Query Designer and that are filled with values when you execute the query or Web application. They serve as a store for characteristic values, hierarchies, hierarchy nodes, texts and formula elements, and can be processed in different ways.
The processing type determines how a variable is filled with a value for the runtime of the query or Web application.
There are different types of variables depending on the object for which you want to define variables. These types specify where you can use the variables.
Variables are reusable objects. This means that when you define a variable for a query in the Query Designer, this variable can be used in all other queries. Variables are not dependent on the InfoProvider, only on the InfoObject. A variable that you define for an InfoObject is available in all InfoProviders that use this InfoObject.
Use
Variables enable you to customize queries flexibly (parameterize the query) possible. If you use variables in the Query Designer, do not select any fixed characteristic values, hierarchies, hierarchy nodes, texts, or formula elements. Instead, set up variables as place holders. These are then filled with values when the query is running (when you insert the query into a workbook, when you refresh the workbook or when you execute the query on the Web. You can use one query definition as the foundation for many different queries if you use variables.
You want to create one query for all the people responsible for customer groups, who each only evaluate the data for one customer group. In the Query Designer, you insert a variable for the characteristic u2018customer groupu2019. Just before the query is executed, decide for which customer group(s) you want the query to apply to.
There are two tools in the Query Designer for designing and changing variables.
The variable wizard takes you step-by-step through the process of defining a variable. Each individual step is context-sensitive and is adjusted according to the combination of variable and processing types used. This means that the variable wizard only offers the selection options that are permitted for that combination of variable and processing types. For more information, see Defining Variables with the Variable Wizard.
The variable editor dialog box offers all of the selection options for changing an existing variable. The individual fields in the dialog box show the settings affected in the variable. You can change these settings here. If you want to make the changes using a step-by-step process with explanatory texts, you can jump to the variable wizard using . For more information, see Changing Variables in the Variable Editor.
Integration
The variable wizard and the variable editor are functions in the Query Designer and are context-sensitive.
In principle, the two dialog boxes appear wherever you can enter constants (that is, values) in input fields. One of these input fields is the Entry of Variables checkbox. If you select this option, the following options for using a variable appear, instead of a fixed value:
·        The variables that are available appear in the dropdown box for the input field. You can select a variable from the dropdown box.
·        The symbol Change Variable appears next to the Entry of Variables checkbox. You can change the variable using . The Variable Editor dialog box appears.
·        The symbol New Variable appears next to the Entry of Variables checkbox. Choose if you want to create a new variable. The Variable Wizard dialog box appears.
By way of an example, when defining conditions for the value limit of the condition, you can not only enter fixed values but also formula variables. Mark the Entry of Variables checkbox and you can then use the options described above. The settings are context-sensitive so that the formula variables that only those formula variables that are available appear in the dropdown box. The variable wizard is set up automatically in the same way for entering formula variables.
You can also get to the variable wizard and the variable editor from the context menu of those objects for whose values you can define variable placeholders. From the context menu, choose New Variable. The SAP BW Variables Wizard appears. In the context menu for variables that have already been defined, you can choose Edit. The SAP BW Variables Editor appears.
In the InfoProvider objects dialog box, you select a characteristic (for example, Order) and from the context menu, choose New Variable. You reach the variable wizard, which is already set up for you to enter a characteristic value variable.
In the InfoProvider objects dialog box, you select a characteristic value variable and from the context menu, choose Edit. You reach the variable editor where you see all of the settings for the variable. You can make changes to the variables here.
Variable Types
Definition
The type of variable being used. This determines the object that the variable represents as a placeholder for a concrete value.
Structure
There are different types of variables depending on the object for which you want to define variables. These types specify where you can use the variables.
·        Characteristic Value Variables
Characteristic value variables represent characteristic values and can be used wherever characteristic values are used.
If you restrict characteristics to specific characteristic values, you can also use characteristic value variables. See, Restricting Characteristics.
·        Hierarchy Variables
Hierarchy variables represent hierarchies and can be used wherever hierarchies can be selected.
If you restrict characteristics to specific hierarchies or select presentation hierarchies, you can also use hierarchy variables. See Selecting Hierarchies
·        Hierarchy Node Variables
Hierarchy node variables represent a node in a hierarchy and can be used wherever hierarchy nodes are used.
If you restrict characteristics to specific hierarchy nodes, you can also use hierarchy node variables. See Restricting Characteristics: Hierarchies
·        Text Variables
Text variables represent a text and can be used in descriptions of queries, calculated key figures and structural components.
You can use text variables in the description of calculated key figures, restricted key figures, selections and formulas when you create them. See Defining Calculated Key Figures, Defining Restricted Key Figures, Defining Selections, and Defining Formulas.
You can change the descriptions in the properties dialog box. See Query Properties Calculated Key Figure Properties Restricted Key Figure Properties, and Selection/Formula Properties.
·        Formula Variables
Formula variables represent numerical values and can be used in formulas. See Defining Formulas.
In addition, numerical values are used for selecting exceptions and conditions and you can also use formula variables here. See Defining Exceptions and Defining Conditions
You can use a formula variable for the interest rate in order to process the current interest rate, after you have executed the query or Web application.

How to filter Choose from list object rows?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to show Choose from list window using SBO 2005 PL07, Actually I want to show the Active Account of G/L Account, I set the CFL object to one column as following:
oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = SAPbouiCOM.BoLinkedObject.lf_GLAccounts
oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL"
oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
Who knows how to set Choose From list object only show Active Account and do not show Title Account.
Thanks for your help!
Kathy

Hi kathy
I have not tried it on the gl accounts. But basicaly you need to add conditions to filter it. The following is an example that you would of used for business partners but only customers.
Dim oCFLs As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCollection
            Dim oCons As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            Dim oCon As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
            oCFLs = oForm.ChooseFromLists
            Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
            Dim oCFLCreationParams As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCreationParams
            oCFLCreationParams = SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams)
            ' Adding 2 CFL, one for the button and one for the edit text.
            oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = False
            oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "2"
            oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL1"
            oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
            ' Adding Conditions to CFL1
            oCons = oCFL.GetConditions()
            oCon = oCons.Add()
            oCon.Alias = "CardType"
            oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
            oCon.CondVal = "C"
            oCFL.SetConditions(oCons)
            oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL2"
            oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
The above also compensates for the tab.
Hope it helps

How do you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover mouse over?

Hi people,
I really need to know how you create the 'cream pop-up info text boxes' that appear when you hover your mouse over an object on a webpage (and often in any program e.g. Photoshop) for more than a second. I need to know because the logo on my website is the navigation tool used to return to the homepage. It is always found in the top left so the user can always click it to return.
The only problem is im the only one who knows that when you click my logo, you return to the homepage. I need one of these 'cream info boxes' (forgive my lack of knowledge) to appear so the user will figure it out.
Thanks for taking the time to read my question...

Using your code it should look like this where title attribute is in red:
