Dialog boxes text limit?

Is there a limit to the amount of text that can be displayed in a dialog box.

Hi,
I don't think so, I have had them become so big that the ok button is pushed off the bottom of the screen. It still has focus so you can use the enter key to click it but obviously can't use the mouse.

Query/Where dialog box size limit

I searched this forum and was unable to find out a way to add more than 200 characters to the Query/Where dialogue box when using the colon query. I see that this object is a security risk but we still use it and have been using it for years. I guess someone finally tried to enter more than 200 char and hit the limit. This is 9.041 (obsolete I know).

You did not indicate which Forms version you are using. I just test in 10.1.2.3 and it works correctly.
1. Verify FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=FALSE in default.env
2. Enter Query
3. Type :a into the desired field
4. Execute Query
If you are not using 10.1.2.3 and have executed the above step and the problem still reproduces, upgrade to 10.1.2.3 or 11.1.1.3

How to get title in Dialog box

How to get title in Dialog box like "Adobe® Connect™ "

Works for me. What happened when you tried?
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E6E6EE;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the AppleScript Editor">
tell application "Finder" to display dialog "I need ® or ™ in dialog box text" with title "I need ® or ™ in dialog box text" buttons {"Aha!"} default button 1</pre>

The update dialog box needs updating; see Firefox settings icon, ? icon (on bottom), "About Firefox" link

Please "forward" this to the Firefox development team for consideration!
Proposing the dialog box text should become:
"Firefox is designed by Mozilla, a global community of contributors and developers, all working together to keep the Web open, public, and accessible to all."
The added comma after "public" above, is referred to as an "Oxford comma" (see Rule #1 at http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/commas.asp ). It should be used because this section is a three-part adjectival series with "open," "public," and "accessible" each referring back to how "the Web" should be kept for us all!
As with Boolean ANDing, using "public and accessible" without a comma after "public," binds them together to tightly for a three part series of adjectives!
This support webpage cannot upload a screenshot for some reason, but you all know how to see the about dialog in Firefox for yourselves! Someone should please also add what types of images work best for uploading screenshots next to "Add Images:" on this submission webpage too.
Thanks!

Add or Edit Text Dialog Box Disappeared

I am attempting to add text to my pdf using the add or edit text tool in Acrobat Pro X. However, the dialog box that allows me to change fonts, size, color, etc. has disappeared. Does anyone know how to make the dialog box come back?

Hi,
This is a new problem. It started about 2 days before I posted the question. I have not updated my Acrobat recently and I was previously able to use the dialog box with no problem. I have tried in several different documents and the dialog box is not showing up.
Thanks for your assistance.

}Maybe they are not the best codes, i wrote them a long time ago, so dont ask why i did anything wierd. :D
But anyway it works.

I just statred Flash CC for the first time and it seems that the text within the pop-up window (dialog box) is mis-aligned and not allowing me access to the command buttons, nor all the text. (ie: the NEW Template Box, can't see but 2/3 of the content)

Text dialog box instead of Report tab

I'm using TS3.5 and customizing the LabVIEW version of the OI. I would like to do two things. (1) Make the Test Sequence and Test Execution tabs visible at all times. Currently, the Execution tab (along with the Report tab) appear when "Test UUT" is selected or Executions is selected in the Listbox to the left of the SequenceView control. (2) I would like the report information to appear on the Sequence and Executions tabs as a Text Dialog box, to the right of the SequenceView control (that currently displays Step,Status,Flow Control).
Can someone get me started?

Hey Mr. Bean,
1) There is a subvi called Configure Event Callbacks in the block diagram. Inside of here there is a callback VI for the UIMessage handling. It is called Page Change CBack. Inside of there you'll see a subvi called Show Appropriate Tabs. This is where the tabs are being set for which one is shown. You can tweak this code to do what you expect.
2) You can just copy and paste the ReportView control onto the execution Tab. You will have to change some things in the block diagram to get it to look right. Like the code in resize controls subvi so that your execution control doesn't overshadow the new reportview control and you'll most likely have to make the new reportview control ConnectReportView. You can see how this is done by looking at the other one.

How to simply display resulting text in a dialog Box

Is there a way to simply display resulting text in a dialog Box - not a text edit document?
Doug_

Thanks that's very helpful
What I am trying to to is to create a workflow that opens mail and displays iCal TO DO's that I have created throughout the day tagged with the word MAIL so they can be filtered.
At the moment the ACTIONS are:
Launch Mail
Get New Mail
Find TO DOs in iCal (Who's SUMMERY includes MAIL)
I get iCal To Do's as a result
But then...I can find no options to display the iCal Events that result.
Putting in the Applescript you posted displays a blank dialog box. This tells me that there is no text in the result.
Yet if I put a SPEAK TEXT in after find TO DOs it dutifully speaks my filtered TO DO's
I thought I might just try a NEW MAIL MESSAGE action.
This works great in the workflow. The content of the new mail is the filtered TO DOs.
But if I save it as an application (the form I need it in), mail simply opens blank when it reached that part of the work flow.
What would you recommend?
Thank again for your help,
Doug_

Can't enter text in certain forum dialog boxes (java?)

On certain forums and sites, I am unable to click on a dialog box and enter text. When I click in the box, it either highlights the line or the whole box but does not allow me to enter any text - the keyboard does not appear. I do not have an option to paste text either. The text/dialog boxes look similar to the one I am writing in right now. For my online classes, I use Moodle, and that's one of the sites that causes this issue. It was an issue also on my iPhone but I was hopeful that it would work differently on the iPad.
There are two methods I've found to enter text. One is through HTML and the second is unreliable -sometimes if I click in the box while I refresh, I can get the keyboard to pop up.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Java is enabled and I've tried clearing everything.

According to what I read on another forum entry - to do with WYSIWYG editors - this is a problem with Safari. Apparently, it doesn't handle Javascript correctly in all cases. I administer Joomla sites and Safari on a standard machine, let alone an iPad, gives me a lot of grief. So, on any other machine I use Chrome or FireFox. Sadly, this isn't an option on an iPad. We're stuck with Safari - whether we like it or not!

How do i add a download action for dxf files. firefox assumes its a text file and just opens it with no download action dialog box

I want to add a download action for dxf files so they open in Autodesk trueview. The steps described here (http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing%20file%20types#w_adding-download-actions) say to click on a link for the filetype you want to add an action to but firefox thinks the dxf is a text file and just opens it in a new tab with no download action dialog box.

Use the right-click context menu and choose "Save Link As" or hold down the alt key and left-click the link.

I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. It displays text of whatever I am in, apps, docs, etc, and I have been unable to get rid of it.

I have a black dialog box on my display that I cannot get rid of. I was cleaning my keyboard and must have hit some combination of keys that caused it. It shows text announcing everything I open on the display or am looking at. Can anyone help me turn this off? Thanks.

Hi there francone,
It sounds like you may have the Picture-in-Picture Zoom option enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information as well as how to disable it.

Deleting text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes

I am trying to delete text in a file dialog box via simulated keyboard strokes, but the key combination of SHIFT down - HOME - END - SHIFT up does not highlight the text as expected. I attach an example vi that opens its own file open box, enters a text string, which it should subsequently delete. But it is not deleting the text as expected. What do I need to change?
Attachments:
Test_Delete_Text_in_File_Dialog_Box.vi ‏40 KB

Pbuerki,
It looks like you are doing all the keystrokes correctly. My only guess as to why it is not highlighting is that the keybd_event function does not support advanced key code commands. The function is outdated and has been superseded. See the follow MSDN link for more information: MSDN keybd_event.
There are probably some easier ways to accomplish your overall objective. What are you trying to do? Do you simply want to programmatically open a file?
Have a nice day!

How do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear on a MAC?

how do you get the text box text properties dialog box to appear in Adobe Reader XI on a MAC? I know windows is Ctrl-E but can't figure out what to hit for Mac.

Right-click the toolbar and you should find it there (including the short-cut, which is probably Cmd+E).
