Display Dialogue Box To Obtain User Value

Hello
I want to display a dialogue box for the user to enter a value (an integer) and be able to click Cancel or OK. I can't see any way of invoking a dialogue box enabling a user to enter a value, only a message box.
Thanks
Chris

Thanks
It's amazing that every dialogue box which everyone makes has to be made from scratch! A lot of work for such a fundamental function.
My flash movie is embedded in a web page. Can I make this dialogue box 'pop up' over my web page?
Regards
Chris

If i have a form with check boxes. Can I add a button that will display the boxes that the user selected on a new page?

For example, there are 10 check boxes and the user selects 5 of those boxes. Then they click a submit button. Just the information from those boxes would be displayed so they can print it. Is this possible? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

That is definitely possible.
Option 1: checkboxes are all named differently.
In the click event for the submit button, add some code like this...
if (cbChoice1 == "1") p2.tfChoice1.presence = "visible";
else p2.tfChoice1.presence = "hidden"; //can use "invisible" if preferred
if (cbChoice2 == "1")...
Option 2: checkboxes are named the same
In the click event for the submit button, add code like this...
var checkboxes = xfa.resolveNodes("cbChoice[*]");
var textfields = xfa.resolveNodes("p2.tfChoice[*]");
for (i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++){
if( checkboxes.item(i).rawValue == "1") textfields.item(i).presence = "visible";
else textfields.item(i).presence = "hidden";

Report opens Save as Dialogue Box, on client.

Hi,
I am using Report Builder 11.1.2.1.0, and I am calling a report from Form.
If I run/call report on my own pc it opens perfectly in browser (pdf format), but if same report is opened on client pc, it opens Save As dialogue box and asks user to save the report.
Can you please let me know, how can I achieve to open a report in browser on client's pc, without opening Save As Dialogue.
Eagerly waiting for your replies.
Regards,

That is probably because the user's browser does not support opening a pdf document.
Most browsers support pdf, some need a plugin. Check what happens with any other pdf document on the web that you want to open on the user's PC, like http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17643.pdf

I want to use Native System Center Software Center Notification box or Windows Update dialogue box to force a reboot.

I'm installing software that will require a reboot. I would like to use the Windows Update dialogue box to prompt users to reboot.
Or a reboot dialogue box that mimics System Center Software Center Notification box
Does anyone know of a way to use the System Center Client notification or the Windows update box to force a reboot. This is familiar to my users and will not freak them out

The Coretech Shutdown Tool is free, excellent and would satisfy your requirement.

List of Values Displays a Dialogue Box

Hi All,
We are using 2007A PL30, whenever pressing Tab on a list of value field, system displays a dialogue box first like "The result of the 'List of' query contains more records than you defined in the general settings. Continue?" Yes or No. If Yes is pressed then a list of values appears else no result.
I checked the general settings, but there is nothing special. Kindly help me out with this issue.
BR,
/Siddiq

Hi
Normally this message is triggered when the number of rows in the List you are viewing has a value more than one and the results in the List is more than the value specified in
administration > Sys. Int> Gen. Sett--> display Tab --> No. of Rows in"List of" windows field.
If you are saying there is no value specified there try upgrading your PL to a latest version maybe your issue will be sorted.

Authentication dialogue box not displaying properly in 10.6.5

I've updated to 10.6.5 last night. Everything seems to work just fine except for the authentication dialogue box. All letters turn out to be capital A's in boxes. Authentication itself still works, but the improper displaying of characters just bugs me. Does anyone have that problem? Thanks guys!

Wow thanks! It wasn't a 10.6.5 bug after all. I downloaded a Leopard UI set, and thought it would be nice to include the Lucida fonts in my OS. I didn't see the fonts in the fonts folder, but it turned out that they were there and I just duplicated them. Thanks

How to disable dialogue box asking for exchange user/psswd

Everytime a particular user sends me an email, just by clicking on that email or opening it, I get this annoying pop up dialogue box asking for name and password.
It looks like an exchange server thats connected to the users account and has nothing to do with my email account. I don't use exchange.
I have to hit cancel 3X and then it automatically prompts me every few seconds.

Solved.
It was because the folder was from time machine backup that I just dragged and dropped to desktop.

How to hide cut/copy/paste/Replace… menu on the UIWebView when it is being displayed over the keyboard.
Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

Choose system preferences, then under 'Personal' choose 'Universal Access''
You will see a checkbox called 'Voice Over'' (under the seeing tab). Switch this to off.
Good luck

Edit the INITIAL values in Layer...Layer Styles...Drop Shadow dialogue box

How can I edit the values in Layer...Layer Styles...Drop Shadow dialogue box so that values that appear when I FIRST OPEN the box are the values I use commonly?
For example, once I open the dialogue box, the Blend Mode is always "Multiply" and the Angle is always "120". I always use "Normal" and "45". Is there a place where I can make my default values "Normal" and "45"?

Which version of photoshop are you using?
Newer versions of photoshop have a Make Default button at the bottom of the dialog.

Save Password Dialogue Box Not Displaying

I am seeing behavior that suggests that the dialogue box for saving passwords is invisible:
* I can frequently see the outline of a box where the dialogue box would be
* On a couple of occassions, the dialogue box would appear for a few seconds before disappearing - I was once even able to save it
* On sites where I enter a password, hyperlinks are not recognized in the area where the save password dialogue would normally appear - it's as if the window is there but not visible.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
Private Browsing is Off. Save passwords is checked.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Printing mulitple tabs without getting Page Setup & Print dialogue boxes

I am using Forms 6.0.5.2. I have a form with 7 tabs and I need to be able to have a Print All button that prints a screen image of each tab. I have tried programming a trigger that executes a GO_BLOCK('a'); print; GO_BLOCK('b'); print; etc etc. While this will work, it is not user friendly as it prompts the user with the "Print" dialogue box (to select which printer to print to) and then the "Print Capture beginning. Don't move or occlude window until done" diaglogue box every time the print command is executed. Is anyone aware of a way to have these dialogue boxes come up only the first time the print command is issued and to be suppressed afterwards?

It's relatively easy to setup a series of questions and capture the results via display dialog, for example:
set bleedVal to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the required bleed:" default answer "0" buttons {"OK"} default button 1)
set bleed to bleedVal
You can even do fancy things like:
set orientationVal to button returned of (display dialog "Enter the required bleed:" buttons {"Landscape", "Portrait"} default button "Portrait")
set orientation to orientationVal
or:
set paperSize to (choose from list {"A3", "A4", "B3", "B4"} with prompt "choose a paper size" default items "A3") as text
set paper size to paperSize
Note that you may want to perform some input validation on the value entered to make sure that users don't enter inappropriate values such as "0" for the enlargement/reduction ratio, or "none" for bleed values, etc.

Can't bookmark certain web pages. I press Ctrl-D and the "Bookmark this page" dialogue box does not appear.

For example: If I open the home page of The New York Times and press Cntrl-D, the bookmark dialogue box appears but pressing "done" has no effect, the bookmark is not saved. If I go to a page with a particular article, then the bookmark function does not even appear. At first i thought this had something to do with the web site, but that isn't the problem. I just can't bookmark anything. On some pages the dialogue box appears and on others it doesn't, but the result is the same everywhere: zilch.
And here is something really strange: when i press Cntrl-D on the Firefox start page, the bookmark dialogue box appears with "Board of Education" in the page title field. What is ''that'' all about?
I have tried all manner of fixes: deleting "places.sqlite" and "localstore.rdf" files, operating in "safe mode", disabling add-ons, re-installing Firefox, etc. etc.. Nothing seems to work. I am running the latest version of Zone Alarm Security Suite. It has an advanced browser security function that includes virtualization. I tried disabling the browser security option, but this did not solve the problem, although I still suspect that Zone Alarm could be the culprit somehow (it often is). \
Any and all ideas will be welcome as I am fresh out.

The problem with bookmarking (which I thought I had eliminated with a clean reinstall) has returned after a Firefox update.
Checked out /questions/743526.
A scan with Malwarebytes did not detect any malware. Not in normal mode, not in safe mode.
And look at the solutions offered by st4dog and jimcou: they each deleted different registry values to get rid of XULRunner.
My problem remains as it was: I don't want to mess with my registry unless I know ''exactly'' what I am looking for (deleting). At least my PC is running, and scans with Malwarebytes, SpyBot SD, Pest Patrol and Zone Alarm AV reveal no infections. If I screw up the registry I think I'll be in a lot worse shape.
Again, until I have ''specific'' instructions on how to get rid of this thing I guess I'll just have to be content with using IE if I want to do any bookmarking.
Thanks for the reference. I do appreciate all of your - and other user's - help in trying to solve this problem.

How can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.

When the show button is pressed (and not before), a filled black square should be
displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

Hello,
does setSelectedIndex(int anIndex)
do what you need?
