Display Multiple Text Entries

HI, i am very new to Abode authoware 7......infact i just have the demo version so far...and intend to buy it if i find authoware useful....
well i have a project to take feedback from customers, though for now all i need is to display multiple text boxes, they don't need to do anything.
How do i display multiple text entries on screen at the same time? I repeat, they need not do anything.

Hi there
If you are actually using Authorware, you are in the wrong forum. This forum is for Adobe Captivate.
Cheers... Rick

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide?

Can I have multiple text entry boxes on one slide, each with it's own possible answer without having to have a separte submit button for each?
Message was edited by: Suzanne Petty

I'm using Captivate 5 - I'm thinking I would like to put two or three text entry boxes on one slide - say labeled Name, Email and Company I'd like to have any answer be accepted, yet I still want to have the answers included with the quiz reporting for our main quiz which I set up using a question pool.
I understand I can uncheck the validate user input box in the general menu in the property inspector, but that also makes the reporting menu inactive for the text entry box.
Is there a way to make validate user input accept any answer that is typed in the box, but still have the answers reported with my quiz?
Thanks

Multiple Text Entry Boxes on One Slide

I am developing training and assesment captivates for a software application. On certain forms in the application, I want to have the student enter text in multiple text boxes on one slide. Cannot figure out how to set the On Success options to validate the entry in one box and then move to the next box on the same slide. For example, in the attached shot, I want them to enter into Term1 Days, Term2 Days and Term 3 Days on the same slide. Have tried the Enable option, but cannot tweak that to work. Any ideas? Thank You

Hi there
I think to do this properly you will have to simply stage the Text Entry Boxes. Perhaps on different slides.
The user will then interact with one at a time.

Ability to display multiple texts within graphic planning board Gantt chart

I have been unable to change the planning board Bar Chart Graphic Profile (OPG0 and OPG9) to be able to display both material text and a user field within the Gantt chart graphic. I have copied the SAPSFCG011 profile and created my own. The profile is displayed below from CMCH.

In addition to the profile change, I have configured the graphical object type ZJB000 (in OPG9) to look as follows:

6       AFVG    Order operation                       USR08    User field for date
I have found that the 2nd text field (USR08) must be added as the last step (#6). When I had it as #1, the planning board did not display the USR08 value.
Now both are displayed in the Gantt chart graphic. However, it is difficult to see this long string of data as the bars in the Gantt chart may not be long enough to display the data.
Therefore we would like to use the "hover over" text which is displayed in the status line at the bottom of the screen. We have tried using both the Info Text and the Quick Info options within the Bar Chart: Options Profile (OPG0). Only the first text (the material descirption) is dislayed within either the Quick Info or the Info Text.
Is it possible to have multiple object values appear in Quick Info or Info Text? Or is it possible to control which text is displayed in the Quick Info or Info Text?
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated, as this is a make-or-break issue for the business to use the planning board. Thank you!

I'm also looking for a standard customizing alternative to do the same thing.
Still, if you're interested, I've already done it successfully with user exit PLAT0001.
Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Advice? Displaying multiple text streams

I've got a file format that contains up to 2 essentially independent styled text streams. I would like to display each stream in a visually independent text view (i.e. if 2 text streams, then 2 panes with scroll bars) and allow changes to be saved back to this single file in the same format.
I'm wondering what the best way to accomplish this is with the Swing text system? I've studied the Swing text documentation and I have two radically different ideas on how to go about this, but I was wondering if anyone else has better ideas than I.
Anyone?

Can you share your two ideas ?Sure.
First, Swing text using JTextPane uses a model/view/controller paradigm. The controller, EditorKit, seems to be responsible both for initializing the model (Document) from the persistent storage (a file), and indirectly for setting up view objects in the JTextPane. One idea was to subclass EditorKit with something that knows how to read my file type. I may also need a custom StyledDocument subclass that knows about the 2 parts. I may also need a custom ViewFactory and some custom Views. This approach boils down to: I need to learn the Swing text system a whole lot better before even trying.
The other approach is to say, ok, EditorKit will not do the reading and writing of the file. Instead I'll invent a class that can do that. This class would read each section into its own StyledDocument. Then I would have 2 JTextPane's, and attach these new initialized StyledDocuments to the respective JTextPanes. Alternatively, I could get the existing StyledDocument from the JTextPanes and my as-yet-non-existent class could read the sections into those StyledDocuments. This bypasses the i/o part of the EditorKit and lets it do whatever else it does--hopefully having the Document initialized by something other than the EditorKit itself would not be a problem.
Those are the two approaches I had so far thought of.

Text Entry Box not working right??

This is strange…. If anyone has any thoughts…
that would be great.
I have a slide that tests someone's knowledge for inputting
into a text entry box. I want to give them 2 tries for doing this
task - and if they don't perform the task correctly, I want an
error message to display. However, I want the error message to be
different based on the 1st time that they try and the second time.
The method to accomplish this.. I have done many times, and has
always worked. However, for some reason, it's not working this
time.
In order to customize the error message based on whether it's
the 1st try or the second - I have created 2 text entry boxes.
The first text entry box is set to display at 0 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide and a failure caption is
selected to display (this is the first error message that displays
for the first try.)
The second text entry box is set to display at 2 seconds, is
set to display for 2 seconds and is set to pause after 1.5 seconds.
If the user enters a successful text entry the user will be
navigated to the next slide, if the user enters an incorrect text
entry they will continue on the same slide. No failure caption is
selected to display. This is the important point... I have not
selected for a failure caption to display for this text entry box.
I have a text caption that displays at 4 seconds - this is
the second error message that the user will see if they input an
incorrect text entry into the second text entry box.
Everything seems to work fine except... for some reason, when
I enter an incorrect text entry into the second text entry box, I
get the failure message that I set for the first text entry box.???
Very strange. I have recreated this 3 times - each time it works.
Then, all of a sudden, it stops working. I’ve even tried
recreating the movie from scratch… but same results.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Lynn

Hi again
Okay, makes sense. I suppose in this case, I'd simply use
another slide. From what you have explained, it would appear there
is a possible issue Captivate is having with multiple text entry
boxes on the same slide.
So I would insert a slide following the existing slide. Then
on failure of the first text entry box, direct to the next slide.
On success of the first text entry box, skip over the new slide to
the proper "continue" slide.
Hopefully that makes sense... Rick

Multiple Text Boxes Populating a Single Field

I need to create several select lists in a form that can each populate the same field in a table, but obviously need for the select lists in the form to be mutually exclusive so that the user can only enter data into one of them.
There is also a field on the form displayed as a radiogroup, and I would like for the user's selection on this radiogroup to dictate which one of these multiple select lists they use to enter this data.
Before I do any of this, however, I guess my first question is, how do I create multiple text entry fields on a form for just a single field in the table?

hi brice--
if you're coding your form page manually, you'd simply add your extra fields to your page definition and conditionally diplay and use the values you needed. i'm guessing you're asking about wizard generated forms.
you can associate multiple fields with a single database column on your form by simply adding the extra ones you need and conditionally displaying/processing the ones you need. your other questions sound like javascript ones to me. if it were me, i'd take a look at our javascript how-to document at...
http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/htmldb_javascript_howto2.html
...and find the specific javascript i needed from google.
hope this helps,
raj

Problem causing (new line) in display of text in a report

Environment: Oracle 11.2; application express 4.1
I have a table with a unicode clob column into which I insert descriptive text. Within these text entries I have inserted CR/LF (\000D\000A). However when I display the text entries in a report, the text streams instead of appearing with separate lines.
My report statement:
select text_entry_dt, entry_authy_nm, entry_text
from obj_text
where obj_id = :P41_FIND_ID
and text_type_cd = 'DES'Any suggestions for what to do to obtain line separation within the entry_text content?
TIA,
George

Do Text Entry Boxes have to be done in a particular order

I am trying to use multiple text entry boxes on one slide. Each TEB has a conditional action tied to it.
The CA is designed so that user could do the TEBs in any order, and when the last one is completed, the CA moves to the next slide.
This approach works for click boxes, but does not work consistently for TEBs.

I am using Auto submit; the lose focus action is the same conditional action I use for the TEB, Enter is the shortcut key

How to display multiple lines of texts in a single rows in ALV

Hi,
I have a unique requirement in which i have to display multiple lines if texts for a single rows in ALV Grid. Right now in my output it is coming in single line which is not visible fully because that text is more than 255 character. So i want to display the test by splitting into multiple lines and show it on output. Please suggest some solution for this if this is possible in ALV.
Thanks,
Raghav

Hi Raghavendra,
Its not possible to display multiple line in one row of an alv, but i think you can acheive it by splitting the whole text into multiple sub-text.
For example, if your requirement is as below:
Field #1          Field #2
1                    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx(200 characters)
2                    yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy(220 character)
then you can break Field#2 value into say 50 character and then populate the internal table with repetative entries of Field#1 and the finally sort it by Field#1 value... as a result of which you output will be somewhat as below:
Field#1          Field#2
1                   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2                   yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
                     yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hope it will help you in meeting your requirement.

How to display multiple lines in a text box defined in steploop.

Hi,
I have a requirement to display data ( which is dynamic in nature. I determine data type,length etc dynamically) in a table format. I am using step loop for the same. I am facing a problem. Some field can be as long as 256 char long. Is there any way to display multiple lines in text box defined in a step loop so that I can display the complete string as one entity.
I can't use custom control as custom control can't be defined in a step loop or table controlI would really appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Hello Sanjeev
Perhaps it is possible to use a <b>mixed strategy</b> consisting of a classical table control (or, even better, an ALV grid list) where you display the first 250 character of the data and next to the table control you place a simple textedit control. When the user selects one of the text fragments in the table control the entire text will be displayed in the textedit control.

Uwe

How to create a view to display Multiple lines of Text using ABAP WebDynpro

Hi,
I need to create a static view page in ABAP WebDynpro that displays Static text data in multiple paragraphs. I tried to use textview, formatted text, text edit controls by binding the textcontrol to a text object that is created in so10, but the output I am getting is only one line and the character count is limited to 60 to 65 characters.
I would like to know which control needs to be used in ABAP Webdynpro to get multiple lines displayed with text formatting like Paragraph, Indenting and Size.....

Cp5 - Text Entry Box - Fill Alpha =0 Text doesn't display

In previous versions I was able to select a trans background for text entry boxes. They've created a Fill and Stroke option where I can select Fill Alpha=0 (tranparent) but when I select that, the text doesn't display in the text box when I type, as it did in the previous version. When I go to the style editor, the preview displays correctly. My text colour is black and the image is white.
Thoughts?
