Display system time in text field

hi all,
I want to diplay the current system time (format: hh:mm) in a text field on screen
... and update the displayed time every minute.
How would I implement it ?
Thanks for your assistance.

run the code above in a thread that is activated after every 1 min to update the timeYou should not create a thread to do this. Swing components should be updated in the event thread. It is better to use a Swing Timer. This thread deals with this issue. Replies 1 & 4 are the most relevant:

Displaying images in dynamic text fields

Hi, I am having some difficulty getting my images to display
in a dynamic text field. The images are linked from a txt file with
the <img src=""> tag however they are not showing up in the
text area. The rest of the html are rendering fine except the image
tag. My example online is here:
www.supernaturalmedia.com.
Here is the code I used in Flash:
var style_sheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var css_url = "global.css";
style_sheet.load(css_url);
news.StyleSheet = style_sheet;
loadVariables("projects_news.txt", this.news);
My css styles also isn't loadin so i temporarily am using
html styles for formatting. I'd like to get the css to work as
well.
My movie is published as Flash Player 6, AS 2.0.
I'd appreciate any helpful advice.
Thanks,
Stanton

1. don't assign the stylesheet property of your textfield
until loading of global.css is complete. ie, use the onLoad handler
for stylesheets.
2. you have movieclip images that are linked for export and
you're using their linkage id in src property of the img
tag?

Difficulty displaying numeric info in text field

I'm trying to display the playheadTime of an FLV movie
(called vid_player) on the stage in a test field (called
myTextField). I used to be able to do this in older actionscript,
but with AS3, I'm having a heck of a time. Here's my code:
function getCurrentTime(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var currentTime:Number = this.vid_player.playheadTime;
this.myTextField = currentTime;
step3Tab.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, getCurrentTime);
I get this error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an
unrelated type flash.text:TextField.

I don't think you've quite been able to do this in previous
versions! The error is telling you exactly what is wrong. You are
trying to change a TextField into a Number and that just won't
work.
I haven't done enough with AS3 to be sure off the top of my
head if it changed or not, but I think you want the text or the
htmlText property of the text field.
this.myTextField.text=currentTime;
or if it doesn't like that you may need to cast or convert
the currentTime to a string;
this.myTextField.text=String(currentTime);
this.myTextField.text=currentTime.toString();

Displaying system time (not timecode)

For the life of me, I can't find any Expressions that deal with displaying the current system time using the source text property.
What's a good way to get "04:53 PM"? (assuming the time is really 4:53PM)
Alternatively, using Dan's universal counting clock, he uses a variable named "clockStart =". What would I use to return the current system time?

I haven't tested this thoroughly, but it should get you close:
D = new Date(Date(0));
h = D.getHours();
m = D.getMinutes();
suffix = h >= 12 ? "PM" : "AM";
if (h > 12) h -= 12;
h = "" + h;
if (h.length < 2) h = "0" + h;
m = "" + m;
if (m.length < 2) m = "0" + m;
h + ":" + m +" " + suffix

Hi Arch,
Go to the following link and check JCalendar API (needs to create a login for downloading JAR)
[JCalendar API @ dev.java.net|https://jcalendar.dev.java.net/]
it is a nice JCalendar with lot of options. Also it is working. You can download the JAR file and use it in ur program.
From this component, you can read out the Date value and then set the text of JTextFiled using this value.
or go for another implementation

Current date & time in text field

I need to auto-fill a text field with four letters plus the current date and current time. The text field should populate when the user clicks a checkbox.
For example, if today is April 25, 2012 and the current time is 10:27 a.m., the text field should read: UNIS0425121027. (The time can be in military time or not - it doesn't matter.)
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Try the following in the initialize event of the text field.
Change the script language to FormCalc.
TextField1.rawValue = Concat("UNIS",Num2Date(Date(),"MMDDYY"),Num2Time(Time(),"HHMM"));
Thanks
Srini

Displaying system time in the stage

I want to use the "put the time" function to display my
system time on the stage. Can someone help?

There are a few more formatting options using straight lingo.
Instead
of using "the time", you can use "the long time" which will
show the
hours, minutes, and seconds. Be careful though, since most of
Director's built in ways of getting the time/date can vary
depending on
the user's Operating System and preferences in the control
panel. For
instance, some may have 24 hour time and some may have AM/PM.
It is
dependent upon the user's OS.
BuddyAPI has a more configurable and controllable method, as
Applied CD
pointed out. That would be the best way probably.

To get the Database date in a select statement use the SYSDATE pseudo in a select statement.
SCOTT@ORCL> SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
SYSDATE
17-OCT-07
SCOTT@EBOS> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS AM') FROM DUAL;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON

Displaying the value of text field A in text field B

I have a PDF form with 2 layers. Layer 1 has information, a textfield, and a button. Layer 2 is a certificate design. The user inputs their name in to a textfield called NameEntry.
When they hit the button, layer 1 disappears -- the instructions and NameEntry box become hidden. Layer 2 is the certificate design and I need a new textfield (which is called NameDisplay) to be populated from inputted information in text field NameEntry.
The simple answer, I know, is to name both text fields the same. This does not work for me as I need the input textfield to be styled differently (background and border) due to decisions out of my control vs the NameDisplay which will have no background and no border.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Use this custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("NameEntry").valueAsString;

How to display 10 times ' linktoaction ' text in view ?

HI,
Experts,
I want to display 10 times " LinktoAction " ui element in a view for that how to write the code and in which method we have to write the code.
thanks in advance,
Shabeer ahmed.

hi,
To display LinkToAction :
One option would be to create 10 LinktoAction UI in the layout. All would have differeent actions available to which you can write the logic as per required.
If you want to dynamically add LinkToAction on a button event or so , then you can use RowRepeater UI and inside this place LinkToAction. On every action of button , add one more LinkToACtion. This would be good if you dont know the number of UI at design time but as you know that you want 10 LinkToAction, create UI and make them invisible by default . When required , make the LinkToAction Visible.
Refer SAP Online help on LinkToAction UI : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/0f/e8884118aa1709e10000000a155106/content.htm

How to display system time zone if user time zone is not set?

Hi,
My application implicitely chooses ALA as time zone if the user time zone is not set.
How do I check this?

Hi,
Try using these FM's
TZON_GET_USER_TIMEZONE
GET_SYSTEM_TIMEZONE
Z_LOCATION_TIMEZONE
You can set the timezone in sy-zonlo by using the 1st FM and setting sy-zonlo in your application.
I think system takes ALA default because its the 1st timezone in the table.(check FM BWDT_LIST_TIMEZONES)

Amit

Can you display info from 2 text fields in 1 other text field in a form?

Im trying to make a form where you enter an address. I want that info to display in another part of the same form as well. When I get to the City and State, I want those to be 2 separate fields where you enter that info. Down below, I would like those to display in the same field with a comma separating. I want to do this mostly because you never know what the length of the city name will be and dont wan the state to be so far away to the right of the city jsut to compensate from possible long city names.
I know how to make it display those field in other parts of the form normally, just not how to double them up. I figured if the form was named "text1, text2" or "text1+test2", that might work but it didnt

Im thinking thats how im going to have to do it, i just want it to show up more like
RICHMOND, VA
instead of
RICHMOND VA
because some cities are way long and im a little crammed for space
