Display Unicode Chars in text box

This seems like it should be simple enough, but apparently, I am dense...
I want to display a Unicode char in a text box based on its hex code input. For instance, given x2190, I want to display a Left Arrow in a text box (x2190 is the code for left arrow). I tried Flatten To String function then wiring the string to a text box with Force Unicode set, but that doesnt work.
Or is there a simpler way to get non-ascii chars like arrows and such to display? Next stop is little bmps in a picture ring...ack
TIA

How to include unicode chars in text boxes?

Hi,
We need the unicode chars (for example: Chinese, Korean, etc...) to appear in the generated .pdf and .pcl files from the Adobe Output designer's IFD file.
These chars are static and will not change, so we shall not be fetching them from FNF file (.dat).
While trying to copy-paste directly into text box field, we are getting an error prompting for converting them to some other character set.
We couldn't paste them exactly with the text how they should appear in the text boxes.
Please tell us if there is a way to achieve this.
Thanks and regards,

Double check that all of the selected presentation targets and the font being used for the particular text box supports the characters you are trying to paste into it. For example, the PDF target only has 11 fonts available unless you use the other tabs to "create new soft font cartidges". If you have the appropriate fonts installed on you PC you should be able to use this capability to make the font available for each of your presentation targets. (At least that is my impression - I've never needed to try it.)

Need to read text file content and have to display it in multiline text box

dear all,
Need to read text file content and have to display it in multiline text box.
actually im new to file handling. i have tried up to get_line and put_line.
in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN ('D:\SAMPLE.txt', 'r');
TEXT_IO.GET_LINE (in_file,linebuf);
i dont know how to assign this get_line function to text item
pls help me in this regards,

Simply write:
in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN ('D:\SAMPLE.txt', 'r');
TEXT_IO.GET_LINE (in_file,linebuf);
:block2.t1 := chr(10)||:block2.t1||chr(10)||linebuf;
chr(10) --> is for new line character

Fetching data from a table and displaying it on the text box

Hi,
I have created a dialog program in which created a container(text box) to enter data upto 1000 characters.
Iam capturing the data and storing it in a custom table. In PBO I want to fetch data from my custom table (if data is already present :1000 characters data) and display it on screen.
Please let me know how do i do it?

hii Pavani,
declare this two sttements in Screen
MODULE STATUS_DATA.
MODULE SELECT_DATA.
In PBO, Under SELECT_DATA write Select query like:
(considering the DB field to be text and Screen Field to be SC_TEXT)
select text from <DB Table> into SC_TEXT where <condition>.
*note if u r selecting more than one field than write fields in ( ),eg. (f1....f2) )
Plz let me know for any further queries.

Displaying unicode chars in title of jdialog

hello, I am developing application that has several dialogs. For each of these dialogs, I would like to display unicode characters in the title. Can some one please help me out and direct me on what I should to do make this work? All other controls on these dialogs can display i18n text fine, except the dialogs' title and I just can't figure this out. Please help. Thanks in advance.

The latest J2RE 1.4.2_03 can display Unicode characters that are not necessarily supported by your host's ANSI character set. Set the font of the frame appropriately, and give it a try with a newer VM.

Running app doesn't display unicode chars

So far, i didn't care about character encodings. When i setup a string in java i just used my special characters, like e.g. the german umlauts:
String text = "�usserlich �berhaupt nicht sch�n."; //html: Äusserlich überhaupt nicht schön Then i changed the file encoding in my IDE (eclipse) to UTF-8. The first time i reloaded my source files, i had to replace my texts by retyping my special charaters in the source. I thought that would have been enough.
But now, such text doesn't display anymore in a Swing component like a JTextField - instead the special characters are replaced by weird (sometimes multiple) other characters.
The only workaround i've found so far is, to replace all special characters in my source code with the corresp�onding unicode code character "\uxxxx" (backslash + u + 4 chars). But then this would be a step back writing text in the source code. I thought it would be easier to use Unicode ...?

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.

How do I fill and show/hide a series of text boxes based on checkboxes?

I have a series of checkboxes on a form (each of which requires some additional information to be entered) and a series of text boxes further down the page to house any necessary detailed information.
I have hidden the detail fields and coded the form so that for each of these checkboxes that is checked a row of detail text boxes appears with the checkbox title in the activiy type field, and if a checkbox is subsequently un-checked the last row of detail text boxes is hidden.
The problem with this is that if the user unchecks any box other than the most recently checked one the data for the option they just unchecked still shows, but the data for the last option they selected does not.
Does anyone have a solution that would make sure the detail fields for the boxes that are checked is displayed in the detail text boxes that are showing when a checkbox is unchecked, regardless of the order in which the boxes are checked/unchecked?
This is what my form looks like, with the example where Cash Withdrawals is unchecked but appears in the detail and Remote Deposit Capture is checked but was hidden with the last line:
The detail groups are named Act1.child, Act2.child, etc. where the description field (filled in the example above) is Act1.type, Act2.type, etc.
Here is the script I'm using on the checkboxes to achieve what I'm getting now:
var useSet = this.getField("Set").value;
var clrSet = this.getField("Clr").value;
var useType = useSet + ".type";
var clrType = clrSet + ".type";
if (this.getField("CheckboxName").value != "Off") {
    this.getField(useType).value = "Check Box Desription";
    this.getField(useSet).display = display.visible;
else if (this.getField("CheckboxName").value == "Off") {
    this.getField(clrType).value = "";
    this.getField(clrSet).display = display.hidden;
and here is the script for the hidden boxes that determine what sets are filled and what sets are cleared and hidden:
Custom Calculation Script for "Set":
var sOne = this.getField("Act1.type").value.length;
var sTwo = this.getField("Act2.type").value.length;
var sThr = this.getField("Act3.type").value.length;
var sFour = this.getField("Act4.type").value.length;
var sFive = this.getField("Act5.type").value.length;
var sSix = this.getField("Act6.type").value.length;
var sSev = this.getField("Act7.type").value.length;
if (sOne == 0) {event.value = "Act1"}
else if (sTwo == 0) {event.value = "Act2"}
else if (sThr == 0) {event.value = "Act3"}
else if (sFour == 0) {event.value = "Act4"}
else if (sFive == 0) {event.value = "Act5"}
else if (sSix == 0) {event.value = "Act6"}
else {event.value = "Act7"}
Custom Calculation Value for "Clr":
var cOne = this.getField("Act1.type").value.length;
var cTwo = this.getField("Act2.type").value.length;
var cThr = this.getField("Act3.type").value.length;
var cFour = this.getField("Act4.type").value.length;
var cFive = this.getField("Act5.type").value.length;
var cSix = this.getField("Act6.type").value.length;
var cSev = this.getField("Act7.type").value.length;
if (cSev != 0) {event.value = "Act7"}
else if (cSix != 0) {event.value = "Act6"}
else if (cFive != 0) {event.value = "Act5"}
else if (cFour != 0) {event.value = "Act4"}
else if (cThr != 0) {event.value = "Act3"}
else if (cTwo != 0) {event.value = "Act2"}
else {event.value = "Act1"}

Hi Andi,
Please consider the following “solution” too.
Preliminaries
An indicator can be considered a variable in JavaScript.
If P is an indicator, m(P) refers to the value of the indicator.
Data for Control
There are four checkboxes: C0, C1, C2 and C3.
There is an indicator for each checkbox: CP0, CP1, CP2 and CP3.
If checkbox Ci is checked then checkbox indicator CPi has the value i+1; in other words, m(CPn) = i+1. If checkbox Ci is not checked then checkbox indicator CPi has the value 0; in other words, m(CPn) = 0.
There are four sets of detail fields: A0, A1, A2 and A3.
There is a detail fields indicator for each detail fields: AP0, AP1, AP2 and AP3. If detail fields Ak have the details for the checked checkbox Ci then APk has the value i+1; in other words, m(APk) = i+1. If detail fields Ak do not have any details for any of the checked or unchecked checkbox then APk has the value 0; in other words, m(APk) = 0.
The sets of detail fields are organized in sequence. The “top” or “first” set is AP0. It is followed by AP1. Then followed by AP2. The “bottom” or “last” set is AP3.
Consider an example with one checkbox selected. In this case m(CP2) = 3; m(AP0) = 3; m(CPi) = 0 for i=0, 1, 3; and m(APk) = 0 for k=0, 1, 3. See the following diagram too (see Figure 1).
Events, Processes and Additional Data for Control
Computation begins when a user event is captured by the system (such as a mouse up event in an AcroForm field like a button or a checkbox).
Checking Process
If a checkbox is checked (TNj), it is noted with an indicator (P0).
Shift Process
Given a noted checkbox, the search for a candidate set of detail fields to use for the noted checkbox begins.
The first candidate is the bottom of the sequence. This is also the current candidate, k. Thus k=3.
The current candidate is remembered by marking (TSk,j) the detail fields indicator (APk).
If k=0 then the shift process ends and the current candidate is the candidate.
If k > 0 and m(APk-1) = 0, the current candidate becomes APk-1 and step 8c is repeated.
If k > 0 and m(APk-1) != 0, then the shift process ends and the current candidate is the candidate.
Unchecking Process
If m(CPi) != 0 and m(CPi) = m(APk), then the checkbox can be unchecked (TRk,i).
Shift Process
If m(APk)=0 and m(APk+1) > 0 then shift (TSk,m(APk+1)). At the end of this shift, m(APk) > 0 and m(APk+1) = 0. Let k = k + 1.
If m(APk+1)>0 then repeat 9a. If m(APk+1)=0 then the shifting process ends.
Last Events and Proceses
Details fields can be initialized (TIk,j) and displayed (TDk,j) or cleared (TCk,j) and hidden (THk,j). These actions depend only on m(APk). However it would be a good idea to trigger these functions right after a shift process ends and on affected details fields.

Figure 1 is a process model of the checkbox process with one checked checkbox.

Trouble with Unicode Chars

Hi all,
I am having trouble displaying Unicode chars both in an Applet and in the command prompt window. I am using awt. The characters I want to display are: \u2228, \u2283, \u2261. These characters display correctly from AppletViewer when I add them to ChoiceBoxes, they display correctly in some browsers (isn't Unicode fairly universal by now? Do most browsers support it?), but not correctly when I try to put them into a TextField, using this simple code:
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
if(e.getKeyChar() == '/') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2228');
if(e.getKeyChar() == '.') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2283');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
if(e.getKeyChar() == ',') {
e.setKeyChar('\u2261');
System.out.println(e.getKeyChar());
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Er, forgot to mention, the chars display as either a
black bar, sort of a square, This happens when there is no suitable font for the codepoint, and the system doesn't know how to convert a codepoint to another codepoint for which there is a suitable font. The latter mechanism allow to use non-unicode fonts with unicode chars.
a question mark, That's possibly another issue. '?' usually appears while
converting chara�ter into bytes, specifically if an encoding doesn't have an appropriate rule for a particular character.
For example, the "Cp1251" encoding knows nothing of Greek characters, and so converts them into ?'s.
Such conversion may occur when a java string is passed
into a native window system, because such systems often are non-unicode.
and an equal signCompletely illegal behaviour, usually occurs in very old JVM's.
Note that Swing is always correct with unicode.
A relevant documentation is here:

How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying? I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill. It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear. And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.

Limiting the Chars in Text Area

Hi,
I am using a TextArea where its property "maxChars" is being set to 250.
It is working fine if we are entering the 250 chars.
But if we have typed more than 250 chars in an editor and than copy-paste those chars, the text box is accepting those chars even if they are more than 250 also.
How to restrict this ? Is there any other property like "maximum" in text area to control this ?

Try applying a check on changing event of TextArea. Check for your maxChars and accrodingly show your message.

Displaying the result of a calculation in a dynamic text box

Hi folks,
I'm having a very minor issue here (operator error, I'm sure ). With the help of some folks here, I've created a series of calculations, and I've got that part down. Now, I just need it to show up in the movie.
I've created the dynamic text box in Flash (CS3), but when I hit test, it won't show up.
After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.
Here's my code:
stop();
var startDate:Date = new Date(2010,0,12); // use your startyear, startmonth, startdate in the new Date() parameters.
var currentDate:Date = new Date(); // assuming user's clock is correct and in your timezone. else use server date/time.
var numberOfSeconds:Number = (currentDate.getTime()-startDate.getTime())/1000;
var interest:Number = (numberOfSeconds*0.74356);
var totalmoney:Number = (interest+15,000,000);
function displaytotal(evt:TextEvent):void {
total.text = "totalmoney";
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Napo

You didn't have to bury any of the calculations in the function--leaving it as you had it is better. They could remain where they a=werew, and you'll probably find you want them outside it if you have other plans for using them. If left inside, they only have scope inside. In the programming world, it's good to think of functions as things that do one thing and one thing only (though it isn't often practiced that way)--it's called modular design.
When you place an event as an argument for a function, it typically means that there is an event listener that initiates the call to the function. If you work with buttons you'll see what I mean. But if the plan is to create your own call to a function when you desire it as such, not have it driven by an event listener, then you don't need to pass any event to it, though you may pass some other type of variable to it if need be.
For instance, what you have now will call the function without an argument because the function has the value built into its code....
displaytotal();
But you could also make the function a little more generic and set it up to recieve the value instead as an argument...
function displaytotal(amt:Number):void {
total.text = String(amt); // an earlier error of mine
displaytotal(totalmoney);
That would make your function a little more useful. Now it could be used to display other Number variables as well.
// my earlier error was that a textfield displays text, so you need to convert the Number value to s String.
Hope I'm not confusing you.

Hebrew fonts from drop-down box not displaying in text box.

I am using InDesign CS 5.5 on a Mac 10.8.4.
When in ID, the fonts I am seeing on the Font dropdown menu when I try to use in a text box are not displaying correctly. They only display as boxes. The fonts are in the Hebrew language. They are properly installed in the FontBook.
Please help!! Thank you.

Reema,
I followed most of your steps. I have a question reg. step 3 ie populating data in node 1.

end of zstruct,
zitab type table of zs.
handle1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE1' ).
*select ktokd into corresponding fields of zstruct from kna1.
*append zstruct to zitab.
*endselect.

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.
