Edit selected text object

Hey guys,
Trying to find a shortcut for 'go to edit mode for the selected text frame' I tried scripting it myself using lines[].select. However you still cannot edit the text immediately after that.
I'd like to have a function that when I select a text frame, I press a key (e.g. F2) and can edit the text contents. Like for example you can edit file names in Windows Explorer.

Doubleclicking the object gives the wanted behaviour however I am looking for a solution that does not involve a mouse.

SAVE_TEXT problem in adding new text identifier to an existing text object

I have an existing text object "ZEANR" which stores 9 long text data with identifiers 1 to 9. I want to add a new long text to that text object with id 10. when I use SAVE_TEXT function (with same parameters as others except the ID is set to "0010"), it throws an exception saying : "0010" text identifier is not defined for Text object "ZEANR". How can we append more long texts to an existing object ? I Have tried to change the insert parameter of the SAVE_TEXT function but it didn't work with both cases. I am getting the exception at perform chech_key --> perform check_id of the SAVE_TEXT function.
if someone knows the answer I will be preciated. thanks in advance.

The text ID specified in the parameter ID or text header (field TDID) should exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there with the text module object.
Go to transaction SE75, select "Text Objects and IDs", Change. Find your text object (ZEANR) in the list and double click. Choose create. Add a new text id (0010) and description. Save.

How to make a script for find text object?

Hi everyone
I want to make a script for find and select text object and then find next, find next, and so on, but without any open dialog
Is that possible make a script for this?
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "(\[\x{2022}\])|(\x{25CF})";
app.findGrep();
thanks
Regard

You already have that. A script does not 'find, select, find next' - it finds all texts as soon as you execute the 'app.findGrep' command.

Create interactive simulation - user selects text

I'm new to Captivate and I hope I'm just overlooking something simple. I'm creating an interactive custom recording (using Word) where I've inserted click boxes for users to click the appropriate buttons. But now I need them to select certain text. Is there a "select text" object for this?
BTW, aside from watching videos, is there a overall tutorial I can reference?
Thanks!
Tara

There is no capability in Captivate for the user to drag across text in a simulation. My suggestion is that you place a click box over the text on the background graphic, tell the user to double-click the text instead of dragging to select it, and then use this action to jump to another slide where the text is shown as selected.

Cant Edit Message Body (outlook 2003 and 2007), Cant select text VIA click (word), Cant Edit Advanced Options (word)

A number of my users are having similar problems across the entire network. These issues have started on 8/26/2014
This problem is not localized to a specific outlook version, the problem is happening on 2003 and 2007 alike. Also this problem is starting to move into MS-Word.
In outlook i am unable to click the message body. If i click the message body nothing happens. I cannot select any text, type, or anything in the message body. I am however able to type in the message body if i press the 'tab key' and navigate to the message
body.
I have wiped out profiles. reset all user settings, changed datafiles etc. Nothing i do seems to affect this problem.
On microsoft word i am unable to edit a number of documents. These documents are readable, editable etc on different computers. There are not any protections on the files. The user who reported this problem is however unable to edit the text even though
others are able to. To correct this problem we have protected and unprotected the file checked permissions all with no luck.
On the same computer i am unable to change any advanced options. When i attempt to click the listing nothing happens. Its acting in the same manner as outlook is described above. However i am unable to select anything using the 'tab' key.
These problems started on a few different computers, but is beggining to spread and affect more users across the network.
This also does not seem to be a group policy issue. We have a number of different user groups on the network, and this problem is not isolated to any specific user, or group, group member etc..
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to lend some assistance to solve this matter.

After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

Even simpler than that.
Clicking once in a text box selects it.
Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

Unable to select 'Art Text' object.

Hi,
Not sure whether this happens only to me. I just added one image (jpg) through Insert -> File options changed it opacity, then I selected the art text tool for adding some text.
But after adding the art text and when I tried to select the text, Instead of selecting the art text, I was only able to select the background jpg.
Can anyone shed some light here?.

Hello,
It would be beneficial for the development team to take a look at the file.
When the text is above the image it should work as expected. When it is behind, the image will be selected. You can always select "blocked" objects with help of the "Objects" Panel on the left.
Thanks,

Illus. CS3 Windows: Im having trouble selecting text when objects are beneath it.

Technically, I CAN select text, its just a pain in the ***. There is a very fine line to click on and I usually end up selecting the obnect that the text is on top of. If someone knows another way to do this I will be most appreciative.
Cheers,

Have you perhaps enabled the Type Object Selection by Path Only option (see Illustrator preferences) ?
If so, disable it.

How to programatically select text for editing in an af:inputText control?

Hello, I am new to jdeveloper 11.1.1.3.0 and have searched and searched for info. I must be using the wrong terms as I cannot find any info or example on how to programatically select text for editing in an inputText field.
My request is to change an existing app so when the user presses a button, control should go to the inputText control (this part works, see existing backing bean code from another developer below) but automatically select the text within for editing by the user (saving the user from having to select the text first before editing).
Backing bean code to set the focus to an inputText field:
* sets the cursor to the given component id
* @param componentId of item on page
public void setFocusOnUIComponent(String componentId) {
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExtendedRenderKitService service =
      Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
    UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
    service.addScript(facesContext,
      "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
} I hope this isn't a dumb question and would appreciate it if someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thank you for any info,
Gary

Hi,
not a dumb question at all. Before answering it, here some comments on the code you pasted in your question
1. UIComponent uiComponent = facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(componentId);
This code line is not used at all in your method. So it seems you can get rid of it
2. "Component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); Component.focus();");
I suggest to change it to
"var component = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('" + componentId + "'); component.focus();");
as it is better coding practice to have variable names starting with a lower case letter and being flagged with the "var" identifier
For pre-selecting text in an an input component, there is no API available in ADF Faces, which means you need to reach out to the rendered HTML ouput. To access the markup for the rendered component, you can try
var markup = AdfRichUIPeer.getDomContentElementForComponent(component)
If this markup returns the HTML input component then you can use JavaScript you find on the Internet to select the area of it. If it does not return the input component then you may have to use
document.getElementById(componentId+'::content')
Note however that working directly with generated HTML output bears the risk that your code breaks when - for whatever reason - the ADF Faces component rendering changes in the future

Can't select text to edit

I have inherited a document and I can't edit the text on one of the pages. I have tried the different layers but can't even select the text.

Excellent.
The text is in a master.
Many thanks.

The selected objects cannot be joined as they are invalid objects,( Compound paths, closed paths, Text Objects, Graphs, Live Paint group). You can use Join command to connect two or more paths, paths in groups; ot to close an open path.

Please assist me asap.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
This sound like a firewall issue. I would start by disabling the firewall and seeing if you can connect. If this works then you know where the problem is,

What controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?

Hi, I have had a student ask me a question I cannot answer: what controls the color of the cursor that selects text when you use the "Edit Document Text" tool?
I have only seen it appear as a black semicircle over each letter, but at a different computer in our training facility, this same tool appears as an aqua-green highlight.
Is it a preference I never noticed? Thanks for any info.

Edit/Replace just in Selected Text?

Is there any way to select a block of text and go an edit/replace operation ONLY in that text, not the entire worksheet?
(Other than doing a prompted one and stopping once one leaves the selected text.)

I don't know how many times I've looked at that dialog box... :)

How to edit Select-option text?

All,
I have a requirement to change 'to' word in select option.
Generally, it displays as...
Material :      _________    to _________
Can we change the word 'to'?
Thanks,
RH

Hi Altaf,
your answer is good but it fails as soon as i reactive the screen so it won't work.
Hi Ronny,
The solution for your requirement is difficult.
but you can try the below code
Selection Text
S_MATNR1        _
S_MATNR2        _
Text symbol
003     HI
004     BYE
Program code
SELECTION-SCREEN : BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 with frame.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT (15) TEXT-003.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr1 FOR mara-matnr NO INTERVALS .
SELECTION-SCREEN COMMENT 52(6) TEXT-004.
SELECTION-SCREEN POSITION 58.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_matnr2 FOR mara-matnr NO INTERVALS .
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF LINE.
SELECTION-SCREEN : END OF BLOCK B1.
then create a range i.e R_matnr
and then pass the value of s_matnr1 and s_matnr into it
