New lines created in excel when displaying multi-line text item value

Hi all,
I put the value of a multi-line text-item into a csv file :
DECLARE
file_filter VARCHAR2(256) := 'Export Files (*.csv)/*.csv/All Files (*.*)/*.*/';
fExp VARCHAR2(256);
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
fExp := get_file_name ( directory_name, file_name, file_filter, NULL, SAVE_FILE, TRUE);
IF fExp IS NOT NULL
THEN
set_application_property(cursor_style,'BUSY');
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen( fExp, 'W');
linebuf := NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_TRAITE,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.NUM_ANFR_ID,'') || ';' ||
                         NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.ver_fiche,'') || ';' ||
                         NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.titre,'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_creat, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(to_char(:com_bnc_possibles.date_valide, 'dd/mm/yyyy'),'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.LIBEL_STATUT,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.label_reg,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.prenom,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.nom_societe,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.comp_bnc,'') || ';' ||
NVL(:com_bnc_possibles.motifs,'') || ';' ;
Text_IO.Put_Line( in_file, linebuf);
Text_IO.Fclose( in_file);
set_application_property(cursor_style,'DEFAULT');
END IF;
END;
And when I opened the csv file then the remaining lines , that is from the second line , of the column "motifs" are displayed through the column A of excel. The "motifs" multi-line text-item has 500 as its Maximum Length property value, and has a Char Data Type property value.
So how to display all the motifs' lines through the same column M without displaying the remaining lines in column A ?
Or are there tips to remove CHR(13) characters from a multi-line text-item ?
Thank you very much indeed.

Hi,
I tried to do it in different way. What i did is I have created a item of type formattted text and set its text like:--
<html>User authentication failed. <br*> Cause: Invalid password.</html> --remove *
So I am able to see the prompt like :-
User authentication failed.
Cause: Invalid password.
Hope this helps you...

How to disable a single row of a multi-line text item

I am trying to disable a date and a price on each row where the date is current or in the past (on theory the user can't update reference data that is in effect or past, only data which is not yet in use). It appears that forms 6i will make this an all-or-nothing matter, all rows (for a given text item) are enabled or all rows are disabled - no mixing! I am hoping forms is smarter than that, can someone give me knowledge? note: this is not a problem of enabling or disabling at runtime, I have that figured out, only row-specific application of the concept. here is my code:
for c1rec in get_fees loop
:cfee_def_dtl.service_fee := c1rec.service_fee;
:cfee_def_dtl.eff_date := c1rec.eff_date;
go_item('cfee_def_dtl.holdx'); -- inncouous field, not visible to user, but navigable
IF trunc(c1rec.eff_date) <= trunc(sysdate) THEN
set_item_property('cfee_def_dtl.eff_date',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
set_item_property('cfee_def_dtl.service_fee',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
END IF;
next_record;
end loop;

Hi,
move the logic in New-Item-Instance trigger and based on your condition
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY update_allowed as property_false/true.

Unable highllight the text in the multi-line text item in forms11g

Hi,
I using forms11g and I have a foirm which have a multilline field which are not hinghlighting the text when the cursor come there but it works fine in forms6i.
Any solution on this will highly appriciated.

I using forms11g and I have a foirm which have a multilline field which are not hinghlighting the text when the cursor come there but it works fine in forms6i.Check your Forms 6i form. I'll bet you have a Current Record Visual Attribute property assigned and you missed assigning this in Forms 11g. If it is assigned, double-check the Visual Attribute (VA) group exists and/or make sure all the VA attributes are valid for Forms 11g.
Hope this helps,

Multi Row Text Item (Not Text Area)

Is it possible to create a multi-row text item for entering data i.e. a text area WITHOUT a scrollbar?. I know exactly how many rows I need e.g. an address field
The scroll bar looks terrible on printouts when printing off data entry forms.
Also any way of having ruled lines appear in the multi row text field?
regards
Paul

Hello,
No, just use three text items. or a textarea with the style ="overflow:hidden;" should supress the scrollbar

Printing all text in a multi-line text field?? Can it be done?

I was wondering if there is a way to print out a multi-line field and have all text entered print as well. Currently, anytime someone enters more information in a multi-line text field on our form than is set to show without scrolling, when a PDF is created for printing from the results page, only the text that fits within the specified size prints. You can scroll within the PDF and read it all, but I can't seem to figure out how to get all of the text to show and have that field resize accordingly on the printed copy.
Is there a way? Thanks.

Is there an easy way to determine the character count that is visible in a given multi-line text field when designing the form, so if I want to allow 500 characters, the text box I create is large enough for 500 characters? Obviously I can just do a trial and error process using a cut and paste of 500 characters and testing it, but is there an easier way?

How to add multi-line text in comments field of song tags in iTunes 12?

Recently upgraded to iTunes 12 and can no longer enter multi-line text in the comments field of a song tag. Used to use option+return (alt+enter) to go to a new line (carriage return). Can it still be done? Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

Displaying Multi Line Text

Hi,
I am having issues in displaying multi line text on a Text Item. Basically there is data in the database column DetailText which is stored like this with carriage returns :
If I look at the column in Toad it is formatted with all the carriage returns correctly eg.
Hello
World
When I display this in my StaticStyled Item it displays like "Hello World" in one line. I want to be able to display it as it is with the carriage return on 2 seperate lines.
I have looked in this forum and one search 2 places and one suggestion was to use RawText Item type. I have tried changing the Item Type to Raw Text and FormattedText but it doesn't make any difference. The lines are still displayed horizontally instead of vertically. Another place I saw was to use OAHTMLWebBean but doesn't show how I can do this.
This should be simple enough but I have searched the DevGuide and this forum and couldn't figure out the solution. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Set the number of lines allowed in multi-line text field

Hi,
I am designing a form where I have some multi-line text fields where I only want the user to be able to enter a maximum of say 5 lines. I know I could do this by enabling the "Limit Length to Visible Area" option, however, this option is ignored by Reader 7 and the field scrolls, hiding any text that spills beyond the visible area from printouts. It works great in 8 though. To avoid this bug/feature in Reader 7, is there some script that I can use to limit the number of lines allowed in a text field?
Thanks

I ran into similar issues switching between Acrobat/Reader. Here is the prominent code that works for me when I use this in "Enter" event of the textField.
var aSOM=this.somExpression.substr(15,this.somExpression.length - 1);
var acroField = event.target.getField(aSOM);
acroField.doNotScroll = true;
I chose Allow Multiple Lines alone and noting else.
Good Luck,

Can Captivate 5 support multi-line text boxes?

A colleague is trying to add a text box, where the user will need to enter multiple lines... We don't want word wrap, we actually want the user to be able to add carriage returns and additional lines... Is that possible?
If the text box element can't do multiple lines, is there a way to accomplish this using a different canned element? (non-klunky, I've read the 3-year-old thread on this topic.)
Thanks in advance

Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

Multi Line Text Custom Field

Multi line text custom field is not coming in ms project Professional

Pradeep,
You cannot access Multiline text fields from Project Professional and in Project Server Views. These fields are for use in Project Details pages and with workflow for demand management in Project Server. Please refer to the article shared in earlier post.
I would recommend you to create a Excel/SSRS report if you would like to show data available in this fields to end users.
Hope this helps.

Multi-Line Display Item

I need to populate a multi-line display item in Forms 6i.
The problem that I am having is the actual assignment to the display item.
For example:
:DISPLAY_ITEM := '10';
:DISPLAY_ITEM := '11';
This makes the display item show the value '11' only.
I need '10' on the first line and '11' on the second line, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

well, you can write:
go_block('BL_BLK');
first_record;
:display_item:=10;
next_record;
:display_item:=11;
but for this- 1. block should have one navigable item. 2. display_item should not be the first item of the block.
Otherwise you will need to create a non-databse text_item with width 0 on the canvas for that block.
Hope this helps.

Hello All. I am working on a form, but I need to format the leading in a multi-line text-field.

Hello All. I am working on a form, but I need to format the leading in a multi-line text-field. The options for the text-field only show a font size option, but no other styling options. Is there a way to format the leading? Thanks!

Not within ID, and I'm not sure it can be done in Acrobat afterward either.
