Entering numbers into textfield

Hi,
is there any way of entering numbers into a textfield whereby the user doesn't have to toggel the device inorder to produce said numbers- a bit like a calculator application; any suggestions welcome
James

Sure, it is very easy.
Read about TextField Input Constraints.
They are
ANY
EMAILADDR
NUMERIC
PHONENUMBER
URL
DECIMALYou need NUMERIC or DECIMAL.
You can set them in two way
1. public void setConstraints(int constraints)2. Pass to TextField constructor:
TextField(String label, String text, int maxSize, int constraints)e.g.
TextField myTextField = new TextField("myLabel", "myText", 32, TextField.NUMERIC)Read also about Input Modes. It can be also useful.

Can't figure out why I can't enter letters into TextField from emulator

I have a Midlet comprised of a single form containing one TextField. When I run the Midlet using the standard emulator and hit keys on the number pad, I am limited to entering numbers only and cannot enter letters to form words. I.e. numerous presses of the same key only yields another number.
The TextField's input mode is UCB_BASIC_LATIN and the input constraints is set to ANY.
Platform Type = CLDC/MIDP
Emulator Platform = Java(TM) Platform Micro Edition SDK 3.0
Device = DefaultCldcMsaPhone2
Device Configuration = CLDC-1.1
Device Profile = MIDP-2.0

Numbers into textfield using boolean buttons and case structure?

Hi!
I'm very new to these forums, and to LabVIEW in general. I'm currently trying to implement a calculator-ish, but without the operations (+ - * /).
I have 10 boolean buttons, named 0-9, and with these I want to basically write a sequence of numbers into a textfield. I've managed to solve the problem using an Event structure, but now i'd like to achieve the same result using a Case structure instead. The problem is that I can't identify which button has been pressed, so I can't make the program go to the correct case (0 to 9). Is there any simple solution to this that you guys could help me with? Maybe a property node that's generic for every button? I dont know
Anyways, I'm attaching a simplified version of what I'm trying to achieve, withouh the code I don't know how to write obviously.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Here is a way to do it: bundle the boolean values into an array, turn that into an 8 bit number and wire that to a case structure with a boolean radix

Entering numbers into Access

I am using an update statement to enter a number into an
access databse where the field is set as an interger format. The
syntax used in the update statement is order = '#form.order#',
When this is processed I revieve the following error:
ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in
UPDATE statement.
SQL = "UPDATE tbl_images SET mnname = 'Whitney Looking',
dimensions1 = '5', dimensions2 = '7', dimmeasure = 'Inches',
denomination = '£', price = '42.00', bgcolour = 'DADAFC',
medium = 'Inks', order = 19, framedorunframed = 'Framed', approved
= '0', makeimagelive = '0', subject = 'Animals' WHERE
tbl_images.imageid=2356"
I assume this is caused by the database recieving the number
in a text rather than interger format.
Could someone please let me know how I need to format the
update statement to over come this (or whether this may be casued
by another issue
Thanks
Neil

Dan's point about using a column named "order" is most likely
the culprit. Words like SELECT, WHERE and ORDER are reserved words
in SQL and should be avoided as names for database fields. Try
changing the name of your database field and running the query
again.
Also, I noticed the fields "approved" and "makeimagelive"
seemed to also contain bit or integer values. Try using the same
formatting with those fields as you did with the order field.
In fact, you can replace all of your query values with
<cfqueryparam> and let coldfusion decide which ones will
received surrounding quotes based on the cfsqltype.

I cannot enter numbers in my calculator using the keypad - only using the mouse - anyone know why?

I can't enter numbers into the calculator using the keypad - however I can use the calculator with the kwyboard numbers or the mouse using the nu,mbers on the calculator.

Using a stylus or finger?

No. You have to use the built-in keyboard or a bluetooth connected external keyboard.

Using numberd buttons to enter text into a field

Hi all, was wondering if I had 10 seperate sprites acting as
buttons on a page, which will be numbered 0 -9, is it possible to
use them to enter text into a field. e.g.
If the user presses the sprite with a number 1 on it, would
it be possible to have a 1 displayed in an edit field. I need to
pretend as though im using a remote.
thanks

You can create a behavior that will allow you to set a
variable for each
button. When you assign the behavior to your button sprite,
it'll
prompt you to enter the ButtonNumber property. Haven't tested
this yet,
but something like this should work:
global gNumberEntered
property ButtonNumber
on getPropertyDescriptionList
description = [:]
addprop description, #ButtonNumber, [#comment:"Enter number
to assign
to this button", #format:#integer, #range:[1,10], #default:
1]
return description
end getPropertyDescriptionList
on mouseup
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonOver")
gNumberEntered = ButtonNumber
cursor -1
end
on mouseEnter me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonOver")
cursor 280
end
on mouseDown me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonDown")
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(the currentSpriteNum).member = member("buttonUp")
cursor -1
end

Feeding numbers into an Array

Hi, I want to feed numbers into an array but its only using the first element. In my vi users can enter a number and this number needs to be then stored in an array. Any help would be welcome. Thanks

like this maybe?
Of course you would replace the random number with a control and use an event structure to spin the loop only if the input is changed by the user, for example.

Numeric Keypad does not enter data into Excel

Is there a way to turn on/off the numeric keypad for the imac intel based apple computer when using Microsoft Excel?
I want to enter numeric data into the cells of a spreadsheet in the Excel program, but I can not figure out how to get the numeric keypad to work to do this. It will only work as a directional keypad, moving the active cell left or right, or shoot to the end of the spreadsheet. Consequently I forced to use the use the row of numbers above the keyboard (which is also the row of numbers below the function keys) to enter data.
Strangely, the numeric keypad will enter data with other programs, such as Word or when entering data into an online page.
I have searched Apple help without success.

Make sure that NumLock has not been engaged. To toggle that on and off, press Shift-Clear ("Clear" is the key immediately above the 7 on the keypad).

I want to copy and paste a long list of phone numbers into the 'to' field of messages. Ideas?

I want to copy and paste a long list of phone numbers into the 'to' field of messaging. All it does is become one long number instead. I have even tried commas in between. Any ideas? (They are NOT contacts)

That's not how iMessage was designed to work. It works with your contacts. You start typing a phone number or email address and you'll se a list of hint from auto-complete. After you select a suggestion, start typing another address. If the addresses you want are not in your contacts, you'll need to enter each of them manually.

How to enter numbers in Arabic font in the fields

Hi Everyone,
I installed Adobe Reader 10.0.1 multi-Language and I am able to enter Arabic alphabet in the fields, but when I enter numbers in the fileds, it is English. I don't have this issue in MS-Word. i.e., both letters and numbers depend on my keyboard setting and is English or Arabic respectively. The numbers setting in windows in "depend on context" and I think is fine. Do you know how I can fix this issue? Is there any setting in Adobe that overwrights the Windows setting for numbers?
Thanks a lot

I won't say I am very clear about this topic. But I will give an example, which seems to show that number (in the double type) is logically of the form -000.00 while locale spacific String object can be both of the forms "000.00-" and "-000.00"
// you can show the string below (formatted) on a JLabel with the following
//<JLabel_instance>.setFont(new Font("Lucida Sans", Font.PLAIN, 22));
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("ar","EG"));
//NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getInstance(new java.util.Locale("fr","Fr"));   // compare
DecimalFormat df=null;
DecimalFormatSymbols dfs= null;
if (nf instanceof DecimalFormat) {
      df = (DecimalFormat)nf;
      dfs = df.getDecimalFormatSymbols();
      dfs.setZeroDigit('\u0660');// set the beginning of the range to Arabic digits.. this can be commented out
      df.setDecimalFormatSymbols(dfs);
String formatted = nf.format(-1234567.89);

Can you enter text into "info" pop-up window for TV Shows?

It's not a big deal, but I was just wondering if there is a way (a script perhaps) of entering text into the little "info" pop-up window for TV Shows in iTunes? (You know the one...it pops-up when you click on the little "i" in the description box on the TV Shows main playlist)
The show files I made myself have blank info windows of course and it would be nice to be able to enter a decent length description of the episode (the character limit in the "Description" box is so short).
Like I said, it's not a big deal, but it would be nice to be able to enter info in there...so if anybody knows how...please let me know.
Yhanx a lot!

Thank you very much for your reply! I will definitely pass this along to the IT department! Smiling now!

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

I have wireless keyboard and a new magic mouse. I want to enter data into a Christmas list app on my 3GS iPhone. Too time consuming to just type on iPhone keyboard. How can I get keyboard and mouse to be 'connected' or recognized by my iPhone? I have Bluetooth "on" in my iPhone.

You cannot connect the mouse. This is not a feature of iphone

Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it
Regards,
Shakir

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample
