ER: Length of the selected text

Hi to all,
It would be nice if JDeveloper showed the length of the selected text on the Status Bar. I think this would be useful because of the 30 characters limitation of the database. Instead of encountering an error after generating the schema, one can watch the length from the status bar and develop faster.
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
The text editor providing this feature is Notepad++ (for Windows) which can be found at [http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm] or [http://portableapps.com/apps/development/notepadpp_portable] addresses. It has lots of such small editing features and this is one of them. I find this feature very useful that's why it would be nice if it would found a place in an intuitive developer tool such as JDeveloper.
Actually, I did not thought it particularly for SQL Worksheet but why not?
I did not write an extension for JDeveloper before that is why I did not propose it as an extension. I will consider this option too if I could find time if you think it is feasible then.
Thank you for your time and interest.
Best regards
Caglar

How do I change the selected text of a combobox on the fly?

Hi all,
I am trying to make a combobox, that is sort of a "recently used" connection box. So you can type in a computer name, hit connect and it then connects. When you disconnect, it adds the computer name, and the logged in username to the combobox,
so when you click on the drop down, you get selections for example : "COMPUTER1 - johnsmith"
Which is cool, but what I want, is to be able to click on the selection, and it only puts the computer name in the TextBox - i.e. "COMPUTER1"
So I have done a bit of research, and tried making a hashtable, and using the DisplayMember and ValueMember properties, so i can at least have a combobox selection like "COMPUTER1 (johnsmith)". I have tried many different pages and suggestions,
but the furtherest I have got is to only have one or the other value display, or it displays as System.Collection...... (can't remember the rest).
So my next attempt, is using an event handler for the combobox to change the text, so that once "COMPUTER1 - johnsmith" is selected from the combobox, it puts "COMPUTER1" as the selected text.
I have tried the following using the SelectedIndexChanged handler. Here is a snippet of my code relating to the ComboBox:
# PC Connection Input Box$global:pcInputBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
$global:pcInputBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(70,50)
$global:pcInputBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(210,20)
$global:pcInputBox_SelectedIndexChanged = {
if (($global:pcInputBox.Text -ne $null) -and ($global:pcInputBox.Text -ne "")){
$selection = $global:pcInputBox.Text
addLog("Selection is $selection")
$global:trimSelection = $selection.substring(0,$selection.indexof("-"))
addLog("TrimSelection is $global:trimSelection")
$global:pcInputBox.SelectedItem = $global:trimSelection
addLog("SelectedText is $global:pcInputBox.SelectedItem")
$global:pcInputBox.add_GotFocus({
$Form.AcceptButton = $pcButton
$global:pcInputBox.add_SelectedIndexChanged($global:pcInputBox_SelectedIndexChanged)
$Form.Controls.Add($global:pcInputBox)
I have also tried setting the $global:pcInputBox.Text but the result is that nothing changes. Its as though I can't change that ComboBox from its own event?? If I try setting $global:pcInputBox.Text from another function, it will do it fine.
Can anyone please recommend how I would get this achieved?
Thanks in advance

Use objects:
$o=@()
$o+=New-Object PsObject -Property @{Computer='COMP1';User='USER01'}
$o+=New-Object PsObject -Property @{Computer='COMP2';User='USER02'}
$o+=New-Object PsObject -Property @{Computer='COMP3';User='USER03'}
$combobox1.DataSource=[collections.arraylist]($o|select Computer,User, @{N='DisplayName';E={"$($_.Computer)-$($_.User)"}})
$combobox1.DisplayMember='DisplayName'
This can also be loaded from a CSV or from AD or almost anywhere else;
Here is another trivial example:
$o=@()
$o+=New-Object PsObject -Property @{Computer='COMP1';User='USER01'}
$o+=New-Object PsObject -Property @{Computer='COMP2';User='USER02'}
$o+=New-Object PsObject -Property @{Computer='COMP3';User='USER03'}
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$form=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.StartPosition='CenterScreen'
$combobox1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
$combobox1.Location='70,50'
$combobox1.Size='210,20'
$combobox1.DataSource=[collections.arraylist]($o|select Computer,User, @{N='DisplayName';E={"$($_.Computer)-$($_.User)"}})
$combobox1.DisplayMember='DisplayName'
$combobox1.add_SelectedIndexChanged({[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($combobox1.SelectedItem.Computer)})
$form.Controls.Add($combobox1)
$form.ShowDialog()
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How to search for the selected text with a non-default search engine?

Hi,
Before the recent update of the search bar, you could select your "current" search engine, and a search for the selected text (right-click on selection) would use that engine.
Now, it seems that you can only search for the selected text using the default engine. If that's correct, this is a major step backwards for me. For instance, I can't have Google as my default search engine, and search for a selected text on eBay!
Or am I missing something?
Thanks!
R.

I find this extension very useful for items selected on web pages. It offers all your search engines with select>right click.

Changed the color of the selected text

I changed the color of the selected text in Photoshop CS6, from black (background) & white (text) to different colors. I want to know how I did it.

Selecting tends to invert the text. Use Ctrl/Cmd h while in Text edit mode to hide the selection.

How to set the desired font to the selected text in textframe?

Hi,
I want to change the font(let's say Times New Roman) of selected text in textframe when I click on menu-item of my plug-in.
I went through the Adobe Text Engine documentation and tried some code for setting font but failed. I don't see any member function in IFont class to set desired font, so unable to move forward.
plz see the code. I would like to know one more thing that how can we set a particular font for a textframe?
TextRangesRef rangesRef = NULL;
result = sAIDocument->GetTextSelection(&rangesRef);
aisdk::check_ai_error(result);
ITextRanges ranges(rangesRef);
if (ranges.GetSize() > 0)
     ITextRange range = ranges.Item(0);
     ICharFeatures features = range.GetUniqueLocalCharFeatures();
     IFont font;                     // I don't see any method to put desired font.
   // features.SetFont();
Thanks.
D.A

First, get the font:
AIFontKey fontKey = 0;
AIErr error = sAIFont->FindFont("Times New Roman Regular", kAIAnyFontTechnology, kNativeAIScript, 0, &fontKey);
// do something with error
ATE::FontRef fontRef = 0;
error = sAIFont->FontFromFontKey(fontKey, &fontRef);
// do something with error
ATE::IFont font(fontRef);
Then, apply it like this:
ATE::TextRangeRef textRangeRef = 0;
AIErr error = sAITextFrame->GetATETextRange(handle_to_artwork, &textRangeRef);
// check error
ATE::ITextRange textRange(textRangeRef);
ATE::ICharFeatures charFeatures = textRange.GetUniqueLocalCharFeatures();
charFeatures.SetFont(font);
textRange.ReplaceOrAddLocalCharFeatures(charFeatures);
There are a few other ways to set the text, but you need to understand how character & paragraph styles interact with each other to understand the differneces. This is the most straight forward way to do it though.

How to mofidy the selection text for a report

Dears,
Do you know how to modify a selection text in the selection screen of a standard report, such as changing "Storage Location" in the selection screen of report MB5B to "storage Loc"?
one of a way to realize it is to modify the text of relevant data element.
except modifying the data element directly, It seems that use SE63 could do it, but I forgot how to use it.
Thanks all for your reply.

Renaming the Selection Text of LDB PCH

Hi -
Can anyone suggest a way to Rename the Standard Selection Screen Variable Name ( Selection Text in a Standard Selection Screen ) of a LDB ( PCH )to a custom one ?
Eg. There is a need to change the Object ID ( PCHOBJID - Selection Text ) to " Org. Unit " .
Thanks,
Mullai

Hi,
You can do that, suppress that field whatever you are getting from the standard LDB and define a selection field in your custom program witht he same name and use your own selection text and check,
This should work for you.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Dynamically Changing the Name and length of the Selection Screen Fileld

Dear Friends,
I want to incorporate a filtering option in my program,when the user selects the
column of a table control and clicks on filter option it has to open up a
new selection screen in which the selection option would be the selected
column.
for e-g if the user selects material the selection option would have the
characteristics of mara-matnr.
answers will be rewarded.
Thx.

DON'T copy the selected text automatically!!!

version: 11.1.1.7
OS: Linux
In jdev code editor, when you select "something1", click Ctrl+C, then select "somehting2", click Ctrl + P. You will find nothing happens.
This is because when you select "something2", the clipboard is replaced with "something2".
When you select something, the editor copy it automatically. Not sure if user can disable this behavior.
Really bad feature, no editor behaves like this.

Leon,
It is not JDev issue, it is a feature in Linux.
You may post this question in Linux forums or give a try to the solution in [this link|http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Auto_copy_the_mouse_selection], haven't tried though.

I cannot resize the selected text and the object in Illustrator

I am unable to resize the text and the object with transform tool. It resizes but half of it does not. and not that much i want.

Ok so if i write some text and all the words are of different sizes and i have to resize it using the transform tool, i cannot resize it unto the size i want. e.g.. i wrote this text "The Big Bold Sale" all the words are of different sizes and are grouped together, so when i resize it using transform tool all these words are resized differently "The big" becomes big, "bold" becomes little smaller and "sale" is not resized.. the image is attached.

Selection Texts

How Do Everyone!
This may sound like an easy question but does anyone
know how to increase the length of the 'Selection Text'
within the Text elements. It is currently set to 30
characters and I can't see where I would increase
the size.
Cheers
Andy

HI Andy
Length of Selection Texts is restricted. You can use text element for that.
Text Element: TEXT-O01
Selection Text: p_field
selection-screen begin of line.
parameters: p_field.
selection-screen comment (50) text-o01 for field p_field.
selection-screen end of line.
Am not on SAP system now, please try to explore on the same to suit your requirement.
Kind Regards
