Fields within text fields

Hello
Is there a way to have fillable fields within a body of text so that it looks like it is all one paragraph. Something that would look like this
"This is a paragraph, please fill this part in ______________________, and then hit enter"
Where the line is a text or number field? When I did it by inserting a field to the left or below the formated text it gives me spaces before and after or below that make it look like separate text, and I want it all to look like one continuous paragraph.
On a similar note: can you make a multiline text field so that the second line wraps underneath the field defenition?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Fields within text fields as you described is not supported in FormsCentral.
>>>On a similar note: can you make a multiline text field so that the second line wraps underneath the field defenition?
Do you mean, field definition as the text caption for the multiline text field?, if so, then no. There will be always a space between the field caption and the input box.
If you are referring when users are filling the multiline text field, then, the second input-line should be wrapping when when it reaches the right edge of the input box.

Simple formCalc script to set ALLtext fields = 1 text field

I want to add a button that will calculate all text fields in the form = 1 individual text field. I cancalculate 1 txt field = another text field, but don't know how to set multiple text fields = 1 text field. Ex: AutoFill button.
Thanks!
-JoeF

Thank you for your reply...I got the answer a bit differently as I wanted to use a button to AUTOFILL. Here's what I did:
topmostSubform.Page1.OC.Button2::mouseUp - (FormCalc, client)
File_Name[1]=File_Name
File_Name[2]=File_Name
File_Name[3]=File_Name
File_Name[4]=File_Name
File_Name[5]=File_Name
File_Name[6]=File_Name

Tabbing from Text Field to Text Field in Bin

When entering text in a bin (for example, renaming a subclip), how can I tab from text field to text field (for example, if I ‘d like to add something to the comment column after renaming the subclip) without having to resort to my mouse? In other words, what is the keyboard shortcut?
Martin
¿why ask why?

Well, OK, that's interesting, Nick, but it seems to add steps rather than remove them and I still need to jump to my mouse. As best I can tell, CMD+9 always takes me to the Format tab. It appears I can't tab over to the Logging tab; I have to use my mouse.
Then I have 37 fields (yep, I counted 'em) to wade through looking for the one I want to change. My custom bin setting only has the fields I care about. It would be easier to use my mouse to click on the field I want to edit without leaving my bin for the Properties window.
I was just hoping there was a keyboard method.

How to word wrap within text field

I've created a form with a text field but when filling the form out, the words don't word wrap, but merely go in a single line across the text box field.
When can I format the text box to word wrap?

I have set my text fields to multi line and the text wraps but it only starts about halfway down the text box. Please help, this is getting frustrating...

Problem regarding writing javascript code within text field

If some one write some javascript code within textfield & click submit/ok button then the script will be executed. It will create a dengerous problem.
Suppose someone write a script within Test Box like
<script language='javascript'>
var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
fso.DeleteFile('d:test.txt',true);
</script>
it will delete file from local drive of client machine.
Can you help me How to solve the above problem? ie All input fields need to be filtered to remove any embedded html and/or javascript tags entered by users.
Thanking you
Biplab

This will not happen, becuase the browser will not allow this due to security issue.

Concatenate interface fields to Text Field in interactive forms

Hi experts.
I'm looking for solution.
I created adobe interactive form displaying in ABAP WebDynpro, using ZCI layout
I want to display sample text like: Hello mr. John today is monday. - John and monday are variables from interface.
But I have problem with this. Its possible concatenate string values binding to one UI element?
I was tried initialize script (FormCalc, JavaScript) for TextField bud, it don' t work. something was bad.
For example I have defined Global field in form interface and concatenate value in initialize runtime, it works for ABAP callings from front-end.
But when I show form from WebDynpro initialize runtime does not call from framework.
Can some body help me.
Or write same sample, thank you !!!!!!!

Hello Peter,
use a single TextField and concatenate the string before putting it into the context. FormCalc or JavaScript won't be needed then.
A good way to determine where the problem resides is to create an addition WD based
TextView and display the same data there. If it shows up with data there and with no
data in the form, then the problem resides in the form rather than in the WD context.

Thomas

Assign a value to a table-field within a field symbol

Hi gurus,
probably a small question but I don't get it :-(.
To explain my problem I give you a simplyfied example:
I want to fill a workarea of a table in a dynamic way that is defined as followed:
The TABLE1: has 3 fields:
FIELD1
FIELD2
FIELD3
data: i type i,
        c type c,
        fieldname type text30,
        workarea type table1.
field symbol: <f1> type text30.
while i le 3.
move i to c.
    concatenate 'workarea-FIELD' c into fieldname.   "ex. fieldname = 'workarea-FIELD1'
    assign (fieldname) to <f1>.                                  " <f1> = workarea-FIELD1.
Now I want to fill this <f1> with a value
in a way like (<f1>) = '12345MyValue'.
In the end I want a dynamic assignment of
workarea-FIELD1 = '12345MyValue'.
workarea-FIELD2 = '12345MyValue'.
workarea-FIELD3 = '12345MyValue'.
endwhile.
Any hint is appreciated :-).
Regards,
Stefan

Hi *,
I got the solution by my self...it's so easy I am already ashamed I posted my question... but there are days in live of a programmer...
assign (fieldname) to <f1>.                       " <f1> = workarea-FIELD1.
<f1> = '12345MyValue'.
modify table from workarea.
Have fun.

Creating an expandable text field without a scrollbar

Hi All! Hope someone can help.
I need to create a flowable subform that will allow text fields to expand without a scrollbar. I have been researching the forums and have found this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2372965
When modifying the template above for practice, The fields expand correctly but when i make one from scratch it doesnt work at all!
Here are the steps I have followed in creating a expandable text field from scratch:
1. Open Adobe Lifecycle Designer and open a plain blank form
2. Take a "text field" from the object library and place it on the form
3. I noticed there is already a blue border (subform) for this document by default for the new form so I changed the content from "position" to "flowed", flow direction from "top to bottom" and checked "allow page breaks". Also changed the layout for y: autofit
4. I then right clicked on the text fields orange border and clicked "wrap in subform". I changed the content from "position" to "flowed", flow direction from "top to bottom" and checked "allow page breaks". Also changed the layout for y: autofit
5. Finally for the text field itself I made sure that "allow multiple linkes" and "allow page breaks within content" was checked. Also changed the layout for y: expand to fit
I still cant get it work am I missing something? Ive been twirking around with this for hours and this forum wont let me upload my example. Any help would be great!

Hi,
You need to save the form as dynamic pdf form i.e xdp and on exit of the text field only text field will be expanded.
But make sure the main form should be flowed and page breaks should be allowed.Textfield should have the allow multiple lines option ,allow page breaks,and auto expand height(Y axis) should be checked.

Setting the colour red for an input field or a text-field in a table

Hy,
I am using an input-field or text-field within a table-cell. For some rows in the table the text in the input-field / text-field should be red. How can I do this ?
Florian Hroch

Create a new attribute "TextColor" of type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.TextViewSemanticColor" (local DDIC types), under the table's data source node.
Bind the "TextView.semanticColor" property of the table cell editor to this attribute.
If you cannot add new attributes under the data source node (this is the case if there is a structure binding), add a value node "TableProperties" (cardinality 1:1, selection 1:1) under the data source node and add the attribute there.
Then you can control the color of the TextView in table row at index i by setting the "TextColor" value for node element at index i.
For an input field, you cannot set the text color, a workaround might be adding an icon in an extra column.

AS2 text field hyperlink

If I have a dynamic text field in Flash and I'm using AS2 how
can I create a hyperlink within that text field?
Here's an example of a text field:
"Action Script 2 sticks and I wish I this site hadn't been
designed with AS2. There are so many LINKS to tutorials for AS3 on
how to make hyperlinks within text fields, but none on Action stink
Script 2."
The hyperlink would be where it says LINKS and could be to
Adobe.com.

Is the asfunction code the same for AS2 and AS3? If not then
I need more info because every asfunction tutorial I've seen on the
web thus far is for AS3.

How can I validate numeric values in a text field?

Hi
Once more I have a problem.
I have a field in which the user should enter 10 digits in the pattern 999999-9999. The field must only contain numeric data and must be exactly 10 characters. I have a validation script on the print button, that prevent printing if required fields are empty or not properly filled out.
I have tried two ways to work this out, and I'm not satisfied with any of them, as I can still print despite of validation scripts and warning messages.
1.
I set the field to numeric, limited to 11 characters.
Display pattern num{999999-9999}, edit pattern num{999999-9999} and validation pattern num{999999-9999}
Problems using this solution: When I type 11 digits in the field (ex.12345612345) I get a warning message and 12.345.612.
But when I type 9 digts (ex. 123456-123 or 123456123) I get no warning message and 000000-0000 or 012345-6123
If I type alphabetical characters (ex. 123456-abcd) I get no warning message and 000000-0000.
2.
I set the field to text field, limited to 11 characters.
Display pattern text{999999-9999}, edit pattern text{999999-9999} and validation pattern text{999999-9999}
Now when I type 11 digits in the field (ex.12345612345) I get no warning message and 12345612345.
When I type 9 digts (ex. 123456-123) I get no warning message and 123456-123
When I type 9 digts (ex. 123456123) I get a warning message and 123456123
If I type alphabetical characters (ex. 123456-abcd) I get a warning message and 123456-abcd.
It works slightly better as a text field, but I am not satisfied at all.
Has anyone a solution to this?
Additional I would also like the hyphen to emerge automatically when typing.

I just want to summarize my experience.
I found a related discussion here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2513720#2513720.

if
(this.rawValue != null || this.rawValue != ''){ // only if the field has a value...
     if (!this.rawValue.match(myRegex)){ // and it doesnt match the pattern (i.e. 2 digits)
     this.rawValue
= ''; // clear the field
     xfa.host.setFocus(
this); // set focus back to the field

Hi,
If we want to populate vendor code and vendor name in text field of each payment line item while executing Automatic Payment Program, is it possible?
What configuration changes needs to be done?
I have tried the Substitution at the Complete Document Level but the system is not updating the doc.

Hi
transaction GGb1
New entries - Company code, Line item, Enter a Name
Environment - Substitution - Create yes
Select your substitution name - Select create step on top
Select 'Field assignment' - Text field
Prerequisite - Transaction code = Constant "F110"
Substitution - Text = LIFNR
Activation of subtitution is done in making the Acctivation = 1 and Call up point = 2.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 - Add days to Current Date in another text field

Hi-
I am working on an expense report. I have six fields, CurrentDate, and countDate1 through countDate5. The CurrentDate is a Time/Date field which the user can select whatever date is needed with the drop down calendar. The other five countDate fields are "text" fields which will represent Monday through Friday. I would like to add zero days to whatever the user selects as the CurrentDate and make that appear in countDate1 which represents Monday(the CurrentDate the user selects will always be a Monday), add one day to whatever the user selects as the CurrentDate and make that appear in countDate2 which represents Tuesday...and so on. I realize this is probably basic for someone familiar with FormCalc but I'm very new at this.
This got me very close but I want the user to select the date and not have the CurrentDate already filled in.
CurrentDate - DateTime field, FormCalc calculation script:
num2date(Date())
Date1 - Text field, FormCalc calculation script:
Num2Date( Date2Num(CurrentDate.formattedValue))
Date2 - Text field, FormCalc calculation script:
Num2Date( Date2Num(CurrentDate.formattedValue) + 1 )
Thanks!
Brian

Here is an exmaple of adding days the script is used in the "exit" event for the date select field that has display format of "MM/DD/YYYY". Adding days requires add x number of days to the days since the epoch date for the current date, adding months or years one needs to manipulate the string parts of the date.
----- form1.#subform[0].InputDateField::exit: - (FormCalc, client) ---------------------------------
// fomatted string for selected date
var sFmtDateValue = $.formattedValue
var sMsg = Concat("Entered date formatted: ", sFmtDateValue) // build message string
sMsg = Concat(sMsg, "\u000a" ) // add new line to message
// convert date string to days since epoch date - format is important
var fDaysPast = Date2Num(sFmtDateValue, "MM/DD/YYYY")
// add 7 days to days past epoch date
var f7DaysPlus = fDaysPast + 7 // add 7 days
var s7DaysPlus = Num2Date(f7DaysPlus, "MMM DD, YYYY") // format string for 7 days plus
sMsg = Concat(sMsg, "\u000a", "Plus 7 Days: ", s7DaysPlus) // build message string
// add 14 days to days past epoch date
var f14DaysPlus = fDaysPast + 14 // add 7 days
var s14DaysPlus = Num2Date(f14DaysPlus, "MMMM DD, YYYY") // format string for 7 days plus
sMsg = Concat(sMsg, "\u000a", "Plus 14 Days: ", s14DaysPlus) // build message string
// display results
// work on months
// get parts of date past epoch date
var sFullYear = Num2Date(fDaysPast, "YYYY") // get 4 digit year form days past epoch date
var sMonth = Num2Date(fDaysPast, "MM") // get month form days past epoch date as number
var sDate = Num2Date(fDaysPast, "DD") // get date form days past epoch date as a number
var s2Month = Sum(sMonth, 2) // add 2 months
var s2FullYear = sFullYear
// if more than 12 months in new date adjust year on number of months
if (s2Month > "12") then
s2FullYear = Sum(s2FullYear, + 1) // increment year
s2Month = Sum(s2Month, - 12) // adjsut months
endif
var s2MonthsAdded = Concat(s2Month, "/", sDate, "/", s2FullYear) // date string
sMsg = Concat(sMsg, "\u000a", "Added 2 months: ", s2MonthsAdded) // display stringxfa.host.messageBox(sMsg, "Sample Adding Days" ,3, 0);
var s5Month = Sum(sMonth, 5) // add 5 months
var s5FullYear = sFullYear
// if more than 12 months in new date adjust year on number of months
if (s5Month > "12") then
s5FullYear = Sum(s5FullYear, + 1) // increment year
