Function formats textfields

hi there,
MY IDEA:
every textfield in my form shall behave in the same way.
For example background color is changing if the field is entered.
I don' t want to script the whole batch of javascript-commands for every single textfield.
Instead I' d like to put one function in a script objekt called SO containing all necessary commands.
Then I' d like to start this function from each textfield.
MY PROBLEM:
I don`t manage to put the name of my textfields in a parameter of my function in a way javascript makes it run.
EXAMPLE:
/* this is a function in the script objekt called SO */
function fu_form_mark (P_TEXTFIELD){
xfa.form.myform1.P_TEXTFIELD.border.presence="visible";
xfa.form.myform1.P_TEXTFIELD.border.fill.color.value="100,50,100";
/* this is a textfield in my form */
----- myform1.#subform[0].TXT_1::exit - (JavaScript, client) ----------
var V_MARK_FIELD = SO.fu_form_mark("TXT_1");
QUESTION:
How do I have to script this example to make it work ?

try recode your program by using
"createTextField" Method it may help you out .

Sorry I ain't done yet. My trigger happy go lucky phone send the message at a flash. I tried to work around the none formatting issue using the word in the office but as I could not get it to work as expected within reasonable amount of time and number of tries I gave up. If you format a phrase and copy it it just copies the last format and ignores the copied formatting. Plus how do you make the f. Keyboard go away easily? Why internet has no forward arrow, only back! Is this some kind of joke? Why when texting can't you move back and forth with arrows, just the stupid cursor. NO undo function????? Elementary mr Watson, elementary. +You have to be an oracle to guess when an app will close when u hit the back arrow rather than go back!! Apps must not close like that. Pretty disheartening. Pretty pretty for a good looking phone like this.
And to be honest I am not going to buy a new phone for another three to four years come hell. Unless wify breaks my old one she uses now and I give her the brick.

Error reusing function with textfield

I'm trying to reuse one of my function that contains a textfield and it's giving me and error on the second time using the formatLink function.. Below is my code:

The error message is as folows:

Okay, here's the issue. If I move the following code from the formatLink function to the nextText function right underneath the addChild(myTxtField) then it works; however, the texts in the nextText will disappar as soon as the texts in the nextLink function shows up.
var myCSS:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
 myCSS.setStyle("a:link", {color:'#0000CC',textDecoration:'none'});
 myCSS.setStyle("a:hover", {color:'#0000FF',textDecoration:'underline'});
 txtFormat.font = weiss.fontName;
 //txtFormat.color=0x000066;
 txtFormat.size=20;
 //myTxtField.setTextFormat(txtFormat);
 myTxtField.defaultTextFormat=txtFormat;
 myTxtField.styleSheet = myCSS; // Linking CSS to TextField
Is there a way to keep them both on the screen with reuse of the same function?

TO_CHAR Function Format Argument Limit

I was curious if there is a limitation to the length of the string used as the Format argument in the TO_CHAR Function? If so, how long is it?

I couldn't find it in the documentation, but it appears at first glance to be 63 for numbers with a simple format mask. You could experiment with the others:-

HtmlText Auto formatting textfield

how could we remove auto tag adding by htmlText Property because when we apply htmlText for a textfield it automatically add and tag.
In my project i am saving one textfield property in server but when i am assigning this value from server its changing to .
So how could we remove this auto formatting by htmlText??
As in http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html link there is written also "When its htmlText property is traced, the output is the HTML-formatted String, with additional tags (such as and ) automatically added by Flash Player."
i want to remove this auto adding tag. Please help me out.

Hy thanks K for so fast reply,
No, i am basically making an editor kind of thing, where some text have align=left property and some have align=right property. So while saving i am checking alignment of the text and applying in tag. Suppose i saved Text Sample now i called this string from server and applied to my TextField. Now when i am assigning this text to textfield (mytext.htmlText = someServerVariable) then its coming as Text Sample.
Some tags of font is also there which i ignored here. i just want to put same string in html text. i want to remove auto formatting property of htmlText.

Format Number Function

Hello All,
I am facing a problem in Message Mapping. In the Arithmatic Category we have used the function Format Number. The Number Format is 0.0
Decimal Separator is (BLANK)
In this case If I input any value say 8 or 8.0 then the output should be 8.0. However, I am getting 8,0(COMMA Separator) as the output. This causes the Mapping to Fail.
This problem occurs on one landscape where as on the other landscape it works fine and gives the output as expected.
Can anybody help me on that?? Am I missing anything in configuration or are there some special settings for it??
Kindly help.
Regards,
Rohit K

Hi
if you put the decimal separator as blank then it will use the . as a decimal separator.
and when you use the ny other symbol in the decimal separator then it will use that sysmob as decimal separator.
so please check in ur format number properties what u ahve given.
Thanks

Having problem with setting variable on a textfield

I'm using createTextField to create a textfield. I have also created a input textfield with a variable called textline1 (I don't create the inputfield with as).
I want to display the letters in the created textfiled that I'm typing in the input field. So this in my AS coed:
_root.createTextField("text1",1,100,100,300,100);
text1.variable = textline1;
format1 = new TextFormat();
format1.color = 0xff0000;
format1.size = 50;
format1.bullet = false;
text1.setTextFormat(format1);
but it doesn't work. So anyone see the problem?
(sorry for bad english)

i think you're going to have more problems if you continue using textfield variables. you should not use them. just use the text property of the textfield to reference its contents.
but, if you want to continue, use:
var tl:MovieClip=this;
fontsize=20;
myInputText_txt.onChanged = function(text1:TextField) {
_root.myText_mc.createTextField("text_txt",1,100,100, 100,100);
_root.myText_mc.text_txt.variable = tl["text2"];
text2=text1.text;
format1 = new TextFormat();
format1.color = 0xff0000;
format1.size = fontsize;
format1.bullet = false;
text_txt.setTextFormat(format1);
p.s. please mark this thread as answered.

Help retreiving XML data in table format

Hello,
i have a field which stores IP and Domain data in XML format. The field data type is BLOB.
here is the XML data sample stored in the field.
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>
<DOMAIN Name="DOMAIN_NAME HERE">
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X1"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X2"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X3"></IPADDRESS>
<IPADDRESS Address="X.X.X.X4"></IPADDRESS>
... ETC
Is it possible to run SELECT against this field and retrieve the data in the table format, so the output will have two fields and look like
domain IPADDRESS
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X1
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X2
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X3
DOMAIN_NAME HERE X.X.X.X4

Xp20:format-datetime usage....

Hello gurus,
I am trying to use the xPath function format-datetime to get rid of the timezone from an input element, but in the output factional seconds is returning all zeroes. My picture string looks like below.
xp20:format-dateTime($CreationDateTime,"[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]T[H01]:[m01]:[s01].[f000001]")
eg: Input: 2011-01-07T09:35:03.624992-05:00
Output: 2011-01-07T09:35:03.000000
I am using 10.1.3.4 SOA and jdeveloper version.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

How do I set this though to format the date itself? i.e. I have set this up so far, xpath20:format-dateTime(xpath20:current-dateTime()), but what do I place in the last set of parenthesis that allows me to achieve this?

Format elapsed time

I want to produce 2 strings, one with YYYY:MMD and one with HH:MMS since a fixed point (when measurements start). I've tried may approaches and searched the examples but could not find what I needed, either I get 1904:01:01 01:00:00 as the starting point or I get negative e.g. seconds when the system goes from 10 to 11 minutes. (same with hours/minutes and so on).
Suggestions? Below are a few attemps...maybe a lot of unnecessary code...but not very failiar with labview.

Hi Anders,
atleast you can replace all those "Number to fractional" and "concat string" functions with just 2 "Format into string" functions (format string "%02d:%02d:%02d:;" to get "HH:MMS:;")!
Btw. when converting integers to strings you should use "decimal number to string" instead of "fractional number to string" with precision=0!
I also would remove those 2 "value" property nodes with a wire as you get the value from a local control... You also don't need the negate functions, just swap the input of the select functions.

Xp20:format-dateTime with milli seconds always as zeroes

Hi All,
I am trying to use the xPath function format-datetime , but in the output factional seconds is returning all zeroes. My picture string looks like below.
*xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),"[H01][m01][s01][f001]*
Result always in zeroes see example below:
*105017000*
Do somebody have some advice on this issue?

Use ora:getCurrentDateTime() extension function instead... It accepts java SimpleDateFormat patterns and it is able to go milliseconds...

Xp20:format-dateTime method in BPEL 11g

I am doing a date conversion as xp20:format-dateTime('2007-10-07','YYYYMMDD') and storing in a String variable - givenDateConverted
but the result is as below
<givenDateConverted >YYYYMMDD</givenDateConverted>
My original requirement is to compare this givenDateConverted with the currentDate and reject if givenDateConverted is less than currentDate
Please help
Thanks
Sesha

Hi sesha,
Your date 08-OCT-2009 is not in the expected xs:DateTime format like 2002-05-30T09:30:10Z
This is what xp20:format-dateTime needs.
What is the date format of the date you need to compare to the current date?
If it is in the standard xsd:dateTime format you don't need to format anything.
If it is a comparable format you can format the current time in that format.
For example:
<before>
<xsl:value-of select="xp20:format-dateTime(xp20:current-dateTime(),"[Y0001][M01][D01][H01][m01][s01]") > '20100909111209'"/>
</before>see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-format-dateTime
And beware of timezone issues...

If you are looking to get further functionality of LabVIEW within the Microsoft Excel environment, I would strongly suggest using the Excel Specific VIs included in the Report Generation Toolkit. They are extremely easy to use and will give you full functionality of the features in Excel. These VIs provide you access to each specific cell and what you would like to add as well as graph functions, formatting, sorting, etc. For additional information, please see the link below or contact National Instruments. This link (under “Resources”) has a way to evaluate this toolkit free for 30 days to see what you think. Good luck with the rest of your application.

Dynamic Function Calling

I am attempting to dynamically populate a function at runtime and then have the ability to call this function. Anybody know how this could be done?

What you need is eval(). Unfortunately eval() is not available in AS3, although it is defined in ECMA script standard. (It was in AS1/2.)
Fortunately, there are some very clever people who produced their own implementations I will use D.eval by RIA 1 here. http://www.riaone.com/products/deval/
Let's say you have this XML:
<function name="exampleFunction" arg0="num:int" arg1="str:String" returns="String">return num + str</function>
First you have to convert it to a string in AS3 Function format:
function exampleFunction(num:int, str:String):String{return num + str};
Then evaluate it as Function, and execute it.
import r1.deval.D;
var xml:XML = <function name="exampleFunction" arg0="num:int" arg1="str:String" returns="String">return num + str</function>;
var functionString:String = "function " + xml.@name + "(" + xml.@arg0 + ", " + xml.@arg1 + "):" + xml.@returns + "{" + xml + "};";
var dynamicFunction:Object = D.parseFunctions(functionString);
trace(D.eval("exampleFunction(3, ' spacemen');", null, dynamicFunction));

The problem is that you are adding the components in the initComponets() method and then overlaying their references with new components with the applied mask format.
