Getting Dynamic Text To Act Like Static Text

Hi, need help.
I currently have 7 text/symbols that each move to the right
when a button beneath expands in a mouseover.event.
Working fine.
With one exception: I need to set the text value of that text
dynamically using loadVars (the text is dates that vary).
No problem, I can do that with dynamic text, except for a few
somewhat ugly problems.
Problem 1 - I want the text just to display. The dynamic text
gets the I-Beam mouse cursor.
Problem 2 - Dynamic text lets the user select some or all of
the text, which then shows in highlighted color.
I don't want the user to have any interaction with the text,
and I'd like to have the "hand" mouse pointer over it, which
carries through from the button underneath, just like the static
text currently does.
I've tried the label component, but when you move it, it
evaluates the HTML that sets the color too slowly, so you only see
the start and end points. I've tried on (load) and on (draw), and
the text looks like it's taking a huge hop from starting point to
ending point, instead of moving gracefully across the real estate
(default is black, html makes it white).
Any idea how I can get text to move, to format, to get its
text at startup and still look like and act like it's the text on
top of a button?
I'd very much appreciate any help!
Thank you. Sign me stymied! :-)

Problem 1 and 2: Set the textfields to not be selectable in
the Properties panel. If that's not a solution, say a little more
about how you have it pieced together.

Highlighting Text Acting Like REDACTING Text

Dunno what's goin on. A Pro 9. Windows Home, ALL UPDATES.
I highlight text and instead of seeing the text highlited, the highligt COVERS the tex. It's YELLOW colored REDTACTION.
I've REPAIRED the app TWICE. I REBOOTED each time. That APPEARED to have corrected the problem. It DIDN'T because the REPAIR failed and the HIGHLIGHT BLOTTOED OUT the text. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I opened the last thing I was working on where the YELLOW HIGHLIGHT redacted the text and the text WAS VISIBLE while highlighted. THEN I opened another PDF file and same deal, the YELLOW highlighting REDACTED rather than HIGHLIGHTED.
Uh, is it a me thing? Is it a thing I can chek or uncheck in A Pro 9? Wassup with this weirdness?

CS4 is not kind to those who don't know HTML/CSS well enough
to avoid these
errors, I'm afraid. It's really all about how much HTML and
CSS you feel
comfortable with, not the tool you are using. Should the
page/site be
rebuilt? I think so - at the least it should be taken apart
and
reassembled. Are the mistakes you made ones that you will
make again? Yes,
I think so.
I don't want to sound harsh or pessimistic, but I think
that's the bottom
line. I assume you are building the site for her so that she
wouldn't have
the expense of paying someone to do it, right? But wouldn't
you also want
her site to be the best it can be, and not to look/behave
like someone's
first site?
Now - if you want to bite the bullet and shove down some HTML
& CSS, and
muddle through, there is plenty of help here, but if you
aren't carrying
your load, people will tire of solving the problems you
encounter.

How do I get rid of the 'Main Report' static text box in CR 2008 viewer?

It sits in the upper left hand corner. It takes up way too much real estate.
Thanks.

C
version:
        private void HideReportTab(CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.CrystalReportViewer crViewer)
            TabControl tabs;
            foreach(Control control in crViewer.Controls)
                if(control is CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.PageView)
                    foreach (Control controlInPage in control.Controls)
                        if (controlInPage is System.Windows.Forms.TabControl)
                            tabs = (TabControl) controlInPage;
                            tabs.ItemSize = new Size(0, 1);
                            tabs.SizeMode = TabSizeMode.Fixed;

Copy static text from one MIF documents to other MIF document

Hi All,
I'm trying to copy the text frames and their contents from one document to other document.
I"m following the bellow steps..!
1. Open Template1.mif by F_ApiSimpleOpen()
2. Create new document called "Template2.mif" using "F_ApiCustomDoc"
3. Import the required formats by
F_ApiSimpleImportFormats(Template2,Template1,FF_UFF_COLOR |FF_UFF_COMBINED_FONTS |FF_UFF_COND |FF_UFF_DOCUMENT_PROPS |FF_UFF_FONT |FF_UFF_MATH |FF_UFF_PAGE |FF_UFF_PGF |FF_UFF_TABLE |FF_UFF_VAR))
4. Read the text frames from "Template1" and create new text frame in Template2
 pgfId = F_ApiGetId(FV_SessionId, Template1, FP_FirstFlowInDoc);
 while (pgfid) {
 // create a new text frame in Template2
 tFrameId = F_ApiNewGraphicObject(Template2, FO_TextFrame, pFrameId);
 objGraphicId = F_ApiGetId(Template1, pgfId, FP_FirstTextFrameInFlow);
 //assigning the properties of text frames
 propspdf = F_ApiGetProps(docIdfrom, objGraphicId);
 F_ApiSetProps(docIdto, tFrameId,&propspdf);
Till this step, it is working as expected.
Next I need to read the paragraphs of each text frame and put only static text available in the TEXT FRAMES OF Template1 in newly crated TEXT FRAMES of Template2. But ignore the variables in the text frames.
I tried to work with the following piece of code
 doc2PgfId = F_ApiGetId(docIdfrom, objGraphicId, FP_FirstPgf);
 doc1PgfId = F_ApiGetId(docIdto, tFrameId, FP_FirstPgf);
 while (doc2PgfId && doc1PgfId)
 F_ApiDeallocatePropVals(&propspdf);
 tispdf = F_ApiGetText(docIdfrom, doc2PgfId, FTI_String|FTI_PgfBegin|FTI_PgfEnd);
 tisspdf = F_ApiGetText(docIdto, doc1PgfId, FTI_String);
 n=tispdf.len;
 n1=tisspdf.len;
 for(i=0; i<tispdf.len;i++){
 ti = &tispdf.val[i];
 tiT = &tisspdf.val[i];
 //compare the text type and handle each text item appropriately
 switch(ti->dataType){
 //handle normal free flowing text
 case(FTI_String):
 //F_ApiAlert("In String", FF_ALERT_CONTINUE_NOTE);
 tr.beg.objId = pgfId;
 tr.beg.offset = ti->offset;
 trT.beg.objId = tr.beg.objId;
 trT.beg.offset = tr.beg.offset;
 F_ApiDeallocatePropVals(&props);
 props = F_ApiGetTextProps(docIdfrom, &tr.beg);
 F_ApiSetTextProps(docIdto, &trT.beg,&props);
 name1=(StringT)ti->u.sdata;
 textLoc=F_ApiAddText(docIdto, &trT.beg,name1);
 //textLoc.objId = pgfId1;
 //textLoc.offset = textLoc.offset;
 //if the text string is a part of a variable then
 //it would have been taken care of so ignore it
 break;
 case(FTI_PgfBegin):
 pgfId = ti->u.idata;
 pgfId1 = tiT->u.idata;
 propspdf = F_ApiGetProps(docIdfrom, pgfId);
 F_ApiSetProps(docIdto, pgfId1,&propspdf);
 break;
 case(FTI_PgfEnd):
 pgfId = 0;
 pgfId1= 0;
 textLoc.offset=0;
 bPgfalive = False;
 break;
 //Get ID of next pgf in frame
where am I going wrong? Is there any simple way of doing it?
How do I go ahead with this? Please help..!
Thanks,
Basav

Hi Michael,
Thanks for quick reply..!
There was a piece of code which validates whether the text frame I needed exists or not. I intentionally removed so as to not to confuse the reader.
Let me give you a clear picture that what I want to do..!
I've a MIF file and XML file that has the details of text frames and its contents in the MIF. XML looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MyProjectXML>
<TextFrame frame="fr18111dd">Basava</TextFrame>
<TextFrame frame="fr224362cc">Prabhu</TextFrame>
<TextFrame frame="fr2547">5 Year Performance (US Dollar)</TextFrame>
</MyProjectXML>
My MIF file has more than 50 named text frames. Some of them are in XML file, like - fr18111dd, fr224362cc,fr2547. These text frames have the static text,variables and tables. [ Tables I've kept it aside to work later for now]
What I need -
Need a MIF file that has frames available in XML file and replace the variables with the values given in tag and keep the static text as it is.
I'm trying the other way now, Open the MIF file and delete all the text frames except the frames mentioned in the XML file and save as new file.
Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong here..! That will save my time and effort.
Am I clear on my query? and what I wanted to achive ? Let me know otherwise..!
Thanks,
Basav

Text field contents overlap the static text below.

hi all,
I have got a problem with the size of a text field in my form. In the form, below the text field, i have got a static text. The height of the text field varies dynamically depending on the size of the string coming from the backend.
Now, as the size of the text field increases, its text is overlapping the static text below. i dont wat this to happen. how can i dynamically change the position of the static text depending on the size of the text field above.
regards
Shyam.

hi,
with regard to your problem please go through the following link where I have provided the solution similar to your problem.

Chaging static text dynamically.

Hello,
I'm working on a form where the text in a static text field needs to change depending on what data is entered in another part of the form (without a trip to the server).
I tried using a floating field but I can't seem to get the text to change in real time.
I have a static text box with the text "stone's text {myFieldName}" and a button. When the button is clicked, I need the static text to be "stone's text this is the button text". The intention is to add conditions and dynamic content once the prototype is complete.
Here's the code that I have on a click event of a button (client side JavaScript):
form1.sf.myFieldName.rawValue = "this is the button text";
app.alert('Value is-->' + form1.sf.myFieldName.rawValue);
The value is what I expect in the alert, but the text doesn't change in the statice text field.
Am I on the right track? Or Is there another way to have static text change on a click event of a button?
Thanks,
Stone_Golem

You cannot change static text dynamically. You would have to use a text field and adjust the visual look of it so that it look like a static text object to the user.

How to get file name and set it as static text in a dialog

Hi,
I m new to InDesign Programming.
I have a menu that creates a dialog with different controls in it.
The dialog will appear only if there is an open file. I need to display the name of the open file as a static text in the dialog. I know to get the name of the current file but don't know how to pass this each time the dialog is opened.
Can someone help me in doing this?
I m using InDesign CS3 in MAC OS.
Thank You.

those are the methods, but you can't use getCharacterEncoding(), actually, cuz it seems it's not necessarily filled in.. or at least that might be on some servers only, like Tomcat 4. As for encodings, you need to do a search for character encoding names and use the appropriate one.

Get exData body of a static text

Hi experts,
I've got a static text as follow (xml source)
 <draw minH="20mm" name="Text" w="190mm" x="0.6477mm" y="201.971mm">
 <ui>
 <textEdit>
 <margin/>
 </textEdit>
 </ui>
 <value>
 <exData contentType="text/html">
 <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/" xfa:APIVersion="2.5.6290.0">Il sottoscritto </span</body>
 </exData>
 </value>
 </draw>
I need to change the body formatting dynamically.
I've tried with exData.saveXML() function but this returns
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<exData contentType="text/html"/>
how can I get the body xml?
Best regards,
Dariush

I used this:
Text1.value.exData.saveXML("pretty")
It returned this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<exData contentType="text/html" xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/3.5/">
 <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">This is a test </body>
</exData>
The body tag has the formatting and the value that is in teh text object.
Are you not seeing the somethig similar?

Adobe form -- Issue in Displaying Dynamic text along with Static text

Hi All,
I am having an issue when i am displaying a dynamic text along with static text in adobeforms.
The dynamic text is slightly coming down and not aligned with the static text. i can see half row it is coming down.
how to align both texts to be printed in same format.
Request all of your expert advices in achieving this .
Thank you in advance.
Thanks&Regards,
Phani Miriyaila.

Hi,
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Goto Object palette -> Layout. Give values to X,Y coordinates and Height & Width. Anchor properly and specify margins as well.
Select both dynamic and static text in the layout. Right click on it and goto palettes -> Paragraph. It gives you the text alignment options. Align the text and give similar font and size.
Thanks & Regards,

How can I get rid of the added / preset text words included in my text messages. It always says something like "Please call back at

How can I get rid of the added / preset text words included in my text messages. It always says something like "Please call back at ###-####."

JenJenTen,
I understand that having a preset text that you did not want can be a bit frustrating when sending out text. To clarify, is the preset message like a signature at the end of your text? Does this only happen in text messages or when your send emails also? Is your SMS delivery confirmation on? Messaging>Settings>SMS delivery confirmation.

There used to be a small microhone icon while writing a text message which allowed you to speak the text you'd like then it would type it for you in the message. I didnt have to use Siri, the icon was right in the text box itself. That icon disapeared a few weeks ago. Anyone have an idea how to get it back???

[OBIEE 11g]Can "Static Text" use parameter like "Narrative"?

We need to add some notes to a report and need get text from one column of result. I know we can use @1 to get the 1st column in Narrative, but in Static Text it fails. Does Static Text support that?
We need this because in 11g, "HTML markup" broken in Narrative.

Hi,
No it will not support.Even in 10g we cannot show column values using @columnnumber or @{presentationvariable} in static text.
Narrative view support sin both versions.
