How can I query the rendered width of a text object

Does anyone know of a way to query the rendered width of a bound field object. We are using a proportional font (Times New Roman) and need to figure out, how wide the output is going to be. Thank you!

Hi Niall, thanks again. I am currently working on a project where we convert Crystal Reports
documents to LiveCycle Production Print with the goal of creating the exact same output in
LiveCycle as it was produced in Crystal Reports.
We define a field in LiveCycle with the exact same properties for width, height, font, font size etc. as
it is defined in Crystal Reports.
When we populate the field with data that exceeds the defined width of the field, the data gets cut
off at a different position than in Crystal Reports, sometimes even in the middle of a character.
If I could query the length of the rendered output, I could shorten the input data until the rendered
output would fit in the field.

    Hello all.
    Bi Publisher is great, but has a very high price tag. It's even more expensive than Forms & Reports Services. We are considering APEX to replace Forms & Reports on the web, but the reporting limitations are still a problem.
    I wonder if there is another option.
    Thanks

  • How can I change the disabled of a message text input base on a choice

    how can I change the disabled of a message text input when a dropdown list value is changed? I declare the primaryclientaction but I don't know how to make the event automatically change the disabled of the message text input to true or false.
    HELP!!!! IT'S URGENT....

    Hi,
    assuming you are using ADF Faces:
    Put a submit(); in the on-change javascript event of the dropdown.
    In the disabled property of the input text use some EL to reference the value of the dropdown eg disabled="{#{! bindings.Fruit.inputValue == 'BANANA'}"

    Hi All,
    If i remove any objects from the universe.
    How can i know the list of affected reports.

    Thanks for your update.
    It shows what are all the reports has been created  by using that particular universe.
    But my question was, if i remove any object from the universe, Then what are all the reports affected(We may not use that deleted object in all the reports)

  • How can I reduce the column width in a spreadsheet according to the text?

    Hi,
    I added a spreadsheet to a pages document and now I want to reduce the column width so that it fits the content (text).
    I tried it the other way around: I added very small columns and then chose the adjust-automatically-option in informations. This worked, the columns became broader and matched the text.
    Now I got a lot of spreadsheets which columns are too broad. When choosing adjust-automatically just nothing happens. What can I do?
    Sorry if this sounds a little weird, I'm using English seldom at time and don't know which words to choose to describe my problem properly. Hope someone can help me nevertheless?

    Hi Sarah,
    In Pages, the table Autosize feature pertains to Row Height, not Column Width. Numbers has more Table sizing options than Pages does, so you might want to consider looking into doing your work in Numbers.
    In Pages, there are slight differences in how tables behave depending on whether they are Inline or Floating. You might want to experiment with that. Long tables, however, must be Inline.

  • When drawing with the shape tool in Flash how can I vary the stroke width?

    I created an oval shape and I'd like to vary the stroke width so it's not all just one uniform thickness. However in the Properties window I can only find the uniform stroke width and style options (solid, dotted, hashed, etc...). How can I add some tapering?
    Thank you for your help.

    You probably need to convert the line to a fill and then change the shape of it. .. Modify -> Shape -> Convert Lines to Fills

  • How can I measure the full width half max pulse-width of a gaussian function?

    Hi I am measuring a laser pulse using a Tektronix scope and feeding that data into my labview (v 7.1) based data system on a Mac OS X computer. I want to measure the full width pulse at half the maximum peak. The included measurement VIs that come with labview and the tek scope dont seem to do the job (even though the scope itself can do the measurement). I've attached my example VI. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    If you can display a trace on the screen, you can get the full width at half maximum. LabVIEW gives you several options:
    Use the Pulse Parameters VI to determine the width directly. This will be a width based solely on the data with no assumption as to an underlying model.
    Use the Levenberg Marquardt VI to fit a gaussian to your curve, then calculate the full width at half maximum from the coefficients. Levenberg Marquardt is a least-squares/gaussian algorithm, so is somewhat noise sensitive.
    Use one of the minimizer functions (e.g. Downhill Simplex) to construct your own fit using a different assumed error distribution. If you are unsure how to do this, check out a copy of Numerical Recipes in C by Press et. al. and read the section on data fitting.
    Do your own data based calculation. Find the peak with Peak Detector. This will give you the magnitude, but you may want to verify it with a polynomial fit (parabola is usually good enough) across the top of the peak to avoid noise problems. Then find the positions of the half-maxima on either side of the peak. The Interpolate 1D Array will probably prove useful for this.
    Choose your method depending on your pain threshold and how accurate and robust you need the result to be. Good luck!

  • How can you set the default width of the 'Detailed Navigation iView'?

    Hello,
    we would like to reduce the default width of the 'Detailed Navigation iView' in order to save some screen space.
    So far, we havn't found the right item in the portal admin to do this.
    Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
    Frank Schülke, E.ON Ruhrgas, Germany

    Hi Frank,
    You can change the width of this navigation iview  by changing the value of "defaultExpWidth" in the file WAandNAVPanel.js present in the par file com.sap.layouts.framework.par from default value 220 pixels to the value you want.
    upload the changed par file and restart the server.
    Hope this helps,
    (if not do get  back )

  • How can I find the full width at half-maximum?

    Hello,
    I have run into a problem that I hope you can help me with: I need to find the Full Width at Half-Maximum.
    I have an array of pixel intensities and have found the peaks and valleys using Peak Detector.vi, but I can not figure out a way to find the full width at half-maximum (the width of the 'hill' at one-half of its maximum point).
    Any help you may provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Jared,
    I had the same problem. One of the solutions I used was to use the was to
    use "threshold 1D array.vi" from the array palette. You can use this to
    iteratively get the uphill edge of the peak. To get the down hill edge, you
    have to invert the array and then use the same VI. Then subract the uphil
    position from the down hill position and your done.
    You do however need to be careful depending on your image content. If the
    image is noisy, then the "Peak Detector.vi" will have problems finding the
    "real peak".
