How do I set the Text Fields alignment using LiveCycle 7.1

I created a Form using LiveCycle Designer 7.1 with a few sample Text Fields. Each text box is about 0.75" in height to accomodate a few lines of text within it - it will be holding a description field so the data could be quite large. When my PDF document gets populated with data from an XML file via a .NET Web Page, the text is shown in the center of the Text Field. However, I need the text to be dispalyed at the Top of the Text Field, not in the center. Does anyone know where the option is to make this happen?

In the paragraph tab. You may have to open it the first time from the Window menu.

  • How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

    I have some sample code:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    public class JFrameTester{
         public static void main( String[] args ) {
              JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
              f.setSize( 500, 500 );
              ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
              buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
              MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
              JPanel panel = new JPanel();
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
              panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
              f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
              f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
              f.setVisible( true );
         public static class MyListener  implements ActionListener{
              public MyListener() {}
              public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                   System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
                   // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
    }The output of the code is something like this:
    hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
    border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
    flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
    disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
    right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
    rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
    I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
    Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

    System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
    In a real-world application, no.
    In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
    In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
    All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
    Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

  • How do you set the text of a Hyperlink component in code

    I am using Visual Web pack in NB 6.0. How do you set the text of a hyperlink component in code?
    Please see screenshots at
    http://coba.usf.edu/departments/isds/faculty/agrawal/projects/java/
    I have a hyperlink in a grid panel. I am using
    hyperlink1.setText("Hello"); in prerender(),
    but the Hyperlink shows up with the text "Hyperlink", whereas I was expecting "Hello". However,
    hyperlink1.setUrl("http://www.usf.edu"); works as expected.
    I tried nesting a static text in the hyperlink as suggested in the Creator guide (ed 2, Google project). I deleted the "Hyperlink" text in the properties editor but then the page turned out blank.
    Thanks

  • How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes?

    In applescript...
    In another app - I have copied a song title to the clipboard...
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to the clipboard contents?
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes window?

    Hi Rev Dave,
    Q: Now - How Can I Set the Search Field in iTunes to
    the clipboard contents?
    Unfortunately the only way I can think to achieve this involves the use of "UI Scripting". The other previous posters have given you the preferred method you should consider using. If you want to script iTunes so that you visually see the search take place in iTunes you'll need to use the method shown in the script I've posted below.
    Q: Also how can I also open the main library itunes
    window?
    Cyclosaurus has given you the answer to this part of your question already.
    Here is a script that (though ugly IMHO) should achieve what you are asking for:set theSearch to (the clipboard) as string
    tell application "iTunes"
    activate
    set allPlaylists to playlists
    repeat with aList in allPlaylists
    if name of aList is not "Library" then
    set view of front browser window to aList
    exit repeat
    end if
    end repeat
    set LibList to playlist "Library"
    set view of front browser window to LibList
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "iTunes"
    if "iTunes" is not in name of windows or ¬
    focused of window "iTunes" is false then ¬
    keystroke "1" using command down
    keystroke tab
    keystroke theSearch
    end tell
    end tellIn order for the above script to work you need to have "Enable access for assistive devices" enabled in the "Universal Access" section of the "System Preferences" application.
    If you have any further questions about the above script feel free to ask.
    Hope this helps...

  • How do you set the Text in an Accordion Interaction?

    When trying to set the text in the Accordion Interaction, it behaves very strange. You can't set it. It starts out at 13 and then changes to either 10 or 30.
    Can anyone give some advise on how to set this?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Logged that bug (as well, have a long list). Workaround depends on your hardware: for some scrolling the mouse wheel will allow to change font size (doesn't work for me). On my Lenovo Thinkpad I have to use the trackpad, that has a scrollbar, to change the font size. Very cumbersome, was promised that it would soon be patched, crossing my fingers.

  • How to grade out the text field in form

    Hi all,
    I am using oracle forms 10g.
    I have created a form in that i have 10 items, There is field called Currency_code and when the currency_code is USD then there are three fields that need to graded out, when the currency code is not equal USD the user will enter data into that field.
    I have tried like this
    If :BLock.currency_code= 'USD' then
    set_item_property('block.field1',enable,property_false);
    set_item_property('block.field2',enable,property_false);
    else
    set_item_property('block.field1',enable,property_true);
    set_item_property('block.field2',enable,property_true);
    end if;
    end;
    In when_form instance trigger. But its not working. Can any one pls tell me how to do this.
    Regards
    Srikkanth.M

    Are you aware that by using the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, this would only get tested when the form starts the first time? In other words, have you coded a way to set ":BLock.currency_code= 'USD' " or anything else at start up? If not, then you don't need this code. Simply set the Enabled field on the Property Palette for "BLock.currency_code" to NO. You can change it back to YES at runtime in some other trigger.
    If however, you do set the field programatically somehow, try adding a SYNCHRONIZE at the end of your IF / THEN logic. In other words change it to something like this:
    If :BLock.currency_code= 'USD' then
    set_item_property('block.field1',enable,property_false);
    set_item_property('block.field2',enable,property_false);
    else
    set_item_property('block.field1',enable,property_true);
    set_item_property('block.field2',enable,property_true);
    end if;
    SYNCHRONIZE;
    end;

  • How do you set the From field in Mail?

    Is there any way to set the From field in messages. I have two email addresses:
    an .edu address at an university
    a .net at my ISP
    I’d like the From field to be my .edu addreess. Mail sent to my .edu address is forwarded to an address of my choosing, which happens to be my .net address. I would, however, like to keep my .net relatively hidden so I can change ISPs. We did that year switching from cable to DSL.
    I tried changing Mail Preferences->Accunts->Email Address
    to my .edu address. That, however, did not work. My DSL provider ignored the Email Address field and inserted my .net address in the from field. (I believe this method worked when I had a cable ISP.)

    Since my last post, I found tried putting
    Preferences->Accounts->Email address to be my edu address
    would add my .edu address as one of my from choices
    Next, I sent myself a mail message, with following result:
    The .edu address is now rejected by the outgoing server with the message:
    Cannot send message using the server
    The sender address (my .edu address) was rejected by the server
    I had this working at some time, but not now. Help, please.

  • How can I set the text feild in a form to print out the entire feild?

    Right now it's only printing out what shows in the box, I want the box to expand when printed and show all the text entered in the field, how can I set it to do that?

    I think that the font size has to be set in the form itself, not the FDF.

  • How do you set the from field in mail to be one of two addresses?

    I have two email addresses.  How do I set up mail so I select which of the addresses goes in the from field?

    The From field should include a drop down menu from which you chose the address you want to ue for that message.

  • How do I set the text orientation in a Microsoft Word table cell from LabVIEW?

    In a table in Word (Office 2010) it's possible to change the text orientation in a cell (if you right click on a cell, it's the 'Text Direction...' option). 
    Has anyone figured out how to do this from LabVIEW?  I took a quick look at doing it via ActiveX, but haven't find the correct property/method.  Next step is to try .net.

    Previous post shows the constant values for Excel (my mistake). The following code will change the text orientation for a whole table in Word.

  • How do I set the print preference to use black ink only?

    Despite having a color printer, I want to print in grayscale , black ink only, by default

    That depends on your printer and the software that came with the printer. You can consult your printer manual or the online site for your printer manufacturer.
    Generally, to change for the '''current session only''', File > Print, click Properties, in the new window see what options are offered. Take special note whether there is an option to use black cartridge only.
    To change for '''all future sessions''', click (Windows) Start > Settings > Printers and Faxes, click you printer from the list, in the new window, click Printer > Printing Preferences. You will see the same window as in the instructions for '''current session only''' above, see what options are offered and look for use black cartridge only option. You may need to restart your computer. Test by printing one page that contains colored text or elements.
