How to change solid size automatically to a text field?

Does anyone know how to make a solid change the scale parameter automatically when the layer above it goes longer / shorter then it? I’m trying to have a text field that can be changed and need the solid underneath it to change the scale parameter when the text goes longer or shorter then the solid. Sounds like an expression…

I got this working with the following expression:
xExtra=effect("xExtra")("Slider")
yExtra=effect("yExtra")("Slider")
x=thisComp.layer("Text 1").sourceRectAtTime().width + xExtra;
y=thisComp.layer("Text 1").sourceRectAtTime().height + yExtra;
[x,y]
The Problem:
it resizes from the middle out. I need the text justified left (which it is not, because then it is not lined up and if I drag the shape layer over to line it up as I add text it still goes from the middle out and does not completly cover the whole text) and have this expression change only the length of the box below on the right side and keep the left justified.
Any Ideas?

  • How to change the SIZE FONT of the text description in ESS

    Hi Forum
       My key user wants the size font  more bigger in the areas and subarea´s of ESS. I have changed then font of the standard text in the Theme Editor. I think that this is a property in the Web Dynpro Application and only modifying it this could be more bigger, but this means change the standard appliction of ESS.
    Any idea ?

    Josué,
    The changes applied to theme should work, but also you can consider this workarounds:
    For only one user, He/She can increase all fonts in general by using font increase tool from the internet browser;
    - In IE: View > Font Size > Larger or Largest
    - In Firefox: View > Zoom > Zoom In
    Do iview Personalization, by opening in Preview mode and doing Ctrl+Right click. Then, for the corresponding text you can select in Design field "Title 2", "Title 1", ...

  • How to change a list/menu to a text field when 'Other' is chosen?

    Hi there. I've been trying to solve this for a week now and I have depleted all my resources, that is why I'm here. I even went to jquery but nothing works and I think I was over-complicating this way too much.
    In short: I have a contact form, which have a list/menu with validation, and one of the options of that list/menu is "other". What I want is that when the user select "other" automatically change to a text field in order to let the user put his custom color. This is what I have:
    <form method="post" action="process.php">
    <span id="spryselect1">
    <label for="colors"></label>
    <select name="colors" id="colors">
    <option selected="option1">Blue.</option>
    <option value="option2">White</option>
    <option value="option3">Red</option>
    <option value="other">other</option>
    </select>
    <span class="selectRequiredMsg">Please select a colour.</span></span>
    <input type="submit" value="Send">
    </form>
    I know now that the approach is to show/hide a separate textbox besides the other... well. I don't know how to implement that, I think I really need your help guys. I'm completely frustrated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Have a look at the following

  • How to change display type of an existing Text field to a Picklist

    I need to modify an existing Text Field in the Expense report page to a Picklist and associate values to that picklist. Is this possible through Personalization ? If not, can someone let me know how this can be achieved.
    Thanks
    Meera

    We created an item instead of creating a region and extending it. But here we have one more problem. The item we added is getting displayed at Button Layout section
    Where did you create it, you should choose the appropriate region's create item icon to add it. If think you added it in a wrong place.
    And one more issue that we are facing is - we are getting an error (No current row for View (<ViewInstance>)). when we clicking the save or next button in that page. Please let us know how to update the existing controller and save the value in that picklist item to the database.
    There are two issues here,
    - you are trying to replace the messageTextInput with the poplits, so you should get the viewAttribute and viewUsage name associated with the textinput and provide that as part of the messageChoice definition.
    - the picklist VO which is the datasource for the poplist is not included in the existing seeded AM since you didnot follow the steps I mentioned earlier to create the stacklayout and add it instead of adding it directly. Probably you are on a version earlier than CU2, in which case you need to follow the additional steps mentioned below.
    While adding the poplist donot specify the picklist view definitions,
    1. extend the controller on the page and write your controller
    2. Call super first
    3. get a handle to the root AM and create the viewobject dynamically by using the createViewObject API on the AM.
    4. get a handle to the poplist in the controller, you need to do this first before creating the poplist in the personalization(otherwise the page might error out if you created the poplist first without the picklist view definition properties) and set the display, value attributes as well as the picklist view defintions based on the viewobject you created in step 3.
    5. Use personalization and add your poplist
    6. replace the old controller class with the new one.
    You are done.

    how to change font size on screen

    I'm not certain what font sizes you wish to change, when on a page you can use command and the += button to zoom in and make the fonts larger. On the finder desktop you can make what ever is on the desktop larger or smaller from the finder menu click view, custom view options, and adjust the icon size with the slider on the top, and the text using the text size box to select the size that your comfortable with.
    Forgot to add these.

  • How to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?

    hi All
    That's great when using SQL Dev.
    But I also have a trouble that how to change font size, maximum column size in the result screen ?
    My users think that font in result screen is shown very small, and whenever the data in each colum is long then it's not shown full data in column, they must double click for extend the size. Have the option to default the max size for showing full data in each column ? I try but still not to do that .
    Appreciate for anyone to help us.
    Thanks all.
    Sigmasvn

    You can't change the font for the results screen yet, however you will be able to select an auto-fit option for selected columns, so if some columns have slitghtly wider text you'll be able to set the column widths to handle these wider columns.
    Also, there s the option of switching the layout of a record in the grid.

  • How to change font size in textarea?

    how to change font size in textarea?

    to embed a font using actionscript requires adding the font to your library.  to do that, click the upper right of your library panel, click "new font..", select the font you want and click ok.  find the added font in your library, right click, click properties and tick "export for actionscript" (click the actionscript tab if you don't see that option, at first).  assign a class name (eg, WhateverFont).  you can then use:
    var tfor:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    tfor.size=22;
    var yourfont:Font=new WhateverFont();
    tfor.font = yourfont.fontName;
    ta.setStyle("embedFonts",true);
