How to force all characters in prompt text field will be in uppercase???

Hi everybody
How to get that all characters in a prompt field of a Webi report will be compared in uppercase with the database field ?? Even if the user input text in lower case.
this is due to the database all filelds are in uppercase, and avoid to say to the users they input fileds in uppercase.
i looked for a parameter in a universe and in oracle.prm filed, and i didn´t find it.
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot rohy.
now i use that solution, but my intention is try to solve to all objects, not each object individualy, due to i have a lot of objects that a user can choose from a prompt, and i have a lot of filters to do that
i would like to change some parameter to do that at one time.
i investigate about it......
thanks again.
best regards Guillermo
have a nice day

How to Print All Content hidden in Text Field

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. I can't seem to find a solution that works
I am trying to get a text field, which is fixed in size on screen and which includes more text than visible (contains + sign in corner) to print all the text within it.
I'm assuming this can be done and I am simply not producing my form correctly.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Ken

There are some options:
- You can set the font size to Auto, but then you run the risk of the text being too small.
- You can set up empty fields at the end of the form and populate them with the text just before printing. That would require a custom-made script.

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

How to set fixed size for inputfile text field

Hi all,
I am using inputfile component to test file uploading so I created a simple upload page. When I finished upload the file, the input text field will "shrink" its size and change the size to adjust the file name. Is there any way to set a fix size for input text field?
Here is some part of the code:
<af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
<af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1">
<af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
columns="50"/>
</af:panelHeader>
<af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>
FileBean:
public void fileUpdate(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
RichInputFile inputFileComponent = (RichInputFile)valueChangeEvent.getComponent();
UploadedFile newFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
UploadedFile oldFile = (UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getOldValue();
Thanks,
Jerry

you can set columns attribute in af:inputfile. Please see highlighted area i have inserted to you code
<af:form id="f1" usesUpload="true">
<af:panelHeader text="File Uploader" id="ph1" columns = "34" >
<af:inputFile label="File to upload" id="if1" autoSubmit="true" valueChangeListener="#{fileBean.fileUpdate}"
value="#{fileBean.file}" partialTriggers="if1"
columns="50"/>
</af:panelHeader>
<af:commandButton text="Save" id="cb1"/>

How to set maxWidth in tabular form Text Field

Text Fields do not have maxWidth property in tabular forms. Is there any way to set maxWidth using the Element Attributes field? Or at least create a Validation process to let the user know why an error appears if he/she enters more than the allowed characters in a text field.
Thanks
Francisco.

>>
This information should appear in the user'smanual.
Francisco.There should be a working MAXLENGTH attribute that
defaults to the correct length based on the data
dictionary.Hi,
been trawling through the forums for the same problem, found this solution which works a treat (thanks! ). But agree that the software should actually allow you to define this anyway, rather than bodge, fool, amend, bridge or circumnagivate (sp?) the software.

Limit the amount of characters of a text field based on first digit

Hello and thanks in advance for your help!
I would like to limit the amount of characters of the text field based on the first digit of the number (the text field is only limited to a number format...no decimals, no commas).
For example, if the number begins with a 3, I would like to limit the text field to allow only ten characters. I have three scenarios but if I could get started with some code and what is the best place to add it (keystroke or validation?) I can take it from there. Thanks again for your help!!

I've written this code for you that does that. Use it as the field's custom Keystroke code:
// Validate that only digits are entered
if (event.change) {
    event.rc = /^\d+$/.test(event.change);
// Validate string length if it starts with 3
if (/^3/.test(AFMergeChange(event))) {
    event.rc = AFMergeChange(event).length <= 10;
    if (!event.rc) app.alert("If the number starts with \"3\" it may not be longer than 10 digits.",1); // optional error message
You can duplicate the second part of it for additional conditions, but keep in mind that this code won't even let you remove the first character in the field if the result is an invalid one.
For example, if you enter "234567890123456" then you can't remove the "2" at the start because that would result in an invalid number. You can remove any of the other digits, though, and when it's 10 digits or less then you could remove the starting "2" as well.

My text fields will not expand

I have a suggestion form that i created in adobe livecycle. The text fields will not expand when there is more text than what fits in the box. A scroll bar comes up when there is more text than what can fit, but this will not do. I have the 'expand to fit' checked and allow multiple lines. Any help?

Hi,
Have a look at this example of the process for making fields dynamic: http://assure.ly/g80MVY.
A couple of pointers:
The form will need to be saved as a Dynamic XML Form in the save-as dialog.
You should group objects that don't need to be flowed into a Positioned subform(s), as step 3 will move things around.
The page will need to be set to Flowed in the Object > Subform palette.
That should get you most of the way there.

How can I do field validation on the last two characters of a text field?

I have a text field. The user is required to enter the last two characters as numbers. I want to apply validation on this field. How can i achieve the same?
EX: If the user enter ABCDE, an error messgae stating the last two digit should be numeric.
I tried using the below in the field validation which did not work.
(0+Right([<ExternalSystemId>],2)) > 0 AND (0+Right([<ExternalSystemId>],2)) < 99.
Any ideas would help?

Try this-
FindOneOf(Right([<Field1>],"2"),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz")=0

How To: Extract first three characters of a text field

Greetings --
What is the best method for extracting the first three
letters of a text field?
I need to extract the first three letters of a text field (in
this case Last Name),
so I add it to other components so as to create an
identification number for
a person.
This identification number that needs to be created is
comprised of the
person's date of birth, last 4 numbers of the social security
number and
the the first three letters of the person's last name.
Example:
==> Birthdate: 11/15/45
==> Last 4 SSN: 6654
==> Last Name: Smith
ID Number would be:
==> 1115456654SMI
Leonard B

That should do the trick:
I put your values in variable, just replace the names, as
needed
<cfset birthdate = "11/15/45">
<cfset ssn = "41646562121216654">
<cfset lastname = "Smith">
This deletes all the / from your birthday string (if it is a
string!) and puts it into the id variable:
<cfset id = replace(birthdate, "/", "", "All")>
This takes the last 4 letters/digits of your social security
number string and adds it to the id:
<cfset id = id & right(ssn,4)>
This takes the first thre letters/digits from your last name
variable, puts it in upper case and adds it to the id string
<cfset id = id & ucase(left(lastname,3))>
Hope it helps.

How to "encapsulate" a data from a text field in a JSP form

Hi. I'm trying to make a user's registration jsp page and I'm not sure how I could get the data from a JSP form from the user and store that into some variable that I could later pass to a query to modify the database. I've been using a JavaBean, but I get null values for all the fields of the jsp page. That's logical, since I cannot find a method that will read the user's input and store that into some variable. In my JavaBean, I have get and set methods that will return a String for each of the form fields such as first name and email. The set method will have in a String as a parameter to set that field value (whichever field it is) to the value of the input parameter, but I don't know if there is a method or a way to read and store the values entered by the user into the jsp form. This is a code snippet of the jsp form:
<TR><TD>First Name: </TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="fname"
VALUE="<%= newUser.getFirstName() %>"></TD></TR>
Here, the getFirstName() method simply returns the value of a String value related to the user's first name, which is initialized as null in the JavaBean. newUser is the name of the JavaBean that I'm using.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

haha...nevermind this question also guys...I found out that I could use the request.getParameter("some_String") method with my JavaBean to read and store data entered by the user in a text field.

HELP!! How do I create hyperlink in a text field?

Hi!
I've been going through the message boards and I am not finding my answer. I have created a form utilizing LiveCycle. I have made the form so that it can be fillable via Reader Extended PDF. I need to be able to put a link in a text field that the next user can just click on it, and it will take them to a document in SharePoint for review. I've tried changing the text field to rich text in LiveCycle, but the steps to add the link in the PDF is too lengthly and not friendly. Once I finally get it to put the link in, the end user cannot just click on it. They have to take additional steps. Someone on the boards mentioned something about putting a button next to the field that will convert the text of the link in the previous text field to a link, but I cannot find those instructions or understandable instructions. The management wants it to be where you just click on the link. How do I do this? I am not a techie, so I need instructions in layman's terms.
PLEASE HELP!
Thank you!
Maribeth

I'm in the same boat as you, inasmuchas I taught myself LC. I've tried to replicate your issue. I'm trying to understand where the issue actually lies.
First, I created a new document to test. I dragged the text field onto the document and stretched it to accomodate what I was going to type and entered: http://www.google.com/something
This works as intended.
Next I tried a link similar to yours in our own intranet: http://intranet/WebPages/support.aspx
That also worked.
Now, for what you're actually working with: a SharePoint document.
I tried to paste a link to a document that I created on our Sharepoint site. The link failed! I noticed that the end of the link was truncated (something like 7 characters). So, I tried a shorter link. That worked!
What else is happening when they click the link? Are they simply being asked to "check out" the document? Are you getting an error message like "an error has occured while opening the page"?

How to calculate the size of a Text Field?

Is there a way to calculate the number of characters allow in a Text Field? If a uer type over this number of characters a popup window will appear telling the user that he/she has too much texts. Of course I could use the Limit Length, but I have to manually put texts into this text field and count them. If the Limit Lenth number is too small, the texts does not fill the whole text field. If the number is too big then the texts does not get printed.

There would be no easy way to do this. You'd need to do some pretty fancy calculations, it would all depend on the size of the field, what font is used, the font size, whether it's been bolded, underlined, italicized, etc etc.
What are you trying to accomplish? Make it so that the user can type in the text field until it fills and then have it stop without scroll bars coming up to allow him to keep typing?

How do I add color to a text field?

I'm setting up a simple Flash contact form that sends a mail message using PHP. I'm using the Text Input and Text Field components and would love to style the background tint of the text fields so as to not be white. I want to be able to enter my own hexidecimal number. This seems like it should be easy, like a button or property or something, but I can't figure it out. Please help!
Using Flash CS4 on a Mac, in an ActionScript 2.0 file. (Can make a 3.0 file if necessary).

I'm not sure how to create an input textfield other than dragging out a component. What's the difference?
Also, this is a difficult one to search for, since all of my attempts have given me answers on how to style the text in the field, but not the background color of the field.
Any good tutorials on how to create custom skins?

Special Characters in Long Text Field of FI Documents

Hi,
Users entered the following in the long text field of a FI document:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment (Refer to XXX/YY-053/2009, XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
The default editor used is the one which looks like the MS Word.
When we changd to the other editor (Goto > Change Editor), we see the following:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment to Thailand (Refer to"
"XXX/YY-053/2009<(>,<)> XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
How did "<(>,<)> " comes about?
Any ideas?

I'd probably use a regex of "allowed" characters rather than a list of "disallowed" characters, but thats just a difference in approach.
I would probably use a regular expression - alphanumeric is fairly easy to check
String value = request.getParameter("enteredField");
boolean alphaNumericOnly = value.matches("\\w+");As a matter of being nice to the user, you can also do this check in javascript on the client side.
ALWAYS validate server side.
Optionally validate client side to give the user a better experience (less round trip requests)
