How to place a degree symbol in a JLabel

I'm trying to place a degree symbol in a JLabel with the following code
JLabel label = new JLabel ("<html>&#186</html>");but all I'm getting is the literal, not the degree symbol.

It's close enough, but here's what I really have:Turns out it wasn't quite close enough.
The <html> tag has to be the very first thing in the
string.
So, change this to:
final String DEGREE_SYMBOL = "�";
String degrees...
String minutes...
String labelStr = "<html>" + degrees +DEGREE_SYMBOL + minutes + "'";
JLabel label = new JLabel (labelStr);
That got 1 of the 3 instances working, so I'm narrowing it down (thank you). I'll just have to keep plugging until I get it figured out.
thanks for your help.

How to place a partbox symbol in a header as a global item

Here's a score writing question.
Is is possible to place a Partbox symbol in the header on the 1st page of printed parts as a global item as one would for text. I'm thinking of things such as the tempo indicators or the swing eighths symbol. I can get the symbols into the header OK but they are not treated as a global item and I have to enter them on the individual parts
thanks

How do I create a degree symbol (as in 33 degrees ) using vi

Well, it should be exactly the same way as you would create it in any other application such as your shell.
On my Sun keyboard i can get a degree symbol by using Meta-0 (thats a zero :-)

How can I make the degree symbol in Apple TV?

Specifically I want to add a user in Flickr whose name includes the degree symbol. Thanks.

While I would still be curious whether this is possible in Apple TV, I was able to accomplish the task using Ipad Remote and holding the number 0.

Best way to insert Degree symbol?

Hello,
I have an inspection form set up for restaurant/health inspectors.    Often times during an inspection they need to enter temperatures of food and like to use the degree symbol.    They're running this form on a convertible tablet pc, so a normal keyboard is not available to them in tablet mode and when in laptop mode using the combination of ALT+0176 that's still a PITA because the keyboard doesn't have full number pad and the people using this form aren't the most computer literate people out there to be able to activate the Function keys to endable number pad keys and then enter an ASCII code many times during an inspection.
I was looking for suggestion on how to inforporate something into the form to assist in entering the degree symbol in any text field they are in at the position of the cursor.
The idea's I've though of are:
1.) A command button that inserts the symbol, but I'm afraid clicking the button would lose focus of the destination field and there'd need to be a lot of scripting to remember which field was the last one they were in to insert it in the correct one.
2.) A Button or On Load event which somehow inserts the degree symbol into the Windows clipboard, but during the course of an inspection they might copy and paste something else thus clearing it out.
3.) Some kind of auto-replace of text. Not sure if that's possible in an adobe form. E.g. if they type 'deg.' have the form auto replace it to '°'.
4.) A special key press. Not sure if Adobe can listen to a special key sequence not used by Adobe and Windows, say CTRL + D which when pressed inserts a degree symbol in the current location.
5.) Any way to place a special icon on Adobe's tool bar to insert the degree symbol at the currently location?
Those were some ideas I'm thinking of. Many are probably dead ends.   If you had this problem, how would you approach it?
Thanks!

Magnus, thanks for not giving up on this yet.   In your last post that is making some progress, but there's also some con's too.
1.) That's running off of an 'On Exit' even which inserts the ºF at the end of the text.   In some cases that would work, but it others it would not work, like in this text field example of real data:      "White fish was a 51°F. *Corrected* Witnessed manager throw away fish."
With your proposed java, that would put the °F at the end of the line when it needs to be in the middle of the line.
2.) Many types of written text can be put in these fields. Not every scenario would involve a temperature, so having it pop up your popupmenu might get in their way when it is not needed.
What I'm thinking needs to be done is to somehow insert the °F exactly wherever the cursor is at the time when it is triggered to do so (how to trigger it?).
OR
On an On Exit event searcingh for and replacing the text they have entered.   Perhaps replace ' deg' with '°F' so that if they type:
      "White fish was a 51 deg. *Corrected* Witnessed manager throw away fish."
When the On Exit fires it replace deg with °F so that the text field now reads:
      "White fish was a 51°F. *Corrected* Witnessed manager throw away fish."

How to create a selectable symbol window/list/etc...

Hello,
I am brand new to Flash and Actionscript and have a project I
want to do.
I would like to have a graphic area where I can display a
list of graphics/symbols that could be dragged
on to the stage or to a Movie clip to create a layout and do
this within flash. There are a couple of sites
I have seen that do what I would like to do.
In essence: I would like to have a window that would show a
scrolling list of symbols/objects that would
be populated (2 symbols/graphics side by side) and any number
of symbols loaded in the list/window.
Then to be able to drag one of the symbols to the stage or to
a movie clip. Being a beginner I don't know if
it is possible on a web page to have to SWF files on a page
and if you could drag between them?
A site where this is done is www.sugarhousebanner.com with
their banner designer tool. I would like to do
something a bit similar. Any input on how to do this in just
getting started would be appreciated.
The 2nd item I have is also seen on this same site. I am not
sure how they do the zooming in and out and not have the whole
stage affected if all the controls for the graphics, fonts, etc...
are on the stage also.
Thank you very much.

Passing Degree Symbols in a Parameter Field

We have a parameter on a crystal report configured to look up data from the database to allow a user to select values.
If someone selects a value that has a degree symbol in it then tries to run the report we get a parameter not valid error.
We see the error when we run the report in Crystal Developer as well.
We are using Crystal XI reporting against an Oracle 10g unicode database. We are using an ODBC connection.
Are we using the right driver for this?

Hi Dan Robinson,
As you said, the report parameter is not able to identity / compare Degree symbol with your database field.
If it is a number field then try the follwoing in record selection formula, if not please place your formula to check the syntax.
Totext(DatabaseField} = Totext({?ParameterValue})
Thanks,

Degree symbol conversion export inx

Hi,
A while ago I exported from Indesign cs2 file to inx. (I may have receved an inx file from a client with CS3 but can't remember exactly)
When I opened the inx file again all the degree symbols/glyphs converted to Dgr or something like that.
I can't find the file that did this but I need to find out why it happened.
Has anyone seen something simlar like this when exporting/opening inx files with glyphs in them.
Can you explain why this happens? I need to explain to people to check this hasn't happened but I need to know why it happens in the first place.
Is it an XML Issue when going from CS3 to CS2 or something?
Thanks

Keystroke a degree º Symbol

How can you Keystroke the degree "º" symbol
this does not work
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
make new document
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextEdit"
keystroke "8"
keystroke "0" using option down
end tell
end tell
it is getting the zero from the 10 key pad and not the "0 / )" key
Thanks
darock

Technically, neither option-0 or option-K are the degree symbol (option-o is technically 'masculine ordinal indicator' an option-k is 'ring above, as in å).
The correct character for the degree symbol is option-shift-8. However, neither 'keystroke "8" using {option down, shift down}', nor 'keystroke "*" using option down' has the desired result.
The only solution I've found is to use the key code command rather than the keystroke, and this seems to work:
tell application "TextEdit" to activate
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
tell process "TextEdit"
keystroke "8"
key code 28 using {option down, shift down}
end tell
end tell
I can't explain why keystroke "8" using {option down, shift down} doesn't work, though.

How do I play a symbol timeline from the main timeline

Ive created a box, turned it into a symbol called box,
Inside box i have a left to right animation with auto play turned off.
I then went back to the main stage, clicked the box, added action, on click to play, yet it does nothing.
How do i Play the symbols timeline?

On click handler for the symbol use
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("nameofsymbol").play();
or
sym.getSymbol("nameofsymbol").play();
replace the italics with the literal name of the symbol as it appears in the Elements panel.
Some API details found here (http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/edgeanimate/api/current/index.html) in the Work With Symbols section.

How to place one column under another column in obiee report?

Hi all,
I am new to obiee, so need some help from obiee experts. Can anyone tell me how to place one column data under another column in obiee report?
i need the report to be as below
category total_students Course_enrollment Test_attended pass_test
total N % N % N %
all students ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Ethnicity
Asian ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
African American ###### ## ## ## ## ## ##
white ######
Filipino ######
Gender
Male ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
Female ##### ## ## ## ## ## ##
and similarly for other columns
where ethnicity, gender are columns in the table and Course_enrollment, Test_attended, pass_test are calculated columns.
Please help me to create a report as above if anyone knows how to do it.
Edited by: Shailaja on Jul 19, 2010 12:23 AM

Two ideas I can think of:
1) Create multiple pivot tables and then display them one under the other
2) Create multiple measure columns such as "male_amt", "female_amt", "white_amt", "asian_amt", "black_amt", etc. for all the columns you need. Then you could simple stack them in a single pivot table.
Option #2 might give you the prettiest results - but also requires a lot more maintenance (for instance, if you reclassify ethnic groups, you'd have to go through the reports to add additional metric columns).
Hope this helps,
Scott

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
My email is : [email protected]
Best regards,
Tao

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.
