How to set focus in text box at server side

Hi,
I have small problem , i have a text box in form , which is get validated at server side in servlet , if it found some thing wrong then it throws exception , i want that when an exception is thrown it should set focus for that perticular text box. so what should i write to perform such a activity.

Get hold of the element ID in the servlet (and keep the code conventions) and print it out to some Javascript function which does a focus during the onload.
There's an example of focus/highlight using JSP/Servlet/Javascript in this article: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/07/dao-tutorial-use-in-jspservlet.html]. Also see the screenshots at the very bottom.

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes?

How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes? Sometimes as a page is loading, I scroll down the page...only to have the page jump back to where there is a text box, with a blinking cursor, after the page is finished loading. It is an annoying feature and I want to turn it off.

Some pages use an onload event to set the focus to a text area or search field.
You can try NoScript to see if that blocks it.

How to focus two text boxes at a time?

Hi,
I am developing a packet analyzer software. In that, I need to focus two text boxes as I select a treeview item.
I am using a following code:
delegate void voiDelegate();
private void click(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<object> e)
TreeViewItem t;
t =(TreeViewItem) tvMain.SelectedItem;
StackPanel s = (StackPanel)t.Header;
List<TextBlock> l = new List<TextBlock>(3);
foreach (TextBlock children in s.Children)
l.Add(children);
string ch = l[3].Text;
string[] sp = ch.Split('-');
int te = Convert.ToByte(sp[1]) - Convert.ToByte(sp[0]) + 1;
PacketDisplay1.SelectionStart = PacketDisplay2.SelectionStart = Convert.ToByte(sp[0]);
PacketDisplay1.SelectionLength= PacketDisplay2.SelectionLength = te;
voiDelegate giveFocusDelegate = new voiDelegate(giveFocus);
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(giveFocusDelegate, new object[] { });
private void giveFocus()
PacketDisplay1.Focus();
PacketDisplay2.Focus();
but here I am able to focus only on second Textbox. I need to focus on both textboxes. How can I achieve this?
My requirement is like this
thank you.

The documentation is pretty clear on this: There can be only one
element on the whole desktop that has keyboard focus:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969768%28v=vs.110%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396.
There is logical focus and there is keyboard focus. There can be multiple elements that have logical focus in an application but only a single element can have keyboard focus. Please refer to the link above for details.
If you want to highlight text in two different TextBoxes at the same time, you could replace the TextBox elements with RichTextBox elements, and set the background of a text range. Please refer to the following thread for more information about how you could
do this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18015380/how-can-i-change-the-selected-text-background-color-in-rich-text-box-wpf-c-sharp
Here is an example for you:
public partial class Window6 : Window
private static TextPointer GetTextPointAt(TextPointer from, int pos)
TextPointer ret = from;
int i = 0;
while ((i < pos) && (ret != null))
if ((ret.GetPointerContext(LogicalDirection.Backward) == TextPointerContext.Text) || (ret.GetPointerContext(LogicalDirection.Backward) == TextPointerContext.None))
i++;
if (ret.GetPositionAtOffset(1, LogicalDirection.Forward) == null)
return ret;
ret = ret.GetPositionAtOffset(1, LogicalDirection.Forward);
return ret;
internal string Select(RichTextBox rtb, int offset, int length, Color color)
// Get text selection:
TextSelection textRange = rtb.Selection;
// Get text starting point:
TextPointer start = rtb.Document.ContentStart;
// Get begin and end requested:
TextPointer startPos = GetTextPointAt(start, offset);
TextPointer endPos = GetTextPointAt(start, offset + length);
// New selection of text:
textRange.Select(startPos, endPos);
// Apply property to the selection:
textRange.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.BackgroundProperty, new SolidColorBrush(color));
// Return selection text:
return rtb.Selection.Text;
public Window6()
InitializeComponent();
//set text
PacketDisplay1.Document.Blocks.Clear();
PacketDisplay1.Document.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run("some text....")));
PacketDisplay2.Document.Blocks.Clear();
PacketDisplay2.Document.Blocks.Add(new Paragraph(new Run("some other text....")));
//set background
this.Select(this.PacketDisplay1, 0, 4, SystemColors.HighlightBrush.Color); //select "some"
this.Select(this.PacketDisplay2, 0, 4, SystemColors.HighlightBrush.Color); //select "some"
There is no way to achieve this by simply selecting text in two different TextBoxes and there is no way to set the background of a text range in a ordinary TextBox so you must use a RichTextBox here.

How to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text

how to set the default text in an input box or a label to be a predefine, multiline text. In other words how to break the line in the code of a text box.
thank you

There are a couple of ways of doing this:
If you're editing on the canvas, press Shift + Enter.
If you're working in Express View (see lower right hand corner of Project Siena), you'll need to copy a hard return from another app such as Notepad.
I believe a better implementation of hard returns are in the list of requested functionality that you can find here:

How to remove white bounding text box

Hi,
I'm a multimedia student and need to create a portfolio in Director and would like to know how to remove the white text box when writing text content? I already have a background and would like to have plain black or white writing on the bakground, do not want the white bounding box. How do I remove that?
Thanks

It really depends upon what kind of text member you used, but in general, you would select the sprite on the stage, then go to the Sprite tab of the Property Inspector. Find the Ink setting and change it to Matte or Background Transparent.

How do I Expand the Text Box in Mail Stationery?

I have a question about using stationery in Mail. Is there anything I can do to make the text box in certain templates to hold more content? It seems that, in some templates (like Bamboo, for example), the text box expands automatically as more content is keyed in. Yet, in the Tack Board template, for example, the text box does not expand beyond what seems to be a fixed length for content. How can I get the text box in Tack Board to expand for additional content?

Please check text input state defined , also if the form is inserted in any container then try to test out the form with different text input boxes in a new page.
Additionally , check the mid-hieght of text inserted in frame.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Not very user-friendly IMHO, but ok here goes:
Place a picture of the band in your body background's CSS
with repeat:
no-repeat. Then add a scrolling division to your html page -
like so:
<div align="right">
<div style="font-family:'Verdana', 'Arial', 'Sans-serif';
font-size:12px;
color:#FFFFFF; text-align: left; background-color:#000000;
border:2px solid;
overflow: auto; padding:10px; width:auto; height:200px;
border-color:
#333333;"><h3>Your heading goes
here</h3><br><br> More text goes
here<br><br> and more text goes
here...</div>
<p> </p>

How can i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBOX

Hi,
Thank you in advance for your time, the question is how do i pin a text box to the bottom of a VBox, i dont know what code to add kindly help me out. The code i have with me is
VBox {
translateX: 10
translateY: 10
spacing: 20
content: [
Label {
text: "TextBox:"
TextBox {
layoutInfo: LayoutInfo { minWidth: 100 width: 150 maxWidth: 200 }
] //contents
//VBox
now the text box has to go to the bottom of the VBox even if the VBox has other objects or if its resized.
Regards,
Kibu

Vbox, acts much like a linear layout like in other languages.
Just keep your declared textbox at the bottom of your content (content :[] ), then the text box will continue to get pushed further down your view, as you add other controls to your content.
layoutX and layoutY will just increase your spacing from the previous declared control in that content.

How do I turn off text box in pages?

how do I turn off text box in pages?

Thank you Peter and Jerry.
Screen shot above. I know it's not much, but there it is.
In actual fact I can make the text box bigger, but I just want to have the option of not having a text box.
It should be simple, and not actually need a screen shot: just simple instructions. It seems pretty fundamental to me. Does anyone know how to do this?
Best, Angela

How can I make the »Text Box« blend with the background?

I have a problem that my document is almost finished, but still I cannot solve one basic problem. My “Text box” fields are still selectable (I get the blue select/resize buttons around the text) when I click on them when reviewing my document in the reader. In this “Text box” fields there is text that is not meant to be changed by the end user. It should just be shown (blend with the background) and not selectable. This resize buttons around the text box don’t work and don’t allow the end user to change the size but their presence alone drives me crazy.
Should I use the “Stamp” tool in this case or is there a setting (with the text box tool) that I’m missing?

It seems that I found the solution. Is the only way to avoid the before mentioned edit box that I use the TouchUp Text tool to add text?

How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design

How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design? I mean is there any indication, where I will come to know so an so tex boxes are linked together?
Thanks in advance.

HI Peter,
well In Quark Express as as wrote earlier, that you can see other text frames highlighted immediately, after you select any of the text frame among the threaded text frames, say there are 5 text frames which are threaded together, even if I click on 2 nd or say 4th text frame, it shows me all the text frames highlighted which are threaded together, so If I am working in a catalog which has multiple pages, it's easy for me to see which text frames are threaded together, as if you make any text changes, say add or delete text in a text frame, the other text frames get affected by that. I mean text shifts accordingly, it's easy to track in Quark which text frames will get affected if I change something in a threaded frame.
Anyways, it seems this option is not available in In Design. That's fine. I am not in preview or Overprint previed mode.
Thanks for your help.
