How to set the textfield not to scroll the text?

hi to all....
what will i do if i want the textfield not
to scroll the text if the text is very long..
what if i wanted the text will just display
"this is a test..." a three dots will be display
before reaching the end of the textfield...
i tried geting the width of the text but what
if the string contains so much letters such as letter
"i" good if it will contain letters with big spaces to
occupy.. but if letter "i" it would be small...
pls. tell me.
thanks in advance
Kent

well, u can do this...
catch the keyPressed event which is generated when u press the VK_RIGHT button ( ->, right arrow key) (which u will for scrolling) and consume the event as soon as u reach the width of the text field.
bye

How to Set the Text of an Onstage TextField?

I'm trying to set an onstage TextField instance's "text" property, while maintaining embedded fonts and its onstage appearance.
Problem Encountered: Text doesn't show up when setting text via ActionScript on an on-stage TextField w/ embedded text.
Workaround: Create and assign a TextFormat object:
defaultTextFormat = new TextFormat('Arial', 100, 0x000000, true, true);
Annoyance: This defeats the purpose of styling text with the IDE.
Possible Solution: Import the embedded font to the library and export for ActionScript?

My problem was actually that merely setting the *text* property caused my dynamic TextField w/ embedded font to not display any text. BUT, I just re-tested this with a new file, and the problem doesn't occur. Only thing I can think of is -- my FLA was created with an older version of Flash... possibly MX 200(4?). Could this be the issue?

How to set the text of a cell in Numbers to vertical direction? Tks.

Hi
In Numbers, please tell me how to switch the text of a cell to vertical direction?
Tks.

Hi Kyle,
In Numbers, nothing having to do with a table can be rotated. (In Pages an entire Table can be rotated, but not text within a Table.)
There have been many suggestions posted here over the life of iWork for vertical labels. Most fall into three categories:
1. Type one letter, Option-Return, type another letter, Option-Return, and so forth.
2. Type label in a Text Box, rotate the box, position the box over the table, covering the cell where you need a label.
3. Create a PDF graphic with rotated text and insert it into table cell as Background Fill.
The third option is clearly the best. The steps for option three are:
Insert Text Box
Type label into the box
Rotate the text box
Select the text box (not the text inside the box)
Command-C
Switch to Preview.app
Command-N
Command-C
Switch to Numbers
Click on Cell where the label goes
Command-V
It sounds worse than it is. You can reuse the Text Box so you don't end up with a sheet full of them.

Jerry

How to set the text as an image

Is there a way to set the text to automatically change to an image? (In preference panel, you select "Sow text imaging indicator", then there comes a yellow sign over the text, meaning that the text will be a graphic in the browser) Some text does change to a graphic but some does not. It´s very annoying cause the text sometimes changes in the browser, some don´t. So is there not a way to select which text changes to a graphic?

Okay I made a new text box and changed the font until the little graphic appeared. Now I know, but, I also know that a lot of the font I tried would not be on someone else's computer (specially windows) but it would not have converted I guess it would have been substituted. That is really not good because the look would be very different. Should we force a conversion then to insure that it looks like what we want? Then we no longer have any text we have mostly graphics and is that not bad to be found by the search engines?
This is so complicated!

How to set the text in a jtextfield to align to the left

A quick simple question. I'm populating a jtextfield with text pulled from a record. However the text is too long to fit in the jtextfield and the alignment is set to the right rather than the left. How do I set the alignment of the text in the jtextfield to be on the left, so that the first character of the string is shown?
I've tried using
setHorizontalAlignmnet(JTextField.LEFT),
but my text still appears right justified in the jtextfield. It means that the user has to scroll the text to go to the beginning of the string, rather than the usual of scrolling the right to go the end of the string.
This has really gotten me stumped!

HI thanks for the help. Unfortunately it doesn't work if the text is longer than the actual textfield. The textfield would still show the end of the text, rather than showing the beginning of the text.
For e.g.
|est text|
is show rather than
|test tex|
which is my desired result.
Any further suggestions please.

In general it’s not possible to change the UI display. But you could try the Windows settings.
Go to the control panel and check dpi scaling under Appearance or Display.
It’s not uncommon to see a setting of 125% or higher to improve screen readability but PSE9 requires a dpi of 96 or 100%
Whilst the Editor Menu will appear at 120% the Organizer Menu (and the advanced button in downloader) won’t. Sometimes the mouse or tool cursors are distorted.
Try a setting of 115% or 116% otherwise 100%. A common display resolution, notably for notebooks/laptops, and netbooks is 1024 x 768 but PSE9 requires a screen height of 800 for full functionality.
Unfortunately you may need to keep changeing back and forth. It's not perfect.

How to set the text for commandNavigationItem in nodeStamp facet of train?

When I use the af:train w/o ndeStamp facet, the train displays proeprly with text next to each nod, e.g.,
<af:train id="train" var="node" value="#{controllerContext.currentViewPort.taskFlowContext.trainModel}" layout="vertical"/>
but when I use a nodeStamp, then my text dissappears. e.g.,
<af:train id="train" var="node"
value="#{controllerContext.currentViewPort.taskFlowContext.trainModel}"
layout="vertical">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:commandNavigationItem text="#{node.text}" actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.createModelFromTables.onSelectTrainStop}"/>
</f:facet>
</af:train>
Also, jDeveloper complains that it Reference "#{node.text}" not found. Likewise for #{node.readOnly}, etc. Note I also tried #{node.label} as described in the code example [adf:train|http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/tagdoc/af_train.html]

How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above

Hi Guru's,
I have a requirement like, There were two items on the form name email Id, Confirm email Id.
I have to ristrict the user to not to copy from email Id item.. make him/her to enter the value into confirm email id item field manually.
How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above item and paste it in this item.
Please help.
Thanks!!

Just an opinion here, but that is about the dumbest requirement I have ever seen.
I am always annoyed by web sites that ask me to enter my email twice. I ALWAYS copy the email address from the original entry and paste it into the second one.
People enter their email addresses so often, it takes a real klutz to not get it right. And what makes you think that if they enter it twice, that they won't enter it wrong both times anyway???

How to set the table input in Query template?

Hi all.
I need to call a Bapi_objcl_change, with import parameter and a table as an input. I have done this, in BLS. I have set the table input in the
form of xml. In BLS, I get the output(the value gets change in SAP R3, what i have given in BLS). But if i set the same xml structure in
query template, I didn't get the output. Table input parameter does not take that xml source. How to set the table input in Query template?
can anyone help me?
Regards,

Hema,
You probably need to XML encode the data so that it will pass properly and then xmldecode() it to set the BAPI input value.

SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

The radio button Service should not be visible.
Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
Kindly help out me ASAP.

The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
On the next line enter the default value within this range. At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D". This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record. You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

How to set the background for all components?

hi
Does anybody know how to set the DEFAULT background color in an application.. I need it because in jdk 1.3 the default bgcolor is grey and in 1.5 it is white.. and I wish white as well.. so to make it also white in jdk 1.3 I need to use the (a bit annoying) anyContainer.setBackground( Color.white ); and these are lots in my app.. So my question is: is there such an overall class with a function (say UIManager.setComponentsBackground( Color color ) ) for such a purpose?
any tip or link would be greatly appreciated
