You can access the text of an input box using the text propery of it. It will return a string
var str:String = inputBox.text;

How to use standard texts in smartforms

Hi Friends,
How to use standard texts in smartforms, ie in scripts we are using standard texts using tr so10.
thanks in advance,

sharma.

For long text
method1
Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to include text
then you can input text name/text object/text id/language
method2
create PROGRAM LINE node - use FM READ_TEXT to read it to a internal table
then use LOOP or TABLE node to display it
For TEXT module(For foreign language)
Tr-code:smartforms -- choose Text module(not choose form)--create a text module object
then enter smartform Create TEXT node- general attributes change text type to text module
input the text module name which created by above

How to use the text module in script

hi,
i script how to use the text modules and how to write the code in layout of the script?

Hi,
You canr use text modules in script. You have to use standard texts .
Standard text are maintained in SO10 transaction.
you can create translation text for other languages also . So based on logon language it will print translation text.
go to SO10
give textname it say Ztextname id as ST and language as EN
say create, then you will get editor there maintain your text and save it . then come back . Now change language (say for german DE) say create and eneter translation text and save it.
so now you have created a text called ztextname which you can use in your script.
Inorder to insert the texts in your script do as below
go to any window editor and select path
Insert->texts->symbols->standard symbols
then you will get popup in which you have to mention all the parameters that you have created earlier.
after inserting just change language EN to sy-langu

How to allow input text field to accept more than one "specific" answer.

Hi,
I am working for something and trying to create a type-box-based quiz for one of my classes, where an input text field can change it's border color if 2 or more words from an accepted word list is inputed.
For example, Say a list has possible answers: R,G, B, Y for the question "Name 2 colors".
I want to create an input text box where the border of the box will change color if any 2 letters (in the above list) are entered into it.
I've tried setting up a variable NumberSuccesses and setting it so that the number increases by 1 for each letter entered e.g.
if (Ex.text == "R");
NumSuc = NumSuc +1; // the var NumSuc has already been defined earlier in the code
If (Ex.text ''G")
NumSuc = NumSuc + 1
if (NumSuc == 2)
Ex.borderColor = 0x0000FF
but that didn't work.. and I tried doing it with another function which I use for multiple input boxes like if there were boxes A, B, C. I could set up a general function where if the correct answers were entered into A, B, an C respectively, only then will say, a checkmark show up using a
EnableCheckmark (); type function. Not sure how to do it if it's the same text input box though. Also just tried adding it into the same function re.
If (Ex.text == "R" + "G")
Ex.borderColor = 0x0000FF
.. Does anyone know what else I can do?

The solution of Nishu with Evaluation Logic:
//These Are the Possible Answers
var solutions:Array = new Array("A","B","C","D");
function testInput(_inputText:String):Boolean
    //the delimiter could also be a comma, here it is a space
    var inputStringArray:Array = _inputText.split(" ");
    var counter:Number = 0;
    for (var i:int=0; i<inputStringArray.length; i++)
        for (var j:int=0; j<solutions.length; j++)
            if (inputStringArray[i]== solutions[j])
                counter++;
    if (counter >=2)
        trace("true");
        return true;
    else
        trace("false");
        return false;
//Textfield with name input_txt on stage
input_txt.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, answerTxtInp);
// The function that will be called by the event listener
function answerTxtInp(txtEvent:TextEvent):void
     // depending on the possible answers of characters, change the border color
     if(testInput(input_txt.text)){
         input_txt.borderColor = 0xFF0000;
     else{
         input_txt.borderColor = 0x000000;

Using input text to alter movieclip

I have a number of movieclips which I would like to move when a particular value is entered into an input text box. The movieclips simply need to grow longer when a value is added to the input text. eg '10' would cause 'this.movieclip1._xscale += 20;'
The closest to an explanation of how to achieve this that I could find was here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/140884#140884, but I dont understand what an 'associative array' is!?
Any ideas anyone? Thanks, R.

Ok, well I sorted out that bit of script to make it work with my files and it worked, but I think flash is having trouble handling my script.. I am trying to produce a 'clock' where numbers typed into the text box play a single movieclip (as above), the problem being that I am using 60 individual movieclips, and therefore 60xthe 'if ' function code above, and I think it's having a problem as flash seems to get confused with a (seemingly random) part of my code way before I have added all the needed sections of code.
This is the code I am using (It's a very clumsy way of solving the problem but I am a basic as2 user!):
time.onChanged = function()
if(time.text >= 1201 && time.text < 1213) {
          line1._xscale += 20;
line1._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 1213 && time.text < 1225) {
          line2._xscale += 20;
line2._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 1225 && time.text < 1237) {
          line3._xscale += 20;
line3._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 1237 && time.text < 1249) {
          line4._xscale += 20;
line4._yscale += 20;
if((time.text >= 1249 && time.text < 1300)or(time.text >=0101 && time.text < 0102)) {
          line5._xscale += 20;
line5._yscale += 20;
   if(time.text >= 0102 && time.text < 0113) {
          line6._xscale += 20;
line6._yscale += 20;
   if(time.text >= 0113 && time.text < 0125) {
          line7._xscale += 20;
line7._yscale += 20;
   if(time.text >= 0125 && time.text < 0137) {
          line8._xscale += 20;
line8._yscale += 20;
    if(time.text >= 0137 && time.text < 0147) {
          line9._xscale += 20;
line9._yscale += 20;
    if((time.text >= 0147 && time.text < 0160)or(time.text >=0200 && time.text < 0202)) {
          line10._xscale += 20;
line10._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 0102 && time.text < 0113) {
          line6._xscale += 20;
line6._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 0102 && time.text < 0113) {
          line6._xscale += 20;
line6._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 0102 && time.text < 0113) {
          line6._xscale += 20;
line6._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 0102 && time.text < 0113) {
          line6._xscale += 20;
line6._yscale += 20;
if(time.text >= 0102 && time.text < 0113) {
          line6._xscale += 20;
line6._yscale += 20;
Where time.text is the input text box, line1, line2 etc are my movieclips (there are 60, but only the code for 6 here), and the number ranges are basically incriments of 12 as I am trying to use the time(12hr clock) digits as a number that I can then [ut into a number range that would play the appropriate movieclip.
Complicated I know but I have attached the file, which works if you enter 1234/1256/1250 etc, and it's a firly basic idea, but I think I am approaching it in the wrong way and am not sure how to work around it!

How to create input text of the node in AVL tree

Hi experts,
I create a simple AVL tree to display the sales order items, just two classes for one relationship. Like the left part on the screen in this program "DEMO_ABAP_OBJECTS_CONTROLS".
I want to let the node of the second class be maintained serial no., somthing like input field behind the node or double click the node, then show up the input field on another space on the same screen.
And there is a button on screen, I can do some check for the text of input field when pressing the button. If the input data is wrong , then show up the error message.
I have searched BCALV* in SE38, but i don't see anything helpful.
Plz give me some advice, thanks a lot!!
Regards,
Claire

To Kunjal and Uwe,
My AVL tree is declared like this:
Data: tree TYPE REF TO cl_gui_simple_tree.
The class is not "cl_gui_alv_tree" , so I can not use the code.
The code I create the node is the follwing:
CALL METHOD tree->add_nodes
EXPORTING table_structure_name = 'ABDEMONODE'
node_table = node_table.
And I looked the program that Uwe wrote, the tree is declared in class cl_gui_alv_tree, too.
I want to double click the node and appear a field that can be inputed text.
Is there any other way to do this with the class cl_gui_simple_tree?
Thanks for the advence help.
Claire

Using input text that's in a MC

Hi all -
Tearing my hair out on this, and it seems like it shouldn't be that difficult.
I've got an input text box (opAnswerTxt) that I've added to a movie clip (questAns) using AS3:
questAns.addChild(opAnswerTxt);
That's fine -- I'm able to type text into the text field. Now I need to trace this text. (Ultimately, I will want to capture the text in a variable and then reuse the text in a dynamic text field, but just tracing to make sure I can get the text first.)
I added a button (opSaveBtn) - also to the MC - and added an event listener to the button:
questAns.addChild(opSaveBtn);
opSaveBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveOpInput);
but can't seem to trace the input text. Here's what I'm using:
function saveOpInput(me:MouseEvent):void
trace (opAnswerTxt.text);
My output is the original default text I have in the text box, rather than the text I just typed in.
When I add the input text box to the stage, rather than to the MC, it works fine.
Note: I've tried targeting the instance -- see the following -- but I get an error.
trace (questAns.opAnswerTxt.text);
Also tried trace (MovieClip(root).questAns.opAnswerTxt.text) and that didn't work either.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
Miriam

Thanks for your quick response. You may be right on this. The MC (and child text box and button) are all within a loop that's parsing an external XML file.
Basically, I'm trying to create a "form". The questions are in the external XML file (so they can be updated by the customer later). I've got a loop that's parsing the XML file and creating an MC for each question element it finds. Each MC has a question text field (dynamic - populated from the XML), an answer text field (the input text field), and a save button. Here's the code:
for (var i:int = 0; i < opLen; i++)
//declare variables - the XML is loaded in the first frame - this all works fine
var opQuestionElement:XML = opQuestion[i];
var opQuestText:String = opQuestionElement;
var opQuestionsElement:XML = opQuestions[i];
var opQuestNum:int = opQuestion[i];
//add container to hold each q&a
questAns = new qAndAMC();
questAns.width = 575;
questAns.height = 200;
questAns.x = 0;
questAns.y = 0 + i * questAns.height;
containerOp.addChild(questAns);
questAns.name = "Q&A #" + (i+1);
//add question text
var opQuestionTxt:TextField = new TextField();
opQuestionTxt.multiline = true;
opQuestionTxt.wordWrap = true;
opQuestionTxt.defaultTextFormat = qTextFormat;
opQuestionTxt.embedFonts = true;
opQuestionTxt.htmlText = (i+1) + ". " + opQuestText.toString();
opQuestionTxt.width = 545;
opQuestionTxt.x = 5;
opQuestionTxt.y = 10;
questAns.addChild(opQuestionTxt);
opQuestionTxt.name = "OpQuestTxt " + (i+1);
trace(opQuestionTxt.name);
opQuestionTxtFieldList.push(opQuestionTxt);
//add answer input text box;
var opAnswerTxt:TextField = new TextField();
opAnswerTxt.type = "input";
opAnswerTxt.multiline = true;
opAnswerTxt.wordWrap = true;
opAnswerTxt.background = true;
opAnswerTxt.backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF;
opAnswerTxt.border = true;
opAnswerTxt.defaultTextFormat = qTextFormat;
opAnswerTxt.embedFonts = true;
opAnswerTxt.width = 545;
opAnswerTxt.height = 110;
opAnswerTxt.x = 10;
opAnswerTxt.y = 60;
opAnswerTxt.text = "Here's some text";
addChild(opAnswerTxt);
//add save btn
opSaveBtn = new saveButton();
opSaveBtn.x = 522;
opSaveBtn.y = 188;
opSaveBtn.buttonMode = true;
questAns.addChild(opSaveBtn);
opSaveBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, saveOpInput);
function saveOpInput(me:MouseEvent):void
trace (opAnswerTxt.text); //This currently traces "Here's some text", rather than what I type in
The two things I need to solve are:
1. I want to be able to "save" the input text in each of the input fields, so if the user navigates away from this frame, the text they input last time isn't lost. Ideally, I'd like all of the input text fields to display whatever text they entered last time -- but they should still be an input field so they can edit the text if they want.
2. I want to be able to print (or save to a text file) ALL of the question and answer text fields. I believe I need to create a separate print job MC for this?
Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!!

How to use apex_item.text in a collection or tabular form

Hello,
I have a table with table names. (simplified)
create table test (tab_nm VARCHAR2(30) )
Now I want to present this tables on a tabular form with a checkbox and a text item to put the short name for this table name.
So I was thinking in the way of
select apex_item.checkbox(1,ids) check,
tab_nm,
apex_item.text(2,c001) short_name
from test;
Ibut this doesn't work since the c001 column does not exist.
So I probably should go for a collection, but how do I do that and how to process the text put in in the text item?
Thanks

Hi Marc,
I think the purpose is different. I want to create a 3 column report with a checkbox to select the tables I want to use and because I do not store the shortname in the table I want the user to be able to give the shortnames himself for the selected tables.
So
checkbox tab_nm from table item( filled in by user but not stored in table)
x table 1 tab1
x table2 tab2
table3 tab3
writing this I 'm considering to save the short names because it can give conflicts if a shortname is used twice
Purpose is to generate tables, with sequences and triggers dynamically from the selected tables.

How to use input box LOV in query panel (search region)

Hi,
We are having JDeveloper version 11.1.2.4.0
In one of the JSF page, we are showing some data (absences).
Requirement is to add search region at the top so that user can filter the data, based on search parameters like Business Group, Job etc.
The search parameters are inter-dependent e.g. Job is dependent on Business Group. So when user selects some particular Business Group, Job search field should show jobs for that Business Group only.
This works fine we use Choice List for both Business Group and Job.
However since there are huge number of jobs, Job choice list makes page rendering very slow.
So we tried to use Input box with LOV for Job.
But now when job is selected in the LOV popup and returned to main page, job search field shows job id instead of job name.
Please note that our base VO (AbsencesVO) contains JobId attribute. We have added List of Values on JobId, which fetches Job Name through JobVO1 view accessor.
How to make Job LOV field show selected Job Name instead of ID? Kindly advise.
Thanks,
Vivek

Thanks Timo/Bangaram, for prompt replies
Timo, the link mentioned by you talks about showing IDs (DepartmentId, ManagerId etc.) in the search region. I need to show names in the form of Input box LOV.
Bangaram, as per your suggestion I tried using transient JobName attribute. However now when I select any value in the Job LOV popup and return to main page, it shows first Job Name in the Job Name search field.
Also when I click 'Search' button in Search panel, it shows error - Attempt to set a parameter name that does not occur in the SQL: BindJobName
Please note that I have added both JobName and JobId in the List configuration as you suggested.
In View criteria, I have removed previous item (condition) on JobId and added condition on JobName.(This is required because JobId condition shows JobId search field)
I also tried making JobName dependent on JobId..still same behaviour.
Kindly advise.
Thanks,
Vivek

How to use OTR Text!

Hi gurus,
I am using the CRM Survey Suite to create a Survey form.
I am supposed to create a PBO through which the OTR Texts will be displayed based on conditional checks.
I have also created the OTR Texts via transaction Sotr_edit and I am able to retrieve them via FM sotr_get_concept.
Pl. let me know how I can show them on the web page, i.e. my survey form.
I have searched and found that they can be used readily in BSP but how to use them in a Survey Form.
Regards
Atul

Hello
I am not sure whether we can assign it at the screen properties level. But you can do one thing, call the FM SOTR_READ_TEXT_WITH_KEY by passing the context of the SOTR you want to read and get the text associated back in the ENTRY structure.
You can have a I/O field which is output only on the screen. And in the program you can assign the OTR text to this I/O field so that the OTR text will be displayed.

Please note that in SqlPlus you can use '?' in stead of $ORACLE_HOME, and this works on Unix and Windows so if you want to execute $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql you can simply use:
on Unix sql> @?/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
on Windows sql> @?\rdbms\admin\catalog.sql
5.2.1 Explanation of installation steps
1. Connected to database as SYSDBA and create CTXSYS user:
Ctxsys user is created by calling following script:
@?/ctx/admin/dr0csys.sql <ctxsys> <system> <temp>
Where:
change_on_install - is the ctxsys user password
DRSYS - is the default tablespace for ctxsys
TEMP - is the temporary tablespace for ctxsys
This will create user CTXSYS and grants full privileges to CTXSYS in order to create and insert into result tables, execute callbacks, rewrite queries, and perform system cleanup. At this point CTXSYS will not own any objects.ss
2. Connected to database as CTXSYS and create all necessary objects
All necessary object are creates by calling following script:
connect CTXSYS/change_on_install
@?/ctx/admin/dr0inst <replace with $ORACLE_HOME>/ctx/lib/libctxx9.so;
Please not that you have to put full path to your ORACLE_HOME, for example home as paramter
On Solaris/Aix/Linux with $ORACLE_HOME of /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
@?/ctx/admin/dr0inst.sql /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ctx/lib/libctxx8.so
On HP-UX with $ORACLE_HOME of /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
@?/ctx/admin/dr0inst.sql /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ctx/lib/libctxx8.sl
Windows NT/2000 with D:\oracle\product\8.1.7
@?/ctx/admin/dr0inst.sql D:\oracle\product\8.1.7\bin\oractxx8.dll
This will installs all Oracle database objects required by the Oracle Text system. This includes:
a) Data dictionary tables, views, sequence, packages
b) Server management tables, views and packages
c) Dispatcher packages
d) Service queue objects
3) Install appropriate language-specific default preferences.
The next step is to install appropriate language-specific default preferences.When you use CREATE INDEX to create an index or ALTER INDEX to manage an index, you can optionally specify indexing preferences in the parameter string. There are seven preference classes:
- Lexer, defines the language being indexed. ( language specific )
- Wordlist, defines the expantion of stem and fuzzy queries. ( language specific )
- Stoplist, defines words and themes that are not be indexed. ( language specific )
- Datastore, defines document storage.
- Filter, defines standards for converion of documents to plaintext.
- Storage, defines the storage of the index tables.
- Section group, enables possibilities to define document sections.
There is script which creates language-specific default preferences for every language Oracle text supports in <ORACLE_HOME>/ctx/admin/defaults directory, such as English(US), Danish(DK), Dutch(NL), Finnish(SF), French(FR), German(DE), Italian(IT), Portuguese(PR), Spanish(ES), and Swedish(S). They are named in the form drdefXX.sql, where XX is the language code. To manually install US default preferences, for example, log into sqlplus as CTXSYS, and run 'drdefus.sql' as described below:
@?/ctx/admin/defaults/drdefus.sql
create user textuser identified by textuser
default tablespace users
temporary tablespace temp;
-- You must grant 'ctxapp' role to textuser
grant connect, resource, ctxapp to textuser;
connect textuser/textuser
drop table quick;
create table quick (
quick_id number
constraint quick_pk primary key,
text varchar2(80) );
insert into quick ( quick_id, text ) values (1,'The cat sat on the mat');
insert into quick ( quick_id, text ) values (2,'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' );
insert into quick ( quick_id, text ) values (3,'The dog barked like a dog');
commit;
create index quick_text on quick ( text )
indextype is ctxsys.context;
col text format a45
col s format 999

How to accept input Text in UpperCase?

Hi,
How to accept Character Text from users in UpperCase in inputText Field?
I am using ADF BC and Jdev10.1.3.1.
In forms world it is very simple ( setting the visual attributes ), I am searching for such simple solution in Jdev .
Regards,
Seshu.

Hi,
I'm using CSS for uppercase:
<af:inputText ... inlineStyle="text-transform: uppercase"/> Note this doesn't influences an internal value, just displays the value in upperscase.
To store the value in upperscase, you need for example to override setter method.
public void setCode(String value) {
    if (value != null) {
        value = value.toUpperCase();
    setAttributeInternal(CODE, value);
