IE vs FF interpretation of text objects.

I'm having a problem controlling the column headers when my reports are localized to other languages that translate to longer words vs. their English counterparts. My included example is in Chinese, and I've also run into the same problem with Russian.
[Field wrap example|http://www.tracewindham.com/fieldwrapproblem.jpg]
IE doesn't respect the text object area, and just lets the text run wild into the next field, but FF handles it nicely.
I've tried several ways to fix this:
1. Including '\n' in the resource string to force a page break, but it doesn't export right in rtf, because it basically double spaces whenever it hits a '\n'.
2. Including an html break in the resource key and setting the column header fields to be interpreted as HTML, but report generation fails with this setup in Chinese, maybe because it's a 2-byte language.
3. Including a blank space in the Chinese resource bundle to allow a place to break naturally(which is really still wrong because the Chinese language doesn't use spaces), and this is what my sample you're seeing is from.
<br>
Any solution I've tried doesn't look right in some language and/or some format. Does anyone have any ideas to handle this better?
Thanks,
Cameron

This problem is now a critical path issue for our company. If CR4E can not cleanly handle text object sizing due to language localization, then why even offer this feature? If a solution or workaround is not going to be offered, then we will be looking to other products for our BI needs.

One pair of radio buttons to control multiple text objects - Designer 8.0

Greetings - a big thank you in advance for any assistance. I have often found answers to my problems on this forum, but have been unable to find an answer to the following.
The short of it - is it possible to make a pair of radio buttons control the visibility of multiple text objects with the same name(I have had success in manipulating only a single text object with one pair of buttons)?
The long of it - I am trying to make a form bilingual based on the value of a radio button group to control the visibility of the text object in the selected language. When the user selects the language they wish to see, all the text objects in the form switch to that language. I am working with a dynamic PDF.
I have succeeded to a very limited extent in manipulating one text object by overlaying text objects in both languages, setting one object to "invisible" as default, and controlling that text objects visibility with the following JavaScript in the click event of the radio button group:
----- form1.#subform[0].ENG_JPN::click: - (JavaScript, client) -------------------------------------
if (ENG_JPN.rawValue == 1)///1 equals the value of on
{English.presence = "visible";}
else
{English.presence = "invisible";}
if (ENG_JPN.rawValue == 2)///2 equals the value of on
{Japanese.presence = "visible";}
else
{Japanese.presence = "invisible";}
endif
The problem is I need to manipulate the visibility of all text objects with the same name on the form with a single radio button group. I have tried writing the code as one does for the sum of a repeating field, ie. English[*].presence etc. however I get a C++ error in preview.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I am truly stumped - thank you for your time.

To access objects with the same name you need to deal with occurance numbers. If your object is called TextField then the 1st occurance will be TextField[0], the second occurance will be TextField[1] etc.....
The issue is that the [] in javascript are interpretted as an array element so you have to use the syntax: xfa.reolveNode("string") to get to your object names. In your case you would use:
xfa.resolveNode("TextField[1]").presence = "visible"
This string syntax allows you to use a var to hold the index number and is very useful with for loops where you want to set large numbers of objects. So if the index was held in the var i then your syntax would be:
xfa.resolveNode("TextField[" + i + "]").presence = "visible"
If the objects are in a repeating subform then the occurance numbers are on the subform and not the object. You can always get the expression to use by app.alert(objectname.somExpression). This will return the expression that you need to create.
Make sense?

Text object, 2 font styles

Text Object ,
ONE text object, 2 fonts styles?
(Q1) Is possible to handle this styles:
[Text1]
String: [Arial Font and Courier New Font]
(Q2) If can handle, in Formula, can do it this effect ?
Please!

Hello Looploop,
You won't be able to do this within a single text object but it can be done in a formula if you use HTML text. In the formula surround the string you want to display in Arial with HTML tags for arial font and the other portion of the string in HTML tags that output courier font. After you have placed the formula on the report right click on it > Format Field > Paragraph tab and select HTML Text for Text Interpretation.

How to create a text object at runtime?

Hi,
I am using crystal reports for visual studio 2010 and using c# to programming.
I need to create a text object in a specific section like section 2. and also I need to control the text object's position and text.
I tried to move a object like:
reportDocument1.ReportDefinition.Sections[j].ReportObjects<i>.Left = 0x8760;
but object's position doesn't change at all.
How can I do these (create a text object and change a object postion)?
Thanks

Hi Don,
Thank you.
I have downloaded a RAS ( report application Server ) sample.
The sample uses the Business Objects Enterprise XI release 2. I am using win 7 and crystal reports for vs2010. Can I use this version of crystal reports to create a text object at runtime? If not, what is the lowest version I have to purchase to achieve what I want?
Basicly I need following capabilities at runtime:
1) craete text objects, line objects, image objects.
2) change text object, line object and image object positions, sizes, values of text object. If can I like to be able to change font as well.
3) supress objects, sections.
4) change section's height

How can I align a text object by the visible text and NOT by its bounding box?

Illustrator CS4.
I am trying to align some text to the center of the artboard. The bounding box is bigger than the text, so when I try to align it to the artboard it doesn't actually center align the artwork as I need it to. The text is needing to be aligned with another text object, so I can't just center align the text and then align to the artboard (which would eliminate the bounding box problem, I think). To make matters worse, the text I want to align has a stroke.
The only way I know to currently align the text properly is to convert it to outlines. This is what I've done, but I need something better. I want to be able to have my illustrator file that has all editable text and then be able to make a separate identical file with all text converted to outlined paths. The only thing holding me back right now is that I can't get the exact alignment while everything is still as text.

The solution is to simple to believe and probably why you over looked it.
You make two text frames to exactly the height and width of the text. You position the text in the relative location and then group the text frames then center that group on the artboard.
Like such:
If you ever want to add text that should be no problem but you have to re center.

Error message while creating text object

I am trying to create a text object and text id's for an application. I go to se75 to do this and make a text object called ZABC and upon save I get an informational message saying the following:
Observe name ranges: Y,Z for customers, J_NC for partners, A..X for SAP
When I click the green checkbox, it pops up another box saying the object is not within the valid name range. Save anyway?
I tried creating one with Z_ABC and that came up with the same thing. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Josh

Read the information message carefully. Then proceed, if you intend to have custom "standard" texts (sort of an oxymoron, but everyplace I've been does this)...
If you are working in a customer system, only create standard texts using the following naming convention:
Initial letter Y or Z in the text name with any text ID
or
Initial letter Y or Z in the text ID with any text name

Do you know how to change the Text Object for Billing Document?

Hi,
If you execute Transaction VOTX or VOTXn it will take you to Text Determination. The Billing Doc & Sales Document both has the VBBK as Text Object for me and is it like that for all.
I need to change the Text Object to VBRK for Billing Doc, which is the ideal because I am using the Function Module READ_TEXT to retrieve text. This work perfectly for Sales Document which has VBBK as Text Object, but does not work for Billing Doc where it through as error message saying Text 0020000021 ID 0002 language EN not found.
Thank You
Kishan

Hi kishan,
For updating these text you can use FM 'SAVE_TEXT'.
As for your problem, to get the parameter you need, go to the billing document, go to the text, and display it in plain page mode.
Then you do 'GO TO' -> 'HEADER', and a pop-up window open with the parameters you need Obect type, ID, Name, ...

Text Object with a Paramter Field in It

think I am losing my mind. I have a text object on my report for the 'From' and 'To' dates on a report. So that the spacing works between the words, I add a text object to my report and type the word "From" (without quotes). Then, I drag the start date into the field next to the word From. Then I type "To" and insert the ending date.
I right justify the contents of the field. I position the object on the right side of the report (not right at the margins about 1/4" in).
Just above this combined field, is a special field with the print date. It is also right justified and the two fields are right aligned.
The problem is when the report prints, the combined field isn't truly right justified. There are what appears to be extra spaces in it. The fields look similar to this...
02/20/2009
Report range 01/01/2008 to 12/31/2009
They should be perfectly aligned based on the CR layout. I have done some testing. If I remove the text and just leave the dates in the text object, I have the same results. It looks like it has something to do with the brackets that get placed around the parameter field when it is placed inside the text object.
Report range {?datdeb} to {?datfin}
Has anyone else run across this? I have noticed this on several of my reports and decided to try and find a solution.
Could it be a variable font issue? The problem goes away if I use Lucida Console (a fixed width font). It is somewhat better but not perfect with Verdana as the font. It is horrible when using Arial. I can't believe this is an issue that others have not run across. I searched the forum with no luck.
Thanks in advance.
Gilley Estes

With the help of one of our programmers, he suggested using a Trim function in case there were extra spaces in the field. So this is what I ended up doing.
Created a formula with the following:
"Report Range " + Trim (totext({?datdeb})) + " to " + Trim (totext({?datfin}))
?datedeb = beginning date parameter
?datefin = ending date parameter
By using the trim function, the extra spaces that were inserted into the field were removed.
Go figure! Oh well... At least there is a solution.
HTH someone in the future...

Help to get text objects in ABAP

Hi guys!
I've created my first report program and need some help to get text objects into the report. The program combines the tables KNA1, LIKP, LIPS, VBAK, VBAP and VBKD to create a deliverylist which we import as excel info a shipping service. The issue at hand is that our website allows customers to change the ship-to party's address when creating an order. The adress are not updated to KNA1, but are comitted as a text on the ship-to on the delivery itself.
The text I need in the report is RV50A-TXTWE.
Can you help me get going on how to add this from the delivery?
Thanks a lot!

Your problem is that its a structure. Structures are filled in a program and no longer exist after the program is closed. They are temporary data. It will have been moved to tables somewhere most likely. The next step is to debug / trace through the code to find out what was done with it.
What program were you using that created the structure?

Hi Experts
I want Purchase Order Text Object in Transction VOTXN, for that Referring SAP Note 75144 - EKKO EKPO entries should be in table TFRM, if these two entries are missing, using the solution contained in Note 524453 to generate the missing entries in the table TFRM, run program RV80INCTFRM. I run that program too but still am not able to see purchase order text in Tcode VOTXN.
Please help me on this....

The note Note 524453 - Purchasing text determination is not transported mentions that you need to run program RV80HGEN after RV80INCTFRM. Did you run this program? What is your SAP version? Did you also check other notes provided in 524453?
