In APEX 4.0, question on formating bold and underline in a table

I am using APEX 4.0,
I see I can format Bold and underline in a textbox using a control but when I save this to a clob in the database, it using the command punctuation and not really the underline or the bold.
I am using a word doc to display the contents of the clob but I just get the command punctuation and not the real underline or bold, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Doug

You do NOT save formatting to a CLOB type column, hence the C lob (Character). If you want to save a Word style document to a column, then look at a Blob (Binary)..

Char. formats(Bold, Underline) in Long text editor not visible in ABAP WD

Hi ABAP experts,
Problem:
I have created long text with using bold and under line formats in long text editor (FM TEXT_ EDIT). I am trying to show same text in WebDynpro using READ_TEXT FM. But FM READ_TEXT is getting long text with HTML tags as shown below for bold and underline and it long text showed as same in WebDynpro application with HTML tags.
Long text shown in webdynpro:
Type your message using the form below. When finished, you can
optionally preview your post by clicking on the <H>"Preview"</> tab.
Otherwise, click the <U><H>"Post Message"</></> button to submit your
message immediately.
Is there any function module available to change format and pass to WebDynpro context?
Thanks

The normal text editor in Web Dynpro won't handle HTML tags (they get safe encoded as you described). In NetWeaver 7.01 we do introduce a FormattedTextEditor that allows for such formatting. There are APIs to convert from SAPScript based texts to the XHTML FormattedText tags.

Conceptual questions with document management and Apex:

Hello Everyone,
I have reviewed or participated in thread discussions focusing primarily on subject matters concerning text editors, spellcheckers and document printing. The reason for this is due to our client requesting the creation of a basic centralized document management system that will enable users to create, edit and print technical documents in a database centric web-based environment. The caveat is that the client would like the same basic functionality that users get from MS Word. I know about FCKeditor or TinyMCE and their associated spellcheckers. What concerns me is that I have not found a possible plug-in to handle tracking changes, no one wants to re-read a large multiple page document again when all they would rather do is just view the changes. I know there are possible database schemas that might facilitate this type of functionality; I am just hoping it is more of a plug-in function.
So with all that being said my dilemma is how to approach the design of such an application using Apex, if that is possible. Some questions I have are:
1. Do design the application where you have a text field that contains the entire document, which could be as many as 25 or more pages?
2. Or do you break down the document in to multiple text fields and then assimilate them in to a single multi page document when printing?
3. Would you store the document data using XML under condition 1, 2, both or not at all?
4. What types of data tables might exist, such as tables for document templates, work-in-process and final documents or something else?
I know there are a lot of other concepts/questions to consider and a large part of the design approach would be based on client requirements. My goal here is to gather different basic conceptual approaches, from forum members, in order to help facilitate a starting point for the project.
By the way I have seen on the Apex Latest Forum Poll, for quite sometime, where Document Management is an application that people would like to see developed. Can anyone from the Apex-team tell me if it is in the works and if so, when?
Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
Kyle

Hey Chet,
Thanks for the response; actually I had visited the sample package apps. site awhile back and did not realize more had been added. My problem is that I use Apex 2.1 and not 2.2, so unless there is a way to load the package apps. to the Oracle hosted site, I won't be able to review there design. It would be nice if Oracle tied these package apps. to their demonstration applications sample downloads function in Apex.
As for storing each line of the document in a single record, this was thought of as an initial approach. A concern by the team was how to program the logic to identify specific changed text in say a 5 sentence paragraph and how large the table would become if recording it line by line.
It is still a good approach to consider and we appreciate the input.
Thanks
Kyle

Send Email with Excel attachment with formatting(bold, color) in Background

Hi,
I have requirement wherein I have to send an email with excel attachment with proper formatting of certain fields in the excel sheet like making it bold or setting different color. The data is available in an internal table. Just to to format it and send an email when the program is executed in background mode.
Any pointers on this would be highly appreciated!
Thanks,

Question about formats

Hi there,
I have a whole bunch of videos from my Panasonic camera. They are .mov and in the QuickTime inspector it says the format is:
Apple Photo - JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions
8-bit Unsigned Integer, Mono, 8.000 kHz
I've never really heard of this format before and was wondering if they work well with iMovie '09? I have already lost a whole edited movie because iMovie '09 didn't seem to save a thing I did (any tips on that?) so please excuse my extreme caution.
Thanks in advance,
pvpvpv

I don't understand your question: You appear to have been able to import and edit the file format you asked about. So what exactly are you now asking about that format? You then lost your edits, and have a second question on that issue?
I'll try to address the second question: Your project edits are stored in an iMovie project, which you should be able to find in your Movies:iMovie Projects folder. Your original footage is likewise stored in your Movies:iMovie Events folder. iMovie normally stores your edits automatically, like it or not.
For the "lost" project, is the entire project gone (does not appear in the Finder or in the Project Browser) or is it an empty project? Is it possible it's on another drive that was attached when you made the project, but not now?

APEX possible feature questions

I posted another question that was answered, but have 2 more. We're attempting to configure APEX so that students can access it and run SQL commands on their own tables.
I've got how to get each student their own workspace that they can configure without touching any of the other students workspace, however, I am continuing to play around and read about APEX features and I am wondering if there is any possibility that I can disable the GUI wizard part that allows users to create tables so they can only use SQL commands (I'm starting to doubt that this is possible)
also
Is there a way for the administrator of the database to view the work done by each user and view their SQL work?
Thanks in advance!

You can create a single workspace and a single schema for each student. Then just revoke the CREATE TABLE priviledge from the database schema.
Is there a way for the administrator of the database to view the work done by each user and view their SQL work?No. Although the DBA can of cause see all the stuff (tables, views, objects) that is in the database.
Otherwise I agree with acadet. FIrst learn SQL. Then start to use fancy tools like SQL Developer and/or APEX.

Formatting help and questions

Hi,
My daughter has an iMac G4 17" FP. She wants to get rid of it and get a MacBook.
Before we sell it I want to format the hard drive and reinstall her OS. I would guess she has a disk that came with it that has the OS on it and I would use that to reinstall the OS back and then download the updates that are out there.
That way all her files and things are wiped out and we are selling something with no info on and a fresh install of the OS.
Being a windows person (please don't hold that against me) and not knowing how to do all this can you lead me to something that would give me step by step on how to accomplish this?
Also before I do that she has an external HD the connect by USB or Firewire and I want to format that and transfer her pictures, music, and files to the external HD so she can copy them over to her MacBook.
Also any information or direction to step by step instructions would be helpful.
Who knows. By the time I get done I may want a Mac.
Thanks

Hello Johnnieroman,
This is what I would do. Others may have other options....
Use some thing like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper ( links at the bottom of this message ) to clone the entire contents of that iMac to the external drive.
Use the install disks that came with the computer to " erase and install " that version of OS X on the iMac.
Complete all the software updates.
Erase free space using Disk Utilities from here...
Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Erase.
Now you should have a complete and total copy of what was on the iMac and the iMac is sold.
Buy the MacBook.
Use Migration Assistant to copy the files and folders to the new computer... Job done!
( I think !? )
CCC...
Carbon Copy Cloner
SD...
Super Duper
Hope that helps some.
Regards
Ian

BUG - in flash pro CC, 'bold' and 'italic' properties of TextFormat have no effect on rendered text

Concise problem statement:
If you compile with flash pro CC, and use the 'setTextFormat' method of a TextField, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties of the TextFormat argument have no effect on the rendered text. If you compile with flash pro CS6, the 'bold' and 'italic' properties work as expected.
Apparently, with flash pro CC, the only way to make the text render correctly is to change the font name (add the suffix ' Bold', ' Italic', or ' Bold Italic'.) This means code which dynamically changes font styles only works in CS6 or CC, but not both. For example, if you use the 'bold' property the text renders bold in CS6 and regular in CC, whereas if you change the font name to add the suffix ' Bold', the text renders bold in CC and DOES NOT RENDER at all in CS6. This makes it difficult to transition a team from CS6 to CC.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. Create an xfl with 2 TextFields on the stage, both with font "Trebuchet MS" and style "regular", one named boldTrueText containing the String "bold = true", one named fontNameText containing the String "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold". Create 2 more TextFields on the stage for visual reference, both with font "Trebuchet MS", one with style "regular", one with style "bold".
2. Add the following code to the Actions panel on frame 1:
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.Font;
var format:TextFormat = boldTrueText.getTextFormat();
format.bold = true;
boldTrueText.setTextFormat(format);
format = fontNameText.getTextFormat();
format.font = "Trebuchet MS Bold";
fontNameText.setTextFormat(format);
var fonts:Array = Font.enumerateFonts(), count:int = fonts.length;
for (var i:int = 0; i < count; i++) {
var font:Font = fonts[i];
trace("fontName: " + font.fontName + ", fontStyle: " + font.fontStyle);
3. Save, and compile with flash pro CS6 and flash pro CC.
Results:
With flash pro CS6, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
With flash pro CS6, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders regular, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold.
With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
Expected results:
The same text is rendered in both flash pro CS6 and CC. I don't know why this behavior was changed in flash pro CC - it causes silent failures in code which dynamically changes font styles. I expected the flash pro CS6 behavior to remain the same in CC, like so:
With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold, and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" DOES NOT RENDER.
With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
If you don't want to break backward compatibility (any further), you could make both the behaviors work in flash pro CC, like so:
With flash pro CC, "bold = true" renders bold (font is still "Trebuchet MS"), and "fontName = Trebuchet MS Bold" renders bold also.
With flash pro CC, the following is traced:
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: bold
fontName: Trebuchet MS, fontStyle: regular
fontName: Trebuchet MS Bold, fontStyle: bold
I submitted this bug with the bug form, and also with adobe bugbase (in case it isn't obsolete) - I'm just trying to maximize my chances of getting a fix. Has anyone else encountered this bug?

I just can't believe how there is ZERO documenation for any of this. Flash's stylesheets have fontStyle and fontWeight properties, but they only recognize regular/italic and regular/bold respectively.
This change in Flash CC completely breaks systems built in Flash CS6, and the font naming is actually arbitrary and is not a consistant combination of font name and style (e.g. "Eras ITC" family's bold font name is "Eras Bold ITC", but the bold version of Times New Roman is "Times New Roman Bold" (with Bold at the end, rather than the middle), and what's absolutely appaling is that the font name used at runtime is not exposed anywhere in the Flash IDE!!! In the IDE you select a font family and font style independently, which is absolutely not what's used at runtime, because it actually uses a separate, arbitrarily named field in the font file for the font name. So we can't even know from within Flash what the proper runtime name is, unless we trace it out or open the font properties details tab in Windows explorer.
It seems that Flash CC is always using the font "Title" that can be found in the properties of the font, NOT the font name displayed in Windows Font Preview or in Flash CC. For example, the font name for Times New Roman Bold in Windows Font Preview is just "Times New Roman", but the font title in the properties/details tab is "Times New Roman Bold". If they made the change to allow for specific fonts to be selected, that's fine, but it completely breaks HTML support in TextFields if it's not respecting bold and italic tags.
This may actually be a trend on the web now, if you read this: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/02/14/setting-weights-and-styles-at-font-face-declara tion/ , it says: "If you’ve used one of FontSquirrel’s amazing @font-face kits, then you’re familiar with this approach to setting weights and styles. The CSS provided in every kit uses a unique font-family name for each weight and style, and sets the weight and style in the @font-face declaration to normal. [...] Notice that the font-family names are unique, with each font-family name accessing the appropriate Web font files."
But there's just no mention of this in any documentation I can find. What the hell.
It's also helpful to realize that font and u tags have been deprecated in HTML5, while b and i tags have been repurposed since they still retain semantic meaning apart from style: https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-b-and-i-tags

Question about moving chat and call history

Downgrading to an older version from the newest version of Skype. The older version is not supposed to support the horrendous formatting *the bold text between stars* and such. However, I have heard that when you downgrade, the formatting STAYS and the only way to get rid of it permanantly (without having to input a command every single time you start Skype up) is to completely reset Skype's settings by renaming the appdata directory and letting a new one be created. Of course, this means your chat history and such is in the OLD folder, not the new one.
My question is this: If I do this reset, then move my chat history from the old folder to the new one so that said chat history is restored to Skype, will the unwanted formatting return WITH it, or will that still be disabled?
Solved!

Yes, but from everything I've seen, that doesn't actually fix the problem, it only works until you restart Skype or your computer. I am looking for a permanant solution; aka something I only have to do ONCE, not something I have to RE-DO every time I restart Skype/computer.
Temporary is not a solution. Permanant is. Thank you.
This was only an issue with the early 7.0 Skype version. The solution is permanent with the older Skype 6.21 version as well as with the latest Skype 7.1/7.2/7.3 versions.

The chat command /setupkey *Lib/Conversation/EnableWiki 0, has exactly the same effect as editing the shared.xml file.

Applying Bolds and Italics while doing a Find/Replace on Data Merged content

Hi,
Wonder if you kind knowledgeable folks can help me with a Find/Replace question.
I am doing a data merge of a book contents into indesign, where my data merge file is a straightforward text csv file which is tab delimited. I have two (almost similar) things I would like to do to specific parts of the text but don't know how to achieve this.
- Firstly, I would like to preserve words/sentences with an 'italic' form but this is obviously lost in a csv file. Is there anyway I can mark these words in order that a find/replace can make this word italics. Im hoping there is a solution which resembles something like this;
eg. Book content is "The Word Italic needs to be adjusted".
Original content is amended to be "The Word $Italic$ needs to be adjusted", so that a dollar sign encapsulates the word to be made Italic.
Then I am able to data merge the csv file and somehow do a find/replace of words/sentences which are encapsulated by the dollar sign. Thus, doing a find/replace of all words/sentences which satisfy this condition and then apply italics to all words between the dollar signs.
- My other issue is I am using the '|' character in my text to determine the paragraph seperators. I then do a find/replace after importing the text to replace all instances of '|' to the paragraph seperator (a kind of $ symbol, a representative character from the pop-up menu to the right of the Change To box). This works fine, but I'd like to make the paragraph seperator to be a BOLD format so that it can distinguish better the seperating sections of text.
But this is different from my 'italics' issue above since I am trying to apply a BOLD format to the 'Change to' character, rather than something which exists in my original csv.
Hope I make sense but I'd be happy to provide screenshots etc (when I get home )
Best Rgds

two solutions.
for the italic solution, i'd say the OP answered his own question with one exception - don't use dollar symbols, instead use = or another character which isn't reserved by GREP.
the solution i would use for italics would be a GREP search once the merge is complete. have a look at the picture to see what i've done.
the second solution: GREP styles.
this assumes that the text will have a paragraph style assigned to it. make a character style called BOLD and within that style, the only thing to change is within basic character formats, make the font style bold. could even make the character another colour such as cyan so it is more easily idenfiable.
next, go to the paragraph style options, go to GREP styles and match the following screengrab
the advantage with a GREP style is that once the pipe symbol (|) is replaced, its bold GREP style character formatting is lost; and it means less post processing and no need for a second search of the text - it's all live.

Newbie Question about FM 8 and Acrobat Pro 9

Hello:
I have some dcouments that I've written in FM v8.0p277. I print them to PDF so that I can have a copy to include on a CD and I also print some hard copies.
My newbie question is whether there is a way to create a PDF for hard copy where I mainitain the colors in photos and figures but that the text that is hyperlinked doesn't appear as blue. I want to keep the links live within the soft copy. Is there something I can change within Frame or with Acrobat?
TIA,
Kimberly

Kimberly,
How comes the text is blue in the first place? I guess the cross-reference formats use some character format which makes them blue? There are many options:
Temporarily change the color definition for the color used in the cross-reference format to black.
Temporarily change the character format to not use that color.
Temporarily change the cross-reference definition to not used that character format.
Whichever method you choose, I would create a separate document with the changed format setting and import those format into your book, create the PDF and then import the same format from the official template.

Check if a single Text Item in a cell is bold and then grab the string that is bold

I have written a script that runs through a table and parses out the information I need to create another table with some added information.
The last piece that I can't seem to figure out is how to check if some text in a cell is bold and then grab said text to put in the new table.
I will give a small table demo of what I am try to retrieve.
Table A.
Column 1
Description
123456
This is a description (This is a note)
789123
This is a description (This is note A) (This is note B) (This is more stuff that isn't needed.
Table B.
Column 1
Column 2
Note
1
123456
(This is a note)
2
789123
(This is note A) (This is note B)
I can pull all of the other information across that I am trying to get without any issue.
I can't seem to figure out how to check the formatting of a TextItem to see if it is bold. I have been able to figure out how to check if a cell has bold text in it. using if ((tItems[counterVar].idata & Constants.FTF_WEIGHT) > 0). This ends up not working well because of a few issues. I was wondering if there is any way to check the formatting of a single character?
I tried something similar to the following:
prop_Change = tbl_Description_Cell.GetText(Constants.FTI_CharPropsChange);
txt_String = tbl_Description_Cell.GetText(Constants.FTI_String);
if (prop_Change.len > 0)
        if((prop_Change[0].idata & Constants.FTF_WEIGHT) > 0)
                pOffset = prop_Change[0].offset;
                for (var tbl_tItems = 0; tbl_tItems < txt_String.len; tbl_tItems++)
                        tOffset = txt_String[tbl_tItems].offset
                        if(tOffset == pOffset)
                                alert(txt_String[tbl_tItems].sdata);
Thanks,
Steven

Depends on your forms-version. If you are using a web-based version, you could have a look at the Java-bean-editor FRITE, it supports such features.
