Input Text Box

Hi Experts!
I have SP3 with its Fix Pack 3.1 installed
I am not able to use Input Text box component
when i hit preview i cant see the input text box. it gets hidden for no reason
i am not using Dynamic visibility
i have no other component in my dashboard except Input Text component. i have just started
is anyone else experience the same issue? can anyone help please?

Hi,
Create a new dashboard and test as follows:
1. Give some background color on the input box and then preview to check.
2. Check whether you have marked for HIDE in the Object Browser for that input box.
With best wishes

Hidden password in input text box

How do I hide the letters in a password input text box. I
have an input text box for the viewer to type in a password and
would like the password to not show when typed in, like is the case
with html text boxes, where you just see a bullet for each letter
in the password. How would I do this? Is there a font I could use?
Thanks for any help with this.

Select the Input text object on the stage. In the Properies
window, select the pulldown at the bottom center, it probably says,
"Single line". Select "Password". You can then get the actual text
that the user types in by asking for the instance name's text value
or the variable's value for that Input text field. Be sure to embed
the font that you want to use.

HELP NEEDED!!!displaying xml node name in an input text box

Hello everybody
Have a simple proble. I have imported an XML file into flash
using the Tree component and the XML_conn component. So i have the
xml tree displying in flash when i have run it.
I have created an input text box called 'subject'
All i really need is when a user clicks on any node for that
node name to be displayed in a the input text box. thats it. ITS
DRIVING ME CRAZY

Try something like this. (if your Tree is called myTree)
var myTreeListener = {}
myTreeListener.change = function(evtObj) {
subject.text = evtObj.target.selectedNode.nodeName;
myTree.addEventListener("change",myTreeListener)

Problem with action script 3 make input text box and button....

Hi every one I am trying to make a family book using "Air for Android" with a simple search engin in the book
air for android only work with AS3,
the search function is to type a person's name and hit submit then go to a specific frame.
have a problem making below code to work in AS3 and hopefully one of you guys can lead me in the right direction to fix the issue.
Currently, I have an input text box and a button. When you type specific words into the input box and then hit the button it sends you to a specific frame.
(it work find in AS2 but not in AS3,)
Here is my current code that is placed on the main timeline, first frame:
stop();
onEnterFrame = function () {
    submit.onRelease = function() {
        switch (yourname.text) {
        case "name1" :
            gotoAndStop(2);
            break;
        case "name2" :
            gotoAndStop(3);
            break;
My button that checks if the phrase is correct is called "submit" and my input box has an instance of "yourname".
My phrases that will be accepted in the input box are "name1" and "name2" which bring me to two different frames.
Basically, I'm having a problem with making this to work with AS3.

you should use the default option in the switch statement
that way yourname contains something not in one of the case statements it will go to the default bit and execute teh code there
function onSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void
                              switch (yourname.text)
                                        case "name1":
                                                  gotoAndStop(2);
                                                  break;
                                        case "name2":
                                                  gotoAndStop(3);
                                                  break;
                                        default:
                                                  goToAndStop(you frame you want);
                                        break;

Can we hide the real value of input text box and show other value in ADF?

Hi All,
I have a table in which i have one the column as "Quantity" and text box as "quantity" :-
<af:column sortProperty="quantity" filterable="true"
sortable="true" headerText="Quantity" id="c3"
width="60"
rendered="#{row.bindings.booleanFlag.inputValue != 'E'}"
filterFeatures="caseInsensitive">
<div align="center">
*<af:inputText value="#{row.bindings.quantity.inputValue}"*
label="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.label}"
required="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.mandatory}"
columns="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.displayWidth}"
maximumLength="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.precision}"
shortDesc="#{bindings.queryProductResponseType.hints.quantity.tooltip}"
id="it5" partialTriggers="it19"
readOnly="#{row.activeYN == 'N'}">
<f:validator binding="#{row.bindings.quantity.validator}"/>
<af:validateRegExp pattern="^[1-9]+[0-9]*$"
messageDetailNoMatch="Quantity must be in whole number format."/>
</af:inputText>
</div>
</af:column>
Now when the user will enter say 400 in input text box "quantity" , the value should be divided in the same row to other column text box say "conversion" which holds the value as 40 , so if the division doesn't give any remainder(means remainder =0 ) means real value(400/40) = 10 then it should set the value of input text box "quantity" as 10 but the user should be able to see 400 which he/she entered before, as we want to send the 10 as request but we have to show 400 to the user and if remainder goes greater than 1 than it should show an error.
I have to implement this in value change listener of the text box as i need to calculate the real value each time for a row.
How should i implement this ?
Thanks .
Thanks.

Thanks timo,
But can you give me full details how should i implement this as i am newbie to ADF. I have found the data control in Data controls tab in left hand side and right click on it -> edit definition -> but it does not give me the option to add attribute , it just give me the option to edit the existing attribute. Can you explain me how to add the transient attribute and how to implement it ? Any sample code snippet ?
Thanks.

How to disply the input text box when the data in the table is empty

Hi,
I m using JDeveloper 11g 5.1.1.1 : How to display the Input text box when the data in the table is empty or by using the dual table.
Since there is no record in the table, screen is displying only the lable. not displying the Input text box.? Any property is there to enable?.
One more case i tried by using dual (eg Select '0' as name from dual) created one view object and dragged in the JSF screen as input combo box with list of values.
In this case also it is not displaying the combo box.Just displaying the Lable name and 0 only.

Hi,
I didn,t get you.Could you please explain. I am not choosing the ADF table. Selecting and dragging ADF form only.

ADF 11g + How to capture the value of a dynamically created input text box

Hi All,
I have a requirement where, on selection of the value in a drop down, the input text boxes need to get dynamically populated on the JSPX page. I'm able to bring this functionality, and it is working fine.
But the challenge right now I'm facing is that, how to read/capture the value entered in those dynamic text boxes on submission of the page. Please help me in getting this resolved.
Below is the code snippet I'm using for this.
// Clearing the existing input fields in the Panel form
while (pf100.getChildren().iterator().hasNext()) {
pf100.getChildren().remove(pf100.getChildren().iterator().next());
// Creating the new fields based on the number of IP addresses selected
for (int i = 0; i < iIPAddress; i++) {
RichInputText pcPreferredDomain = new RichInputText();
pcPreferredDomain.setLabel("Preferred Domain / Hostname for Desktop PC/ Laptop - " +
(i + 1));
pcPreferredDomain.setColumns(40);
pcPreferredDomain.setId("pcpfdomain" + (i + 1));
pf100.getChildren().add(pcPreferredDomain);
Thanks All in Advance,
Thanks & Regards,
Dharmathej M

As per your method, you are creating the RichInputText components as local variables.
What happens when you are creating them as class level variables in the managed bean, if you do so, you can refer to the values of the UI components in the actionListener/action code for the command button in the managed bean
sample:
public class ManagedBean{
RichInputText [] pcPreferredDomain;
public ManagedBean(){
// Clearing the existing input fields in the Panel form
while (pf100.getChildren().iterator().hasNext()) {
pf100.getChildren().remove(pf100.getChildren().iterator().next());
pcPreferredDomain = new RichInputText[iIPAddress];
// Creating the new fields based on the number of IP addresses selected
for (int i = 0; i < iIPAddress; i++) {
pcPreferredDomain[i] = new RichInputText();
pcPreferredDomain.setLabel("Preferred Domain / Hostname for Desktop PC/ Laptop - " +
(i + 1));
pcPreferredDomain.setColumns(40);
pcPreferredDomain.setId("pcpfdomain" + (i + 1));
pf100.getChildren().add(pcPreferredDomain);
Thanks,

How to maintain focus in input text box?

I am a complete newbie with Flash MX, ActionScript, and
everything in between. So here's my situation.
I want to make it so the user has to type in a password to
move forward with the Flash presentation. When he presses OK, it
takes him to further into the presentation (i.e. Frame 20).
On my login screen, I have a couple of layers that are
animated. Thus, I need these animations to keep looping. So what
did I do? At the end of the animation, I put in code to
GotoAndPlay(1).
Now here's the problem... When someone's trying to type in
the password, when it loops (Gotoandplay), the input box loses
focus. To remedy this situation, for frame 1, I put in the code:
Selection.setFocus("txtPassword").
What happens? Everytime it sets focus, everything gets
highlighted in the input text field.
As you can imagine, it is a headache for anyone who is trying
to type in the password because every few seconds, the whole thing
gets highlighted and he accidently types over it.
Any suggestions?

1. copy the frames of your looping animation.
2. create a new movieclip and paste those copied frames onto
this movieclip's timeline
3. from your library drag a copy of the above movieclip to
frame 1 of your main timeline and attach a stop() to that frame.
4. place your login textfield and ok button on frame 1 of
your main timeline.
5. when ok is pressed (and login) passes some condition
direct your main timeline to frame 20.

How to change a value of input text box into uppercase?

Hi all,
In my use case I should have a text box in the jsf page and I should store the value that is entered in the text box in a database.
The requirement is the value which user enters in the text box should get changed to Uppercase
before getting saved in the database. Kindly help me in achieving this.
Thanks,
Phanindra.

hi user,
before asking any question.
right place to search anything is google (the ocean).
so the way. chris showed.
if i understood correctly means,
if you want change any input text into uppercase means :
use some skinning : -
<af:inputtext>
contentStyle = "text-transform:uppercase;"
</af:inputtext>
Or
else
are you looking for
while given inputtext saved into db.
Use something like this in as vo for each and ever attribute,
public void Desc(String value) {
setAttributeInternal(DESC, value.toUpperCase());
}

Can you control the alpha of an input text box?

Using Action Script, I mean?
If I put a ball on the stage and make it a movie, I can make
it vanish by putting
ball._alpha -= 100;
If I put an input text field on the stage and reference it by
name that doesn't work.
If I turn the text field into a MC it STILL doesn't work.
Heck, if I put the text field in the mc with the ball the
ball disappears but the text field is still there.
How do I use AS to make an input text field disappear?

nevermind, I'll just get creative.
if the damn thing wont VANISH when I want it to, I'll create
the same effect by knocking it the hell off the stage
textField._x -= 1000;
LOL!

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 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!!

Trying to auto commit after input text value change

Hello, I have created a page that contains an input text box. When the user changes something in the input text box, I want to fire off a commit operation.
As of now, I have valueChangeListener of the inputText set to a method on my managed bean which then grabs the commit operation from my bindings container and executes it.
At that point, I would expect the changes to a the input text box to be saved after a user modifies it. However, it doesn't seem to be working, because when I refresh the page, the mod I made to the text is not there. The input text still reflects the text that was there before I made a change.
Anyone know what's happening here?? And how I can make it work?

Hi Timo,
Thanks for the response. I tried that, and my commit function in my bean was getting called, but the data still wasnt "REALLY" getting saved.
I had to bind my input text to a property in managed bean, and call
inputText.processUpdates(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
doCommit(); // method that simply calls the commit method in my binding container, and does a few other things.
For simplicity I just bound the panel that all my input components were child of. In this case it was a DecorativeBox. So I bound the DecorativeBox to my bean and just did
decBox.processUpdates(....)
doCommit();
That way all my child input components were updated before the commit took place. That seemed to do the trick nicely (-;

How to use input text

Hi, I have searched the forums and haven't found what I am looking for.
I want to have an input text box for the user to enter their name into. On the next frame I want it to say Welcome 'username'.
Thanks

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;
