Make text non-selectable?

I looked for a property for text objects similar to the one
for datagrids that will make the text un-selectable but so far
don't see it.
Is there a way to prevent the user from selecting text in an
mx:Text container?
Some stupid people try to drag-select type before they read
it,and this can force Flex to "scroll" text out of the window if
the drag too far. So I want to prevent their error altogether.
Thanks.

Never mind, found it. I was looking in styles not properties.
Doh!

  • Make Dynamic text non-clickable

    Hi Guys,
    I need to learn how to make dynamic text non-clickable, like
    those in loaders. Any Ideas...?
    Thanks in Advance

    you mean non-selectable. :)
    you'll find this option in the properties panel. with the
    text tool selected (or with a text-box selected on the stage)
    search the properties panel for a button showing 'Ab' where 'b'
    looks like it was selected. that's the button controlling if the
    text is selectable or not.
    got it? (i can post you a screenshot if you can't find it) ;)

  • HT2534 how to make the None option appear next to the Credit Card selections?

    In the support section, ther eis a How To for setting up an apple ID without a credit card, I know this has worked in the past because I did it once,
    The support page shows that there is an option to select "None" when pestered for credit card details, however in practice this option does not exist,
    Is there a way to make the None appear?

    I started on an iPad2, fresh out of the box, and created the account, it became apparent that those without a credit card may not have an account. I read a few of these threads and tried to "Review" the account using itunes and also the apple site. All roads point to BankCardTM
    Any ideas?
    Is it worth deleting the account and starting again? If so, how?

  • Make Acrobat X selection tool detect paragraphs of text...

    Acrobat X selection tool fails to detect paragraphs of text.  Manually selected paragraphs have broken sentences with line breaks.  This problem is also noticed when you attempt to triple click a paragraph and only one line of text is selected instead of a paragraph.  Can this be fixed?

    can't it tell by the visual formatting of indents, text proximity/clusters, etc?  if humans can tell, why can't acrobat be trained to tell?

  • How to make text start at the top of a page in livecycle 9

    Hi, How can I get the text in a large text field to start at the top left of the field rather than at the center of the field? In addition, may one know how to make text wrap in the form as well?
    Thanks,
    David

    To set the Text alignment properties use "Paragraph" pallet you can make it visible by selecting Window>>Paragraph or Shift+F5
    And to allow text wrapping you need to select "Allow Multiple Lines" checkbox under "Object" pallet and "Field" tab. You can make Object pallet visible by selecting Window>>Object or Shift+F7.
    Good Luck,

  • Double-click to enter a text frame - selecting text unresponsive

    Ok.
    So frustrating...I haven't been able to find a solution to this anywhere online.
    Let's say I've got an InDesign document open, and have my selection tool (V).
    I double click on a text frame (that is full of text), see that there is now a cursor inserted in the text frame, so I go to swipe or double-click to select/highlight some text, and NOTHING HAPPENS (it is unresponsive).
    I wait a second, and then I can select text.
    But this was not an issue in CS6 on the Mac I used to use for almost 2 years. 
    I could double click on a text frame and quickly swipe text to select, it was very fast.  This second-long delay in responsiveness trips me up every time, disrupts my flow and is really, really annoying when I am selecting and editing different text boxes hundreds of times all day long.  I am using ID CC on a Windows machine now, but the CPU is super fast (16 GB ram, i7 processor) and should not be having any lag issues in InDesign. 
    Does anyone else have this problem?  Is there something in the InDesign preferences that I can change, or is this a bug?

    de_fault, please send a complaint to Adobe otherwise they won't fix it:
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Problem description: When switching from the Selection tool to the Text tool (by double-clicking in a text box) there is a 1-2 second delay before you can select text.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Make a text box and fill with text
    2. Select the Selection tool (V)
    3. Double-click in the text box so that you see a cursor
    4. Immediately try to select text
    Results:  You have to wait 1-2 seconds before you can select text.
    Expected results:  There should not be a delay.  There was no delay in previous versions.

  • HT2534 When i go to review my apple ID it doesnt have a none selection for payment and it wont let me go on what do i do?

  • How do I remove my card details from payment and make it none again

    need to find out how to remove my bank card from payment info and make it none again

    On a Mac or PC, iTunes>Store>click your name in the toolbar and select 'Account Info' (in older iTunes click 'Account' in the links on the right). Presumably the iOS version is similar.
    Sign in. Click 'Edit' to the right of 'Payment information. You will see various credit card types listed, plus there should be a 'None' button. Click that then 'Done' at the bottom right.
    There have been reports that some people have been unable to carry this out. In that case probably only Support can help you. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption', then 'iTunes Store account billing'.

  • How to make users to select the date from calendar control my making the date field read only in date time control in external list in sharepoint 2010

  • Predictive text non-English characters to be made ...

    I just filled an enhancement request on this feature, please vote for it HERE:
    Predictive text non-English characters to be made optional
    The story is: while using predictive text for non-English languages (Polish in my case) the dictionary words are grammar correct which include special characters like: ą,ę,ć,ś,ż,ź,ó,ł etc. For texting (SMS) operators count these as 3 characters making a message much longer than it looks. Therefore I can tell you no one uses these characters while texting and people use EN only characters instead a,e,c,s,z,o,l... which makes using the predictive text useless for eg Polish language.
    I'd like to have an option to switch using these non-en chars off for predicting text, which is grammatically not correct but in real life that's how people type.
    So basically if there's an option to disable lang specific characters I would be getting an example suggestion of 'Prosze' instead of grammatically correct 'Proszę'. 'Prosze' is a 6 character word, 'Proszę' is a 5+3=8 character word. Considering a single SMS message a 300 chars, than it really makes a difference.
    Simple solution would be to replace every char ą with a, ć with c, ó with o etc... in each word suggested for the ones who have this option enabled.

    HI,
    You can write a code in PAI of main screen. there by using loop at screen you can make that field editable or disabled.
    Code sample:
    loop at screen.
    ****condition for value check
    if screen-name = 'TEXT_EDIT_NAME'
    screen-output = 1.
    screen-input = 0.
    modify screen.
    endif.
    endloop.
    Hope this will help you.
