Mask w/ TextField???

I have a mask, if I put anything beneath it, OTHER than a
TextField, the graphic is visible.
If I put a TextField beneath the mask, the TextField doesn't
show up? wtf?

My knowledge is that when a star shows next to the type it is
because it comes from a shared library. Try using a font that is
not from a shared library and see if that helps. I've never done a
mask with type from a shared library, though you'd think they work
the same.
Are you doing mask with layers or AS?

  • Currency format masking

    Is it possible to Mask a textfield numeric entry into locale specific currency
    mormat.
    I have tried it with <netui:formatNumber> tag ,but it is not giving the right
    result.
    Say if i enter 123457678 in a textfield ,it has to be formatted in UK format i.e,1,23,45,678
    How can it be done

    I think you will need to do the formatting in javascript. The formatNumber
    tag does not support the varying number of digits between commas. The
    formatString handles arbitrary string formats but it works left to right and
    so it isn't good for numbers.

  • Date picker's session state

    Hi,
    I have problems with date picker. There is a tabular form with several columns and one of them is Date. I have chosen a date picker instead of textfield so that user can choose a date easier. When user clicks Submit button, validation runs. My validation gives error message on Error Page. When user clicks 'OK' link on Error Page browser should go back to previous page without refreshing it so that there are still invalid values in form's fields entered by user before validation. But when I use Date picker the tabular form is being refreshed and all the input is lost. When I use textfield for Date column everything works fine - user clicks an 'OK' link on Error Page and he/she is taken to previous page where invalid data is still there in form.
    Is it possible to save a session state of a Date picker using Error Page? If not, is it possible to implement a mask for textfield in Date column so that when user writes the date he/she can see the format he/she should use?
    Regards,
    Tom

    Hi Phil,
    The problem is that it does not matter what the date format is set. The problem seems to be that date picker just exists in form! It seems that if there is a date picker in tabular form then the page always refreshes, it cannot be restored with javascript (history go -1).
    So is it possible to save date pickers session state or to solve this problem in any other way?
    Regards,
    Tom

  • Crash on Tweening a TextField with a mask AS3 CS3

    I have yet to hunt down exactly what it is about this
    situation that makes it crash, but when I tween the position of a
    TextField that has a mask, as soon as I close the movie window the
    program crashes, whether it be in the Flash (CS3) IDE or in a
    browser.
    In detail: I have a movie where I'm creating 1000 instances
    of a movieclip (little dots) and when the mouse rolls over one i
    instantiate another movieclip, call it box. I then dynamically
    create a textfield inside the box and give it a mask (a generated
    sprite that is just a rectangle half the width of the box, which is
    added to the box's display list). Finally, I tween the x position
    of the TextField, giving the effect of the text sliding out from
    the edge of the box. When I test the movie in Flash this works fine
    but as soon as I close the window Flash crashes, in a browser
    window when I close the window I get the spinning beach ball of
    death. If I dont add a mask to the TextField, I dont have this
    problem at all. I will test this on a PC tomorrow, but as of yet
    can only confirm on a Mac.
    Has anyone ever encountered something like this?
    I dont have the code in front of me, but it is really what
    youd imagine, along the lines of (NOTE: this is not my exact
    code):

    I have the same problem in version CS6. I assume Adobe hasn't done anything about it?

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.

  • Creating a textfield with mask.

    I want to create a textfield that can enter string value, number and date.. Only one texfield that when I choose a date it will become a date picker and be able to save in the database?

    The last time I did this I put each glossary term on its own (much smaller) page, then created a link to return to previous view that covered the entire page so no matter where they clicked they would go back to where they came from. Or you could create a button that jumps to previous view. Of course this only works when each glossary term is linked just once. If the same term is used on different pages you link them all to the glossary but the link on the glossary page will only return to the first instance.

  • Conversion from date to number & display a date in a textfield

    I Have 2 issues
    The first one:
    I need to extract the hour from a date variable.
    This is the code I already have:
    NUM_TOT := NUM_TEL + to_number('PROGRAMMINGS1.PRG_START','hh24');
    NUM_TOT & NUM_TEL are number variables,
    PROGRAMMINGS1.PRG_START is a Textfiel with a dateformat. There can only be an houre like 24:59:00 entered.
    So in this example I just want the houre and convert it to a number.
    The second:
    I want to make a date from a few numbers & then display it in a texfield.
    This is the code I already have:
    VAR_DATE := NUM_TEL || ':' || NUM_LENGTH || ':00';
    :PROGRAMMINGS.PRG_END := to_date(VAR_DATE,'hh24:mi:ss');
    Between the 2 lines of code i places a message(VAR_DATE) for testing.
    When the program display VAR_DATE then i can see the good date at the bottom of the screen.
    But when I place my variable in the textfield it looks like: 00:00:00. What am I doing wrong?
    Who can help me.
    With regards

    Problem: During the conversion (both implicit and explicit conversion with a format mask) I lose the "00" hours and "00" minutes and receive something like this: "10-JAN-13 *12*.00.00.000000000 AM".I don't think you are necessarily losing any information whatsoever. It's probably more of a function of your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT and NLS_DATE_FORMAT. For example your NLS_DATE_FORMAT could be setup by default for a HH24 (24 hour time) which would report midnight as "00" hours. However, it looks like your NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT is setup with a "HH" format with a meridian indicator which means 12 hours time.
    Your comparisons should be using date/timestamp data types anyways so as long as the input value is converted properly into a date type this shouldn't matter anyways.
    You can see what is actually stored by using the DUMP function:
    SQL> SELECT  DUMP(TO_TIMESTAMP(TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'DD'),'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'))) AS TSTAMP
      2  ,       DUMP(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'DD')) AS DT
      3  FROM DUAL
      4  /
    TSTAMP                                                                      DT
    Typ=187 Len=20: 218,7,1,13,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0                  Typ=13 Len=8: 218,7,1,13,0,0,0,0As you can see the TSTAMP and DT store nearly the same values (218,7,1,13), but the TSTAMP has more precision because of fractional seconds.
    HTH!

  • HELP! TextField "NUMERIC" dont let me enter more than 9 digits

    Hi there,
    Firstly: I 've search for this question, and I ve found an old post very similar to it.
    (here is it: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10706126] )
    But, unfortunately, the aswerings did not satisfy me...
    The problem is:
    I have a TextField that should receive a Credit Card number, meaning, it has to have 15 or 16 numbers.
    If I set it as "NUMERIC", when I run the app on my real cellphone (a SonyEricsson w810i), it dont let me enter more than 9 digits. Stringe thing here is: but on emulator, I could...
    txtCardNo = new TextField("Card Number", null, 16, TextField.NUMERIC);Instead, if I set it as "ANY", user can type up to 16 numbers, but the problem is that field will accept ANY character, and I dont want that way: I want that this field input acts accepting only numbers.
    How could I fix it?
    Shall I use a function to mask this field? If yes, how?
    Or this could be a problem of JVM implementation on this particular cell phone?
    Please, send me any examples and/or links.
    Thanks very much.

  • AS fails to identify an image placed in html text via an img tag in a TextArea, while doing so correctly with textField.

    A best-efforts session with identifying, in ActionScript, an
    image placed in a TextArea and identified with id, leads me to
    wonder whether the id attribute is supported.
    I have on disk a jpeg file of the amazom.com logo, a small
    image.
    In a scene, I have a TextArea with instance name
    TextAreaPane, and a Dynamic textField with instance name
    DynamicPane. Both of the html attributes in their properties panes
    are set to true. There is a button onstage with instance name
    "ShowIt".
    If my script reads:
    copyToShow = 'This is one place to see it: <img
    src="D:/Imgs/amazon.jpg" id="nineties"><br>'
    TextAreaPane.text = copyToShow;
    DynamicPane.htmlText = copyToShow;
    ShowIt.onPress = function( )
    trace ("Via TextArea, I can identify: " +
    TextAreaPane.nineties);
    trace ("Via the textField, I can identify: " +
    DynamicPane.nineties);
    After the movie loads both in the Player and in the Windows
    Projector, the image and text show correctly in both text panes.
    When I hit the button, I get:
    Via TextArea, I can identify: undefined
    Via the textField, I can identify:
    _level0.DynamicPane.nineties
    Hitting the button after the scene starts playing allows the
    very short asynchronous access time to elapse, so this isn't a case
    of loading a textfield in one line of script, and then in the next
    line expecting for ActionScript to have access to it.
    Of course for the Projector I send these statements to a
    textField on stage to see what trace gives me, and they're the
    same.
    I tried placing the two fields inside a movie clip (and
    adding that movie clip instance name to the head of their dot
    addresses), wondering if being a sub-object of a movie clip would
    help, but the same results -- the textField handles it, while
    TextArea doesn't.
    ... Does anyone have a means of getting better results?

    Tim,
    Many thanks for the clue and the amendments -- once I had
    finished a late night of it, a cleanup chore unearthed a magazine
    that's had me engrossed for a day and a half and produced the
    appearance of ignoring your replies; actually the computers have
    been off.
    I won't be back to it for another few hours at least, but
    wanted to acknowledge the support; the hints in your message look
    like they'll be the beginning of another day at it; I'll send word
    when there's some kind of results.
    I sent the same message to Adobe in their LiveDocs section, a
    forum where they variously now tolerate people saying 'How d'ya do
    this', 'How d'ya do
    that', then now reply that that isn't the right forum for
    how-to's, but rather for documentation problems. Well, since the
    intro to TextArea says that it supports all the html that Flash
    does, I added in the message that the inability to do the
    dot-addressing-image-access that they explain under id is a
    discrepancy, so qualifies to post even if they're in their
    rule-adhering mood, but it hasn't appeared yet -- either under
    review or discarded.
    The reason I'd chosen TextArea was that the text column will
    sometimes be long, and it would be nice to get the overage out of
    sight by having a window that shows only the window's worth, hiding
    what's above and below. (As you probably know, since attempting to
    cover text in a dynamic field with a mask causes all of it to
    disappear, that isn't an option.) The other night I felt I'd hit an
    impassable wall with Flash; in resigning myself to use the Dynamic
    Text field, I decided to cover the text overage with a translucent
    screen of color, and be it due to having no choice that it may, the
    desaturated stretches of text above and below would add ornament
    and atmosphere to the screen, a faintly techno note. Since there
    will often two to four of these scrolling fields going, an
    intricate, happenstance pattern would develop that might turn out
    to be nice.
    But if the avenue you've opened starts working, I'll have my
    choice between the two objects.

  • Newbie question - Auto enter into textfield via SQL

    I am not even sure what to put for the subject!!
    I have a page that creates a new record in our leave tracking database.
    The users are logging in via LDAP
    The username is also in my employee table and can be used with a where statement
    where "USERNAME" like :APP_USER
    I want to bring in FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME and automatically put them in the form so the user does not have to.
    I tried making the TEXTFIELD source a SQL query and I can get the data to load. When the record is submitted the data is not inserted into the new record it is blank.
    The only way I can get the data to load is if the field source is set to Database Column.
    My next efforts were to try and get the default value to be inserted via a SQL statement but as there is no option for SQL only it appears that I have to put in a PL/SQL Function body or expression.
    I know that there needs to be a Declare then Begin and End but I do not know the syntax for what should be a reasonable simple query.
    the sql for the records is
    select "FIRSTNAME"
    from "NWOCASTAFF"
    where "USERNAME" like :APP_USER
    the field I am trying to insert this default value is
    P2_FIRST_NAME
    it is a Text Field
    I hope that someone can help me with this.
    A small PS
    If I wanted the text that is inserted to be Title Case how would I do that, with a format mask or is there some function like upper() which I can use.
    thanks
    John MP

    Scott
    Thanks for the code, it works perfectly! The field must be set to display as a textfield but other than that it is exactly what I need.
    there is another thread that goes down the computation route
    Query to set item default value
    I may pursue that route if I find the default value SQL query to be too restrictive.

  • Apex 4.2: Date picker & format mask number

    Hello
    In Apex 4.2, in a Date Item, how can I modify the date picker to set Monday as the start of week day? I can set Monday as the start of week day on a calendar, but not in a Date Item.
    In a Number Item, there's no format mask to set the comma char as a decimal separator and the dot char as a thousand separator. How can I create a new format mask number?
    Thank you.
    Edited by: user7034195 on 12-mar-2013 3:24

    for the Date Item, you can check this link, you have to call the process on the page load
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1313317/set-start-day-of-the-week-in-jquery-ui-datepicker
    and for the Number format, there's a little trick involved, will try to explain
    First of all convert you items from Number field to simple Textfield.
    1. Write this in your items Post Calculation Computation: TO_CHAR (:item_name, '999G999G999G999G990D00', 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = '',.''')This will do the number formatting you want, but in oracle above format is not acceptable, so while submitting the above values to database we need to undo the changes for that you can use the below code.
    2. Create a Computation "After Submit" for every item you did the above formatting and copy this code in it: replace(replace('1.00.00,00','.',''),',','.') for the 2nd step you can create a package/function which will get the items value as string and do the conversion as number using above code and return back the number.
    This should help you.

  • Custom event mask

    I have defined a custom new event:
    private class MyEvent extends AWTEvent {
              public MyEvent(Object source, String msg) {
                   super(source, 2000);
                   this.msg = msg;               
              public String getMsg() {
                   return msg;
              private String msg;
         }as you can see the id is 2000 which is bigger than AWTEvent.RESERVED_ID_MAX
    Now in the constructor of my JFrame: CustomEventListener
    I've added the following code:
    Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(
                        this, 2000);I want to be able that when I call "disptachEvent" with my event the method
    "eventDispatched" will be called in my code, but I don't understand
    what value should I set the mask in the addAWTEventListener method.
    And in general I don't understand how the correlation between masks
    to events work, is there some formula that if the event's id is x then
    the mask should be some multiple of x or something like that?
    Here is my full application:
    import java.awt.AWTEvent;
    import java.awt.EventQueue;
    import java.awt.FlowLayout;
    import java.awt.Toolkit;
    import java.awt.event.AWTEventListener;
    import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
    import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class CustomEventListener extends JFrame implements
    AWTEventListener, ActionListener {
          * @param args
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              JFrame myFrame = new CustomEventListener();
              myFrame.setVisible(true);
              myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
         public CustomEventListener() {
              setLayout(new FlowLayout());
              btn = new JButton("Click me");
              add(btn);
              textField = new JTextField(10);
              add(textField);
              pack();
                    // what value should I use for the mask
              Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().addAWTEventListener(
                        this, 2000);
         public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent event) {
              System.out.println("boga boga");                    
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
              if (e.getSource() == btn) {
                   dispatchEvent(new MyEvent(this, "the button has been clicked"));
         private JButton btn;
         private JTextField textField;
         private class MyEvent extends AWTEvent {
              public MyEvent(Object source, String msg) {
                   super(source, 2000);
                   this.msg = msg;               
              public String getMsg() {
                   return msg;
              private String msg;
    }I know that I can use listeners in this example, but I don't
    want to use a listener for the dispatching of my event for reasons
    which are a bit hard to explain.
    Thanks in advance

  • Simulate password masking in a XUL dialog's textbox

    Due to a Flash bug in CS5 & CS5.5, I've been forced to generate a dialog with straight XUL instead of XUL opening a swf. I'm trying to stylize the textbox textfield to mask the password entered and I'm having issues coming up with a solution for this. It seems the most straight-forward way to mask would be to assign the textfield a strange font which would serve this purpose - like WingDings. However, i'm not sure of the correct way to stylize a textbox via CSS. I'd like to be able to have the CSS inline in the XUL's XML file, similar to how you can have inline script:
    <style type="text/css">
              .passMask {
                        font-family:WingDings;
    </style>
    Am I on the right track or can anyone give me insight on how I might go about accomplishing a password mask in a textbox?
    Thanks in advance!

    I've set up a test windowSWF - this will show up as a panel when you open Flash after installing this. Simply double-click it on a machine where the CS suite is installed - extension manager will open and install it. Then open Flash (if it was already open, re-open it). Open the test panel in Windows > Other Panels > test. Once open, you'll notice that it will have one button in the panel called "Launch" - press it. Notice the resulting dialog that shows up - this dialog will contain three textfields to input data. If you're on a Mac on CS5 or CS5.5, notice that you can't type the letter "a" more than once. This is the bug I'm referring to. If you're on a PC, you won't exhibit this behavior.
    To get around this bug, I took the swf dialog out of the equation and built the dialog strictly in XML2UI / XUL - xml below. The problem is, I can't mask the password textbox. I can't do an "onchange" on this textfield because if I replace what the user is typing, the textbox registers that replacement as a change = infinite loop. Flash crashes immediately. The only thing I can think of is to change / stylize the font for just that textbox to something strange like WingDings, so when a user is typing, they can at least keep track of how many characters they are typing but not the actual characters they've typed.
