Metadata highlighted in field

When entering metadata in LR (Windows) any time I click into a field, for instance Description, that already contains some data it highlights everything. Thus it's very easy to accidentally delete or write over what's already there, rather than add on or correct a typo which is most typically what I want to do. Any way to change that behavior so that the cursor just goes into the field without selecting everything?

it doesn't happen universally in all applications
Right, it's an often-used but not universal idiom.
click a second or even third time to get the cursor where I want it
Yeah, you have to pause before that second click, or else it is ignored. That is minor irritant to me too.

Need help in LiveCycle Forms - Highlighting required fields when the check box is checked / Un-highlighting the fields if I un-check the check box...

Hello All!
I am relatively new to creating forms within LiveCycle but I have learned quickly so bare with me on my question.
I have figured out how to highlight a field when a check box is clicked on, however, I cannot get it to remove the highlight when the check box is unchecked?
This is what I used for the highlight:
Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
Can anyone provide any insight or suggestions on how I might fix this script issue?
Thanks in advance!
-Lisa

Hi,
Script migth be something like this. Put it on Change event of the check box
if (this.rawValue == 1) { Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();
else
{ Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,0,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();

Highlighting a Field on BP transaction Through Error

I have some code I've written that in theory should highlight the field where I want the user to be directed to.
The problem is, the field in question is in a table control i.e. the Responsible Institution in the Identification numbers tab.
I have tried this for a non-table control field and the field text changes colour but the cursor isn't placed in the field.
Neither happens when I specify the field of the table control.
Is it that this just simply cannot be done or is there another approach?
My code below:
CALL FUNCTION 'BUS_MESSAGE_STATUS_SET'
EXPORTING
    msg_coll_status       = '1'.
         CALL FUNCTION 'BUS_MESSAGE_STORE'
            EXPORTING
               ARBGB = gc_msg_arbgb
               MSGTY = gc_msg_error
               TXTNR = '000'
               MSGV1 = 'You cannot use numerals in the institute name: '
               MSGV2 = gt_but0id-institute
               MSGV3 = '. Please change this.'
               TBFLD_STRG      = 'GT_BUT0ID-INSTITUTE'.
Many Thanks

Hi,
We can highlight the field contents in table control.
Put this code in PBO event.
---PBO
LOOP WITH CONTROL tb_control.
    MODULE screen_changes.
ENDLOOP.
MODULE screen_changes OUTPUT.
PERFORM screen_changes
ENDMODULE.
FORM screen_changes .
   LOOP AT SCREEN.
     if screen-name = 'TB_CONTROL-FLD1'.
        screen-intensified = '1'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
   ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.

Adding metadate in the field

hi
we are just now recieving our FCSVr and i would love to be able to add metadata in the field with the videographers on their laptops any ideas on workflow??? will "check in" be the way to bring this info back into the entire a facility?? also, what besides FCP are people using to make.movs from the .m2t

Unless you have your FCSvr on your extranet, you'll need to script this somehow. You could write a webpage that subsequently writes an XML file, and then set up a response from FCSvr to read in that XML file. Or you can set up an email account that people email information to, and is parsed by a script and then writes out the XML file. Or, if they are sending in quicktime files, they can add annotations to the quicktime files. Setup a metadata map in FCSvr so that the annotations map to your custom metadata field.
Check out this post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502389&tstart=15
As for the m2t from MOV, maybe something like Visual Hub? Does FCSvr not transcode the files?

Highlight Rows/Fields in Inetractive Report

What is the best way to conditionally highlight rows/field in an Interactive Report? I don't want to create filters that the users can see/turn off

Hello Bob,
Before you have to think about what happens (or should happen) if a user creates his own highlighting. That will interfere with the highlighting you created....
But you can set highlighting for a field in the select statement:
select      "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."ORDER_ITEM_ID" as "ORDER_ITEM_ID",
      "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."ORDER_ID" as "ORDER_ID",
      "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."PRODUCT_ID" as "PRODUCT_ID",
      CASE
         WHEN UNIT_PRICE < 200 THEN
         '<span style="display:block;width:30px;background-color:red;color:darkgreen;">'
         || unit_price
         || '</span>'
         ELSE to_char(unit_price)
         END UNIT_PRICE,
      "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."QUANTITY" as "QUANTITY"
from      "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS" "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"But remember that the outcome of your query now changed. If you sort upon UNIT_PRICE the <span> tag also is taken into consideration.

Highlight existing fields in pdf XI

Dear Sir / Madam,
Pl explain to me how to make highlight existing fields in pdf XI .
for your information pl find the below Prt Sc
Regards,
Raghupathi

Don't worry I lose myself sometimes....
In the first pic the radio buttons look like Squares because of the "Highlight Existing Fields" is active....but my reset/återställa and send/skicka are still their original artwork...
In the second pic the "Highlight Existing Fields" is turned off and the radio buttons look like I intended. I was wondering if the buttons were on a separate layer they would retain their artwork?
I don't know how the send and reset button differ in their function from the radio buttons...
Just not sure why the send and reset buttons retain their artwork and not the radio buttons....Must be missing something here....lol
I could live with the red highlighted text feilds as long as my artwork remains intact...

How do I retrieve the "Highlight Existing Fields" button in Reader?

I have a colleague who has Reader XI on Windows 7. She has opened a form I created in Acrobat Pro but does not have the "Highlight Existing Fields" option in the top right corner that I do when I open the form. I've searched high and low and cannot find where I need to go to make the darned thing appear for her. This probably will go down as the most stupid question of the day (maybe the week!), but I'm stuck! Many thanks to anyone who can help!

Thx for your answer!
BUT:
i do not need a program, that has to be installed...
i want to run a script, which extracts the serial, that i entered during setup. if Belarc is able to read this info, there should be an other way too!

Highlight required fields/Clear fillColor upon data entry

So here's what I'm trying to do in LifeCycle Designer 7. I have a dynamic form that I highlight the required fields by setting their fillColor to a blue upon form initialization. I then want the fields to go to transparent after data has been entered into them. But then if they delete that data, I want the color to return so they know they still need to put data in that field.
I've gotten some help from these forums, but I just can't seem to get it to where it needs to be. I can go between blue and white (w/ a visible border that I don't want), but I cannot get the fields to go completely transparent. If there was a way to automatically check the "Highlight Fields" and/or "Highlight Required Fields" boxes upon opening the pdf, I wouldn't have to do this at all.
So here is my code for the exit event of the fields:
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "")
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "hidden";
this.fillColor = "153,255,255";
else
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "visible";
this.fillColor = "255,255,255";
If I take out the fill in the else statement, it always stays blue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have the same problem, cannot get the fill color back to transparent.
Could you find a solution?

Chris

Highlight few fields based of condition

Hi Experts,
I have to highlight few fields which are changed.
Scenario is, i am reading materials from SAP & displaying it in a view in edit mode for change. On send it has an aproval process befor updating SAP database. The approver should be able to see what are the fields changes by highlighting them.
Along with that it should display the old value in tooltip.
Regards,
Nik.

Hi,
First try to implement the change log for these attirbutes...and create the context attirbute as STRING and also for
highlighitng you need to use the cell design property.
when you get the change log for these get the old value from that structure and set the value to this context attribute.
Bind this attirbute to the TOOLTIP property of the field and cell deisign respectively.
You might have got some button for APPROVAL right....
In this button handler,
get the change log,
set the attributes.
Regards,
Lekha.

Highlight required fields via script...

Does anyone know how to highlight all of the required fields via script?
Acrobat displays a checkbox for highlighting required fields, but it
is unchecked by default and the user has to click it each time they open
the document. I have yet to see a way to set it as a preference in
Acrobat or Reader and I don't see any way to enable this via an
initialize script either.
Any ideas?

This highlights ALL fields. I want to highlight only the required

ESS Message highlighting wrong field

In one of our ESS pages if you don't add the full address it giving a good message "Enter complete address of the family/related person" but then it is only turning the Country highlight on (turning cell outline red).
Where is the logic that controls where the message manager is reporting errors and highlighting a fields.
I need to understand if this is something controlled by the ABAP code or the Web Dynpro.
Diane

Hi Diane,
The highlighting is ofcourse done by webdynpro java code..But the logic of which is field to highlight is passed by the ABAP code inside the Function Module.

Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

Where did the "Highlight Existing Fields" button go (Acrobat DC)?

Adobe removed the forms message bar, which is where the field highlighting toggle button was. It turns out that the following user preference works as a toggle as well despite the confusing description:
Edit > Preferences > Forms > Highlight Color > Show border hover color for fields
You can also toggle it with the following JavaScript:
app.runtimeHighlight = !app.runtimeHighlight;
You can add this to a custom menu item or toolbar button to provide an easier means to toggle it.

Highlighting input field and table cell column in red colour

Hi,
       I have 4 input fields and a table in my screen. All the input fields are read only.
    I have a functionality where I have to highlight a input field with the red colour. In the sense, I have to put a thin Red border over the input field without thowing any errors or messages.
       Also, i have to highlight a particular cell in the table. i.e, i have to put Red colour border over the cell of the table for some rows only. Right now i have changed the background colour of the cell for required rows, but i need Red thin border rather than changing the entire background colour.
Please guide me on achieving these functionalities..
Thanks and Regards,
-Shabir Rahim.

Hi,
The red thin lines border you are talking about comes from the framework during the exceptions. If this is the case then refer the following links, hope this will help you.
[Re: Automatic message for inputfields with state=required]
[Re: Validation of InputField]
Well without exceptions, i dont think it will come.
thanks & regards,

Add row to ALV grid highlighting mandatory fields

hello experts,
I am using grid object of cl_gui_alv_grid to display output table. Rows can be added to grid using Insert Row button of ALV toolbar (No custom button added here). The requirement is to highlight the mandatory input cells either with border or display them in different color.
This needs to be done immediatly after pressing the Insert row button, but before the row is displayed on the screen as ready for input ( NOT as a part of data validation on save or enter button).
I tried following method:
- I SET HANDLER event_receiver->handle_user_command FOR obj_grid.
- I am handling EVENT before_user_command OF cl_gui_alv_grid
- I thought of modifying CELLTAB of inserted row in this event to set display properties of required entry fields
However, the problem I am facing here is, Insert_Row button directly populates a row on display screen without triggering before_user_command event.
Is there any way I can highlight the cells of inserted row when it's populated on screen?

Hi,
Indeed this event is not triggered for some standard function. Anyhow you could do some trick:
- hide standard insert row button
- add custom button with same icon on in
- then once you press it, you will be able to hanlde it in before_user_commnad event
If you want to stick to standard solution. maybe there is some flag which must be set with some SET.. or REGISTER... method. Unfortunatelly I am not aware of such switch.

Marcin
