To get the best answers, I think you probably need to break down your post into several different one with a separate question in each, along with the business problem you are trying to solve... but here's a few pointers for you to research...
Textbox - there's plenty of info in SDN on creating a custom control with a textbox e.g. Re: Text Editor on modulepool Screen and sample code in SAP too.
Attachments - If this is for an email, then GUI_UPLOAD might help and the BCS class is the newer way to send messages... check out Re: Offline Approval: RBBP_NOTIFICATION_OFFAPP Vs RSWUWFMLEC for example... if this is an attachment for an SAP object such as an FI Document or Purchase Order, then the Generic Object Services (GOS) could be what you want e.g. https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0e6b0d95-0a01-0010-4696-ca0a48de5fb3

Wondering how to create a text box with variables...

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how to create a text box, that at the beginning of the presentation, the audience fills in regarding what they think constitutes the role they have been chosen for.
I would like that same box to then appear at the end of the presentation, with the text they typed in at the beginning, so they can reflect on what they think now, and what they thought then. I understand this is done using variables, but i'm not 100% sure.
I hope I've worded this okay!

This screenshot shows the properties panel, Style tab for the TEB. I relabeled it to My_TEB, used the X button to create a user variable v_choice that will replace the generic Text_Entry_Box_1/
This is the properties panel of a Shape, I went in Edit mode (double clicking)to make the Character section appear, where you find the X button. It opens the dialog box 'Insert Variable' and you can choose the var associated with the TEB. The Maximum Length will define how many characters will be displayed, the value of a variable has maximum 256 characters.

Need Help: how to create url address in dynamic web (PHP)?

Guys,
I need your help! I'm a newbie in web designing, I just want to ask on how to create a web (dynamic page) link/url.
e.g. http://www.mypage.com/?=home
thanks a lot.

Setup a database table and populate the fields (i.e. auto-numerical_primary_key, id, dynamic_mod_url, title, article_content, etc.) then on your page create a filtered recordset where URL parameter (id) = your database table field (primary_key). Place the bindings of the filtered recordset on the page to show dynamic values for the filtered recordset based on the URL parameter. That way when someone visits yoursite.com/page.php?id=1 it will show the content for the database table where the primary key = 1 and so on. use dynamic_mod_url in conjunction with .htaccess dynamic mod rewrite to change yoursite.com/page.php?id=1 into yoursite.com/the_name_of_dynamic_mod_url_for_primary_key_1.html

This may be a basic question... but in InDesign, how does one determine the pixel size of a text box? Specifically, we need to write text to specifications of 600 pixel width, and have no idea a) how to scale a text box to specific pixel width, b) how to determine what word count we can fit in, and c) how to do it in a table? Thanks!

Set your ruler increments to pixels Preferences>Units & Increments. You can fill the text box with placeholder text Type>Fill with Placeholder text and get a word count from the Info panel with Show Options turned on from the flyout.
From the Transform panel you can set a text box's width and height

Create expandable text boxes & maintain Indesign interactive features

I have a form created in indesign which has interactive buttons included. I exported to pdf and now need to add expandable text boxes. I tried to do this in Livecycle but when i imported the pdf as a flowable form (with a view to make it dynamic) the interactive buttons i had created disappeared. is there a way around this so that i can create expandable text boxes but still maintain the buttons i have created?
PS i am completely new to Livecycle

Hi Reggie,
Here are two versions. One form with a fixed number of pages and the other with a variable number of pages (you can add additional page 1).
In the fixed number of pages, the click event of the index button includes the following instruction to go to a target page:
xfa.host.currentPage = 1;
This works because the page we want is always "1".
If the form is dynamic and the number of pages can increase (or decrease) from those set at design, then we need to track the actual page number of each target page, at runtime.
The script in the index button now looks like this:
xfa.host.currentPage = page2.thisPage.rawValue - 1;
Here the target page is page2 and on this page we have a field called "thisPage". The instruction is to jump to the current value of thisPage on page 2.
For each target page that you want to index, you will need a hidden field (thisPage). You need to put this on each page and not on the Master Page.
Hopefully the examples will help explain this.
This is how we do it, there probably are other solutions out there.
In relation to the second part, the link feature in Acrobat will not work with a form developed in LC Designer. Paul has a thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1923918#1923918) with a PDF for attaching documents, which were then listed in a list box. This could help you in developing your form.
Another option is to have a button which becomes visible is there are attachments in the PDF. The click event then shows/hides the attachment panel. The user can then see the attachment and double click on the one they want/need. I know it is not as clean, but it is easier to implement. The javascript for the button would be:
app.execMenuItem("ShowHideFileAttachment");
Hope that helps,
Niall

Create editable text boxes in pdf

How do I create editable text boxes in a pdf that I uploaded to Acrobat? I can only fill and sign at this point (but have a subscription to Adobe).

You need Acrobat, either Standard or Pro, either as a full license or a
subscription.

How to Create a DropDown Box in a Selection Screen.

Hi,
I have a question. i.e, How to create a dropdown box in a Selection Screen. Could you please assist me.
Thanks & Regards
Sathish Kumar

hi satish,
The following can assist u to create a drop down ....
Drop down list box can be created in a dialog screen(SE51) as well as selection screen.
The sap list box allows to select a value from the list but we cannot enter our own value in the list box .The value list that will be displayed consists of two
fields TEXT field of TYPE 80(C) and internal KEY field of TYPE 40(C).
In screen painter to create a input/output field into list box we use
'L" as a value for dropdown attribute for the i/o field.
In screen painter to determine the type of method that will be used to fill the value
list we use the attribute value list.
If it is blank the value list will be filled by the first column of the input help assigned to the screen field.This input help can be defined in the ABAP Dictionary, on screen using SELECT,VALUES screen statements or in event POV (PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST ) and the input help that will be passed to the field should consists of 2 columns ,the key column is filled automatically by the system.SAP recommends value list field should be blank.
or
The value can be 'A' meaning that the value list will be filled in the event PBO(PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT) or before the screen is displayed.In this method we use function module VRM_SET_VALUES to fill the values and pass it to the i/o field.
If a function code is attached to the list box the selection of a value triggers a PAI
otherwise PAI will not trigger.
Example
Dropdown list boxes
REPORT DEMO_DYNPRO_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX.
TYPE-POOLS VRM.
DATA: NAME TYPE VRM_ID,
      LIST TYPE VRM_VALUES,
      VALUE LIKE LINE OF LIST.

    WRITE WA_SPFLI-DEPTIME TO VALUE-TEXT
                           USING EDIT MASK '__:__:__'.
    CONCATENATE VALUE-TEXT

                WA_SPFLI-CITYTO
                INTO VALUE-TEXT SEPARATED BY SPACE.
    APPEND VALUE TO LIST.
ENDSELECT.
CALL FUNCTION 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
       EXPORTING
            ID              = NAME
            VALUES          = LIST.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_100.
SAVE_OK = OK_CODE.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
IF SAVE_OK = 'CARRIER'
     AND NOT DEMOF4HELP-CARRIER2 IS INITIAL.
    LEAVE TO SCREEN 200.
ELSE.
    SET SCREEN 100.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_200.
SAVE_OK = OK_CODE.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
IF SAVE_OK = 'SELECTED'.
    MESSAGE I888(BCTRAIN) WITH TEXT-001 DEMOF4HELP-CARRIER2
                                        DEMOF4HELP-CONNID.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
Reward if useful.
Thank you,

Hi Experts...
Can you please explain me how to create a Text variable...
In my Cube i had 3 different date fields....
and as per my requirment i need to create a rolling report for which will display data for 6 months rolling.
As the date field which i need to use is not mapped to Time Char's (Cal Year,Cal Month...etc)
For that reason i created below customer exit variable and used offset variables to achieve the rolling 6 months report
Code used for Customer Exit VAriable:
WHEN 'ZC_Cmonth1'. " Current Cal Month Car Expiry
IF i_step = 2.
      CLEAR l_s_range.
determine date
    LV_SYDAT     = SY-DATUM.
    LV_YEAR_ACT = SY-DATUM+0(4).
    LV_MONTH_ACT = SY-DATUM+4(2).
Set begin date of intervall
CONCATENATE LV_YEAR_ACT LV_MONTH_ACT '01' INTO LV_DATE_LOW.
Set end date of intervall
CONCATENATE LV_YEAR_ACT LV_MONTH_ACT '31' INTO LV_DATE_HIGH.
Fill ranges-tab with: include all values between beginning of year
and actual date
CLEAR E_T_RANGE.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LV_DATE_LOW.
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LV_DATE_HIGH.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.

How can I embed text box on photos?

How can I embed text box on photos?

Did this software slow down the system in your experience?
No, not afaik. It behaves like any other external editor. You do not need to have it running in the background all the time. Just activate it from the contextual menu after ctrl-clicking the image you want to annotate and select "Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX" from the pop-up menu (or Photos -> Edit with plug-in -> BorderFX) .
Corky02 really said it all - the only draw back is that this plug-in really is more like an export plug-in and the edited version will create a new master.

How to create conditional dialog box

Hi Everyone
I am creating a database application in APEX 4.0. In that application a page requires a dialog box, which has to appear when a user clicks on Submit button.
It has to consider validations and appear after validations and submit button is clicked. Here the Submit button submits the entire page after validations by updating the database table.
Please help me out how to create a dialog box which has to appear by the click of Submit button.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sandeep

Hi Kiran

Saying 'Thank you for answering' if he is done with all questions or if he has more questions to answer pop up with different message 'You have more questions to answer'.
In both the cases page as to get submitted when clicked on Submit button.
Thanks in advance

How do I remove text boxes from Pages

I have an awful time with Pages on my lap top. I am used to Appleworks 6.2 on my older desktop (PowerMac G4 / OS 10.4.11). If I specify a US letter page I get that in Appleworks, it is then 8.1/2" x 11", without running into pre-existing formats or other similar distractions. I can immediately type a neat business letter.
Not with Pages. On my MacBookAir, with Pages 4.3 and OS 10.8.4, I can type alright, but when I want to print what I typed, only a small part of what I typed shows up in in Print Preview of my typed page. After a bit of backtracking, I notice a blue-lined rectangle on my typed page containing the portion of my typing that appeared in that Print Preview. It is apparently a self-formed "text box", that was not a part of my blank template page and was not inserted by me while or just before I typed.
I did not find any way to delete the edges of that text box. The "delete" option under the pull down edit menu is blanked out. If I click on the "Text box " symbol in the menu bar it does not let me switch off the text box, but instead gives me another text box inside the first one! I suppose this is to allow user to print only a single keyboard stroke of the entire letter. The "Inspector" seems to have no options to set text boxes.
Pages "Help" Menu has nothing of how to delete a text box, or how to prevent it in the first place from screwing up what you have typed in such manner that it becomes unprintable.
Similarly a small rectangular box formed on both the top and the bottom of each page (which could be a space reserved for a header or footer), but again I do not use these on my business letters, and they appear self-formed by Pages, and I would like to know how to prevent them, or delete them.
In other words I like to get a blank page to start with, which will only set up and type what "I, THE USER" enter on my keyboard.
Can anybody tell me how to this with Pages?
(PS. I can do it with even with Thunderbird !)

1. Open a blank Word Processing template (they are listed in the Template Chooser sidebar), you have opened a Layout template that requires Textboxes for you to type into.
2. To select a Textbox hold down the command key and click on its edge or lassoo it, then hit delete.
3. If you don't want Headers or Footers, uncheck them in the Document Inspector
4. Download the Pages09_UserGUide.pdf from under the Help menu and familiarise yourself with Pages' basics. Also look around your Menus and Inspectors which are laid out logically from left to right from broad to details.
I suggest you click inside your textbox first go command a and copy the contents before you delete it and then paste that into a new Word Processing template.
