Preformatted Dropdowns and Input Masks?

I would like to know if there is an EASY way to create a "Country" dropdown field?
I would also like to know when formcentral will support more input masks? I am not talking anything real elaborate here; just basic form 101 things like: phone number input, character limits in numeric fields, disallowing numbers for text fields (alpha characters only).
I am extremely unhappy with having to upgrade from the trial to actually fully test drive the product, only to discover that these real basic features are not here.

Hi;
There is not an easy way to create a dropdown field of Countries without inputting them one at a time (or copying from another form).
I'm sorry you felt you needed to upgrade, you did not need to "upgrade" to discover the features are not there. This chart shows the features in the "Free" version and what the two paid levels include: https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/features/compare-plans.html In order to try a "Basic" plan we offer 99 cents for the 1st month of the subscription for you to give it a more in depth trial and test the paid features, but again the features you are asking about are not included in that list of paid features.
I can't speak to whether or when those features might be added to FormsCentral.
Thanks,
Josh

Input Masks and Single Choice Fields (drop down menu) Suggestions

Here's a few suggestions - I hope this is the right place to post these...
1. I would like to suggest a pre-filled state single choice field (drop down menu) to be used to get address information. Or better yet a way to import a csv file to fill the preset fields for an option box.
2. Input masks that force users to enter the data in the format you prefer. (000) 000-0000
3. Ability to enable or disable options depending on other choices.
4. Option for a list of numbers say 1 thru 100 and as people pick a registration (car number in my case) that choice cannot be picked again by another user for that form. Load values from a table that can be picked several times or only once could work in both my suggestions.
Thank You.

Hello there,
Thanks for these thoughts! They're all really good (and welcome) suggestions for additions to the FormsCentral service. As you might imagine, we're busily working back here to implement new features; we have big plans for FormsCentral. For these suggestions in particular, I'll do two things:
1. Send these suggestions to the product team and get them added to the to-do list!
2. Move the whole thread here into the FormsCentral Ideas sub-forum. That way, your suggestions will be noted as such and well-documented on our end.
Thanks for the great ideas; let us know if you have any more feedback for us!

Text input mask

Hi All,
I want to add a mask to a text input field, so the user can only type numbers on it (integers, more specifically), I think that this is done by a Converter but it doesn't add the apropriate javascript.
How Can I do this? And if I want to mask to only floats?

are you talking about immediate input masking? as user types a phone number say xxx xxx xxxx, it'll automatically adds "-" in between? that, you would have to use javascript.
otherwise, create a custom converter and attach to your input box
<f:converter id="yourcompany.path.PhoneConverter"/>
convert user's phone number to yoru format.. othewise, generate a conversion error message

How do I create a save button to hide a dropdown and pass on the dropdown data to a label?

Hi InDesign Scripting Experts!
I'm desparetly looking for some help to get this issue resolved.
Essentially I've a lot of PDF forms that've been designed by using InDesign CS4 and then converted to an interactive PDF via Adobe Lifecycle. The final 2 page PDF form has multiple textfields, a drop down and a save button. The users partially fill-in the form, select their name from the dropdown and then hit the save button prior to sending the PDF form to the client.
The Save button does the following:
- Passes on the data from the drop down to a label
- Hides the drop down and
- finally, hides itself ('Save' button)
I understand InDesign CC has a lot of the Livecycle capability built-it. Hence I'm trying to design the inteactive PDF within InDesign CC. The textfields, dropdown etc. are easily done. The part that I'm stuck on is to get the 'Save' button to perform the above listed tasks.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Elizabeth,
Presuming that editing the exisiting BOSTON is not an option, you may:
1) Create a nostroke/nofill rectangle that covers all all word, then give it a white fill;
2) In the Transparency palette flyout tick Make Opacity Mask with Clip unticked and Invert Mask ticked.
That should remove the BOSTON from sight so you can retype it.
You could use a black fill and leave Invert Mask unticked (if the black is black enough).

Save a phone number without the input mask

Hi,
I actually have 2 related issues that I hope you might be able to help me with.
I have a form linked to an interactive report, so when I click a record, the form is populated with the record's data. I just started using the new text field masked input plugin to handle phone number formatting, etc., which Patrick recommended.
The plugin works nicely when a phone number being displayed from the source is 10 characters. The input mask I'm using is (999) 999-9999. However, I also have phone numbers in records that don't include the area code. When I select one of those records, the phone number field is blank. I would like it to display 999-9999, and be right justified. Is there an easy fix for that?
My next problem occurs when I try to save the record. The process tries to save the phone number, including the mask, (14 characters), to the table. I only want to save the number to the table, excluding the mask. I'm sure there is a way to do this but I haven't found it yet.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Gary

This is my solution to parsing the number only from the masked phone number:
1) Create a field, 'P1_PHONE_MASKED', with a phone number mask: (?***) 999-9999
2) Create a hidden Database Column like: 'P1_PHONE' It will initially hold the value of the record's phone column.
3) create a javascript function in the page's before header section, between the space tags, to strip out all non-numeric values and update the hidden field:
function remmask(src,tar){
var mystring = $x(src).value;
mystring = mystring.replace(/\D/g,'');
$x(tar).value = mystring;
4) Place the function call in the from in the HTML Form Elements Attributes of P1_PHONE_MASKED: onBlur="javascript:remmask('P1_PHONE_MASKED','P1_PHONE');"
Now, anytime you change the value in P1_PHONE_MASKED, P1_PHONE gets updated with just the number values from P1_PHONE_MASKED.
You can also add validation to the function to ensure that the length of the phone number is either 7, no area code, or 10, including area code. Normally, the mask should handle validation, but as you can see, to make this work, I had to make the mask more flexible, to allow for alpha numeric values in the first 3 positions and to allow for either 7 or 10 characters. Unfortunately, that means a user could enter something like XXX12 and the mask won't reject it.
Partial solution to displaying ( ) 999-9999 in the masked input field P1_PHONE_MASKED when initially selecting a record for display.
1) Make the Source Type for P1_PHONE_MASKED "SQL Query"
2) Insert a query similar to the one below into "Source Value or Expression"
SELECT
CASE
WHEN length(METAREPO.CONTACTS.CONTACT_PHONE) = 10
THEN
METAREPO.CONTACTS.CONTACT_PHONE
WHEN length(METAREPO.CONTACTS.CONTACT_PHONE) = 7
THEN
'___'||METAREPO.CONTACTS_2011.CONTACT_PHONE
END
FROM METAREPO.CONTACTS
WHERE METAREPO.CONTACTS.CONTACT_ID = :P1_CONTACT_ID
This will display 7 digit phone nubers as follows: (___) 999-9999 in the masked field: P1_PHONE_MASKED.
I wanted to use spaces between the () to make it perfect, but I'm unable to get this to work. I've tried things like:
' '||METAREPO.CONTACTS_2011.CONTACT_PHONE
LPAD(METAREPO.CONTACTS_2011.CONTACT_PHONE,3,' ')
Both of which work in PL/SQL Developer, but not in Apex. I believe this is because HTML collapses spaces by default.
I would like very much to resolve this last issue. Any suggestions?

Gary

Save an input mask as variant for a method of a Z class

Hi all,
quite a dumb question, but I switched to OO abap recently and can't find this feature...
When I'm creating a custom function module, I can test in debug simply lauching it and saving parameters of the input mask iin a Variant, so that I can try the run with these params whenever I want simply loading the variant I saved.
Now... I'm working on a method in a custom class; I'd like to test but everytime I have to populate the parameter mask since I can't find a "save variant" option. Is there any way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Could write an ABAP UNIT class and definition and perform ABAP UNIT test on the object...ABAP Unit is regression testing for programmers but I do development testing with the tool.

Toggle composite and grayscale mask in Quick Mask mode : Problem

Hello.
I have a problem with this command : "Toggle composite and grayscale mask in Quick Mask mode"
I know i have to press the tidle key " ~ " to activate it but i'm using an Azerty keyboard (belgium) and i have trouble with it.
The only way i can use the tidle key on my keyboard is to press "Option + n" keys.
So in Photoshop, i load a channel selection, turn into "quick mask mode" and then press "Option + n", but nothing happens.
If i try with "Command+Option+n", i open the window for a new document.
I have tried ALL combination of keys but nothing worked.
I have also tried to change the keyboard input to Britain, Usa, etc but it still doesn't work.
I'm using the english version of Photoshop CS6 (Subscription), and an Azerty Keyboard (Belgium) on a Mac Osx Snow leopard.
How can i solve this problem ?

Do you have an AltGr key on the right side of the keyboard?
Anyway on a windows system set to your language/keyboard layout i can hold down the AltGr key while pressing the tilde key (on the right side of the keyboard up and to the right of the AltGr key)
and that seems to work in photoshop in place of tilde key on an us english keyboard.
Not sure what the AltGr key would be on a mac system, maybe the option key on the right side of the keyboard?
Added:
I don't think it will work on an english version of cs6, you probably need a localized version of cs6.
If your on the subscrition plan you can change the language version of photoshop cs6.

ADF Table filter issue with OR or AND input value

Hi all,
adf:table filterable fields for OR or AND input value not works. Actually One of column is for State and it has "OR" value for -> OREGON State.
and I tried using filterModel and queryListener for table attribute. But I am not getting exact clue where I need to fix for this issue. Any suggestion and help is appreciated greatly.
jdev version 11.1.1.3
Thank you.

Something like this might work for the one case:
public void handleQuery(QueryEvent queryEvent){
    // Replace the OR with an equivalent condition
    Map m =
      ((FilterableQueryDescriptor) (queryEvent.getDescriptor())).getFilterCriteria();
    for (Map.Entry entry: (Collection<Map.Entry>) m.entrySet())
      if (entry.getValue() != null &&
          StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(entry.getValue().toString(), "OR"))
        entry.setValue("O AND _R");
    // Process The Query
    ELUtils.invokeMethod("#{bindings.VOQuery.processQuery}",
                         QueryEvent.class, queryEvent);
    // Put the OR back
    for (Map.Entry entry: (Collection<Map.Entry>) m.entrySet())
      if (entry.getValue() != null &&
          StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(entry.getValue().toString(),
                                       "O AND _R"))
        entry.setValue("OR");

Thunderbolt, LCD TV, and Input / Display lag

I had a Mac Mini and a large, 55 inch Vizio LCD TV I use for periodic browsing and video watching when I can't use my Apple TV. However, input lag was a problem as the mouse and other inputs were always a fraction of a second off, even with all the filters and processing on the TV turned off.
I recently got the new Macbook Pro 13" since the Thunderbolt port boasts phenomenal output and input speed. Seems to have eliminated the problem. I don't sense the slightest amount of input lag while using my TV. Just in case anyone had any worries, in my case the Macbook Pro connects very effortlessly and input lag is not an issue.
Just thought I'd throw this out as everyone seems to want the new Macbook Pro to have a 3840 pixel resolution and a built in massage chair or something.

Thanks for posting your positive feedback on Thunderbolt. Some people have been concerned on connection issues. It helps to hear the success stories too.

How to create HUs and input SNs for a Inbound Delivery by BDC or Function?

I need to create HUs and input SNs for Inbound Delivery Order as VL32N.
At first, I create a BDC program using T-code VL32N, it does work for a few HUs in one Order, but when there are more than 5 HUs in one order, the later can't be input by this program, because the table control of HUs only display 5 records in my screen, so it need page down during BDC process, while in Ttl content, there 16 rows displayed, it need page down after 8 records. But different user have different screen size, so my program doesn't work for all user.
What should we do for turn page in BDC program?
OR
Is there any function can be used for creating HUs and input SNs for Inbound Delivery?

How did you solve this issue, Can you give me some clue?

How to display time duration (NOT dates) with an input mask in a JTable?

Background: I am trying to display in a JTable, in two columns, the start position and time duration of an audio clip.
They are stored as type float internally eg. startPosition = 72.7 seconds.
However I wish to display on screen in the table in HH:mm:ss:S format. eg. 00:01:12:7. The user can edit the cell and input values to update the internal member fields.
Problem: I am finding it very difficult to implement this - what with the interactions of MaskFormatter, DefaultCellEditor etc.
Also using SimpleDateFormat and DateFormatter does not work as they insist on displaying the day, month, year also in the table cell.
Taking the Swing Tutorial TableFTFEditDemo example as a template,

What is the white screen with padlock and input bar mean on mini

My mini came on with a question mark over a file. When I tried to remotely install osx with laptop I now have a screen with a padlock and input bar under it what does that mean?

Hi Tolmivooz,
So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Best,
Nubz
