Pressing ENTER during text box focus

When I have clicked and entered text in my text box I would
like to be able to press ENTER to submit the information (Players
name) then move to the next frame. Right now I can press enter to
go to next frame until I my cursor is focused on the text box.
Please tell me the action script to make pressing ENTER on
the keyboard work.
Thanks folks

I cant find anything that tells me how to disable keyboard
shortcuts and I dont know what as2 or as3 means?
My main problem is wanting my user to press enter while
focused on a text box I need the action script to do that.

NO text box focus

Is there anyway I can make it so that none of the text boxes
on my slide have the focus when it is loaded; i.e. no blinking
cursor anywhere?
I know how to force the cursor into a specific box, but
couldn't find how to remove the cursor until a user clicked.
Thanks.

Hi WestatMSB and welcome to our community from me too!!
Hi to you too Rick, hope you are keeping well.
I am going to do the long shaky limb tango here and suggest
that instead of using all the tech stuff, to simply make a copy of
the slide with the text boxes on, remove all the text boxes and
place a click box at the point where you would want the user to
start the inputs. User clicks on the box, slide show moves on and
the only change seen is that a cursor starts flashing in the box
that you have specified.
Yes, No? Please post back as I am really curious about
this!!

How can I type on a PDF file? Do I need a specific version of Adobe to enter a text box?

I would rather type my information onto the page rather than hand write it and I don't have access to a type writer. How can I type my info onto the application?? Please help!

With Adobe Reader XI, you can add text comments and notes, as well as adding new text boxes using the Comment pane shown below:
However, if you actually need to edit text, you'll need to purchase Acrobat XI from Adobe.

Flash 11.1 on Firefox 19.0 on android is not allowing text to be entered into text boxes (through flash) - how can i resolve this?

My neice is trying to use the Build-a-Bear website, which requires Flash to login and run its services. However, the plug in is loading correctly, but we cannot enter letters into the login box, just numbers.
It's not a firefox problem with entering text as on other websites (such as BBC) text can be entered into plain search boxes.
How can I resolve this?

Is there any timescale as to when it's likely to be resolved?

How can labview update the string control (text-edit box) after we have pressed the carriage return key on the keyboard during text-editing within that box?

Dear readers,
I have been trying to work out how to get labview to detect the event when a 'string' control has been modified, where the user has finished editing the string either by 1) pressing the enter key on the keyboard, or by 2) taking the focus away from the string control again. For example.. if I use the mouse to click on the string control and then I type 1234 into the box, I would like to have a routine that does something once the user hits the Enter key of the keyboard, or when the user takes the focus away from the string control again by clicking on something else. I would like the routine to respond even when the user didn't change anything in the text box (such as when we mouse-click on the edit box to go into edit mode, and then mouse-click on something else to remove the focus with no changes to the contents in edit-box).
The purpose of my routine is to have a edit-box for a user to change for example the centre-frequency of a vector network analyser, so that the centre-frequency of the network analyser can change once the user finishes entering a new value in the text-edit box by hitting Enter key after the number is keyed in. Even if the user has clicked on the edit box, but changes their mind by mouse-clicking on something else to remove focus from the edit box, I would still like labview to detect the event when the control loses focus, so that the centre frequency can be updated anyway (to the same value that was already in the edit box).
So far, I've tried set the string control option to 'limit to single line', so that I can try to scan for a carriage return .. '\n' ... pattern in the string. Unfortunately this doesn't work because labview doesn't seem to attach the '\n' to the end of that single line.
Could someone please suggest ways to set a flag when a user hits Enter during text-edit mode of a string control, or when focus has been removed from the string control?
While I've only described my problem for controlling a single control parameter on the gpib device, I'd like to make this feature work so that I can do the same kind of thing with other control parameters as well.
Thanks so much in advance.
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
instead of using the event structure, you can directly achieve to what you want by the KeyFocus property of the string control.
- Enable Limit to single line option
- Create the property KeyFocus in read mode and connect an indicator
Each time you click on the string to modify it KeyFocus is True; when you click away or hit Enter KeyFocus is False.
You can toggle your settings when KeyFocus changes from True to False.

CAT2 T-CODE: changing A/A type texts when pressing enter

Hi all..
I am working with CAT2 T-code.
after giving data entry profile and personnel number when I am giving entries in A/A type and pressing enter one text is displayed for that particular type. If I am pressing enter one more time, the text of that A/A type is again changing to some other text.
My requirement is to maintain the same text which is been populated in F4 help of that A/A type field.
pls help me out with your valuable suggestions.
Its urgent.
Thanks in advance..

I have found it..
there was a Z class maintained for triggering these values.
But these are populating different values which I need to stop and provide only the values which are been populated for F4 help of that particular field.
There was a field moabw in catsd.
I hv to maintain this field with 08 value to get the desired output.

Pressing enter to tab to next text box in a tabular form

Hi all.
Does anyone know how to configure an Apex tabular report so when a user hits enter, it will tab to the next text box?
Thanks

I've been looking at this for a long time. My conclusion: because the BROWSER defines what actions the keys take, you either have to re-map the keys (a scary proposition) or just train your users to get used to that feature of web applications. A normal application has the capability to re-map the keys; web apps aren't quite as flexible in this regard.

Capturing Enter key event from text box

In my application, there are a number of text boxes. I want to create a feature where an enter key even is seen and specific function executed depending on which text box was in focus when the enter key was pressed. Currently I am able to capture an enter key event on the whole page. How do I do that specifically for a text box?
This application is done in HTML, javascript and Adobe AIR.
Thanks

Hi
That's true that Flex4.5 SDK under Flash builder Burito doesn't listen Enter key in Text Area for KeyUp or KeyDown event.
Here I found a work around you can use.
Add an eventlistener to the component in actionscript and set the useCapture=true next to eventlistener function. Now you can listen enter key for KeyUp or KeyDown Event
Hope this helps

Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the Location Bar?

I can use Alt+D to get to the Location Bar to type in a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page has been opened, by using a short-cut key? I didn't recognize any of the commands in the Shortcut Keys page as being what I want.

This was helpful, but didn't really answer the question. Pressing Tab when I"m on the google Location Bar takes me to the search text box, which is what my motivation for writing the question was, but I notice that on many pages, it doesn't work. This page, for instance.
I went to the about:config page and changed the <b>accessibility:tabfocus</b> from 1 (tab through every element) to 5 (only tab to the text boxes and links) but it seems to still tab through every element.

Lose focus when tabbing out of autoSubmit text box in IE

Hey,
Using JDEV 11.1.1.4 I have a problem with tabbing from one textbox to another textbox in IE. Both text boxes have autoSubmit=true and to reproduce the problem it's like so:
I type a value or edit the existing one into text box 1 and press Tab. The submit is done and focus is given to the second text box but only momentarily before it loses focus. The focus then is given to the window it would appear, because if I press Tab again it begins from the top of the page. This is only happening in IE (v8 is all I have tried so far). This ONLY happens when the value of the second box is null. If it has a value all works fine.
I tried implementing various solutions including using the ExtendedRenderKitService to write javascript to the client from the bean to set focus on the text box after the partial render. The javascript is called and focus is set but then something else calls blur on it afterwards. I have verified this by putting a blur event listener on it and it gets called after I set focus on it from my own javascript!
Has anyone experienced something similar? Just to note: It only happens in IE, and it only happens when the second text box is empty.
Thanks,
Ross

Hey John,
In reply to your message
1). Tried on 11.1.1.6 to see if the issue is still there?Not really an option to try and upgrade and test if it works there.
2). Made a simple test case removing as many variables as possible (e.g. do a simple screen with no DB interaction and only two fields) to see if it reproduces or it's something with your screen?Tried this an it works fine which means it is something unique to my code.
3). Filed an SR at https://support.oracle.com with your test case
As above it looks like it's not a problem with ADF so I will keep looking at it.

Lines appear under all text when you press enter--edit?

Hello,
I have a text box, whose formatting I want to edit.
When you press enter a horizontal line appears automatically before you enter in text on the new line. I want to edit this line so it is closer to the text.
Where do I go to edit this feature? I already looked in text frame options and I know that it is not a style.
Thanks,

Sounds like a paragraph rule.

How to set focus in text box at server side

Hi,
I have small problem , i have a text box in form , which is get validated at server side in servlet , if it found some thing wrong then it throws exception , i want that when an exception is thrown it should set focus for that perticular text box. so what should i write to perform such a activity.

Get hold of the element ID in the servlet (and keep the code conventions) and print it out to some Javascript function which does a focus during the onload.
There's an example of focus/highlight using JSP/Servlet/Javascript in this article: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/07/dao-tutorial-use-in-jspservlet.html]. Also see the screenshots at the very bottom.

Text box should get focus

Hi,
          In my jsp page I have a form witho two text fields i.e input type="text"
          These two text fields get the values from scanning. Since scanning
          generates an event enter(it is going to submit the form), so after I scan
          the first value to the first text box, the second text box should get focus
          and after the ticket is scanned to the 2nd text box it should submit the
          form and the focus should return to the
          2nd text box and not the first one.
          Thanks

Unable to enter text in text boxes in Safari

When using Safari 6.0.2 I frequently cannot enter text into a text box. If I open a new page, it will work fine for a while and then develop the same problem. Anybody else have this problem and find a solution?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Black dot in text box, can't enter texg

Hello,
I have a black dot in both text boxes, and when I try to enter text, the canvas gets "crazy" on the left side. I fixed it this morning, but now I have it again, and I can't recall what I did to fix it.
Thank you

Your guess is correct, Sir Doug of Gilmore, as is your suggestion to create a new track.
The black dot appears when the selected track is a graphic or other object, such as a background.
To the original poster and asker of questions, LiveType treats eveything as if it were typeable. Press any key and your object will appear once more, in so far as that it fits in the frame.
Please do not ask which one is the "Any" key.
Disclaimer: "typeable" is not neccessarily a word that you will find in a dictionary.
