DropDownList prompt text color over

How do you set the prompt text color for a DropDownList in the over state.
The DropDownListButtonSkin has an over state so I can set anything to do with the button in this skin.
However, the prompt does not belong to the button but to the DropDownList itself. The DropDownList skin does not have an over state.
I am trying to create a UI where the prompt color and style changes as the user mouses over the DDL but I can't see how to do this.

Hi,
Did you ever manage to solve this? I'm having exactly the same problem
Many thanks in advance

Hello,
The table name is indicated in the query data source name property of the block
Get_Block_Property( 'bloc_name', QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME ) ;
The column name is indicated in the column name item property

How to force all characters in prompt text field will be in uppercase???

Hi everybody
How to get that all characters in a prompt field of a Webi report will be compared in uppercase with the database field ?? Even if the user input text in lower case.
this is due to the database all filelds are in uppercase, and avoid to say to the users they input fileds in uppercase.
i looked for a parameter in a universe and in oracle.prm filed, and i didn´t find it.
Thanks in advance
Guillermo
DB: ORACLE 10G
BO: XI r2

Thanks a lot rohy.
now i use that solution, but my intention is try to solve to all objects, not each object individualy, due to i have a lot of objects that a user can choose from a prompt, and i have a lot of filters to do that
i would like to change some parameter to do that at one time.
i investigate about it......
thanks again.
best regards Guillermo
have a nice day

Disable prompt text

Hello all,
I have a form with a couple of database fields. I have to hide a field when it has a certain status. The problem is to hide the prompt of this item.
if c_pro%found then
set_item_property('FILES.DEINUSE', visible, property_true);
set_item_property('FILES.DEINUSE', enabled, property_true);
set_item_property('FILES.DEINUSE', update_allowed , property_true);
set_item_property('FILES.DEINUSE', displayed , property_true);
else
set_item_property('FILES.DEINUSE', visible, property_false);
set_item_property('FILES.DEINUSE', enabled, property_false);
The field is disabled en not visible, but the prompt remains visible. I have tried "PROMPT_DISPLAY_STYLE", but its not working. The prompt is a button above the field.
Thnx.

Hi,
Make sure the caption is the prompt of the item itself. If an item is hidden, then its prompt will also be hidden. The caption may be a independent Text. And we can't change the TEXT item's property runtime.

Manu.

Opening file in Illustrator prompts "Text Import Options" and does not open file correctly.

I've been dealing with this issue for quite a while and I am thoroughly stumped. A co-worker has emailed me .ai files in the past without issue. In the last couple months, however, her attached .ai files no longer open properly.
This is the first screen I get when trying to open the files:
Regardless of what checkboxes are marked or options changed, the outcome is always the same:
If you can't read that, the error code is as follows:
{"Body":{"ErrorCode":500,"FaultMessage":"Unable to get write stream for mac attachment.","IsTransient":false}}
Putting this line of code into Google returns exactly "0" finds.
Nobody else in the company seems to have an issue with opening the same file when this co-worker forwards it to them. I did notice, however, that the file is 141 kb within her email, but when I download it, it shrinks to 344 bytes. I don't know if for whatever reason my computer is just not downloading all of the information or what might be going on.
To reiterate, these are the facts that I know:
1. She is on a mac and I am on a PC.
2. We are both using Illustrator CS6.
3. Other co-workers on PCs do not have this problem when she emails it to them.
4. The file shrinks from 141 kb to 344 bytes when I try to download it from her email.
Edit: I just had her send the email to my personal gmail account and the file opened perfectly, so this appears to be an issue with office365.com which is where my business email is located. Everyone else here uses the same email service, however, so this is still an isolated issue with my account.
Any help or ideas would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!

Thank you for the reply. We went through a lot of different ideas to try and fix this, but zipping the file never even crossed our minds for some reason... :\

Text Input Prompt

Does anyone tried to build some text input field that can do prompt? Something like auto-complete in source code edit. It would mean that:
- we have to make the rest of the prompt text gray
- the cursor blinks right after the user input characters
- if user click space bar, the first word in prompt become solid and cursor moves to next word.
Is this something that's possible to do for iPhone?

- How do I programmatically place the cursor in the middle of a word
- How do I font/color part of word in text input control
- How do I select the text up to or from where the cursor is...
You can't. You can't. You can't. At least not with a UITextField.
I've done more or less of what you are looking for in PocketMoney for auto completing transaction. You need to do a lot of rolling of your own code to pretend you have UITextField.
What I ended up doing is drawing the uncompleted text at the end of the current text input of the UITextField that I subclassed.

Questions on PROMPT() in DM

Hi,
a couple of questions regarding the PROMPT() options in a data manager package:
1) is it possible to refer to a dimension member list of an existing dimension when using TEXT of COMBOBOX option? I only succeed to hard coding the possible values ... (we want to let the user key in a value for one dimension, but ensure only one value can be selected, which is not possible using the SELECTINPUT option for example ...)
2)syntax of PROMPT(TEXT, [variable], [label], [PWD], [VALIDATE LIST] -> what does PWD stands for?
3) PROMPT type MESSAGE: does anyone now what this is used for and how it works?
regards
D

Hi nilanjan,
I tried various statements, but always get value %TIME_SET% displayed, instead of the individual records:
some examples
1)
PROMPT(COMBOBOX,%DPA%,"select tme time dim combo",,1,{%TIME_SET%})
2)
PROMPT(COMBOBOX,%DPA%,"select tme time dim combo",,1,{%DPA%})
INFO(%DPA%,%TIME_SET)
3)
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%TIME%,"Select time dim.",,{%TIME_SET%,},{%TIME¨SET%})
4)
PROMPT(RADIOBUTTON,%TIME%,"Select time dim.",,{%DPA%,},{%DPA%})
INFO(%DPA%,%TIME_SET)
Could you tell how it should be corrected?

Select Sorting in prompt level

I have below requirement from user.
Prompts:     Loan Id
          Loan Type
          Sort by Account Number/Sale Type
Basically when user run the report, it should prompt below three fields.
Loan Id
Loan Type
Sort order with a drop down list which has values Account Number/ Sale Type.
i.e., user should be able to select sort order he wants for both Account Number/ Sale Type before running the report at
prompt level.
Does anyone know the best way to accomplish this?.
Thanks,
ven

Hi Deb,
Thanks for your reply. I need little more clarification from you regarding Ascending/Descending and group by.
Please see my comments below.
1) Created a prompt at the universe level where users can choose their sorting option, ie. Ascending or Descending.
    How did you create this. What I did is I created a derived table in Universe with below code.
   "Select distinct table.Account_Number from table order by 1". It just does only Ascending.
   Then I created a prompt, called Sort_Order, in designer as
   '1'!=@Prompt('Sort_Order','A',{'Account_Number'},mono,Not_Persistent))
It is not parsed with a Parsing Result as Parse failed: Exception: DBD, ORA-00903: invalid table     name   State: N/A
Since I am not taking this value from database table, I went ahead and created this prompt and exported universe.
What I understood from your point is I need to create two different prompts, once for Ascending and one for Descending. Please
let me know if I am going wrong.
2) In the WebI report, create two variables, one for Ascending and Descending. The formulas would be something like:
   cv_Ascending: if(userresponse("Sort order prompt text here")="Ascending";MyField)
   cv_Descending: if(userresponse("Sort order prompt text here")="Descending";MyField)
   I created variable as Sort_Act_Num =if(UserResponse("Sort_Order") = "Account_Number"; [Account Number]; 0). This just sorts in Ascending order only and when I want to change it to descending, it is not working.
3) Put the cv_Ascending variable in column one set to sort ascending and put cv_Descending variable in column two set to sort descending. (The column with the value that isn't selected is always null so it's sorted on nothing)
4) Since you can't really "hide" columns in WebI, you have to fake it. Set the font color to white (or whatever color your background is) and the width to zero (0) - unfortunately, it won't let you set it to 0, it will default to .02. Turn off the borders. The columns will in effect be "hidden" and disappear.
I've done the same thing with grouping, by creating a variable and using it as a section break. Works like a charm.
For grouping, do I need to create any prompts or variables in designer level? Also in report level, is the code same as above to create variable for grouping.
Please let me know..
Thanks,
Ven Men

Changing Prompt Order of Prompts defined at the universe level

Hi All,
I need to change the order of the prompts defined at the universe level.By default they appear in alphabetical order.
Thanks,
Shweta.

Hi Shweta,
If you are on XI R2 then you can try the following extended syntax for the prompt definition:
@Prompt('Region', 'A', 'Class\Object Name', multi,free,,,User:0)
@Prompt('Area', 'A', 'Class\Object Name', multi,free,,,User:1) ...etc
Else there is no other way to sort the prompt in the desired order. Either you have to prefix the prompt text with numbers
or alphabets.

Rohit

CR 2008 - Optional parameter prompts

Hi!
I sometimes use Optional parameter prompts in Crystal Reports 2008.
The main reason is to minimise user input in Selection Criteria Screen.
I have many subreports, and not all prompts are needed for all subreports.
If the user leaves the prompt blank, then a formula will set a default value for the user.
I usually put the optional prompt at the top, so that user needs only fill prompts at the bottom.
Here is an example:
I have a parameter field called "PreferredSortOrder"
The Edit screen reads as follows:
Type: String
List of Values: Static
Value:
    Original Order
    Description
Value Options:
Show on (Viewer) Panel           : Read Only
Prompt Text                              : Preferred Sort Order [Optional]
Prompt With Description Only : True
Optional Prompt                        : True
Default Value                             :
Allow custom values                 : False
Allow multiple values                 : False
Allow discrete values                 : True
Allow range values                     : False
Min Length                                  :
Max Length                                  :
Edit Mask                                   :
Show value or Description        : Show Value
My report works perfectly, even if I leave the parameter field blank
I now add another parameter field called "WhichWarehouse"
with exactly the same values as above.
When I run the Crystal Report, I get this message;
Error running Crystal Reports
The report runs only if I type a value in the "WhichWarehouse" prompt
(The "PreferredSortOrder" prompt remains blank)
I did exactly the same as before. Why does the 2nd optional parameter not work like the first?
What has gone wrong?
Thank you
Leon Lai
JUST ADDED
I just noticed that in the Field Explorer,
(a) There is a green TICK near the parameter PreferredSortOrder
(b) But no green Tick neat the parameter "WhichWarehouse"
What does the green tick mean?
Could this be the key to the mystery?

Hi Leon,
No green tick means that the prompt has Not been used in the report.
If the report has Subreports, and if the subreport also has a 'warehouse' prompt then it could be this prompt that is causing the issue. You should link both the warehouse prompts to make sure you're only prompted once.

How to change heading text for parameter field of type date

Hi,
    After creating a parameter field with the type " Date Time" when I open the report for entering the parameter then it displays the given parameter with the following text:
" Please enter Date in format "yyyy-mm-dd". "
I want to change it to some other text like as:
" You have to enter the date and time in format yyyy-mm-dd . "
Is there any way by which I can change this given header to some other text.
Let me know if anyone needs some more information in this regard so as to solve my given query soon.

Hi Garrett,
              Well first of all I can change only the prompt text that is user defined. I cannot change any parameter as of now whose type is let suppose Date. Since in this case the Business Object itself shows the text which is something like this " Please enter Date in format "yyyy-mm-dd". " .
   Here I want to change this given text to some other format like " You have to enter the date in the format yyyy-mm-dd" or in any other manner.
Also the current Crystal Report version which I am using is 11.0.0.1282.
