Setting the cursor at the end of a text item Forms 10g

Is there a way in 10g forms to set the cursor at the end of the text item without highlighting the text.
I have a text item field when I query it and tab to the field, it highlights the whole text inside the block item. Users sometimes type without thinking so, we made it set the cursor at the end.
I know in 6i forms there was a client package (d2kwutil) that accomplished this and if I have too, I'll use it via the WebUtil. I just was not sure if there was anything in 10g forms that accomplished the same task.
Any help is appreciated.
Chris

Hello,
You can also use the good old win_api_shell.sendkeys() d2kwutil function, that works also fine with Web versions.
For instance, in a When-New-Item-Instance trigger:
win_api_shell.sendkeys(get_window_property('WINDOW1',window_handle),'{End}',TRUE); Francois

How to position the cursor at the end of the text with EDIT_TEXT?

Hello, it wanted to ask to them if somebody could make work the module of function EDIT_TEXT so that it positions the cursor at the end of the text that is visualizing in the text editor. In the documentation it says that passing a ' X' to him in the field scrollend of the parameter Control is obtained that operation. Nevertheless, I did this and the cursor continues appearing at the beginning of the text that visualizes.
Somebody could help me please?
Regards,
Gabriel

I believe that you have mis-read Gabriel's problem.
Gabriel,
The cursor is not positioning at the base of the editor as you have cited.
In order to get this functionality to work, you must set the LINE_EDITOR import paramter to 'X'.

How to highlight a line in a text stream and position the cursor at the end.

I would like to select a line in a text control data stream, highlight the text, and place the cursor at the end of the line so that the text control can be edited at that point.

Depends on what you mean by "highlight". If you mean highlight in the sense of when you use the mouse to select text, then you can't do that and then place the cursor at the end, since that would effectively "unhighlight" the text. You need to use a different kind of "highlight", like turning the text bold or something. This KB article talks about highlighting particular characters: How Do I Highlight Particular Characters in a String Control?
See attached for simple example. Modify as needed.

Other ways to send the cursor to the end of the text

Hi everybody
Is there any other way to send the cursor to the end of the textfield except win_api_shell.sendkeys and keep cursor position.
Because when I use keep cursor position property.. it is not working properly when i programatically write go_block and return back to this block.
win_api_shell.sendkeys is working fine but, it is not giving me the desired results...
so can any1 please suggest other ways to do it.....
Thanks in advance

You could use a global to deactivate this trigger before using ther sendkeys(), then reactivate it after
KEY-PRESSED trigger
If :global.fire = 'true' then
-- do the job
end if ;your code:
:global.fire := 'false';
win_api_shell.sendkeys()...
:global.fire := 'true';Francois

You've been down this path before - and the response is exactly the same.
how to replace cursor logic
And I'll suggest that you post the entire code - since you repeatedly delete 2 table variables but only populate one. The setting of @maxID also seems to have no purpose. And perhaps the issue here isn't the cursor but the general approach. Who knows
- but it appears you may have prematurely assumed that the cursor is the problem.

Center the cursor on the Waveform Graph?

I have a waveform graph where the user can adjust the scale on both the X and Y axes. The "problem" that I am having is that if the scale's range is set too far from where the cursor is at, the cursor will be off screen and not selectable. So, I am trying to center the cursor to the scale when the scale is changed or via a button. Here is the code that I have written for one of the Cursor plots:
Select Case setBlueCursor
Case 1
blueCursorPt.Plot = plotInlineTorque
inlineTorqueMax = yAxisInlineTorque.Range.Maximum
inlineTorqueMin = yAxisInlineTorque.Range.Minimum
blueCursorStartY = (inlineTorqueMax + inlineTorqueMin) / 2
blueCursorStartX = (XAxis.Range.Maximum + XAxis.Range.Minimum) / 2
blueCursorPt.YPosition = blueCursorStartY
blueCursorPt.XPosition = blueCursorStartX
This code will center the cursor like I want but then I can't move the cursor after that as it is "stuck" at the position that I have coded it. The problem appears to be with the last two lines of code here. I do not know of any other way to do this though. I have tried the "moveCursor" method but the end result ends the same way, with the cursor stuck in the center and can't move. Any help on a solution? Is there a better, easier way to do this? I'm new to Measurement Studio and .NET.
Thank you

This code works. It appears that I was calling the subroutine that this code is located in over and over in another part of my program.

I have imported my I photo library into Aperture. all the old i photo events are now in the aperture library showing number of photos but when clicked none display. I can see the photos if i run the cursor over the project. Help please.

I imported my i photo library into aperture.
I can see the i photo events in aperture library as events with the number of photos in each event.
When you click events in the aperture library no photos appear although if you roll the cursor over the event icon it show the photos. If you click on the event either on the event icon or in the library no photos appear.

Check, if you have any filters set. The search fields in the Insector panel and the browser should be showing "All items" or "Showing All".
The Browser search field could be set for each project and album individually, so you have to check it for each project.
Regards
Léonie
For example: The projects count shows "20 items", but the browser is empty, because the project's filter is set to show only rejected items.

I can't see the cursor on the logon screen with my MBP when using it in bright sunlight.

I have a 15 inch MacBook Pro with an anti glare screen. I am running Lion 10.7.3.
It is being used in bright sunlight in southern greece very sucessfully apart from the fact I cant see the cursor on the logon screen to select the user I want to log in as. .
Setting the cursor to a larger size using the universal access options works really well once I have logged in but at the moment I have to dash for the nearest shade to be able to see the screen to log in.
Any suggestions? A key sequence to swap between users on the logon screen would do (there are only two)

If you're using it in bright light, you may be getting sunlight through the back of the machine which can wash out the display. The Apple logo on the back of the lid is actually a cut-out that uses the systems back light to make it glow. Bright light (especially sunlight) can actually shine through the back. As the users in the login are typically in the middle of the display, this is the area most likely to be washed out as that is where the Apple logo is. You can try just putting your hand over the Apple logo on the back to block the sunlight when trying to log in.

Executing "bring to center" on a free cursor in a log XY graph brings the cursor to the top rim of the graph (instead of the center)

Dear support,
dear LV users,
selecting "bring to center" for a free cursor in a XY graph does not
bring the cursor into the center of the graph, but instead the command brings it to the
mean/average value. This is not an issue for a linear mapping
of the axis [due to the fact that the center of the axis is equal to
the middle/average value of the end points on the axis]. But when
mapping of the axis is logarithmic, the cursor ends up on the top of
the screen. That is because the average value of the end points
(min(y_axis)+max(y_axis))/2) is not equal to the center of the axis.
Is that a wished behavior, please?
Example: For an y_axis = [1..100], the awaited center position would be at
10 and not at 50.5. The center position for the logarithmic mapping
should be calculated as (log(min(y_axis))+log(max(y_axis)))/2, IMHO.
Kind regards,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are right, LabVIEW chooses this form (min(y_axis)+max(y_axis))/2).
You can go to "idea exchange".

I need to move the cursor to the "To" field of all new AppointmentItems which are created through my Outlook Addin. How I can achieve this?

Hello Prasad,
The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for that. You need to use Windows API functions or use
Accessibility API to set the cursor programmatically.

Something I have inadvertently done has removed the menu bar, the toolbars. The screen 'rolls' down when I move the cursor to the top of the screen otherwise it is in full screen all the time.

I was working on an email last night and must have set something on which I do not want. When I state firefox, it comes up full screen but without any menu or toolbars. Even when I move the cursor to the top of the scrren to reveal what is there, there still is no menu or toolbars showing.

If you run Firefox in full screen mode then press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle (Mac: command+Shift+F).
