Simple question around text box action listeners....

Hi, I'm hoping there is a simple solution to this question.
What I have is a text box, by default it will be empty. what I'm looking for is Some kind of action listener to be kicked off when ever a user writes in the textbox......
here is a little bit of code i'd "like" to do....
   textBoxBean.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {
            public void propertyChanged(PropertyChangeEvent event)
                 if (businessTypeBean.getText() != null){
                     // do somthing
                 else{
                     // do something else
        }); The only problem is the the silly thing never gets called.....
a silly question but, unfortunatly all this is change a tooltip and enable disable a button based on weather or not there is something in the textbox....... Sigh......
Any ideas would be great.
Cheers,

But you do waste your time with the above.......... With the hope that you will actually learn how to ask a meaningfull question the next time.
You still have people totally confused about what you are asking. Some people think you have an AWT based question. Others think its a Swing related question.
Your question is about an ActionListener, but you code shows a PropertyChangeListener. It seems like you are asking about a Swing component, but there is a Swing forum for Swing related questions.
We are not mind readers. Ask a well thought out question and you will generally get a well though out response.

  • Rule around text boxes?

    How do we remove the rule around text boxes?

    Hi graphicscoordinator,
    There currently isn't a option in FormsCentral to remove the rule that appears around text fields. There is a Feature Request form where you can sumbit your request for this feature, however. Visit https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=XnF-KJVCovcEVQz9tZHYPQ.

  • A simple question about combo box

    Dear All,
    Just got a simple question about combo box: I have one of these selectors with labels based on filtered rows from a table.
    Is it possible to have one more label that would select all options?
    Like:
    Product A
    Product B
    Product C
    All Product
    Many thanks for your help!
    Gilles

    Hi Gilles,
    The purpose of ComboBox itself to select single option out of many.
    For your purpose, you may have to use "List Builder" which can accomodate 1 or more  to select.
    Please revert for more clarification if you need.
    With best wishes

  • How do I get rid of various lines around text boxes when using navigation panes

    How can I get rid of these various lines that are displaying sporatically around different text boxes . . . but only when the navigation panel is displaying?  I previously had the issue and changed the text box properties to no fill.  It fixed the problem in the document with no navigation panel, but once the navigation panel is displayed the lines appear.  And yes, I fixed the text box properties before creating the bookmarks for the navigation panel.

    Every device, browser and browser version has its idiosyncrasies.
    Just using a stroke and a drop shadow should not have been enough to require Muse to convert the page fill to an image. Were/are there also other effects on the page? Are the page corners slightly rounded?
    Bevel and Inner Glow definitely require an image to be created. Most other effects/properties do not.

  • Stroke around text boxes??

    Is is possible to give text boxes a stroke?? I am creating a announcement sheet and the previous way they did it was in publisher where they had a background and then a filled text box with a stroke around each one.

  • Gray Box Around Text Boxes in PDF

    I've created a text box with a picture frame "stroke" (the one that looks like a slightly curled piece of paper). When I export the file to PDF and open it in Acrobat, in addition to the background graphic of the paper with the drop shadow, there is a faint box that circumscribes the actual text box within the graphic. This faint box does not display when I view the PDF in Preview (or in Pages). This happens in both Pages 08 and 09. When I print from Pages or Preview, the faint boxes are not there. But when I print from Acrobat, they are. Also, I've created the PDF from both the Share>Export option and the Save PDF option in the Print dialog box, with the same results.
    Is there any way to not have this faint box appear in the PDF when viewing it in Acrobat? This problem is preventing me from being able to distribute the document in PDF format to PC users.
    Thanks.

    I'm disappointed that Pages '09 still does this, although it may be because of Adobe's wacky way of handling PDF documents. I've posted examples of this on this forum before, but nobody was able to help. The line artifact isn't because of the text box, but rather the picture frame effect you're applying. These lines not only appear on screen in Acrobat, but print that way too.
    There is a workaround I use when I create Pages documents using graphic borders like the curled paper one you mention.
    Instead of exporting your Pages document as a PDF, use *Print>PDF>Save As Postscript...*
    The PDF button is at the bottom of the print dialog box, select *Save As Postcript* from the pull-down.
    Once your .ps file is created, double click it and it will open in Preview. Then save it as a PDF from Preview using *File>Save As...>PDF*. Open this file in Acrobat to check it, and you'll find that the border problem has gone away.
    One note: Upon close-up side by side comparison, you'll notice that your graphics aren't quite as crisp looking, like they've lost some resolution. But I've had both versions professionally printed at high resolution, and the difference is very minor. It's just that the original Export feature of Pages produces better looking PDF files, especially on Macs. Your PC users have to use Acrobat Reader, which doesn't seem to render PDF documents as nicely on screen.
    Hope this helps.

  • Simple question: masking text in flex

    I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious on this, so
    forgive me if I have, but is there a way to set the background
    color on text? A label or a text field don't seem to allow you to
    change the background color. So far the only way I can figure out
    to do it is put a label or text field within a tile of the color I
    want, which is cumbersome and difficult to size the way I want etc.
    Is there an easier way?

    I think you can use the opaqueBackground property on a label
    to make it
    opaque and then I _think_ you can set backgroundColor on it,
    even though
    this isn't documented.

  • Simple question with a button action

    Im having some slight problems setting up my script so that when you click on the button a method is performed called encrypt().

    ..Class stuff

  • Dynamic action on text box change does not working

    i have a page with following components.
    a report that has and edit link.
    a text box to catch the primary key from report link when it is clicked
    a number of elements (text boxes, check boxes and LOVs) which are used as data entry form.
    Now my design is that user enter values save them and no sooner did they save, the report depicts new
    values. if user want to edit any record, they click on edit link and the data entry form elements
    should now bring all those values from DB on page. i m successful to pick primary key and bring
    it in a hidden text box and wrote a dynamic action on its change event that will bring values from
    DB and set all page elements. but but but.........the change event doesnt work. it only work
    when focus is lost from the text box...!! offcourse user wont want to click in that "hiddent" text
    box and then click some where else to bring values in page data entry form......
    help is humbly requested from forum or if any other solution approach is to be used easier than
    one i m using, would be appreciated.
    thanks in advance for reading my bore question :)

    bundles of thanks for reply. i m going to elaborate.
    1. My page no is 3.
    2. Hidden Item name is P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID
    3. Data entry form, hidden item and the report are on the same page.
    4. on the edit link of report, i have used following settings.
        Target: Page in this application
         Page: 3
         and i set hidden item as follows......
         Item 1   P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID         Value #ACTIVITY_ID#
       well, when i click the link on report it does bring Activity_Id in the hidden box (which is not yet hidden for debugging purpose)
    Next i wrote Dynamic action which fires on the change event of P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID and run PL/SQL code with in it which is as follows
      declare
      Dept varchar(50);
    begin
       select my_dept into Dept from activity_main ACTIVITY_ID = :P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID;
       :P3_Dept := :Dept;          (i did use :P3_Dept := Dept also but this wont work)
      insert into testdynamic (stamp) values (Dept);  (I did this to check whether correct value is brought from DB, yes it works correctly, correct Dept is being inserted in stamp column)
    end;
      i have created another true action to check when the dynamic action is fired. its very simple alert. and the problem is, it only fires when focus is lost from the P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID. i mean, when u keep changing value inside the text box, nothing happens, when u go outside, the alert is fired and so the pl/sql procedure. but the line
        :P3_Dept := :Dept;       OR      :P3_Dept  := Dept;         arent working which is the actual requirement.
      I m not using set value here as i have to set a lot of values on page not one. further. plz let me get rid of this lost focus thing as i want the form to be populated with correct values related to P3_EDIT_ACTIVITY_ID as the user click on any edit_link in the report.
    Thanks for persistence. i hope i have provided all the details.
    looking forward.

  • Creating a frame around a text box?

    I'm new to Illustrator (I'm running CS4 on a Mac) and I'm creating what is essentially an organization chart. (It's actually something more of a decision tree, but that's not important.)
    I've searched some other forums and I discovered the Area Type Options. I'm using that to create 6 pixels of inset spacing between my text and the outside of the text box. Now, I'd like to have a 1 or 2 point frame drawn automatically around the text box. One place told me to go to Object > Text Frame. However, when I highlight the text box and go to Object there is not Text Frame option (either available or grayed out).
    It doesn't seem that I should have to manually go through the work of drawing a rectangle around every text frame.
    Can someone point me in the right direction to have Illustrator make the blue (electronic) frame into a real visible one?
    Thank you in advance,
    Bflat Blues

    Thank you so much. That did the trick.
    However, I'm surprised how arcane this simple technique seems to be. I wanted to draw a straightforward org chart and Illustrator didn't appear to make it straightforward at all.
    It's probably me. From what I can see, a new Illustrator user trying to use it for something this simple is like using dynamite to kill a fly.
    I just need to play with it more as I'm working through exercises.
    Once again, thank you.

  • I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am having some problems.  This sounds really dumb, but I can't figure out how to put a border around a text box.  Also, how do you edit the border, i.e. border color, thickness, etc. Help!

    I have never used my mac for desktop publishing before and am running into some real problems.  How do you put a border around a text box?  Can you edit the border - color, thickness, etc.?  Help!

    I think the best solution is to read Pages documentation, go to Help and you have a long list of options. Pages is capable of quite sophisticated things, some features are above Nisus or Mellel, so it is not so simple to summarize things in a few lines.

  • Framemaker 9 PDF exports with red boxes around text areas

    I have a doc, made in FM 7, using version 9
    When I make a PDF i get boxes around some of the text. It wasn't there during FM design.
    example
    (see red)
    Please help

    AxialInfo wrote:
    you might consider saving the FM file as MIF and then looking at the MIF using the wonderful freebie MIFBrowser, from Graham Wideman, from here:
    Wideman Adobe FrameMaker Topics
    to find the problem area do a search for the string that is in the title
    "Downblast Centrifugal
    Exhaust Ventilator
    Roof Mounted
    Belt Drive"
    although just pasting it here it looks like you might have soft carriage returns in it which will make it necessary to just search for the two-word segments.
    After you find the phrase, use the left navigation area to walk "up" the MIF file, looking for the specific structure that those words are in (is it a text box, or rather a graphic frame inside a text box, correct?) Is this an anchored frame, or is it just floating? If it's anchored, where is it anchored?
    In the MIF, see if you can identify any odd sounding properties of the text box or graphic frame. The MIF reference manual is a PDF found in the FM documentation folder.
    Also, one other possibility is that there's something funky with the red swash that goes across the page that's somehow "contaminating" the text frame. What kind of graphic type is the red swash? Could you take a copy of the FM file and remove the swash and then make a PDF, to see if that solves the red outline.
    edit: additional questions: are the swash and the text frame on the body page or on the master page? When Arnis suggested checking for graphics behind the text frame, did you also check the master page(s) as well as the body pages?

  • Creating boxes around text....

    Hi,
    I'm hoping there is a better solution to this problem then what I've using.
    I would like to be able to create a box around text that is able to resize when increasing/decreasing font.
    My working solution is to create a text box with text then use direct selection tool to select the anchors and convert that into a shape, either a rectangle or rounded rectangle. This isn't bad since it allows an equal amount of space around the text but it does have problems. If the font size increases or decreases, the box remains the same. I have to use the Area Type Option to resize the box. Also, if I wanted to do this for lots of boxes then I have to select all of the individual anchors which will be time consuming.
    Is there a simpler solution?
    Thanks.

    Use the Selection Tool (Black Arrow) to select the text and then add a new Fill via the Appearance Panel.
    Move the new fill below the Characters item in the Appearance Panel
    With that fill highlighted choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle
