Stoping a keystroke entered in a edit box.

I am wondering how you do this...let me explain in more detail what i am looking to do.
What i want: A Edit box that when the user hits the {RETURN} key it will execute a Button, but when the user hits a {CTRL}+{RETURN} it will actually add a Carriage Return to box.
What i have: I have what i want except when the user hits the return key it still adds the carriage return in the box before excuting the button. How do i stop this?
I have the same problem with the {tab} key. I want tab to just leave the but but a {CTRL}+{TAB} to add a tab to the box. Thanks in advance.

I have read up on KeyListener....but i still cannot figure out how to over ride the default action of entering the carriage return...any specifics on this would be nice.

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.

How to 'Only' allow Numeric value in the Edit Box in AcroDialogs

Hi all,
I've create an AcroDialog wizard, I need to allow onlu numeric values in the Edit Box. Can someone please help me with this validation?
Regards,
Chris

There isn't a keystroke event for custom JavaScript dialogs, or any proper interactive events for the fields. You can validate fields when the user presses OK, and you can test fields when the user changes focus by setting the "Action" property for the field. But the only practical way to restrict user input to numbers is to use George's suggestion. There is a number property for the fields but it has an undesirable side affect and I never use it.

How to align the text vertical in the edit box in mfc?

Hi,
I had an edit box of which height is increased than the default.Now the problem here is when I am entering text into the edit box the text is not present at the centre of the edit box, It is still aligned at the top.
After increasing the height of the edit box the text and cursor are aligned at the top as shown in the below figure.
But Actually how I want is the text and the cursor position needs to be aligned centre as shown in the below figure.
Note: "EDITTEXT IDC_EDIT_BOX,10,73,156,14,ES_AUTOHSCROLL"
Can anyone please help me how can I make the text and the position of the cursor to be aligned vertically i.e, to the centre of the control.
SivaV

If vertical alignment is not possible, then use an edit box without borders, having the default height, and place it inside a static control having
SS_WHITERECT style. (In MFC Dialog Editor, set the Type and Colour properties). Both of controls will be children of dialog. Use a proper tab order. Check if the style
WS_CLIPSIBLINGS is needed too.

How to enter text into text box in Pages '09

When I manually select a text boxes in Pages, I can paste text into them. I can move from text box to text box using System Events to keystroke tabs but have not figured out how to get Applescript Editor to make the pastes. I am trying to use Applescript Editor to enter text into a pages document that is formatted for labels.

I have downloaded template U-0089-02_P.doc from Avery, 14 boxes displayed in two columns of seven rows.
Once you have clicked in the upper left box, the following script should enter text into every box, from left to right and top to bottom.
tell application "Pages"
activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "Box 1"
keystroke tab & tab -- to go to the next column
keystroke "Box 2"
keystroke tab -- to go to the next row
keystroke "Box 3"
keystroke tab & tab
-- and so on
end tell
end tell
The problem is that I don't know how to enter the upper left box from the AppleScript Editor.

Password edit box in CS2

Hi all,
I'm porting a plug_in code from CS to CS2 and see some problems in my login window in password edit box.
I can't get the cursor in this field, even by clicking in this box, the cursor wont appear there to get the text from keyboard, also I cant jump from other edit text field by tab key to this field, seems to me the event handle(kNonBrokenPasswordEventHandlerImpl) for this field is blocking to enter to this field. Any idea what supposed to be changed to get password edit text to work in CS2 ?
Thanks,
Kamran
P.S. this part was working fine in CS version.I use Mac OS X 10.4.3

I forgot to bring the code for handling password edit text that I'm using
this is the code:
CREATE_PMINTERFACE(NonBrokenPasswordEventHandler,kNonBrokenPasswordEventHandlerImpl)
NonBrokenPasswordEventHandler::NonBrokenPasswordEventHandler(IPMUnknown *boss) :
MEditBoxEventHandler(boss)
NonBrokenPasswordEventHandler::~NonBrokenPasswordEventHandler()
void NonBrokenPasswordEventHandler::Init()
TXNObject theTextObject = GetMacControl();
if ( theTextObject != NULL )
TXNEchoMode(theTextObject, kTextChar_Bullet,
kTextEncodingUnicodeDefault, true);
bool16 NonBrokenPasswordEventHandler::KeyDown(IEvent* e)
TXNObject theTextObject = GetMacControl();
if ( theTextObject != NULL )
TXNEchoMode(theTextObject, kTextChar_Bullet, kTextEncodingUnicodeDefault, true);
return MEditBoxEventHandler::KeyDown(e);

HT1310 I tried using the start-up manager but all that comes up is a padlock, narrow space to enter characters and a box with a right arrow.

Got the system from a donation store. This had been used at a school and the drive wasn't wiped, but most things require admin user-name & password. I tried the start-up manager but all that comes up is a padlock, narrow box to enter characters, and a box with a right arrow. Also, I can't use self-mode (command + S) just doesn't work.

I can not enter comma in combo box

I can not enter comma in combo box in LV 8.20, but it can be done in LV 8.0.1, so I suppose it's a bug!
I can enter comma via Edit Item menu, but I would like to enter it in run time.
Thanks for help,
Andrej

Hi Andrej,
This was reported to R&D (CAR ID: 4131FLYN and 40MCJC4U) for further investigation. A possible workaround, like you have stated in your response, would be to do add commas while in edit items for the combo box.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Srini,
You can't place another object directly below an object that 'grows'.
Create another section and move the line to this new section.

Odd edit box behavior

I've seen some odd behavior today a couple times when I've tried to edit a message.
The Edit box pops up but not with the text of the message I'm editing, but from an edit much earlier in the day.
The first time it happened, I tried to make an edit, but it wouldn't submit it. It just said there was an unknown error.
The second time, it took the edit but had the old message body and message subject from a completely unrelated thread.
EDIT: I just went in to edit this message and all behaved just fine.

How to save contents of two different rich edit box into single rtf file in windows 8.1 app

Developer, I have requirement to save registration data into rtf file.. These can only be done by if I put rich edit box to fill the data.. Now if I am going to write the code for saving the data of different rich edit box into one particular file, it
only saves the data of last rich edit box.. So plzz suggest that how can I save the contents of different rich edit box together into one rtf file.

Ok Nishant, just did some quick research, since rtf file is unlike txt file, we cannot simply directly write some content to the rtf.
You can try to find some third party code that can help you insert text into rtf file or you would like to load the content from rtf out to the richeditbox and merge them to one richeditbox and then save back to the file.
You could like to see how to read/save rtf file sample from:

I have just created my first form and saved it as a PDF. The editable boxes have a background colour of Blue and I would like to change this. Can it be done?

Hi guys i have just created my new form and it was very easy. however once i convert it to a PDF the editable boxes in the form are blue and i would like to change the colour. does any know if this can be done?

The blue background is the field highlighting that you have the option of turning off. If you don't see the purple bar on top with Highlight Fields toggle button, it should displayed by clicking the top icon (purplish) in the navigation pane on the left

Using edit box in Read only mode

I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 with OAF.
In one page I have created one region with a few edit boxes. In this region I want to display the information using the edit boxes in a "Read Only" mode so that it matches with the same background colour.
If the content of the edit box is small, i.e.: a few characters long, but if the content is large about 150 characters, then if I make the edit box read only, then it does not come to a new line. For this I have to make the edit box in "Disabled" mode. In "Disabled" mode only, the long message is shown in multilines. But my problem is that, when I make is "Disabled, it does not become uniform with other edit boxes with the same background colour. Can you please suggest, how can I address this problem.
