Styling text box of a combobox

Hi --
I have a comboBox that I am styling using this code:
new_style.setStyle("embedFonts",true);
new_style.setStyle("fontFamily", "Gibraltar-Plain");
new_style.setStyle("color", 0x653a71);
new_style.setStyle("fontSize", 12);
new_style.setStyle("rollOverColor", 0x653a71);
new_style.setStyle("textRollOverColor", 0x000000);
new_style.setStyle("selectionColor", 0xDDDDDD);
new_style.setStyle("textSelectedColor", 0x000000);
forminputs_mc.states_cbx.setStyle("styleName","cbxStyle")
When I click on the drop down I see the items in the combo
box but whenever
I select an item the item shown in the combo box is empty. If
I change the
font to a non-embedded font it works fine. How do I set the
"textField" to
have the embedded font so it displays properly?
Thanks
Rich

This is a screenshot of what text boxes affect the page title.
If you can't change the necessary text box to reflect the title you want you can add the title via an HTML snippet and the following code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
</script>
Apply the code via snippet to each page you want to change the name to.

Threaded Anchored Text Boxes Causing Problems (Crashing)

I have a set of three anchored styled text boxes inside my primary text flow. Indesign seemed to allow this, but is now having trouble after I resized the Primary text frame and pinched these anchored boxes. The documnet is now in overset after the set of three and indesign is crashing whenever I touch them. It's holding my document hostage.
I've tried: Pasting the whole document into a larger formatt file, or Cutting out the set of three and they all shut down the program.
Has anyone else had this problem or am I missing something else?

Have you tried exporting to IDML and open it again?

BUG: Can't cut and paste custom text boxes

So this is really annoying.
- Create a text box.
- Set a custom text color, font and size
- Postion correctly.
Now I want to copy the text box to another page to maintain my text style. I can copy, but when I paste nothing happens.
Meaning I have to format each and every text box I create manually. Any work arounds?
I must say I do find the book editing tools in Aperture eccentric to say the least. No multi-select, no align/distribute etc. - I hope for some better page layout tools in the future. They don't have to be complex - just the basics.

Eccentric? Yup, my feelings exactly. Copy and paste in Aperture's layout tool is hit and miss - and as far as I know it's the only Mac app that behaves in this way, which is very strange indeed.
I just tried a workaround by saving the page with custom text as a new page master: it doesn't work!
Aperture only saves where the text box is located but all text formating reverts back to the theme's default... There's also no way to save custom text styles.
What will work is duplicating the page that contains the styled text box you'd like to keep. But then you need to change all the rest of the layout around it manually, which may take even longer.
It's nice to have a layout tool in Aperture. But considering what Apple has at its disposal, the implementation is extremely frustrating...

How can i type text in one text box and have the same text appear in a second text box? (on the same page)

I'm trying to make a simple CD label template and would like the text typed into the title text field on the cover to also appear in the title box on the back cover when typed just the once.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
chuck b.

Hi Chuck,
Not possible with a Text box, but can be done with a table.
Type the text in cell A1 (top left). When you exit the cell, the text will appear in C1 (top right).
Table can have fewer cells; cell borders may be set to 'none' to make them invisible; font and size may be different is each cell (as shown).
The formula in C1 is pretty simple: =A1
So it's possible, but on the whole, I agree with Peter—Copy/Paste is just as efficient, Drag and Drop onto (styled) placeholder text works quite nicely.

Barry

I have a requirement with select and text boxes. JSP / JDBC

I have a Combo Box which iswritten by a JSP by connecting to DB!
When i click on a <option> corresponding the other two text boxes must be loaded with data!
if i have list of EmpID in <select>, in one text box i should get his CITY and other Occupation !
What i thought is .... getting all the data from database. select empid from emp and write a combo and select city,occupation from emp, intp ARRAYLISTs!
function updatData(){
var index=document.projalloc.associateid.selectedIndex;
}if i onSelect=updateData(), (i will get index of empid,as it is a combobox) using which i have to retrieve the values of city and occupation !!
BUT HOW !
I am gettin the index of empid but how to get the data into textbox !!!!

well there are many ways of doing this.
1).Render all the data corresponding to each employee at a time.By making a javascript arrays and try to get back the data from there.
2).Save the ArrayList of DTO beans in the scope of session.Use AJAX call a CGI(Servlet/JSP action) fetch the values from the session render the response as XML now parse the XML data using javascript DOM and then update the consecutive textboxes.
Just as an example checkout my answer in the below post.It was an example given for a dependent drop downs.however, we can definately use the same concept to update textboxes too.

Add prices and display in dynamic text box

Hey,
I have a combobox and radio buttons with specific prices that
I want attached depending on the choice the user makes. I'm having
trouble getting the application to add the total of the selections
and display the total in a dynamic textbox.
I am trying to use global variables. I set them to a certain
value depending on what is selected. At the end I set add them up
in the variable total and set that equal to the text box named
totalPrice.
Right now the value of the global variables is not being
returned from their functions.
Any suggestions for how to do this correctly?
Thanks!

kglad,
Thanks for your quick response. I know that the return
doesn't work and that is why I decided to post it. Your suggestion
about updating "total" was something I hadn't thought of. Can you
give me anymore in terms of how to get the values out of the
function and update "total"?
Thanks!

I need a combo box with 4 values to choose from which will populate a text box on the form with text related to each combo box selection

For example:
Combo box choices:
apple
tomato
squash
Pumpkin
The text box depending on the selection above would state the color:
Green        (if Apple was chosen from the combo box
Red           (if Tomato was chosen from the combo box
Yellow       (if Squash was chosen from the combo box
Orange      (if Pumpkin was chosen from the combo box
I am very new at this and have spent hours looking for an answer. Thank to anyone in advance who can help!

Place each value as the export value of the options in the combo-box and then use this code as the text field's custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("ComboBox Name").value;

Strange borders round text boxes

Take a look on this interactive map
http://edu.com.pl/nabor/ using
Flash Player 8 and Flash Player 9. In 9 there are strange borders
round text boxes. Don't know where the problem might be.
I don't see any smilar problem on my other Flash
sites.

PD,
The outline of a Text Box is termed a "Stroke" and is set in the Graphic Inspector. There you can set a plain border or a styled one, like a picture frame, etc., or none at all.
The fine line around the text box that you see when you select it is just for your reference when editing and won't print.

Print dynamic styled text with a GUI

I need to write styled text in a computer and to receive and view it in another.
But I don't know how to get this styled text: is it possible to get an xml (or html) format of the content of a TextArea (or other text box) and on the other computer to parse the .xml (or .html) and print it in a graphics Area for example (I would also like the text to fit in the area shape but it's another story!)
could you help me?

Although I don't know how to use them, I believe the JTextPane class can help you out. There's another thread around here somewhere that is somewhat similar to this one. Check out the docs for it.

Validating text box characters

So far my validation of user input is checking for nulls, spaces within strings, max/min values or integers (where applicable). Now, I need to check for specific characters within the string on certain text boxes. For example, I don't want the user to input
special characters like !,@,#,$,%,^,& etc...
Would this have to be accomplished using regex utilizes like for validating email format? Or is there a built in function for checking for special characters?
James

For this project I really only have four format types of user input. Integers (with min/max values), IP address, Email Address and Strings that contain no special characters. It seems that I could tag my controls as either "IP Address",
"Text", "Email Address" or "Integer" and then loop through all the controls in the project and check for formatting using something similar to what was posted in another thread. Thoughts?

Locking down a text box, but still editable???

is there a way to lock in or anchor a text box and still be able to type/edit text? maybe i'm missing something simple... thanks in advance!

The point is to establish a layout, and then fill it.
I had a regular monthly project of a 4 pp A3 set of newspapers in 12 languages. Each issue I would design the layout and create all necessary links in QuarkXpress. The sections would have non-printing labels and be largely prestyled.
Then when it was approved, I'd "pour" the contents into it like plaster into a mould. Once I got going I could do each version in 8 minutes with a bit of individual typographic tweaking and styling.
What made this possible is what is missing in Pages. Pages is amazingly obstructive and unco-operative for "easy to use" software. Potentially it could be different, if it wasn't for the design decisions of the programmers and the muddled way a lot of it is implemented.

Copy is breaking to next page and not flowing to the bottom of the text box

I have a document where text is styled with style sheets and overrides are cleared but the text breaks to the next page rather than flowing to the bottom of the text box. I've had this issue several times in the past but have never figured out how to correct the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have invisibles showing but I'm not seeing a Word break character. Do Word break characters show up in ID differently from ID break characters. I'm attaching a screenshot to show what I'm dealing with.
I made sure the keep options are completely unchecked.

Expand Text Box? "Advanced" text options not hidden?

The title text box/editor is very small in the 10.2 update. It's just big enough for 2 lines of text. I find it fairly inconvenient to have it so small (I am referring to the text box in the inspector). I'm guessing there is no way to expand this to fit more lines of text in, but if anyone knows how that'd be sweet! Otherwise I'm just crossing my fingers it gets a quick update since I'm using it every day for work.
Also, the "advanced" tab always being collapsed in the basic text editing tools is annoying, too. I use this every time I make a title(which I'm making two videos a day, so it's a little more tedious now after the update). Personally, for a professional program I would consider the options in the "advanced" section to actually be basic and fairly necessary...based on how I use it, so maybe I'm not a normal case.
Nothing is broken, just less convenient...
Thanks y'all!

That is a wonderful idea if I could find where to do that (maybe another feedback will be to make finding the feedback area easier (: ). Where can I find the feedback area? Thanks for the quick reply as well!
