Tab highlight entire field
Hey Folks,
I have set up a form with select fields to tab through. Yet, the tabs are inconsistent. All of the tabs have default info in them. Sometimes they tab to select the entire field, but most of the time, they tab to select the end of the field. This is a big problem for the users of the form. Any ideas on how to change this setting?

Tabbing through form fields in app doesn't work in Firefox.
Is there a setting in Firefox that permits tabbing through form fields so that one doesn't have to use the mouse? This works fine in IE. for the same app without any configuration, but not in Firefox.
Are you really still running Firefox 3.6? Since it hasn't received any security updates for nine months, you may be putting yourself at risk.
In my experience, tabbing through forms works just fine. Have you tested in Firefox's Safe Mode to see whether the problem is caused by a custom setting or add-on.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] by holding the Shift key when you double-click the program icon.
In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
If tabbing works correctly, this points to an add-on or custom setting as the most likely cause of the problem. -
I am currently implementing an IDE. I try to highlight entire line(not only text but also following blank field) when users set a breakpoint on that line.
Using Highlighter.addhighlight(start, end, HighlightPainter) only allow me to highlight the text part in the line. I haven't figure out how to do that.
Any helps are appreciated.one way to highlight a full line or draw a breakpoint
symbol on a particular is to create a custom highlight
painter and override the paint method. If you want to
highlight the full line then use the width from the
JTextArea and only the y coordinate and height from
the view coordinates.
If you would like a breakpoint symbol and a particular
line then just put a drawImage call in the paint method
which draws an icon on that line
I've included some code for custom painter for both
highlighting a full line and rendering a breakpoint
icon.
private class SingleLineHighlighterPainter extends DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter {
public SingleLineHighlighterPainter( Color color )
{ super( color ); }
* Paints a highlight over a single line.
* just uses the first point a work around only
* @param g the graphics context
* @param offs0 the starting model offset >= 0
* @param offs1 the ending model offset >= offs1
* @param bounds the bounding box for the highlight
* @param c the editor
public void paint(Graphics g, int offs0, int offs1, Shape bounds, JTextComponent c) {
Rectangle alloc = bounds.getBounds();
Rectangle area = c.getBounds();
try {
// --- determine locations ---
TextUI mapper = c.getUI();
Rectangle p0 = mapper.modelToView(c, offs0);
// --- render ---
Color color = getColor();
if (color == null) {
g.setColor(c.getSelectionColor());
else {
g.setColor(color);
// render using just the y coordinates and height from the initial point
g.fillRect(0, p0.y, alloc.width, p0.height);
catch (BadLocationException e) {
// can't render
private class BreakpointPainter extends DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter {
public BreakpointPainter()
{ super( Color.green ); }
* Paints a breakpoint image
* just uses the first point a work around only
* @param g the graphics context
* @param offs0 the starting model offset >= 0
* @param offs1 the ending model offset >= offs1
* @param bounds the bounding box for the highlight
* @param c the editor
public void paint(Graphics g, int offs0, int offs1, Shape bounds, JTextComponent c) {
Rectangle alloc = bounds.getBounds();
Rectangle area = c.getBounds();
try {
// --- determine locations ---
TextUI mapper = c.getUI();
Rectangle p0 = mapper.modelToView(c, offs0);
Image im = ( (ImageIcon) Icons.stopSignIcon ).getImage();
// render using just the y coordinates and height from the initial point
g.drawImage( im,0,p0.y+2,null );
catch (BadLocationException e) {
// can't render
to use these do the following
DefaultHighlighter dh = new DefaultHighlighter();
dh.setDrawsLayeredHighlights( false );
SingleLineHighlighterPainter dhp = new SingleLineHighlighterPainter(Color.green);
BreakpointPainter bpp = new BreakpointPainter();
buff.setHighlighter(dh);
try {
dh.addHighlight(25, 30, dhp); // single line highlighter here
dh.addHighlight(60, 60, bpp); // add breakpoint highlighter here
dh.addHighlight(120,120,bpp); // add breakpoint highlighter here
catch (javax.swing.text.BadLocationException jst) { };
buff.setMargin( new Insets( 0,20,0,0 ) );
where numbers used with the addHighlight method are
the location within the model. In this case the
addHighlight( 25,30, dhp ) will highlight the line with
a view location corresponding to position 25 in
the model. So just need to specify any model location
on the line you want to highlight.
Setting breakpoints is the same just need one model
position on the line where you want the image to be
drawn.
Hope that's clear.
Also helps to look at the source code for
DefaultHighlighter.java.

Highlighting a Field on BP transaction Through Error
I have some code I've written that in theory should highlight the field where I want the user to be directed to.
The problem is, the field in question is in a table control i.e. the Responsible Institution in the Identification numbers tab.
I have tried this for a non-table control field and the field text changes colour but the cursor isn't placed in the field.
Neither happens when I specify the field of the table control.
Is it that this just simply cannot be done or is there another approach?
My code below:
CALL FUNCTION 'BUS_MESSAGE_STATUS_SET'
EXPORTING
msg_coll_status = '1'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BUS_MESSAGE_STORE'
EXPORTING
ARBGB = gc_msg_arbgb
MSGTY = gc_msg_error
TXTNR = '000'
MSGV1 = 'You cannot use numerals in the institute name: '
MSGV2 = gt_but0id-institute
MSGV3 = '. Please change this.'
TBFLD_STRG = 'GT_BUT0ID-INSTITUTE'.
Many Thanks
DavidHi,
We can highlight the field contents in table control.
Put this code in PBO event.
---PBO
LOOP WITH CONTROL tb_control.
MODULE screen_changes.
ENDLOOP.
MODULE screen_changes OUTPUT.
PERFORM screen_changes
ENDMODULE.
FORM screen_changes .
LOOP AT SCREEN.
if screen-name = 'TB_CONTROL-FLD1'.
screen-intensified = '1'.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.

Highlighting of field elements for update
I am totally new to Oracle Forms so please excuse a possibly well know question.
Iâm converting a system from Forms 2 to 6i. One of the complaints I'm getting is that in Forms 2, when the user would click once within a field, the entire fieldâs data would become highlighted and available for updating. After compiling all screens with Forms 6i, the users are finding that the data is not all highlighted, only the last word. For example, a field contains '123 Oak Drive'. In Forms 2, the user could click within this field and '123 Oak Drive' would be highlighted. In Forms 6i, when the user clicks once at the end of this field nothing is highlighted, if the user clicks a second time only 'Drive' is highlighted. Is this something I can change in Forms 6i, or do the users just have to live with it?
Thank you in advance for any help.
BobOn Metalink I found that this problem was to be solved with Patch 8. I've applied Patch 17, and the problem is still occurring. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Actions tab for form field properties
This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSDFC888F9-219C-4b55-90E6-D316E2A85F08.w.htm l
I am working in Acrobat. I trying to create a form dealers will complete and submit. There will be no licensing issues. I have created a button and named it SUBMIT. In the Actions tab I have selected “Submit a form.” I have entered “mailto:[email protected]” under “Enter a URL for this link”. I have also selected “PDF The complete document” as the Export Format.
I saved the file but when I go to the Preview Mode and click the new “Submit” button, I am asked to “Save PDF as” from a menu. Even if I rename the file and click save, nothing happens. I am back in the Preview mode. If I click “Submit” again, I get the same “Save PDF as” routine.
I am baffled.

how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale. Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.
The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop. -
Hello All!
I am relatively new to creating forms within LiveCycle but I have learned quickly so bare with me on my question.
I have figured out how to highlight a field when a check box is clicked on, however, I cannot get it to remove the highlight when the check box is unchecked?
This is what I used for the highlight:
Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
Can anyone provide any insight or suggestions on how I might fix this script issue?
Thanks in advance!
-LisaHi,
Script migth be something like this. Put it on Change event of the check box
if (this.rawValue == 1) { Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();
else
{ Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,0,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();

Highlight Rows/Fields in Inetractive Report
What is the best way to conditionally highlight rows/field in an Interactive Report? I don't want to create filters that the users can see/turn off
Hello Bob,
Before you have to think about what happens (or should happen) if a user creates his own highlighting. That will interfere with the highlighting you created....
But you can set highlighting for a field in the select statement:
select "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."ORDER_ITEM_ID" as "ORDER_ITEM_ID",
"DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."ORDER_ID" as "ORDER_ID",
"DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."PRODUCT_ID" as "PRODUCT_ID",
CASE
WHEN UNIT_PRICE < 200 THEN
'<span style="display:block;width:30px;background-color:red;color:darkgreen;">'
|| unit_price
|| '</span>'
ELSE to_char(unit_price)
END UNIT_PRICE,
"DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"."QUANTITY" as "QUANTITY"
from "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS" "DEMO_ORDER_ITEMS"But remember that the outcome of your query now changed. If you sort upon UNIT_PRICE the <span> tag also is taken into consideration.

Highlight existing fields in pdf XI

Regards,
RaghupathiDon't worry I lose myself sometimes....
In the first pic the radio buttons look like Squares because of the "Highlight Existing Fields" is active....but my reset/återställa and send/skicka are still their original artwork...
In the second pic the "Highlight Existing Fields" is turned off and the radio buttons look like I intended. I was wondering if the buttons were on a separate layer they would retain their artwork?
I don't know how the send and reset button differ in their function from the radio buttons...
Just not sure why the send and reset buttons retain their artwork and not the radio buttons....Must be missing something here....lol
I could live with the red highlighted text feilds as long as my artwork remains intact...

How do I retrieve the "Highlight Existing Fields" button in Reader?
I have a colleague who has Reader XI on Windows 7. She has opened a form I created in Acrobat Pro but does not have the "Highlight Existing Fields" option in the top right corner that I do when I open the form. I've searched high and low and cannot find where I need to go to make the darned thing appear for her. This probably will go down as the most stupid question of the day (maybe the week!), but I'm stuck! Many thanks to anyone who can help!
Thx for your answer!

Highlight required fields/Clear fillColor upon data entry
So here's what I'm trying to do in LifeCycle Designer 7. I have a dynamic form that I highlight the required fields by setting their fillColor to a blue upon form initialization. I then want the fields to go to transparent after data has been entered into them. But then if they delete that data, I want the color to return so they know they still need to put data in that field.
I've gotten some help from these forums, but I just can't seem to get it to where it needs to be. I can go between blue and white (w/ a visible border that I don't want), but I cannot get the fields to go completely transparent. If there was a way to automatically check the "Highlight Fields" and/or "Highlight Required Fields" boxes upon opening the pdf, I wouldn't have to do this at all.
So here is my code for the exit event of the fields:
if (this.rawValue == null || this.rawValue == "")
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "hidden";
this.fillColor = "153,255,255";
else
this.ui.oneOfChild.border.presence = "visible";
this.fillColor = "255,255,255";
If I take out the fill in the else statement, it always stays blue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Hi,
I have the same problem, cannot get the fill color back to transparent.
Could you find a solution?

Highlight few fields based of condition
Hi Experts,
I have to highlight few fields which are changed.
Scenario is, i am reading materials from SAP & displaying it in a view in edit mode for change. On send it has an aproval process befor updating SAP database. The approver should be able to see what are the fields changes by highlighting them.
Along with that it should display the old value in tooltip.
Regards,
Nik.Hi,
First try to implement the change log for these attirbutes...and create the context attirbute as STRING and also for
highlighitng you need to use the cell design property.
when you get the change log for these get the old value from that structure and set the value to this context attribute.
Bind this attirbute to the TOOLTIP property of the field and cell deisign respectively.
You might have got some button for APPROVAL right....
In this button handler,
get the change log,
set the attributes.
Regards,
Lekha.
