Tab order of Radio Buttons?

Although it consistenly goes to the same choice for each group, when I tab through my form, it seems somewhat random which radio button I tab into for each group. Most times it is the left-most or top button (desired) but often it is another choice. I have them in the correct order in the heirarchy. Is there a way to fix this?

Just make sure whatever alignment you have them in (top to bottom or accross) that they are perfectly aligned. Try using the Layout>Align menu command to make sure.

Tab order of radio buttons skipping back

I'm currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (trial for now) to mess around with forms. I am having a problem right now with the tab order. I believe the culprits are a few pairs of radio buttons I have set up sequentially. Each pair is in it's own group with one being "Y" and the other "N". After setting the tab order such that I can easily navigate the form in the specified order, I have found that when I reach the bottom of the first page (the same page in which my radio buttons are found), with the last object that I "tab" through being a text field, I am redirected back up to the radio buttons instead of proceeding to the next tabulated object located on the next page. When I first tab through the radio buttons, the default value I land on is the "Y" value, and when I am unexpectedly redirected there again, the default value I land on is the "N" value of the first radio button. If I tab through everything to the bottom of the page, I am once again redirected back up to the radio buttons. If I mouse click on the next field on page 2 and tab through, everything works fine including being able to move onto page 3 in the expected order. So what gives? Why would I keep getting redirected back up to the radio buttons at the end of tabulating through page 1? I have the radio button groups in the correct tab order, but I'm not sure how to fix this issue with the radio buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried looking online in multiple places for a solution, but haven't quite found one to this or anyone else who might have this same problem. If any further clarification is needed, please let me know. Thanks!

Make sure the thenames for all items including Checkboxes and radio buttons are unique on each page if go to adjust ment for tab order you can drag them to the correct order.
even though you may have placed them at a specific spot if you added then at a later place in the design (say as an after thought, hey I need to add this), their tab order is based on when they are added not the position the actual element is placed.
In other words if the check boxes /radio buttons are the fourth item down position wise in document by they were the twentith item added they will skipped over thad the other 19 in turn will be tabbed to the when 20th tab is hit they will bounce back up to the check boxes/ Radio buttons.
Be sure they are titled button1 button1a, button 2 button 2a and so on or lese the will be marked all at the same time and may bounce back to the first position they were in.

No default USER STATUS in order with radio buttons

Hi friends,
We want to have 4 user status in PM order with radio buttons so that
user can choose only one at a time.But by default after creating order
No user status should be defaulted.Only it should display when user
selects one.
I have tried in SPRO but for radio buttons it selects one as default
automatically.
Is there any alternative.
With Regards
AMehra

Hi Pete,
I know this is standard only.But client's requirement is like this.
All the four status are like that we can choose only one
like PASS FAIL.
Now these two can not be set together.
thnx

Radio Buttons and Tab Strips

How Do Everyone!
I have 3 tab strips in one selection screen.
Each tab strip has 3 radio buttons on them. How can one
find out out which button is pressed?
e.g. Click on the second tab, the first radio button
     will be highlighted. However, the first radiobutton
     on the first and third tabstrips will also
     be highlighted.
Can the radio buttons be set to null?
Cheers
Andy

Each group of 3 radiobuttons needs to be associated with its own group.
For example.

Radio Buttons only work after selecting another field

In my Access 2010 database, I have an option group consisting of 3 radio buttons. If I select the first button I Access will allow me, but if I then want to change my selection to the third button I can only do so if I select another field
before I can make the button change. Now, if I want to change my selection again from the third button to the second button, I must select another field then select the second button.
I just can't figure out what is going on here. Does anyone have any clue or explanation that will help me??? Thank you!

I will add that originally this option group of radio buttons was working perfectly fine. This issue surfaced when I included a tab control to the form and moved all the fields onto the first tab.
It seems that having to select another field before changing a radio selection is limited when using the mouse; however, if I use any of the up/down or left/right arrow keys on the keyboard it will change radio button selections without selecting another field
(as one would expect it to).
Hi Eli,
Probably it has something to do with the focus of the form (first tab) with the radio buttons. Someway that form looses focus when clicking a radio button. By selecting another field the form receives focus again, so you can use the radio buttons again.
You can check it happens in this way.

How do I make each Radio button appear in the tab order?

When users tab through the form, the tab only highlights the first radio button of a group before moving to the next field or group of fields.
Example: the user is asked for the following information: LastName, Gender (M/F radio buttons), and BirthDate.
When tabbing through the form, users are taken from from the LastName field to the Male radio button, to the Birthdate Field. Never does the tab allow them to select Female unless they click it with the mouse.
It seems like this should be a simple fix, but I can't find it anywhere!
Thanks for your help.

That's the way they work. Think of a radio button group as a dropdown or list box. When any of these types of fields receives the focus, you can use the arrow keys to move through the options and the tab key moves to the next field.
If you set up the group using check boxes instead, giving each in the group the same name but different export value, they will behave as you want. A group of checkboxes will behave a bit different than a group of radio buttons, but it's close.

Tabbing thru Radio Buttons correctly

I am cleaning up a form. When I move from one radio button group to the next, I always go to a radio button other than the first one in the group. They aren't moving alphabetically. I have made sure that each radio button has a different value, moving from lowest to highest in the order that I want them to tab, and they appear correctly in the hierarchy.
This has to be something simple...I've searched forums, haven't found anything.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Okay, my first radio button group has two choices - yes/no.
If I select the no button, and then hit tab, it goes to the 2nd button (of 6) in the next group (imagine the buttons are in a 3rowx2column table). Once I'm on the 2nd button, if I hit the down arrow, it goes from 1,3,4,5,6. Tabbing at that point goes to the correct button in the next group.
I hope this makes sense,
thank you.

Check boxes, Radio Buttons, and XML Field Order

I am working with Adobe Designer Version 7.0. Hopefully this forum can still address my issues.
I am creating a registration form that will often be submitted via email to us for processing. To help make the data both easy to transfer for us into our excel file and to minimize the errors made by the people using the form, I need the form to be able to do a couple of things that I am having a hard time figuring out. My questions are the following:
I have a list of 7 check boxes that each insert a dollar value into a seperate numeric field on the form. Each check box has a unique dollar value associated with it. Is there any way to design the form so the user can only choose one of the check boxes? I tried using radio buttons in a group, but if a user mistakenly chose the wrong radio button and then selected another button from that group, it would add to the total in the Application Fee field and not subtract out the previous amount. Below is the code i used for one of the check boxes.
I have two numeric fields that the user must choose one or the other. Can I design those two fields (numHomes and numBuildings) so that if the you enter a value for one field, you cannot enter a value for the other field? Both fields are then calcuated in a seperate numeric field. Below is the code i used for the numeric field.
I want to be able to take the data emailed to us as an XML file when a user submits the results via email and directly paste it into our Excel file. To keep the cut and paste process simple, I want to make sure the order of the XML fields matches the order of the database fields so it can be done in one shot. Do you know how to organize the XML fields? They do not seem to correspond to the ordering found under the Hierarchy tab. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks
if (this.rawValue == 1) then
numAppFee.rawValue = numAppFee.rawValue + 350;
else
numAppFee.rawValue = numAppFee.rawValue - 350;
endif
numHomes * 50 + numBuildings * 100 + numDups * 10

Create an XML Schema (XSD) and define that as the default form schema. The form data will conforms to the order of fields defined in the XML schema.
Hope that helps.

Tabbing into radio buttons

All radio button groups on my form are skipped when tabbing through the fields, even though the tab order is set correctly.
I did duplicate the radio button groups and change their Names and values to save time, as there are lots of Yes/No options on my form. So, I dragged a new radio button from the library onto the form, changed the tab order again, but that still can't be accessed via tab key.
The only way to access the radio buttons is to click into them with the mouse.
I have Designer 7.0 - Is this a bug?

Mike,
How does your Hierarchy view look like? Or did you set a custom tabbing order?
I just created a test form by laying out the objects in the exact order I expected to be tabbing into them. I have 2 radiobutton lists and they are separated by other fields.
I then tested tabbing into the group and out of the group and they worked both forward and backward. (Not sure how to include the file here, otherwise I would.)
If you check your Hierarchy view and check that each Radiobutton list follows the object you want to tab into it from, you may find it works better.
Good luck,
Sanna

Standard Radio Button Tabs missing in Material Master

Dear Experets,
We have Upgraded from 4.5 to Ecc 6.0. We are finding an issue in Material Master.
When we create a material with the required selected Views and maintaing the datas like Basic Data and other Views, we usually have standard Radio button Tab to shift over from one View to another View. I am not able to find those Views either in Creation of Material Master, Or Change or Display ?
Can any one suggest on this? Is there any Patch is missing or any configuration setting has to be carried out ?
Please Suggest your valuable inputs.

Push Buttons, Radio Buttons, Folder Tabs

Could someone please let me in on the secret to selecting
background colors for push-buttons, radio-buttons and folder
tabs. I've tried the obvious properties with no luck.
I am developing on a Windows NT 4.0 platform using Developer
6.0. I will be releasing my app to the web soon and could
really use some help.
Ideally, I would like to be able to select any color ( i.e. to
match the background color of the canvas ), but so far the only
choices seem to be black, white or a couple of other non-
desirable colors ( bright red, green, yellow, yuck! ). Is a
custom color palette the ticket?
I realize that many button properties are controlled by Windows.
If this is the case, are there any work-arounds? When I
distribute the application, will I be able to offer my customers
the ability to configure Windows to correctly define the button
colors?
I am sure that others have these same questions. I have not
been able to find any answers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
1. Disabling Push button.
    In PBO loop at sccreen and check the field name is equal to push button name
    set screen-input = 0.
    modify screen.
    endloop.
2.assign a function code to radio button in screen element it will trigger the PAI.
In PAI during loop at table control check the field value is equal to 'X'.then not down the roqw number and in PBO enable the button based on the row number by looping at screen.
3Assign the fcode to push button.Once the user presses the button in PAI check the focde and see for which line it is pressed based on it call the pop up screen using FM or dialog box.

Get radio button list order

I am making an online exam project and I am currently able to show choices for each question in random order. I want to control all currently open exam sessions so that each student gets a different order of choices during the time of the exam -- to avoid cheating.
I am thinking the best way is to retrieve choices radio button list items in order and insert them into a table by session and compare order for each new session asking for the same question.
Is this the best practice?
How do I get each item from the list and its order to be able to insert it into a table?
Thank you,
A

I 'm not much of a math expert but ...
Let's say you have 5 radio choices 0...4, I am going out on a limb here and predicting there
are 120 combinations? (there are 5 choices for the first button, 4 choices for the second, 3 for the third,
2 for the second and 1 for the last?) So I think you could generate a table of permutations
something like this:
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/162827/0/
with      test_tab as
         (select 1 digit, 1 rn from dual union all
          select 2 digit, 2 rn from dual union all
          select 3 digit, 3 rn from dual union all
          select 4 digit, 4 rn from dual union all
          select 5 digit, 5 rn from dual
select t1.digit digit1, t2.digit digit2, t3.digit digit3,
t4.digit digit4, t5.digit digit5
from   test_tab t1, test_tab t2, test_tab t3,test_tab t4, test_tab t5
where t1.rn != t2.rn
and    t1.rn != t3.rn
and    t1.rn != t4.rn
and    t1.rn != t5.rn
and    t2.rn != t3.rn
and    t2.rn != t4.rn
and    t2.rn != t5.rn
and    t3.rn != t4.rn
and    t3.rn != t5.rn
and    t4.rn != t5.rn
/note: I did not test that.
Ok so you would have at least one permutation table per number of radio buttons.
You would need to randomize the order in the table like assign dbms_random.random() to
a column say TMPSEQ and then order by TMPSEQ and assign rownum to some field (to get a nice simple key for the records) So then you need a package in plsql that retains
what was the last key (permuation) that was used. When it hits the max it would reset to 1.
I think you might actually have to create a different table for each question even if two questions
had the same number of choices because it would be possible
under unfortunate circumstances for the counter to be reset precisely at the beginning of another person's
test. which would totally wreck the effect you were going for :-) Now, I have tried this function:
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/mv/msg/162827/480976/0/#msg_480976
As I have choices from 1 to 4 I got 24 rows. Is there a way to separate those values? I want to bind each choice with a number from 1 to 4 and change their order based on the permutation I selected from the table. I think I need a function that returns character at certain position e.g. chatAt(str,i) so it would be like:
for i 1 to 4 loop
if(charAt(str,i)=1) then
Select chid into first_choice from choices where QID=:page_item and choiceNumber=1;
endif; ....other cases.... end loop
That would be my first choice in any permutation.
Is it best to create one SEQ for each question so each session just gets the next value of that question? How do I create SEQ's from PL SQL?
I also need to lock my SEQ to avoid access from multiple sessions at the same time if I wanted to save that SEQ for future use of displaying choices that were available like they were originally shown. Finally I need to return the list of choices in order to my radio LOV which I still don't know how to do! Probably a join between question table and my ordered choices on equal chid?
Edit: Maybe this way:
select TEXT display_value, CHID return_value
from table(order_choices(:P37_QID_ITEM))
Instead of the one shown in my earlier post?

Problems with Safari, tabs, radio buttons, etc.

My goal is (as you probably guessed) to have a script that unite all open windows/tabs in the frontmost window. I know at least of two theoretical ways to do this, but neither works for reasons I don't understand:
1. GUI scripting. Use Safari's menus to navigate through tabs. For some reason this works somewhat randomly, sometimes getting all tabs and sometimes one tab per window. I can get it working in an awkward way that removes all windows before opening a new one: not exactly what I want to do.
2. I have found this one browsing for solutions on the web, and it uses the System Events app. It seems that Safari tabs are "radio buttons". However, the number of radio buttons returned is always 0. Also, reading the URL with the line
value of text field 1 of group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
does not work (returns NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4).
So, does anyone have any ideas on what goes wrong? (or even better, does anyone have a script that works?)
Mac mini Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Thanks Cyclosaurus, this seems to work!
There is still one problem: when getting the URL of a window, if it is empty it will throw an "undefined variable" error. How can I avoid this? (I cannot even check if the url is empty because it is undefined.)
Here is the script I have so far, if anyone is interested:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
try
-- finding the group
set tab_group to 0
repeat with g from 1 to count of groups of window 1
if buttons of group g of window 1 is not {} and title of button 1 of group g of window 1 is not "" then
set tab_group to g
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set URL_list to {}
set N to count of windows
repeat with w from N to 2 by -1 -- going through windows
set T to count of buttons of group tab_group of window w
repeat with b from 1 to count of buttons of group tab_group of window w -- going through tabs
click button b of group tab_group of window w
tell application "Safari" to set this_URL to URL of document w
if URL_list does not contain this_URL then copy this_URL to end of URL_list
end repeat
tell application "Safari" to close window w
end repeat
set C to count of URL_list
repeat with i from 1 to C
my new_tab()
tell application "Safari" to set URL of document 1 to item i of URL_list
end repeat
on error the error_message number the error_number
display dialog the error_message buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end try
end tell
end tell
on new_tab()
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"

click menu item "New Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
end tell

Radio buttons inside Accordion tab?

So I upgraded to 1.6.1 and fixed my IE issues, but it broke
my radio buttons. On my page (
Here) I've
got radio buttons nested inside the accordion tabs. In the previous
version (1.4) everything worked fine, but after the upgrade they
don't stay checked when you click on them. Any ideas?
Thanks,

There is limited documentation on this, but you might want to use the table select phase listener.
You can see this in action in the following sample app: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/divas?entry=table_component_sample_project
