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

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.

How to populate data from table into Radio button group in Form 10g

Hi,
I have a table with 2 columns, i.e. criteria and weight.
The weight column will contain either 5 or 4 or 3.
I want to design a form (10g) as follows:
CRITERIA----------------------------WEIGHT------------------
------------------------HIGH----------MEDIUM-------------LOW
Cost-------------------o
Duration-------------------------------o
Maintenance-------------------------o
If the criteria contains 5, it will show as HIGH, MEDIUM for 4, LOW for 3.
Do I need one radio group for each CRITERIA column?
How can I populate the table and display as above programatically in the form?

Not exactly. I want to enter input from form and the user can have all options to choose i.e. HIGH, MEDIUM or so on.
Suppose, you have option to select HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW and you can see all these options together. You select LOW and when you save, it is saves in the table as a value. So when you view the table again, it will show LOW as active and HIGH and MEDIUM are null.

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?)

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

AS3.0 Need to Store Radio Button Value as SharedObject

I am under a tight deadline. Friday Aug.22!!! I am trying to
store the value of a radio button (in a group for yes/no) when a
'Next" button is pressed. I have a nextBtn.addEventListener(...) to
contain a function which holds code to store the value of each
radio button on the page into its own SharedObject. As such:
_so.data.DrugName1 = DrugName1.selected;
I do not know the AS3.0 code to get the value of the selected
radio button in a grouping and then to use that value and store it
into the SharedObject _so.data I have been banging my head for
days. I fear I keep trying to use AS2 code for an AS3 project.
AAAAAhhhhhhhh!
Can someone please help me determine the value or data of a
radio button or radio button group. Is it "selected" or
"selectedData" or "getValue()" or "value" or "data" or what ??????
I don't know where else to turn. :(
alexdove at comcast.net
Please email direct if you can help. I'll be sure to re-post
a solution once I get it.
Thank you in advance.
Alex Dove

FlashTastic, thanks for the reply. I entered the code but I
cannot get the values to repopulate in the page when I return. I
try to put the SharedObject data of the radio button back into the
button on the page but it will not take. Here is my code:
//*************code in page to load SharedObject value back
into radio button when the page loads if a value
exists*****************
if((HumiraY_Row1.selected == false) &&
(_so.data.HumiraY_Row1 != null)){HumiraY_Row1.selected = true;}
if((HumiraN_Row1.selected == false) &&
(_so.data.HumiraN_Row1 != null)){HumiraN_Row1.selected = true;}
//******** Here is when the Next button is pushed to save the
data***
nextBtn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,
mouseDownHandler2);
function mouseDownHandler2(event:MouseEvent):void {
if(HumiraY_Row1.selected == true){_so.data["HumiraY_Row1"] =
HumiraY_Row1.selected;}
if(HumiraN_Row1.selected == true){_so.data["HumiraN_Row1"] =
HumiraN_Row1.selected;}
Still stuck. Look forward to another post. :)

How can I add radio buttons dynamically?

Hi,
I need to add radio buttons dynamically. I will be having a set of options which will be coming form a web service call and I need to convert those options into radio buttons and show it to the user. How can I do it?
Thanks,

Yep .... I too would rather have seen more time put into that kind of stuff than parallax scrolling.

Radio Button Rather then DropDown

Hello,
I have a column with Boolean value, I know there is a way to display column in DropDown/EditBox/Multiselect. Is it posible to display Radio Button rather than Drop Down and it should work the same way as DropDown.

Hey Rahul,
Throw the following script in a text box on your dashboard page and enable html. It'll turn any dropdown box into radio buttons.

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.

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.

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.
Best Regards

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.

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.

How to save input from radio buttons into textfiles, Help

Below is my code. Currently it gets the input from the textbox "Date" and places it into a textfile using "getText"
How do i get the input from a radio button?

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.

I dragged my tabs into the "Tab Group" button and now cant find those tabs but they are there in Firefox Home.

I probably did this wrong since i just started using Firefox, but i dragged a tab into the Tab Groups button on my tool bar and lost all of the tabs when viewing on my laptop. When viewing on my smartphone can still view them in Firefox Home, please help.

The app tabs feature is still in a relatively early stage of development. The option to remember app tabs independently of sessions has not yet been implemented, but it will be part of the release version of Firefox 4.
