Tooltip at a specific place of the form.

Dear D2k-Gurus
Is it possible to show the tooltip at a specific area of the canvas? Generally it shows at the bellow of the item, which can cover some other field. So, if I can specify some area in the canvas where all the tooltip will be displayed, will be helpful.
IF possible please get me on the way for 6i & 10g.
Thanks
Ananda

Of course if you need it... you can do it programmatically without the use of 'native' tooltip capability....
Use the SET_ITEM_PROPERTY built-in procedure and the following properties:
1) X_POS
2) Y_POS
This item (text item) should be invisible and will become visible as the mouse enters into another text item(text item of your application)... in order to mimic the tooltip functionality.....
Regards,
Simon

I am wanting to add picture and designs to my form how do I place it in a specific place on my form?

Currently we only support one field/item on a line. We are working on adding a feature that allows you to put multiple fields/items on a single line. We hope to have that out in a few months.

I have created a form. I just want a specific area of the form to be printed to a specific printer in Windows 7. Is there a way to do this?

There are 2 printers on the system. I want to create a Print Button, so that if the user clicks it, a desired area prints on a specific printer.
Thanks for your consideration.

No, unfortunatley there is not. For a full listing of Unicode supported characters please refer to section Unicode Character Support at FormsCentral Help | Formula syntax for built-in functions

How do I place photos in specific places in the timeline

I don't want to build my project linearly. I want to place photos in certain places, but when I try to import any they always go to the start of the timeline.
How do I put these photos where I want them, so they can become my guideposts in the timeline?

Hey Mark Burgess,
I have an article for you about importing photos into your timeline in iMovie and positioning them correctly in your project:
iMovie '11: Add photos from iPhoto to a project
After you find the photo you want to use, click the photo to see a preview in the viewer. Then do one of the following to add it to your project:
Drag it between clips or between a clip and a transition. As you drag, a vertical green line appears anyplace you can add the photo. When you add a photo, by default it is set to remain onscreen for four seconds, but you can change this duration if you want. Also, the Ken Burns effect is applied to the photo, which makes it appear as though the camera is panning across and zooming in on the image. You can modify this effect if you choose. Refer to the “See also” topics below for more information.
Drag the photo to a video clip; a green Add (+) symbol appears where you can drop it. From the menu that appears, you can choose to replace the video clip with the photo or insert the photo. If Advanced Tools are turned on, you can add the photo as a picture-in-picture clip, and more.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

How to delete empty table row in the form using formcalc

Hi All,
I am displaying a table in PDF which has a few empty rows in between. I need to delete those specific rows when the form is generated, so that they do not appear on the form.
Has anyone worked on this before? If so, can you please share the code or advise.
Regards
Aditi

Hello,
first: there MUST be same backend you get the data from right? So in this backend there is some data extraction coding, right? So the result of this coding is bad, like some unwanted extra rows are returned in the proper set of rows, right? So why don´t you change this backend coding not to return the unwanted rows?
IF that is not possible (I don´t believe this!), but just to describe other possibilities, you can place a script on the row subform event like initialize and test if there is something missing there and if so, set the presence of such a row to hidden.
JS: If (this.fieldA.rowValue == "") { this.presence = "hidden"; }

How to Enable a Push Button In The Form That Is Always Greyed Out?

Greetings All,
I am trying to enable an existing "Return" Push Button(PB) which is always greyed out whenever the form is called in either an update or review mode. After some research, I found that this PB's functional property is "Enabled" (i.e. the enabled value = 'Yes'), and it is coded programatically set 'Off' in 30 places and 'On' in 2 places in the form that I inherit from my predecessor by using the following code:
SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF('BLK_UPDATE.PB_RETURN', <XXXXX>);
Where <XXXXX> could be either TRUE or FALSE. I've been spending a lot of time in trying to enable this "Return" PB (without modifying the existing programming code) by adding the 'SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF' built-in command to set the PB on in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED TRIGGER for the PB_RETURN and WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE Trigger, but all tries in vain. Could you please help me with the following question?
What is the easiest way to enable a PB that is set programmatically?
Is there something else I should know to enable a PB, in addition to what I have already mentioned above?
Thanks in advance,
Jinlan

Thanks all for your information and help. I included the following code, as suggested by Manu, in WHEN-MOUSE-DOWN TRIGGER for the PB_RETURN and WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE TRIGGER:
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BLK_UPDATE.PB_RETURN_WORK_REQ', ENABLED, PROPERTY_TRUE);
and I made sure there was no " SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF('BLK_UPDATE.PB_RETURN_WORK_REQ', FALSE);" statements after the above code, but, the "Return" PB is still in grey; in other words, it is still not accessible when my form is called.
Perhaps, I need to place the above SET_ITEM_PROPERTY code in a different trigger other than the triggers mentioned above, uh? Any thoughts on this?
Manu,
You are absolutely right that the "SET_ITEM_ON_OR_OFF" is an ih-house written procedure which is defined/stored in the Attached Libraries. (I should have checked before making the "built-in" assumption. Thanks for catching and clarifying this.) Please help me with the following questions:
How do I view the procedure in the Attached Libraries???
Thanks in advance,

Assign Task to a specific user based on the value of DDL from the form

Hello,
Can any one please advise me on how to assign a task to a specific user based on the value of the drop down list from the form. E.g. user fills the form and before they submit the form they have to select one of the name from the drop down list so the form can go to that person for approval.
Thanks in advance,
Han

I got it works now by using the xpath expression (in workbench) to assign to the selected user from the DDL in the form.

Displaying the current users information instead of the value of the person who completed the form in the first place.

I found this fantatic post regarding querying the user profile service
http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx?pi47623=2#comments
However i have an issue whenever the form is opened again either to view or edit, it displays the current users information
instead of the value of the person who completed the form in the first place.
Please help me, I'm turning more grey each minute

I think it is how the current user information is stored based on your logic.
You might be quering current value again when loading the form (Form load Rule).
you have to tweak your logic, after the user submits the form you can set the username to the one who saved it.
or in form load, write a logic to see if the form was not saved before and then query the username( by using internal field like "formstatue")
Hope this helps!

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

How to know the forms associated with a specific transaction

Hi..
Can anyone please suggest me how to know the forms associated with a specific transaction.
For Example In Finance module.
I came to know from SDN the form associated with F.64 as F140_acc_stat_01.
But i need the steps how to track the form name.
Regards..
Vinodh

Hi,
1.We cann't find the forms associated with a specific transaction.
2.But,based on requirement we can go for the form selection.
3.Suppose in account payable and receivable , we have different forms like customer statement, Dunning and Chek form etc.
4.The functional people can find the form name in SPRO and give the details of the requirement.
5.If u have the output type or formname u can go for the TNAPR and TTXFP tables and u can search for the respect object.
6.For FI u can directly find in the SPRO, by searching it with the form name.
Regards,
If helpful reward with points(Don't forget).

How can i read all the lines from a text file in specific places and use the data ?

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(@"c:\wmiclasses\wmiclasses1.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
if (lines[i].StartsWith("ComboBox"))
And this is how the text file content look like:
ComboBox Name cmbxOption
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
ComboBox Name cmbxStorage
Classes Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting
Classes Win32_TapeDrive
What i need to do is some things:
1. Each time the line start with ComboBox then to get only the ComboBox name from the line for example cmbxOption.
Since i have already this ComboBoxes in my form1 designer i need to identify where the cmbxOption start and end and when the next ComboBox start cmbxStorage.
2. To get all the lines of the current ComboBox for example this lines belong to cmbxOption:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
3. To create from each line a Key and Value for example from the line:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Then the key will be Win32_1394Controller and the value will be only 1394Controller
Then the second line key Win32_1394ControllerDevice and value only 1394ControllerDevice
4. To add to the correct belonging ComboBox only the value 1394Controller.
5. To make that when i select in the ComboBox for example in cmbxOption the item 1394Controller it will act like i selected Win32_1394Controller.
For example in this event:
private void cmbxOption_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
InsertInfo(cmbxOption.SelectedItem.ToString(), ref lstDisplayHardware, chkHardware.Checked);
In need that the SelectedItem will be Win32_1394Controller but the user will see in the cmbxOption only 1394Controller without the Win32_
This is the start of the method InsertInfo
private void InsertInfo(string Key, ref ListView lst, bool DontInsertNull)
That's why i need that the Key will be Win32_1394Controller but i want that the user will see in the ComboBox only 1394Controller without the Win32_

Hello,
Here is a running start on getting specific lines in the case lines starting with ComboBox. I took your data and placed it into a text file named TextFile1.txt in the bin\debug folder. Code below was done in
a console app.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
internal class Program
private static void Main(string[] args)
var result =
from T in File.ReadAllLines(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "TextFile1.txt"))
.Select((line, index) => new { Line = line, Index = index })
.Where((s) => s.Line.StartsWith("ComboBox"))
select T
).ToList();
if (result.Count > 0)
foreach (var item in result)
Console.WriteLine("Line: {0} Data: {1}", item.Index, item.Line);
Console.ReadLine();

Is it possible to place more than one Item on same line on the FORM

Can we placed more than one Item on the form?
for ex: I want to use TextFields to input the Date of birth in form of DD/MM/YY
I want to put on the form like
Enter DOB :- DD MM YYYY
Please suggest if it is possible any way in J2ME

It will depend on the phone. There is no way of knowing if the items actually will be on the same line or not. On a phone with a small screen, the items are likely to end up on two lines.
You can however make sure that the lines will occupy two lines by using the setLayout(int layout) method which belongs to the Item class.

Using FormsCentral can you have a response sent to a specific email address based on an answer within the form?

For example if the respondent chose blue as his favorite color the form response should be sent to Bob. If the respondent answered red, it should go to Susan.

Sorry we don't support conditional notification. You either get notifications (if you are on this list) or you don't.

Making the Form File Object Look in Specific Folder

Hi, I am using a form to identify attachments that will be
sent with an email use webserver CDOSYS once the form has been
submitted. So, I have made the user first upload the attahments to
an 'Attachments' folder on the web and now I want him to be able to
browse to that folder so I can identify them such as
MailObj.AddAttachment
"E:\Webs\Myweb\wwwroot\Attachments\Test.xls
On my DWMX form, how do i get the Form 'File' object (with
the browse button) to browse to my webserver attachemt folder only
please as they will have previously been uploaded as CDOSYS
requires the attachemts to be on the webserver.
Thanks
Dave

You can't. That Browse button only looks on the users
local/networked
drives.
You could create a routine that would display the list of
files on the web
server and they could select it from that list.
