Wanted: Popup which allows the user to enter one string

Hello,
as the topic states, I am searching for a (modal) popup which lets the user enter one string in a text field and returns this string.
I am currently using the function module 'POPUP_TO_GET_ONE_VALUE' for this purpose which works quite good - BUT it has one major drawback: the string that is returned is entirely in capital letters. This is not acceptable as I want to build a case-sensitive search based on the input...
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated !
Best regards,
Patrick

Anand,
I'm just finished with your first reply - checked out 'POPUP_TO_SEARCH_VALUE' - and you already gave a second option - marvellous !
Will try the other one out right now.
You are right, the parameters that reference to the DDIC made me wonder and decide against this FM when I searched through all the available popups some time ago.
To your first reply:
the popup is quite good. It does indeed deliver a 'case preserved' string. What I don't like is the checkbox and the fact, that the confimation button is labeled 'search' rather than just the 'ICON_OK'. I should mention at this point that I reuse the popup in other scenarios where the string is not used for a search but to name certain objects. Again an all uppercase string (or all lowercase string as well) is unwanted.
Now on to the second popup...
Regards,
Patrick

I want to get all the User Name in a string[ ], but How..... don't know

hi all
I have table in MS Access databse called Login with two coulmn (User, Password),
I want to get all the User Name in a string[] called USER,
(LIKE USER = {"AA","BB","CC",........"zz"};)
can anybody send me the code to get the USERNAMES form Login Table, i tried lots of way but bad luck
so plz someone send me a code.
Thanx

Well, the biggest problem is that you don't know (probably) a head of time how many names are in the table.
So i'd first stuff them into a managed array such as ArrayList
So you'd
(1) Iterate over the resultset
(1.1) for each row call getString() on the user field
(1.1) call add on the ArrayList to add the string
(2) Call toArray on the ArrayList to convert it to a plain array
(NOTE: you will have to pass a String[] {""} arg as a parm to
toArray() to get the right type of array.)

How to insert a dialog box which prompt the user enter the general information in the SDI application?

Im using the SDI application to build a system and now i would like to insert a dialog box which allow the user to enter the general information about themselves and then it will be saved into a text file. How to insert the dialog box and show the dialog box at the beginning of the program.

Hi Lee,
The easyest way to achieve this is to declare an object of your dialog box derived class (e.g. CUserInfo, public CDialog) into the InitInstance method of the main application class.
Depending on the behavior you want you can place the code before dispatching the commands from command line (in which case the main frame of the SDI application will not be shown), or after, in which case the UserInfo dialog box will be shown over the main application window as modal.
The code snipped bellow can be more helpfull:
BOOL CSDIApp::InitInstance()
AfxEnableControlContainer();
// Parse command line for standard shell commands, DDE, file open
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
//prompt user for data
CUserInfo dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
//do something here with the data
else
return FALSE;//i.e. quit the application if the user presses the 'Cancel' button
// Dispatch commands specified on the command line
if (!ProcessShellCommand(cmdInfo))
return FALSE;
// The one and only window has been initialized, so show and update it.
m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);
m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();
return TRUE;
Hope this helps,

Allow the user to add multiple email addresses in Email ID Field

In my jsp page, the funtionality i need to enhance is to allow the user to enter multiple email addresses in the "To" field of my Email A friend Task...right now it allows only one email id to be input by the user
Can anyone suggest me how to achieve it using javascript /jstl
Thanks in Advance

one more alternative is u can use : StringTokenizer class.
Code as follows: I hope this also helps u. But it will be used at server side. not at client side(for client side validations , we are using javascript).
java.util.StringTokenizer stringTokenizer=new java.util.StringTokenizer(request.getParameter("to"),",");
          String[] list=new String[stringTokenizer.countTokens()+1];
          int i=0;
          while(stringTokenizer.hasMoreTokens()){
               list=stringTokenizer.nextToken();
               i++;

Detecting which line the User is Editing IN table control

Hi,
I am doing a Dialog programming where there is a Table control. Now the problem is I have to decide to checks certain rules based on data entered in the Table control. But the Rules should be applicable only to the Row in which the User is entering data. And even if the the same rules are failing in another Row of the Table control it should not get validated i.e The rule should be applicable only to the ROW the user is entering the data or Changing the Data.
How do i sense in which row the User is entering data in the PAI of the Table control.

You will have to use GET CURSOR, please do F1 help on GET CURSOR, your answer is there.
You will be doing something like this.....
DATA: CURSORFIELD(20) TYPE C,
CURSORLINE TYPE I,
CURSORVALUE(20) TYPE C.
GET CURSOR FIELD CURSORFIELD LINE CURSORLINE VALUE CURSORVALUE.
* To know exactly which line in the internal table you
* must account for which page of table control the user
* is currently one, so you need to add the TOP_LINE
* value from the table control to find the exact
* internal table row
* Set cursorline and read table.
CURSORLINE = ( CURSORLINE + <table_control>-TOP_LINE ) - 1.

One way of doing this is to use either a ring or enum where the strings
presented to the user are "1", "10", or whatever you like. On the
diagram, the values will be 0, 1, 2, in a compact counting sequence.
Then do an array index into a constant. If this is done more than one
place, make the control a typedef so you can keep them consistent an
d
make the index be done in a subVI. Then whenever you need this, you
drop the control and the subVI, out comes the integer, float, or
whatever it is you want to index.

I don't want to allow a user to enter a date that is before January 2014

I don't want to allow a user to enter a date that is before January 2014. I want to restrict users from entering a date that is or prior to December 31, 2013 in a date field. Is this possible?

Seems like it is a little more complicated just to create a new Date() object in livecycle...
the way I found to create a new Date() object is using the dateTimeEdit pattern to be 'date{EEEE, MMMM D, YYYY}'
then u can create a new Date
var date1 = new Date(DateTimeField1.editValue);
date1.getTime();
or
you can also click the following link and download the pdf from the blog...
Adobe LiveCycle Designer Cookbooks by BR001: Date handling in Livecycle Designer ES forms
using XFADate object make it easy to manipulate dates with javascript
The XFADate object created by BR001 is very good but to be able to see if a date is prior to another date you can just add this function in the object script..
you can add that function at line 200...
that.isPriorTo = function(date) {
     var toDate = newDate(date);
     if (isNaN(this) || isNaN(toDate)){
          return false;
     } else{
          var interval = this.getTime() - toDate.getTime();
          if (interval > 0){
               return false;
          } else{
               return true;
To use that function above you can just use this code:
if (XFADate.newDate(dateFrom).isPriorTo(DateTo)){
     //dateFrom is prior to dateTo
hope this help

Popup screen with two check box and a text area for the user to enter value

hi,
i have a requirement when a button is clicked a popup screen should appear with two check box and a text box where the user can enter a value.
is there any function module which has that functionality

Hello,
You can create a new screen and select the screen type as model dialog box.This will give you a pop-up screen and you can call this model dialog box screen in the PAI of the screen where the button is present.(At user-command).
case ok_code.
when 'BUTTON'.
call screen 200 starting at 10 10.
You can design the PBO of this pop-up screen as per your needs.

How to Limit the user to enter in Array

Hii Friends'
I am having 1 array control in front panel .In which the user will enter the values.... now actually in real time i will visible upto 20 elements in the array control ...But the user have to enter only 5 elements in the array ....how to restrict them.........

Will the array ever containg more than 5 elements? If so, would you want to have more than 5 elements to be shown? If you could have 6 elements shown, would you want the user to still be restricted to only editing the first 5?
You can resize your array on the front panel so that only 5 elements are shown. Then right click on the array, Visible Items, and remove the check mark from index display. Now they are restricted to seeing 5 elements and have no means of indexing the array on the front panel to get to any others.
If your use case is more complicated than that, then you will need to explain it more so that a programmatic way can be devised to allow or disallow editing of other elements.

UI design - what is the best way to allow the user to set some kind of infusion at varying (non periodic) times?

I want to allow the user to specify a curve like this:
Such that some subVI outputs the value A2 when a time variable is within the range R1, A1 when the time variable is within the range R2, and A3 when the time is within the range R3.
My design looks something like this:
With error checking that looks like this:
My question is, is the array based approach optimal? How else could I tackle this?

I think I can summarize the conversation to this point as an answer to the original question (What is the best way ...) -- before starting to write any code, think carefully about what you want to accomplish, and write it down (otherwise known as "Write the Documentation First"). One of the points of a good User Interface is that it doesn't allow users to "make silly mistakes" -- it leads the user "by the hand", restricting the entries to "legal values" and requiring that entries be made in a logical manner.
So if you were going to have a list of Infusions to enter, it makes sense to decide on whether to enter Time Intervals (which are always >0) or Times (which, logically) are always in ascending order. You can (and should) decide which you want (or you could have a control that would let the User decide, but that might be too flexible) and then enforce your "rules".
Suppose you decided on "Intervals" (which seems, to me, to be more User Friendly). After the User has entered the intervals (and you've provided a nice plot of Infusion vs Time), you could allow the User to "split" an Interval, "Remove" an Interval, or "Edit the Infusion" of an Interval, or you could decide to have a simpler "Accept or Start Over" choice -- if you only have a few intervals, the last might be the simplest (and thus the Best) Design Choice.
Spending more time thinking before coding usually pays Big Dividends!

Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language

Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language within the application from english to Japanese and vice versa. And everything works fine.
I am using flex 4.5
We allow the user to save records with english or japanese texts.
problem
When the user manually enters Japanese text and tries to save it the record defaults back to the default name (which is in english). But if you copy the entered text and paste it and then save it.It works fine.
Any idea , why this is happening?
Please let me know if the question is not clear.
Looks like there was already a bug
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-28894?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.iss uetabpanels:all-tabpanel

Way to allow the user access to the saved lists of this Z report

We have a Z report that we want to run at midnight each Sunday and then view the output/layout first thing Monday morning. We can schedule the report to run but it appears that the only way we can save the output as a 'file' for later viewing is by using the "Save with ID" option, which puts the output into a SAP 'saved list'.
The problem with this is that it doesn't appear to be possible to access that list from the Z-report - it would appear that you have to go into SQ01 and use the 'saved list' button. This means giving the Z- report user access to SQ01 as well as Z-report, which, for security (SOD) reasons we don't want to do.
We can run the report in foreground with the output option "File store" and save the output as a file to a specified location,. But this option doesn't appear to be available when the report is scheduled as a background job. If this is done, the background job runs but there's no output anywhere, as far as we can tell.
So what want is to run the report in background but with the output option 'File store' or equivalent (i.e. an output stored somewhere that the report user can view). Is this not possible, or have we missed something in setting up the report run?
Or is there a way to allow the user access to the saved lists of this Z report without giving them T-code SQ01?
Thanks

Hi !
I just wonder if the answer from Varishtb below did solve your propblem.
I have exactly the same problem as you. I also want to be able to look at the saved list without using the sq01.
If you solved it I will be grateful to get the solution.
regards Lars
answer:
You can call the infoset query directly from a transaction code. There's
no need to copy it as a 'Z-report' (or as a custom report). In fact,
everytime you're copying an infoset query to a report, you're calling
for problems the next time you face an upgrade. (That is because SAP
changes the internal logic used to handle the infosets queries from
version to version)
We're using some infoset queries and they work fine this way.

How can I allow the user to retake a quiz from the middle of it in Captivate 7?

Hello Captivaters,
I would like to force the learner to pass a quiz before he can continue on with the training. If he doesn't pass the quiz, he will need to go back and take it again. The "retake" button allows him to do this, but I will actually like to have 4-5 of these "quiz checkpoints" in the eLearning -- each separated with presentation material -- so that the user proves he understands the material before advancing.
Therefore I would like to create my own "retake" button at the end of every "quiz checkpoint" that takes the learner back to the first question of that checkpoint (not to the first question in the training). So far, I have been able to create a button that appears after he gets a certain amount correct to allow him to continue, and I want to create a button that appears that takes him back to the first question in the checkpoint if does not get the required amount correct and retake those questions. The first part is easy, but I also need to add the function or reassign some variable to allow the user to retake the quiz. I hope I am making sense.. Any help would be much appreciated!
- Ryan

It's great! Thanks again.
Here is the issue now. I guess it's not a huge problem, it's just if I can't find a better way, what I need to do will take a lot of time.
Like I mentioned before, I created this "results" slide that on enter either shows a "congrats" button or a "retry" button, depending on whether or not the user passed the quiz. I have copied this slide and pasted it behind all of the other sub-quizzes in the training, but when I do that, of course the link between the buttons and the conditional advanced action break.
As you know, when you duplicate a slide, all of the names of the objects on that slide are "refreshed" and are replaced with new generic names because you are in fact creating new objects as well. This means that I need to rename all of the objects on that slide (even though its a duplicate) and then replace all of the "old names" in the advanced action with these new object names.. Is there a faster way to do that?
Thanks again!!
Ryan

Reader 9 won't allow the user to email back a pdf

I created a fillable pdf form yesterday that includes a submit email button. I worked around the fact that it wanted to send an xml file instead of a pdf file. It works fine in pre Reader 9 versions but Reader 9 wants to send back a data file not the actual pdf file. Any ideas as to how to work around this issue? I've already changed
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto":/>
to
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto":/>
which worked out fine until I tested it in Reader 9

Have you tired the Acrobat menu items "Advanced => Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader"?
This action will allow the user with Adobe Reader save the filled in form, and the ability to save the completed form is needed to be able to email the completed form.
