Where is Background Color Property for Text Field Prompt in Developer 6i

I update all my works from developer 2000 to developer 6i (forms 6.0). All my screens are now irregular becoz, the text field prompt background color property is not present in forms 6i. Can you help me how to solve this prob.
(one more solution i found is, can do the prompt as separate canvas object, but is there any way to set the background color for prompt entered in text field.)
Thank you

Hi
I think there is a bug in the first release of Forms 6i,
where the prompts got the same backgroung color of the
related item (in fact, it must have no back color,
because it has no "background color" property).
Try applying a patch over it.

How to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.

Hello,
I tried to set the Background Color of a Text Field in a Tabular Report.
But I was not able to change this colur.
In the report attributes --> column attributes
I tried already:
1. Column Formating -- >CSS Style (bgcolor: red)
2. Tabular Form Element --> Element Attributes (bgcolor: red)
but nothing worked.
Can anybody help me?
I Use Oracle Apex 2.2.1 on 10gR2
thank you in advance.
Oliver

in "Report Attributes" select the column to move to the "Column Attributes" page. In the "Element Attributes" field under the "Tabular Form Element" region enter
style="background-color:red;"
I will also check if there is a way to do this via the template and post here again
edit:
in your template definition, above the template, enter the following:
< STYLE TYPE="text/css" >
.class INPUT {background-color:red;}
< /STYLE >
(remove the spaces after the < and before the >)
change "class" to the class that the template is calling
(I'm using theme 9, the table has: class="t9GCCReportsStyle1" so I would enter t9GCCReportsStyle1)
A side-effect of using this second version is that ALL input types will have a red background color--checkboxes, input boxes, etc.

Background color of disabled text field?

In my JClient app, the background color of text fields changes when they are disabled (which is good). But I can't seem to figure out where the color it's background is being set to comes from...not from the text field. Maybe somewhere in the look-and-feel? Anyone have any ideas?

Found the fix for my problem (again, as usual):
The problem is with the windowsXP look-and-feel. There is a patch, see winlaf:

Where is background color stored in CS3 Bridge?

I would like to change the background color of the Bridge interface to match my desktop and Photoshop (both of which are currently #C0C0C0, or (192,192,192). I can go into Edit/Preferences/General, and play with the User Interface Brightness and Image Backdrop sliders and eyeball it, but I'm looking for something a little more precise.
Is the color saved in an XML file somewhere? (I looked in Adobe Bridge Panel Preferences.xml, which seemed like the most likely candidate, but did not find anything that looked like it.)
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

How do I add color to a text field?

I'm setting up a simple Flash contact form that sends a mail message using PHP. I'm using the Text Input and Text Field components and would love to style the background tint of the text fields so as to not be white. I want to be able to enter my own hexidecimal number. This seems like it should be easy, like a button or property or something, but I can't figure it out. Please help!
Using Flash CS4 on a Mac, in an ActionScript 2.0 file. (Can make a 3.0 file if necessary).

I'm not sure how to create an input textfield other than dragging out a component. What's the difference?
Also, this is a difficult one to search for, since all of my attempts have given me answers on how to style the text in the field, but not the background color of the field.
Any good tutorials on how to create custom skins?

How to change the color of the text field of form

Hi ,
Is there any way to change the color of the text field of the form........
Thnx in advance .......
Cheers,
Eman

Hi Bob. I'm new to these forums and I'm not sure of protocol and exactly how this is supposed to work, so If I'm doing this wrong then please excuse me and let me know.
I liked you solution on 'How to change the color of an Item on a form' using <blink>.
I'm new to this application and coding as well so its kind of foreign to me.
Working on a Report Page,
I would like to have item, :P1_JOB_NO blink when the difference between sysdate and :P1_DATE_DUE < 7 days.
I can identify the job_no which should blink by using the sql statement:
SQL> select job_no from oax_projects07 where
2 (sysdate - date_due < 7) and
3 emp_name = 'GARY PILKENTON';
JOB_NO
20060627 050
But I dont know the proper syntax to make it blink,
or when to plug the syntax into.
ie, is it a process, a validation, etc.
Do you have any advice for me?

Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org.

Where is the Inspector Window for Text Edit for Office Org. My tool bar does not look like this. It's only one line with font, Style, size, font color, BIU, alignment, line spaces and indentation options. The help says that this is how I adjust my page margins. That is my goal.
Thanks

The name field must match that found in the email confirmation. Even a missing Mr. will cause it to fail.

Change the font color of a text field in a table by key-combination

I want to change the font color of a text field in a table (single cell only) on pressing a key combination. Does anybody know how to do this.
I have a lot of data in a table. During an evaluation of the data in a meeting I want to change the color of the text depending on the result of the meeting. (for example: High risk = CTRL+R makes the text red).
I know how to change the color using a button, but I do not want to add a button after each cell. For this reason I would like to do it on a key combination that alway refers to the active cell.
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Marcel

Hi,
I don't think you can use the ctrl key like that as those shortcuts will be intercepted by Reader (ctrl-R toggles the ruler display on / off). You also might have trouble updating the color while you still have focus on it. You can use the shift key in a similar way, so if you only have lower case characters in the text fields then you can do something like;
if (xfa.event.shift)
    switch (xfa.event.change)
        case "R":
            this.fontColor = "255,0,0";
            break;
        case "O":
            this.fontColor = "255,102,0";
            break;
        case "G":
            this.fontColor = "0,255,0";
            break;
    xfa.event.change = ""; // ignore character
If you need uppercase characters maybe you can have one button to set "review mode" and test that on the if (xfa.event.shift) line. But again it wont take effect until you have tabbed out of the field.

Selectable mx:Label background color property

How can I change background color of selected text in my mx:Label when selectable=true. Default color is blue.
thanks in advance

Hi,
I think you should use something else for this use instead of Label.That will be better.
But if you want to do this with Label only then the solution is as below.
Create you own Label class which extends Label class of flex.And then use as I hv used it in my application.Below is the source
code for both.
CustomLabel.as
package
    import mx.controls.Label;
    public class CustomLabel extends Label
        public function CustomLabel()
            super();
        public function getTxt() : *
            return textField;
MainApplication
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        layout="vertical"
        xmlns:local="*">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function onCreationComplete():void
                customLabel.getTxt().background = true;
                customLabel.getTxt().backgroundColor = '0xFFFF00';
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <local:CustomLabel id="customLabel" text="Hello world" selectable="true" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()"/>
</mx:Application>
Let me know if u hv any issue.

How to change the background color only for one HTML-Portlet?

Hi all,
I have created a HTML-Portlet in my root-page. The root page have a style: Main-Style.
I want to change the background-color only for this one HTML-Portlet:
<html>
<header><title>Test</title></header>
<body bgcolor="#999999">
Test
</body>
</html>
But this does not work...
When I use the CSS, then it will change the background-color for the root-page too.
Thans
Leonid Pavlov

could you try this
<table bgcolor="#999999">
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't think you need <html><header><title>Test</title></header>
<body></body></html> for your HTML-Portlet.

Eliminate printing Border for Text Field???

Is it possible to display border on the PDF and not print on the output for Text Field??? What settings and/or scripting I need to get this working? A sample form is really appreciated.

If you use the standard border (for example), you can use the JavaScript prePrint and postPrint for each field to make the border visible, and hidden. Here's how.
1.) Highlight Text Field in Designer.
2.) In the Script Editor, select the prePrint Event from the dropdown list on the top left. (This works in FormCalc or Javascript, although I tend to use JavaScript as the language in the right hand drop down)
3.) Type in (or paste) the following code:
this.border.presence = "hidden";
4.) Select the postPrint Event.
5.) Type in (or paste) the following code:
this.border.presence = "visible";
Now when you click print, it will make the outside border hidden, and when you cancel, the border will reappear. Now this will not make the 'Solid Box', or 'Sunken Box' of the text field hidden. The easy way to fix this, is set the 'Appearance' in the Object->Field palette to 'None'.
Cheers!

Set the default border color for text fields?

My InfoPath 2010 text field borders are defaulting to white for some reason (which basically means invisible on a white form). Do y'all know if there's a way to set this somewhere? Drop-downs (for example) are still showing up as the light-grey.
Maybe I accidentally tweaked it but now I can't see where.

Hi
if you want the change color of all the field in new form,edit form and view form then share point designer can help you in that case.
Or you can user page layout in info-path form

Dual Color for Text field

Hi
I want to display 2 and more data fields in one line and have created as text field which would appear as Heading on each page (centralised in line)
like
Name (Age)
Keith Roan (40)
Jeff Shane (30)
Peter Andrews (30)
Kamal Chawla (30)
Is there a way by which I can display name and Age in different colors and still keep the centralised setting for both as a SET.
1 way is to have them as different fields (name on left - right aligned and age-left aligned), but their position would change i.e The age would appear at same place always and Name would shift depending on the length and it would not truely be centralised settings.
Thanking you in advance
Kamal

Insert both the fields Name and Age on the report and right click>format field>font-->select the color
After changing the colors of both the objects now insert a text object and right click on Name field and cut it and edit the text object and paste it. Do the same for the other field Age and place it in the same text object.
Hope this helps!
