• HO to add a scroll bar on RichTextField

  

  Hello

  I developed an application where I use this type of popupScreen.

  Here I put the image, width height to the RTF, field

  I want to put vertical scrolling, for the following is the code for this:-

  txtNote_value = new RichTextField()
  {
  protected void paint (Graphics graphics)
  {
  graphics.setColor (Color.BLACK);
  graphics.setFont (graphics.getFont () .derive (Font.PLAIN, 12));
  Super.Paint (Graphics);
  Invalidate();
  }

  Protected Sub layout (int width, int height) {}
  Super.Layout (width, height);
  setExtent (255, 55);
  }

  public int getPreferredWidth() {}
  return width;
  }

  public int getPreferredHeight() {}
  return height;
  }
  };

  txtNote_value.setBackground (imgTextBg);
  txtNote_value.setEditable (true);
  txtNote_value.setMinimalWidth (imgText_bg.getWidth ());
  txtNote_value.setMargin (5.2, 0, 2);

  Can someone give me a solution to scroll the text.

  I have add this field richtext on separate vertical field, manage and set the:-VerticalFieldManager.VERTICAL_SCROLL

  but it allows to scroll the deposited text of hole I don't want that, I want to just scroll through the inner text to RTF Fiedl

  Thanks in advance

  Adjust your fillRoundRect with the scroll position settings:

  g.fillRoundRect (getHorizontalScroll () + 4, getVerticalScroll() + 1, getWidth() - 8, getHeight() - 2, 0, 0);

  Furthermore, I feel that you have lost your settings - the first two are the coordinates of the upper left corner of the rectangle, the last two are arcWidth and arcHeight. If I'm right and you inadvertently changed place, the call would look like:

  g.fillRoundRect (getHorizontalScroll (), getVerticalScroll(), getWidth() getHeight(), 4, 1);

  Good luck!

• How can I set a ToolTip with user multiline input?

  I created a button with app.response to get user input to set the ToolTip of the area, but in my case I need multiple line text formatting in the ToolTip, such as the \n character.  How can I accomplish this?  Thank you.

  You must have the user to enter some sort of character (such as a place holder

  pipe: "|") and then replace it with a line break in your code. Or you can

  Use an object of dialogue instead of the app.response function and add a

  her multiline text field.

• "Multiline: true ' does not not with StaticText

  I have a StaticText object in my user interface board which value is passed from a directory search and I can't get carried away. I try to use multiline: true

  myStaticText: StaticText {alignment: ["fill", "fill"], multiline: true},

  What I am doing wrong?

  MultiLine is a property of creation. It should be like this:

  myStaticText: StaticText {alignment: ["fill", "fill"], properties: {multiline: true}}, \

  If you use the container of the add method, the object of properties is the 4th argument:

  myGroup.add ("statictext", size, text, {multiline: true});

• ScriptUI multiline StaticText framework too big

  Hi people,

  A that someone here had a problem (and I hope I get to a workaround!) where the static text multiline frames that are defined with a default width become larger than they should be? This seems to happen in all versions of InDesign. FWIW, this problem doesn't occur in Illustrator (using the same code).

  More text static, most useless white space appears at the bottom of the text block - and becomes the top of the window. To me, it seems that the height of the image is calculated to a width of frame more that what defines the script.

  Code example here is that displays a dialog box that shows the problem. (NOTE: the size of the frame of the static text is filled in red to show what is happening). I expect that the red zone stop at (or very close) at the bottom of the static text.

  var MsgBoxTest = new Window('dialog',undefined,undefined);
  buildWindow();
  MsgBoxTest.show();
  
  function buildWindow(){
      MsgBoxTest.alignChildren = ['left','top'];
      MsgBoxTest.orientation = "column";
  
      // Properties for MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup = MsgBoxTest.add('group',undefined);
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.alignment = ['left','top'];
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.maximumSize= [650,600];
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.alignChildren = [' ','top'];
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.orientation = "column";
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.graphics.backgroundColor = MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.graphics.newBrush(MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR,[1,0,0],1);
  
      // Properties for MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.StaticText1
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.StaticText1 = MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.add('statictext',undefined,"Nonserita demquat issimus ex eatiust, occatur, ut ommod expliquodi ratusam, que vendest dolorepro coreium volorempere doluptat as exceaquam quo qui\r\rBus reped mos exere od quodior porum?", {multiline:true});
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.StaticText1.alignment = ['left','top'];
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.StaticText1.maximumSize= [325,600];
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.StaticText1.preferredSize.width = 325;
      MsgBoxTest.MsgGroup.StaticText1.preferredSize.height = -1;
  
  }
   

  There is no work around for this problem?

  TIA!

  Hi Jim,.

  Yes, it is exactly the solution I was about to propose.

  Statictexts multi-line reveal that something weird in the average preferredSize is calculated in the layout manager. Generally, the property of characters (if it is provided before you hit preferredSize) will do a good job, as you already know how many characters a line is supposed to support:

  var w = new Window('dialog'),
      gp = w.add('group'),
      st = gp.add('statictext', undefined, "Nonserita demquat issimus ex eatiust, occatur, ut ommod expliquodi ratusam, que vendest dolorepro coreium volorempere doluptat as exceaquam quo qui\r\rBus reped mos exere od quodior porum?", {multiline:true});
  
  st.characters = 50; // WARNING: do not hit st.preferredSize before you set the characters property!
  
  with( gp.graphics ){ backgroundColor = newBrush(w.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR,[1,0,0],1); }
  
  w.show();
  

  The code above usually works well. BUT if you specify a width "presented" instead, then things become complex as st.preferredSize = [MY_PREFERRED_WIDTH-1] does not lead the layout manager to correctly anticipate the height of the widget. In fact, I suspect that the default size is always calculated from a number of explicit or implicit of the characters . We therefore predict the optimal number of characters that match the constraint. AFAIK the ScriptUI internal processing is based on the metric of the character 'X '. So my solution is to do the following:

  var w = new Window('dialog'),
      gp = w.add('group'),
      st = gp.add('statictext', undefined, 'X', {multiline:true}),
      X_WIDTH = st.preferredSize[0], // Here I grab the X width
      PREFERRED_WIDTH = 600;     // Your preferred width, in px
  
  with( st )
      {
      // Reset the preferred size so that the
      // characters property will cause an update
      // ---
      preferredSize = [-1,-1];
  
      // Estimate the optimal character number
      // considering PREFERRED_WIDTH and X_WIDTH
      // ---
      characters = ~~(PREFERRED_WIDTH/X_WIDTH);
  
      // Will force the preferred height to be computed
      // again given the implied width and characters prop.
      // ---
      preferredSize[1] = -1;
      }
  
  // Finally, set the actual text
  // ---
  st.text = "Nonserita demquat issimus ex eatiust, occatur, ut ommod expliquodi ratusam, que vendest dolorepro coreium volorempere doluptat as exceaquam quo qui\r\rBus reped mos exere od quodior porum?";
  
  with( gp.graphics ){ backgroundColor = newBrush(w.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR,[1,0,0],1); }
  
  w.show();
  

  Not sure, that works on all platforms however.

• Help with a simple StreamConnection to retrieve HTTP content

  Hi all

  I'm new to the BlackBerry development and tries to retrieve the content of a Web site and exit in a RichTextField, based on the example provided in the BB Developer's Guide. The code snippet I tested is below, but when I click on the app in the Simulator, nothing happens (it stays on the screen for downloads). Subscribe to the code of connection allows me to display the application user interface.

  class MyProgramClass extends MainScreen {
  
      public MyProgramClass() {
          super();
          String progTitle = "My Program\n\n";
          setTitle(new LabelField(progTitle, LabelField.ELLIPSIS | LabelField.USE_ALL_WIDTH));
  
          RichTextField myField = new RichTextField();
          add(myField);
  
          try {
              StreamConnection streamConn = null;
              String myURL = "http://www.google.com/";
              streamConn = (StreamConnection) Connector.open(myURL);
  
              InputStream contentIn = streamConn.openInputStream();
              byte[] data = new byte[256];
              int length = 0;
  
              StringBuffer raw = new StringBuffer();
              while ( -1 != (length = contentIn.read(data)) ) {
                  raw.append(new String(data, 0, length));
              }
  
              myField.setText(raw.toString());
          } catch (IOException e) {
              e.printStackTrace();
          }
      }
  }
  

  I thought that it might be necessary to simulate next to the MDS emulator, but I managed to get the response of a given URL code so I guess that the connection is not not a question.

  I understand that it would be preferable to apply it in a separate thread, but I don't think that this would be necessary, as a simple test? My environment is the most recent (since last week) SDK and BlackBerry plugin for eclipse and the 5.0 Bold 9700 simulator (apps: 5.0.0.535).

  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Thank you

• How to make a screen like this on Blackberry

  Sorry for the title but I don't know how to summarize the issue.

  I need to make a screen like this:

  

  As you can see, it shows these 'boxes' with elements of user interface inside each of them.

  Each 'case' is placed inside something like some sort of table cells.

  I thought it would be a good idea to represent the 'boxes' as individual screens inside a TableLayoutManager with vertical scrolling, but I don't even know if it's reliable.

  Please someone tell me how to do something like that on the BlackBerry because I have no idea where to start.

  I use JRE BlackBerry 4.5.0

  Thanks in advance!

  I would not use TableLayoutManager for that.  In fact, I would write my own Manager specific to each "Box" that you see and then just add the number of these 'boxes' that I needed.

  But since you are new (and welcome to the forums!), I think that you can get pretty close to what you want by using standard controls.

  You use a screen - and setTitle allows to set the title of the screen.  In your setTitle you would define a LabelField - and before you set, you will specify the size of the font you need.  For font color, you will need to override the paint.  In object, you just set the color of your choice

  .setColor (.)

  and then call the super.paint.

  The tips are:

  (1) setTitle is that at a certain level of the OS, it changes to be white to be black, then you will need to override paintBackground() to set the background on the color you want.

  (2) you must specify thje USE_ALL_WIDTH style for this LabelField.

  This kind of thing (change the color and the background color of a LabelField) is fairly widespread, the forum for more search tips.

  On this screen you will add each box.  Each box will be a VerticalFieldManager - you can use setMargin (...) to space out these as you wish.   Call everyone your 'BoxManager.

  Each VerticalFieldManager you will have been given the title bar.  Title bar is an another LabelField as you added under the title of the screen.  Once more you will crush object and maybe paintBackground() to get the colors you want.  Again use USE_ALL_WIDTH.  But to get the Bitmap image, you must expand the LabelField class and provide a setBitmap for this class.  Then in painting, that you have overridden it to set the color, you will also need to use

  .drawBitmap, to paint the image on the right side.

  This, after the call to super.paint ().

  The footer bar is very similar, but this time you will use the DrawStyle.FIELD_RIGHT for the labelField painted himself on the right.  It is in the constructor.

  Finally the trickiest part, the lines and the button.  Leave this for last...

  The simplest option is to add to your BoxManager and HorizonalFieldManager.  Then add a button and a RichTextField (not a LabelField) to that.  This will give you the button first.  Not what you want, but until you have worked a little bit more, are the best option.  You can us back later to get the button on the right side.

  OK, enough, do this step at a time and ask questions about each control separately that you have problems with.

  Good luck.

• HttpPushDemo throws the error of missing on real device resource

  I am trying to run the example of httppushdemo on a real device to test for problems with an application to push.  However, if I run the application in the device, I get the error "Missing resource com.rim.samples.device.resource.HTTPPushDemoRes.

  I looked everywhere to find out how to get the resource on the device and impossible to find a solution.  The documentation I found would lead me to believe that it should be compiled in the Cod.

  Why I'm so confused (and frustrated after a long day of our push to debug problems)

  Thank you

  -Bill

  In older levels (4.3 and earlier OS), RIM ran the code, so that the resources (labels field, the names of menu etc.) where in a separate package.  It's a good way to demonstrate how you could internationalize applications, but also everyone confused because putting the application on the device, you need to charge upward of the cod resources as well.

  At the latest OS (4.5 +), they do not do this.

  The demo of http push has not changed, so you can take the source of the 4.5 or later in a previous level JDE and compile it.  It will take so NOT all external files of cod.  That's what I recommend you do.

  However, for you to win download the JDE together for a single file, it is here:

• Scroll the VerticalFieldManger to see the full content of the message without losing focus on the AutoTextEditField

  I create the application such as chat window.

  I used VerticalFieldManager, AutoTextEditField and RichTextField.

  AutoTextEditField - tap the message.

  RichTextField - add the chat messages

  RichTextField is add in VerticalFieldManager.

  How to scroll the VerticalFieldManger to see the full content of the message without losing focus on the AutoTextEditField.

  Override navigationmovement. This is example how im using it.

  protected boolean navigationMovement(int dx, int dy, int status, int time)
   {
    if (dy==1)
      {
  

    int newscroll = mains.getVerticalScroll();
    int pageheigh = mains.getHeight();
      mains.setVerticalScroll(newscroll+50);
      invalidate();
    return true;  }
  

  return super.navigationMovement(dx, dy, status, time);}
  

  50. This is the step. This is very good work for me (but must create if newscroll <0 and="" if="" newscroll="">the field of cat yourmanager)

  area = VerticalFieldManager()

  Hope this makes you help.

  Best regards, Peter.

• Text not editable by user interaction

  Hello

  I am trying to create an interaction of the user with a warning written as text.

  I am not able to build unmodifiable and multi line.

  I've tried the presentation feature und several types of parameters.

  vRO version 5.5.2.

  Can someone help me?

  Kind regards

  Fabian

  Hey Fabian,.

  I think that there is no support for non-editable fields. To work around the problem, you can use the description.

  Open your interaction for the edition, go to the "Présentation" tab, select the input field, click on the "Général" tab and add the warning, change multiline text in the description; something like the following should work

  this
  is a
  multiline
  ${attr}
  

  Note that you can use the syntax ${...} it to substitute the value of the attribute, etc.

• Find Xmltag and attribute in the Xml structure

  Kings of expensive Script,

  
  

  I need a script that helps us find one after the other all the elements and attributes in xml in the "select in the structure" of the Indesign file. NOT in the INDESIGN PAGES (layout) (screenshot attached for your reference).

  
  

  @Example: this research of the Xml structure must be in the form of acrobat PDF format with advanced search option.

  
  

  

  How to find this type of labels? Please suggest and help my friends,

• Arrow keys to move the cursor in an edittext (grouped vs non-bundled)

  If I put an edittext within a group (or a Panel) as in the given code, I can no longer move the cursor with the arrow keys, so that if I have relatives he at the window, it works. Any ideas how I could get them also works within a group? Is there something installation or a magical property somewhere I am missing?

  (With the help of the latest Photoshop CC 2015)

  var win = new Window("dialog", "hello world");
  
  var text_a = win.add("edittext", undefined, undefined, { multiline : true, readonly : false });
  text_a.preferredSize = [ 600, 80 ];
  
  var group = win.add("group"); // Doesn't work with panel either
  var text_b = group.add("edittext", undefined, undefined, { multiline : true, readonly : false });
  text_b.preferredSize = [ 600, 80 ];
  
  win.show();
  

  It is a known problem that should be fixed in the next version.

  Thank you

  Eric

• Can't seem to be able to change the size of font statictext

  Help out me here. I can't be able to apply a font size larger for a multiline statictext object.

  Here's the javascript function, which seems to work fine, except to interact with the font properties. I want to use the default font, but he wants a little bigger and points bonus - "BOLD". I myself just bigger.

  TIA

  function message_dialog(message) {
    //The dialog which displays a message and can also terminate the script
    var the_dialog = new Window('dialog', 'SuperDuper Find Change'); //Make the window
    the_dialog.alignChildren = 'fill'; // Make sure the child object have 100% width
    the_dialog.orientation = 'row';
    the_dialog.alignChildren = 'top';
    the_message_group = the_dialog.add('group');
    the_message_group.orientation = 'column';
    the_message_group.alignChildren = 'left';
    the_message_group.preferredSize.width = 300;
    the_message_group.margins = 4; //Set the area around the children.
    //Create a container for the message.
    st_message = the_message_group.add('statictext', undefined, message, {multiline:true});
    st_message.characters = 35; // WARNING: do not hit st.preferredSize before you set the characters property! 
  /** --- @TODO  The font change below appears to have no affect ---**/
    st_message.graphics.font =  'dialog:21';
    //Add the Okay button
    the_button_group = the_dialog.add('group');
    the_button_group.alignment = 'right';
    the_button_group.alignment = 'top';
    the_button_group.add("button", undefined, "OK");
    the_dialog.show();
  } //End message_dialog function
  

  CC and later, you can not change the appearance of the text in the controls.
