cannot change the text field after grouping

Hi people,

I have 3 single-line text fields and a logo combined using 'Add parents '.  For some odd reason, I can't select a field to edit text.  I can select them in the assets Panel and change the layout or style, but as soon as I double-click to edit the text, my selection goes to the div parent instead of the text field.  I tried to use the text as well, but it always happening in selection to the parent.  This isn't a big deal since I can change the text later in a Publisher, but it's a little frustrating.

FWIW, I ran the update of this morning before starting, but I doubt that caused this nothing thanks for any help

So sorry Chris, in my frustration, I removed the parent and the group so I can get the item that I wanted to edit, and then recreated the parent.

However, your description of the differences between the Group and Add Parent in this discussion: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1361983?tstart=0 probably explains why I have problems.  I think I had GROUPED fields 3 text and then wrapped in this group and the image of the logo in another div with 'Add parents '.  I have probably not been not clicking successfully through the parent company to the group, and then in the text field.  In fact, I was clicking like mad, but probably not on the correct spot for each level.

Thank you to specify how these elements work.

  • change the text of legend group object image size figure

    I need to change the text frame size legend for figure based on the width of the figure in grouped objects

    How to do it please advice.

    Your information and code are not accurate! > Some parentheses are missing, expand the textframe 240 or the width of the image?

    However: Everything made to the works contained in the user interface, it expands the scope of the legend in my test to the right. I decided to write an own function for editing.

    main();
    
    function main() {
    
    var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
    var allGroups =  curDoc.groups;
    
    for (var i = 0; i < allGroups.length; i++) {
      var curGroup = allGroups[i];
      var pItems = curGroup.pageItems;
      if (pItems.length != 2) { continue; }
      for (var j = 0; j < pItems.length; j++) {
        var curItem = pItems[j].getElements()[0];
        var constrName = curItem.constructor.name;
        if (constrName == "Rectangle") {
          var rect = curItem;
        }
        else if (constrName == "TextFrame") {
          var tf = curItem;
        }
      }
      var rectGB = rect.geometricBounds;
      var tfGB = tf.geometricBounds;
      tfGB[1] = rectGB[1];
      tfGB[3] = rectGB[3];
      tfGB[2] = tfGB[2] + 20;
      tf.geometricBounds = tfGB;
      fitFrame(tf);
    }
    
    function fitFrame(aFrame) {
      var lastBaseLine = aFrame.lines[-1].baseline;
      var b = aFrame.geometricBounds;
      aFrame.geometricBounds = [b[0], b[1], lastBaseLine, b[3]];
    }
    }
    

    Note: The script will check if there are two elements on the page of the group. It does not, check if these two elements are textframe and rectangle, it assumes that it is correct.

  • Cannot change active text fields?

    For the following code:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!-- dragdrop\SimpleListToListMove.mxml -->
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    xmlns:Componenets="Componenets.*"
    layout="absolute">
    <mx:Text id="txtName" x="247" y="24" width="181" enabled="true" text="course1"/>
    <mx:Label x="137" y="24" text="Course Name:" textAlign="right"/>
    <mx:Text id="txtDesc" x="247" y="77" width="269" enabled="true" text="description1"/>
    <mx:Label x="157" y="76" text="Description:" textAlign="right"/>
    </mx:Application>

    because these two fields are defined as enabled = "true", why is the user not able to edit the text field?


    I'm moving data in these fields of a database to allow the user to change the data before sending it to PHP.  Should I use a different control?   Is it possible to automatically create a border of fields of text like that?


    You may want to TextArea instead of text?  Text is display only but allows to copy to the Clipboard and clicking on the link.

  • Cannot change the text in the existing mathscript box

    I'm under Labview 8.2... I know it's super old, but I met some compatibility issues and found it much easier to continue in version 8.2.

    In my while loop I a mathscript box that controls which cases need to be chosen for each loop.  This configuration has worked perfectly in the past, but now when I try to change the text in the box of mathscript (blue box) I can not type anything in the box.  I click the mathscript box and selects just as if I want to move around.

    Anyone know what could be the cause of the problem?

    Thank you!

    You don't want the arrow tool. You want the tool to operate. One that looks like a helping hand.

    Have you checked that you have enabled editing that made a license for MathScript? Check your License Manager.

  • Cannot change the text box.

    Adobe Acrobat DC recently auto updated to the latest version, and it seems that the new version does not change the text boxes.

  • In the edition browser cannot change the text most

    I can't change the text of most. There are a few areas that can be changed, such as the text that is linked and images (with the exception of images of text). But the basic text not! The site is www.abientotandkidspot.com.

    You use a system font for some text, the entire text exported as an image block. If a block of text uses only web-safe fonts or present web fonts natively in Muse, it should be editable (except some other condition in the documentation link above applies).

  • Cannot change the text and no answer here fits

  • By selecting the text box to change the text field

    I worked on a form to allow suppliers to fill their reports of endoscopy online.  I'm trying to do something very simple.  If a user selects a check box change the value in a text field.  Either we allow the code to run once.  It will change the value once - even if I think it's to set an incorrect value in the code - but that is neither here nor there at this point.

    Here's the code that should work in my opinion.

    Form1. EndoscopyPage1.TestChkBox::click - (JavaScript, client)

    If (this.rawValue == 1)

    {

    TestTxt1.rawValue = "ON"; the user cannot enter field

    }

    on the other

    {

    TestTxt1.rawvalue = "off"; the user can enter the field

    }

    I tried the following as well

    If (TestChkBox.value = 0) then

    TestTxt1.editValue = 'Off ';

    endif;

    If (TestChkBox.value = 1) then

    TestTxt1.editValue = "ON";

    endif;

    I have attached the file as well.  My trial fields are in the middle of the first page.

    It's just a typo. You typed rawvalue rather than rawValue "V" must be upper case.

    See the attahed to the snap.  It works for me after you change this property.

  • Cannot change the text style in the first 12 items

    In the first 12 items, it seems as if when I add a title and text and you want to change the style of it, which there are many choices, I can do it once or twice, but if I want to do with multiple texts, it does not work. After changing the style of some text once, or maybe two, it does not work yet. The text does not change when I click or double click on the style that I want to use. I have to close the software for each text and then reopen my project to be able to edit another and keep this. I do not understand why it works no more than one or two times?

    What you say is an old story that you may have missed.

    There is a default text Style / in space of work elements 12 Expert (not quick workspace). This flaw was corrected by updating your 12 to 12.1 via Help Menu/updates to date. Have you been there and done that?

    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2014/03/pe12-update-121-released.html

    The blog should give details on update 12.1, including some history on 12 issue of Style of text/before the 12.1 update.

    Please let us know if you're OK with the above information and if it worked for you.

    Thank you.

  • detect device language and change the text field accordingly

    Im working in Flash Pro with AIR for Android.

    I have a single text field and would like to change the language in this text field to match the language of mobile devices.

    How do I detect the language of devices, and then change the textfield object to match the language?

    import flash.system.Capabilities;

    switch (Capabilities.language)

    {

    case 'in ':

    TxtField.text = 'English LANGUAGE '.

    break;

    case "en":

    TxtField.text = "organizing";

    break;

    case "es":

    TxtField.text = "Tchequelangue";

    break;

    by default:

    TxtField.text = "Whatever";

    }

    Use Capabilities.languages [0] for the country code. for example. en-US

    switch (Capabilities.languages [0])

    //{

    case "en-US":

    TxtField.text = "English LANGUAGE. '" American ".

    break;

    case "en-GB":

    TxtField.text = "English LANGUAGE. Britain ";

    break;

    by default:

    TxtField.text = "Whatever";

    //}

  • Dell your 2161DS remote console switch cannot change the Admin password after updated to the latest Firmware

    Dear Sir:
     
    After having updated the latest Firmware [Dell your 2161DS digital switch, Firmware, Multi OS, Multi language, Multi system, v.3.1.0.0, 1.3 (A03-00)] and restore the default settings. We do this directly through the Remote Console software.  Seeing the log in window, the user name is "Admin" and there is no password.  We can access in the switch, but "Admin" a/c is missing from the "User" settings category. So we can't change the Admin password.
     
    Could you help us to change any password Admin password?

  • You cannot change the text on the models of Stock from Adobe

    I downloaded a graph (AdobeStock_117354228 & AdobeStock_117354263) and I am unable to edit the text. Specifically, it seems that there is too much anchor and points objects able to edit this file.

    Am I missing something here or these files are supposed to be difficult to change.

    I browsed this forum support and only found a post related to this topic.

    Text in .ai files are converted into marks if they use a non system font. If the image uses a font that is not on a computer by default may not be included in an editable file because the author has failed to provide to the police. The only way to change in all the classes like this is to open the image in PS and use the recognition of police tool to find the font used or one close to it. Then, delete the text in the image and add your own. It is a question of law with the licensing of fonts that requires to do this way.

  • You cannot change the text layer

    I am trying to change a word in a layer, but whenever I click on this word a new layer comes and I can't access the text in the layer I want.  What I am doing wrong?

    According to the guidelines of the screenshot you provided, it seems the text layer was rasterized or flattened, you can't get back to edit mode.

    If the menu is not a menu manual, it takes the name of the site. This means: go to the plan view and change the name of the site, or to use a name that you like right on the page icon, choose 'Page properties' and use another name.
