Determine if a text box is selected

Hello

I use Indesign CS2 and I want to use a script to export the contents of the text boxes in a file.

I want to be able to select one or more text boxes to export, ignoring all the other text boxes in the document.

I can scroll through all the text boxes in the document, exporting their content, but how do I determine

Whether or not they are selected?

TIA

You need:

MsgBox myInDesign.Selection (1) .silence

  • text box and the size of the selection list

    I text boxes and select the entry in the form.

    I have the width of the box text = 200px html property and select entry have CSS style width 200px.

    It shows the same width at design time, but the much shorter run-time text box, and then select list.

    Are there assets that I can configure to adjust their width to the same to make the shape as more enjoyable?

    Your information and help is much appreciated,

    Kind regards

    Iccsi,

    Yes, experiment, but use a browser view, not DW for final verification.

    You can also experiment using Firefox addon "Firebug".

  • Filling of LOV based on a value in the text box.

    Hi all


    Will have a form page, that contains a text box and select an item list.

    For example:

    Name of the Department: the text box
    Employee name: selection list

    I need to learn all the employee name in the selection list based on the service name entered in the text box.

    I can't change the name of this Department as a pick list, or select the list to submit.

    Every time when I entered a value in the text box the value of the employee name department name must be autopopulated in the movement of the tab.

    Can someone help me to achieve this?

    Thank you
    Santini.

    Just install the employee like a LOV LOV cascading, it works even if the parent element is not a LOV itself

  • Choose cascade LOV option 'yes '.
  • Use the service element in the definition of the query of the LOV
  • Add the name of the option in the Parent parent points and items to submit the list.

  • Set the focus to the text box of the embedded NumericStepper control

    I have an application that requires I use NumericStepper edit control as ItemEditor of a DataGrid column.

    I have two problems that I can't seem to overcome, one being the result of the solution to another:

    (1) I need to instantiate the component NumericStepper during execution, because I don't ' know advance what columns it will require.  More important still, I need to specify default attributes (styles, min, max, width, etc.).  I can't understand how to specify these attributes other than in a .mxml file.  To handle this, I have crreated a component 'wrapper' that's an HBox with a NumericStepper inside her, and I can specify my attributes on the tag NumericStepper.

    (2) now that I did #1 above, although, when I click a DataGrid cell that uses this component editing, the editor comes back but the text box is NOT centered, which means that the user must click a second time if he wants to type a number.  It's very irritating, but I do not know how to manage the focus such as when my HBox-with-embedded-NumericStepper' control rises, it concentrates and its selected data, NumericStepper, just as the 'base' is.

    So, my questions are:

    (1) can I somehow assign property values to a standard when executing NumericStepper, so that I can avoid using my built-in custom control HBox?

    (2) how can I manage the focus so that when my control HBox is in place, the text box is selected and fucused?

    That sounds confusing, but I have a small program to demonstrate this.  The "QtyBad" column uses my own NumericStepper HBos-based and not to be put in the correct focus when activated.  The "QtyGood" column has demonstrated APPROPRIATE behavior, as exposed by the native NumericStepper component, but I can't specify additional attributes / s on this subject.

    Here are all of the program - called "DGNumStepperDemo" - here:

    DGNumStepperDemo.mxml

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"? >
    " < = xmlns:mx mx:Application ' http://www.Adobe.com/2006/MXML "layout ="absolute"creationComplete =" onInitialize () "> "
    < mx:Script source = "DGNumStepperDemo.as" / >
    < mx:DataGrid id = "dg1" editable = "true" top = "20" left = "20" width = "350" height = "124" >
    < / mx:DataGrid >
    < / mx:Application >

    DGNumStepperDemo.as


    ActionScript file
    Import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
    Import mx.controls.DataGrid;
    Import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
    //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------
    [bindable]
    private var gridData:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{Qty:0},{Qty:5},{Qty:10}]);

    private function onInitialize (): void
    {
    CDL of the var: Array = new Array();
    var dgc:DataGridColumn;

    DGC = new DataGridColumn ("QtyBad");
    dgc.dataField = "Qty";
    DGC. Width = 75;
    dgc.itemEditor = new ClassFactory (EditorDGNumericStepper);
    dgc.editorDataField = "value";
    cols.push (DGC);

    DGC = new DataGridColumn ("QtyGood");
    dgc.dataField = "Qty";
    DGC. Width = 75;
    dgc.itemEditor = new ClassFactory (mx.controls.NumericStepper);

    dgc.editorDataField = "value";
    cols.push (DGC);

    DG1. Columns = cols;
    DG1. DataProvider = gridData;
    }

    EditorDGNumericStepper.mxml

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"? >
    " < = xmlns:mx mx:HBox ' http://www.Adobe.com/2006/MXML ""4"verticalAlign ="middle"paddingRight ="4"paddingLeft = verticalScrollPolicy ="off"horizontalScrollPolicy ="off"> "
    < mx:Script >
    <! [CDATA]
    public function get value(): number {return itemQuantity.value ;}
    []] >
    < / mx:Script >
    < mx:NumericStepper id = "itemQuantity" value = "{data.". Qty}"minimum maximum ="0"="100"/ >
    < / mx:HBox >

    If anyone who bothers to run it, you can see what I mean about the focus problem in the QtyGood and QtyBad columns.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Quick response to the #2 is to change the EditorDGNumericStepper.mxml to the following:

    
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
               verticalAlign="middle" paddingRight="4" paddingLeft="4"
               verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
               creationComplete="focusManager.setFocus(itemQuantity)">
         
              
         
         
    
    

    The only thing I did was put the NumericStepper to 100% width so it fills the column like the standard NumericStepper and it looks a bit better and I added a creation complete event handler that sets the focus to the NumericStepper.  I tested it and it will be emphasis each time on it like a standard stepper.  There may be a more "preferred" way, but it's simple and effective.

    On the #1 question, you want to change the properties, styles, etc. of a NumericStepper standard once it has been added to the data grid?

  • Problem with text box on the Page Master application to other pages.

    I've done this before with success, but maybe I'm missing something and don't have the time to waste on this one there...

    I applied a text box to the master page. I applied the master page to all the other pages, but on each page, the text box will appear like this:

    Picture 1.png

    I can not type in the text box or select or something. I have a go back to the Page Master and the text box is a-okay.

    What I'm missing or doing wrong this time?

    Me once again and I have the solution!

    1. place the text boxes where you want on your Master.

    2. go in the 'Pages' Panel and highlight all the pages.

    3. in the "Pages" options of the sliding panel, choose "replace all Master Page items.

    Now, all your pages have a floating text box!

    See you soon!

  • Text box Inset Guides

    InDesign CS4 does ' t seem to show margin Text Box Locket as guides when the text box is selected only once with the selection tool (IE not dble click to change the text). The inset values can be discerned by opening the text frame Options dialog box, but in CS2, they would be visible as the guides (who helped with exact alignment) when the text box has been selected once. Note: when the text box is dragged to the new position they appear momentarily all in being dragged - not a lot of use! Any help much appreciated.

    You can not attach a screenshot in the first row who starts a thread, but you can do it in subsequent responses.

    • Use a type of compressed as PNG or JPG image to save the screenshot
    • Make sure you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

    What the font is used to display this text?
    You can select "Inspect element" in the context menu to open the Inspector (Firefox/tools > Web Developer).
    You can check the font used for the text selected in the tab fonts in the right pane of the Inspector.

  • Select text in the text box based on user input?

    I need to select (highlight) text that is present in the users choice i.e SystemPrompt from TextArea is shown where the user enters the desired text and if this text is currently present in the text box, put it highlighted, otherwise display additional information. Something like the search feature in the standard Notepad application.

    I can't find what I'm looking for in a TextEditor.

    Text of the text box is available by using the text property.

    If you can access the text typed by the user and then the index can be easily calculated. Something like this (untested):

    QString textAreaText = textArea->text();
    QString userInput = ...;
    
    int startIndex = textAreaText.indexOf(userInput, 0, Qt::CaseInsensitive);
    int endIndex = startIndex + userInput.length();
    
  • Area opacity increases when you select a text box

    I recently updated my OS 10.6.8 to 10.11.6.

    I kept Acrobat 9.5, because I like the layout of the tools much better than in later versions.

    However, with the OS later a new problem arises. When I have the displayed property bar and click on a text box or the caption box, all second row tools remain the same size, but the area opacity becomes 10 times larger! The Ribbon containing it increases as well. Even when there is no selection in progress, once the opacity box balls she remains enormous in all work on this pdf.

    This causes the entire page to jump around while I wait for it to settle.

    I know of three other people who have had this problem, so I hope others have found a solution. I have explored removing the opacity box but can't see how to do it. the property bar appears enabled, no customization.

    Thanks for your help.

    Kirsten

    I guess that you are referring to versions of Mac OS X when you say 10.6.8 and 10.11.6. Acrobat 9 is not supported and is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.11, and it is not surprising that you are facing problems. There is nothing you can do except again downgrade your operating system (or run the old version in a virtual machine, but in this case, you must get the server version of 10.6 - only which can be run in a virtual machine), or upgrade your version of Acrobat Acrobat DC.

  • Selection of text box script

    Hello

    New script if you need a little help. Try to select all of the text boxes in a document and then drag the selected items on a new layer. Is this possible and if it is you can apply it to an entire document (20 pages or more) and not just a spread?

    Thank you very much

    // Unlock all page items of a document.
    // In this case the variable doc contains the active document.
    // Could be named myDoc as well. This usually goes without saying.
    var doc = app.documents[0];
    
    // Optional:
    // Unlock every layer.
    // You could need this later, if you try to move page items to another layer.
    doc.layers.everyItem().locked = false;

  • Auto insert some text in a text box, via a selection of the option button

    Hi all

    I'm quite new to work with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, in fact, I'm new to working with Adobe period. I also took on the task to work to turn a fillable bunch of Word documents as pdf documents on the screen. Through tutorials online, trial & error and videos YouTube, I became accustomed to some of the basics for the preparation and editing of pdf documents.

    What I find much more difficult is where the tutorials on how java script commands is added to a form. Is there somewhere I can learn how to add JavaScript for, say, a radio button? I can locate the "execute a JavaScript script" tab Radio button Properties Action but in the past, it is not a lot out there.

    My ultimate desire is to be able to have a line of automatic text to insert in a text (results of the APC) box after selecting the radio (WI_0) button. If someone could write the code for this, it would be very appreciated, but above all that, I'd love to learn how JavaScript is used in a form.

    Thank you for your time,

    BobbyD

    OK, in this case you can use the MouseUp event of the fields radio button with this code:

    If (event.target.value == "in spec") this.getField("APC_Results").value = "see attached results;

    There are two types of text in Illustrator: point type and the type of area. Using the text tool: click to add the point type or press on and drag a box to add the type of area. We show you the type of area. Point type is good for a small line of text, type is for the text block and can be threaded on frames, divided into columns, etc.

    Here is a short video explanation of both: type of Point vs area | Adobe Illustrator tutorials CC
