Dynamically change the color of the text substring

Hello!

I'm working on a simple serial terminal and I would like to change the color of each line depending on whether the message is sent or received. I have an indicator of string in which I add all messages, sent or received.

My problem is that when I change the color of a substring by using a property node, all the text in my chain indicator changes. Here is a small Video that shows my problem (my real VI is a little too big to put here but the part of string works the same. I concatenate, keep the clues and apply the property node):

Result:

Any idea on how I could change the color of the new line? It seems the selection doesn't really work, because everything in the chain takes the new color.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

PS: I've seen a web-based solution in which the property node must be extended for every line, of course it does not work for me as the number of lines changes dynamically.

The problem you have is that the string contains no format information and it does not keep the indicator.  You will need to set the font.color in each line, each time you receive a new message.  See my post here - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Different-fonts-in-string-indicator/m-p/1601602/highlight/true#M5823...

  • Dynamically change the text during the narration

    Hello!

    I have a file that contains the narration. The contents appear gradually on the stage reading of the narrative.

    On the first image, I have added a dynamic textfield, I called: soustitrage_txt (would be "caption_txt" in English).

    On another layer, on the same frame, I added this code:

    soustitrage_txt.html = true;
    soustitrage_txt. AutoSize = 'left ';
    soustitrage_txt. Selectable = true;
    soustitrage_txt. Multiline = true;
    soustitrage_txt.WordWrap = true;

    var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    txtFormat.size = 20;
    txtFormat.font = "Arial";

    txtFormat.bold = true;

    I exaggerated the value, to make sure it really does not work...


    _Global.mydata = new LoadVars();
    _Global.mydata.load ("P1.txt");

    _Global.mydata.onload = function() {}
    soustitrage_txt.setTextFormat (txtFormat);
    };

    I need to show the first sentence around the 115 frame, in which I entered this code on my "action layer":

    soustitrage_txt. Text = _global.myData.phrase1;

    A positive point, the text is displayed (yay!), but the negative is that the formatting does not work...

    Finally, when I want to move to the next sentence, around the frame 195, I get the same code (with only a variable to call another name):

    soustitrage_txt. Text = _global.myData.phrase2;

    And now it shows me "undefined"... :/

    Here is an overview of my external text file (I translated it... since it is in French normally):

    phrase1 =Hello and welcome on this guide that will show you how to adjust your workstation step by step. &
    statement2 issetting your workstation correctly will prevent you from having any discomfort as a result of a bad posture or a bad setting. &

    phrase3 =... &

    (and so on...)

    Thank you very much!

    Geneviève

    If you place these signs at the end, followed by a carriage return as you seem to be by what you posted, don't do it. Keep them adjacent to the variables that they define.

    phrase1 = Hello and welcome on this guide that will show you how to set your workstation step by step.

  • Change the text color with the eyedropper tool

    I've seen cc Photoshop tutorials where you can change the text color by using the eyedropper tool on the color swatch Panel. When the text is selected and the color swatch Panel is open. When I chose is which color I want out the color swatch Panel all them it does to change the foreground color and return to the soil box, why it changes the color of the text, as I have seen in tutorials?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    When highlighted often is difficult to tell what color the text. You can work around this by doing the above, pressing ctrl-H or cmd - H on the keyboard and the highlight will be removed, but the text remains selected. Its exactly the same procedure that you use to make the mobile dotted lines disappear just leaving an active selection. Obviously the text tool must be still in use for all this to work with text.

  • Flash CC does not correctly change the text in a dynamic text. Help!

    I'm doing the simplest thing ever! I just want to change the text of a textbox using actionscript.

    I USE FLASH PROFESSIONAL CC!

    I have a dynamic with text

    Instance name: ' ' txtHello "

    Text: 'Hello'

    in the actionscript code that I wrote:

    txtHello.text = "hi"

    When the program runs, you expect the word "Hi" is displayed instead of 'Hello.' What actually happens is only the h comes up. I did it with the longer text and especially it doesn't show. Sometimes, to show anything. Sometimes here and there the letters appear.

    Help, please!

    watched many tutorials for other versions of flash (e.g. cs5) and what I do should work. Is this a problem with Flash CC. It works when you do that?

    It's simple, so which continues the task!

  • Two quick questions (hopefully) - right way to dynamically change the CSS class and put of Splash screen implemented

    Couple of quick questions have left me speechless!

    So, it seems obvious that many JavaFX applications want to dynamically change the CSS styles.  Is the best way to do it through la.getStyleClass () .add ("classname") < node >?  The underlying data structure is a list of observable.  So let's say we have 5 styles that simply to change the fill color of a circle of 5 different colors, respectively.  So if I have a condition in which I want to dynamically apply 1 of these 5 styles, as I do now it's by setting all 5 styles as a string in a list by using a static initializer, then I call < node > .getStyleClass () .removeAll (list), then getStyleClass () .add ("classname").  I do this to avoid adding again and still the same style and inflate the underlying list.  What is the right way to manage dynamic CSS styles?

    Finally a very simple I think.  So I know there's a little differently to implement a splash screen.  My app has certainly got bigger in the last few months of development and I noticed there are about a 5 second delay between when I run the application when I see the main stage.  I was thinking what a splash screen would be nice to fill that time.  I had no time to prototype using a Preloader and I fear that using another, early stage start-up again would be too long of a delay.  "I actually thought that using the Nice and simple JVM argument" - splash: image name > "would be simple, easy and effective.  Unfortunately when I try to do, the splash screen appears but never goes away.  Anyone know what is happening with this?

    Your mechanism to manage the css style classes is a good approach; I've used several times. I wonder why the style classes have been implemented as a list, instead of a game, but there may be cases of good use for the use of a list.

    In some cases you can also consider using CSS PsuedoClasses, which were presented in JavaFX 8. Here is a little easier to use, especially if you have two options. But a use case might look like:

    public class Message {
        public enum Status { NORMAL, WARNING, CRITICAL }
    
        private final ObjectProperty status = new SimpleObjectProperty<>(Status.NORMAL);
        private final StringProperty message = new SimpleStringProperty();
    
        // constructor, getters, setters, and property accessors....
    }
    
    public Label createLabel(Message message) {
        PseudoClass warning = PseudoClass.getPseudoClass("warning");
        PseudoClass critical = PseudoClass.getPseudoClass("critical");
    
        Label label = new Label();
        label.textProperty().bind(message.messageProperty());
        message.statusProperty().addListener((obs, oldStatus, newStatus) -> {
            label.pseudoClassStateChanged(warning, newStatus == Message.Status.WARNING);
            label.pseudoClassStateChanged(critical, newStatus == Message.Status.CRITICAL);
        }
        return label ;
    }
    

    And then your css looks like

    .label:warning {
        -fx-text-fill: orange ;
    }
    .label:critical {
        -fx-text-fill: red ;
    }
    
  • Change the text in the textfield does not work

    Hello!

    Another problem, I do not know how to solve:

    I have a dynamic textfield, which lies in a graph, and based on this graphic I designed a movieclip with interpolations of fade-in and bland-out of this graph.

    However, when I play the movieclip (ctrl + enter) and I want to change the text in the textfield with textMovieclip.textfield.text = "NewText"; the text is correctly set, but the textfield object disappears from the display. When I play this movieclip with the defaulttext I put in the textfield (without changing this text) everything works fine.

    Fonts required are integrated, I is not serious if I change the text before playing the movieclip or after and textfield is not only in the back behind the scenes. And for example to change the color of the defaulttext works without any problem.

    What have I forgotten? Do I have to put another value also?

  • Acrobat Standard DC - can't change the text and text box properties

    Earlier this week, I lost the ability to change the properties of the text and text boxes.

    When I add a comment with a text box or in the text caption, I do all the time, I used to be able to change the font color, size, alignment, etc.

    Now, when I go to insert a text box or the legend, all the options in the properties bar are grayed out.

    This issue effects ONLY the text in the box and the caption functions. all the other drawing functions work very well. I can change the color, fill and the type of lines around the text, I can just change the text.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

  • change the text between the loops

    I have to update an ad that has been previously created. The original pub consists of a picture and a text and logos which loop two times then stops. Publication constraints require the announcement that two loops and a certain amount of time and stop at the end of the second loop - this was done in the original pub. The customer asked where a banner appears in the ad with specific information ('apply now for the half of January... (''), changes to information in the second rotation (loop) of the ad ("at an open house date") I'm trying to find a way to do it given the limit to two loops and a time constraint. I had to condense and edit the first draft to address the constraints, so I'm not sure that I can do almost anything with the timeline? Is this a problem of action script?

    I work in CS4 and YOU 2.0

    Any help is appreciated

    Thank you

    While Actionscript could be used to solve the problem, it is not necessarily the only solution.  You could spend with two loops and extend the timeline for the equivalent length of two loops, and change the text in the second half, repeat all that happens twice during this extended period of time.

    To take an Actionscript approach to solve, you can do a simple logic check to change the text.  There are several approaches, you could take, being...  Start with the (dynamic) textfield is empty.  First check if the textfield object contains the first loop of the text and if it then assigns the second loop, but if not, assign the first text.

    If (tfield.text == "Apply now for the half of January...") {}

    TField.Text = "to a date of open doors";

    } else {}

    TField.Text = 'apply now for the half of January... '. » ;

  • Change the text of the legend on formready (running on the server)

    Hello

    To change the text of the caption of a field of text as follows:

    (formready, executed on the server, javascript)

    TextField1.caption.value.resolveNode("#text").value = "hello";

    It is a dynamic form and we use LC Forms ES 8.2 on a Windows platform.

    The problem is that the legend IS NOT change the text of the caption, if it runs on THE SERVER. If I change it to run it on the client (for example, Acrobat 9, PDF overview of LC Designer) it does not work.

    Thank you very much for your contributions!

    Daniel

    Set your renderAtClient on no. or false (I don't know the specific parameter). If you leave it in auto, then you allow the form to decide (form properties/Deafults). If the form is dynamic, then by default it will render to the client and not the server.
