How to get a keyboard to show for a text entry box

Hi all

work in HTML and JS

I want to enter text in an input box

How do I get the keyboard to show?

Later, I also have to show a numeric keypad of the keyboard accessible in this mode?

Paul

@pbearne, note that apparently the development forum Web may be a better place to ask if you use the package WebWorks.  This forum focuses on the AIR SDK (ActionScript3, etc.).

The keyboard should automatically show if the input has focus.  I do not think that the past THAT SDK was a way to force it to come by program, although perhaps a new done.

There are also new styles of keyboard in the new SDK, including those for entering the phone numbers email, URL, perhaps others.  I've not looked into this yet, and nobody has posted examples of code to make it.  You could be the first...  Look at qnx.ui.text.KeyboardType in the Tablet OS AIR API docs.

  • How to validate the number of characters in the text entry box?

    Hello

    I have inserted a text box entry and assigned a variable (UserName). Now, I need to limit the entry of a number, maxinum of 20 characters. In other words, how can I validate the number of characters in the text entry area and provide feedback if it is more than 20 characters?

    I think that you should study the Jim Leichliter widget that allows you to use regular Expressions to validate text input.

    Hello

    http://gumbo.flashhub.NET/keyboard/

    It is a small example of a 'virtual' keyboard that will enter the text into a textinput/textarea component selected. Capslock and shift key States really aren't quite right (really need control shift/cap lock combo), but there is a simple tab and backspace (delete) and enter the function key.

    hope this is useful

  • How to set the default text for a text entry area dynamically?

    I do a simulation and grabbing a my user text entry.  I store in a variable and you want to use as the default text for a text entry later in the simulation box.  It seems like it would need current for a software simulation.  However, I don't see a way to set the default text.  If I put the variable in a legend, I would use the syntax $$variablename$ $.  I tried to fix this in the text by default, but it did not work.  It is not interpreted as a variable.  Does anyone do this?  Please share.  Thank you.

    I had a need to do that as well... put a variable as default text name in a TBE field.

    I have a widget AS3 to do this, which can be found here.  There a Cp 4 demo file that does exactly what you describe.

    When the text input field is selected, I want to change is the border color or show a shape... something like that or even the color of the text.

    If anyone is interested, the answer is:

    When the field is developing the text will be empty
    kword.onSetFocus = function(oPrevFocus:Object):Void
    {
    KWord.Text = "";
    }
    When the update go away text will be keyword

  • Text entry box does not show all the text

    I'm creating a simple exercise where I want the user to copy text from the course, paste into word and report back what the number of words.  I thought that perhaps the text entry box would be the best way to go, since if you click the text (the default), you can copy it.  However after I place the paragraph of the text in the box and resize in the editor, until all of the text shows, it does not show all the text during playback is previewd or published.  It only shows the last words of the last row in the upper part of the box.

    Is there something that I am missing?  Or, is there a more easy/better way to do what I need?

    To combine PDF files, how can I keep security to prohibit printing and text entry? In Windows Explorer, I highlight the individual PDF files, right click and choose "combine with Adobe Acrobat. I'm done and get my single file with all the PDF pages included, but nowhere I can't find where them prohibit printing of the any PDF combined or refusing to be seized of the text... as I'm able to do when I export to PDF from InDesign.

  • AF:table value of text entry box does not get stored in the database.

    Hello
    I use af:table in my jsff page. The table contains the column of text entry box. After clicking the Create (+) button, a line has been added to the table. I got value into the text entry field and click the 'OK' button to commit the transaction. When I check the database, the entered value is not stored in the database.

This time, the value you entered get stored in the database. It's look like, the value of current row is not updated until the action tab. Please help me solve this problem.

  • Text entry boxes: how to align the text

    I'm not loving the certificaate widget in Captivate 5 I decided to create my own background image landscape certificate. I added all the text of the certificate to the image so users only things have to do when the lesson of Captivate viewing is enter their name and the date in the text entry boxes. The problem I have is that I do not see a Format tab where I can line up text as I can for areas of legend. Now the names and dates entered by using the text input boxes are entered as left aligned while the background text on the certificate is centered.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    No possibility of alignment in one TextBox entry, sorry. But why not replace it with TextArea Widget? There you have all the possibilities of formatting and if necessary, can be associated with a variable.

  • How can I view a hand to a button cursor text entry box

    I am using Captivate 5 and have an annoying problem...

    For General click box, there is an option to 'See the hand cursor on the affected area' which will result in the cursor changing to a helping hand when rolling over the click box area in the published presentation.  I want to do the same for the button 'submit' in the text entry box. Is it still possible?  I hope to ensure the coherence of things as a user is clicking on through the presentation.

    I find it odd that it has the same property found on the clickbox because it has the same purpose.  I use a background image screen to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actually hide the button submit, but the button I want to press lack the hand cursor which would indicate that it is clickable.  I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to switch because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving.

    Hope that all of the senses.

    Hello

    Another approach is to use a rollover caption. Just remove any text and set the caption as transparent. Then layer the rollover area over the part where you want the hand to implement a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change is made. Clicking on will cause then trigger the underlying Submit button that appers to be invisible and laminated on a picture.

  • Pages - iOS. How to get the keyboard to appear?

    Hello

    I need on a regular basis to fill out a form. Rather than write every time that I wanted to type it. I have reproduced the form on my iMac (office) using tables for simple data entry. So I decided it would be easier to use my iPad for entry, so I imported the file into the iPad and opened it with Pages. The problem I have is that the file opens ok and I can click in the tables, I can't get the keyboard to appear. What is the round to do?

    Thank you

    I got it. I need to double tap in a cell so that the keyboard will appear.
