Select the text in a text field when selected on?

I would like to change my form so that when you click on a text field (per a user in adobe reader) all the text in the field is selected.  This is the behavior by default when you tab through the form, but I want to do even if the text field is just clicked.

As part of the same question, I would like to know if there is a script that can be used to create entries in the keyboard?  If there is another way to do it would be better, but it might be useful if I could program the form so that when you click on a text field the keys 'Ctrl' and 'A' are used to highlight and 'Ctrl' and 'c' to copy the text, because it would be the main purpose of the form is copy and paste to a customers Web site.

The first part of your question can be made by putting the following code in the click event (JavaScript) of a text field:

xfa.host.setFocus (null);

xfa.host.setFocus (this);

  • Fill in the text field when TWO radio button is unchecked

    Hello

    I don't know anything about javascript and need help.  I have a photography contract I want to offer a "discount package" of $50 when the two services will be used.  1 service is 'Photography coverage' and Service 2 'Photo Booth Rental'.

    Text field 1 = subtotal (calculates the values of checkbox and radio button)

    Text field 2 = discount (it's where I need help.  I would like this automatically filled with $50 when my default two boxes are not selected.  But only when the TWO are not selected)

    Text field 3 = Total (which has a basic calculation of the Subtotal-Discount)

    The services of two by default (it's done on purpose, I checked from the beginning) are both set to the '0' values to keep the subtotal $ 0.  If the client will use a service (which means one of the default selections will be selected), then there will be no discount, but if they decide to use photography and the cabin, they save $50.

    Can someone please help me to write a script for the text field, Discount calculation, to accomplish what I ask?

    Untitled-3.jpg

    You can use something like what the calculation script custom field discount:

    Event.Value = (this.getField("Service1").value == 0 | this.getField("Service2").value == 0)? 0: 50;

    Simply adjust the field names in the code to match the real in your file.

  • Shrink the text field

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my textfields in Livecycle. My goal is to have a text field of a certain size that can expand to accommodate more text or reduced to fit the text that does not have full space that offers the text field. I put my height of the text field to display everything and wrote a javascript statement to minimize the size of the text box to fit all text entered. The code is as follows and is in the output of the field event:

    If ((this.resolveNode("$").rawValue! = null & & this.resolveNode("$").rawValue! = "") & & this.resolveNode("$").rawValue! = "Enter text here.") {

    this.resolveNode("$").border.presence = 'hidden ';

    this.resolveNode("$").h = "";

    }

    EC that it is supposed to do, is to minimize the height of the text field when the user leaves the field so that the field corresponds to the amount of text (there is a default value on the field "Enter text here."). Everything works perfectly and the field will develop and adjust the text, however when the form is saved and then re-opened, the text field is reduced to an incredibly small size so that only the first line of the text is visible and it is cut in half.

    I suspect that the problem comes from the fact that the script I've written sets the height of an empty value, but it is only in the case of output, so the size of the field should not change from when the form is saved to when it is open. Does anyone have ideas for how to fix this?

    Replace this.resolveNode("$").h = "' with this.minH =".01in ".

    Also, this.resolveNode("$") is the same as just 'this' (as I know).

  • Drop-down lists of the fill of the text fields on a different page from the drop-down list.

    Hi all

    I have a form with multiple pages. The first page contains a number of drop-down lists. These lists, drop-down list when the option is chosen, must complete a field text on another page. I can get the drop down menu to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script does not work. Can anyone offer a solution? I used javascript on the changes to the scripts.

    Every time reference you the other object... so I guess in the code located on the DDlist.

  • Problem of text selection in the text field for entry in the emulator

    I'm having a problem of text selection in a text field when I run my application in the emulator Playbook. Let me see if I can expose the problem here:

    1. The field in question is a classic text, text with an integrated in police entry field. The domain is in a SWC and referenced in another FILE.
    2. The code is set up such that when a user clicks the field function is called to highlight all the text. The code is more or less as follows:
    thisField.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onFieldClick);
    
    private function onFieldClick(event:MouseEvent):void
    {
       var selectedField:TextField = event.target as TextField;
       selectedField.setSelection(0, selectedField.text.length);
    }
    

    The problem I'm having is that when I try clicking on the emulator, the text field in 'domain' is sometimes selected as expected, sometimes not. When the text is not selected as expected the cursor always appears in the field and the Playbook keyboard slides up by below. What is particularly problematic, that's what often happens, is that the whole scene moves upward on 10px when it is clicked on the ground. If I try to click on the same ground once again, another change to the top of 10px or so, etc..

    So why the text not properly selected and why the scene evolves upwards?

    I realize that more information may be required from me to correctly solve this problem, but if someone has all understand why this may be the case, I would be happy to learn from him.

    Thank you

    I can answer the question of displacement.  This is a bug in BB and supposed to be fixed in version «next» SDK

    The question of the selection, I'll guess has to do with the fileld with focus, selection is not possible.  Try to set the focus outside of maybe the text field?

  • List drop-down selection trigger change in the text field

    I'm hit a roadblock here. I'm on Adobe Acrobat XI and here's the scenario: I have a list box and a text box.

    Drop-down menu field has 3 caps (A, B, C).

    If A is selected, the text box = 15 default, but has the ability to change in the text box.

    If B or C is selected, the text box = 0 or "by default, but it has the ability to change in the text box.

    If I use an if/then with a .value, I'll be able to get the numbers to work, but do not have the ability to edit and keep them there. If I enter another number in another area, the JavaScript code will run and change the text box to 0 or 15.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Instead to use script logic for the text field, use the drop-down validation script. In this way, that it only will be triggered when you change the value in the drop-down list field, not when you change any field in the file (as the calculation script).

  • Dynamic text field not display the text even when the font is embedded.

    Hello

    So, I have a basic actionscript code.  It is a heritage site, so I use AS2.  The line of code is simply this:

    myField.text = "text".

    So I select the text field on the stage, and then make sure that the police is incorporated.  All the glyphs I want are checked, but then when I compile and test, the fonts do not appear when the code is executed.  Instead, the TextField is empty!  That's happened?  Where the text is?

    I should mention that the .swf that I compile is loaded in another parent .swf during execution.  If that parent .swf contains no fonts embedded, which is why it broke?  I'll try, but I just wanted to see if anyone can give some advice for troubleshooting.

    Thank you for your time and help!

    Yes.   the main swf file must incorporate this policy.

  • Turn off the text field (always submits page when you press enter)

    I have an area which allows you to enter search criteria. There are two fields and a button. The 1st field is a selection list that gives a list of columns in a database that can be searched on. The 2nd field is where the user enters the value to search for. The user can submit the search in 2 ways. They can press the button or press return when the cursor is in the 2nd item that is a text field (always submits page when you press enter). The results are then displayed in a region of report below.

    The problem I have, is that if the request is for > 10 seconds and the user gets impatient and hits the Enter key or the button search again the query is returned for a second time (or third or fourth according to the impatience of the user) causing the claim on the basis of data with a negative impact on the performance of the system.

    I know how to handle the search key. On a click event on I turn off the button so that the user cannot click on it again and resubmit the request.

    My question is - how can I turn off "always provides a page when you press enter" text item when the user presses enter? I tried an onclick event, but disabled the front element I could type in anything. Onblur event does not seem to do anything.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all, one thing to try: attributes of the Page, there is a section for the presentation in double - try setting this option on no.

    Otherwise, using the text field type, adds the following to the INPUT tag:

    onkeypress="return submitEnter(this,event)"
    

    which means, you can call your own function of javascript on the onkeypress event, the final line would be call submitEnter(). But you can set the value of a hidden page element:

    function doEnter(t, e)
    {
     if ($x('P1_SEARCH_RUNNING').value == 0)
     {
      $x('P1_SEARCH_RUNNING').value = 1;
      return submitEnter(t, e);
     }
     else
     {
      return false;
     }
    }
    

    Then, after changing your element to an element of normal text on the attributes of HTML form elements, add in:

    onkeypress="return doEnter(this,event)"

  • Change to the text field selection list

    Hi guys,.

    How can I create a dynamic action at random an element to the list of selection in the text field?

    I use a group of buttons radio with two options: YES and no.

    I don't want to not create two items because I'm using the same database column.

    The error message indicates that there is more than one item referring to the same column name. Follow the instructions given above for only a single and invisible element is related to the database column. Shadow points that actually appear in the user interface must not be bound to the database column, but get their initial value of this article, and conditional calculations should be used to copy the input value in the user interface elements for the element to a database column.

    In this case, you can only change the properties of the text selected within a field. Acrobat Reader cannot change the properties of the text field.

  • Tips: APEX 5 r IR by a dynamic action after the text fields complete

    Hello I hope I can get assistance on this matter and thank you in advance for any information.

    I have an APEX 5 screen, that has 4 fields of entry of text and under this one IR that has these 4 parameters in its SQL where clauses.

    Now if I create a button that submits page or redirects to this page my report can be updated with the values of user entered without problem, basic stuff.  If I create the settings section as a dialog box model once again that I can get the update report as this dialogue submits the page as well as the report can refresh according to closed dialog option.

    What I struggle to reach is to allow the user to enter values in the text fields click on a button called 'submit' and there all stages of implementing dynamic action without page reloading.  I want user to P1_A, P1_B, P1_C, P1_D press on "submit" input, dynamic action that links the values entered into the fields, then fire another dynamic action that updates the State when the button is clicked / modified values what works the best.

    I am struggling to get this to work and I even tried to copy these settings and do them as hidden for example bind input P1_A to P1_A_Hidden by a dynamic action and have the report where clause =: P1_A_HIDDEN, but have not managed to get this working.

    It's possible?  I know its easy to simply send the page and make it work, but I want the experience to be quite uniform for the user and act as you never leave the page.

    I saw on the packages of the app in the chart example.  The bubble chart has a list selector (salary) and the table updates dynamically, it seems so that the process can occur, but I need the user to enter text and not use selection lists.

    My apologies if I missed any, but I can give you more if it helps.

  • Dynamic Actions disable button based on the text field

    Hello

    Sorry if this has already been asked but I checked and could not find a job.

    «I'm trying to disable / enable a button "view" among the elements of this region from if a text field has a value or.»  I created a dynamic action for this but its not working only partially.  I can get the button to be disabled or enabled when I leave the text field, but what I'm trying to do is to get the State of button to change as soon as I start to type in the text field or return to people with disabilities if the text is deleted.

    I don't know that I'm missing something simple and help you can give is greatly appreciated.

    I use APEX 4.1 and that's how I got the dynamic action implementation, I tried different but no event types to give them action I want.

    I also install an example (details below)

    Event - change

    Selection type - point

    Article (s) - P1_TEXT

    Condition - is null

    Real Action

    Action - disable

    Fires when the result of the event is - real

    Fire on the loading of the Page - Y

    Items affected - button

    Article (s) - P1_BUTTON

    Action of false

    Action - Enable

    Fires when the result of the event is - fake

    Fire on the loading of the Page - Y

    Items affected - button

    Article (s) - P1_BUTTON
