Test whether the text box is empty - tip action

Hello

I have a form that the user is required to fill out. When the user tries to advance to the next slide, I would test to check that none of the text boxes are empty.

Ideally something like;

If ((Textbox1) == null) {}

See the legend of failure

} else {}

continue

}

I know you can use advanced actions but I'm unable to set the null value. I even tried to create a new variable and leave empty and tests textbox against that, but apparently not worked either.

I'm probably missing something simple as I am very new to Captivate.

Is it possible to submit the code of the advances in stocks using AS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Tim

Hello!

I had the same problem.

The user must enter his name.

I preset the variable of the text using the feature box "what would happen if you reach this slide." You can find it if you double-click the slide with your text box, and then find the area of "navigation". I have a German version of the A4 the names of functions differ...

Declare the variable of your text box we'll say "ABC123".

With a collateral action, you can check if the text inside the variable passed as ABC123 to something else:

If

variable_name is not equal to ABC123

then

...

on the other

...

If the variable is always ABC123 I jump to another slide with an error message.

An example, which you can find here:

  • Read the text box.

    Hello

    I have no experience with custom or even Javascript actions, so, my request is probably a very easy to solve, I had no idea on how to achieve this.

    Basically, I have a slide in this slide, I have a text box (slide 1). I have another slide with a text box (slide 2). I would like to have the text box on the slide 2 to have the same exact text in the text box in slide 1. If I change the text in the text box on the slide 1, the other text box would inherit the text thereof.

    TLDR; How to set the area text 2 to have the same text as 1 text box in a tip action. Practically ' box 2 == the text box 1.

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I forgot to add, I am using Captivate 4.

    Hello, I'm not sure I understand your question straight, please could you give more details: something to do with the terminology. You talk about 'text areas' but in Captivate, there is text (added by the creator of the film) captions and text entry areas (where the user of the published movie will insert text).

    If you want the user to type text in a BER (text entry area) of slide 1 and have this entry on slide 2 in a text caption, you can do this:

    • Create a variable user (projects, Actions, the tab variable), e.g. vTekst (you are Dutch-speaking)?
    • create the TEB on slide 1 and associate it to the variable (in properties, Advanced tab)
    • on slide 2 create the text caption, select Variable to add to the formatting toolbar and add the created variable
    • which edition you will have the same text in the text of the legend (slide 2) car was introduced by the user via the TEB on slide 1.

    If you were talking about the legends of text on both blades, there is no simple way in CP (in Flash) to have an object (in this case the text of the legend) remaining for two slides, the only options are for the duration of the slide or project. But you can of course easily copy and paste the text in the legend.

  • Automatically put the cursor in the text box to start

    Hi guys

    On the picture below you can see a small piece of my FP. It is a part of a bigger FP for a pretty huge electronics test. Each PCB got its own series number of barcode. I have a drive that is connected to my keyboard. Then when I read the code bar, numbers will appear in the text box on my FP, IF i first click on the text box. Then the user must only press START to do the test. My problem, or wish, if you like, is that when the program starts, or a test has completed, the cursor/marker is placed in the text box, so I just have to read bar codes.

    Currently, the user must click in the text box before you read the code bar. Is it possible that this can be done by Labview?

    I n node property checked yet, because I'm busy to something else right now at work. Just write in my break.

    Thanks for any help!

    PS I would have found the answer in the forum, but I am from Norway, and not all of the language of the computer is easy to translate since I use windows Norwegians. I belive that it is called cursor or marker however.

  • How to make a 'active' phone number in the text box?

    I'm testing in 10.1 and 10.2, using the following QML simulators.  What I'm trying to understand is that 'rules' the text box used to set the active text, including phone numbers.  All I'm trying to do is to put a phone number in the text box that my users the opportunity to click on it to the phone.  But I can't make it work, or more exactly, may not get the phone number to become active.  .

    As you can see that I tried a variety of number formats, some specific UK because I was afraid that he may use country specific recognition, but nothing I try works.

    On the other hand the address which I also put in the TextArea is 'hot' and started the map.

    FYI, the client is running in Canada on Q10s using 10.1.  The numbers are also completely fictitious, if they work, then that is a stroke of luck.

    Hi Steven,

    I think the main thing that was missing was adding the elements used in the PL/SQL "Page to go".

    The reason this is necessary is so APEX know what values of point on the browser should be sent (as part of the AJAX call) to the browser.

    IF you had all the elements that must be returned to the screen, then you will use the 'Page field items to return.

    I've also corrected a few things, P6 instead of P6 and P6_SEARCH_TYPE instead of SEARCH_TYPE, but they were just small "bugs" in the example.

    I also added another real action to refresh the report after the update.

    Thank you

  • Width of the text box

    Hello

    I am eager to find the width of a text box and if it is longer than say 200 pixels, decrement the (points) by one font size until the width of the text box is less than 200 pixels. I guess I'm going to need some form of loop here but I have problems with this.

    I have not included all my code just the important parts.

    TextItem.Size = 50

    TextItem.Kind = 2 (for me to find the width)

    Var TextWidth = TextItem.Width

    Now my thoughts for the loop are...

    While TextWidth > 200

    TextItem.Size-= 1

    TextWidth = TextItem.Width

    End while

    I'm not the best programmer so don't know if the loop is just fine but my idea is that, while the width of the text box is greater than 200, reduced by one font size, find the new width of the text box, then if it's still higher than 200, repeat the process until it is less.

    Is the part that I seem to have a problem with the "'TextWidth = TextItem.Width ' inside the while loop." Tests, I know that when the width of text box is greater than 200 pixels, correctly enter in the loop, decreases the font size, BUT I can't seem to find the new width of the text box. Instead, it seems to be still using the original value for the width and therefore without end of the loop.

    Can someone tell me please in the direction where I'm wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    This code looks like VBS (or some other flavor of VB). If VBS works in the same way javascript, change the size of the text will not change the width of the text box.

    There are two types of text layers, point and paragraph text. The width property is applicable to the text of the paragraph but corresponds to the width of the bounding box of the text, not the width of the text itself.

    You should be able to get the width of the text of the bounds of the text layer property.

  • I need a script to count all the text boxes on a form

    I created our organizational structure in Livecycle Designer.  (It doesn't "do" anything, it is just a flat document without subforms, checkboxes, etc.).

    Name of the employee is in a text box.  The text boxes are all named in the same way, starting with the word 'Employee' followed by the name of the employee.  For example, "EmployeeJohnDoe" "EmployeeJaneSmith" etc.

    I need to keep a number of our existing employees and so I need a script that is taken into account in all areas of text named "EmployeeXX".  The answer may go into a text field.

    Thanks in advance!

    Yes,

    The missing point was my bad.

    What do you mean text boxes? If you are referring to text (as opposed to the TextField objects) objects, then you would test against a class name 'draw' and a name "employee".

  • Gray out or disable the text box

    Hello

    I have a drop-down list called CN_Entry_Initials with options of a "C" or a "N". I also called Part_Number to enter a part number in a text box. I want the text box part number be grayed out or disabled until a "C" or an "N" was chosen out of the CN_Entry_Initials of the menu drop down. I have this operation, except that I can't add it to almost anything. I think it's something to do with the way in which I have if statement for this disabled text box, or do I have to change the touch of a button "submit it". Does anyone know how to fix this? Below is the javascript and the drop down menu code menu and the text of the box as well as to add it or submit button. There are additional stuff in Javascript I have on the page, but I don't need to worry about those things because they do not work properly. I have the code text box disabled in the upper part of the javascript in the verify() function code. Thank you.

    Seems that the braces "{" Javascript function are incorrect, the audit function performs only the feature of toggling the Part_Number text box which is the reason why the alert function worked when you added it in here.

    What you can do is to create a separate function which just active / disable the Part_Number text box and add it to the onchange event of the area of selection.

  • How the text box will automatically solve a margin decline (manuscript Prep)

    I'm trying to prepare a manuscript for self-publishing (what have I got myself?) and hit another wall.  After setting the margin of the 200 page manuscript (all 200 pages imported from MS Word doc as a text image area), I decided that I needed the smaller margins.  After that, I noticed that the words/text box has not been changed accordingly: the words overlap the new margins.  As a notice of InDesign/stupid, I can't understand a how do I get the text box to fit new, smaller margins of pages at the same time (and I believe there is a better way to manually edit each page individually).

    Advisor?  Any help appreciated.

    Cancellation: If you know a manuscript InDesign (subject doesn't matter) which is in the public domain, I'd like to have the link/location.  I could learn a lot from an example of 'real '.  Thanks in advance.

    If the document is not sufficiently complex already make a new document 1 page with correct and verified margins "master text frame. Taking command or control and passage click on the margin to release your text block. Empty all your text in the image. It will automatically add pages as needed and adjustments as it will be a snap. To work with InDesign, the way sounds are that you will pay with impatience.

  • 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

    < / 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?
