Text field - number format problem

• Text field display [formatted] data date - different entry form.

  It is probubly simple but thanks for any help.  My client wants to text fields as they find tedious date drop-downs for its shape.  As a result, I formatted the field to display the date as he asked mmm / d.  Regardless of how the user inserts the date, it is displayed as well as the customer wants.

  The problem I am facing is that when I call data for the calculations it send information in the format it was entered rather then displayed.

  For example, a user can enter

  1-1 and it would show [Jan / 1] in the field, but returns a string value (1-1) with this.getField.  User can enter 01 jan, jan 1, jan - 1, 1-01, 01-01, ect. and it would all read correctly in the text formatted field.

  I wrote a simple script to convert the month in days but it won't work unless the information is returned in the same way, it is displayed.  Y at - it an easier way to convert a date text field into a variable [day of the year] regardless of how the data has been entered. (without drop downs).

  Please and thanks for any help.

  To get a date that you can use, use the util.scand method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.1260.html

  With no information of the year, it will give the current year. You'll be able to get the day and the month as and use however desired. Note that Acrobat/Reader will not let you enter an invalid date (for example, February 30) when the field is formatted as a date, if it's not a matter of concern.

• How to set the text field for the credit card number?

  Hi, this seems like it should be a no-brainer in the Properties menu, but what is the best way to add a credit card number to a form?

  I have mine set up like a text field > category format: number > decimal: 0 > Style separator: (by default with the comma, but not what I want, of course)

  and the symbol > No.

  Is there an easy way to create 16 character space to the digits of the credit card?

  Thanks in advance

  Under Format, select special, then arbitrary mask and enter the mask: 9999 9999 9999 9999

• Number format not valid in the data transfer Assistant

  I'm trying to download data from a CSV file in a table via the download data wizard. However, it always seems to fail on some lines with an error "invalid number format". Even if I stick one of these lines in the wizard, it still does not work. There is nothing wrong with the data, and I can do a regular insert Toad with no problems.
  
  The data are:
  28126238,101, RM, 29/01/2011
  
  The table looks like this:
  CREATE TABLE STR_PROD_UPLOAD
  (
  NUMBER OF PROD_CD,
  NUMBER OF STORE_CD
  CHARACTER VARCHAR2 (10 BYTE),
  DATE OF REPL_START_DT
  )
  
  It works very well on Toad:
  INSERT INTO STR_PROD_UPLOAD)
  STORE_CD,
  PROD_CD, line, repl_start_dt)
  VALUES (to_number('101'), to_number('28126238'), 'RM', to_date('1/29/2011','MM/DD/YYYY'));
  
  Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong or how I can go about the matter of finding?
  
  FYI - evolution STORE_CD of a varchar2 and PROD_CD solves the problem, but I would like to know if it is possible to solve this problem for later use.
  
  Thx John

  Hi John,.

  For some reason, I get the same error. However with the download of the data, you can still provide you own number format in the case where the application could not a defined automatically. In your case, using Date / field number Format (for example: 99999999) will force the system to use the supplied format.

• Text fields and number 0 problem

  Hello.

  I have very strange problem and I hope someone could help me.

  I have the button group to 7 Coachman, named "group". Each box has its own value for export. (- 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3). Then I have a text field, named "polje" where the selected value is displayed. If the user check the box with the value of exports 3... text field display number 3 and so on. I get this with this script:

  getField("polje").value = this.getField("group").value;

  So far, everything works perfectly. Now... problem. I have an another textfield, named "procent. Its mission is to show the additional text of specific value.

  If the "polje" field indicating the value 1, 'this' textfield should display "30%", if the value is 2 then "60%"...and so forth.» Everything works fine... only with 0... .then textfield stay empty but it should display '0% '. I don't know why.

  The script I use:

  var p = this.getField("polje").value;

  Si (p == « ») {}

  Event.Value = "";

  }

  Else if (p == 0) {}

  Event.Value = "(0%)" » ;

  }

  Else if (p == 1) {}

  Event.Value = "(30-40 %)" » ;

  }

  Else if (p == 2) {}

  Event.Value = "(60-70 %)" » ;

  }

  Else if (p == 3) {}

  Event.Value = "(90-100 %)" » ;

  }

  Else if (p ==-1) {}

  Event.Value = "(-30-40 %)" » ;

  }

  Else if (p ==-2) {}

  Event.Value = "(-60-70 %)" » ;

  }

  Else if (p ==-3) {}

  Event.Value = "(-90-100 %)" » ;

  }

  Where I did something wrong?

  You should get the field values as strings and compares them to the strings, something like:

  var p = this.getField("polje").valueAsString;

  if (p === "") {

  Event.Value = "";

  }

  ElseIf (p = '0') {}

  Event.Value = "(0%)" » ;

  }

  ElseIf (p = '1') {}

  Event.Value = "(30-40 %)" » ;

  }

  ElseIf (p = '2') {}

  Event.Value = "(60-70 %)" » ;

  }

  ElseIf (p = '3') {}

  Event.Value = "(90-100 %)" » ;

  }

  ElseIf (p = '-1') {}

  Event.Value = "(-30-40 %)" » ;

  }

  ElseIf (p = "-2") {}

  Event.Value = "(-60-70 %)" » ;

  }

  ElseIf (p = '-3') {}

  Event.Value = "(-90-100 %)" » ;

• Check if the number in a text field will evaluate to a date format

  I have a field FieldA, which contains 6 numbers, (even if the field is a text field). I need to know if that evaluate the numbers from the field to a real date in MMDDYY format. For example, if FieldA contains 060110, which would evaluate then to a real date from 01/06/10. However, if FieldA contains 130110, so this isn't a valid date and the test will indicate accordingly. I was thinking about using a case statement, but unsure of how to test if the numbers are evaluated to a valid date...
  
  Sort of:

• Show on a text field, the number of times click us a Butoon

  Hi there... I did some work... and my teacher told me to do an exercise... but I wonder just for your opinion and help

  Here is that the problem... I managed to create a code to print text as soon as I click the butoon, here it is:

  botao.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mostrartexto);
  
  function mostrartexto(event:MouseEvent){
            caixadetexto.text = "Hi there World";
  }
  

  So the thing is now... that... instead display the text by clicking the botoon I need to click on the butoon and it must indicate the number of times where I clicked on the text field.

  That means... I click it will show me '1' or '1 click', '2' or ' ' clicks... and so on.

  So, if there is someone who could help me and explaing how... or if it is even possible

  Cordially ASilva

  use a variable to store the number of clicks of buttons:

  var botaoClickNum:int = 0;

  botao.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, mostrartexto);
  
  function mostrartexto(event:MouseEvent){botaoClickNum++;           caixadetexto.text = botaoClickNum.toString();
  }
  
  

• Text field formatting

  I just installed Adobe Standard 10 on my laptop and have a file that I used before on my desktop that contains text fields formatted as 'number '.  Additional text fields take this information and perform calculations based on the numeric values.  This does not work on my laptop, as it does on my desk.  There are global settings that I could check?  Even if the text boxes are in the number format, it's the treatment of the values as text.  Please provide ideas so you can...

  The two are not related. You will find the option repair on the Help menu.

• Custom Custom Format AND Date text field label

  I have created a form where I wanted each form field to have a label so that the user knows what to connect, BUT when I arrived at this day it became clear that I can only do one or the other, enter a name or select a date format, because they are both under the same category selection and you can choose only one. I found a previous discussion and was able to use the following code to label all the text fields and he also mentioned that an additional coding would be required to customize the date:

  Custom format for text field script

  If (! event.value) {}

  Event.Value = "enter meeting requested Date."

  Event.Target.Display = display.noPrint;

  } else {}

  Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

  }

  Now my problem is that in order to label the tabled text, I had to do a custom format, so I am unable to choose a custom date format. Instead of getting the error message when the format is wrong there at - it a way to make sure that no mater what type of date is connected, it is automatically reformatted to (mmmm dd, yyyy)?

  I don't know am new to the form of coding features and indeed if there is another way to lock it I would appreciate the help.

  Yes, it is possible... Basically you would use something like this as the custom for the field validation script:

  Event.RC = true;

  If {(event.value)

  var d = util.scand ("mm/dd/yyyy", event.value);

  If (d == null) {}

  App.Alert ("Invalid value.");

  Event.RC = false;

  } else {}

  Event.Value = util.printd ("mmmm dd, yyyy", d);

  Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

  }

  } else {}

  Event.Value = "enter meeting requested Date."

  Event.Target.Display = display.noPrint;

  }

  I have not tested, but I think he should do the trick.

• Problem to browse to files in the page with the text field with special characters

  Hello.
  I have a very interesting thing happening in my APEX (4.0.1) application.
  
  I have problems with a text field, because when I insert the text 'aaaaa' and send the page, the text is transformed in "Aaa£ aa.
  After some time trying to understand the game characters and translations and etc, I realized that this thing happened in some pages.
  
  Then, I started to remove components of the page where it happens and I discovered that what initially is an element to browse file...
  Every time I have send the page, if there is an element of browse file created on the page, the text is changed. If I delete the queue item browse, when submitting the page, the text remains correct.
  
  Is it supposed to work like this? And if yes, why is it?

• iOS text field problem.

  I need the user to enter a Word, so I added a simple text field to the stage. However, it behaves strangely on the real device (iPod Touch). Attached are two screenshots that show how the font size increases when the input is activated. Everyone knows about this problem?

  Hello

  I think that you have specified a textFormat to text. You must add the following

  Assuming that this is the format

  var txtFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

  txtFormat.size = 20;

  T1 = new TextField();

  T1.defaultTextFormat = txtFormat;

  Apply the default text format that we just put in the text that is already in the text field ('g')

  Otherwise the default text format apply to * new * text * typed * in the text field!

  Without this, the original text in text fields ('g') will use the default value for a

  Flash text (Times New Roman 12pt), rather than the defaultTextFormat (Times New Roman 20pt) field.

  T1.setTextFormat (T1.defaultTextFormat);

  addChild (t1);

  This affects any existing text in the text field in the specified format (making it the same as the default value). Now, when the text field is rendered first uses the default format that you set, and when you type also uses this same format, and so the format is no longer able to change.

  I hope this helps.

• Plan format digital... in a large text field.

  Howdy...

  Is there anyway to have a number describe format in a large text field automatically?

  JEM like in Word:

  1.           Deliverables

  1.1.     Video

  1.1.1.      xxxxxxxxxxxx

  1.1.1.1x

  1.2.     Audio

  1.2.1.      xxxxxxxxxxxx

  1.2.1.1x

  1.3.     Control

  1.3.1.      xxxxxxxxxxxx

  1.3.1.1x

  Basically, what I need is a form with a section for the text of the entry by the user, in a hierarchical format. This section would essentially be a large text field, which should be able to expand to as many pages as you need.   

  The issue is the format of digital plan. Any way to do this? (other than to have the user manually format and tab).

  Thank you

• Custom for Lat/Long text field format

  I am new to the creation of PDF files and did not JavaScript for 10 years.

  I was hoping that someone would be able to provide the custom format script required format a text field for Lat/Long in DMS (e.g. 70 ° 12' 34 "W).

  Short, someone at - it a custom format script I could go and change?

  Thanks in advance!

  Try calling the function shown below in the latitude or custom Format script longitude field. This function is intended to be placed in the form of script at the level of the document.

  As a custom Format to the text box script, use the following:

  For Longitude field

  dd_to_dms (true);

  -OR-

  For Latitude field

  dd_to_dms (false);

  I was liberal with the comments in the hope of equivocation. What I have not done is a kind of data validation. The field entry is supposed to be a number that makes sense (for example, to +/-180 for longitude, +/-90 for latitude). You can add a custom script to strike to limit the entry of a number and a Validation script to check its value. He rounds as second to the second, but this could be changed if you need fractional part for seconds. Post again if you have any questions.

  function dd_to_dms (isLong) {}

  Custom Format script for text acroform field
  Convert lat/long values from decimal to degrees, Minutes, seconds
  ' DDD.dddd-> () [DD] D [M] I S [S] "N | S | E | W
  isLong: latitude, longitude = true = false

  Field blank if no entry
  If (! event.value) {}
  Event.Value = "";
  return;
  }

  Get the field as a number entry
  var val = + event.value;

  var cd, t, degrees, minutes, seconds;

  Determine what cardinal to display
  If (isLong) {}
  CD = (val< 0)="" "w"="" :="">
  } else {}
  CD = (val< 0)="" "s"="" :="">
  }

  To make the number positive
  Val = Math.abs (val);

  degrees = part of the input value
  degrees = val | 0;

  Download fractional part
  t = val 1.0%;

  minutes = fully part of (fractional part * 60)
  t = t * 60;
  minutes = t | 0;

  seconds = fully part of (the fractional part of previous * 60)
  t = t % 1.0;
  seconds = (t * 60) | 0;

  Display in the field
  Event.Value = degrees + '\u00b0' + minutes + "'"+ seconds + "\" "+ cd;»
  }

• Text Format problem

  Hi all

  I am building an application in AS3, but I'm the problem in text formats.

  I'm sure that's not a big problem., but I'm new so can not make sense for him.

  I have three text fields of type entry in my application, where when I type it show preview on the right side in the other fields of text in real-time using earphone Event.CHANGE. Now I have to apply the format on all separately three fields. (Bold, italic, size etc.). But when I use it to make "BOLD" using the "BOLD" button, the text in all three text fields change to "BOLD" at once.

  What I need is to apply the format of separately for each field using a "BOLD" text, Italic button etc.  The format will apply the last text field edited or by selecting the text field in the preview and change its formula.

  Here's the best example if formats the text I want.

  I hope that the experts will understand and can give me suggestions.

  Here is the code example, what I'm doing...

  Its share of demand.

  Import fl.controls.Button;

  var txtF1:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  var txtF2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
  var txtF3:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

  var preview3:TextField = new TextField();

  function previewfirst(e:Event):void
  {
  Tf1.text = Preview1.text;
  Preview1.x = tf1.x + tf1.width + 20;
  Preview1.y = tf1.y;

  }

  
  TF1.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, previewfirst);

  Yes, that's the reason. Change:

  this["tf" + i].addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onTextChange);
  

  And so on.
