I was wondering if someone can give me a general guideline or example for the following. I have created a form with several input box fields. When a user inputs something, the field highlights it orange. When a user goes to another field, the highlight goes away and the new box gets highlighted. When the user hits "save" button, the form gets saved. When the user hits "modify" button, it allows them to change the values in the fields. However, this time I would like to have the highlighted box stay highlighted on all the fields that have been changed (and obviously the fields that are not touched remain not highlighted). Is there anyway someone can send me a tutorial or create a quick example to demonstrate this? I am using Angular 1.5 and used Bootstrap to create a simple form.
Thank you
You Can use $touched property to know whether user clicked on that particular form field.
Ex:
custFrom.inputName.$touched
To know actual value modification use $dirty in the same way
Ex:
custFrom.inputName.$dirty
Please find working plunker

I would like to preset an HTML page that has list box (scrollable) that is connected to an edit field. Every time the edit field is updated the list box should show only the items that match the text pattern in the edit field.
Am sure it's possible but not even sure what it's called and all my Google attempts have failed.
Thanks
For anyone who comes across this same question, the term that I was looking for was "creating an autocomplete form."
I have a MS Access form that is bound to a query in the database. I added a textbox and added a row source to a Hyperlink datafield in the query. When I open the form, it won't allow me to drop a file into the textbox.
Here's the deal. When I follow this EXACT same process on a new form, it works perfectly. That is, I open a blank form and I bind the form to some new query, let's say qryNewIdeas. Then on the blank form i add a textbox, let's say Text0. Then, when I select Text0, I go to the data tab - row source and choose the dropdown arrow to select the hyperlink field, lets say NewIdeasAddress. I click SAVE and open the form. It works PERFECTLY.
BUT, when I repeat this on an existing form (the one where I need the thing to actually work), it does nothing. It adds and changes the textbox to a hyperlink box (I note this because of the blue underlined word that appears in the box). But it won't allow me to drop files to this location.
I tried commenting out ALL of my VBA code to try to make sure that something wasn't hindering it (say in an OnLoad event) AND I've checked all of the form and control box properties and they seem to be the same in both the existing form and the test form.
I can't determine why it works on one form and not the other; Solution needed.
If you have access to "the data tab - row source ..", you are in design view.
When you later open the form, you are in form view, a completely different animal which specifically prohibits design changes.
It sounds like you will have to rethink your concept.
I am creating a page and the page has an editable data grid (I'm actually using jqgrid). The user can add, delete, and edit the rows of the grid. There are also some other form fields on this page such as text boxes and drop downs, but they are not part of the grid.
From a usability perspective which of the options do you think is best and why?
User manages the grid separately from the rest of the page. This means that there is a save button on the grid. So the user can save a grid row to the db without clicking the submit button. When the submit button gets clicked, the non-grid form fields get sent to the server.
user manages grid and other fields dependent upon each other. This is like an "Everything or nothing scenario." When you click the submit button, all of the form fields get submitted an saved the db along with the grid fields. If there is a validation error, nothing gets saved.
If there is a better way to handle this type of situation that I did not list, please let me know.
What I was thinking when I was in a similar situation, is how important it's that the user fills the other form fields. If they are optional and the grid is more important I would have the submit button in the grid but if I want the user to fill all the fields, the button should be at the end. In the case where the button saves the whole form, you can have a type of warning if the user skips some fields or you can have a deactivated button.
The second thing I thought was the height of the page. If the button hides 'above the fold' there is a high posibility that some users won't see it and the data won't be saved. So in that case, maybe you should have it in the grid. I would check analytics about screen resolutions.
I am a beginner at Microsoft Access trying to creating a database and one of the fields is a memo field. I would like to request user input for that field; However, the standard inputbox has a single line for the user to enter data, and although you can use that to add large amounts of text, it is not pleasing.
I want an inputbox that accepts memos so as the user inputs a paragraph of text, he can see the entire paragraph when he submits.
How would I do it using an inputbox and not a form? Is this possible?
I am guessing you are entering the data directly into the table. If so you can simply hover over a line between two rows until you get the double arrows and click and drag. When closing the table it will ask you if you want to save your changes. if you say yes then every time after that it will appear the same when when opened. This will give you more viewing area per field. However, I do agree with HansUp, this is best controlled via a form. Here is a snapshot of a table with more room per row.
The same can be done with query results.
I am currently working on making my Flex application accessible.
I have an mx DataGrid that I am using for showing complex data. Each row contains information about a person and one of the columns contains a button to "submit" that person's information.
Currently if I tab to the DataGrid, it has focus on the whole thing, but I cannot tab to individual cells. For accessibility purposes, I need the user to be able to tab to each of these cells to read the information. Everywhere I've looked I've found that it seems the only way to focus on an individual cell is to set the editable property to true. However, I do not want to make the field editable, as that information should not be changed.
At the very least I would like to be able to tab to the cell that has the button ItemRendender for each person. I could set the rest of the information in the accessibilityName of that.
Is there any way to accomplish this? Or am I going to have to find a more "creative" solution?
In case anyone is wondering how to get around this, the only way I could find is to switch over to an AdvancedDataGrid. If you set the ADG's selectable property to true, you can use the arrow keys to select a whole row at a time, and the screen reader will read the whole row of information.
Then to get the effect of clicking the row's button, I set a keyboard event watcher that performs the function of the button using the target(ADG)'s selected item when you press space.
