I'm using the same class today, based on http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/countdown-in-style-with-an-airport-terminal-timer--active-4056, but when change values, if different of zero, the number does not show. How can I access t_num and change them from the root?
I have 16 instances: Digit0, Digit1, Digit2, etc...
Every second, I verified a value and change then (if necessary)... using this code below:
if (var1!= this['digit15'].number){
this['digit15'].flipTo(var1);
}
In my stage, here is the path:
stage.root1.digit14.bottom2.t_num
Only works when var1 = 0
#CuddleBunny answer works fine.
If 0 is the only text in your field when you compile and other values do not appear dynamically, you may need to embed the font. – CuddleBunny yesterday

//#version=5
tspy = 60
blue = color.new(color.blue,tspy)
now when this following code executes many lines below/later:
tspy := 0
plot(rsi, title='bullish', color=blue)
As would be expected this does not change the transparency of variable blue by itself, obviously I can put blue := color.new(color.blue,0), but that is not ideal.
Is there a type of variable that is dynamic and will update itself whenever a variable contained within it changes, rather than having to manually re-execute the variables expression?
I have also tried setting the colours into a "function" call, but this seems to get complicated and causes more problems and code than just reentering/duplicating the original code. This may seem trivial, but it has a much wider importance and use case in more complex coding than this particular example.
Why not use a function?
//#version=5
indicator("My Script")
get_color(transp) => color.new(color.blue, transp)
plot(series=1, color=get_color(100))
plot(series=2, color=get_color(80))
plot(series=3, color=get_color(60))
plot(series=4, color=get_color(40))
plot(series=5, color=get_color(20))
I'm using Report Builder 3.0. Long story short, I want to make the font bold for the text in the red box that you see in the image below:
Basically, it's just one expression in the legend field of my value, however, for clarity's sake (for my end users) I wish to make the "title part" bold. I found the following solution for textboxes in a tablix using Html by checking off the "HTML – Interpret HTML tags as styles." checkbox within the Textbox's properties. (http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2010/10/31/using-different-formats-within-a-single-textbox-in-ssrs.html)
However, I can't find anything similar for graphs! I mean if MS thought about it for tables, I presume they must've given it some thought for a chart setting too.
Thanks to all!
p.s. As an aesthetic solution to my problem, I did think of simply creating a new title field, moving it to the exact same location and formating it. But I'm surious whether there'd be some more "proper" way of doing this.
I'm using the same approach for one of my charts.
STEPS.
Select the Chart series to open property pane. In my case, the chart series name is TWR Chart Series
Select the color property and select to build the expression.
I'm posting one of my expression. You can build your own expression base don your field names etc.
=IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 1 OR Fields!ProductID.Value = 6,"#00425E",
IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 3 ,"#6B8797",
IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 5 OR Fields!ProductID.Value = 7,"#799179",
IIF(Fields!ProductID.Value = 4 AND Fields!sort.Value=99,"#6bb1be","#48597B"))))
If used sensibly, you should get your desired results.Good luck.
Firefox seems to submit input fields of type number as decimals independant of its visible value (e.g.: visible value: 1, real value/posted data: 1.0).
My backend cannot handle it as it expects an integer.
But I still want to use the number type as it handles the keyboard layout on mobile devices.
I already tried to set the step attribute to 1 (which is default anyway).
Sorry, but you are stuck with this way of formatting number fields if you want to keep using that type of control.
What you can do is create a hidden input that is updated when the number input field changes. You can format the value you put in there the way you like to.
So in short, the best thing is to get your backend straight, but that might be out of your hands. Else you can use the workaround provided.
Well actually it’s not a bug; the form field is behaving as defined by the W3C.
Numeric input fields can take additional attributes “min” and “step”, which constrain the range of values allowed in your input.
This is because the default step is 1. So far, so obvious.
However, the step attribute also determines which values are valid, so a step of 1 means you can enter 1, 2, 3 etc. and a step of 2 means you can enter 2, 4, 6 etc, and when you click the up/down buttons the number will increase/decrease by 2 each time, but entering 3 or 5 in the box will cause a validation error. You can also use a decimal value: for example, a step of 0.3 will allow values such as 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 etc, but not 1 or 2.
I was completely wrong. I filled the input from my backend and it was a double value. When using the type integer it only submits "1".
I have a mobile app built in as3/air for mobile devices and I am wondering what the best approach to handle textinput fields are.
What I mean is I have multiple input fields on multiple screens. The inputs have a label (textfield), background color under the label (quad) and an input (textinput). Some are password, some are not. Some are different width/heights, multi-line/single line etc. All however use embedded fonts, have a name and ID assigned etc.
I have created a class file that extends Sprite and built all the components of the textinput (textfield, quad, textinput) so my other classes/screens can just create a new instance of this class passing custom values.
var textField:TextFieldClass = new TextFieldClass();
textField.DrawTextField(name, ID, width, height, isPassword, hasLabel, labelPosition etc);
The above works great. I can reuse the class to draw multiple textinput on screen with minimal code however I am having trouble getting the text value/ID/name when there are multiple instances.
I have tried adding each textField instance into an array and iterating through but that gets x number of the last textField instance e.g. if first instance is named txtEmail and the second is txtPassword, I get 2 txtPasswords.
I have also tried getChildByName and specifying the name of the textinput but when I use txtEmail I get a cannot access null value but txtPassword works.
Maybe I am going about this wrong so happy to use a better approach if one exists (which I am sure there is). Basically I would like to have a reusable textinput class that allows custom design (quads, fonts etc) without having to copy paste the entire textinput code for each new input field.
Thanks
One of the many quirks of Reporting Services we've run across is the complete and utter lack of a CheckBox control or even something remotely similar.
We have a form that should appear automatically filled out based on information pulled from a database. We have several bit datatype fields. Printing out "True" or "False" just looks silly, as this is supposed to look like a form that has been auto-filled out, so we want to have a series of checkboxes and labels that are either checked or unchecked.
We are running SSRS 2005 but I'm not aware of SSRS 2008 having added a CheckBox control. Even if it did, we'd need to have an alternative for the time being. The best we've found so far is:
use Wingdings
use images
use text boxes with borders and print a blank/space or a capital X
All three approaches require IIF expression shenanigans.
The Wingdings approach seemed to work acceptably, and was the most aesthetically pleasing except that for whatever reason it didn't always print correctly. More importantly, PDF exports, also for whatever reason, converted all fonts (generally) to Arial and so we got funky letters instead of the Windings dingbats.
Images, being a pixel-based raster, don't do so well when printed along side vector stuff like text. Unless handled carefully, they tend to stretch, pixelate, and do other unprofessional looking things.
While these methods do work (some with limitations as mentioned above) none of them are particularly elegant.
Are we missing something obvious? Not so obvious? Does someone at Microsoft have a good reason why such a control was not provided in SSRS 2000, let alone 2 versions and 8 years later? This can't be the first time this issue has come up...
I, along with others in my shop, have used images, toggling the hidden attribute based on the field value (true or false). We haven't had any problems with blurring or scaling, unless we tried to increase the scale of the image beyond 100% obviously.
Another option I've used is similar to the wingdings idea, but I just use a plain old "X". On our forms at least, it is not uncommon for someone to use an X in a box instead of a check mark, so it looks completely acceptable. Plus, you don't have to worry about strange characters when printing.
As for why Microsoft does not include a checkbox control, I can't answer that as I've been wondering the same thing myself for a long time now.
I just wanna share the idea on this blog. SSRS: How to Display Checkbox on Report
First create a textbox
Then change the font family to Wingdings
Insert an expression on the textbox and write this expressions.
=IIF(Fields!Active.Value,chr(254),"o")
Fields!Active.Value could be anything from your query that should return a boolean value 1 or 0.
Then click Preview and see the checkbox ;)
More styles can be selected on the blog that I shared above.
Here is an example of my output
What I have used to display a check box (or ballot box):
1- create textbox (that will become your check box)
2- change font to Arial Unicode MS
3- in the expression window use:
ChrW(&H2611) for a filled-in checkbox
ChrW(&H2610) for an empty checkbox
Besides the different methods already presented, as of SQL Server 2008 R2 there's a built-in control that can be used for checkbox-alike functionality: the Indicator!
Have a look here for details on how to use it: https://web.archive.org/web/20190916105459/http://blog.hoegaerden.be/2012/08/04/displaying-checkboxes-in-an-ssrs-report/
To be able to use a field of type bit, you'll have to cast it to int first. This can be done either in the dataset query or by adding a calculated field to the dataset.
If you want the NULLs to come up as yellow, then you'll need to build the expression that way so it takes that requirement into account as well.
Here's a possible expression for a calculated field:
=Switch(
IsNothing(Fields!YourBoolean.Value), 50,
Fields!YourBoolean.Value = False, 0,
Fields!YourBoolean.Value = True, 100)
Depending on the meaning of your fields - is False good or bad - you may need to swap the zero and 100.
Another way to do thisd is go to "Placeholder properties" of TextBox and check Html - Interpret HTML tag as styles
Then in the Value - Expression put this line of code for checked:
="<font face=""Wingdings 2"" color=""green"">" & Chr(81) &"</font>" & "some other text"
Or this code sample for unchecked:
="<font face=""Wingdings 2"" color=""red"">" & Chr(163) &"</font>" & "some other text"
This way you can have checkbox and text in the same textbox.
Later edit:
If you are having problem displaying Wingdings 2 on Azure, then use Wingdings.
Apparently it works.
="<font face=""Wingdings"" color=""green"">" & Chr(253) &"</font>" & "some other text"
Or this code sample for unchecked:
="<font face=""Wingdings"" color=""red"">" & Chr(168) &"</font>" & "some other text"
You can also use a string calculated field like "[X]" or "[ ]". It's less pretty than the textbox with border but you don't have to put a specific control for the value and you can fill table or matrix with this.
At least there is some solution for the checkbox. I'm still looking for full justification for my text (In fact I'm looking for another solution than SSRS know).
ACCESS 97 could make this kind of thing but not SQL SERVER 2012.
I think there is a bug with SSRS and embedding font characters above 128 (some thing todo with ANSI encoding). Basically you can use 1-128 fine, the rest show up as tall rectangular blocks.
I like NY's idea of the textbox with a border and an optional X - this sounds simple and effective.
This is building on Dragos Durlut's answer. I don't have a high enough reputation to comment but I can answer...
I needed a checkbox as part of text that is passed as a parameter. The parameter contains HTML and is used in a placeholder set up just like Dragos suggests: HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles.
Instead of having to switch between the HTML and the strings, you can use the HTML Escape Codes (& + # + CharCode + ; --> ¨)
="<font face='Wingdings'>¨</font> Empty checkbox"
Since mine is a parameter, it just pass in the string:
<font face='Wingdings'>¨</font> Empty checkbox
If you need the checkbox selected, you would pass in either ý or þ instead:
<font face='Wingdings'>ý</font> filled with an x
<font face='Wingdings'>þ</font> filled with a checkmark
