I've a complex text field which I can embed types of font within it. When I try to choose a specific font through the Dropdownlist, I'll show the busy cursor till font embeds inside the text field completely.
I want to disable my text field based on showing busy cursor... I mean when the busy cursor is showing disable the text filed and after disappearing that, just enabled text field again.
How can I do that?
Is there any specific listener for that or what?
Thanks in advance
If you share some code it would be easier to answer. Or just try this, just check the condition over there there is a method called useHandCursor or useBusyCursor. where you used to show that method. just check that condition and disable that. I hope it works.

I'm trying to create an input view that contains a number pad for inputting a sales amount. I know that if you were inputting a number into a text box, you can set the input scope to numeric and then when you click in the text box, a number pad will come up but that's not what I'm trying to do.
I quite literally want the lower half of this screen to be just a number pad that is always up. There is no text box. Rather, as the user is punching in numbers, it'll be displayed in a textblock (a lot like you'd see in a calculator app). I'm not seeing a control for this and google just keeps bringing me back posts about InputScope. I was even thinking of maybe a hack-around where there's an invisible textbox that always has focus, causing the numberpad to always be up, but I don't even know how to cause that behavior either.
Is there a control or technique for this or am I going to have to roll a new user control? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I would recommend creating your own custom control. That would be the best solution for your condition. There is no inbuilt solution for this situation. I was stuck in the same condition and created a new control with a custom keyboard and a textblock.
And for the hack you mentioned. You can register the LostFocus event of the textbox control and focus the control again using Focus() method of Textbox everytime is loses focus.
We're atm creating Reports with the reporting service, but it's not quite defined where to use which Font.
My easiest approach would have been to create a Variable per Report and set the Font in the expression:
Variables!FontStyle.Value
Sadly it doesn't seem to work. If I print the Variable-Text, I see the Font, but it seems like I need some sort of conversion.
As far as I found I've not seen any possibility to do such things, the only Idea would be with HTML-Tags, but I guess since there is a Font-Expression, there is a easier ways.
BTW: I'm really having a lot of small stuff, which bugs me a bit in SSRS, has someone some good articles / books for "Best practices" etc.?
Thanks in advance.
If you want to use a font style for the entire report you can set it with a variable. In the report properties there is a sub heading called Variables, click the dotted button to add a variable. In the report properties window click Add then give it a name you will refer to later like myFont, enter Pristina into the value as an example. Click okay.
Now to call your variable right click on some text and go to properties. In the text box property window click Font and then the fx button next to the font name, then enter your font variable you set earlier =Variables!myFont.Value.
There you go
I find it intriguing and couldn't find any special reason as to why the cursor should not advance to the next form field when the field type is "drop-down selection" or "radio button". As in both cases logically there cannot be any additional input.
Is there any attribute which can be applied so that the cursor moves on to the next field.
Consider how many forms are filled daily worldwide and how much time being wasted if there is no special reason.
STOP! What you are trying to do will break keyboard users. In fact, any change you make will break somebody's workflow.
Auto-tab should not be used for any field, ever.
Who knows your field is going to auto tab? Nobody. Why? Because that's not what fields do on the web. So, I press tab out of habit to get to the next field, what did I do? Oh no, I've tabbed past the next field, thanks to an unexpected auto-tab. Now I'll just have to tab back.
I'm editing a field, there are enough characters in the field already, I want to overwrite some characters in the field, oh no! I'm being auto-tabbed out of it before I can finish!
I'm a keyboard user, I use the up and down arrows to change the value in a select or radio. These are triggering onchange events every time I press them, even though I haven't finished changing the value to the value I want.
When I want to tab to the next field, I'll jolly well press it myself thanks.
There is a very special reason not to autotab, and this doesn't really waste any time (unless you're developing something for somebody to use constantly for several hours at a time). The special reason is you're following the principle of least astonishment.
Start with attribute tabindex="-1"
JQuery style:
$('.something').each(function(){
this.tabIndex = -1;
});
Ok, I was asking for logic and it looks like I have found a reasonable answer to myself.
The cursor stays there and doesn't auto-tab to the next field as next field type may be a radio field or again a drop-down selection field, where auto-tab cannot take any action for example selecting an option from multiple radio options.
But I still feel that there should be an option of auto-tab depending on where it can be used or where it can be omitted.
Auto tab is an important and needed feature. Why, for example, should I have to press the tab key after entering in my area code before I can type in the next 3 numbers? From a user experience perspective, that's really annoying. I would think there would be an attribute built into HTML5 or CSS3 to accomplish this. I found this thread as I'm looking for it. If anyone has an update, please share.
I have an Access table that has a hyperlink field, with the records being a website link, to look up the UPS Worldship shipment tracking#. My problem is that even though the text has blue colored font, the link doesn’t launch and open the web browser when I click on the field.
originally the hyperlink did work, when I created the table and changed the field properties from “text” to “hyperlink”, but once I ran a delete query and an append query (in order to refresh the data), the link no longer functioned, even though the field has hyperlink properties.
Here is an example of my hyperlink record that I want the browser to launch: http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?sort_by=status&tracknums_displayed=1&TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&loc=en_us&InquiryNumber1=1Z1467826772975386&track.x=0&track.y=0
Please advise what I need to do in order to make the hyperlink work, so the user doesn’t have to manually copy and paste the link into a web browser.
Thank you very much in advance
Nathaniel, Access 2003
I don't understand what you mean. I need to create an Access app that would be used throughout the day in order to track UPS packages. Ideally the table would provide a link, so that the user doesnt have to manually copy and paste the tracking number into the UPS website. Please advise if this is feasible without VBA.
I do not like hyperlink fields, they are difficult to edit and somewhat confusing for the user. I prefer to use a click event with FollowHyperlink. However, if you must use hyperlink fields, they have to have this format to work:
Descriptive text#link#
So
Stackoverflow#http://stackoverflow.com#
http://stackoverflow.com#http://stackoverflow.com#
Email#mailto:mail#example.com#
I imagine you have lost the link - that is, the bit between the hash signs.
Try going back to the table with the record and change the data type to short text. Close and reopen the table and switch the data type back to hyperlink. If the text is a valid webpage link it should work without any extra coding.
Good luck!
I think I'm looking directly at an Access 2003 bug. Here's what I did (I think):
I'm developing a Continuous Form (i.e. multiple records per page).
I have an unbound textbox in the background of the Details section. Under Data Properties, I have Enabled=No and Locked=Yes. (In other words, I don't want the user to select it. I only want it for the background color)
This textbox also has some conditional formatting to change the background color for that row. (e.g. If we haven't spoken to that customer in awhile, the background for that record is red)
If I choose a record where the conditional formatting is active (i.e. the background is red), I can actually click on this textbox. There's not much that I can do, of course, but this shouldn't happen and surely would be confusing to the end-users.
Has anyone else seen this? What's your workaround?
Enabled is a property that can be controlled via conditional formatting. By default when you add a new condition, the Enabled property is set to True. If you don't want your control to be enabled you must explicitly set Enabled = False within the conditional formatting rule.
The property is toggled via a button in the lower right corner of the conditional formatting dialog. It's easy to miss (I forget about it all the time).
Personally, I think the property should be three-way: True, False, or Inherit (with Inherit as the default). Unfortunately, Access forces you to be explicit when adding conditional formatting rules and state whether the rule should make the control Enabled or Disabled.
Here's my workaround (I was waiting to see if anyone else would suggest something better. Apparently not.)
In my conditionally formatted textbox, add an Event Procedure for GotFocus. Enter this code: Me.Txt_FocusHere.SetFocus.
Make a 2nd unbound text box somewhere on the form. Shrink it until it's just 1 line thick. Call it Txt_FocusHere.
So whenever the user clicks on the colored background, the focus is immediately taken to this dummy textbox which can't store any data and is so small that the user doesn't see the blinking cursor.
I successfully used the method on the following page: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0047.htm - "Changing the Background Color of the Current Record in a Continuous Form"
