I'm working in InfoPath and somehow created about 16 Text Box Controls with formatting that I cannot override in terms of text size as well as strikethroughs. Any suggestions to be able to remove the formatting and be able to maintain these controls?
It sounds like you got into the code and accessed the toolbar. If you right click on the textbox and go to properties it should take you to the properties window. Make sure under the space next to "Text" in the properties window is blank.
I'm using Brackets editor http://brackets.io/ and I'd like to change behavior when I click TAB key it will put 4 SPACEs instead and also I'd like to change amount of spaces added.
Is it possible to do this adjustment?
In the lower right corner of the editor, you'll see text saying Spaces: 4 or the like.
You can click Spaces (or Tab) to toggle between those and click the number to change it.
I'm working with a PowerPoint document which annoyingly sets all newly inserted text boxes' color to Red and uses Century Gothic. I believe this is due to the Master Slide being used by the document.
I would like to remove this automatic setting from text boxes in the Master Slide but I cannot figure out how?
I have gone into the Master Slide view and found that there are no text physical text boxes, there are however "Text Placeholders" but no text boxes. I find it strange and wonder:
how are these newly inserted text boxes contain pre-set font type and color?
If you aren't trying to do this in code, StackOverflow isn't really the right place for the question; you want SuperUser for "How do I ..." questions that don't involve code.
But what you want to do is select a text box that's formatted the way you want default text to be, then right click it and choose Set As Default Text Box. You won't get that option if you've clicked WITHIN the text box and have an insertion cursor; in that case press ESC, then rightclick.
If you're trying to do this in code, select a text box formatted to taste then do something like this:
Sub SetMeAsDefault()
Dim oSh As Shape
Set oSh = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
With oSh
.SetShapesDefaultProperties
End With
End Sub
The shape and text box defaults are independent of master formatting, which controls only the formatting of placeholders and text within placeholders. Text/shapes inserted via the Insert ribbon/menu follow the defaults set for the presentation as I've described above. Each presentation (and template) can have its own set of defaults.
I am using edit field to enter some text. When I click on edit field, one Highlighting box is showing as in image. I want to hide that box. Please catch the problem using below image:
How to remove this focused box in edit field??
As it's Edit Field, its default nature is to highlight text for editing. If you are going to enter values in the field during application runtime means you have to bare this. If you are going to enter values programatically means use Rich Text Field or your
editfield.setEditable(false);
Is there any way to do this in the Powerbuilder properties window for a datawindow's textbox?
That kind of depends on how you define "textbox", but in general the only way to mix normal and superscript text is with a richtext control. In PB 11.5, you can even use richtext as a column style.
Good luck,
Terry.
Yes. For the text control, you must select a font that has superscript characters (Arial does).
Go into the Windows Character Map (usually in the start menu under Accessories->System Tools) and select your font.
Then go to the superscript character that you want to place in your text control. Click it and then click the Select button to place it down in the character map text box.
Then click the Copy button.
Now you can return to PowerBuilder and paste this value into the properties window text area.
As long as the same font is selected for the DataWindow control as was selected in the character map it should show as your superscript character.
This same techinque can be done to include any of the Wingding type characters as well.
We ended up using two separate text fields. It's a butt-ugly solution, but it works. The superscript field has a smaller font and is nudged a little higher up.
I think newer PB versions support superscripts.
Thanks for the help.

If you go to the character map - when you select your character it will show the keys to enter this character on the bottom right of the window.
Example : in Arial font - the ® (registered) mark is Alt + 0174
To enter these, turn your numlock on, hold the alt key down, and type 0 1 7 & 4 then let up on the alt key. You have to use the number keys on the number pad to do this the ones on the top of the keyboard dont work.
You can then enter your characters directly or do something like this :
ls_key = '®'
Actually I stumbled across a simpler solution. I copied and pasted a portion of the text from a pdf into the text property of a datawindow text contol. The superscript character simply pasted in. So I'm guessing that Dougman's solution would work too.
Example:
"™Trademark used under..."
Note: I'm using PB 9.0.1
Thanks for all the help,
