The form window(chat window) that i am creating for a lan messenger is similar to the one in google talk with two textboxes. What i need to do is to transfer characters typed in the lower textbox(textbox2) to the upper textbox(textbox1 which is read-only) when i click the submit button without showing that textbox1 is read-only because the characters are appearing in grey.please help with code if possible.
Use a label for this instead of a textbox. If the only thing it is doing is display the characters and not a direct edit, you won't lose any functionality and the text would not be greyed out...
If you're going to use a Texbox, set it to Locked. That shouldn't gray the characters out. Otherwise in KeyDown/KeyUp events, set the e.Handled property to true (which will tell the box that you want to handle the input yourself and don't want the message to filter down).
That oughta do it for you.

With Plain Text views I am able to do that by writing this code in on input event -
if (potential.trim() == "") {
${Button3}.setEnabled(false);
}
else{
${Button3}.setEnabled(true);
}
I don't know what potential means here in BPM but this works for Plain Text Views.
However when I try on change event in Decimal View Text field this doesn't work.
In html inspector console I see -
Potential reference not found.
Is there any Potential like thing available for Decimal Views also?
Judging by the documentation and looking at in on an 8.6 version it seems like 'potential' is an additional parameter available to the Plain Text control.
With that in mind, I don't think there is an equivalent for the Decimal view as it doesn't have an "On input" event available. You could, however, get something close to the same behavior using the "On Change" or "On blur" events of the Decimal view to check the binding value. If it's been set to null you could disable the button.
While that doesn't meet your exact requirement of immediate feedback, it does appear to work quickly enough that even if the user attempts to click the button without "committing" change to the Decimal input (meaning the cursor is still in the Decimal input field and they haven't pressed return) that the change and visibility settings happen first so the button won't execute.
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.
My aim is to have text boxes - a set amount per level for people to guess a hidden word. I don't want the UITextfield to be tapped and then bring up the keyboard, I'd like to have a different button that brings up the keyboard - if that's possible.
If each box is a separate text field how could I go about entering text. When a user types on the standard apple keypad, how could each character be inputted into a certain text field. I'd preferably like the text to show in the box as soon as a key is tapped.
I'm also having trouble clearing certain letters. Say a user mis-spells something and doesn't realise until the keyboard has resigned as first responder, how could I make it so that a user can tap on maybe two boxes if the rest of the word is spelt right and the program clear it?
Is there any way of writing the program so that it inputs text only if the text field is empty? Continuing with the example above they switch two letters, they tap to clear, they then bring up the keypad and the next key then pressed fills the empty boxes. Not allowing the program to input text in a used text field that only contains a single character?
I'm using Cocos2d - I don't know if that makes a difference. I hope you understand what I mean, although I'm rather bad at explaining.
Thank you in advance for your time and any help :).
Instead of having a textbox that you don't want users to edit, why not use a label?
To show the keyboard, you need to have it linked to some UITextField (or similar). You could use an invisible UITextField, and then monitor the input and send the characters to the correspinding labels. Refer to this question.
To check if a textfield has anything in it:
[textField.text length] > 0, but I would use labels instead of textfields.
I dont really understand the other parts of your question.
I have a text area that has names within the default value. For example the textarea reads..
(dynamic registrant name) just registered to become
a donor in (dynamic from pull-down above)
honor. This text is editable
So in the same form I have an input that asks the user for their name and a select box where they can choose among a selections of names. I am trying to change the names within the text area based on the values they enter in the input and drop-down fields above the text area. Can someone help with this? I am completely stuck. I have read through some of the forums here and it looks like a lot of the solutions are to use ajax. I have zero experience in ajax and would like to find a solution that does not use that...is it possible? Or could someone help with a solution?
I don't think textarea is what you want exactly. What if the user takes off the (dynamic from pull-down above) part? How would you know where to put the text at? Even if you somehow could, I suggest you make regular text input elements for contents that the user can change and put the other dynamically changing text as uneditable html text elements (or however you want to format them).
I have 3 grids:- Header,Body and Footer with Body having textboxes.
I have included the Body inside a scrollviewer so that user can type as much data as he wants in the texboxes of Body.
But when the Keyboard pops up the whole view is pushed at top and I cannot see the Header.
The textboxes have wrapping on and also accepts return.
Can the scrollview move up the text when keyboard pops up?
Thanks and Regards,
Kanaya
Not entirely sure if this will help. How about some XAML?
You could capturing the Focus event of the text box that brings the Keyboard up. In that event you could set the scrollViewer.HorizontalOffset property to some caluclated value to get whatever you want in view.
Edit: HorizontalOffest is only a getter user ScrollToHorizontalOffset instead
You probably can make it scroll up like you want, but it will appear very strange to seasoned users of the WP7 operating system. Expected behavior for text input is exactly what you described, the notion Microsoft (I believe) is trying to hit here is that when you want to type something in, you want to clear everything else out of view, and only focus on the textbox at hand.
