I would solve the problem by using a text input field or numeric input field. If it always read-only and it is getting populated by a connection, there should be no reason that it needs to be done with a masked text input. In the meantime I will have the development team take a look at the mask text input object.<br /> <a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/">Workflow software, </a><a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/">Process software, </a><a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/">Procedure software</a> </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/able-to-edit-mask-text-038-checkbox-fields-when-marked-read-only#post-2419 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:57:37 +0000 EFox 2419@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I converted my checkboxes to radio buttons to correct the "read only" issue.

This Mask Text Input field is set to "Read Only" for all stages &#38; roles. When I preview the form and run the connect command, I can still edit the Mask Text field even though it has a "Read Only" state.</p> <p>I also have a CheckBox Group with 2 checkboxes (Yes &#38; No) that get "checked/unchecked" by a behavior from a Text Input field on the same form. The CheckBox group is set to "Read Only" as well, but I can still check &#38; uncheck them during testing. I did notice that "Read Only" was not an option on the individual Checkboxes, just on the group.</p> <p>Is there anyway to correct this so that the user/submitter cannot edit the Mask Text Input field or the CheckBox fields?

I use a high-quality logo on my form (.PNG file). This looks ok on the design- and formscreens, but the same logo in the generated PDF is of significant reduced quality.</p> <p>2. I have a textfield and next to it an inputfield on the same line. They share the same font, same fontsize, same top-coordinates, same height-coordinates. Everything looks ok on the design- and form-screen. But, the generated PDF shows the inputfield 10 pixels lower then the textfield.</p> <p>3. I have a textfield that contains a text with spaces into HTML-code to underline it. This is corretly shown on the screen, but the generated PDF does not underline the spaces in my textfield. I replaced this line with a horizontal separator as work-around.</p> <p>4. This is a more pragmatical question. Is it possible to zoom in (and out) on a page when designing a form?</p> <p>Just to be clear, the form pages and generated PDF have exactly the same configuration ("Print - DIN 14", DPI: 72, same dimensions)</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/can-i-validateforce-digits-in-an-input-mask#post-2326 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:55:42 +0000 srogers 2326@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Yes, that works well.

It won't show up in the list and I can't think of another way to do it. </p> <p>I can't just type the text in the first field because my situation is actually more complex than above - I'm populating the first Text field dynamically (from 25 possible Text fields). I have to use Text objects because I need to use html to insert links in the fields. I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but I can't figure it out!</p> <p>So overall my question is "How can I set the text of one Text object to that of another Text object?" </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/image-import#post-2102 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 15:21:38 +0000 Dennis @ PerfectForms 2102@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>The image import object only works with Internet Explorer. There is another method of bringing an image into an instance that works with all browsers.<br /> The behavior involves using a file attachment object. When the object changes data, use a set property behavior object to change the property of a picture object to the value of the attachment object. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/marking-mandatory-fields#post-1455 Fri, 21 May 2010 13:19:06 +0000 ijobling 1455@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>There is no visual marker by default. If you want to present something like this then you would have to do it manually. In terms of managing this for different users and stages though you can also control whether that 'red star' is visible in the same way that you are defining that the field is mandatory or not for that stage and role.<br /> check it out here:<br /> <a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/Documentation/manual/html/field_access_and_field_states.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.perfectforms.com/Documentation/manual/html/field_access_and_field_states.htm</a> </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/marking-mandatory-fields#post-1454 Fri, 21 May 2010 12:14:14 +0000 mpstratfold 1454@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I've set some fields as mandatory within my form. Can PerfectFroms automatically indicate to the user that the field is mandatory. The convention might be to add a red-star.</p> <p>I guess I could do this manually for all mandatory fields, but what is mandatory may change depending upon the users and stage. It could be very tricky to manage.</p> <p>Did I miss something?
