Elementary Q: In Ride interface, in text edit tab, the search text field doesn't work. Is it the same for you? - robotframework-ide

I hope that someone responds to very elementary questions as well as the difficut ones. It's more than oe months that i use Ride for RobotFramework and i could never use the Search button on Text editor tab of Ride.
i write a word (not keyword) and i click the search button ( not Apply Changes button) and nothing happens. is it normal?
Thanks for any insight

The Search Button expects to have the text box on its left filled with the words to search.
You can also select the text and press Ctrl-G that will fill the text box an start the search (from the top of the file). Shift-Ctrl-G does the same but backwards.
This is a very rudimentary search function, but allows to find and replace if you have previously put content in memory (Ctrl-C), you can Search and then Ctrl-V.

Combobox in Form Header to search customer stops working when i close the program and reopen

I create the combobox and choose the 3rd option (to choose from a list on my form). The form was based on the customerT (patientT in this case). I tried several different ways the last of which was to create a query with the patientT and a FullNameQ i created to combine last names and first names. the combo box searches great either way til i close access and re open. then i get the error in the pic attached. pic of form with error message
I have also tried creating a search form and using the wildcard function in the query but everytime i enter the formula in the criteria, Access changes LIKE to ALIKE. Is it supposed to do that? i watched 3 diff videos to copy how they created a search form. I dont see their formula adding the A when they click off the field or hit enter.

How to 'preselect' text in a TextField so that typing something new immediately replaces the previous text?

It is common practice in many UI situations to preselect the text displayed in a text editing field in such a way that if the user starts typing it immediately replaces the displayed text.
This can be useful for example in search field to show the previously searched text (for reuse or editing) while making it easy to search for a new text string simply by start typing.
I've searched for how to do this in TextField, but not found a way yet - is it possible?
We don't have a concept of pre-select and it isn't common in mobile where selection is awkward by comparison. A more common approach here is to have an X button next to the text field which clears the text field instantly. You can easily do it by just adding a button next to the field.

Hit highlighting in angularjs

I have shown a list of people in my site. I am getting the list from my web server.
My requirement is to provide a search text box in the application using which user can search the list. Searching the list is easy but I need to highlight the search text in the search result. I don't have to filter list but highlight the search text.
It should look like when we press ctrl f5 and give a search text.
How to do this?
You need to make a directive that you can pass a block of text. The directive would split the string on whitespace and wrap matches with a <span> that you can style to show matches.

How to display suggestions in a textbox while searching?

Can anybody has working code example using CN1 for a search text box, which displays suggestions dynamically while user types text into it. Please help.
AutoCompleteTextView: An editable text view that shows completion suggestions automatically while the user is typing. The list of suggestions is displayed in a drop down menu from which the user can choose an item to replace the content of the edit box with.
The drop down can be dismissed at any time by pressing the back key or, if no item is selected in the drop down, by pressing the enter/dpad center key.
The list of suggestions is obtained from a data adapter and appears only after a given number of characters defined in list.
For more detail explanation check AutomCompleteTextView Example
Hope this will help you.

How to implement textinput control and identification

I have a text input box where users can add text, however I would like my program to identify the text in the box and match it up with text in a database.
So the user essentially can't add any text which isn't on the database. So the user will type in the text input box and maybe like a quick selection box appears below it to identify what is being added based on the items on the database.
Not sure where to start implementing this.
Textboxes are just normal textinput components at the moment:
<s:TextInput id="searchInput3" includeIn="AddingInput3" x="126" y="304"change="onChange3(event)"/>
Database is just a local xml file
Looks like you meant auto completion in your text input.
You must search for this in your favorite search engine: "flex text input auto complete" and you should get many results.
One such example for the same is:
