hi,

you can write the code in OnEnter action , because there is no event like OnFocus.

so when user enters in the input field the text will be cleared

Usually you put text in the Input Field - as an information for the user to enter the correct details in the input box.

Instead you may put a balloon help for the Input Field. There is a property of the Input Field that you need to set.

Hi,

I think this is possible. Roundabout way like baloon help is another good suggestion. You can create a action for clearing the field and then cal the action in wdDoModifyView method.

IWDInputField Fld = (IWDInputField)view.getElement("FieldId");

Fld.setOnEnter(<action>);

I think this shouldn't work because the onEnter action is the action when the focus is on that field and the user press the "Enter" button.

There isn't is property for onFocus instead.

Hi,

I know of only one action i.e onEnter, but see if you can tweak using the code I provided in my previous post. For more details plz see the IWDInputField API docs on usage and refrence and let us know if it worked.

Cheers!!

Thanks all of you for suggesions.

Please can you tell the exact name of the property? I m unable to find that property.

OnEnter is different i dont press enter when cursor is focused in InputField default text would change.

It is called Tooltip property.

Hi Adam,

I guess this is not possible in Web Dynpro.
