Change an amount (that docks a calculation) based on a drop-down list

• Different calculation based on the drop-down list

  I'm trying to figure out how to change the formula of a derived field in the selection in an adjacent drop-down list.

  For a simple example, trying to find the total amount paid on a loan, would you go Total paid = capital + (main * Int * time). But you may pay more depending on if you pay a fee.

  So what I have works when I enter the formula in the field "Total paid", but trying to integrate the list drop-down for the fees (which is either "Yes" (value = 1) or "No" (value = 2)), I can't figure out how to add the tax, which is $ 50.

  In the drop-down menu, I like an output event:

  Switch (this.rawValue)
  {
  case '1 ':
  totalPaid.rawValue = capital + (Principal * (rate / 100) * time) + 50;
  break;
  
  case '2 ':
  totalPaid.rawValue = capital + (Principal * (rate / 100) * time);
  break;
  
  }

  Could someone take a look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'll post a link to the form that you can see the details (if I do this right!)

  Hello

  You just need to use .rawValue to access the value of each object.

• Create a secondary named calculation in a repeating subform based on a drop down list?

  Hi all

  I need a little crazy script. Not sure it is even possible.

  What I have:

  1. repeating subform SummarySub amounts
     1. calculation at the end of the form TotalOver field gives the total dollar amount of all iterations of SummarySub
        
        so far, so simple. but then:
  2. I need another, repeating the SubRow subform at the end of the form to give to other total:
     1. based on the drop-down list the name of the originator in SummarySub
     2. and break out the totals of all iterations of SummarySub based on payer such as chosen by the user names.

  Ideally, the subform (the principal totals) (B) at the end of the form would add instances as the user leaves the field name of the payer. I was not able to find a way to make and to keep the value in the field (name of the payer) of the additional instance.

  All this makes sense?

  I'll appreciate any help.  I'm trying to learn more about JavaScript in LC, but my bills just keep coming...

  Thank you very much

  Dropbox - AFBS_OverpaymentReport_121914.pdf

  Hi Laura,

  Take a look at the modified version of your form, https://sites.google.com/site/livecycledesignercookbooks/home/AFBS_OverpaymentReport_01011 5.pdf? attredirects = 0 & d = 1.  I added a subform called PayerTotals, which has a summary of insurance created in his event to calculate.  The code looks like.

  var oFields = xfa.resolveNodes("SummarySub[*]"); 
  
  var nNodesLength = _SummarySub.count; 
  
  var nSum = 0; 
  
  var insuranceCompanies = {}
  
  for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) { 
  
   var item = oFields.item(nNodeCount);
  
   if (!item.InsuranceCompany.isNull && !item.OverpaymentAmount.isNull) {
  
   if (insuranceCompanies[item.InsuranceCompany.rawValue]) {
  
   insuranceCompanies[item.InsuranceCompany.rawValue] += item.OverpaymentAmount.rawValue
  
   else {
  
   insuranceCompanies[item.InsuranceCompany.rawValue] = item.OverpaymentAmount.rawValue
  
    nSum += item.OverpaymentAmount.rawValue; 
  
  totalover.rawValue = nSum;
  
  _PayerTotal.setInstances(0);
  
  for (var insuranceCompany in insuranceCompanies) { 
  
   var payerTotal = _PayerTotal.addInstance();
  
   payerTotal.InsuranceCompany.rawValue = insuranceCompany;
  
   payerTotal.totalover.rawValue = insuranceCompanies[insuranceCompany];

• Change the value in the field based on the drop-down list

  Let me start by saying that I consider myself as a rookie full when it comes to this program, but I'm learning. I have a drop down menu containing two choice (white or bright white) based on the selection in the drop-down list, I would like to change a field value to reflect the appropriate part number (Alpha numeric if it matters). I'll have 10 fields that will be either / or a value based on the selection. I searched the forums, but without understanding the terminology still, it is difficult to find the answer.

  Thanks for any help.

  Wayne

  Oh, OK.  So add "select" to the list and then on the value tab, select the default value: drop-down list and choose the item you want to appear by default.  I think that's what you're looking for.

  

• show/hide fields based on the drop-down list of choices

  I have a field from the drop-down list with three choices. Based on the selection, I need a specific text form field to appear and the others to stay hidden. (Or if it makes the code cleaner, the resulting field could be a drop-down list, too, with the selected choice.) I don't know Java well enough to extrapolate the code from the examples online and it fit my forms. I can provide an example of form. Thanks in advance for your help.

  There are ways to run this.  the easiest for you would be to add this script to the event (calculation of the Properties tab) to calculate the field that must be hidden.  Take notes, all "/ /" is some tips for you to understand the code.  You will need to put this script in all the areas you want to replicate the behavior, change the value depending on what you want to accomplish.  the word 'event' means myself to make you understand.

  If (this.getField("dropdown").value == 'put value here') {//replace "drop down" with the name of the drops}

  Event.Target.Display = display.visible;

  }

  else {}

  Event.Target.Display = display.hidden;

  }

  This works if you have a small amount of fields.  If you manage to have a large number of similar fields, let me know because there are other, faster ways.

• Is this possible? Subforms appeal based on the drop-down list associated with the database

  I'm hoping to make a dynamic shape and I wonder if it's possible.

  I have a database with about 300 entries - pieces of agricultural goods and a few little bits of info on each of these properties. I want to create a form where users can choose the piece there rather than the property in a drop-down list. Based on the property they select, another menu drop down to fill with the cultures associated with this property. Then based on the selection made in this drop-down list, a specific form will be brought upward.

  For example, a person selects property #102 in the drop-down list. In the database, property #102 is associated with wheat, barley and corn, so the next drop would be complete with these three cultures. The user selects the wheat in the drop-down list and the form of wheat would be called. 

  I hope I explained that well enough.

  Is this possible? And if it's possible, how complicated to do? Assuming that I already have the database and subforms, it would be a long process from weeks to the script, or it would be simple enough?

  Yes, this could be done, here is an example that should help: Drop dependent dropdown (specimen attached)

  On the basis of selection (change event of the second menu drop-down), you can show or hide a subform.

• How the auto fill a field based on the drop-down list unless the specific item is selected

  Hi all

  My apologies if I posted this in in the wrong place, but I am new to these forums, JavaScript and Adobe LiveCycle.

  I am trying to build a form using LiveCycle Acrobat but have problems with the drop-down lists.

  Inititaly I just wanted to fill in the fields in a table based on a matching menu selection dropdown in another table.

  I used the following code and it worked fine:

  Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)

  fFrom var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1');

  OTF var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1");

  for (var i = 0; i < = fFrom.length - 1; i ++) {}

  fTo.item (i) .rawValue = fFrom.item (i) .boundItem (xfa.event.newText);

  }

  The problem is that now I want the code above works UNLESS one of the items in the drop-down list is enabled specifically in this case, I want the text box in the other table to display a message such as "Details of the entry in the field below.

  I tried to create an If Else statement using the following code:

  Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails.Row4.Cell1::change - (JavaScript, client)

  fFrom var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table1.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1');

  OTF var = xfa.resolveNodes ("Workbook.Content.Table2.Row3.AppropriationDetails [*]. Row4.cell1");

  for (var i = 0; i < = fFrom.length - 1; i ++) {}

  If (fFrom.item (i) .rawvalue = "Option 3") {}

  fTo.item (i) .rawValue = "enter the details in the field below.

  }

  else {}

  fTo.item (i) .rawValue = fFrom.item (i) .boundItem (xfa.event.newText);

  }

  }

  The code now filled the field with "Enter the details in the field below" any item I select in the drop-down list.

  Your help is greatly appreciated.

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  You use .rawValue in the change event. This will cause problems because the selection of the users has not received .rawValue from the drop-down list at the time when the change event is triggered.

  Move your script as it should to the output of the dropdown event.

  Hope that helps,

• Where is the past, bookmark button that displays all THE bookmarks as a drop-down list?

  I had to reinstall my OS, and now I don't see the big 'Favorites' button, I got to the right of the search box Google with Firefox.
  It is with the value 'Icons' of icons.
  I use to be able to click on "Favorites" and they appear in a drop-down list, like 'latest news' power works.
  I can click the Favorites (with the star on this subject), who comes here to open a sidebar - not a menu drop-down which disappears when I clicked it.

  I loaded Windows 7 and took some quick screenshots for you:
  http://tinyurl.com/3c7ouvs

  Also note that it only shows the bookmarks menu button if you use the Firefox menu button and not the classic menu bar, because it would be quite redundant to have a button and the bookmarks at the top menu which does exactly the same thing.

  Look at what you have in the toolbar and what is in the window customize (you may need to scroll down). If you have one in the toolbar then the other is probably in the window customize somewhere. If you have a lot of addons installed there may be many buttons to look through.

  If you have problems you can just click on the 'Restore Default Set' button in the Customize dialog box to restore the default values that will also involve of the bookmarks that you want to switch all your toolbars. If you had any other customizations to your toolbars and then change them back again.

• Please help a poor beginner to open a text box based on a drop-down list

  Hello world

  I am quite new to the life cycle and my experience isn't in the lineup, so I hope that you will be kind to me. I designed a form that we use to send to our Bank to hire contractors. I need to make a text field become visible collection of some inscriptions on the drop-down list. for example, if an entry in the drop-down list "Holiday", I need another text field become visible to the user of maunally enter an extension number. If the user selects, say, "Study leave", I need the text box to stay invisible to the user.

  I hope this makes sense.

  Thank you guys & Gal

  Heavy E

  It is a java script placed on the drop-down list on the change event;

  If (xfa.event.newText is "Vacancy")
  TextField1.presence = "visible";

  else TextField1.presence = "hidden";

  Field1 text is defined as hidden

  To answer your second example, add in the same field:

  If (xfa.event.newText is ' Study/leave')
  TextField1.presence = "hidden";

• How to fill a textfield based on a drop-down list and a checkbox control

  Hi guys,.

  I need help.
  first step: I have a drop down list, if I click in the dropdownlist control 'a' and place it in the digital field a number greater than 99, checkbox must be marked and second step: a textfield1 must be visible.

  the first stage works perfectly, but the second does not.
  This is my code for the second stage of the event: java script of change of

  If ((DropDownList1.rawValue == "a") & & (this.rawValue == 1))
  {
  TextField1.presence = "visible";
  }
  on the other
  TextField1.presence = 'hidden ';

  
  everyone has no idea why?

  Thank you!!

  Diana

  Hi Diana,

  You are on the right track. deleteItem is zero base; so if you want to remove the second point, it would be deleteItem (1).

  I would recommend a script similar to the output from the drop-down list, so that if the user goes back and changes the value, the same logic would apply. Also when you remove items from a drop-down list by using script, it is useful to addItem() again in the other part of the if statement. In this way, you can restore the list because the shape is changed.

  Also I would wrap the script in the numberField in another State to check for null first.

  Attached example.

  Good luck

• JavaScript to fill the text based on the drop-down list field

  Please see my previous thread in this regard and Paul example will provide you with the right script for a script to switch.

• Fill other fields based on a drop-down list box

  Hello

  I am completely new to LiveCycle and just starting to teach me how to use it.

  I want to speed up the filling of a purchase order by bringing them to fill based essentially on what is put in other areas.

  For example, I would like to than our usual suppliers to be included in a drop of water to the bottom of the box (I know not how, at least) and then have the address fields automatically filled.

  I know that I can do this using javascript, but it is rather annoying because I don't want to sit here put 276 suppliers in my script. In addition, I don't want to have to edit the script whenever we want to add a new provider.

  Is it possible to create a form that made it and can pull info on another file or database? Also, I would make it pretty fool-proof when it comes to adding new suppliers.

  Thank you

  Darryl

  The way to proceed is to hang on to the top of the drop-down list for a service web and that the web service returns a list of providers (in load of the form). Once the user selects a supplier a second web service would draw information and fill in the appropriate fields.  This technique is easier to configure on the client machines (as all the information is contained in the form). You will need to get another piece of software called LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server to allow the form make calls from web service of the player (assuming that the reader is used).

  The form can connect to a database directly, but this solution has drawbacks as well. You need to configure a dataconnection on each machine as the machine must be on the same network as the DB. It will work on Windows machines. You also punctuated by player to allow DB with Reader connections.

  Hope that helps

• Check generate some Comp based on the drop-down list box and the selection list?

  I currently have a dropdown list with the three sizing options in it. Then I have two check boxes, one is ticked ideally would create the model to its normal size composition and if other is checked that it would reverse the widthxheight in the size of the composition. Then below that I have a "Generate" button, I want to be able to click and according to my selections, it creates the model.

  Looks like I need a kind of if then statement, but I'm having a hard time putting the two together. See below what I have so far.

  There may be missing parts, but I have it all working in a decibel pallate currently. I don't have functionality related to a button again.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  (also I don't know how to format the script spread here so apologies for that)

  ---------------------------

  palette controls

  templateGen.VerticalCheckbox = new Object();

  templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox = new Object();

  templateGen.comLookup = new Object();

  templateGen.compLookup = 'Template1 ';

  templateGen.compLookup = "Template2";

  templateGen.compLookup = "Template3."

  function templateGen_getHashValues (hash)

  { // {{{

  var ary = new Array();

  for (k hash) {}

  ARY.push (Hash [k]);

  }

  return area;

  } // }}}

  menu "composition".

  var panelGrp1 = templateGen.palette.add ('Panel', undefined, 'Templates Comp');

  compGrp1 = panelGrp1.add ('group', undefined, 'List templates');

  compGrp2 = panelGrp1.add ('group', undefined, 'Orientation');

  compGrp3 = panelGrp1.add ('group', undefined, 'Generate');

  templateGen.compList = compGrp1.add ('dropdownlist', LIST_DIMENSIONS, templateGen_getHashValues (bapple.compLookup));

  templateGen.compList.helpTip = "choose the type of desired here device model. All compositions are 60 fps. « ;

  templateGen.compList.selection = 'Template1 ';

  templateGen.compList.graphics.foregroundColor = darkColorBrush;

  templateGen.VerticalCheckbox = compGrp2.add ('checkbox', undefined, 'Portrait');

  templateGen.VerticalCheckbox .value = true;

  templateGen.HorizontalCheckbox .value = false;

  templateGen.generateBtn1 = compGrp3.add ('button', undefined, 'Generate');

  applyBtn.onClick =? ;

  When I work with drop-down menus, I always liked to tie the data they represent (like the width and height of the model in this case) directly to the elements.

  I run the code to really check, but it should work like this:

  -----------------

  Add models to your drop-down list and store the items in a table

  models var = [];

  models [0] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template1');

  models [1] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template2');

  models [2] = templateGen.compList.add('item','template3');

  set a width and height of each element

  models [0] .width = 1280;

  models [0] .height = 720;

  models [1] .width = 1024;

  models [1] .height = 768;

  models [2] .width = 1920;

  models [2] .height = 1080;

  Choose the item that should be selected by default

  models [0] .selected = true;

  applyBtn.onClick = function() {}

  read the width and height of the selected item

  var width = templateGen.compList.selection.width;

  var height = templateGen.compList.selection.height;

  {if (templateGen.VerticalCheckbox.value)}

  swap width and height

  var temp = width;

  width = height;

  height = temp;

  }

  now create your comp here with the given width and height

  }

  There is no native function to Muse to achieve this goal. However, if you host your site on Business Catalyst, you can take advantage of the functionality of breadcrumbs. He won't let the open drop-down list stay, but it will show customers on what page they are and that he can see that they have followed to reach the page.
