Explain the use of "xfa.resolveNode" in layman's terms

I know this may be a novice question, but can someone please explain when and why xfa.resolveNode is used form design? Is this a form of shorthand to prevent the referencing a parent subform?

Thanks in advance

Hello

There are a few situations when you have to troubleshoot a node.

  1. When you reference an object that has the same name as other objects in the same container. In the hierarchy, you would see TextField1 [0], TextField1 [1], TextField1 [2], etc. The number in brackets indicates the number of instance of each object. If in your script, you want to reference TextField1 [2], then you will have to solve the node. There is a good reason to name objects as you drag them onto the form.
  2. You reference an object that is in a container/page/subform without name. The script should solve the container without a name in order to access the object inside. This would also apply if there are several containers with the same name (see 1 above). Again, another good reason for containers of name as you go.
  3. If you try to refer to a particular instance of an extensible object, then you will have to solve this particular instance. There are several examples of this in the samples of table here: http://assure.ly/lwQHm7.
  4. If your script is in an object in the main Magi and you reference an object on the Master Page (or visa versa), then you will have to solve the node.

There's the main time that you would solve the node. There may be more, but I don't see any at this point.

Resolve the nodes is unique to JavaScript scripts and not the FormCalc scripts.

SOM stands for script object model. XFA forms have a number of models.

Form the top object is XFA. This means XML Forms Architecture.

Under the present are a number of objects in a strict hierarchy. These are called DOM or Document object models. There is the:

  • XFA DOM. You would sometimes script against this model, for example, xfa.resolveNode ().
  • Template DOM, which contains information about the form.
  • DOM, which contains information about the data structure and content of the data.
  • Form DOM, which contains the model data DOM and DOM merged. Most of scripting is done against the form DOM.
  • Layout DOM, that contains information specific page for example xfa.layout.pageCount ().

Expressions of script object model (SOM) allow you to access the properties and methods.

This draft is a work in progress (I'll finish later it): http://assure.ly/exTXaZ. The intention is to show how to create SOM expressions in different situations. Right now, it doesn't have any related text in it. Take a look at page 4 and more on expression of SOM.

I hope this helps,

Niall

  • Can anyone explain the use of levels of failure

    I've been playing with the levels of failure in the quiz properties but I'd understand what I'm doing.

    Thank you

    Susan

    Hi Susan

    Perhaps you have allowed three attempts and set up three levels of failure.

    On the first wrong answer, the learner can see the legend 1 failure. Perhaps it is yellow and says "Try again".

    On the second wrong answer, the learner can see the legend 2 failure. Maybe it's orange and said "Nope, still evil!

    On the third incorrect answer, the learner sees the legend honor 3. Maybe it is bright red, has a noise of gurgling associate and said ' I YOU LOSE!

    I hope that helps you to understand... Rick

  • What is the problem with this resolveNodes script?

    I have the code on a checkbox to the mouseup event:

    Outline is the following:

    Form1

    mainForm

    Subform

    checkBox1

    I intend to have several subforms more.

    This is the script:

    If (this.rawValue == 1 | xfa.resolveNodes("mainForm.subForm[*]").checkBox1.rawValue == 1)

    xfa.resolveNodes("form1.mainForm.subForm[*]").border.fill.color.value = "180,180,180";

    on the other

    xfa.resolveNodes("form1.mainForm.subForm[*]").border.fill.color.value = "255,255,255";

    When I click on this box should turn to the gray background of mainForm.  Instead, it does nothing.  Anyone has an idea why this script does not work?

    Thanks for any help!

    The resolveNodes method returns more than one object. If you want to set a field value in an instance, then you must use the resolveNode method.

    But when you resolveNode method, you must pass the index of the subform. You cannot pass [*]...

    Probably from your hierarchy, your code should look like this...

    var i = this.parent.index;

    If (this.rawValue == 1 | xfa.resolveNode("mainForm.subForm["+_intIndex_+"]").checkBox1.rawValue == 1)

    xfa.resolveNode("form1.mainForm.subForm["+_intIndex_+"]").border.fill.color.value = "180,180,180";

    on the other

    xfa.resolveNode("form1.mainForm.subForm["+_intIndex_+"]").border.fill.color.value = "255,255,255";

  • Question the use of the certificate for ODSEE 11.1.1.7.0

    Hello

    I have a few questions about certificates.

    (1) do I need to renew the original self-signed certificates created when the DS was created, if I'm not currently using the secure port?

    (2) do you have any suggestions as to a good resource to explain the use and implementation of certificates in ODSEE?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Use of ldaps (LDAP over SSL) is optional, so no need to renew the certificates if you do not use encryption to access or LDAPS attribute

  • issue of xfa.resolveNode

    I have a function that takes 2 arguments, the first is a XFAObject and it does not really matter what is the other. I use the first parameter to set a variable inside a call to xfa.resolveNode (): xfa.resolveNode (x). My variable is a concatination of the parameter and the instanceIndex between single quotes for this setting: x = String.concat ("'", param1, "[", param1.instanceIndex, "]'");

    When implemented, it looks like this:

    function myFunc (param1, param2) {}

    var j = param1.instanceIndex;

    var x = String.concat ("'", param1, "[", j, "]'");

    xfa.resolveNode (x) .its presence = "visible";

    }


    Could someone tell me why it does not work? I checked all my variables values and they were all correct, but when it does not seem to work in the xfa.resolveNode ();

    I think that your problem is perhaps due to where in the hierarchy of your new object is located.  xfa.resolveNode starts its search at the top of the hierarchy of the shape and can not find the node if it is superimposed on the other object title and you do not have them in the path.

    However, there is a simpler way to do what you want without the resolveNode.  instanceManager.insertInstance returns the object that you insert, and you can access it directly.  Just do the following:

    newPage var = page.instanceManager.insertInstance (d, 0);

    newPage.presence = "visible";

    It depends on the type of license you have, as to whether you can transfer it or not.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.
