Force the user to fill in a field

I work in Acrobat Pro ms.

I have a combo (DepartAnswer) that contains the Yes or no choice. If the user chooses No., they go to the next field. If they choose Yes 2 text fields appear; one that is read-only, with the default text of:-store up to: the second field (AvailDate) is blank for the user to put a date.

What has been asked of me is having the AvailDate field to be a required field, if the user chose Yes, then it must be a date in the field of the AvailDate. This form is sent by e-mail via a button and they do not want the form by e-mail without this domain (AvailDate) completed - not by tabs above and left empty.

Is it possible to force a user to complete this field before moving on?

-Yes, you are using mailDoc.

-No, this is not correct. You can use this code to do it:

//cToAddr is the e-mail address you are sending to
var cToAddr = ""

//cSubLine is the Subject line with the name of the employee the 24-2812 pertains to
var cSubLine = "24-2812 - " + this.getField("DD1").value + " for " + this.getField("Text2").value + ", " + this.getField("Dropdown6.0").value;

//this produces the e-mail
this.submitForm({cURL: "mailto:" + cToAddr + "?subject=" + cSubLine, cSubmitAs: "PDF"});

-Using the above code they will not be able to submit the record unless they have completed all the fields required first.

  • Force the user to fill out an interface of the window before closing

    Hi all

    We already have an application written in Labwindows and we need to change to the new requirements. According to this condition, the user must provide more information before proceeding with the application. The idea is a popup window and force the user to include the information in this window. I have two questions here:

    -How can I prevent the user to close the second window before entering anything (something like the concept of modal window)? He should be able to access first window that after he clicks ok in the second window, out per second.

    -How to pass values between the two windows?

    Thank you

    Kanu

    Hi Kanu,

    These issues concern some fundamental concepts in CVI, you need to study or refresh.

    As you may know, the simpler you have a modal window in CVI is to use InstallPopup after loading the Panel: is the guarantee that the user cannot access other panels before closing the popup panel (Finally, there are other ways and a few caveats to my assertion, but let's first passing the simplest).

    When the user clicks OK, close or no matter what button place you on this Panel, you need to retrieve the value of the relevant controls with GetCtrlVal, validate them some way according to the nature of the control and your needs and only if it is valid, close the Panel with DiscardPanel (or RemovePopup if you need to reuse and don't want to reload).

    Passage of the second round table data is done via SetCtrlVal.

    As you can see, these are very general concepts, which may or may not apply to your application. In case you have doubts please add some details to your question.

  • Need a script to alert the user to fill in another field

    Hello

    I have a drop-down list labeled certifications. In fact, I have 9 of them. called certifications1 and so on. Anyway I need something that detects if the user selects the Bill called pro forma menu item that has a small window reminding them to ensure that Receivers and e-mail name is entered. That's all I'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    According to your drop-down setting, there are two different ways to refer to the modified value.

    If you use only 'list items' scripts will be;

    If (xfa.event.newText == "proforma invoice") {}
    xfa.host.messageBox ("make sure that the name and email is entered");
    }

    If you use "Element to specify values" with "items in the list", the scripts will be;

    If (this.boundItem (xfa.event.newText) == '1') {}
    xfa.host.messageBox ("make sure that the name and email is entered");
    }

    both scripts will change event of falling down into javascript.

  • 'forcing' the user for text input prior to the presentation?

    I want to "force" users to enter text in three fields of text separated on a side box before you click on a click (on the bottom of the slide) box to continue the presentation. There is no "submit" button for each of the text boxes because there are three variables separated on the page, one for each text box, and I don't want a user to click on 'send' three times, once for each text box. I only want the user to fill out all three text fields before continuing with the presentation. As it is now, with three text boxes in a slide, the user can avoid entering any text all and simply click the box click to continue.

    Is there a nice advanced for this action? JavaScript?

    Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

    Thanking you in advance!

    Can be done with advanced actions, but first I need to know if you can force the sequence for the ETB? You do not want a "submit" button, but the entry in BER must be confirmed by the user, or by a button "submit" a shortcut key. Now you can't use the same shortcut to multiple interactive objects, so if you assign an entry as a shortcut key this is possible only for BER. My workflow, if you can force the sequence, is to put the button submit to the first TEB, made transparent and without any text inside, on top of the second TEB (the field itself), so that when the user clicks this area to the second entrance, at the same time it confirms the entry for the first TEB.

    I've been blogging about multiple submit BER with a button (just remembered it):

    Several TEB with a Submit button

    Like to check if the user has entered something in ETB, you need a tip action and a v_null variable empty user. I blogged about this kind of variable user as well (sorry for all the links, but you can find a lot more explanation here):

    Where there is no

    You can put the button next up, but leave it to trigger a tip action that checks to see if one of the ETB has value = v_null and in this case show a warning text legend. If none is set to = v_null you go to the next page

  • How to force the user to just key 4-digit password

    I use 4.0 (4) worm. The account policy > phone password restriction > phone password length. It only can set min length, can we set the maximum length as well?

    Thank you

    No - that's done on purpose. If hackers know the length of your PW it makes it much easier for them to break--as such unit (unlike some of our competitors) always forces the user to close the entrance with a number or a timeout until the validity check is performed.

  • Force the Image to fill the screen when the user resizes the window

    I use flex and actionscript to create a site of photographer and I want the bottom to display an image that completely covers the bottom without distortion.  I tried just an image tag and characterized by the width and height to 100%, but the problem comes when the screen looks wider than the photo.  Thus, the height is reduced to 100% and the width is something less.  I would have rather it evolve according to what is most important, that is, if the window is too wide, the photo with a width of 100% on the scale and let the excess off the screen.  In this way, the photo is still cover the screen and there is no background color of distractrating showing.

    I was counting on the use of actionscript to indicate the width and height of the image so that I can compare it to the height and width of the window, but it seems that you can not get the dimensions of the photo.  I use application.width and application.height, but I need a way to compare it to the photo.  Also, is there an eventlistener that I should use to monitor when the user resizes the window or image resizing will be done automatically?

    Thanks for your comments,

    Tim

    The application container inherit "resize" event of UIComponent.

    Application.application.Width will give you the size of the application in the browser window.

    Thus,.

    function myResizer() {}

    img1. Width = Application.application.width;

    }
