script to force highlights when the user opens the form?

I wonder if there is a way to ensure that the functionality of highlight in the reader is on when someone opens my form. This will help them see where they enter information. Can I include a script in my form for this?

Thank you for any assistance.

Hello

If you select the root / parent in the hierarchy (form1) and put the following in the docReady event javascript code:

app.runtimeHighlight = true;

This turn on the light blue shadow in all fields and give a red border for the required fields. It's a good idea to put the following text in the docClose event so that when the user opens a different form, the highest point is turned off.

app.runtimeHighlight = false;

Hope that helps,

Niall

  • How to get to 'leave the event' script to run again when the form with the data file is reopened?

    I've created an Adobe Dynamic XML using LiveCycle Designer form with many fields / subforms that are 'visible' or the 'hidden' according to the selected options of different menu drop-down lists. Also, the form has been activated to save. Users can successfully fill out the form and save a copy with the data that has been entered.

    The problem I have is that when the recorded file is opened again in the 'hidden' fields / subforms that were previously made visible by selecting the appropriate options in the drop-down list NOT displayed now. However if you make the same selections from each of the drop-down list shows still hidden ONCE the fields / subforms are displayed, and do not contain data that has been entered.

    The problem seems to be that the script that determines whether a field / subform is 'hidden' or 'visible' is a

    "<event activity="output" name="event__exit">" "

    that is followed by

    If (this.rawValue is '0')- (i.e. the value of the drop-down list)

    sfCompanyDetails.presence = "visible";

    sfRecruitmentAgency.presence = 'hidden ';

    etc, etc.

    and, therefore, it is not executed again when the file is reopened.

    Can someone advise please how do I do this?

    Hello

    Check if you enabled the "auto" option to keep the script changes in the properties of the form.

  • Can someone help me with a Code that allows you to hide all but the first few fields when the form opens

    My form has a section (subform) on top that is always open and then underneath it is dynamic and I want some subforms and sections to open based on users to input. I use action Builder to open the screen and have all the fields that are hidden, but I have too much subforms and must hide individually all subforms. Is there a code that allows you to hide all fields for me when the form opens, and then I can use action Builder to open just what I need based on a drop-down list button or radio?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Using LockAllFields of Paul's example, you could place the JavaScript code within the root node docReady event (normally 'form1').

    Please note that the last line is the presence of one of the subforms to visible return. Let's call it ShowThisSubform.

    // Declare some variables
    var allChildElements;
    var intNumElements;
    var currentElement;
    var j;
    
    // Get all the child nodes of the parent element (the root node/"form1")
    allChildElements = this.nodes; // "this" will use the element where the script is placed
    
    //Total number of element in the object
    intNumElements = allChildElements.length;
    
    // Loop through all the child elements
    for (j=0; j< intNumElements; j++) {
         currentElement = allChildElements.item(j);
         // If the element is a subform we'll hide it
         if (allChildElements.item(j).className == "subform") {
              allChildElements.item(j).presence = "hidden";
         }
    }
    
    // Show one of the subforms
    ShowThisSubform.presence = "visible";

  • Set the focus on the specific field when the form opens

    I use Acrobat Pro XI.  I would like for a specific domain focus when the form is opened.  Is there a form parameter or the Javasprict that should be used?  Where add Javascript code so that's the direction I must go?  Thank you.

    Yes, it can be done using a script. Go to tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and enter this code (adjust the name of the field as your file, of course):

    this.getField("FieldName").setFocus ();

  • Looking to run a script when the form gets focus

    Hello all flexers out there...
    I have an application that uses a tab navigator control that is embedded inside a tab navigator control. Basically, it gives me two rows of browsers tab which is really cool. My problem, well my flex related question, is that I want to trigger a code when I select one of the tabs in the browser built-in tab control.

    I tried to use the indicator of activation in the header tag but who does not have the first time the form is opened, more it will always fire when the browser loses focus. I tried the indicator initialization, but this event only fires when the form is created first and before all the data is passed to the form. The creationComplete triggers once and it was after that the form is created the first time, but before that any data sent to it.

    Grrr... I need to initialize a few combo boxes, but I only want to run the Action Script when the form gets the focus and I need to have the data available before running the script. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Thanks for the tip of Tracy, but the change event fired off so many times, I stop counting until I killed my debugging session.

    After reviewing all the events in the model itself, I finally started to recede in the code. It turned out that the show in the canvas that called the 2nd tab navigator works best.

    There is one thing about Flex that makes me just batty. The way in which things are called and the number of times where things sometimes called in Flex doesn't make much sense at all. I think we should clean up the sequence of events in Adobe Flex! I keep seeing all kinds of events fire off several times and I can't understand why. Well the show solved this problem for me!

  • deleted rows are raised when the form is reopened

    I have a form that allows users to add and remove lines om a table.  It works fine even if the user's display and the change of form, but when the form is saved and then re-opened, previously deleted rows return.  How can I make sure that my deleted rows are deleted?

    Remove the script to click to the button reads:

    this.parent.instanceManager.removeInstance (this.parent.index);

    Thank you for an overview of what is originally deleted rows reappear when the document is reopened.

    Noam

    This problem has been resolved by associating a schema to the form which enabled the form to save the State.

  • How can I get rid of zero in a calculated field when the form is empty?

    I made a form that prompts the user to enter data for specific years.  At the top of the form, the user places in the current year, i.e. 2000.  Column copy this year here, the second column adds five years and the third column adds 10 years.  I managed to create a simple script for each of these columns (so that when 2000 came; columns a, b, and c appear as 2000, 2005 and 2010) but when the form is empty a zero appears in the first cell, a 5 appears in the second cell and a 10 appears in the third cell.  I want the completely empty form so as to not confuse the person when they begin to enter data.  How can I write a custom script to eliminate the numbers in calculated fields?

    I would use a script for calculating customized for each of these fields. Something like:

    Calculation for reference year script

    (function () {}

    Get the value of the WCPYear field

    var v = getField("WPCYear").valueAsString;

    Set the value of this field. The value empty if WCPYear is empty

    Event.Value = v? v : "";

    })();

    Calculation script for field goal 5 years

    (function () {}

    Get the value of the WCPYear field

    var v = getField("WPCYear").valueAsString;

    Set the value of this field. The value empty if WCPYear is empty

    Event.Value = v? +v + 5 : "";

    })();

    Calculation script for the 10-year target field

    (function () {}

    Get the value of the WCPYear field

    var v = getField("WPCYear").valueAsString;

    Set the value of this field. The value empty if WCPYear is empty

    Event.Value = v? + v + 10 : « » ;

  • Block of detail automatically updated when the form is saved

    Hello

    I have a form with 2 blocks of tabular data (1 master and 1 retail).

    The retail block also contains a non-base of data element, a checkbox control. User can check or uncheck this box for each record in the detail block.

    My problem is, when the user changes something in the main block and saves (by pressing F10 or by clicking on save button), box block of retail values are lost.

    For a test, I created a trigger validation key at the level of the main block: I iterates over the detail records to collect values of checkboxes before doing a commit_form (the goal was to restore checkbox values right after), but even at this stage the check boxes are all null as if the retail block has already been re-populated and of course non-base of data items reset before the trigger validation key is enabled.

    What Miss me. It is a detail of a relationship block master / detail is updated when the form is saved standard? What are the alternatives to keep/restore my values of checkboxes in this situation?

    Sure. Before your submit order add a command run JavaScript with this code:

  • Fields disappear when the form is saved

    I have a RMA form that was created that we are having problems with. It is set up to serve the 3 potential situations.

    1 back in stock

    2 return to rebuild

    3. other

    The form is set to where the user selects one of the three options in a menu drop-down, and that the selection and then makes visible some relevant areas to this choice. This part of the form works fine. However, when the form is saved, the fields disappear. If you select the appropriate choice in the drop down, fields reappear with height of information yet on the list.

    Is there an option that must be selected which will keep the visible fields after the backup? The current workaround is to print to PDF, but I find many people who do not know how, or are not ready.

    Any ideas?

    I got rid of the action of generator of action that produces more than 50 lines of code. I also wrapped your groups for return and reconstruction in subforms. So now instead of reference each object, simply reference the two subforms.

  • How can I change the license to CS6 to a new computer to be updated when the former disappeared.

    How can I re CS6 license to a new computer to be updated when the former disappeared. I work in a secure facility and all computers do not have an internet connection. I'm used to be able to activate offline. but now activation invalid response code invalid serial No. says offline. I was on a chat with someone at Adobe, I guess, and they said that they did not support offline activation more. So, if I can't activate my copy 7 cs6 my company is thousands of dollars.  Can anyone help

    Joe

    Consider that it is licensed to the company? If so your IT people should have a way to apply activation during the installation code, but my IT group did this, so I don't really know details. I know that Adobe has stopped support for licenses of the company last June, I think. However, you should be able to get an answer on how to do this, since you have paid for the software. I will pass this message on the forum of company CS to see if anyone knows more than the person with whom you spoke.

  • need help on submit action when the form in HTML rendering

    When the FORM is rendered in HTML format, the Send button does not work,

    Here are the steps I performed in my existing XDP form.

    (1) added a button to the XFA object form dom

    2) gave the following properties for the button send in the object palette

    (a) selected the Type of Contron as run

    (b) gave a REST breakpoint in the Button property

    data packet XDP Selected c) as the type of shipment

    (d) selected UTF-8 as the type of coding of data

    3) I made the form in the browser (not in the workspace container), but by directly applying the profile with the url XFAFORMS http://localhost: 8080/lc/content/xfaforms/profile/default/html? contentRoot = repositor / / / pat h to the XDP file & template = file name

    (4) by clicking on the button send the form, the following error is thrown, please let me know where I'm wrong in the approach to invoke a REST call the end point of process

    "Error 500: DSCError: ComponentID = DSC ErrorCode = 122 MinorCode = 0 = parameter Input Message: {2} not found on the operation: {0}. {1} ErrorMessage: input parameter: {2} not found on the operation: {0}. {1}.

    Greetings-

    Ashok D

    Guys, the reason I was not able to send my form to the endpoint process was because I had designed the process to take an xml as input by the formData variable name, and it seems that the invocation of the REST of the HTML form sends the data as a map of the string.

    I changed my process to make a map as input as input instead of XML parameter and recovered the form data in the plan in the process.

    Steps of the

    (1) create a process with a variable of type of strings as input sheet

    (2) create your form and include the http submit button and provide the url of the endpoint REST as input for the button send or include a simple button and select the category that submit and provide the necessary entries in the tab submit.

    (3) in the process, use an execute event and get the value of the input as a string with the following expression data

    Map[@data]

    (4) converts the string into XML and use in your process.

    Greetings-

  • How to NOT send some form data when the form is submitted

    Hello

    I created a PDF form with radio buttons in the Group and the boxes. When I the form of data, such as values using the submit by e-mail button to send form data as XML or merge data into a spreadsheet files, I'll see the data values for radio buttons and checkboxes.

    What I want here is to don't get the data values for some controls such as the boxes option, but no other controls like check boxes, in the XML or Excel worksheet after submission of the form. I know how to hide the controls in the form, but I have to the visible and active boxes on the form.

    Is there a way to hide or do not send form data when the form data is submitted?

    Thank you

    Sam

    Hi Kyle,.

    That's exactly what I want! Once I have not selected any data binding, the field is in shape and active, but when submitted as XML or it merge with a spreadsheet, the field is gone.

    Forgive me if I didn't my self clear in my question. Answer you is straight to the point.
