App Alert

Hi all:  In Adobe Acrobat, I could create a button with an app. alert that would give the users some sort of information or instruction.  Is this possible in Adobe LiveCycle Designer?  How would one create an button with an app. alert message to instruct users how to use a specific item on the form?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional
Connie

Thanks!  It worked like a charm.

  • Need Help In Displaying Numberic Values In app.alert

    How can I display a two placed decimal value in an app.alert, correctly?
    app.alert("Invalid  - " + this.getField("Sub-Total-2").value, 1);
    In the above alert, Sub-Total-2 is defined with 2 decimal places, within its Text Field Properties. But if its value is 2.50, it is displayed as 2.5 from within the alert. And still othertimes, its value is displayed values such as 56.33333333, when it should display 56.40

  • Javascript query and app alert message

    Hi there,
    I wonder if someone could please help with a query I have re a button I have that checks that all required fields have been completed? If required fields are not completed one message is displayed and when all required fields have been completed another message is displayed. I'm a scriptingnovice but have sort of figured out what I want to do (it seems to work anyway!) . The problem I have now is that I want to change the text in the app alert from "Warning: Javascript Window". Is this possible? I'd also like to remove the big x from the app alert when all fields have been completed and the button is clicked by the user. Please find my script below.
    Any advice and help would be much appreicated.
    Thanks,
    Ken
    form1.#subform[0].#area[0].Button1::click - (JavaScript, client)
    if (form1.execValidate() == false){
         app.alert("You have not completed out all of the required fields of the form. Please complete the required fields.")
    if (form1.execValidate() == true){
         app.alert("You have completed all of the required fields. Please proceed to submit this form by email.")

    Switch to the XFA scripting model (xfa.host.messageBox) from the Acroform scripting model (app.alert). You can alter the dialogue box title and icons (although I think you can with app.alert but I cannot remember).
    See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/index.htm. Drill into the help. The messageBox object is explained in Scripting Methods.

  • App.Alert for "Save As" Actions

    Hi,
    I am trying to set up an app.Alert for the "Save As" menu action. I do not want the alert to appear when the User "Saves", only on "Save As".
    The app alert will be a warning, with an "OK" button, allowing the User to proceed with the "Save As" process.
    Thanks in advance,
    Niall

    Hi,
    Would anyone have any solutions for this problem?
    I have put in script to objects, but not within the inner workings of Lifecycle Designer.
    I need to get this Warning Message working for Save As event.
    Any help gratefully received.

  • Xfa.host.messageBox or app.alert not working some machines

    Hi,
    We've a PDF form with alert messages on a button click. We've written a function in a script object which is called on button click. This PDF is working fine on most of the machines but does not work few machines. On all machines, we have same adobe reader version (9.4.0). The machines with this problem have similar configuration as others (windows XP, no other adobe software installed etc.). When we look at the javascript console, it gives messages like the function is not available. What could be the issue here. I think if we reinstall/repair the adobe reader, probably it will resolve the issue. But before doing that we want to understand what exactly the problem could be. Has anybody seen this error before?
    Thanks
    Ram

    That's odd...
    Does that same happen with a blank template containing nothing but a button with a click event:
    app.alert("click");

  • Removing auto text in app.alert window title bar

    I added the following JS to a button and it works perfectly. Almost! I'm still getting the automatic text "Warning: JavaScript Window-" showing in the title bar. Is there a way to clear this and only show my custom text?
    app.alert ("List specific services and service levels that are legislated (reference applicable legislation).\n\n" + "For example, one long term care bed in rented facility.", 3, 0, "Legislated Mandatory Service Requirements");

    Sounds like you are maximising the window. You might want to look at using full-screen exclusive mode:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/extra/fullscreen/index.html
    This has advantages over just maximising the window as the painting system can ignore the windows painting system and actively draw directly to the screen. Theres also stuff in the tute about taking advantage of page-flipping, controling the bitdepth, resolution etc.
    If you're already using this please ignore this post.
    Hope this helps

  • App.alert show over and over after each keystroke

    I am preparing a pdf form for my department in which doctors will need to quantify the amount of tracer found in 17 heart arteries. The amount of tracer in the patient will be compared when the patient is under stress and when he is at rest.
    Then it will calculate the sum of the 17 scores at stress (SSS) and the sum of the score at rest (SRS), and then will calculate the difference between the 2 scores (SDS).
    The rationale is that the score of each 17 segments at rest cannot (should not) be higher than the score at stress, however under a few circumstances this can happen. But to be sure that the user knows it's abnormal, it will tell that it should not be like that, and need to agree this is the case.
    The problem is that if this happen, each keystroke thereafter will re-trigger the question. How can I make sure that once it asks the question for that particular segment, it will not ask it again?
    The other issue is that in these rare cases, we still want to collect what should be the answer if this didn't happen. So I created another set of score at rest (these will be hidden on the final form, but left it there so I can see the results during the design of the form) that should copy the results of the raw data. But in the case of when the rest score is higher than the stress score, it will take the stress value. The problem is that it calculates the SRS one stroke late. How do I fix this?
    Here is a link to my form.
    Dropbox - Sample Perfusion form.pdf

    // The Fieldname shoud have the following hierarchy-Name-Format
    // It's important in my case that the naming of the fields for stress and rest perfussion have the follwing format: "Part1.Part2.99 " (Parent-Child-Format)
    // sample:
    // "Feld.sss.10", "Feld.sss.11"........"Feld.sss.27"
    // "Feld.srs.10", "Feld.srs.11"........"Feld.srs.27"
    // for this code its important that the last to char have two digits: 01 intead of 1, 02 instead of 2 etc..
    // Better you begin with 10 and 11,12,13..27
    // The other three result fields a named xsss, xsrs, xsds.
    // The two raw field, i didn't make. You must describe in more detail.
    // This is the main core. The rest is very little and easy.

  • Form app.alert help

    So I have this custom formating script:
    // Custom format script for text field
    if (!event.value) {
        event.value = event.target.userName;
        event.target.display = display.noPrint;
        event.target.textColor = color.red;
    } else {
        event.target.display = display.visible;
        event.target.textColor = color.black;
        event.value = util.printx("99-9999999", event.value);
    if (event.value.length !=10) {
    event.value = "";
    app.alert("Tax ID # does not have the required 9 numbers!", 0, 0)
    So if you don't input the right format and hit tab then the little app alert pops up and after you click okay it moves you to the next field (since you hit tab).
    My question is how to make it if the app.alert is executed then to make the previous tab request null and keep you in the field that caused the app alert to pop up?
    I hope that makes sense if not let me know and I'll try to clarify.

    The alert doesn't do any checks, it just shows an alert. If you mean that you want to make sure the user entered exactly 9 numbers, you would need to change the last part of the code to something like this:
    if (event.value.length != 9) {
    event.value = "";
    app.alert("Tax ID # does not have the required 9 numbers!", 0, 0)
    event.target.setFocus();
    } else {
    event.value = util.printx("99-9999999", event.value);

  • Upgraded to ios7 and now 'slide to unlock' no longer brings me right to text or app alert that just came in. Is there a setting I am missing?

    Before I upgraded to ios7 whenever I got a text or an app alert ( for instance: my turn in words with friends) I would 'slide to unlock' and first screen to come up would be that text or that app. Now that I have ios7 it just brings me to last screen visible before 'sleep' mode... is there a way to bring back that feature??

    Awesome Glad we figured it out!

  • The Maverick Calendar App-Alert Option-to Open a File-stops working after a few days

  • 3rd party app alerts no longer show up in the notification center

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 last week and ever since alerts for 3rd party apps (like gmail and others) haven't been showing up in the notification center.  I've checked my settings for both the notification center and for my individual apps to make sure they weren't reset, made sure my apps were up to date (not all of them have had updates since iOS7 was released but some definitely have), tried toggling them on and off and rebooting, but so far nothing has helped.  The banner alerts work, but nothing pops up in the notifications.  Has anyone else experienced this or have any other ideas how to fix it?
    I've generally been pretty pleased with the new version of iOS, but I'm hating everything about the changes made to the notification center.  Even if I do get my notifications to work again, I hate that we're forced to have that "Today" tab even if you switch the summaries off!  I like the unified page from iOS6 much better.

    Hi cyn999!
    I have an article that can help address this question:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
    As you can see in the screenshot, the weather does show up in the notification center, but it is in text form instead of icon form in iOS 7. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Receive email and app alerts -- but no new updates

     I'm using the MyFico 3B monitoring, and several times, I have received an email and/or app notification of a new alert.. However, when I view my alerts on either the app or the myfico website, there are no new alerts.  Example:6/29/2015 5:39 PMDear .....,Account change has been detected in your Experian data.Please log in to view the details. In my alerts, there is nothing new since Jun 27... And nothing new from Experian since Jun 26, which was already viewed and I received a separate notification for. Whats the deal? Thanks,Rick 

    I have the same situation, and i frankly perplexed.Yesterday I had a lrge point drop, but there was no explanation as to why. And I have nothing negative that should have happened or changed. Furthermore, I am signed up for Experien's Credit Watch and last week on 6/24 my score on there went up, but on MyFico, there's been NO change. I'm not happy.

  • Issue with SQL query of Oracle Apps Alert

    Why there are 2 into clauses? You need to change your query to fetch all columns first and then use into to fetch into variables.
