Calling a Script Object

I'm having some trouble calling a function with arguments froma a radio button click event in the main form. How can this be done?
This is the way i'm trying to do this now:
-Script Object code (path: xfa.form.variable.fun1):
function ex1(var1,var2){....}
-Call from the radio button click event:
xfa.form.form1.variable.fun1.ex1(var1,var2)
Thanx!

Hi,
What seems to happen when you remove a form object that has code that is currently executing is that it can't find the next line. You might want to put all your code in the script object.
so in the click event you have;
SOremove.fxremove(this);
Then your script object will start
function fxremove(button) {
    button.resolveNode('fifteenSubform._CorrectiveActionWrapper').removeInstance(button.parent.index);
    if (xfa.host.version < 8) {
        xfa.form.recalculate(1);
    console.println("The SOremove.fxremove fired");

Calling a Script Object after remove instance index[0]

     I have created a LiveCycle document that has a repeatable subform as url linked below. The form will not let me call a Script Object after removing an instance at index[0]. Regardless of the number of instances remaining. I use a script object to show and hide buttons. Adding an instance is not a problem. What to do?
Script on Delete Subform Button (Error):
xfa.form.recalculate(1);
this.resolveNode('fifteenSubform._CorrectiveActionWrapper').removeInstance(this.parent.ind ex);
if (xfa.host.version < 8) {
//deleteing a [0] index seems to create a problem for executing the function in this Script Object
SOremove.fxremove();

Script object in fragment not working?

I have a fragment that contains a script object and a text field. The text field's initialize event handler calls a method in my fragment's script object. Everything works fine in preview mode of the fragment.
When I create a new file and use the fragment in that file, the initialize event handler in my fragment is invoked just fine, but the method I'm trying to call in the script object in the fragment never fires. What I have looks like this:
File
- fragment
Fragment
- script object "Foo"
- someMethod()
- xfa.host.messageBox("Foo");
- text field::initialize
- xfa.host.messageBox('hello');
- Foo.someMethod();
When I preview the fragment, I get "hello" and "Foo" message boxes.
When I preview the file, I only get the "hello" message box.
Is what I'm trying to do possible?
Thanks,
Andy

When calling the script object that is embedded in the fragment you have to path specifically to that object. The scriptobjectName.method is not enough to find what you want. You would need FragmentName.ScriptObjectName.Method()
I tried it here and it worked.
You may want to use a script Fragment instead of using an embedded script object on a fragment. The script fragment would run in the form root context and would behave like you are expecting.

How to call a function from a different script object?

Hi All,
Here is the scenario,
I have 2 script objects A and B .
In script object A i have a function called "funcA" and
in script object B i have a function called "funcB"
Now I want to call funcA from funcB which is not happening.
I tried doing
A.funcA();
inside funcB , but not able to access.
Kindly help.
Thanks
Abhiram

Hi Abhiram,
Just a guess - try including the root node/node reference above the script object.
form1.A.funcA();
What does the JavaScript Console say when firing the function? Are there any errors?
Your script objects can contain multiple functions. So you could move funcA() and funcB() into the same script object. This will make it easier.

Using a script object

Hi,
I have beginner skills using LC Designer ES and am trying to insert and use a script object. I found a JavaScript function online: http://home.online.no/~pjacklam/notes/invnorm/impl/misra/normsinv.html and am trying to get it to do some math calculations in a Designer form.
I've uploaded a sample test form at: http://elearningprojects.com/TestFormula1.pdf
Can't get it to work.Trying to run the JS formula in the script object (by clicking on a button), using a few hard-coded variables, and display the results (Dprime1 and Dprime2) in 2 text fields.
I would much appreciate if someone can take a look and suggest how to get it working correctly.
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
saratogacoach

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your reply and suggestions. With beginner skills in LC Designer (I'm a retired social worker), I am not sure how to do this.
Is my identifying the script object path correct?
form1.#subform[0].#variables[0].SO1.function_name(NORMSINV(p));
When you say "You are calling this function a few times in your code so you will have to modify each call." I am not sure how to change this.
I currently have (note that I added the SO1. to the function calls):
var p = totalscore5
var probit1 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
var p = totalscore6
var probit2 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
var Dprime1 = probit1-probit2
var p = totalscore8
var probit3 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
var p = totalscore7
var probit4 = SO1.NORMSINV(p)
var Dprime2 = probit3-probit4
Can you specify what a modified script would look like? I'm stuck.
Also, have I set up displaying the Dprime1 variable's value in the TextField1 correctly?
Thanks very much for your help.

ExternalInterface.call problem with object-orientation

Hi
I am using an swf inside a PDF. In a PDF-context the ExternalInterface-class works much the same as it does within a website. So far calling a function in the document-script works.
The thing now is, that I really try to use an object-oriented approach as often as I can. In this case I have a function I could call using
var jsCaller:Object = ExternalInterface.call("myFunction",parameters);
This works as expected.
However, I have now made that function a method in an object, so I can access it within JS using dot-notation: myCoolObject.myFunction(); This works as well, so the problem is not the function itself. However, the call
var jsCaller:Object = ExternalInterface.call("myCoolObject.myFunction",parameters);
does not work.
This means there's either something I'm missing, or it's a limitation of ExternalInterface, or it's a limitation of externalInterface in a pdf-context.
Anyone to enlighten me?

If EI calls eval it should be able to resolve the object-path. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. Also note that my parameter is an array, so this probably wouldn't work, even if the syntax did.
Anyway, I tested your syntax in my PDF, and it showed the same behaviour as before (i.e. the function in which the EI-call was placed could not be executed, and acrobat claimed there was no such function). It didn't work with my normal function, and not even with a simple console.println-statement that way. So in PDFs it definitely doesn't work like that.
But thanks for the suggestion!

Calling powershell script from a batch file

Hello All,
I have a batch script that calls a powershell script. Before calling the script I set the execution policy to unrestricted, but when it gets to the line that calls the batch script i still get the confirmation in the command window: "Do you want to
perform this operation" I then have to press Y for the PS script to run and then my batch script finishes.
Does anyone know the setting I need to change in order to suppress the confirmation?
Note: this is Windows 8, see code below
set THIS_DIR=%~dp0
powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
powershell %THIS_DIR%MyScript.ps1 "param1"

I may sound like a jerk but you really want to look at PowerShell.exe /?

PowerShell[.exe] -Help | -? | /?
-PSConsoleFile
    Loads the specified Windows PowerShell console file. To create a console
    file, use Export-Console in Windows PowerShell.
-Version
    Starts the specified version of Windows PowerShell.
    Enter a version number with the parameter, such as "-version 2.0".
-NoLogo
    Hides the copyright banner at startup.
-NoExit
    Does not exit after running startup commands.

    Determines how output from Windows PowerShell is formatted. Valid values
    are "Text" (text strings) or "XML" (serialized CLIXML format).
-WindowStyle
    Sets the window style to Normal, Minimized, Maximized or Hidden.
-EncodedCommand
    Accepts a base-64-encoded string version of a command. Use this parameter
    to submit commands to Windows PowerShell that require complex quotation
    marks or curly braces.
-File
    Runs the specified script in the local scope ("dot-sourced"), so that the
    functions and variables that the script creates are available in the
    current session. Enter the script file path and any parameters.
    File must be the last parameter in the command, because all characters
    typed after the File parameter name are interpreted
    as the script file path followed by the script parameters.
-ExecutionPolicy
    Sets the default execution policy for the current session and saves it
    in the $env:PSExecutionPolicyPreference environment variable.
    This parameter does not change the Windows PowerShell execution policy
    that is set in the registry.
-Command
    Executes the specified commands (and any parameters) as though they were
    typed at the Windows PowerShell command prompt, and then exits, unless
    NoExit is specified. The value of Command can be "-", a string. or a
    script block.
    If the value of Command is "-", the command text is read from standard
    input.
    If the value of Command is a script block, the script block must be enclosed
    in braces ({}). You can specify a script block only when running PowerShell.exe
    in Windows PowerShell. The results of the script block are returned to the
    parent shell as deserialized XML objects, not live objects.
    If the value of Command is a string, Command must be the last parameter
    in the command , because any characters typed after the command are
    interpreted as the command arguments.
    To write a string that runs a Windows PowerShell command, use the format:
        "& {<command>}"
    where the quotation marks indicate a string and the invoke operator (&)
    causes the command to be executed.
-Help, -?, /?
    Shows this message. If you are typing a PowerShell.exe command in Windows

Calling GUI Scripting from ABAP program

Is it possible to call GUI Scripting from ABAP and thus to use GUI Scripting as an alternative to CALL TRANSACTION?
Is the class CL_JAVA_SCRIPT suitable to access GUI Scripting engine? Accessing ABAP data object would work as well in this case as i think. What SAP Logon and WAS releases are required? Is the 6.20 release sufficient for this case?
I would appreciate if somebody could post an example.

Hi,
CL_JAVA_SCRIPT has nothing to do with SAPGUI Scripting.
Calling SAPGUI Scripting API from ABAP could be possible for programmes experienced with OLE automation calls from ABAP coding.
The hardest thing will be, to access the scripting engine handle as an entry point. Once you have a handle in your abap session, any api function can be invoked.
Best regards
Jens
BTW: SAP testtool eCATT does call SAPGUI-Scripting from ABAP.

Calling SAP-script editor

Hi all,
I have to call one script editor with my own Text-id and text-object just like to enter header text and item text in VA01 transaction. This should be happen after pressing my own function code. Is there any possibility to do this.
Thanks in advance,
pavan

Hi,
You can't call your own Text editor from the std transaction VA01 just like that.
In that VA01 already lot of Texts at header and Item are predefined with the related OBJECT,ID,OBJECTNAME.
If you want you can create your own Std texts in SO10 Tcode and can call them in the Script using INCLUDE statment.
reward if useful

Insert Script Object?

In Acrobat Pro you can create a document script as follows:
function Hello()
app.alert("Hello World")
And call this Hello.
If you create button on the page then create an action on Mouse Up Run a JavaScript which looks like this:
Hello();
A message box appears saying Hello World click OK and press the button and it keeps coming back.
Now in Designer this is a little different.
I create a new page, insert a script object rename it to Hello and type:
function Hello()
app.alert("Hello World")
I then create a button and on the mouse up action type;
Hello();
If I try this I get the following mesaage:
TypeError: Hello is not a function
1:XFA:form1[0]:#subform[0]:Button1[0]:mouseUp
Why is it so?
Even removing the script object and going to the Form properties Variables tab and entering the function script there does not seem to work.

Thanks Steve,
It works without a hitch. Im still getting my head around JavaScript and 2 weeks, 6 hours a day of reading and testing and reading is slowly getting clearer I think.
Just to make sure Im getting this clear in my head. The way I had the script before was when it was applied to the field that showed the value it was referring to this as the field itself. So it worked not worries because it was point to the itself.
When I tried to apply the same script in a script object field (variables) that the whole documents can reference it was only in as a variable. The line form1.variables.setTotals.Totals(); did not do anything because it did not see the totals as a function and refer to it, and as a result nothing would appear in the filed. By adding obj to the script it tells the form that its an object and the objects formula is spei1 + spei2. This now means that the script can be applied to any filed and that is where form1.variables.setTotals.Totals(this); comes in. It tells the filed apply the object (Totals [spei1 + spei2] ) to this filed.
Does this mean that any script placed in the Variables field needs to be referred to as objects?
The reason I was taking this approach was to resolve a problem posted earlier.
I thought by having the script as a script object that was applied to the document rather than the field it would update the other fields that refer to it. Which I now realize will not happen. Could you suggest a conditional statement that I could put in to:
If special item 1 = $12.00 the result in the total = $12.00. If I then click on one of the fields in the special column say in Monday for example the result should be $12.00. If I then decide to enter another $12.00 in special item 2 the total will now be $24.00 but the Monday result will still say $12.00.
Is there a way to have it check that it the figure which may appear in the Special column, to update that result as well?
Should I be look at a message box instead telling the user there is a difference and for them to re-click on the Monday field to update it?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards, John.

Edit and Store a Script Object

Hi, All!
I know there must be a way to do this:
I want to be able to create a script based on user input and then store it for later use. Here's an example:
display dialog "How many beeps?" default answer "1"
set beepNum to text returned of result as string
script beeper
beep beepNum
end script
store script beeper in ((path to desktop as string) & "Beeper.scpt")
So, what I don't want is the stored script to need the variable to be defined.
So, say the user types in a 5. Then, I'd want the stored script to read "beep 5".
Thanks in advance!

I use a couple of tools for something similar, although they just paste handlers or code snippets into the front Script Editor document. The following script will compile script text to an application on your desktop:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the AppleScript Editor">
set theDesktop to quoted form of POSIX path of (path to desktop) -- this will be where the application is saved
-- a couple of example variables
tell (current date) to set theDate to (it's month) & " " & (it's day) & ", " & (it's year)
set theDescription to "osacompile example -- saves the specified script text as an application"
-- this is the script text - pay attention to quoting
set theScript to "
" & theDescription & "
created on " & theDate & "
on run -- example
set the clipboard to escapeString(the clipboard as string)
display dialog (the clipboard) with title \"Clipboard Contents\" buttons {\"OK\"} default button \"OK\" giving up after 5
end run
on escapeString(someText)
escapes a list of characters for an AppleScript string
parameters - someText [text]: some text to look at
returns [text]: the text with matching characters escaped
set someText to someText as text
-- set escapeList to {\"\\\\\", \"\\\"\"} -- backslash, quote
set escapeList to {ASCII character 92, ASCII character 34} -- backslash, quote
set escapedText to \"\"
repeat with theChar in (get characters of someText)
if theChar is in escapeList then set escapedText to escapedText & (ASCII character 92)
set escapedText to escapedText & theChar
end repeat
return escapedText
end escapeString
-- add a here-doc wrapper if not using a file
set theScript to "<<_script-contents_
" & theScript & "
_script-contents_"
do shell script "cd " & theDesktop & "; osacompile -o 'forum test.app' -t APPL " & theScript -- make it
</pre>
Since just saving a script object by itself won't do anything (additional code will be needed to run it or call it from another script), the sample text is one of the tools I use to escape AppleScript text strings - it replaces the contents of the clipboard with the escaped text. To test with other script text, just copy the text to the clipboard, run the escape tool, and paste into the theScript variable.

Calling (VB)activex object from JSP

Hi,
I am trying to call a ActiveX object from JSP using the ActiveXObject method in javascript. I have a dll filed named LPMSFunctions.dll which is registered and is being passed as an argument to the ActiveXObject method. Below is the code i am trying to execute..

alert("Inside LPMSFunction72");
alert(myobject.GetDocPath());
catch(e)
alert("Error");
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>When i write the above code and save it as an html file it works fine..the activex object is created and the methods are called , but when i copy the same code to a file and save it as jsp file under webapps folder under tomcat it doesnt work and reports a javascript error with the error being:
Automation server cant create the object at line :
var SSOObj = new ActiveXObject("LPMSFunctions72.LPFunctions72");
Please suggest how can I solve the problem. Your help would be sincerely appreciated.

You want to use the Variant to Data node, wiring in an ActiveX constant configured to the interface type you want.

Calling maxl scripts

hi,
can any one tell me who can we call a maxl script in between a sql quire or a procedure in a the shell scripts,
thanks,
pramodh.

I am not sure of what you are supposed to do.
But SQL script and Maxl script are two different objects.
you can call both from the shell script using respective command line utilities.
You can set the dependency to proceed to Maxl script based on the success criteria of SQL script.
To call Maxl script in the shell script is simple:
essmsh test.mxl
I hope you understand this.
