Change caption numeric field

I have a form with at least 2 radio buttons named type1 and type2 and on 2 different pages 2 numeric fields NF[0] and NF[1], the binding of NF is global.
if I select the radiobutton type1 then the caption of NF[0] and NF[1] should change into "Type1" and visa versa
I have the following javascript text in the change of the radiobuttonlist:
if (this.rawValue == 1)
xfa.form.form1.test.NF.caption.value.text.value = "type1";
else if (this.rawValue == 2)
xfa.form.form1.test.NF.caption.value.text.value = "type2";
this only changes the caption of NF[0], how do I change the caption of NF[1]??
best wishes
Simone

You can change it with the names that you have but the syntax of the expression is quite confusing:
xfa.resolveNode("xfa.form.form1.test.NF[1]").caption.value.text.value = "type2"
If you rename the field to a unique name then you can set it like the first one:
xfa.form.form1.test.NFnewName.caption.value.text.value = "test2"
Note that you do not need the xfa.form at the beginning of the expression ....so to simplify it woudl be:
form1.test.NFnewName.caption.value.text.value = "test2"

How Do You Change A Numeric Field To Blank When Zero?

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional, version 6.0.6.
Can anyone help me with the code to change a numeric field to blank, when "0.00"?

"no success" does not provide much to go on.
With your scripts, I get the concatenation of the sting values, so one has to force JavaScript to convert strings to numbers.
Make sure your field names are exact including case.
Make sure the calculation order is correct.
The following scripts all work:
var fa = 1 * this.getField("FeeN01").value;
var fb = 1 * this.getField("FeeN02").value;
var fc = 1 * this.getField("FeeN03").value;
event.value = fa + fb + fc;
if ((event.value == 0)) {
event.value = ""
// or
var fa = this.getField("FeeN01").value / 1;
var fb = this.getField("FeeN02").value / 1;
var fc = this.getField("FeeN03").value / 1;
event.value = fa + fb + fc;
if ((event.value == 0)) {
event.value = ""
// or
var fa = Number(this.getField("FeeN01").value);
var fb = Number(this.getField("FeeN02").value);
var fc = Number(this.getField("FeeN03").value);
event.value = fa + fb + fc;
if ((event.value == 0)) {
event.value = ""
The "sum of" also works with the "Custom validation script" of:
if (event.value == 0) event.value = "";

Adobe changes my numeric field to include commas when validation fails

Adobe changes my numeric field to include commas when validation fails. My numeric validation setting is num{zzzzzzz9.99}. I want my numeric field to display as 99999999.00, no commas and only to have 2 decimals places. I added this validation to the Display, Edit, Validation and Data tabs under the validation pattern dialog box.
When validation fails, adobe changes the display of the field to include commas and drops the decimal places:
999,999,999
How can I prevent this from happening? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
I've also added a change event to the field as well:
\\only allows numbers and period.
if (xfa.event.newText.match(/[^0-9.]/))
xfa.event.change = "";
\\only allows 11 characters to be entered.
var maxLength = 11;
if(xfa.event.newText.length >maxLength)xfa.event.change = "";

I want it to display only numbers followed by 2 decimal places.
999999999.00
If I type all numbers in my field like 999999999999 and I go over the character limit of 11. My validation fails and then my numeric field is displayed with commas, 999,999,999 without the 2 decimal places. Is there a way to prevent adobe from automatically changing my fields?

Is it possible to use the status of a checkbox to change the fillcolor of a numeric field?

I have read through most all of the threads, but found none pertaining to my specific question. I would like to change the fillcolor of a numeric field based upon the status (on/off) of a checkbox located on a different page. In other words, if the checkbox is checked I want the numeric field to be yellow with a solid (thin) black border. I have tried:
If (CheckBox1.rawValue="1")
{this.fillcolor="R,G,B";} else
{this.fillcolor="250,250,250"};
I haven't gotten the correct RGB values yet for the color I am using, that is why the script has "R,G,B"
I am pretty new at javascript and have been learning a lot from the forums, but I just can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Give this a go...
// form1.page1.cb::click - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == 1) {
xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.nf.ui.#numericEdit.border.fill.color").value = "255,255,0";
form1.page1.nf.border.edge.color.value = "0,0,0";
else {
xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.nf.ui.#numericEdit.border.fill.color").value = "255,255,255";
form1.page1.nf.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
Don't forget to make your form a dynamic form.

Dynamically change the pattern of numeric field in adobe

I am using a adobe form to display Sales order ouput.
I have a requirement that for some kind of sales order the quantity field should be displayed with 2 decimal places and for some with 4 decimal places.
So i have made the field in the form with display pattern = z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99
and writing a FromCalc script as below.
if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
Format ("z,zzz,zzz,zz9.9999", data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.value)
endif
i also tried
if ( z_mix eq "X" ) then
data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.format = "z,zzz,zzz,zz9.99"
endif
The problem is i am not able to understand what statement to be used to change the format of a numeric field.
When i replace the second code with
data.MainSubform.ItemTable.ItemGroup.Items.KWMENG.presence = "hidden"
this functionality works. Which means i need to correct statement for pattern change of a numeric field.

Or if somebody can provide me with alternative solution is also welcom.
My requirement is a quanity field in the adobe form would be displaying either with 2 decimal place or 4 decimal place based on some condition.

Change the style of a numeric field when his value is 0

I need show a numeric field in some reports with color red and italic font, but only when the value of number is low than zero. In another case the text must be normal. Is really possible do that? That applies to section details or final summaries.
Many thanks for the help.

Hi
To make your number filed in Red :
Right click on the field and go in format field click on Font tab and go in Color formula editor and give the following formula :
If Sum(fieldValue} < 0 Then CrRed else CrNoColor
Now go in Style formula editor and give the following :
if sum() < 0 then Critalic
This will make your field red and italic when it is less than 0
Thanks,
Sastry

Changing width of a numeric field

Hi,
I have a table with numeric fields in the table cells.
I want it to look like this:
Item1 (numeric field box) %
Item2 (numeric field box) %
Item3 (numeric field box) %
Item4 (numeric field box) %
I can't seem to limit the lenght of the field from the right small enough to fit 2 characters, it snaps to the width of the table cell. Then I want to put the % symbol after the field.
You can move the field smaller from the left though.
I tried to split the table cell, but when I select in the table cell, it just selects the numeric field and the options for splitting the table cell are grayed out under the table menu?
Thanks!

Somehow on your form it worked in another way than in mine.
Put this javascript on exit:
if (this.rawValue > 100 || this.rawValue < 1)
{this.rawValue = null;}
if (this.rawValue <= 100 && this.rawValue >= 1)
{this.rawValue = this.rawValue / 100;}
this one on enter:
if (this.rawValue != null && this.rawValue <= 1)
this.rawValue = this.rawValue * 100;
this pattern on the first heading (or whatever it is called):
num{z9%}
and this pattern on the second:
num{zz}
If the user enters anything that is no integer between 1 and 100 it will delte the value. (You won't need to prohibit anything with the lenghts of the field.)
Edit: If you want you can also add a error message which tells the user that the number he has to write into it has to be between 1-100.

Connecting selection of radio button to a text or numeric field

Hi. I am using LiveCycle Designer 8.0 and I am trying to define object properties that will allow the selection of a radio button to populate in a numeric data field at the bottom of the page. I was able to write the script to have that happen with drop-down lists, but I can't figure out how to write the script for the radio button. I also don't know if the script is supposed to apply to the radio button itself or the numeric field where I want the result to show-up. Can you please help me with some sort of an example script? Thanks.

Hi Jen,
I would recommend that you amend your workspace in Designer. You can show/hide palettes from the Window menu.
Here are some pointers (which are optional):
This is the hierarchy palette and is very handy when working with forms. You can select objects quickly and drag objects around.
This is the Object palette, which makes it easy to drag objects onto the page.
The main space with tabs for Design View, Master Pages, XML Source (you should not need this) and Preview.
You can select objects in EITHER the page or the hierarchy view and then change properties in other palettes.
The Script Editor is very important when you start to add functionality to your form. It is visible on your screen shot, but it is limited to one line in height. So I would recommend that you drag this down so that you can see a few lines of script. The Show dropdown in the Editor allows you to look at the script in various events. In the example I posted, there is script in the click event.
Object palette (and Font & Paragraph palettes). These will allow you to make changes to various properties, depending on the object that is selected.
You will see from the screenshot that you can position and stack the palettes to suite your screen and workflow.
Now, in relation to your screenshot:
You have selected a single radio button in your group. You need to select the whole exclusion group, this is easy in the hierarchy palette.
In the Object > Binding palette you have ticked the Specify Item Values (good), but you need to edit the values to match the Display Items. For example for item "$85", the specified value should be "85".
For starters, I would recommend that you open a few of the palettes and then have a look at my example and the screenshots. Hopefully that will clear it up for you.

Format of numeric field cannot retain via Live Office

In Webi, I changed the format of an numeric field to 2 decimal places. When I retrieved this field to Excel via Live Office, I found the format of 2 decimal places cannot be retained. It ended up displayed in 1 decimal places.
I found when a webi report exported to Excel, the format can be retained.
Does anyone know if this is a product design or product issue? Thanks.
Regards,
Gloria

Hi Gloria,
I had a look at this in XI release 3.0 and received the same issue. The only way I could get this to work was to use the FormatNumber() method. This returns the value as a string, which live office represents with the trailing 0.
So if the cell value was 12345.6, then FormatNumber([my cell]; "#,##0.00") will display 12345.60. This will display correctly in Excel (except that it is justified as text) when brought in by live office.
This more of a work around than a fix, so you may want to raise a case.
Regards

Since LV 8.0 or so the cursor display window of a graph indicator seems to be a tree control. I couldn't find where to change the numeric format of the numbers displayed in that control. What did I miss?

Maybe I'm not clear on what your looking for but I just use a property node and route the raw cursor data out to what ever function I want to run on it, then display it in a seperate field. The nice thing with the property node is you can have multiple graphs linked together by one set of cursors all with different readouts.
Yes, of course that's an option and I guess I'll have to do it that way.
The point is that I converted a pre-LV-8.x program to LV 8.5. In the program I had used the coordinates display field in the cursor legend to display the position, just the was the cursor legend is supposed to be used, IMO. And in pre-LV-8.x days it was possible to customize the numeric format property of the cursor legend (either directly or by property nodes). It seems that with LV 8.x NI chose to use a treeview control for the cursor legend. With that 'improvement' the numeric formatting flexibility was lost since now the conversion to the string content in the cursor legend's treeview is happening somewhere 'under the hood'.
<rant> Why do they (NI) always try to 'improve' things (where nothing needs be improved) and sacrifice functionality on the way....? </rant>

At new- command - making non-numeric fields as ******* how to correct this

Hi,
I am using the following code.
Tables : vbap.
DATA: t_vbap TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF vbap,
      x_vbap TYPE vbap.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-000.
SELECT-OPTIONS: s_vbeln FOR vbap-vbeln.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT * FROM vbap
    INTO TABLE t_vbap
    WHERE vbeln IN s_vbeln.
LOOP AT t_vbap INTO x_vbap.
    at new vbeln.
      write:'new vbeln'.
      ENDAT.
ENDLOOP.
In debugging mode, the non-numeric fields on x_vbap becomes ****
I want to know whether this can be done using oops.. any methods available for at new

see documentation:
"If the INTO addition is used in the LOOP statement to assign the content of the current line to a work area wa, its content is changed upon entry into the AT-ENDAT control structure as follows:
The components of the current control key remain unchanged.
All components with a character-type, flat data type to the right of the current control key are set to character "*" in every position.
All the other components to the right of the current control key are set to their initial value.
When the AT-ENDAT control structure is exited, the content of the current table line is assigned to the entire work area wa. "

Numeric fields not aligned correctly in report preview

Hi
I have the next problem:
On my report, I aligned the numeric fields to the right of a column, but when i run the preview on ASP, the numeric fields are aligned to the left.
But when I export the report to PDF, the numbers align correctly.
I figured out a workaround to this, introducing the numeric fields into text fields, since they do align correctly. The problem is that I have too many reports to apply this workaround to all of them.
Could it be a known issue of Crystal Reports XI?
Is there any other workaround?
Thanks in advance

Hi Poonam
Maybe I wasn't quite explicit before,
In preview mode my report displays correctly as well. The problem comes when I run it through an ASP, which is needed for my application.
I'm running the CR version 11.5.0.313. I was asking if it could be a known issue of XI version because when I had version 9 I didn't have this problem.
It could also be that through the time, I changed something in the way the report is displayed, and didn't realize about that before, but I haven't been lucky to notice any change related.
Thanks for your time,
Gil

MS Excel automatically converts numeric fields to date format

I have at least 2 different spreadsheets where this happens. I maintain them for months, adding, changing, deleting data. They contain lots of data elements (numeric, text, date, etc). Some columns are all numeric, some all dates,
etc. Then suddenly when I open the spreadsheet, my numeric formatted data has been converted to date format. I see lots of # signs in cells, which is an indication that this happened, and selecting an affected cell shows a date, generally in the
early 1900s, depending on the original numeric value that was in the cell. I convert the fields back to numeric, but sometime later the same problem occurs -- numeric fields are now date formatted. I cannot identfy any specific change that I make
that would cause this. And I only recognize it as having occurred when I open the spreadsheet, not anytime during its maintenance. I am using MS Excel 2007 SP2 in a Windows XP SP3 environment. The machine is well maintained and updated /
kept current by our corporate IT group. I have done numerous Internet searches and cannot find anything like this in any other blog. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Were some of the these data imported from a .csv file? As far as I know, data formats cannot be saved in .csv file. If this is the situation, try this:
Save a copy of your .csv file changing the extension of your file from .csv to .txt
open excel.
go to DATA --> Import external data --> Import data --> browse to find the .txt file you made earlier
The text import wizard should open.
Click on delimited, click next
click comma, click next
You should now see all columns appear with heading GENERAL --> highlight the columns with the values that are changing to date and click TEXT (top right) instead. The heading of these columns should now change to TEXT.
click finish
Excel will now treat the column as text when it imports the data and will not change them to dates
If this is not the situation, this issue might be caused by some add-ins.
Start Excel in safe mode: Press and hold the
CTRL key, and then click the Excel program to start. Then, click File > Open to open the Excel file.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Office program, we can try to disable them.
