Check Box rawValue

Hello !!
I have a trouble with the check box rawValue. I can change de value (check box = "Off") of my check box, but if I add an instruction more, I can't anymore. The example following is an instruction of a click of a button.
Ex (this example runs) :
checkBox.rawValue = "0"; //My check Box isn't check...
Ex (this example doesn't run, only the second instruction) :
checkBox.rawValue = "0"; //My check Box isn't check...
checkBox.access= "readOnly"; //My check Box can be only read...
Thank you for your answers !!!

Hi,
What I use to do is:
checkBox.rawValue = !checkBox.rawValue;
checkBox.access = "readOnly";
If you want to have a 2 checBoxes, and on check one uncheck the other, you can put too a raddio button group with the appearance of a checkBox.
I hope this helps.

Check box value assigned by Numeric Field rawValue

This was asked and answered back in 2009 (http://forums.adobe.com/message/5944725#5944725), but I have a twist to the question:
I'm able to get the action to work, but not right away. I had to click around on the form to make the check box tic. I assigned the following code to the JhammerPassed-named check box:
if (JhammerSatTotal.rawValue <=80){
JhammerPassed.rawValue =1;
} else {
JhammerPassed.rawValue =0;
Essentially I have two boxes: one if they passed and one if they failed. So, if the value of the points awarded is greater than or equal to 80, then the 'passed' box tics. I added the less than version to the 'failed' box. They only seem to tic if I click on the JhammerSatTotal cell, then away, then back again. Is this just a quirk of the program or is there a way for it to be more responsive?
Thanks!
~Laura

I'm adding up 4 rows into JhammerSatTotal. The script I have in JhammerSatTotal is:
Sum(form1.Page4.JhammerTest.Row1.JhammerSat1
,form1.Page4.JhammerTest.Row2.JhammerSat2,form1.Page4.JhammerTest.Row3.JhammerSat3,
form1.Page4.JhammerTest.Row4.JhammerSat4)
(I tried simpler code, but this was the only one that worked.) So, the 4 fields that the total field is adding up are: JhammerSat1, JhammerSat2, JhammerSat3, JhammerSat4. These 4 fields are user entered.
Basically, my table looks as follows:
Steps
Points
Sat
Unsat
Step 1
10
Step 2
40
Step 3
10
Step 4
40
Total:
100
Then, there are two check boxes under the table: Passed and Failed. The user enters points into the Sat and Unsat rows while the total row is added up. If the total in the Sat column is <= 80, the Passed box should be checked. And the Failed box if it's >80.
Would this make a difference with your suggestion above?

Multiple checked boxes fill in common text field

I am attempting to create a form that has various criteria that are checked off (check boxes) and need to populate a common text field within the same form. Presently with action items I am able to design the form so that when only one item is checked it shows up on in the text field at a time not multiples Any suggestions would help.
Thank you

1) In the Binding tab of your checkboxes you can put the On Value to whatever you want to populate the common text field with and the Off Value blank.
2) Assuming all your check boxes names are CheckBox under the same subform use this script in the calculate event of your common text field:
var aChkList=[];
var vChecks = CheckBox.all;
for (var a=0;a<vChecks.length;a++){
if (!vChecks.item(a).isNull){
aChkList.push(vChecks.item(a).rawValue);
this.rawValue=aChkList.join(", ");

Populate drop-down lists based on check box selections

Hi. I'm creating a Service Work Order form. At the top, there are several check boxes for the various services we provide, under that , more text fields, drop downs and checkboxes to elaborate on those services, and then at the bottom, fields for pricing.
I'd like the top half of the form to drive the pricing info that is available or that auto-populates at the bottom.
Ideally, I'd like to make the pricing specific based on 3 things:
the service checkbox
the client
and the details on that service
For example:
If Client XYZ wants Service A that includes subservice B
$123 should show up on the bottom half in the field for that service
If Client ABC wants Service B that includes subservice C
$456 should show up on the bottom half in the field for that service
Does that make sense?
I've been unable to get code to work in either the calculate and pre-Open options
I first tried calculate and used this code (which was just a guess on my part)
if (CheckBox1 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
elseif
(CheckBox2 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
elseif
(CheckBox5 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 55
elseif
(CheckBox6 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 55
elseif
(CheckBox7 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
elseif
(CheckBox8 == 1) and if (CheckBox9 == 1) then
$.rawValue = 50
else
$.rawValue = 0
endif
That didn't do anything but give me an error about "and"
So I tried putting code in pre-Open:
// clear the dropdown displayed value and items
this.rawValue = null;
this.clearItems();
// repopulate the items based on the checkboxes
if(offshore.rawValue == 1)
    this.addItem("$40.00", "offshore_001");
    this.addItem("$45.00", "offshore_002");
    this.addItem("$50.00", "offshore_003");
if(inland.rawValue == 1)
    this.addItem("$40.00", "inland_001");
    this.addItem("$45.00", "inland_002");
    this.addItem("$50.00", "inland_003");
I got no error but nothing populated and the drop-down was, in effect, disabled.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Gavin,
This sounds like an issue that is not related to JHeadstart. To simplify the test case, you could create a simple drag-and-drop ADF application without JHeadstart and see if the same problem occurs there.
Your suggestion that it is related to the where clause seems likely. Please find out what kind of object USER_ENV is, and how it is initialized. Maybe this initialization is skipped when bouncing the application.
What happens if you perform the query in SQL*Plus, without doing anything about the USER_ENV?
Maybe you should ask the Oracle Applications discussion forum...
kind regards,

Single or multiple check box values displayed in a text field

My apologies, this may be a duplicate discussion.
I'm using the following script to display the values of check boxes in a text field. I would like the word "and" to separate the values if two check boxes are selected. If more than two boxes are selected I want the values to be separated by a comma and then the last value be separated by "and". Example of two check boxes selected: A and B. Example of two or more: A, B, C, and D. Can this be done?
form1.page1.page1SF.programs::calculate - (JavaScript, client)
//displays the values of check boxes named programCB
var aChkBx = [];
var vChecks = programCB.all;
for (var a=0; a<vChecks.length;a++){
if(!vChecks.item(a).isNull) {
aChkBx.push(vChecks.item(a).rawValue);
this.rawValue = aChkBx.join(", ");

Single or multiple check box values displayed in a textbox

Hi Experts!
I'm using the following script to display the values of check boxes in a text field. I would like the word "and" to separate the values if two check boxes are selected. If more than two boxes are selected I want the values to be separated by a comma and then the last value be separated by "and". Example of two check boxes selected: A and B.

this.rawValue = aChkBx.join(", ");

So, the way I see it, you actually have four scenarios. Nothing is checked, one item is checked, two items are checked, and three or more items are checked.
Here's how I did it.
I have four checkboxes all with the same name, cb. (You could have many more, and it wouldn't matter as long as they're all named the same thing.) I'm presuming that you will use the captions from the checkboxes as the text you want to enter. I called my text area where I enter the information tfSentence. (It's not a text field, it's just called "Text" in the Object Library.)
//we need to count how many boxes are checked
var checked = 0;
for (i=0; i<=cb.length; i++){
if (xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"]").rawValue == 1) checked ++;
//create a string variable to store our sentence
var str = "";
//look at the checked variable and choose our case from that
switch(checked){
case 0:
 //you may want to do more than just type out a sentence here, like a message box
 tfSentence.rawValue = "Nothing was selected";
 break;
case 1:
 //you can set text that will appear before your list of items here
 //str = "preliminary text";
 for (i=0; i<=cb.length; i++){
 if (xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"]").rawValue == 1) str += xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"].caption.value.#text").value;
 //you can set text to appear after your list of items here
 //str += "ending text";
 tfSentence.rawValue = str;
 break;
case 2:
 //str = "preliminary text";
 for (i=0; i<=cb.length; i++){
 if (xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"]").rawValue == 1){
 if (checked == 1) str += " and " + xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"].caption.value.#text").value;
 else str += xfa.resolveNode("cb[+i+"].caption.value.#text").value;
 checked--;
 //str+= "ending text";
 tfSentence.rawValue = str;
 break;
default:
 //str = "preliminary text";
 for (i=0; i<=cb.length; i++){
 if (xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"]").rawValue == 1){
 if (checked == 1) str += "and " + xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"].caption.value.#text").value;
 else str += xfa.resolveNode("cb["+i+"].caption.value.#text").value + ", ";
 checked--;
 //str += "ending text";
 tfSentence.rawValue = str;
 break

How do can I have the form fill in a check box if the user has entered text in a textbox?

I have a form that is submitting an xml data file that is picked up by MS Word and used to populate a document. However, there's a 'Miscellaneous' field where the user can type in addtional information that would not drop easily into the Word document (exceptions, items not on the drop down lists, etc.). I'd like to test to see if that Miscellaneous field has infomation in it and if it does, to set a invisible checkbox to "1" so that I can insert a text message in the Word document that there's additional information in the .pdf form that will have to be addressed manually in the Word document.
I've tried
if(Misc.rawValue !== "")
otherinfo.rawValue = 1;
but while it doesn't generate a Javascript error, it doesn't set the value either, and I haven't found any function that checks for whether a field is empty. I'm sure there's got to be a way to do this, but I'm stumped. Any help greatly appreciated!
Bill

It appears you are using LiveCycle Designer, so you will have to use the syntax of FormCalc or LiveCycle Designer JavaScript.
For FormCalc:
if(HasValue(Misc)) then
otherinfo = 1
else
otherinfo = 0
endif
For JavaScript
if(HasValue(Misc.rawValue))
otherinfo.rawValue = 1;
else
otherinfo.rawValue = 0;
I added code to clear the check box if the user clears the field.

Make a check box in LiveCycle with a personal character or image as check mark ( info to share...)

Hello everybody,
It makes now several weeks i go trough the different forums to find a way to make the check mark of a check box in LiveCycle with a personal color instead of the default black mark, that seems to be the only option available.
I saw somebody else with that question, but no answer.
So i found a work around, that make the check box really flexible.
Here it is:
REMEMBER that this will work only with forms saved as dynamic PDF.
Open a new form in Livecycle.
1) Open Library panel ( Shift+F12) and select Check Box and put it in the page with the dimension and position you like and select it.
Open the Object panel ( Shift+F7), select field section and under Caption make it blank. Select Binding Section and under name write in ' CheckBox '. for the rest leave all the section values as they are.
2) In Library select, in the standard section, the icon for making a text object. Put it in the page and size it to your needs and put it on the top of the CheckBox. Select it.
In the Object Panel, Draw section and under Presence 'Visible'.
Open the Font panel ( Shift+F4) and under font section, Font : select the Wingdings font and choose the symbol to use as the mark, under Size : the size you need, under Style: font color you like. If the result of the mark is to your feel, set the object to 'invisible'. Leave all other values as they are.
Open the Hierarchy panel (Shift+F11), right click on the static object and rename it to ' CheckMarkModel ' .
For information : changing the text object to an image object let's you use an image for the mark in the checkbox.
3) In Library, select in the standard section the icon for making a Button. Put it in the page and size it to the CheckBox dimension and put it on the top of the text object. Select it. In the Object panel, under Caption : make it blank, under Appearance : select custom in the drop down list an in the dialog box that comes up set the edges to none and the
background to none. Leave the rest as it is.
Open the Hierarchy panel (Shift+F11), right click on the Button object and rename it to ' ClickCheckBoxButton ' .
Now open the Script Editor (Shift+Ctrl+F5), on the left under Show : select in the list the ' Click ' event, under Language : select JavaScript, copy to the window the following script :
if (CheckMarkOnOff.rawValue == "0")
CheckMarkOnOff.rawValue = "1";
CheckMarkModel.presence = "visible";
else if (CheckMarkOnOff.rawValue == "1")
CheckMarkModel.presence = "invisible";
CheckMarkOnOff.rawValue = "0";
4)Now put in the page an other Check Box, put it on the top of the Button object and select it. In the Object panel, Field section, under Caption : make it blank, under Appearance : none, under Presence : invisible, let the rest as it is. In the Value section, under Type : Read Only, under Default : Off. In the Binding section, under Name : name it CheckMarkOnOff, leave the rest as it is.
5) So you have now four objects in the page 1. In the Hierarchy panel set each object by dragging them in
this order :
CheckBox
CheckMarkModel
ClickCheckBoxButton
CheckMarkOnOff
In the form select all the objects and group them. If you copy the group as many times you need you automatically will have an other Check Box, ready to work.
So here you are with an personal Check Box.
Don't forget to set the preview PDF to dynamic under Menu /File/Form Properties, the in the dialog box that shows up /Default tab and under the XDP Preview format : select in the list an Acrobat Dynamic form.
REMEMBER that this will work only with forms saved as dynamic PDF.
If somebody from Adobe could upload the sample file i made, to the forum, so that anybody can download it to his computer, would be appreciated, email me at : [email protected] .
Regards Mike.

I also faced this same problem and there is an actual solution but it involves modifying the xml source for the checkbox - however it is a simple modification so if your not familiar with editing the xml source don't worry about that. Click on the checkbox you want to modify and then click on the XML Source tab. LiveCycle will take you to that point in the XML. Now, scroll down until the close of the ui node( </ui> )within the checkbox field and modify the font node to look like the following: </ui> -- close of UI node <fill> <color value="0,0,255"/> </fill> This produces a checkbox with a blue check mark. You can, of course, make the color any RGB number you want. You can then save that field in your library and reuse it anytime you want and it will always have that color checkmark. Good luck. -Andrew

Using a check box to enable/disable buttons.

I am just beginning to dive into the world of mobile application development, and encountered the first time I think I need to use a function (<mx:Script... private function) and was wondering how I would go about making it so when a specific check box is selected, a set of corresponding buttons are enabled. When it is unselected, these buttons are then disabled. I'm sure this is a super novice question, so I'm hoping someone out there can help. This is for an iOS mobile app. Thanks!

Thanks for your response.
Based on your reply, I've entered this -
if (this.rawValue == 1){
Company1.rawValue = Company2.rawValue;
Contact1.rawValue = Contact2.rawValue;
Phone1.rawValue = Phone2.rawValue;
Email1.rawValue = Email2.rawValue;
Address1-1.rawValue = Address2-1.rawValue;
Address1-2.rawValue = Address2-2.rawValue;
Address1-3.rawValue = Address2-3.rawValue;
City1.rawValue = City2.rawValue;
ZipCode1.rawValue = ZipCode2.rawValue;
Country1.rawValue = Country2.rawValue;
and when I clcik the check box in the Preview PDF pane, nothing happens.
Do I have to save this as a "reader enabled" file before I can check to see if it works? Our clients that receive this form will be filling it out using Adobe Reader.
I'm only focused on the first two columns for now. I may eventually add the "End User" column down the line, but I just want to get the first part working first.
Company1 corresponds to the binding value in the "Company" field in the first column (Invoice or Bill To). Company2 corresponds to the binding value in the "Company" field in the "Ship To (from freight forwarder)" in the second column. This is the same pattern all the way through.
In the address fields, the binding values are shown as as follows -
Address1-1 means column 1, field 1
Address1-2 means column 1, field 2
Addrress1-3 means column 1, field 3
Etc...
I think I need to change the binding value for each field as I don't think the script like the "dash" in the binding values of the address fields.
Again, I'm sorry for these are stupid questions, but I am completely uneducated and green when it comes to using scripts.

Making a Text Field Required if User Checks box

Hi,
I am currently using Adobe Designer 7.0, and am trying to make a text field required if a user clicks on a check box above the text field.
I have the following code for the check box (on Change) but it doesn't appear to be working!! Any suggestions??
Thanks!
if (this.rawValue == 1 ){
TextField7.value = "User Entered - Required";
else {
TextField7.value = "User Entered - Optional";

Hi Krisitan,
you are trying to change the value of the field instead of it's accessability.
Try this:
if (this.rawValue == 1 ){
TextField7.mandatory = "error";
else {
TextField7.mandatory = "disabled";

Need help in LiveCycle Forms - Highlighting required fields when the check box is checked / Un-highlighting the fields if I un-check the check box...

Hello All!
I am relatively new to creating forms within LiveCycle but I have learned quickly so bare with me on my question.
I have figured out how to highlight a field when a check box is clicked on, however, I cannot get it to remove the highlight when the check box is unchecked?
This is what I used for the highlight:
Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
Can anyone provide any insight or suggestions on how I might fix this script issue?
Thanks in advance!
-Lisa

Hi,
Script migth be something like this. Put it on Change event of the check box
if (this.rawValue == 1) { Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,255,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();
else
{ Subform1.fieldname.fillColor="255,0,0"
xfa.layout.relayout();

If i have a form with check boxes. Can I add a button that will display the boxes that the user selected on a new page?

For example, there are 10 check boxes and the user selects 5 of those boxes. Then they click a submit button. Just the information from those boxes would be displayed so they can print it. Is this possible? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

That is definitely possible.
Option 1: checkboxes are all named differently.
In the click event for the submit button, add some code like this...
if (cbChoice1 == "1") p2.tfChoice1.presence = "visible";
else p2.tfChoice1.presence = "hidden"; //can use "invisible" if preferred
if (cbChoice2 == "1")...
Option 2: checkboxes are named the same
In the click event for the submit button, add code like this...
var checkboxes = xfa.resolveNodes("cbChoice[*]");
var textfields = xfa.resolveNodes("p2.tfChoice[*]");
for (i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++){
if( checkboxes.item(i).rawValue == "1") textfields.item(i).presence = "visible";
else textfields.item(i).presence = "hidden";

I have a dynamic table that calculates the sum of all rows, no issue. I'm struggling with pulling out a subtotal though. I would like to have a check box in each row that flags those rows and gives the sum of their total. Any help would be greatly app

I have a dynamic table that calculates the sum of all rows, no issue. I'm struggling with pulling out a subtotal though. I would like to have a check box in each row that flags those rows and gives the sum of their total. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's something I threw together rq. The script is in the change event for the checkbox in the table. (Of course, you'll have to modify it to suit the names of your fields.)
var rows = xfa.resolveNodes("tblAmounts.Row1[*]");
var subtotal=0;
for (i=0; i<rows.length; i++) if (rows.item(i).cbAdd.rawValue == 1) subtotal = subtotal + rows.item(i).nfAmount.rawValue;
nfSubtotal.rawVlaue=subtotal;

Counting Check Boxes with values

I have a sub-form where I gave each check box a value: sum(ICB6, ICB7, ICB11, ICB12, ICB16, ICB17, ICB21, ICB22), but what I want to do now is take this total and divide by the # of check boxes actaully checked. For example; if 2 of the boxes are checked my total is 7, then I want to divide it by 2 (the number of boxes checked) to get 3.5 as my score. I can not figure out how to make that happen?

If we assume that the Default value of your unchecked checkbox is zero, in the click/change event of the checkbox you can total the value of the checkboxes and divide it by 2.
Var total = (CheckBox1.rawValue + CheckBox2.rawValue+ CheckBox3.rawValue + ....) / 2
Thanks,
Bibhu.

Changing the Check Box color when selected/deselected

How do I do this using the Action tab in Check Box Properties within Acrobat 7.0 (NOT DESIGNER)?
I added the check boxes to the .PDF using the check box tool (Box Only-No Text).
I am trying to fill the box green when selected and yellow when not selected via ACTION>Mouse Up>Run a JavaScript>Add and enteringthe javasript below with no success:
if (this.rawValue == "1") {this.fillColor="0,255,0";} else {this.fillColor="255,255,0";}
PLEASE HELP!!!

If you are in AcroForm and not LiveCycle Designer, you not use LiveCycle Designer FormCalc syntax or LiveCycle Designer references.
With a single check box:
if(event.target.isBoxChecked(0)) {
event.target.fillColor = color.green;
} else {
event.target.fillColor = color.yellow;
