Disable field highlighting?

Good Morning,
Working on a form that will be distributed to a number of users. The form utilizes a lot of scripts to highlight fields that require attention. The form works/shows well when the preset "highlight fields" is turned off (currently done manually).
Is it possible to disable field highlighting using a script or by changing the preferences so that when the document is opened, the form fields are not highlighted? During testing, the "highlight fields" option is turned on by default on other users machines. I searched on the Internet and came across the following:
Layout: Ready event
app.runtimeHighlight = False
Can this be used and if so, where would it be entered (hopefully not in every field).
Thanks

Thanks for the response.
Form is created using Adobe Acrobat 9. I put the code in the page properties of the the first page of the document as an action. Doesn't seem to work.
Any other suggestions?

Color of Disabled field

Whenever i disable the field its color fades. How can i select the dark color for disbaled field?

You shouldn't be using the disabled field attribute for fields that are display-only.
We use a different background color for updateable items (white), while display-only fields usually get the same background color as the canvas, which is always a light color, so the black text shows just fine.
And we allow users to click into display-only fields, so our form will highlight the background (yellow), in case they want to bring attention to the field, say while they are discussing the screen with someone.
We only use the disabled property in rare occasions, when a field is truly disabled, indicating some process is not available.

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

How do you grey out/disable fields under a radio button if another radio button is selected in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
I’m creating a form where the user has three options to make a payment.
1. charge to my credit card
2. charge associated costs to bank account
3. By cheque or money order
My Problem is, under each option, there are required fields that has to be filled out. So if the user picks the first option, charge to my credit card, they would fill out the required fields (credit card number, expiration date etc.). But when they click submit button to submit the form, it won’t let them, because there are required fields under the second option. Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it. So what I'm trying to do is this: If the user selects the radio button for option 1, the other two options are greyed out/disabled. And if the user holds down the shift key and clicks radio button for option one again, it unchecks the radio button and the other two options are available again. Is there a way to grey out or disable the two other payment options when the other one is picked. I’m assuming I will have to use javascript, but what would the coding be and which field do I write it under?
Thanks in advance guys

You will have to use custom JavaScript to access the various properties of the field object.
The radio button group has a value. When no button is selected that value is "Off". When an individual button has been selected the value for the group will be the option or export value for that individual button.
Once you have determined the button selected, then you will know the form fields that need to be made required. You use JavaScript to access those fields and change the "read only" property to false, and set the "required" property to true. For the fields associated with the other options, those fields should be reset, made read only, and have the "required" property set to false.

>> Also, I have the radio buttons for the three options setup so that if the user holds the shift key and clicks a radio button, it unchecks it.
Radio button in a PDF do not work that way. Only check boxes can be unchecked by clicking on one that has been checked.
If you plan the coding for the Mouse UP action to test for all possible options and code for each of those options you should have what you want.
If you want actual code you need to provide a lot more details.
It is even possible to perform some credit card and bank routing number validations with JavaScript and some check digit formulas.

Using Javascript to disable field "Planned"

Hi every one,
I want to use javascript to disable "Planned" checkbox in Project Server 2013 because we want that user can not see this planned time and be confused with the Project Server's automatic changes for the planned time.
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("Ribbon.ContextualTabs.MyWork.Home.ShowHide.PlannedWork-Medium-checkbox").checked = false;
</script>
I found this code in this subject :
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/0beeed2d-bebc-4217-981a-41b1252c7cc2/disable-field-planned-in-timesheet?forum=projectserver2010general
But I don't understand where to use it. If i create a custom webpart with this code, I've got a null exception when the page is loading.
So, can you help me ? Maybe I need to use it in an other file ?

Hi Patmol6,
Basically, to add javascript to a PDP (or timesheet page for instance),
edit the page
add the content editor webpart
set it as hidden
copy paste the code
Note that you can also point from the content editor webpart to a js file embedding the javascript code
Here are few examples (some are in PS2007, but the process is similar):

Why I cannot process a disabled field when using htmldb_item

I have a report that has this in the select statement
case when c.sec_lic_status in (1,2,7,505,1002,1004,1005) then
htmldb_item.text(2,sum( distinct a.fee_variable),8,20)
else
htmldb_item.text(2,sum( distinct a.fee_variable),8,20,'disabled')
end "Quantity 1"
The above shows correctly. If there are 2 records one field is disable and the other is enabled.
I have a process that fires on submit - after Computations and Validations. But the records don't changed when updating the enabled one.
In debugging and writing to a file using the UTL_FILE package, I'm able to pinpoint that the disable fields are the problem.
Is there a trick on manually processing disabled fields?
I've found that when I uncheck the show box in the report, I cannot use the fields either. This is not a problem, just another comment.
My main problem is what do I have to do to manually process a disabled field.
Thanks for your help, comments, pointers, or anything that could help me or give me ideas.
juan

Juan - HTML items with the disabled attribute are not POSTed with the form so your after-submit processes never see them. Try 'readonly="readonly"' instead. Others may be able to suggest how to also give those cells a greyed-out appearance.

Disabling fields in subscreen

Hi,
I have a main screen '9970' and subscreen '7300'.
The subscreen '7300' is also a subscreen of some other screen say '9000'.
Now I need to disable the fields of '7300' only when it is called from the main screen '9970'. When i disable in fields in PBO of subscreen , then it will be disabled in screen '9000' also.
Is there any way to disable fields of subscreen from the main screen '9970'.
I tried the following in PBO of main screen
LOOP AT SCREEN.
If Screen-name = 'SCRAREA1'.
            SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
ps: call subscreen SCRAREA1 using <prog-name> <screen-no>
SCRAREA1 is the name of the subscreen area.
But the above code is not capturing the subscreen area name at all..
Anyone please suggest..
Thanks
Hemalatha

Hi,
In The main screen 9000 and 9970 pass the screen number to a global variable before calling subscreen 7300.
In PBO of 7300 chek the variable to know if it has been called from the desired main screen say 9970. If yes disable it and pass another indicator say dibale = X.
Return to main screen.
In the PBO of the Main screen check the variable DISABLE and grayout the fields you want.
IMPORTANT.
If you are doing CALL SCREEN 7300 from 9000.And then a LEAVE TO SCREEN from 7300 after processing, you will not go to the PBO of 9000. Control will execute the flow logic of 9000 after the CALL SCREEN statement.
Let me know if any issues.
Thanks,
Vivekanand

How to set a value to a disabled field in an B1 screen ?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to set a value to a disabled field in an existing screen.
For example , I want to set a value to the Paid/Credited field in the Sales - A/R Invoice screen, which is a disabled field.
I tried setting the field as enabled but it throws an error.
Thanks in advance
Mina

It depends on the business process required for generating the invoice. (What is this process just now?)
I can think on quite a few ideas, but can't be sure if any of them will match your specific requirements. I'll list a few here and see if any of them might work, or at least generate some new ideas for you. (Unfortunately you can't change an existing payment object to add an invoice to it at a later date, nor is the reconciliation process exposed through the SDK. This limits your options a bit.)
1) Is there a need for a separate delivery and invoice? Would skipping the delivery process and using the standard Invoice + Payment screen work for you? Stock would be issued, invoice created and payment matched directly to invoice without any work.
2) This might apply if the invoice is simply a one for one match with the delivery. Rather than just generate a payment in the delivery screen, generate the invoice and a payment at the same time. The standard invoice screen will then show it as paid. You can control the dates on the invoice raised through DI code.
3) Where do you write the Paid Amount to? How is it not available in the invoice screen? Put it somewhere accessible and write it to the user field.

How to disable field Order quantity

Hi everyone
I want to disable field item order quantity at line item level on the transaction VA02, can anybody help me on this?
im using the user exit MV45AFZZ to make other modifications in the program, can i use the same user exit or any other alternative?

The logic that you need to place should be something similar to below:
IF SY-TCODE = 'VA02' AND SCREEN-NAME = 'RV45A-KWMENG'.
SCREEN-INPUT = 0.

Hope this helps.

The Adobe Forms was created with Disable Fields!

Hi All,
I am new in Adode Interactive Forms ABAP.

, 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME', CALL FUNCTION i_funcname, the Adobe Forms was created with disables fields. I canu2019t fill it and canu2019t press the button to call WS on ECC.
Could you help me?
Thank you!

Hi fabio,
When you say the example ran successfully is it without any error messages..?
Did you check in spool "SP01" if there something sitting out there.
To my understanding PDF rendring is dependent in 2 aspects.
1) the output device type you select (this should be a PDF enabled printer)
2) Programatically if you say it should go to a printer or spool.
Just try with FP_TEST_00 either in sfp or SE38 and try both print preview and print.
in print priview it should display the PDF on the screen.
In print it should display as success message and in spool it should have the corresponding PDF. if both are working fine then the ADS and output device config are correct and it all depends on how do you handle the PDF output.
Just try the above approach and post the results,
Cheers,

Disabling fields on initialization of form 8.2

Hi,
I am new to LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and I am trying to disable fields on initializing a form. If there is already a discussion about this or a how-to could someone point me there. I am having problem finding documentation on this.
Also I am confused on how to embed scripts into xfa doc. The Adobe documentation is confusing to me. Is there another FAQ or how-to for that aswell
Thank you for the help

You can set the initial state of an object in the object palette. Put focus on the object, and under the Object palette their is a value tab. On the Value tab their is a Type dropdown, you can set its initial state there.
Scripts are tied to an object. Again put focus on the object. Open the script editor (Window/Scrip Editor or simply hit Cntrl-Shift F5). It will appear between the toolbars and the drawing palette. Now you are ready to script against the object that has focus. Choose an event (top left) where you want your script to run, choose a language (typically javascript) and leave the Run At parameter as client. All script for that event will be automatically written into the template for you when you save. You can change events and your script will disappear. All that means is that there is no script on th eevent that you are looking at. In the event dropdown, if there is an * beside an event that signifies that there is code on that event.
Hope that helps

At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted)

"At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted)"
I'm tearing my hair out with this one. Have checked all the fields to confirm if I had set the Type as User Entered - Required. Can't find any such field. Any help would be appreciated. Is there an email id where I can send the form?

Hi,
In your script when you make an object visible, you also make it mandatory. No problem there!
However the script that hides the object goes through this sequence:
hide the object, THEN
make it optional/not mandatory.
This is where the problem lies.
You FIRST need to make the object optional/not mandatory AND THEN hide the object. It should just be a simple case of work through the various scripts and having the mandatory line before the presence line.
There is an example here: http://assure.ly/hxHupW.
Hope that helps,

Disabling Field Disables the Entire Form

I am trying to disable fields in the 'User Library.xml' form depending on who logs in; unfortunately the code below disables the whole form.
Any pointers on how to get out of this logjam?
<Field name='global.login_desc'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='title' value='Login Description'/>
</Display>
<Disable>
<eq>
<block name="loggedinuseraccountid">
<invoke name='getUser'>
<rule name='EndUserRuleLibrary:getCallerSession'/>
</invoke>
</block>
<s>Administrator</s>
</eq>
</Disable>
</Field>

A little javascript should do it.
function switchForm(form,flag){
inputs = form.elements;
for(i=0;i<inputs.length;i++){
inputs.disabled = flag;
}No need to go to the server for this one.
