Dynamic Creation of form

Hi,
I need to create a web dynpro form that will filtered the fields to be displayed or set the property (mandatory or read only) based on 5 criteria selected by user. Due to complexity of the form, i need to create the form dynamically during run time in order to cope for occasional changes, thus minimum effort required for changes in DB, eventing, GP etc.
Anyone has any suggestion of how can i store the UIs, validation, and etc that relevant to the form creation? So that it's feasible to create the form during runtime by just read everything that is given from the source.
However i am understand that i can create the UI at runtime.

You will have to write the code in doModify
IWDAttributeInfo attinfo =
wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("<attribute name>");
IWDInputField ip = (IWDInputField)view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,null);
ip.bindValue(attinfo);
Like wise if it is a checkbox
IWDCheckBox cb = (IWDCheckBox)view.createElement(IWDCheckBox.class,null);
cb.bindChecked(<attribute info>)
chk it

Dynamic Creation of UI in adobe forms??

Hi Experts,
I need to create a dynamic interactive form and dynamic UI elements in the interactive form.
As per my requirement I need to display a pdf and I will be getting values from the RFC's. I need to show the form segments and the UI elements only when there's a data from the RFC else not. I am unable to understand whether this requirement needs generation of the UI elements dynamically or I can do it statically as well.
The form thus generated will be having data from the RFC which based on the data quantity may exceed to n number of pages.
In case it needs dynamic creation can you suggest me please how to achive it in interactive forms?
Helpful answers will be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Gaurav

Hi,
subForm1:-
Flow content
Allow page breaks
Place: following previous-----> This means when you are repeating the subform the previous one should be followed.
Say you have a table and have 3 columns in it.
After 1st column is completed, the next column should come with 1st comun
After: Continue filling parent--->Continously fill the data with the parent element
Repeat sub form min count is 1 : Minimum of 1 line item will be printed
Height: Expand to fit is true.: If the field height is increased it automatically expands.
For help in Adobe Press F1 or Goto Help--> Adobe Designer Help in Adobe Designer
After installing Adobe Designer, goto the specific folder
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Designer 8.0\EN you can get sample documents.
For help press F1 after opening designer.
Sub Form1: Content--> Flowed, Flow direction --> Top to bottom
Binding --> Check the checkbox Repeat Subform for each data item
Subform 2: Content --> Positioned, No pagination No binding settings changes needed.
Hey i forgot to mention the Header Subform where you create all these subforms should be flowed.
Try it once like this and lte us know

Dynamic Creation Form

Hi friends,
Is there a way to create dynamic creation forms in ADF,in jdev 10.3.3?
By this I mean--I need to populate a table in my DB and on my page I have an add button,
now at each click of add button,a new creation form should be displayed on the page one below the other.
finally there would be a Save button that would save all my entries to the table.
I searched a lot for the same...Please do help if anybody has any ideas..
Thnks in Advance..c ya

Hi,
well, the easiest would be to create an updateable table and add new rows. If you need a form then you can use af:forEach or af:iterator with the table binding to render input form elements (more like a custom table rendering). However, its quite a bit of development that is required for this.

Dynamic creation of PDF forms

I'm looking for possible ways to dynamically create PDF forms (not necessarily interactive):
Scenario:
An unknown number of text elements has to be placed on an unknown number of pages. These elements may come with positional and format attributes as part of the context data (and/or have positional data calculated as server side form script using JavaScript).
Question:
How do I create these elements dynamically?
Is it possible to add/delete elements (text elements, pages, content areas, ...) of the form using the XML Object Model in server side scripts?
What ways are there to maybe access the Adobe Document Services directly to submit the data and positional information (without having to create a "dummy" form which would contain the scripts to add all the required elements)?
I hope that I described my problem understandable, and that you can provide me with some helpful information, be it a different concept, parts of a solution or just links to helpful documents or infos.
Thanks,
Max

No, we do not support passing values into the form like that.

Dynamic generation of form to show table entries

Dear experts,
I am aware of how to dynamically program for form generation when the layout static and is already defined in transaction SFP.
However I have a requirement wherein the form layout is not available . But the form should get generated dynamically and display values from a table in a simple field - value format. ( Just the way SE16 displays table content , the only difference being output should be in a PDF)
Any pointers how I can progress on this.
Appreciated your inputs.
Thank you.
With regards,
Sahir.

How does default checked checkboxes work for checkboxes of type String[]?
The following code works, but it is for form property of type String, instead of String[]:
<form-property name="prop" type="java.lang.String" />
form.set("prop", "true");
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="true"> // checked by defaultThis is what I tried for type String[], modelling it off the ideas of the above code, but it does not work:
<form-property name="prop" type="java.lang.String[]" />
String[] propArray = {"1", "4"};
form.set("prop", propArray[]);
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="1"> //should be checked by default, but is not
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="2">
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="3">
<html:checkbox property="prop" value="4"> //should be checked by default, but is notWhy does it work for String but not String[]? How do I make it so that they are checked by default for type String[]?

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

Dynamic creation of TabStrip

Hi,
I want to create a tabstrip dynamically.The tabstrip should have 3 tabs, and in each of the tabs i want to put some UI elements like a label, input field, dropdown, tables.........etc.
Im able to create the tabstrip and add tabs to it dynamically.
I've even created the UI elements which i wanted to put in the tabs.............But im not able to proceed as i dont know how to add the UI elements to the tabs.......
Can anyone tell me how to add UI elements to a tab in a tabstrip?
Regards,
Padmalatha.K
Points will be rewarded.

Hi,
Following code will help you to understand the dynamic creation and adding them
//Tabstrip
       IWDTabStrip tabStrip = view.createElement(IWDTabStrip.class);
       //Tab
       IWDTab tab = view.createElement(IWDTab.class);
       //Input Field
       IWDInputField inputField = view.createElement(IWDInputField.class);
       //Adding inputfield to tab
       tab.setContent(inputField);
       //Adding tab to tabstrip
       tabStrip.addTab(tab);
//Finally add this tabstip to either your root container or some other container.

Dynamic creation of ComponentUsage

Hi people,
I want to reuse a view (ViewA) in different views (ViewB, ViewC, ViewD).ViewA has a quite complex logic, so it is necessary to outsource this view. Not only the logic, but also the count of UIElements and contextelements is quite large, for this I don't want to implement this part redundant in the views A, C and D.
I have to use ViewA in a table in the TablePopin UIElement. Every line of the table should have its own instance of ViewA. Is that possible?
My idea is it, to put the view in an own component. For every tableline I need an instance of the componentUsage. My problem is now, that I'm not able to create at runtime a ComponentUsage and at designtime I don't know how many instances I need. Is it possible in webdynpro to create dynamic instances of ComponentUsage?
If you know an other way, that prevents me from implementing the view and its logic more times, please tell me!
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Morandell

Hi Thomas,
just for clarification. Principally it is possible in Web Dynpro to dynamically create new component usages of the same type like an existing, statically declared one. This means after having defined a component usage of type ISomeComp (component interface definition) you can dynamically create new component usages which all point to the same component interface definition ISomeComp:
wdThis.wdGetISomeCompUsage().createComponentUsageOfSameType();
But this dynamic creation approach implies, that you must also embed the component interface view of this component usage to the view composition dynamically; and this is (unfortunately) quite cumbersome and complicated based on the existing Web Dynpro Java API (it is not yet optimized for a simple dynamic view composition modification.
Additionally, like Valery pointed out, the dynamic creation of new component usages is not compatible with table popins.

Dynamic creation of date in selection variant

Hi All,
I have a Z program for updating a field in BOM item. One of the input field in the report is "Valid From Date". Actually the current date is automatically fetched through a function module and it is defaulted in that field.
Our client is using selection variant for ease of use. The problem here is old date in the selection variant is replacing the current date. I want current date to be created automatically during insertion of variant also. How can i solve this problem. Is there any selection variable inside the variant for dynamic creation of Date?
Thanks
Sankar

As I know there is no setting for this. For any std or Z report variant function with L should act same way...anyway you discuss with your ADABer.
See the help for variables
Selection Variables
The following three types of selection variables are currently
    supported:
o   Table variables from TVARV
        You should use these variables if you want to store static
        information. TVARV variables are proposed by default.
o   Dynamic date calculations:
        To use these variables, the corresponding selection field must have
        type 'D' (date). If the system has to convert from type T to type D
        when you select the selection variables, the VARIABLE NAME field is
        no longer ready for input. Instead, you can only set values using
        the input help.
        The system currently supports the following dynamic date
        calculations:
        Today's date
       From beginning of the month to today
       Today's date +/- x days
       First quarter ????
       Second quarter ????
       Third quarter ????
       Fourth quarter ????
       Today's date - xxx, today's date + yyy
       Previous month
o   User-specific variables
       Prerequisite: The selection field must have been defined in the
       program using the MEMORY ID pid addition. User-specific values,
       which can be created either from the selection screen or from the
       user maintenance transaction, are placed in the corresponding
       selection fields when the user runs the program.
The SELECTION OPTIONS button is only supported for date variables that
   fill select-options fields with single values.
i.e means we can do that with D also.

Dynamically Fill PDF form (extended features enabled forms)

Hi Tarek
Firstly let me say thank you for the great help you are doing through the forum.
With Google, I did a very long search to find out how to fill a PDF form from a database. I achieved this using the iTextSharp dll. But this dll not supporting adobe extended features. thatsy once i filled forms using this class, result form will be flat form and we cant fill it manually again. even this will disable adobe extended features when i open it in adobe reader.
I am working with a project to simplify immigration process (CANADA). I already have all immigration forms created using LiveCycle. That means when i open these form in free Adobe Reader I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline).
My Workflow as follows
1. I am working with .Net Frame Work 2, Visual Studio 2005, Windows Applications (not Web/ASP)
2. I have fillable forms designed using Adobe LiveCycle (I can fill the form manually and can save locally (offline) using Adobe Reader).
3. I have to dynamically fill these forms with data from a database (data is already available and its almost achieved using iTextSharp Dll)
4. Once its dynamically filled, I will send these forms to client through email, because some of the data should be filled by client.
5. client can open these forms in free Adobe Reader and they can fill and save these forms(because Adobe extended feature enabled in this form, so they can fill and save in Adobe Reader)
6. Once they fill and save the form, they will send back final form to us through emal (no Online Submit required).
7. We will check it and finalize, take printout and attach to our document management system.
8. I can't use any great technologies bcz I dont need any online Submision/Rejection thing and our budjet is low.
9. I am looking some technologies same as itextShar, simply fill data to form and save it as a new PDF, but it should support Adobe Extended Featers( what is currently not available in iTextSharp), so that customer can fill and save it again using simple and free ADOBE READER.
That's it !!
could u please verify my workflow is correct or not, bcz am new to PDF things and can u please suggest me solution to achieve this.
Thanks in advance
Ajo Joseph

iTextSharp doesn't enable usage rights in PDF forms, so any changes will invidate the form.
To bypass the validitiy of the Usage Rights, server the XDP data from the buffer of a web server, and point the File to the PDF on the same web server.
Usage rights will still be enabled, and the form can be saved or downloaded.
Also, please be sure to check out FDFToolkit.net, and PDFEmail.net.

Add Subform dynamically,in Interactive form in WebDynpro

HI,
I an using NW2004s SP9 and have an Interactive form designed by Adobe Designer 7.1 from within the NetWeaver Developer Studio, with the following hierarchy of elements:
-form1(root)
--Button
--tmpForm (subform - Repeat subform for each data entry )
---ST (Text)
The Webdynpro application displays the Interactive PDF form with Reader Rights enabled by the Adobe Document Services.
On click of button, the following javascript is executed on client side:
var df = _tmpForm.addInstance(1);
df.ST.rawValue = "HI" ;
xfa.host.messageBox( "Instances" + tmpForm.all.length ) ;
On clicking the button, i get the number of the instances of the subform and the size increases on each click, but no element is added "visibly" to the pdf.
But when i try to do the same by saving the XDP file as Dynamic PDF form for Acrobat 8.0, and open it using Adobe Acrobat PRO 8.0, it works fine.
My question is,I s it not possible to add subforms dynamically in PDF's generated by Adobe Document Services with Reader Rights enabled?
Or, is there something that i am missing?
Please guide.
Thanks.
Regards,
Siddhartha

HI Dezpo,
Thanks a lot for replying.
I had checked the updated <b>SAP Note 834573</b> -Interactive Forms based on Adobe software: Acrobat/Reader version, which states that:
For SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe, you require the following:
Adobe Acrobat as of Version 7.0.9
Adobe Reader as of Version 7.0.9
<b>Important:</b>
Note that you can only have limited use of Reader 8.0 for forms that, at runtime, are integrated in a WebDynpro application through the xACF technology (Active Components Framework). In this runtime environment, Reader 8.0 currently only supports static interactive forms. If you are using <b>dynamic interactive PDF forms</b>, we recommend that you use <b>Reader 7.0.9.</b> In the application, you can use parameters, or you can call methods, to determine whether you want to create a static or dynamic PDF form.
I tried with the reader versions - 7.0.7, 7.0.9 and 8.01, but it doesn't work for either of them.

Talent Management - Creation of forms via wizard

Hi all,
After creation of forms (Competency, Development Plan etc) via the wizard, the form is unable to be re-released after cancelling release. Is there anyway I can do that? I need to do some minor changes to the form (adding additional links) but unable to re-release it after changes.
Please help.

Hi Eric,
I'm afraid to say that your comment is correct.
You could look at enhancing the WDA HRTMC_DEVELOPMENT_PLAN.
