Hide Text Field at run time

Hi,
I am trying to hide a text field when it is empty in Adobe form .
The code for this
if( hasValue($record.LOCAT) )
LOCAT.presence eq 'visible'
else LOCAT.presence eq 'hidden'
endif.
I have written this code in the initialise event for the text field.
As far as I know this is possible for interactive forms. Is there a possible way to implement it in for static adobe form.
I am very new to both Adobe form and java scrpit.
Please help me .

Hi,
I tried both ur suggestions but no luck.
I also went through the document and implemented the following changes to my form
Created a script object with a function in it trying to make the text field hidden in all cases
function emptyCheck(oField){
if ((oField.rawValue == null) || (oField.rawValue == "")) {
oFieild.presence = "hidden";
else{
oFieild.presence = "hidden";
and then applied to my text field in the initialize event
script_obj.emptyCheck(this);
While testing (print preview) it is not showing any error but when I am running my form it still shows the text field.
My requirement is this that if the field is empty it should be hidden and I would like to be able to move the lines below it upward on the form to fill in the space left by the data field so that no empty space is displayed.
Am I doiing anything wrong ?
Please suggest.

Possible to change type of spry validation text field at run time?

I am trying to record a date of death on a form, which obviously for live people might not require a value. I have a radio group (Yes/No) that specifies whether the fields associated with the date of death are visible (select for month, day and year). For the year, I have it set to be an integer with a minimum and maximum value. The selects have an invalid value of -1 set, with one item labeled "Select month" and "Select day" given the -1 value.
When the "no" button is clicked, I want to make it so that submitting the form does not cause validation errors for the spry fields associated with the date of death. I have successfully added onChange events to the select objects that call javascript, along the lines of spryselect1.invalidValue = -2. I can also make it so that the text field representing the year of death is not forced to be required: sprytextfield1.isRequired = false.
However, I'm having a hard time getting the "invalid format" validation to be canceled. I have tried executing sprytextfield1.type = "none", since looking at the source code in SpryValidationTextField.js seems to indicate that the object's type property is important. However, this doesn't work; I think that's because the type property is used to look up a validation function in an array when the object is constructed, and may not be referenced again after that.
So, I'm looking for either:
a property/method to call to effectively change the type OR
information on whether reconstructing the variable with new options will work. I am not sure if any event handlers registered during the object's original construction will still be fired even if I make the variable point to a new object. I see a destroy function in the source code that might do what I want, but my Javascript knowledge isn't too great, so I don't know if that method needs to be called explicity or whether it happens implicitly when an object is garbage collected.
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give.

Auto fill redundant text fields at run-time

I have a master page with several text fields in the header. My first page of the pdf allows user to enter this info (in other fields, with javascript to copy to the header fields like this):
----- F.pgCover.editSiteNumber::exit - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------------
F.pageSet.mpgHeader.hdrSiteNumber.rawValue = this.rawValue
Pages 2-6 use the mpgHeader. Page 2 shows the correct header info, but pages 3-6 do not show it. If I dynamically change a header page how do I force all pages that use that header page to update... or do I need to set properties on my body pages or content areas differently?

How to Hide the Parameter field at run time....

Hi,
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
It has the LOV coming from following SQL.
SELECT customer_name FROM Cust_mast;
If the user = 'INTERNAL' then the Where clause will be
WHERE cust_id in('DELL', 'SBC', 'BANK')
Else there will be no WHERE clause or the parameter field
should be hidden in the parameter form.
So my questions are:
1) How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
OR OR OR
2) How to change the LOV select statement during Run time?
Thanks.
Ram.

Hi Ram,
Is there any way to play with the sql query SELECT using DECODE ?I'm not sure of this part, maybe someone else can suggest a way.
However, what you want can be done in 2 other ways:
1. Build 2 reports. Both reports will just be duplicates of each other, only difference being that the 'LoV where clause' will be different. Now you can fire the appropriate report in many ways. For example, if the customer is alreay logged inside your custom application, and therefore you already know whether the user is internal of external, you can design your button or link which launches the report to contain logic such that one of the 2 reports is fired depending on who the user is.
1. Use a JSP parameter form, not a paper parameter form In this case, just build an HTML parameter form in the web source of your report. Use Java logic to populate the LoV drop-down list. When you have to launch the final report, just launch the paper-layout of the report. For example (you will have to modify this):
<form action="http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=ParamForm.jsp+..." name="First" method="post">
<select name="selected_customer" onChange="First.submit()" >
<option value="">Choose a Customer Name
<rw:foreach id="G_cust_id" src="G_cust_id">
<rw:getValue id="myCustId" src="CUSTOMER_ID"/>
<rw:getValue id="myCustName" src="CUSTOMER_NAME"/>
<option value="<%=myCustId%>"><%=myCustName%>
</rw:foreach>
</select>
</form>
In the code above, you will have to make sure that your report's data model defines 2 CUSTOMER_ID's (like CUSTOMER_ID_INT and CUSTOMER_ID_EXT). These 2 will be internal and external Cust ID's. Use Java logic to show one of them.

How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?

Hi,
How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
I am using reports 10G
For ex: I have 3 field created in JSP
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user = 'SUPER show all the parameter
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user is 'GATEKEEPER" Just show
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
Can I do that?
Please help
Thanks.

hi, i'm not familiar much with JSP. but i think workaround is to create two window one which have 4 fields and the other which have 3. if user is SUPER then call the first screen otherwise if user is GATEKEEPER then call the second screen.

How to generate database text items at run time in oracle forms 6i?

i have a text item with NUMBER OF ITEMS DISPLAYED=3. My requirement is, i need to generate text items at run time under each TEXT ITEM(3 text items will be there since number of items displayed is 3) and the values will be stored in the database based on the primary key combination. pls help me to solve this pblm

Hi,
You cannot generate items dynamically at runtime. The only thing you can do is show and hide item on time. Thay seems that they are generated at run time. Second thing you can do is that you can put items on stack canvas and set visible property of stack canvas to no and at run time set it to visible according to ur condition. Otherwise there is no way. If you find any other way, plz do inform here also.

Hide radio button in run time

Hi expert,
kindly help me for hide radio button in run time for web dynpro kindly give me on example .
thank's and regard's
Vikash

hi.
For Visibility :
-> bind its Visible Property to the context of type WDUI_VISIBILITY.
-> Now make it visible or invisible according to your requirement.
using Code Wizard ( Control + F7) , Set the particular context.
For visible Set as 02.
For invisible Set as 01.
code for your ref ( Generated using Code Wizard- Set the particular context attribute. )
In below code : radiobutton is binded with CA_VIS of type WDUI_VISIBILITY
DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->element_context.
DATA lv_ca_vis TYPE wd_this->element_context-ca_vis.
get element via lead selection
lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
@TODO handle not set lead selection
IF lo_el_context IS INITIAL.
ENDIF.
@TODO fill attribute
lv_ca_vis = 1.
set single attribute
lo_el_context->set_attribute(
name = `CA_VIS`
value = 02 ).
I hope it helps.

How to auto-generate a "empno" field at run time in oracle forms 6i

Hello!
I have connected to a SCOTT schema. And i am using emp table. At run time mode when i press F8 then the data is displayed in the fields.
My task is to generate auto "empno" as soon as i run the form. Kindly do the needful.
Thanks in advance

Hi Francios,
I think with your solution our user only able to see the current information in the form.I donot think it will auto generate the empno.
Dear user,
I suggest what you can do is to create one sequence in your database and use it to generate automatic
empno.
In post query trigger try to implement the idea.
Suppose in the name of the sequence is empno_seq.
if emp.empno is null then
:emp.empno := empno_seq+1;
end if;
Try i hope it will work

I'm having trouble with a Text Field and a Time Format

I have created a form.
There are many text fields for clients to fill out.
One Field have been formatted to enter a time. Ex. 6:00pm.
This works great unless it's a 12:00am time then the field reads 00:00am
I would rather it read 12:00 am.
How can I do this?

Maybe you should put the time format in 24hour instead.

Can't hide text field label..only text field

I'm trying to display text field boxes on a form to fill out when a box is checked. I'm able to do this for the actual text field, but can't figure out how to hide then show the associated text field label. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
var nHide =
event.target.isBoxChecked (0) ? display.visible:display,hidden;
this.getField ("Name").display = nHide; this.getField

First of all, you're using Acrobat JavaScript in an XFA form, which doesn't work.
LiveCycle Designer has its own interpretation of JavaScript, which is different to Acrobat.
There is also a second scripting language called FormCalc available.
Its syntax is much easier to learn and is matches perfectly to manipulate XFA forms.
Check the help (F1 button) in Designer to get the Designers scripting guide.

Set value Field in run time

hello guys!!!
it's called the process where
on my screen I have two fields
Field 1: enabled for editing
Field 2: disabled for editing
when i fill the value in a field 1 I want to play the same value for the field 2 in run time. that´s possible?What can I study?

So, you want the user to be allowed to enter a value in field 1, then after tabbing out to the next field, display that same value in a non-editable field underneath?
You can definitely implement this using Partial Page Rendering (PPR).
Go to your help section within JDeveloper. Type in "Partial Page Rendering Exercise". A tutorial will pop up showing you how to implement this sort of thing.

Problems in text field when running java

Hi,
I updated yesterday to Firefox 10.0 and then I updated also Java Platform. I'm now having this problem: I use Java in one webpage and have other tabs opened. When I switch between tabs the menu bar becomes grey and I'm not able to type in the text fields of any tabs (address bar, search bar or text fields in webpages).
The menu bar anyway it's still active (I can click and choose what to do). When I make some operation (ie: Tools - Download but also any other) the menu turns back in bold and I can type again.
I'm using Windows xp professional, Service Pack 2.
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks in advance for your help.
C.

Yep! I also have this problem! You are not alone. Interacting with Java and then clicking the address bar seems to disable it so that you can't highlight or type in the address bar! This is really annoying me and I hope it gets a fix fast.
Thanks for sharing. ^.^

How to hide text field item based on true or false cases in oracle apex

Hi,
I have a set of text Field items in oracle apex:
Order Number
Revision Number
When we open the report, revision should be hidden.
Only when the user enters unique order number (non-duplicate order numbers), revision number should be visible.
If he enters duplicate order number, revision number should be hidden.
Please help.

Please help.
Giving you example how to achieve this.
Step 1. Create three Page Items
    1) P1_ORDER_NO - Text Field
    2) P1_REVISION_NO - Text Field
    3) P1_ENABLE_DISABLE_REVNO - Hidden,Value Protected - No
2. Create 3 Dynamic Actions
1) Disable revision number on page load
    Event - Page Load
    Action - Disable
    Fire When Event Result Is - True
    Selection Type - Item
    Item - P1_REVISION_NO
2) Check duplicate order number
    Event - Change
    Selection Type - Item(s)
    Item(s) - P1_ORDER_NO
    Condition - is not null
    Action - Execute PL/SQL Code
    Generate opposite false action - Unchecked
    Fire When Event Result Is - True
    Fire on page load - Unchecked
    Stop Execution On Error - Checked
    Wait for Result - Checked
    PL/SQL Code -
declare
l_count number;
begin
select count(*) into l_count
    from emp
   where empno = :P1_ORDER_NO;
if l_count > 0 then
:P1_ENABLE_DISABLE_REVNO := 1;
else
:P1_ENABLE_DISABLE_REVNO := 0;
end if;
end;
Page Items to Submit = P1_ORDER_NO
Page Items to Return = P1_ENABLE_DISABLE_REVNO
3 ) Enable and Disable Revision Number
    Event - Change
    Selection Type - Item(s)
    Item(s) - P1_ENABLE_DISABLE_REVNO
   condition - greater than or equal to
   value - 1
   Action - Disable
   Fire on Page Laod - Unchecked
   Generate opposite false action - checked
   Selection Type = Item(s)
   Item(s) - P1_REVISION_NO
Hope this helps you,
Regards,
