How do I bring form fields to the front or back?

I have a document with many form fields/push-buttons in order to create pup-up effects in an info graphic.
So I use fields to create a mouse-over hot spot, and others that pop up. Now, of course, the hot spot must be in front (or on top), otherwise it gets distracted in it's mouse-over function by the popped-up object (image) that lays over it. (The result would look like a flashing effect, as you roll over the hot spot.)
Now how do I arrange the fields?? Ich can arrange images and texts to come to the front or hide behind other objects. But in the form field editing mode there is no such option. Also it doesn't work to just cut and paste them, they re-appear in their former position, often behind the other fields.
Please, help! Thanks, Peder

Thanks, I will give it a try. To "recieve the focus" means being activated / hovered?

The tab order effectively sets the z-order, but if a field is not read-only it will be set to the front if it receives the focus.

How do I bring a window to the front from a different VM ?

The problem I am facing is as follows:
We have an application the loads a plugin which the starts another VM. This VM has some UI components as does the initial VM. I need to be able to bring a window from either VM to the front. It appears that Windows 2000 doesn't allows this.
Any ideas ???
Here is some sample code. Run it twice so you get two VMs.
Thanks

toFront()
Some platforms do not allow Windows which own other Windows to appear on top of those owned Windows. Some platforms may not permit this VM to place its Windows above windows of native applications, or Windows of other VMs. This permission may depend on whether a Window in this VM is already focused. Every attempt will be made to move this Window as high as possible in the stacking order; however, developers should not assume that this method will move this Window above all other windows in every situation.
Because of variations in native windowing systems, no guarantees about changes to the focused and active Windows can be made. Developers must never assume that this Window is the focused or active Window until this Window receives a WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS or WINDOW_ACTIVATED event. On platforms where the top-most window is the focused window, this method will probably focus this Window, if it is not already focused.

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

How to Validate a Portal Form field from the database

I created a Portal Form based on a procedure, which requires three parameters. One of the parameters is Item Number. I need to check if the Item Number exists in database. I am trying to use pl/sql button event handler, where I try to use the select count(*) statement to verify. However, I don't know how to reference the form field in the where clause. Please advise. Or is it possible to achieve this by creating a javascript? If you go to 'Shared Component' provider and click on javascript, you will see some system validation scripts, which you can call in the form level validation. My doubts with javascipt is how I can talk to database in the script? Any input is appreciated.

Hi,
You cannot access the DB from the script. If you want to access the values of a field you should use session variables. Here is a sample to access the values of a form field.
declare
ticket_no varchar2(20);
flight_no varchar2(20);
blk varchar2(30) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
ticket_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_TICKET_NO');
flight_no := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_FLIGHT_NO');
end;
Thanks,
Sharmila

A short tip that details how to create editable form fields using Acrobat X Std. or Pro.
http://adobe.ly/wzXkmL

I have created a form which will be filled out by customers and sent back to me via 'submit' button. What I am trying to figure out is when we receive the filled out form, is there any way to have it as a pdf. To clarify, when the form is filled out and sent, the receiver opens the email and attached is a non-editable pdf. This way the customers information is no longer editable.

Mapping of Tax Form Fields to the PDF Tax Form

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to see the mapping betw the Tax Form fields and the Tax Form in pdf format. For example in Quarterly State Unemployment form, I have a Tax Form field T003. How can I map this field to a particular field in the Tax Form in pdf format ?
Thanks And Regards,
Somdeb Banerjee.

Hello Somdeb,
To use the Tax form field say T003 in PDF, there check box 'Form Processing Indicator' should be checked then only the field is available in PDF to be linked.

How to update a form after changing the underlying table

Hi All,
I have read a few posts on this, and I know that it would have been better to not do this, but I had to add a new column to a table in order to meet a new requirement.
See this post:
Design Question - Slowly Changing Dimensions (I think)
I decided that I would store the 'price' with the 'mailed_item' - so I had the actual price at the time the item was mailed. And then the MST table could be updated as needed without impacting the historic records.
Now my issue is: How do I add another field to the form (I was thinking hidden) that would reference the price from the Mail_Service_Type table?
Mailed_Item
ID
MST_ID (Mail_Service_Type FK)
Piece_Count
Price (**New)
Mail_Service_Type
ID
Name
Weight
Price
Can this be done easily, or should I recreate the form? Is is just a simple PL/SQL or SQL statement? Or should I build another process (maybe a trigger) to get the value?
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
Corey

Nahman,
Typically it's enough to re-load data used: check binding of your UI controls on second tab to context attributes and depict what nodes are used. Then re-initialize these nodes: either just via invalidating them or via re-binding elements / re-executing queries + re-binding elements.

How to insert Adobe Form Data in the SAP backend?

Hi there,
I am very new to Adobe Forms. I am supposed to come up with a working scenario of inserting few form fields into the SAP backend. Is this done through a BAPI call? Or is there any other way for this to achieve?
I have downloaded trial version of Adobe LifeCycle Designer. But I don't know how to integrate this with the SAP system. Is there anything else that I need to install in my system?
Is there a document on how to configure all the installations for both local machine and the server (if any)?
Please help.....
[I went through the forum for this, but I did not get anything]
Warm regards,
Deepak

Insertdata_Input input = new Insertdata_Input();
wdContext.nodeInsertdata_Input().bind(input);
input.setFname(elem.getFname());
input.setLname(elem.getLname());
try
wdContext.currentInsertdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();

How to disable certain form fields from a calculation with a check mark fields.

How to disable certain form fields from a calculation with a check mark fields.
In Canada we have to taxes
I create a form that calculate them to a total
I need to be able to turn off any of those to taxes to participate to the calculation and their visibile field should become 0
I was thinking using a checkbox (when checkbox is on (Yes) the tax is calculated, Not ticked (Off) the tax is not calculated and the visible field should show 0 or nothing....
I really need help on this one — I’m a complete newbie....
Remark that the second tax is calculated on the sum of what the first tax add (first tax is pan-canadian tax (all provinces).
The second tax is never use alone (Quebec only (on top of the Canadian one)
Sometime for outside Canada sell - No tax at all is calculated....
What should I do?

I want to tank you to help, really appreciate —>
This is the code and order... I just trow the checkbox in there (they have, so far, no purpose...)
The code use is
var a = this.getField("pricehorstx");
event.value = Math.round (a.value * 7.25) / 100
I guess -If the checkBox are check - The tax should be calculate — If “Off” the tax should be not calculated and PriceHST and /or PriceQST should show zero or be empty — The HST is always calculated in Canada, but the QST is added only in Quebec.
I need to turn both to Zero for international sale.

How do I lock a field so the current type in it cannot be overriden?

how do I lock a field so the current type in it cannot be overriden?

You can make the field Read Only. You need to be aware that if the form is cleared the typed value in the field will clear and the text in the "Options" "Default Value" will become the field's value. You can use JavaScript to make a form field Read Only and set the default value.

How do I change a field in the sum in ALV (List or grid)

My alv, for example:
1.10
2.30
1.50
Sum(DO_SUM) : 4.90
But I need to CEIL( 4.90 ) before showing .
It should be shown as 5.00 in alv.
How do I change this field in the sum ?

Use the following code in a PBO module or in an adequate event method
data: total type ref to data,
      subtotal1 type ref to data.
field-symbols: <total> like gt_sflight,
               <subtotal1> like gt_sflight.
call method grid1->get_subtotals
importing
    ep_collect00 = total
    ep_collect01 = subtotal1.
assign total->* to <total>.
assign subtotal1->* to <subtotal1>.
