How to detect an offline form ?

Question

Hello,
Here is my scenario : a manager fills the PDF online and when he validates it, Iu2019 m saving data and reloading the form with certains values changed (due to validation) and then I send the PDF by mail to the employee (because he canu2019t access to the portail and so has to fill the form offline).
When I reload the form after the validation, I set some fields editable and the others not editable and I send the mail. My issue is that, when I open the PDF offline, an other mail is sending (and I want not !) ; Iu2019ve tried to modify a value (defining in the context) to send or not the mail but itu2019s not taken into account.
Here is my code :
// On the u201CCommentairesSalarie u201C field, u201Cinitializeu201D event ; u201CActionSalarieu201D is the value I want to change to know when to send mail or not, but the change to u201C0u201D is not taken into account in the offline PDF, so it sends a mail again ; SubmitToSAP1 is an hidden button used to send the mail and submitToSAP2 is a visible button to call the server and refresh the PDF.
this.access = xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].VisibiliteChpsSal").rawValue;
if (this.access == "open" && xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[1].AppreciationsGlobales.Titulaire.Table11.Row2.ActionSalarie").rawValue == "1")
var adresse = xfa.record.E_Eaa_Local.Mail_Addr.value;
var objet = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Objet.value;
var entete = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Entete.value;
var intro = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Intro.value;
var fin = xfa.record.InfosMailAN.Fin.value;
var URLMail = "mailto:" + adresse + "?subject=" + objet + "&body=" + entete + intro + fin;
xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].submitToSAP1.#event.#submit").target = URLMail;
xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[1].AppreciationsGlobales.Titulaire.Table11.Row2.ActionSalarie").rawValue = "0";
     xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].submitToSAP1").execEvent("click");
     xfa.resolveNode("DataSource.PageAppreciationGlob.#subform[3].submitToSAP2").execEvent("click");
So, I wonder if itu2019s possible to detect that I am working with an offline or online PDF, so I could not send the mail in the offline case. Is there a way to distinguish the both cases ??
Or have you any others suggestions ?
I would sincerely appreciate your help !

Hello Anthony,
I think that what you want to do is a little different from my issue.
But I could explain to you what my issue was and how it was resolved and maybe it will give you some ideas for your issue.
I wanted to send a mail after a validation of the form during the online process.
Here are the steps :
1. User validates the form
2. Round-trip to server to save all data
3. Reloading of the form and sending of the mail with the PDF as attachment to an employee (no action of the user for this)
4. When the employee opens the form offline, the mail must not be sent.
For the step 1., the user clicks on a button
For the step 2., the method onActionSubmitPDF is called and I called the BAPI to update data. Then, I called the BAPI to read the new data and display them in the form. I have defined a value attribute in the context to tell that there is a mail to send ("ActionSalarie" is this variable, in the coding above)
For the step 3., in a text field, on the event DocReady, I test the value of the "ActionSalarie" attribute. As it equals to 1, I send the mail and put immediately, its value to 0.
For the step 4., the value equals to 0, so we don't execute the coding under the "if" statement.
I hope this could help you !
