InstanceManager problem

Hi,
i am trying to add subform using instanceManger.addInstance(true); on a button click event. But subform/instance is not getting added.
I have created a POC sample and attaching an screenshot. Please let me knwo the issue why i am not able to add subform.
regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Due to some reasons i'm not able to mail you your form. But, see the solution below:
1) Set the "Subform1" binding property as : "Repaeat Subform For Each Data Item".
This would solve your problem.
Also, you need to set your Page1 to flow content. If not, when you add more instances your instances will go beyond the submit button without moving the button down.
Thanks,
VJ

Problems wiht instanceManager.addInstance() and signature fields

I have a subform that contains two signature fields which I have set to not lock any field during signing. This subform has the ability to appear in the PDF as may times as needed. The problem is that as soon as I click the button to add an instance to the form. All signature fields in the original subform and the newly created subform dissappear from the form.
What do I need to do to make sure that the signature fields are available when I create a new instance of the form?
Below is the code I am using to create the new instance:
var subForm =xfa.resolveNode("Affidavites.Affidavit");
if (subForm != null){
     subForm.occur.max
= "10";
     var newForm = subForm.instanceManager.addInstance(1);     newForm.presence
= "visible";
else     xfa.host.messageBox("Unable to create instance of Affidavit");

You can have a signature field, or multiple signature fields on a dynamic form, but you cannot place the signature field(s) inside a repeatable subform. This is nor supported and will not work.

Problem with buttons in repeated table header

I have a bunch of tables that expand/contract at the click of a button in their respective header rows.
The problem I'm having is when a table breaks to another page the button doesn't work properly in the repeated header - the scripted value isn't making it to the repeated button (I've also tried checkboxes).
Is there any way to make this happen? Should I try using variables to store a flag or something like that?
https://acrobat.com/#d=m7zuQYiUoFrtz5isD7rErQ

This issue is that the second header is an instance of the first, so all unmanaged relative code breaks. I would hazzard a guess to say that your add code looks like "$.parent.row1.instanceManager.addInstance(1)." This will break, as the "second" header row no longer sees the 'table' element as it's parent.
Changing to code to a static reference will fix it... i.e. xfa.form.form1.table1.row1.instanceManager.addInstance(1).
This should solve it for you... if not, let me know.

Do i have to use JavaScript to solve this relation Problem?

Hi everybody,
i have bounded the DataSource:
Node Customer (0..n)
- Attribute: Name
- Attribute: CustomerNo
-Node Orders (in Node Customer) also (0..n)
Attribute: CustomerNo
Attribute: OrderName
I have different Customers and every Customer have some Orders. Now i want a list in my interactive Form
with every Customer with his Orders, one after another-> like this:
Cutomer-Name: MSA AG Customer-CustomerNo: 1
- Order1
- Order2
- Order3
Customer-Name: NFKA Co.KG CustomerNo: 2
- Orderxx
- Orderxy
- Orderxz
So i made a
- subform (table-flowed)
-- subform1 (bodyrow-flowed- reapete subform for each data item)
-> in this subform are the fields Customer-Name and Customer-No
---subform2 (bodyrow-flowed-repeate subform for each data item)
-> in this subform are teh fields Customer-No and OrderName (both from Node Order)
so if i build my print form. The list ist mixed up:
First there is the first Customername, then all Orders of all Customers, then there is the list of all other Customernames.
But i want -> CustomerName-All Orders to this Customer, next CustomerName with all Orders to this Customer and so on...
How do i solve this problem?! Do i have to use Java Script ?! How would it look like and where i have to to write it (in Initialize of the Form)?
Edited by: Andreas Kunz on Dec 18, 2008 1:15 PM
Here is the Java Code (Web Dynpro) where i fill the Nodes with some Datas:
IPrivatePagebreak.ICustomerElement customer = null;
     for( int i=0; i<5;i++){
     customer = wdContext.createCustomerElement();
     customer.setCustomerno(String.valueOf(i));
     customer.setFirstName("FirstName"+i);
     customer.setLastName("LastName"+i);
     customer.setPosition("Position"+i);
     customer.setNationality("Nationality"+i);
     wdContext.nodeCustomer().addElement(customer);
     IPrivatePagebreak.IOrderElement order = null;
     for(int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
          order = wdContext.createOrderElement();
          order.setCustomerno(String.valueOf(i));
          order.setOrderno("No"ij);
          order.setOrderName("Order"ij);
          wdContext.nodeCustomer().nodeOrder().addElement(order);

Hi,
you have two possibilities:
a) use Java Script in the Form:
    - Loop over the customers
      - Loop over the orders. Create a new instance of the table (instanceManager.create ...)
b) Modify your data structure using table in table and map the into sub-forms:
    - Outer sub-form with the customers
    - Inner sub-form with a table of the orders
Using the option b) would be better. You avoid horrible Java Script in the Form.
Take care,
Thomas

Using string to designate a subform for the instanceManager

var propOptSubformID     = "8011"
var propSubformName     = Concat("SubformPropOption",propOptSubformID,".instanceManager")      //since instanceManager is object
$.resolveNode(propSubformName).setInstances(1)
I get:
I can't seem to find a way to use the instanceManager and successfully reference a subform using a string. Any ideas?
I want to avoid using conditional statements or switch if possible. I have 35 different subforms eachl with 0 instances. I want to identify one of the subforms using a variable (string) and make it exist. There has to be a way to do this, right?
I may have to name all the subforms the same and use an index--but I would like to avoid that, Or, I suppose I could loop through the siblings and compare my string to the subform name--but I think this might end up having the same problem. It would be really good to know how to do it with a string and the instanceManager..
Thanks,
Stephen
PS, I also tried
var propSubformName     = Concat("SubformPropOption",propOptSubformID,".instanceManager.setInstances(1)")
$.resolveNode(propSubformName)
and... Nothing happens? No error and no subform either?

Thanks Robert,
I might be missing something--I've never seen square brackets used in the way you suggest. Am I missing something?
The subform doesn't have an index[propOptSubformID] It would have an index[0] when it actually does exist. This isn't really an index problem. That would be easy and I think I may have to go that way (i.e. name them alll the same and reference them by index) if I can't reference the object.instanceManager and use its method setInstances() with a string.
This might be a clue: the error message referred to setInstances() as a property--it is a method(). If it had recognized it as a method, then it the error would have said that the object doesen't have a method setInstances(). Also, it represented the ("1") as a string when it an integer parameter for setInstances().

Facing problem While deleting rows and adding rows

Hi,
In my form i have pass values to table rows by selecting values from Dropdown list.
i have taken 3 hidden obj and passing the dropdown values to hidden objects and then from hidden objects to table rows.
h1,h2,h2 are hidden obj
EMPNO,EMPNAME, DESIGNATION are drop downlist
i have add button with the following code
if(form1.P1.ItemSet.EMPNO.rawValue != null){
form1.P1.ItemSet.instanceManager.addInstance();
form1.P1.execInitialize();
var dynamicArray = form1.P1.resolveNode("ItemSet[" + arrayIncri + "]");
dynamicArray .EMPNO.rawValue = form1.P1.hidden.h1.rawValue;
dynamicArray .EMPNAME.rawValue = form1.P1.hidden.h2.rawValue;
dynamicArray .DESIGNATION.rawValue = form1.P1.hidden.h3.rawValue;
arrayIncri++;
form1.P1.SF1.EmpID.rawValue = null;
form1.P1.SF1.EmpName.rawValue = null;
form1.P1.SF1.Designation.rawValue = null;
My delete button code is
_ItemSet.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
form1.P1.execInitialize();
My problem is adding is happening while click and deleting is happening to the perticular row but once i delete paricular row then again if i want to add new row then it is taking null values . and agian if i click add then the values are passing to the next row
means i am getting null row if i do add funtionality after delete funtionality....
Please help me out in this..

Controlling a dynamic Table with a Checkbox (InstanceManager, moveInstance issue)

Hello,
I am having some problems in using InstanceManager (dynamic tables). I try to add and delete new rows by using checkboxes. If a checkbox gets clicked a new row, with a value given from the checkbox, appears. If a checkbox gets deactivated, then the row, it has created, is going to be removed.
I use addInstance to add new lines into the table. In this case new line apperas always at the end of the table, which is just perfect! It is exactly the way I need it. But I have no idea how to pass over the value of my checkboxes right to the last line of my table.
I have tried to use moveInstance an it just messed up my form. (uploaded here: www.hs-augsburg.de/~nikg-fh/mypdf.pdf )
My Form:
My Code:
MyForm.page1.checkbox1::change - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "1")
var myInstance = xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable._MyRow.addInstance(1);
var fromIndex = xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable._MyRow.index;
var toIndex = myInstance.index;
// Value of col. "CheckBox-Value"
    xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable.MyRow.checkboxValue.rawValue = "CheckBox 1"; // <<<<<HERE IS THE PROBLEM!!!!!
// Value of col "fromIndex"
    xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable.MyRow.fromIndex.rawValue = fromIndex;
// Value of col "toIndex"
    xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable.MyRow.toIndex.rawValue = toIndex;
// Move Row
    xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable._MyRow.moveInstance(fromIndex, toIndex); // <<<< Don't need to use this Method?!
else
var rowToDelete = xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable._MyRow.index;
    xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable._MyRow.removeInstance(rowToDelete);
    xfa.form.MyForm.page1.deletedRow.rawValue = rowToDelete + 1;
it just gets messed up with this code, because of moveInstance (all checkboxes have similar coding):
any checkbox clicked:
checkbox1 klicked
checkbox 2 klicked:
checkbox 3 klicked:

Hi,
I don't think checkboxes are a very intuiative way for the user to add rows.
That said, the main issue is that you are not specifying which instance of MyRow you want to set the value of checkboxValue. So this line:
xfa.form.MyForm.page1.MyTable.MyRow.checkboxValue.rawValue = "CheckBox 1"
Would become:
var i = page1.MyTable._MyRow.count - 1;
xfa.resolveNode("page1.MyTable.MyRow[" + i + "]").checkboxValue.rawValue = "CheckBox 1";
Also I would place the script in the click event of the checkbox, as the change event uses "xfa.event.newText". The click event uses "this.rawValue" as you have it.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Problem when transporting form from DEV system to PRODUCTION system

Hi Experts,
We are developing forms in ABAP, for example there is a form developed in dev system and this form has JS coding in some UI elements events like initialize, on change and on exit; also has one script object defined as variable. this script object has some functions defined in order to do some common validations and field specific ones too.
The form in DEV work fine, all the functions calling, all the validations and the events are working properly as expected. But there is a problem when we moved the changes done in development system into production system. Specifically the script object has the problem: even though the coding is the same in both systems, in production system we had an script error: "Body.CATALOGPARAMS has no properties", as if the Body.CATALOGPARAMS was never instanciated, or it is not defined...
The code that produces this error is the following:
var itemCount = 0;
itemCount = Body.CATALOGPARAMS.DATA.instanceManager.count;
CATALOGPARAMS is table defined as context table coming from an ABAP FM where is filled and passed into the form.
In order to fix this problem I changed that part for the following
var itemCount = 0;
var catalogTable = null;
catalogTable = xfa.resolveNode("Body.CATALOGPARAMS.DATA");
itemCount = catalogTable.instanceManager.count;
This still works as fine as the other in DEV system. But my question is: will I have the same problem when we transport the changes to production system, you have to know that a transport is not something that you can do every day, so I am taking precautions before the transport. Which of both coding is the best for doing this?
Any observations, comments, questions in order to clarify some points are welcome, so please do it.
In advance, thanks a lot.
Mauricio.-

As always, you are the first one to reply... thanks for that!
before everything, I activated the form, then I added this form to a new transport using se80 transaction: I navigated through the form objects and I added the form to a new transport by second click on the form -> other functions -> write transport entry. is this the correct way to assign a transport package with the entire form (including script objects, layouts, and all you told in the last reply)??
Can you give me a guide on how-to add the specific parts to the same transport for forms?
as always, thanks in advance.

Problem in adding rows in a table

Hello All ,
I am having a strange problem in adding table rows here . All things seems to be in place . But when i click the button nothing happens . I have worked on much more complex tables and added rows safely but i cant understand what's happening here . I have saved the form as Dynamic XML form , interactive form , I have set the pagination of the repeating rows . But Heck !!! It's not working at all . I am totally confused . More over while i drag the table from the object palette an error appears and LC closes down .But when i click on the table at the toolbar and inserted table over there then it shows no error . What's happening ?? Any help is greatly appreciated .
Script : form1.Page1.Subform1.Button1::click - (JavaScript, client)
form1.Page1.Subform1.Table1.Row4.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
Thanks .

Hi,
The way you described reminded me of another thread, where the index was not straightforward: Saving finished Form duplicates some subForms

Remove subform instance problem

HI there
I am using the following code to remove the last subform instance
subform.instanceManager.removeInstance(1)
However in test it appears to be removing the last instance but one.
Can anyone help me fix this.
Thanks
Darren

Hi Paul
Many thanks for your quick response. When I added that to my form it removed the first instance rather than the last instance. I had a look on the links here and for any one else that has a similar prob the following seems to have fixed the problem
subform.instanceManager.removeInstance(subform.instanceManager.count-1)
Thanks again

Remove Spots Cursor Problem

I have a strange problem with Remove Spots on my desktop PC (WinXP, Core Duo 2.4, 4Gb Ram) running LR 1.3.1
The remove spots cursor seems to have some sort of crazy damping effect (the best way I can describe it). If I move the cursor then stop, the cursor keeps going i.e. it overshoots. I can press the spacebar to switch cursor to the hand tool, move that normally and that works just fine. Not very practical though.
The same set up on my somewhat less powerful laptop works just fine.
I'm hoping someone here can help with suggestions.
Many thanks
Martin

Subforms within subforms add Instance problem

Hi
I am new to Adobe Livecycle Designer (I am using version 8.2.1) but I have successful made nearly all elements of the quite long form I need to produce except for one section I am having difficulty getting it to function correctly. In the example I have a repeating subform ‘Organisation’ on page subform ‘Membership’ which has buttons to add and remove instances, which work correctly. But within each instance of this ‘Organisation’ subform is another repeating instance subform ‘ExpertNames’ with buttons to add and remove instances.
The ‘Organisation’ form allows an organisation to be named and the ‘ExpertNames’ subform allows multiple members for that organisation to be named and associated to each organisation. The user should be able to list multiple organisations each with one or more members. I can successfully add multiple instances of ‘Organisation’ form one after another using
Membership.Organisation.instanceManager.addInstance(1)
and remove the selected instance using
Membership.Organisation.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.index)
I have the following set on the button to add a new instance of the ‘ExpertNames’ form
Membership.Organisation.ExpertNames.instanceManager.addInstance(1);
and the following to remove the selected instance of the 'ExpertNames' form
Membership.Organisation.ExpertNames.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
However when I add a second instance of the ‘Organisation’ form i.e. a new organisation and try and add additional members to the 2nd organisation it adds them to the 1st organisation rather than the second! I have an example of the problem form i can send if needed.
Hope someone will be able to help with this.
Many thanks in advance
Lara

I still have not been able to find a solution to this does anyone have any ideas?
I have an example of the problem in a form that I can email.

Subform add Instance problem

G'day
I'm very new to LiveCycle and teaching myself to create forms
I have a drop down box in a subform requesting information. Depending on the information required certain text boxes will appear (using switch case script) dateFrom dateTo dateCourt txtOther
When I add a new instance of this subform the list appears correctly in the drop down box but when the item is selected the text boxes do not appear at all.
I am probably missing something fundamental. Any ideas

Hi,
the problem is your SOM expression.
When you write RFI.InfoRequested.Info.dateFrom.presence = "hidden"; the PDF-viewer interprets it always as RFI[0].InfoRequested[0].Info[0].dateFrom[0].presence = "hidden"; where the accessor [n] is always 0 which means the first instance of the related object.
It should work if you just write dateFrom.presence = "hidden"; because the object is at the same level in the hierarchy and there is no need to parse the entire tree to find the object.

My interactive form is a hot mess (multiple problems with javascript and formcalc)

I have been working on a dynamic expense report form for our company but have run into a number of problems. I would appreciate help with any of these!
Problem 1:
Last subform: Table 4 (Miscellaneous Expenses) - This subform does not force down the footer section (signature, comments) like the other subforms do. The table is located in a positioned subform inside a flowed subform. The other 3 tables have no problem pushing the data down.
Problem2:
The minus button on the tables (to subtract a row) USED to work but now do not.The minus button on EVERY table is broken.
Problem 3:
The add row button still works fine on most of the tables (with exception of the last table, MISC Expenses). If I add a few lines to the last subform it seems the buttons stops working altogether past row 3. you have to add 2 rows to the final table (Misc Expenses) to see what I mean. It seems to me that this problem is probably related to Problem 1 somehow.
Problem 4:
Can't get GRAND TOTAL working no matter what I try.
I uploaded my work in progress here: www.essential-equipment.com/pdf/ExpenseReport.pdf
If anyone is able to help me I would greatly appreciate it. Also, would it be hard to make this form able to carry over to a new page?
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps

Hi.
Problem 1:
The sourrounding subform "Table4Subform" is not set to fit the hight automatically.
Problem 2.
The remove script is way to complex, use this script instead:
if (this.parent.parent.instanceManager.count > 1) {
this.parent.parent.instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.parent.index);
Problem 3:
Remove the Grouping "Body", then the subform flow crrectly to the next page.
Problem 4:
The reference to the total fields are not correct, that's why the grand total script fails.
Change it into:
Sum(Table1Subform.Table1.FooterRow.Total1, Table23Subform.Table2.FooterRow.Total2, Table23Subform.Table3.FooterRow.Total3, Table4.FooterRow.Total4)
