Is it mandatory to bind each & every CONTEXT element to a text field on the form?

Hello,
I am developing an Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP)
I have 3 elements (say, 1_Name, 2_Street and 3_City) in the CONTEXT and drawn ONLY 2 input enabled TEXT fields (for items - Name and Street of conetext) and then, BINDED them.
I did not put any associate text field for CITY and no chance of binding!
Pls. let me know that, Now can i utilize this CITY (of context) element containign data in the Java script? is this CITY is VISIBLE in the java script, even though it did not get BINDED with any text field on the form?
THank you

Thank you.
If it got BINDED, i knew how to point/get/visible the CITY element (of CONTEXT) containming data by using the below java script,
(this.rawValue == "A") or i can also get it with script of VISITOR.Page3.Subform11.CITY.rawvalue = "A"
If i do NOT bind CITY to any TEXT FIELD of FORM, then, how i can retrieve/get/visible/point CITY content?

Regarding deactivation of fields in the form context

Hi friends,
In Adobe forms going into the form context when we drag and drop Global data from the Interface into the Context the data displays all the fields regarding the specific table.
So in that we can deactivate unwanted fields.
But my question is how can we deactivate unwanted fields in bulk rather than deactivating each and every unwanted single field which is time consuming?
Thanks,
Madhav

Every time I send a text, it sends the same message twice

I have had my phone for about a week now and every time I send a text to someone it sends the message twice.
I have no idea why this is happening. What can I do to stop it from sending the message twice?

Hi samglow!
Let's take a look into this, we want your messages sent only once. Let me ask...are you using a 3rd party application for messaging, or the app that came with the phone? Are you receiving messages just once, or more than once? What's the software version of your device?
To troubleshoot, please remove the SIM from the device, and power off/on. Then, test again.
Thanks!

I need a combo box with 4 values to choose from which will populate a text box on the form with text related to each combo box selection

For example:
Combo box choices:
apple
tomato
squash
Pumpkin
The text box depending on the selection above would state the color:
Green        (if Apple was chosen from the combo box
Red           (if Tomato was chosen from the combo box
Yellow       (if Squash was chosen from the combo box
Orange      (if Pumpkin was chosen from the combo box
I am very new at this and have spent hours looking for an answer. Thank to anyone in advance who can help!

Place each value as the export value of the options in the combo-box and then use this code as the text field's custom calculation script:
event.value = this.getField("ComboBox Name").value;

When we change the non-mandatory field in the form, it doesn't get updated

Hi... I have one question here..
If I have non-mandatory fields in a custom form, and when I query the form and change the value in the non-mandatory field and click on save, then it doesn't save. It says 'No Changes to Save'. But, it's not the same for non-mandatory fields.
Can you please suggest me?

VRdida,
If I understand correctly, you have a non-Required item in your form that has an LOV assigned. While this item is Required=No, it works correctly. When you change the Required property of the item to 'Yes' then it fails. When this occurs, do you get an error message? Are you able to select a value from the LOV?
It sounds like the Required=Yes property might be preventing you f rom opening the LOV. Try setting the Module property: Defer Required Enforcement = Yes. This is the typical setting in an EBS form. This is what allows you to navigate out of a Required field if the value is NULL, but will give you a Required message when you attempt to save the record if the value is still NULL.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Mandatory is checked when exiting radio groups, but not text fields?

I have a form with many questions, and most all of them are required. When tabbing out or otherwise exiting a radio group, the user gets warned if they did not select an item. When tabbing out of a text field, nothing happens. The user does get warned about the empty text fields if they try to submit the form.

The following is a very basic/general script used to check/test if a field's value is null after the user exits out of the field. Note that it will not prevent the user from submitting the form, however, it seems you are covering that "validation" via other means (i.e. field property).
if (this.rawValue == null){
xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter a value in this field. It can't be left empty", "REQUIRED", 0, 0);

I have CONTEXT and drwan input text fields in my_interactive_form.
1) I want to debug the form that How the CONTEXT is holding the values and With wht values the HIDDEN input text fields are holding?
2) is it mandatory to BIND each & every CONTEXT element to a text input field on the form IN ORDER TO utilize the context element content in the Java script editor?
Thank you

Thank you.
I am developing an VISITOR Adobe Interactive Form, i have Designer 8.1 and Reader 9.0 in my Windows 7 Laptop. When i checked the menu EDIT-->form properties --> Compatability, its Adobe XML form File (XDP) When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in a browser, right clicking and checked form
PROPERTIES, then i saw the "PDF Version: 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)"
When i opened this VISITOR interactive form in the browser, i did not see MENU options (like EDIT)! i saw small icons of Pring, Save, Page, Zoom, Find.
And a Purple ribbon with text of "Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form"
But, i did not see any other MENU optios, like FILE, EDIT, VIEW, DOCUMENT, TOOLS, WINDOW, HELP! Pls. let me know
But, i downloaded some 'ABC' pdf from internet and opened it, here i can see all these MENU options, like FILE, EDIT!
1) In this case, How can i setup DEBUGGING settings as mentioned above?
2) Why the MENU options got disappearing!
Than you

How to add bullet on every enter event in text field

Hello, Can someone please point me in the right direction. I am trying to add a bullet every time someone presses enter on the keyboard. this is within a textfield.
Thank you,
Howard

Hi
I would solve it by a script that checks your multiline field for newlines by ENTER key and insert "* " in the beginning of each line.
1) create a multiline field in your form
2) insert the script below in exit event... and enjoy the magic ;)
just 7 lines of code without comments. The split function is very powerful, I really use it alot now!
===== script start =====
//value of the field to insert "* " in each line
var sFldValue = this.rawValue;
//you split text in field for each '\r' = newLines made with enter
var tmpFldArray = sFldValue.split("\r");
//tmp string you concat your out text in
var sOutStr = "";
//for each line of text insert '* ' in beginning
for(var i = 0; i < tmpFldArray.length; i++){
//need to add '\r' because split removed it
sOutStr += "* " + tmpFldArray[i] + "\r";
//return manipulated string to your field
this.rawValue = sOutStr;
===== script end =====

Select Option's Context Element for the REPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGE

Hi,
We're on 7.0 ehp1.
I found a thread on same subject u201Cwdr:select_options and highlight Error Message with a Link to Inputfield u201C, Jul-23-2008, in which Thomas Jung gave an explanation of how to get the context element of the Select Options on a view.
I tried to follow it, but Iu2019m still not getting it. Please show how to get the context element of a Select Option for the u201CREPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGEu201D .
   wd_comp_controller->go_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message(
         exporting
          message_text   = ls_messaga_text
              element        = ?????
           attribute_name = ls_option_id
Thomas' explanation:
I gave you the code that gets you to the interface controller. From there you call the GET_API to get the component controller. After you have the component controller it is normal context coding to read the context of the Select-Options context. Run the debugger and use the Web Dynpro view to see what your context looks like at runtime. When I test this with one of my applications, the names of the context nodes that were dynamically generated was really straight forward - as it uses the names of the select-option itself. Nothing special once you reach this point - just normal context coding...."
Kind regards,
Huntr

Hi ,
Use the below approach to achieve this,
data:
    lr_context_node       type ref to if_wd_context_node,
    lr_element            type ref to if_wd_context_element,
    message_text          type string.
get the node and leadSelection of that field
    lr_context_node = get_node_of_sel_field( <field>-m_id ).
    lr_element = lr_context_node->get_lead_selection( ).
case <field>-m_type.
For Select option field
            when if_wd_select_options=>mc_sscreen_item_type_field.
              m_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message(
                element        = lr_element
                attribute_name = 'LOW'
                message_text   = message_text ).
"For Parameter field
            when if_wd_select_options=>mc_sscreen_item_type_parameter.
              m_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message(
                element        = lr_element
                attribute_name = 'VALUE'
                message_text   = message_text ).
            when others.
          endcase.

Values are generating in the prepopulated fields from the XML data sourece I binded to the fields

Hello,
Fairly new here.
I am trying to insert the payrate and name values in a pdf document on LiveCycle. I created the XML file from our access database (about 1100 names), created the text fields using the same field names in the XML file, connected the XML file in liveCycle, binded the fields but when I convert to PDF nothing is there. I think my issue is the script in the XML file. Has anyone else come across this issue. Please help me with what I am doing incorrectly.
I am hoping to just hit a button and 1100 documents will generate with the two fields prefilled. Am I dreaming?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Are the data values wildy different? i.e. Completely wrong, or are they off due to rounding?
I would start with member formulas and make sure that any in the BSO cube have been re-created in the ASO cube.
I guess, also double check that the level 0 export loaded, with no rejects.

Is it possible to automatically add a comma after every 6 characters has been typed in a text field?

Hope someone can help me.
What I basically need help with is how to make Acrobat add a comma after every 6 characters in a text field:
XXXXXX,YYYYYY, ZZZZZZ etc

I'm sorry, but I did not understand that (i'm using Acrobat Pro X)
Am I supposed to go to:
Text Field Properties > Format > Custom
and then use Custom Format Script or Custom Keystroke Script?
I tried both and it did not work.
And do the Text Field have to be named "chunkSize"?
Seems like it works. I had to move to the next formfield in order to see the effect.
Is it possible to make it happen in real time (as you type the comma is inserted?)

Round trip clearing adobe form field values not binded to webdynpro context

Hi ,
I have developed a webdynpro ABAP application with Interactive form. I'm calling a webservice on 'exit event' of the one of the form fields. Once webservice is executed, Im filling a table with 300 rows which is in the form. The table fileds are binded to webservice fields from the dataview of the form , these are not webdynpro context attributes in the data view.
But when I open any seach help , this table values are disappearing. I need to execute the webservice again to get the values.
can any one tell why the values in the table are disappearing? since I have binded to the webservice fields the values should remain there.
Apprecaite your response.
Regards,
Ravi

I looked over that note yesterday, but too quickly - i thought it was an older note explaining which standard programs to run to test out the connection etc...
but i see now that there is an important point:
The "pdfSource" attribute of the InteractiveForm UI element should be linked only if the Web Dynpro ABAP application requires the PDF document for further processing (saving data to the database, and so on). However, it is mostly only the data entered in the interactive form that is relevant for the application. If this attribute is linked, the Web Dynpro ABAP framework must request an updated PDF document from the Adobe document services each time data is changed in the form.
It looks like this is saying that a round trip is possible in WDA.
EDIT - I wish SAP would fix this certificate issue. My first post every day is doubled because of it.

How to bind Context elements to a HTML template

Hi,
I want to display all the context elements in my webDynpro application in a html page, I have html template my requirement is to bind all the context elements to fields in the html template.please provide me the solution.
thanks,
kishore.

Hi Kishor,
I do not think there is some straight forward solution for this scenario.
You need to create two applications 1 webdynpro application and one portal application.
What you can do is Pass the context values from webdynpro application to a flat file and store then in that(every time create a new flat file). Now after successfully creation of flat file call the portal application which reads the flat file and get the context values and set them.
If you require more info, i can help you.

HT4589 should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

should I install each update in successive order? Or will installing the 10.7 update automatically install every previous update? I have FCPX 10.0.0 currently. Dumb question?

Installing 10.0.7 negates the need to install previous updates. Just install it (it will upgrade your projects to a newer format as well, from memory).
Thankfully, the days of doing it the way you were thinking are well behind us.

WAD: anyway to bind each tab of the tab page web item to different query?

WAD: anyway to bind each tab of the tab page web item to different query?
We check the properties of the tab page web item, but can't find we can bind the tab to some query.
Any idea?
Thanks!

will try to write as much detail steps as i can...
drag tab page web item in wad window
go to its properties
for e.g. u currently have only 1 tab page
than name tab page1 as p1
hit button with ..
this will let u add new heading to tab page 2
likewise save heading of 4 tab pages in properties of tab pages
now choose container web item
drag it in tab pages window
assign seperate analysis item in each container item
assign seperate queries in each analysis web item.
assign container1 to tab page1
assign container2 to tab page2
assign container3 to tab page3
assign container4 to tab page4
and their heading viceverssa
save it execute it
now u will have 4 queries in 4 container item and uc an see that in different tab pages.
