Link (a href...) in form region

Is there a way to include a link to another page in a form region?
The only way, I could find, was to create a button template containing '#LABEL#<a>', but I was unable to set the link to link somewhere in my app and I wouldn't want to make a separate button template for each link I need in a form. AND I was unable to create branching using the button as the button condition, because the button just wasn't in the select list...

Please, can anybody help me with this? I need a few links among my form items. That should be a common need for any application or am I wrong? It should be possible or why not at least?
It would be nice, if the link could be conditionally displayed too, it would solve another problem of mine (see thread 'Custom Popup and READONLY field' at Custom Popup and READONLY field

Outlook controls in custom form region created in Visual Stdio 2010

Hi,
Is it possible to use all the outlook controls (e.g. Body control, Send button) in custom form region created in Visual studio.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Which control you are not able to use? Based on my understanding, there are two ways to custom the form region in Outlook.
First is creating a new form region by using the wizard. The second is importing a form region designed in Outlook.
In the second secnario, we can use add native Outlook controls to the form region. Native Outlook controls enable you to bind to Outlook data at design time. However, you cannot then use the form region designer to add managed controls or change the design
of the form region.

Creating a link in a PDF form to open into a new window

I have created the PDF form and every thing seems to be working fine. But I would like to set a link in the form that would open into a separate page. I have tried target="_blank" and onclick="window.open(this.href, 'child', 'scrollbars,width=650,height=600'); return false" with no success. Can someone give me some direction on how to create a link within a PDF form that will open into a new window?

Try this, using JavaScript:
app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com",true);

Can I use apexrefresh to refresh a form region?

Hi- I have a tree region and below that I have a form region.
The tree has links that calls a javascript function when a node is clicked.
I want this JS function to set the ID for the form and then refresh just the form portion so the tree stays in the open, partial open, or whatever state it is in.
function set_program_id(pPROG_ID){
alert(pPROG_ID);
$s('P21_PROG_ID',pPROG_ID);
apex.jQuery('#PROG_DETAIL').trigger('apexrefresh');
I have PROG_DETAIL in the STATIC ID field of the region.
It doesn't work... is it possible or is this only for IR regions?

I doubt the refresh functionality supports forms and trees. I have been able to get only report regions refreshed that way. Someone from the development team can probably answer that conclusively.
<li>You can think of invoking an Ondemand Process, return back JSON or XML for all the form item values and then set the form parsing that result set.
<li>Another way would be to use the new jQuery dialog functionality in Apex 4 to show a nice dialog box over the tree. The content of the box can be from another page where you can put your form in. When you show display the dialog you can set the dependent items (I suppose P21_PROG_ID ) first.
<li>If its just 2 or 3 items, you can even render them in a report as multiple rows and then refresh them.
For example
SELECT 'Prog Name' LABEL. APEX_ITEM.TEXT(1,progname) from .. where PROG_ID = :P21_PROG_ID
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Prog Description' LABEL. APEX_ITEM.TEXTAREA(1,description) from .. where PROG_ID = :P21_PROG_IDYou can try around with JS to display the content in the way you want it.
Now your form can be refreshed using a Dynamic action.
Personally I would choose using the jQuery Dialog Box as its more clean,is easily maintainable and looks nice.

Tabular form region and preserving state

Hi all,
I have a tabular form region (one of a few form regions) on my page... I'm trying to figure out how to preserve the other fields on the page (detail form), when tabular form buttons are clicked to add, update or delete rows.
The page obviously branches back to itself, but if a user has inputted changes in other form items on the page, they are lost.
I know it has something to do with how the item sources are derived... currently, they are tied to the database column, and the source is derived each and every time..
If I set it so it checks session state first, and if not null, get it from there, it'll work for the above use case. However, it causes problems if the user leaves the page by clicking elsewhere (ie back to master list), and decides to edit a different row... the detail form will pull the content from session state, and not from the db, and display the wrong information...
Hope this is clear enough... I appreciate your feedback
Thanks

Thanks for the reply...
I guess it is that simple... as long as I ensure that any link pointing to the detail form (ie edit, or view etc...) clears the page's cache, then I am guaranteed to have the database state and not the session state displayed...
My detail form items should then derive their source always from session state if not null, otherwise get the source from the DB...
This will ensure that when I branch back to the page when adding a row to my tabular form for instance, what was entered previously, would remain...
Thanks for the tip...

How can I set a graphic to link to a specific detail region?

I have a master/detail region set. Works fine. I'd like to place a graphic below the menu(master region) that would link to a certain detail region. I'm using HTML data set. Any thoughts?

Basically, the menu and description is created via Master/Detail regions. "Partnership Opportunity" links to its designated data description. BUT what I also want to do is link the graphic below the menu to the "Partnership Opportunity" designated data description. So, whether you click on "Partnership Opportunity" in the menu or click on the graphic it will open the same data description. It's all within a local testing environment. See attached.

I created a pdf form and then imported it to Forms Central for distribute. It is now loaded to my website and setup so a person clicks on the link to open the form. At this point they then have to go to upper right to open form using a different view. I would like the form to open directly in Adobe Reader form to make it easier to enter information. Thanks, Ike

If you created it in Forms Central, you have to edit it there. I believe Forms Central is similar to LiveCycle Designer in that the form created is no longer able to be edited in Acrobat. I might be wrong, but that is my understanding. You add the submit button in Forms Central. Within Acrobat, you should be able to go to the forms menu and Manage Data to save the data to an Excel file. Others better with forms should be by to clarify things, but this should get you started. In the future you might find it better to post a forms question in the forms discussions.

How does one get a simple URL link onto the Designer Form?

Greetings:
Thank heavens for small favors, kudos to Adobe for Designer and its basic email functionality.
One annoying thing, I am finding it impossible to put a simple link on the Designer Form. Likewise, if I open the form in Acrobat, the link icon on the toolbar is greyed and unavailable, so I cannot select text and turn it into a link.
I have found that I can make a bookmark with the form open in Acrobat and make that a link to a URL, but I cannot specify the initial view to show the bookmarks open, so there is a very good chance this bookmark/link will never be seen.
The HTTP button help states:
"The HTTP submit button operates like a standard button object with these settings:
Control Type set to Submit
Submit Format set to URL-Encoded Data
Submit To URL set to use the http: protocol."
which doesn't sound like it's meant to function like a simple link, and trying it anyway I get an error message that the url is incorrect.
Any ideas on this?

I guess one can't paste html in these posts, here's the code, minus all the html tags, and the brackets for the meta tag, title tag and body tag.
Opening URL in new window from Acrobat.
The Code for the first HTML page.
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=Original.pdf"
title New Page 1 title
BODY onload="window.open('startNewPDF.htm', 'newWindow')"
Code for the second HTML page which forces the new document to stay on top.
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; URL=New.pdf"
title New Page 1 title
body onBlur="setTimeout('self.focus()',2500)"
By the way, I figured out where to apply javascript to a button. Being new to Designer, I did not see that slender script interface at the top.
James' xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.yoursite.com",0); does indeed work like a charm. I just selected the button, selected Javascript instead of FormCalc, Selected "click" from the event dropdown, and pasted in xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.yoursite.com",0); (changing the URL of course).

How to pull a form region in AJAX

Carl,
I have implemented Carl's AJAX "region pull" example and works fine. This works fine as long as the region is report region. is it possible to pull a form region with items and submit button in AJAX way?. will it be possible to submit update and submit that pulled form. I just tried to do that and gave me the following error. any ideas are appreciated.
Error Item ID (2304200109596392) is not an item defined on the current page.
thanks,
Surya

Hello Surya,
I guess it depends your template. If it works for a report region and not for your forms region, you might want to have a look what the difference is in the templates for both regions.
You could give your form region the template of report region and see if that solves the problem?

Dimitri

Voice mail will open in Outlook 2010. The form region "UmOutllokAddinRA" cannot be opened.

I'm running Exchange Server 2007, Outlook 2010 and Lync 2010.
Unified Messaging is enabled. When a voice mail is left, the voice mail is delivered to my Inbox, but the message will not open. I get the error "The form region "UmOutllokAddinRA" cannot be opened. Outlook will use the default form instead."
If I have the Conversation History Add-in for Microsoft Lync 2010 enabled, I also get the error "The form region "IPM.Note.Microsoft.Missed.Voice.Region" cannot be opened. Outlook will use the default form instead." Disabling the
add-in clears the error.
Uninstalling Lync did not help so I'm not sure if that is the issue or not. I've tried reinstalling Outlook and Lync to no success.
Any thoughts?

I am getting the same thing with Exchange Server 2010, Outlook 2010, and Lync 2010.
It appears to be a client side error.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

The edit Link on my report form opens the page to create a new record.

For some reason my applications edit link on the report form is opening a new blank entry instead of pulling the data that needs edited from that row. I just have a basic report and form. Where can I check this Edit button to see if it is linking to the existing data?

I found my problem my select statement had the primary key column removed some how.

Item on form regions title line??

hi again,
seems as if this day is my day of questions :-)
I have a simple HTML-based form region on my page. how is it possible to display an item (i just need a bit of conditional text there, so my item of choice is the "display as"-item) among the title of the region ??
i can't use the button substitutes, so is there any workaround or am i missing something ??
thanks, hendrik :)

thanks roel :-) unfortunately that is not 100% what i'm looking for.
i'd like to populate this item after rendering via javascript. i don't know the value (e.g. number of rows shown in a report or "this region has changed" triggered by an onclick-event), which is to be displayed, at the time the substitution is done...
I need an referencable item next to the region's title.
do you have any idea how to solve this ??

How to add .js link in custom list form through sharepoint designer 2013

hi friends
so far i was adding jquery code to script editor webpart in custom list form.
but i need to know how to add .js link in custom list form through sharepoint designer 2013
please help me.

Hi,
We can add the "JS Link Property" in the “WebPart” node in the custom list form page through SharePoint designer 2013.
Here is an example for your reference:
<JSLink xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListForm">~site/Style Library/js/custom.js</JSLink>
Noticed that, we should not lose the 'xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ListForm' attribute.
