Loop through form controls

Hi
Anyone know how I can use Javascript to loop through each
text box on a page
when the page loads?
Something along the lines of :
For Each document.form.input.text In document.form
Thanks

while(inputQty--){
if(inputs[inputQty].type=="text"){
//do stuff with text field
inputs[inputQty].value="This is text field No.
"+(inputQty+1);
</script>
Note that this function retrieves *all* text fields, from
*all* of your
forms in the document.

Loop through all controls in view

Hi Everyone,
I need to cycle through all the controls on a view.
I have set each of the controls of type UISegmentedControl with a unique tag number.
I am using this tag number to perform a lookup in database for the value of the segmented control.
So, my question is this.... how do i cycle through all the controls on a view?
thank you
take care
tony

I think we are close - just one correction.
The segmented controls are all at design time, there will be no new controls added.
I'm not clear on what's been corrected. The sample code I gave you assumed all the controls were known at compile time. So I think the example code addressed the problem you're trying to solve. The last paragraph of that post was just an afterthought, to explain what to do in case you ever needed to add controls dynamically.
-> loop through all controls on view
-> if control is of type uisegmentdcontrol
then do database lookup on tag
Set segment value to value returned from database
Once again, if I correctly understand the above, the code I gave you does exactly what you want. You haven't indicated you want to take any action when a control is not a segmented control, so I don't see why you'd want to include them in the loop. However, if you actually do need to enumerate non-segmented controls (or other subviews), my last response advised you to set the tag properties of all those other controls, making sure the range of those tags is different from the range of the seg control tags.
The part that eludes me is the looping through all the controls on the view
I guess the part that eludes me is why you're so interested in enumerating all the controls, when you only seem to be interested in the segmented controls. But even if you really do need to look at every control, I don't see why you're rejecting the solution I gave you. [viewWithTag:|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Ref erence/UIViewClass/UIView/UIView.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP40006816-CH3-SW26] is a powerful method which recursively walks the entire view hierarchy to find whatever tag it's looking for. If you use it correctly (e.g. by assigning unique tag numbers that tell you what type of control you've found), it will save you lots of trouble.
If, for some reason, you insist on doing this job without using viewWithTag, the next best might be something like this:
- (void)doSomethingWithEachSegCtrlInView:(UIView *theView) {
UIView *subView;
for (subView in theView.subviews) {
if ([subView respondsToSelector:@selector(selectedSegmentIndex)]) {
// subView is a segmented control ...
else {
// subView is not a segmented control ...
if ([subView.subviews count]) {
// this subview has its own subviews
[self doSomethingWithEachSegCtrlInView:subView];
Note that the above is a more difficult, more error prone method than the sample in my first response. Firstly, it needs to recurse in case any controls are placed on subviews of the main view (or on subviews of those subviews, etc.), a capability already built into viewWithTag. Secondly it needs to identify the type of each subview object. [respondsToSelector:|http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Co coa/Reference/Foundation/Protocols/NSObjectProtocol/Reference/NSObject.html#//appleref/occ/intfm/NSObject/respondsToSelector:] is the preferred way of identifying the class of an object, especially when the selector argument represents one of the methods you intend to use. However there's no reason to get into the business of identifying the class of an object, when you could have given that object a unique tag number in the xib, where there was no question about its class.
Hope the above communicates the solution better than my first response!

Looping through form

I have a page,
http://www.boey.com/hms/vbc/vbc_edit_po.cfm?PO=333
that I need to save the data per "line_id" on the next page.
However, when I loop through the "Line_id" it puts the data from
the form fields, "W/S" like this... 45,50 so I tried looping
through both "Line_id" and "w/s" and it doesn't work. How can I can
update my table from this form? There are two different tries in my
attached code.
Thanks,
Courtney

Neither of those suggestions are working. I tried various
things with those two statements and I'm still getting an error
which is below. What is weird is that it reads this from the
previous page..
<input type="Text" name="LineID#GetInfo.CurrentRow#"
value="#GetInfo.Line_id#">
Since the code you provided is still not working maybe I have
this statement incorrect. Getting frustrated.

Forms 6i loop through datablock question

I am writing a piece of code to loop through items with in a datablock to programmatically set the width between each field.
I created my data block through the wizard, but then manually added some fields. I have them listed in the order I expect them to be navigated, which is the order I expect them to appear on the screen.
When I am looping through the data block, I was assuming that next_item would go to the next navigable item, and it doesn't.
For example, I have items received_today, worked_today, total_waiting, total_for_today, total_calls, total_priority.
When the code loops through the data block, it actually loops in this order: received_today, worked_today, total_callbacks, total_priority, total_waiting, total_for_today.
I even set the next navigation item property for each item, but that didn't help.
My questions:
1. Is there a way to control what order the data block loops through items?
2. Why does this line get_item_property(get_block_property(block_name, FIRST_ITEM), x_pos); sometimes return null? (in my "proof of concept" form it returns a value, but the form I am modifying does not)
Following is my code:
PROCEDURE set_x_y_positions IS
     current_x_position pls_integer;
     current_y_position pls_integer;
block_name varchar2(30) := 'BLOCK22';
CurrentItem varchar2(30);
BEGIN
go_block(block_name);
current_x_position := get_item_property(get_block_property(block_name, FIRST_ITEM), x_pos);
current_y_position := get_item_property(get_block_property(block_name, FIRST_ITEM), y_pos);
      go_block(block_name);
loop
     BEGIN
            if :system.cursor_item <> (block_name || '.' || get_block_property(block_name, FIRST_ITEM))
                 and get_item_property(:system.current_item, displayed) = 'TRUE' then
              SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(:system.current_item, x_pos, current_x_position + 38);
              current_x_position := get_item_property(:system.current_item, x_pos);
            end if;
            if :system.cursor_item = 'BLOCK22.INTERNATIONAL' THEN--block_name || '.' || get_block_property(block_name, LAST_ITEM) then
                      exit;
            else
                 next_item;
            end if;
       END;
end loop;
END;I am using Forms 6i version 6.0.8.26.0
Thank you!
Katia

I do have an exit, and yes it does run well.
     if :system.cursor_item = 'ATS_MON_REPORTING_QUEUES_VW.INTERNATIONAL' THEN--block_name || '.' || get_block_property(block_name, LAST_ITEM) then
                      exit;
            else
                 next_item;
            end if;That redundant go_block is there because I had some output going to a dummy field in another block, so I had to make sure it was navigating back to the block. But yes, in this code example, that go_block is redundant.
Thank you, adding the
current_x_position := get_item_property(block_name||'.'|| get_block_property(block_name, FIRST_ITEM), x_pos);
current_y_position := get_item_property(block_name||'.'|| get_block_property(block_name, FIRST_ITEM), y_pos); worked perfectly.

Ok, here's a working testcase.
The idea is taken from an article from an oracle magazine (i don't have it at hand, , so i tried to rebuild it by "memory". As far as i remember the original was from the german doag-magazine and was written by Gerd Volberg).
Procedure to do the looping:
PROCEDURE PR_DO_THE_LOOP IS
nNumberInOneStep NUMBER:=2;
tm               TIMER;
BEGIN
     DEFAULT_VALUE(0, 'GLOBAL.INDEX');
IF :GLOBAL.INDEX=0 THEN
     -- Didn't run yet, determine the max count
     :GLOBAL.MAX:=10000;
END IF;
LOOP
     -- Do the looping stuff
     -- Decrease counter
     nNumberInOneStep:=nNumberInOneStep-1;
     -- Increase globale counter
     :GLOBAL.INDEX:=:GLOBAL.INDEX+1;
     -- Exit conditions
     EXIT WHEN nNumberInOneStep=0;
     EXIT WHEN TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX);
END LOOP;
-- reset index at end
IF TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.INDEX)>=TO_NUMBER(:GLOBAL.MAX) THEN
     :GLOBAL.INDEX:=0;
ELSE
     -- start timer for next iteration
     tm:=CREATE_TIMER('TM', 10, NO_REPEAT);
END IF;
END;The WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED-trigger
IF :GLOBAL.INTERRUPTED='Y' THEN
     MESSAGE('Interrupted at index ' || :GLOBAL.INDEX);

Tree control loop through nodes

Hi All,
I have a tree control. I want to loop through the nodes and
add all the nodes to an array collection.
How do I do it?
Thanks in advance;
Josh

It depends on the data type of the dataProvider.
If XML, then myXML.descendants(); will return an xmlList of
all nodes. You could loop over the XMLList and build an
ArrayCollection
If the dataProvider is a collection, then you will need a
recursive function to process the dataProvider.

Loop through all fields in a (2 page) form?

Is it possible to do it in one go?
suppose you have fields in 2 pages.. (2 subforms)
would you have to write a script that would check for all fields in page 1
and another to check for all fields in subform 2?
or can you just loop through the parent of the 2 subforms?.. (the aim would be to check that all required fields have been filled in or are not equal to their default value)
thank you in advance

You can certainly write a script that'll find all fields on all pages and perform some action on them.
I've included a sample form which contains two pages with fields on them. At the top of the first page, there's a "Find Fields" button which, when pressed, populates the list box next to it with the names of each field found across all pages. Clicking on an item in the list box will then set focus to that field.
The script uses a recursive function called GetFieldNames in a Script Object called "Utils". In the function, lines 21 - 25 are as follows:
else if (oNode.className == "field")
// oNode is a field
sFieldNames += (sFieldNames.length > 0 ? "\n" : "") + oNode.name;
If you wanted to verify that all mandatory fields were filled, you could change them to this:
else if (oNode.className == "field")
// oNode is a field
if (oNode.mandatory == "error" && (oNode.rawValue == null || oNode.rawValue.length == 0))
sFieldNames += (sFieldNames.length > 0 ? "\n" : "") + oNode.name;
That would find only fields that are required and haven't been filled accross all pages.

Question about Looping through tables in Adobe Form

Hello,
We have an adobe form which is to be filled offline. It consists of a table. Table can have repeating rows and user can add\remove rows as they wish. The cardinality of the context node where we need to bind this table data is set to 1n
We want to know the process to get all the values in the table back into our context node once the form is uploaded. I assume we need to loop through the table, and add elements to the context node. Can someone please let us know if were on the right track, and provide some sample code if possible?
<b>We cant figure out a way to loop through a table inside an Adobe form.</b>
We are using Web Dynpro Java with Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.1
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob.

Try using...
for (z = 0; z < 16; z++) {
this["cb"+z].setStyle("styleName", "cssCBstyle");
That is the way to target them. I haven't dealt with setting styles, so I can't answer for that aspect working or not.

Custom pll to disable form messages while looping through block records

I need to loop through block records in CUSTOM pll to check for if one check box is checked or not. But in that process the messages written at the forn level are popping up which are of no use to the user. I want to disable the messages for my looping. I would enable it after the processing in CUSTOM PLL

Looping through collection of symbols and populating a drop down on a form EXTENDSCRIPT

Hello everyone-
I got a question. Would it be possible to run a script that would loop through a collection of symbols in a defined library and populate a drop down with the available symbols. My goal is to be able to open Illustrator, and when I run the script the dropdown is populated with all available symbols(text is fine) in a defined library that I can then select and place on the artboard.

Looping through an array to get the index for each measure in a combo box

Hi folks,
I am working on a web application that has two combo boxes, one for year (called yearcombo) and for measures (called myURL) for that selected year, and also two radiobuttons (in radioBtnGroup). I have two years and a bunch of measure for each year. I have a map tool tip that when you mouse over the county you see a measure for that specific year. However I have a bunch of measures for each year and I want to be able to loop through the measures (which are in an array collection inside a combobox) so my "if" expression can find every selectedIndex and bring me the tool tip for that selected measure for that selected radio button. Right now I would have to create if statements for each measure (each selectedIndex inside the myURL combobox)and each radiobutton (inside the radioBtnGroup) instead of creating a if expression to get a map tip tool for each measure. I know I would have to create a loop to search for these indexes and enter that in the if expression and also change the graphic.attributes to reflect the right measure or index selected. Do you API for Flex wizards can give me any tips on how to code this according to my code below ? Any help is greatly appreciated! (the print scree is attached)
Below is the code snippet:
if (yearcombo.selectedItem.year == "2007" && myURL.selectedIndex == 0 && radioBtnGroup.selectedValue == 0)
fLayer.definitionExpression = "DATA_YEAR_TXT like '2007'"
var graphic:Graphic = Graphic(event.currentTarget);
graphic.symbol = mouseOverSymbol;
var htmlText:String = graphic.attributes.htmlText;
var textArea:TextArea = new TextArea();
try{
textArea.htmlText = myURL.selectedItem.label + graphic.attributes.ForDirIndOut.toString()
myMap.infoWindow.content=textArea
myMap.infoWindow.label = graphic.attributes.NAME;
myMap.infoWindow.closeButtonVisible = false;
myMap.infoWindow.show(myMap.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY));}
catch(error:Error) {
trace("Caught Error: "+error);
And below is the combo boxes with the arrays
<mx:FormItem label="Year        :" >
<mx:ComboBox   id="yearcombo" selectedIndex="0" labelField="label" width="100%" change="changeEvt(event)" >

Multi-record block (how do I loop through the block)

I created a two canvas form. On the first canvas, the user enters data and selects 1 - 30
reports that they want to run. When they click on <NEXT> button, I create a multi-record
control block and display each record on the second screen using
go_block;
clear_block;
move data;
create_record;
The user then selects on the second canvas which reports to run now and which to run later via
a LOV. When they press the <RUN> button, I want to start at the first record and either run the
report or schedule it. Then I want to move onto the second and the third until all selected reports
have been handled. I know I should use a loop but can't seem to make it work.
So my question is, How do I loop through the records in a multi-record control block, pass the information
for that one record to a parameter form and then execute the request? Each control block record contains
10 parameter fields.
Thanks.
Bob

go_record(1);
<< do your processing >> -- This is executed only for the first record.
if :system.last_record = 'TRUE' then -- If the 1st record is also the last record.
RETURN;
end if;
LOOP
next_record;
<< do your processing >>
if :system.last_record = 'TRUE' then
EXIT;
end if;
END LOOP;

Looping through inbox items on timer event is really slow...?

Hi,
I have an issue with a email sync event that I am running. Essentially, I am given a date (the received date of the last email synced) via another process and then need to return all the emails in the user's inbox the where receivedDate > this given
date.
I have a timer object than triggers my sync event every 15 mins. I also have a button that allows the user to manually activate the sync - this basically changes the timer to 3 secs and so it fires the sync event.
If the sync event is fired manually as per above, it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs) and I can stored the sender/recipient and received time data I require from these in a list of objects, which I sync later on in a background
process. During this loop the main UI freezes up, which is fine since I show a progress bar so the user knows how long they need to wait, and a large sync like this should only occur on their first sync theoretically. If the first sync event is
fired without the manual input - so still called from the same timer event, but just on the normal 15 min event, not the shortened 3 sec one - then it runs differently. The sync takes a lot lot longer, and the UI doesn't freeze up.
I presume this might be because it is fired slightly differently and does not hog up the main thread, but rather shares it with normal Outlook operations. Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the
main thread to access the email items...? Either way, I'm not quite sure how this is happening since the only difference is the user pressing a button that changes the timer.interval. The code that is run is the same, and the button press doesn't
trigger the actual sync itself.
Is there a way I can force this first sync to always run solely in the main thread, it can freeze up Outlook and show the progress bar until it is done? Ideally any subsequent syncs would then be run with no progress bar and no freezing up of the UI.
Many thanks,
Tom

Hello Tom,
> Maybe the operations are being run on a background thread and then keep having to jump into the main thread to access the email items...?
You shouldn't use another threads when dealing with the Outlook object model. Office applications use the single threaded apartment (STA) model and don't support multithreading. All calls made from another threads are marshalled by Outlook to the main
thread. However, you can use a low-level code (Extended MAPI) to access the data from secondary threads. For example, you can use Redemption which is based on Extended MAPI.
> it loops through everything quite quickly (~12,000 emails in 30 secs)
Instead of looping over all items in the folder I'd recommend using the
Find/FindNext
or
Restrict methods of the Items class. You can read more about them in the following articles:
How To: Use Find and FindNext methods to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder (C#, VB.NET)
How To: Use Restrict method to retrieve Outlook mail items from a folder
You can use the System.Windows.Forms.Timer class which uses the main thread for invoking the Tick event. The .NET
Framework Class Library provides three different timer classes: System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Timers.Timer, and System.Threading.Timer. Each of these classes has been designed and optimized for use in different situations. The Comparing
the Timer Classes in the .NET Framework Class Library article examines the three timer classes and helps you gain an understanding of how and when each class should be used.
Also you may find the
AdvancedSearch method of the Application class helpful. Pay special attention to the fact that the search is performed in another thread. You don’t need to run another thread manually since the
AdvancedSearch method runs it automatically in the background. See
Advanced search in Outlook programmatically: C#, VB.NET for more information.

Looping through each record

Hi everyone
I am new in crystal reporting and using Crystal Reports XI release 2. Firstly I should explain what I need to have. In my database I have got a parent table called Initiatives and a child table called benefits. One initiative has got many benefits associated with it and benefits are updated regularly by the users. Now my manager wants me to create an Initiative reports in such a way that all the initiatives are displayed and against each initiative there should be a box filled with either of these colour (red, yellow, green).
Let's say if Initiative "X" has got 10 benefits and if one or more benefits are outstanding by more than 2% then the colour of the box should be red. And if no benefit is outstanding by more than 2% and one or more benefits are outstanding more then 1% and less then 2% then colour of box should be yellow. And if no benefit is outstanding more than 1% then colour of box should be green.
Now for this I have created a report displaying all initiatives and a sub report with a SQL command containing the data from the benefits table. I have also included a database field which I would use as a box.
Now I want to loop through each record of the crystal report till the last record and format the field as per condition. I would probably use nested loop to look for the status of the benefits but I don't know how to do this in CR. In short I am looking to do this thing in CR
While Recordset.EOF
Do
But I can't find a key word for EOF or count-1 or some thing like that.
Seeking the help of you guys.
Regards,

It would be much easier to simply let Crystal's conditional formatting do this for you.
Almost every formatting aspect of each object in Crystal can be controlled via expressions. Just click on the expression button to the right of the property...

In the Control Data of FS00 there is field 'Authorization Group'
Please Create an Authorization Group for those user ID who can post TDS entries.
then Maintain this group for TDS related GL.
Then others will not able to post to this GL.
