Panel with dynamic form

I need to create panels with dynamic forms. Why does my application will have various forms and if I have to create a lot of forms it will take too long to complete my application.
Can anyone help me?

So my idea is as follows ...
I need to create various forms, actually I wanted to create a scheme where the forms to adopt the characteristics defined by me.
<s:Panel width="350">
            <mxml:CustomForm dataConfig="{dataConfig1}" width="100%" />
</ S: Panel>
Yo I'm adding the inputbox, LABES and buttons on the panel through the
dataConfig1 = new ArrayCollection ([
                    (Label: 'Name', message: 'Invalid name', validateType 'noblank', id: 'name', text: 'Pedro Claudio', required: true),
                    (Label: 'Mail', message: 'Invalid Email' validateType: 'email', id: 'email', text:'', required: true)
I wonder if this is the easiest way to create the forms?
How does this business of the panels child?

Spry event listeners with dynamic form elements

Hi ,
I am trying to implement spry event listeners with a form that has dynamic check boxes and text field name. I now i can get the elements in a var and loop through with a normal function but can this work for spry events listeners

Short answer is yes. But I have a feeling that you need further assistance, in which case give us a URL to a page that you want to apply the event listener to.

Bizarre CFIF issue with dynamic form variables? Very strange...

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here. Here's my code. Issue explained below.
            <cfquery name="reviewconfigloader" datasource="MOLMS">
            SELECT *
            FROM dbo.BaseModel
            WHERE dbo.BaseModel.AccountID = #molmsAccountID# AND.dbo.BaseModel.basemodelActive = 1
            </cfquery>
      <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">
        <cfloop query="reviewconfigloader"><cfif isdefined("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") AND ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") NEQ "" AND ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") NEQ 0><cfoutput><tr>
          <td width="40%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub">     #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']# #reviewconfigloader.basemodelName# #reviewconfigloader.basemodelSubName#</td>
          <td width="15%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub"><div align="center">x 14 </div></td>
          <td width="15%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub"><div align="center">$486/yr</div></td>
          <td width="15%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub"><div align="center">$1444/yr</div></td>
          <td width="15%" bgcolor="##F7F7F7" class="basemodelsub"><div align="center">$1444/3 yr</div></td>
        </tr></cfoutput></cfif></cfloop>
      </table>
What I'm doing here is fairly basic.I'm running a query with a number of configs in it...and then creating a loop to output them. Ultimately, I only want the configurations that didnt have 0 submitted in the form on the previous page. Each one of the configs in the config query has a dynamic form variable on the previous page with a quantity tied to it. I am trying to eliminate all quantities past that aren't 0 (or not eliminate, just not show)...as you can see from the cfif statement.
Here's where it gets weird. You'll notice I output #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']#, just for testing, which shows me the quantity as it should. I ran a test and put in a couple of 1s, 0s, 12s, 6s, etc in the form fields on the previous page. If this thing worked, it wouldnt show anything for any of the records with their basemodelID value being submitted as 0. Not the case. It shows all records. What is more hilarious is that it outputs perfectly in my test #form['baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#']#, showing the correct numbers entered in the previous form, the 1s, the 0s, etc, tied to each record. But for whatever reason, the cfif code isn't catching it.
What's even more bizarre...I replaced the cfif ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") NEQ 0 with GT 12 (12 was the highest number that I put in the form) and it still showed all records. Then I put it in as LT 12 and it showed nothing. I decided to take it one step further and put it in for GT 1231243242343 (random massive number), which it still showed all of the records. So somehow, my CFIF statement thinks that ("form.baseconfig#reviewconfigloader.basemodelID#") is a incredibly large number, although when I output it in the row below, it is the number it should be.
I'm stumped. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!!

Hey Dan...thanks....unfortunately...with the cfif testing, thats kinda what I'm
doing because I dont have an "expected" value. My expected value is anything a user inputs thats greater than zero, hence NEQ 0 and NEQ "". The real problem is taht what I'm outputting works and what the cfif clause is seeing is obviously very different.
As far as your comment about looping out the variables and then setting a query equal to the value in a cfquery, remember...these are form objects and therefore nothing can be tied back to the database. The result from the code is establishing a form variable (example.... form.basemodel1 (if 1 was the basemodelID from the database query) so it can capture whatever data the user has passed from the previous page in a text input. So that input could have been 23, it could have been 1053.
So really the only way to do it is create a query and loop out the variables.... and attach them to form objects (basemodel1, basemodel2, basemodel3 etc where the 1,2 and 3 are the unique ID's for those models in the database), and then look for where those form objects may have been filled in in the previous page by stating IF this form object not equal to 0 or "", output the data.
Does that make sense? Thanks for the help guys I'm completely stumped by this. I've done this a million times with CFIF and I'm really struggling with why this isnt working....

Are there any options (current or future) for working with dynamic forms on the iPad?

We have a few iPads for use in our lab and are trying to utilize them as best we can. Until now, we've had no luck finding a way to use dynamic forms (specifically and preferably from Adobe LiveCycle) on the iPads. We use forms as electronic worksheets, and are trying to determine the best avenue to continue down. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I only spent a few seconds searching, but I did find this... https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dynoforms/id689415970?mt=8
I'm sure there are other apps out there as well.

Slow loading and tabbing with dynamic form

Hi. I have a 45 page pdf and I need to be able to select some pages to not print based on content of a field. To do this I understand the form needs to be saved in Acrobat v7 or greater and saved as a dynamic form. So far so good. When I create the dynamic form by opening the existing 45 page pdf, livecycle creates a form object for each line in the document. That's a ton of objects that don't need to be objects. I am adding 15 enterable fields into this document. For example the document may contain a line of text "Last Name", this appears as a form object as described. I am adding a text field next to that so the user can enter their last name. After saving the document it takes a long time to load and the tabbing from field to field is very slow. I am thinking this might be due to processing all the form objects that don't need to be form objects, but not sure. Question: based on my description is there a way to create this document without all those non-enterable form objects?

How to fill my collapsible panels with dynamic content from PHP scripts?

Hi people,
I'm trying to generate dynamically generated content in a
Spry collapsible panel. Previously I've generated PHP files that as
an output generates a dynamic table with the data I want to show. I
figured it would be possible to use an php include option to
generate this table in a content section of a Spry collapsible
panel. However, when I do this the collapsible panels appear to
join and when panel1 is clicked all tables close instead of only
panel 1 and all tables are put benath each other without putting it
in each seperate panel. But when i replace the file with only the
text "content" it works fine. Do i maybe have to add some kind of
command at the end of my php file to make it look like the
"content"-text or is this not the problem?
I've been looking for the answer now for a couple of weeks on
various forums and nothing seemed to work for me. Can please
somebody help me out?
Greets,
Damian
The code in its non working form:
<head>

fine

Sliding panels with dynamic heights

Hello,
I'm currently working with sliding panels. When I resize my
panels, the panel indexing system in spry does not seem to conform.
Ie, if my panels are 100px high. As soon as I dynamically
change them to 50px, panel(1) is no longer the second panel but
rather the fourth.
It appears that spry retains heights of elements. Is there
something in SprySlidingPanels.js I can call for it to
'recalculate' the heights?
Thanks

I was wrong!
Spry is indeed clever and retains panel number.
Doh!

Help with Dynamic Form Input

Hello,
I'd like to generate a form with a PL/SQL script.
Basically I'd like to ask the user to rank a set of items.
I have two tables one, ITEMS [ID (Primary Key), NAME (VARCHAR2)] and one PREFERENCES [ID (Primary Key), ITEM_ID (Foreign Key),PREFERENCE (Number), USERNAME (VARCHAR2)]
From what I understand Collections and APEX_ITEM would be useful here.
What should I do next?
Should I read all of the ITEMS ( there will only be 7-13) into a collection and then use APEX_ITEM to generate rows in the form?
Should I first create rows in Preferences, containing only the ITEM_ID and the USERNAME, and then use multiple row update in APEX_ITEM to generate a tabular form to update the rows?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

I would like one form on one page for creating multiple rows. A tabular form would be fine.
the page would look like
Item 1 , Choose a Preference (LOV)
Item 2, Choose a Preference (LOV)
Item n, choose a Preference (LOV)
I know that this could probably be done more easily one row at a time, but I am concerned about making it easy for the end user.
A tabular form could be appropriate, however it seems like most of your example tabular forms, have already generated records. (ie http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:170:4031429456413649::NO ).
Would it make sense to prepare the form by inserting values into the table just before displaying the form.
something like (in psudocode)
select ID from ITEMS into l_items;
INSERT INTO PREFERENCES (ITEM_ID)
VALUES (l_items)
I have a trigger on Preferences that inserts v('APP_USER') into the USERNAME column.
If I did this the form could display
select     "ITEMS"."NAME" as "NAME",
     "PREFERENCES"."PREFERENCE" as "PREFERENCE"
from     "ITEMS" "ITEMS",
     "PREFERENCES" "PREFERENCES"
where "PREFERENCES"."ITEM_ID"="ITEMS"."ID"
NAME would be displayed as TEXT
PREFERENCE would be an LOV
USERNAME would be hidden
Thanks for your help.

Please help with dynamic form field names in cfloop

Hi,
I need to create a form with day, date, month, year and time for 12 months
Instead of coding them 12 times, I create day,date,month,year and time fileds in my form 1 time and then I use cfloop from="1" to="12" index="i" to loop these form fields 12 times.
I gave each form field name such as: <input type="text" name="ScheduleDate_# i #" value=" "> this way each of those field will be named differently such as:
ScheduleDate_1, ScheduleDate_2,ScheduleDate_3, ScheduleTime_1,ScheduleTime_2, etc
I'm facing problem when this form is submitted, I think the error has something to do with the pound sign (##) when it comes to updating the back end
I use MS SQL
It doesn like this:
<CFLOOP From="1" To="12" index="k">
<CFIF Len(Trim(Form.MeetYear_#k#)) NEQ 0 AND Len(Trim(Form.MeetTime_#k#)) NEQ 0>
<cfquery name="CreateSchedule" datasource="#DSN#">
UPDATE TableSchedule
SET SchedDay = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedDay_#k##">,SchedMonth =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedMonth_#k##">,SchedDate =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedDate_#k##">,SchedYear =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedYear_#k##">,SchedTime =
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.SchedTime_#k##">
Where SchedId = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric" value="#k#">
</cfquery>
</CFIF>
</CFLOOP>
Can anyone help please?

You can't nest hash marks. Do this instead:
SET SchedDay = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form["SchedDay_" & k]#">

Cfajaxproxy bind with dynamic form

I have a form with many rows built in a cfloop. I am trying to do a simple client side calculation if the user changes a value in a text box. I can ge the calculation to work, but it places the result in the last row of the form rather than the row the user changed. In other words, they change the values in a text box on row 3 for example. It calculates the right value(using row 3 values) and places the result in the last row(for example row 54).
<td align="center">
     <cfinput id="costPerUnit_#currentrow#" name="costPerUnit_#currentrow#" required="yes" value="#products.COSTPERUNIT#" tabindex="-1">
</td>
<td align="center">
     <cfinput id="ozPerUnit_#currentrow#" name="ozPerUnit_#currentrow#" required="yes" value="#products.OZPERUNIT#" tabindex="-1">
</td>
<td align="center">
               <cfajaxproxy bind="javascript:doCalcCostPerOz({costPerUnit_#currentrow#},{ozPerUnit_#currentrow#})" />
               <script>
               function doCalcCostPerOz(c,o) {document.getElementById("costPerOz_#currentrow#").value = (parseFloat(c)/parseFloat(o)).toFixed(2);}
               </script>
     <cfinput id="costPerOz_#currentrow#" name="costPerOz_#currentrow#" type="text" value="#products.COSTPEROZ#">
</td>
Does anyone have any insight how to make sure the results of the above calculation go to the proper row? I assume it has something to do with the bind expression above and the fact that the costPerOz_#currentrow# is not in the bind expression.

I think I found a workaround for this. I stored the currentrow in a hidden input field and passed it to the javascript function. Here is the code that worked for me:

<cfinput id="rowIndex_#currentrow#" name="rowIndex_#currentrow#" type="hidden" value="#currentRow#">
<td align="center">
<cfajaxproxy bind="javascript:doCalcCostPerOz({costPerUnit_#currentrow#},{ozPerUnit_#currentrow#},{rowIndex_#currentRow#})" />
<script>
                              var fieldName = "costPerOz_";
                              function doCalcCostPerOz(c,o,r) {
                                        document.getElementById(fieldName.concat(r)).value = (parseFloat(c)/parseFloat(o)).toFixed(2);
</script>

<cfinput id="costPerOz_#currentrow#" name="costPerOz_#currentrow#" type="text" value="#products.COSTPEROZ#" readonly="yes" tabindex="-1">

Help with dynamic form

Hi All,
How can I insert all my labels items into a HBox?
Here is my sample code:
private function buildForm():void{
                var numberOfColumns:Number = mainApp.acYears.length; //Multi years array
                var formItem:FormItem = new FormItem();
                var hBox:HBox = new HBox();
                formItem.addChild(hBox);
                for(var i:Number=0; i< numberOfColumns; i++) {
                    var formLabel:Label = new Label();
                    formLabel.text = mainApp.acYears.getItemAt(i);
                    formItem.addChild(formLabel);
                loansForm.addChild(formItem);
Thanks!

Hi,
FYI, the solutions is to add all the labels to the HBox first and then add the hBox to the form.

Dynamic forms and collection.

Hello,
In one of your postings you’ve explained that the collections won't work with dynamic forms. The collection will only "see" the first instance of the subform. You've provide link to the sample, but it does not longer work :
http://my.adobe.acrobat.com/p52549088/.
This sample shows how to manually encode data into barcode from a subform that repeats. Can you please provide a working link or sample? Is there any other suggestion on how to link barcodes on dynamic forms?
Regards,

Hello Dave,
I can't say I've seen issue 1 before and would recommend contacting support.
For item 2 I would suggest wrapping your 'line' of text in a subform then creating a script to use the setInstance method for that subform.
Let's say you had a subform named "TextLine" (which contained a text field), a numeric field called "NumberOfLines" and a button called "SetLines". You would likely want to have javascript code on the SetLines button click event much like:
TextLine.instanceManager.setInstances(NumberOfLines,rawValue);
You will want to save this form as a Dynamic PDF before previewing and you will want to ensure that TextLine allows for more than one occurence (found under Object - Binding, Allow Subform to Repeat when you have that subform selected).
You may also want to put in some validation against the NumberOfLines field to ensure it has a value.
I hope that helps.

Dynamic forms struts

I need to display a page with dynamic form elements. i.e I will not be aware of the form content...how many text boxes, drop downs while writing the concrete form bean.
Can anyone let me know how to achieve this using struts.

I'm not sure struts will work for you as you do not know what fields will be on the form until run-time.
You may be stuck with working with the Action's request object:
mRequest.getAttribute(mFieldName[1]);
Where mFieldName is 1 or more form fields with the same name...
I'm looking into this myself and will let you know if I come up with something better.

ADF query panel with table, adding new search fields dynamically

I am a beginner very new to ADF world. I have a ADF query panel with table which has its source from a ViewCriteria. I need to add a new search field on the form dynamically based on the user's need. Assume I am using a Employee table and I have search "employee ID" as one field in the form, upon clicking a add button in the form I need to have a another "employee ID" field appears along with the already existing one.
I tried to add the condition in ViewCriteria but do not know how to add it ?
Could some one pls address how it can be approached ?

User, please always tell us your jdev version.
Well, this use case need some thinking to be done. What do you want to archive with adding a new query field to the panel? As you said you already have one field for employeeId and now, on a click on a button, you add another one. How would the resulting query work with the new field? Should it use 'and' to concatenate the query or should it use 'or'?
I suggest that you use the ADF Riche Client Demo (http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/index.jspx) select the Query node and then select 'af:query'. This shows you what is possible otu of hte box using the af:query component. You can add fields to existing queries in advanced mode (e.g. use system query 5, which starts with an empty panel and allows you to add fields).
Once you understand how this works you may come back with a more detailed use case description or you have found the solution already. Read the documentation on af:query along with trying otu the component.

Is it possible to update multiple tables with a dynamic form?

I have columns from two tables populating a dynamic form. I am trying to have the form update both tables on submit. I have tried both a linked transaction and a custom transaction but I am not making progress. Only the master table is being updated. Is it possible with ADDT to update two tables with a dynamic form?
