Populating Text Field from Multi Checkboxes

Need help with formula. Not sure whether or not I should be using FormCalc or Javascript as I am not extremely familiar with either. I have a form that has three checkboxes (Box1, Box2, & Box3) that need to auto populate a text field (EmpAck). I have tried three different ways to get this done and none are working for me. What I need to happen is if "Box1" is checked "Text1" is inserted in "EmpAck" field and if "Box2" is checked "Text2" is instered & so on. The texts are never the same and never added together. I have set "EmpAck" to be read only, allowing multiple lines, and have the "Expand to fit box marked as the texts' are different lengths. Any help would be great.
1. // This would go in the Textfield under calulate using FormCalc
if (Box1 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text1"
elseif (Box2 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text2"
elseif (Box3 = "On") then
EmpAck = "Text3"
endif
2. //This would go in the checkbox "Box1" changing "Text1" to "Text2" or "Text3" as required under mouseup using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/2489082#2489082)
if (this.rawValue == 1)
{EmpAck.rawValue = "Text1";}
else {EmpAck.raqValue = " ";}
3.//This would go in textfield under calcuate using JavaScript (found under http://forums.adobe.com/message/4108395#4108395)
var a =" "
if (this.getField(Box1).value == "Yes")
{a="Text1"}
if (this.getField(Box2).value == "Yes")
{a="Text2"}
if (this.getField(Box3).value == "Yes")
{a="Text3"}
event.value=a

Found my problem. Was using different subforms without including in the formula.

Pre-Populating Text fields from a Data drop down list using SQL Server

I'm currently trying to update some of our internal forms which are word based or a basic PDF form you fill in by yourself.
I'm connecting to our SQL server as there are databases stored there for an internal bit of software that hold information
I can use to fill in parts the form.
I have a data drop down list that is dynamically linked to the SQL databass and allows you to select a Project Number from that database, what
I want to do after this is selected is to automatically populate some text fields with the Project name, Account handler and other fields held in the
database.
I've had a look online to see if there is a solution but haven't really found anythig that is similar (although I am new to LC so may have seen it
and not realised) and my Java is non existant.
Has anyone tried this and able to point me in the right directions?
I'm using LiveCycle ES2 version 9.0.0.2 from Creative Suit 5.5 on Windows 7

Hi,
Actually this error does not cause any harm except a presentation inconvenience. In my multi-select prompt I am using variable expression with dynamic repository variable. Dashboard results are correct. Just variable's value does not appear on page (error Error Codes: G689FFB3:SDKE4UTF
Expression: @{biServer.variables['CUR_CAL_PER_MONTH_NAME']}). Pushing "GO" button on the prompt fixing the error but it's actually second execution of the dashboard.
Any ideas ??

Populating Text Field from Dropdown in Repeating Subforms

Hi there,
I'm trying to create a dropdown in a repeating subform that populates a text field in the same subform depending on the option selected.
I used the functionality described here to acheive the text field population in the first row, but I have trouble when I add additional instances of my subform. In subsequent instances, when I select an option from the dropdown, it changes the text in my first textbox and does not populate anything in the repeated textbox.
I'm not sure how to get this to work for each added instance and/or how to keep each instance separate from one another.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Can you repost the question - some funny formatting issue

Populating text fields from dynamic select

I have been searching the net for a javascript/ajax solution
that will populate a number of text fields based on the selection
from a dynamic select field. Specifically, when the person selects
a company name, the companies address and phone number gets pulled
from a second recordset that gets filtered by the choice from the
dropdown. This needs to be done without postback.
The page is built using php/mysql and the select is populated
by one of the recordsets.
Any direct help or steering to a solution would be
appreciated.

Thanks for the reply.
Right now I'm starting with a blank form and once I get my head wrapped around this then I was going to modify what is already in use.
I'm attaching my scheme and xml file.
Thanks!

Populating Text Fields from XML Based Drop Down

Hello,
I'm new to the Adobe Livecycle I have been challenged to make a PDF form that pulls information from an XML file.
I have been able to get the from to read the XML file and I have successfully created a dynamic pull down, but what I am having a problem with is that when an item is selected in the dropdown I want it to pull other information stored in the XML file.
<user>
<csrName>MyName</csrName>
<csrExt>123</csrExt>
<csrFax>123-123-1234</csrFax>
</user>
<user>
<csrName>MyName</csrName>
<csrExt>321</csrExt>
<csrFax>999-234-1322</csrFax>
</user>
My pulldown reads each csrName and I can select whom I want, but how do I get <csrExt> and <csrFax> to pull over for the correct <csrName>? I figured it needs to be done by some code during the "Change Event" but I have not figured out what code is needed.
Any help is greatly appreciated, if anymore information is needed just let me know and I'll share what I got.
Thanks

Populating Multirecord text fields from Tlists value's combinations

I have a UI wherein there are two T lists, one on the Left and other on the Right. The left one contains
From values and the Right one contains To values. There's one Button which when Pressed should populate
a Data Block which has multi record text fields just below the button with all the possible combinations of
the T lists elements. The Text fields have the values From, To, Time, Unit. When populated From and Two will
get the values from the combinations and the user will enter the values in other fields i.e. Time and Unit,
Then the user can save the Records.
e.g. If the Left T list contains Red, Blue and the Right T List contains Green, Black. Then on pressing
the button below the T lists, the text fields From and Two of a data block displayed in the same window
should get populated with all the possible combinations as:
From || To || Unit || Time
Red Green
Red Black
Blue Green
Blue Black
Now the user can enter the values for Unit as well as Time and when he does save the Records should be inserted
for the Data Blocks DML Source that's some table.
What I'm trying is:
On pressing the Button i'm writing code that will have Two PL/SQL Tables(Index by binary_integer). One will have
all the values of the left T List and the other with all the values of right T List.
I do it as in the WHEN BUTTON PRESSED as:
DECLARE
TYPE varchar_table IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(30) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
from varchar_table;
to varchar_table;
v_count1 NUMBER;
v_count2 NUMBER;
v_count3 NUMBER;
v_count4 NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_count1 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE');
     FOR i IN 1..v_count1 LOOP
          from(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.FROM_TYPE', i);
     END LOOP;
v_count2 := Get_List_Element_Count('CONTROL.TO_TYPE');
     FOR i IN 1..v_count2 LOOP
          to(i) := Get_List_Element_Value('CONTROL.TO_TYPE', i);
     END LOOP;
END;
Now how will I populate the text fields with the values in the tables that i got with the piece of code above.
Any help would be appreciated. Any other method other than the one i'm trying is also welcome. Please note that
i'm not using any table to store the elements in the T Lists. The lists get values at runtime by
user's selection.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

Try and stay civil in your postings. The solotion should be to simply issue a GO_BLOCK, followed by a CREATE_RECORD followed by setting the approriate values :block.value = <value from list>

How can I get the "text" field from the actionEvent.getSource() ?

I have some sample code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class JFrameTester{
     public static void main( String[] args ) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame");
          f.setSize( 500, 500 );
          ArrayList < JButton > buttonsArr = new ArrayList < JButton > ();
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "first" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "second" ) );
          buttonsArr.add( new JButton( "third" ) );
          MyListener myListener = new MyListener();
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 0 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 1 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          ( (JButton) buttonsArr.get( 2 ) ).addActionListener( myListener );
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 0 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 1 ) );
          panel.add( buttonsArr.get( 2 ) );
          f.getContentPane().add( BorderLayout.CENTER, panel );
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          f.setVisible( true );
     public static class MyListener implements ActionListener{
          public MyListener() {}
          public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
               System.out.println( "hi!! " + e.getSource() );
               // I need to know a title of the button (which was clicked)...
}The output of the code is something like this:
hi! javax.swing.JButton[,140,5,60x25,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.5,
border=javax.swing.plaf.BorderUIResource$CompoundBorderUIResource@1ebcda2d,
flags=296,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,
disabledSelectedIcon=,margin=javax.swing.plaf.InsetsUIResource[top=2,left=14,bottom=2,
right=14],paintBorder=true,paintFocus=true,pressedIcon=,rolloverEnabled=true,
rolloverIcon=,rolloverSelectedIcon=,selectedIcon=,text=first,defaultCapable=true]
I need this: "first" (from this part: "text=first" of the output above).
Does anyone know how can I get the "text" field from the e.getSource() ?

System.out.println( "hi!! " + ( (JButton) e.getSource() ).getText() );I think the problem is solved..If your need is to know the text of the button, yes.
In a real-world application, no.
In a RW application, a typical need is merely to know the "logical role" of the button (i.e., the button that validates the form, regardless of whether its text is "OK" or "Save", "Go",...). Text tends to vary much more than the structure of the UI over time.
In this case you can get the source's name (+getName()+), which will be the name that you've set to the button at UI construction time. Or you can compare the source for equality with either button ( +if evt.getSource()==okButton) {...}+ ).
All in all, I think the best solution is: don't use the same ActionListener for more than one action (+i.e.+ don't add the same ActionListener to all your buttons, which leads to a big if-then-else series in your actionPerformed() ).
Eventually, if you're listening to a single button's actions, whose text change over time (e.g. "pause"/"resume" in a VCR bar), I still think it's a bad idea to rely on the text of the button - instead, this text corresponds to a logical state (resp. playing/paused), it is more maintainable to base your logic on the state - which is more resilient to the evolutions of the UI (e.g. if you happen to use 2 toggle buttons instead of one single play/pause button).

How do I add and remove text in a text field with a checkbox?

How do I add and/or remove text in a text field with a checkbox?
this is my script in the text box......
event.value="Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on"=this.getField("DOB.value + "\r\n\n + this.getField("drpField").value + "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value
The text box looks like this...
Hello, this is my narrative.
FAMILY:
John Smith was born on 08/02/2000
Boby Lou
Jack Smith
I need to add/or remove the father field (Jack Smith) & r/n/n with a check box.
Does anyone know how to do this?

There are multiple errors in your code...
Use this code instead (adjust the name of the check-box):
var msg = "Hello, this is my narrative. \r\n\nFamily: \r\n\n" + this get.Field("FirstName").value + " " + this.getField("LastName").value + was born on" + this.getField("DOB.value) + "\r\n\n" + this.getField("drpField").value;
if (this.getField("FatherCheckBox").value!="Off")
msg += "\r\n\n" + this getField("Father").value;
event.value = msg;

Remove text field from Array via for loop

Hi,
i have a problem to remove text fields added via for loop.
That im doing is, via for loop im dynamically creating menu with 10 buttons.
Each button contain, dynamically created, background (shape) and text field.
And everything is fine.
But when im try to remove text fields then i got this error:
- Im using button to remove text fields - lang_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

it looks like those tf's are children of lmButtonsMCArray[i], not the current scope. use:
if (footer.lang_btn.langState == "EG")
                                        for (var rNr_us:Number = 0; rNr_us < pushUsTFintoArray.length; rNr_us++)

                                    lmButtonsMCArray[rNr_us].removeChild(pushUsTFintoArray[rNr_us]);
                                        //clear the array
                                        pushUsTFintoArray = [];
                              else
                                        for (var rNr_eg:Number = 0; rNr_eg < pushEgTFintoArray.length; rNr_eg++)
                                                  //remove the text field array from the display
                                    lmButtonsMCArray[rNr_eg].removeChild(pushEgTFintoArray[rNr_eg]);

How to script text field based on checkbox selection

I've written a script to format specific text boxes based on what checkbox is chosen. However, I'm not sure what I need to script in order to CLEAR the text field once the checkbox is unchecked. As it stands now if the checkbox is selected it formats the text field with the necessary information, but if it's unchecked the information stays in the box. I'd like to be something like 'if all boxes are Off then display 0.00.' I've included the current script for reference
var one = this.getField("Emp 500");
var two = this.getField ("Emp+C500");
var three = this.getField("Emp+S500");
var four = this.getField("Fam500");
var five = this.getField("NC500");
var six = this.getField("Medical");
if (one.value == 'Yes') {six.value='70.70'}
else if (two.value ==
'Yes') {six.value='127.20'}
else if (three.value == 'Yes') {six.value='141.32'}
else if (four.value == 'Yes') {six.value='198.00'}
else if (five.value == 'Yes') {six.value='0'}
var one = this.getField("Emp 1500");
var two = this.getField ("Emp+C1500");
var three = this.getField("Emp+S1500");
var four = this.getField("Fam1500");
var five = this.getField("NC1500");
var six = this.getField("Medical");
if (one.value == 'Yes') {six.value='61.47'}
else if (two.value == 'Yes') {six.value='110.49'}
else if (three.value == 'Yes') {six.value='141.32'}
else if (four.value == 'Yes') {six.value='123.04'}
else if (five.value == 'Yes') {six.value='0.00'}

Create two dynamic action
1. Make it order number item disable on page load.
   Event : Page Load
   Action : Disable
   Fire When event result is : True
   Selection Type : Item
   Item : Your order number item
2 . enable and disable order number on selection of order type(assuming when order type is null it is disable otherwise it is enable)
    Event : Change
    Selection type : item
    Item : your order type item
    condition : is not null
True Action
    Action : Enable
    Fire When event result is : True
    Fire on page load : True

False Action
    Action : Disable
    Fire When event result is : False

How to remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet

I followed the procedure by SAP help.
Automatically generated text fields are marked with a 'T' on the icon in the InfoSet. You can remove the automatically generated text fields from the InfoSet in the initial screen of the InfoSet maintenance under Further Functions -> Delete Text Fields. Cancel the DataSource creation on the next screen and delete the text fields in the InfoSet maintenance transaction.
I know that there is an option "No automatic text recognition" when I create a new InfoSet, however, I couldn't find out how to change an existed InfoSet. I checked menu Goto->Global Properties, but that option is disabled. Is there a way to remove text fields from an existed InfoSet?

Hi,
In the initial screen (when you enter transaction code SQ02) type your infoset name and goto menu: Infoset -> More functions -> Delete text fields. this will delete all text fields.
I hope this helps to resolve the issue.

Populating multiple text fields from a database table...

I have a database table with several fields e.g. drawing_no, title, date_entered etc..I have a form that has the same fields. I want to be able to input a value into drawing_no field, and have it retrieve all the other values from the database - if they exist, or return blanks/nulls if it does not exit. I know how to do this for a single field, but not for retrieving multiple fields

Hi ,
You can create a before header page process and fetch all the fields from database, or you can take a look at in-built process Automated Row Fetch.
For e.g. lets say u have field1, field2, field3, field4 and field5 based on col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 from table tab1
Now create a page process of type PL-SQL and give a meaningful name to the process and accept the default as on Load Before header. In the "Enter PL/SQL Page Process" block enter a code similar to this one
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF :drawing_no IS NOT NULL THEN
SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4, col5 INTO :field1, :field2, :field3, :field4, :field5
FROM tab1 WHERE drawing_no = :drawing_no ;
END IF;
EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
END;The above block will fetch the records into input fields every time u refresh the page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Manish

Drop down lists populating text fields on a page different from the dropdown.

Hello all,
I have a form with several pages. The first page contains a number of drop down lists. These drop down lists, when an option is chosen, is to populate a text field on another page. I can get the drop down list to populate the text field when it is on the same page, but as soon as I move the text field to another page, the script doesn't work. Can anyone offer a solution? I've used javascript on change for the scripts.

Thanks Paul,
I have been able to solve the drop down list question, thanks to your help.
I have another question that involves locking specific fields in a four page form which contains approximately 100 fields that need to be locked before the end user completes the remaining fields. How do I lock individual subforms so that the remaining fields remain open and editable? The final version of the form, will have at least 200 fields in it that will also need to be locked in sections.
I can lock all the fields using the lock all fields button, but have been unable to make it work for just part of the form.
I've emailed the draft form. It would be really helpful if I had one example of a locked subform on the form I'm struggling with.
Thanks for your help.

In this application the status of TextField input remain same means it shows
the earlier input in the textfield wnen I come to earlier or next screen.
what is the solution to clear the TextField input while moving from 1st
scrren to 2nd screen.

Populating text fields

I have an application that loads variables from a text file.
It loads them into several dynamic text fields by using the
variable property. I tried populating other text fields with these
values but doesnt seam to work.
i tried this.
username.text = username;
I tried this because i need the value of the variable
"username" to appear in the username text field.
Why didnt this work. How can i correct this?
Thanks

it's a component? Why do you need that? Create the username
simply with a dinamic text field and assign the data to it.
I think your missing something. from what i remember and i'm
not so good at this ( i must first see an exemple of something made
by me) you must have a variable which contains the variable in
which the data is loaded.
I have to check out first some work i did to remember. If
problem not solved i will come back in a few hours with the
answer.
