Setting tab order in a check box group

I am running a 508 accessibility test on forms created in Adobe. The issue that I am having is that when I verify the tab order, it skips the second or any other check boxes in a check box group. Does anyone know where to set it to recognize all the boxes in a check box group?

Paul,
Thank you. You were correct, it was a version issue. When I opened the form in Reader 9 with JAWS 10, I was aable to arrow through all of the check boxes with correct identification of each field. Thanks again for all your help.

Re: Retrieving data from the check box group.....

Hi all,
I am new to webdynpro Java. I'm facing a problem while retrieving data from the check box group..
I've taken a simple type "Status" and Node with value attribute named status and set the property of that attribute as the simple type. This attribute is bound to the checkboxgroup.The cardinality of the Node is 0..n
But i am unable to read the checked items of the group.
Please help me out in solving my problem........

Hi,
Use the following
for (int x=0; x< wdContext.nodeTest().size(); x++)
     if( wdContext.nodeTest().isMultiSelected(x) )
                 // Selected Element
          IWDNodeElement nodeElement = wdContext.nodeTest().getElementAt(x);
           nodeElement.setAttributeValue("<Your Attribute> ", <Value>);
          //Ex setting value for attribute called Name
          nodeElement.setAttributeValue("Name", "Test");

Spry Check Box Group

I am setting up a form to use the Spry check box field and
need to have a check box grouping to have a minimum and maximum
number of check boxes that can be selected. How is this done. I
have got individual spry check boxes with their own spry fields but
can't seem to find any documentation which shows me how to set up a
spry check box group. Could someone please tell me how to do this?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use the following code.
String[] monthNames = new String []
"January", "February", "March", "April",
List Year = new ArrayList();
for (int i = 0; i < monthNames.length; ++i)
IPrivateWebdyn_tableView.IYearElement month = wdContext.createYearElement();
month.setAtt1(monthNames<i>);
Year.add(month);
wdContext.nodeYear().bind(Year);
Bind the Checkbox group element to the node attribute.
Thanks,

How to set tabbing order in Acrobat X Pro

I cannot find any instructions for manually setting tabbing order in Acrobat X Pro. It does not work the same as earlier versions of Acrobat Pro. Any idea as to where I can go for instructions for X Pro?

Thank you for the quick response! I found instructions for the Pro 9 version, so followed that and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again for your help.

About setting tab order in Acrobat Pro X

I'm really disappointed in the way you changed how I set tab order in Acrobat Pro X. I work with a lot of forms with multiple fields. Some of these forms have up to 100 different fields on one page that need to be in the order I set. In previous versions, I could set this order simply by clicking on the fields in the correct order I want. But with X, I have to drag each field one by one into the correct order. When you have a bunch of fields to set, this is tedious. And, when I click on a field to edit content, more times than not, it changes the tab order, and I'm back to finding it in the panel and dragging it back to it's correct place. This is time consuming. Not to mention when there are more fields than the monitor's height, the fields are scrolled in the panel.
So, please do something to give me the option to set tab order like in previous versions, and once they are set, leave them where they are. Or am I doing something wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong, it really sucks. But things are improved significantly with Acrobat 11. First, there's a preference setting that prevents the automatic reordering that can happen when fields are moved/edited. Second, you are able to select and move multiple fields at a time in the fields panel, which can speed things up considerably. It's still not as efficient as the old method, but at least it has finally been addressed. I think this feature alone is worth the upgrade price for the amount of time it will save and the beneficial effects on stress, blood pressure, and hair loss.

How to create a message check boxes group dynamically in OA Framework

Hi all,
I am developing a custom OAF page. It is a master-detail page. And I am having some difficulties to build that.
Firstly, I need to create a dynamic message check boxes group. These check boxes will get the prompt from a standard database table's column. Let's say I have table X with description column and it has 7 rows. Values of description column are A,B,C, ...etc. Then my master region on the page will have 7 check boxes with the prompts of A,B, C... Check box number will depend on the row/rows that this table has.
The other requirement is to create master and detail rows that depends on the number of any checked check boxes. If 2 check boxes are checked then we need to create 2 rows of master data and detail data too.
Does any of you have any ideas or suggestions to do that?
It is urgent, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and regards
PS: Is it possible to do that? Can anyone put some light on this thread please?

Refreshing the 'Check Box Group' UI element

Hi ,
The requirement is the 'Check Box Group' UI element should be refreshed automatically . I am dynamically creating the 'Check Box Group' UI element and want to refresh it once I transfer the checked values from the Check Box group.
How this can be realized !!!
Best Regards
Sid

Hi Sid,
CheckBoxGroup UI element`s content is done by binding property <i>texts</i> with appropriate attribute in context node. So, if you change data node and node elements, this will affect UI element immediately.

Unable to set tabbing order for a typedef

Attached is a .CTL file that is for a typedef in my project. I'd like to set the tabbing order. I'm using the "Array to Cluster" VI (is it a VI?) to fill it with data, however because the controls are not in the correct order, the data is no being put in the right place. When I edit my CTL, Edit|Set Tabbing Order is greyed out. Why is this and how do I fix it?
See my attached file.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Never mind - I figured it out. Right click on the cluster containing my controls and select "Reorder controls in cluster..."

Is Set Tab Order Broken in Acrobat 8.x Pro?

I can't seem to get it to work. Even when the automatic tab order setting is done and it is numbered correctly, when I switch to Preview and also save/close/re-open in Preview, the tab order is what it was before. When I go to Edit Layout, the tab ordering numbering shows correctly for all fields, but back in Preview, it goes out of whack in the same way.

Yes, I had already tried saving and even closing and re-opening. The Set Tab Order interface does not even operate in a fashion the user would expect. When replying to the alert question about automatic vs. manual setting of the interface, then randomly clicking fields, at one point the order stops changing once a field is selected. A text field becomes the LAST numerical field when it is selected, rather than starting at one and proceeding in ordinal fashion.
I am convinced that this feature is bug-ridden based on my attempts to work with it and given the numerous posts "commenting" on this very feature.

Help in Check box group

Hi,
I have created a check box Group
texts = Mydata.Interest.Interests
Mydata is a node , Interests is of type Simple type Interests.
It has 3 enumerations.
But when i run, I am able to only one check box with out any text.
Where am i wrong?

Hi you cannot use symple type to name the check boxes.
create a node(Say CheckBox) of cardinality 0..N
with a context variable(Say CheckValue) of type String. Bind this attribute(CheckValue) to "texts" property of CheckBoxGroup.
Now, to add 5 checkboxes from code, use the following code
IPrivate<View>.ICheckBoxNode lNode=wdContext.nodeCheckBox();
IPrivate<View>.ICheckBoxElement lEl;
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
lEl=lNode.createCheckBoxElement();
lNode.addElement(lEl);
lEl.setCheckValue("Text"(i1));

Check box group

Hi experts,
I am new to webdynpro, i want to add one more check box in a check box group,
can anyone help me,(but default it is coming 3)
thanks in advance

Hi,
if it is limiting to three what you can do is create a two views with three check boxs each and create a view conatiner element in one view and embed the second view inside the view conatiner element.
so by doing this you can have more than three checkbox
cheers

Set tab order by clicking fields, how?

Ive done it before but cant figure out how I got to it. The presets for "by row", "by column", etc... and arranging using the view on the left panel are not working easily for me and it would just be so much quicker and easier if I could just click the fields in the order I want the tabbing to go. How do you get to that function?

Thanks for the caution. If folks do try this dual install and they get bad results or "buggy" performance, they should uninstall V5. Optionally, keep an old machine running V5 just to set tab order. Recently, we set row/column mixed tab order on a form with 600 fields. Ten minutes vs hours of tedious work locating and dragging fields up and down the column.
We did have a conflict last month when we were intalling PitStop on a V5/V9 machine. PitStop complained about V5 and wouldn't install. We removed V5, installed PitStop and reinstalled V5 and it all works like a charm.
Down in the trade-shop trenches we have to produce forms efficiently to bid competitively. We experiment with many techniques to save time. Naturally, we cannot expect to get Acrobat support with our violating, multi-version setup, but this is a small sacrifice because our experience with "support" is that they really aren't fluent in deep product usage.

How do you set Tab Order using the Articles window in CC?

I am in CC 9.2.
The work flow I described below was working but then I upgraded and alas no joy.
The instruction I found here seems to be obsolete for cc9.2. Tab order through the articles doesn't seem to work any longer.
Basically. I have a log form with 3 text columns and 3 checkbox columns.
I created the first group of fields.
I created the article as instructed.
I then stepped and repeated 10 times.
When exporting to an interactive PDF, its not flowing in the order that I listed them
As the other user stated "object/interactive/tab order" window is way to painful of a process. Can anyone help?

I guess this confirms. Adobe... it worked before... do I need to down version my files? Because I have over a hundred forms I need to create and manually having to set each text box is going to be a major time and budget issue.

Setting tab order to form fields contained within a table, Indesign CS6

I have created a form in ID CS6, and have put all the tabs in order so that people can easily navigate it when filling it in. However, all of the form fields that are contained within tables are not in order, and I can't find any way of putting them in order without changing them in acrobat after I have made the interactive PDF. This means that every time my client makes changes to the form I have to manually put all the fields in order again, which is time consuming. Is anyone able to help?

This tab order dialogue box is nearly useless if you have a complex form with hundreds of form fields as there is no way to interact with the document when the dialogue is open and clicking on an entry in the list does not highlight the respective field. Furthermore, if you have arrays of radio buttons, or check boxes acting like radio buttons, ie all with the same form field name, there's no way to know which order they should be arranged in since they can't be selected or identified while this dialogue is open!
That is immensely frustrating to say the least.
It's quite ridiculous that Adobe hasn't fixed this bug in years and this user interface is shockingly bad.

Radio Button or Check Box Group

Hi,
I built a form based on a query. There is a flag column, only one of queried records is allowed to be "Y" in this column. The rests must be null.
Most ideal thing is to have a radio button group, only one of them can be selected.
Another way is to have a group of check boxes also allow only one checked. Once another check box is selected, the previously selected box must be unchecked.
Does anybody have idea of how to do it?
Thanks,
null

You have the save the number of the current ("checked") record in your data block.
After that you can launch a trigger which will scan every record in your data block (there are enough built-ins like FIRST_RECORD, LAST_RECORD, NEXT_RECORD, Current_record property, etc.)to allow you to do this. The trigger will set the check item property to "unchecked" if it is not the saved "checked" record.
