Method that returns type of controls (buttons, radio, textfeild, etc)

[aaa10013]

Dear all, 

     I'm usinf LiveCycle ES2 and trying to hide all buttons in the PDF forms when a signatures is inputted. To do so, I have to loop through all nodes/fields in the form using the below function, but I could not help finding the method that returns the type pf field/controls so that I only hide buttons not others fields/controls such as textfield, radio, signature etc..Can anyone help me to find the method that return the type of control/field please? The place where I need this method is surrounded by @@@. 

function ProcessAllFields(oNode)
{
if (oNode.className == "exclGroup" || oNode.className == "subform" || oNode.className == "subformSet" || oNode.className == "area")
{
for (var i = 0; i < oNode.nodes.length; i++)
{
var oChildNode = oNode.nodes.item(i);
ProcessAllFields(oChildNode);
}
}
else if (oNode.className == "field" && @@@@ oNode type is "button" @@@)
{
oNode.presence = "hidden";
}
}

Hi @aaa10013 ,

Yo may use className[0] property to get the type of object, as mentioned here under  "Accessing a field property" section.

Also, By default, signing Signature field doesn't hide the objects, but it rather locks them.

You may see this sample form for how to lock specific objects in the form on signing the Signature field.

Thank you for the help. Looking into the to the section you sent, I could find the method which is control then .ui.oneOfChild.className == "button"..
