Date time field problem

Avatar

Level 4
Hello there



This maybe a simple problem but on the Date time field object i have input a display pattern and put the error message in. When I preview the PDF and populate the object with random text the pop up box will display my error message.



What it does not do is clear the text I have input so the date can be re-entered correctly, which is what I was expecting. Therefore the user can continue on without addressing the date correctly.



Can anyone advise what I should do to get this to work?



Thanks



Darren

Hi



The first time I thinkanyone has answered their own post. So for the benefit of anyone else I added the folowing script to the exit event

of the date field object



if (page.subform.dateobject.rawValue == page.subform.dateobject.formattedValue) {



xfa.host.resetData("xfa.form.Formtitle.Page.subform.datefieldobject")



Not sure why it works but just played around with it.
