Hope someone can point me in the right direction with this problem. I have a positioned subform that contains a flowed subform (flow direction top to bottom) which has a border. This in turn contains 3 flowed subforms (flow direction Western text) each containing two text fields. The result looks like this...
/------------------------------------------\
| Doc Number |
|------------------------------------------|
| Static Text |
|------------------------------------------|
| Field A | Field B |
|------------------------------------------|
| Field C | Field D |
|------------------|-----------------------|
| Field E | Field F |
\------------------------------------------/
The data in the last of these 3 subforms (Fields E and F) may not exist - if they don't then I hide the last sub-form with the FormCalc script in the ready:layout event of the field (run at server);
if (HasValue($) == 0)
then .parent.presence = "hidden"
endif
This succeeds in hiding the last subform but the 'real estate' that it would normally occupy is still there i.e. the sub-form looks like this;
/------------------------------------------\
| Doc Number |
|------------------------------------------|
| Static Text |
|------------------------------------------|
| Field A | Field B |
|------------------------------------------|
| Field C | Field D |
| |
| |
\------------------------------------------/
But I want it to look like this;
/------------------------------------------\
| Doc Number |
|------------------------------------------|
| Static Text |
|------------------------------------------|
| Field A | Field B |
|------------------------------------------|
| Field C | Field D |
\------------------------------------------/
Is this possible and if so how do I achieve it? I have tried changing the height property of the parent sub-form (the one with the border) but this doesn't seem to have any effect (maybe I'm using the wrong event?).
NB - I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1 that comes with SAP Netweaver.
Check the 'Layout' tab and look for Height property for all the subforms in the tree. Having 'Expand to fit' and 'Auto-fit' checked under Height property will make the things better for you.
Update: If anyone has the same issue, I have found that the script was in the wrong event. I moved the script to the Initialise event and it works properly i.e. the parent subform is re-sized.
I am new to adobe forms i 've a small issue with subform content propertie (positioned/ flowed), whats the diff of these. I ve used flowed option to display the tables but in the standard progs they 've used flowed option for all the subforms(even to display single text field). If u solve this issue really it 'l be helpful to me.
