Activating a button after signature field is signed

Avatar

Level 3

Hi,

I have an email button to submit the form. I was wondering if I can disable it and put a condition. If the signature field is signed then button will be enabled.

regards

Sorry ...now I understand your request ......here is your form back with the code added to the email submit button. I am only checking one signature (the Staff Signature).

Here is some code that will allow you to check the signature field:

// check to see if Claimant signature field is signed.
var oSOM = claimsign.somExpression;  // Returns the full SOM expression i.e. xfa[0].form[0].form1[0]...
var truncSOM = oSOM.substring(15); // Truncating 'xfa[0].form[0]' from SOM to get acroforms name of the field.
var oState = event.target.getField(truncSOM).signatureValidate(); // Get the current field's signed state

In this case the signature field is called claimsign. After running this code the variable oState will conatin a value ....if it is 0 then the field is not signed. So you can add code like this:

if (oState == 0 ) {

     // signature field is not signed

     app.alert("You must sign the form before submitting")

} else {

     //The signature field is signed

     go through your submission process code

}

Hope that helps

I created a sample for you .....the code is on the click event of the button. The button acts like the submit button. Note that I did not add any code to do the submit I simply put a message box up to indicate that is where the submission would happen.
