Add dinamically rectangles to the form

[giuerom]

Hi,

I've got LiveCycle Designer 8.0 and my problem is the following.

I want to "draw" dinamically rectangles on my form: the user inputs the number of rectangles and their coordinates, and my javascript has to create them.

I thought I could create "rectangle" nodes and append them to some other node of the form but, after a few hours on the internet, I discovered it isn't so easy, and now I'm wondering if it is possible.

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance

What are you hoping to achieve by adding rectangles dynamically?

An image made of bars that depends from user's filling

No ideas?

This may help - I downloaded from adobe somewhere...

[giuerom]

Yes, it's something. But in your example there is not the creation of a new static object: the rectangles here already exist, and I can dinamically resize them. I'd like to dinamically create them somewhere in the pdf.

However now I know that I'm going to use the

xfa.layout.relayout()

method.

Thanks a lot

As far as I know, you cannot instantiate new XML form objects on-the-fly.

So is there nothing similar to what you can do within a simple html page with dom and javascript?

No, there is nothing similar. You can't create new objects on the fly. Only what you can do is hide/unhide something.

BR,
