Back again - set focus

[Former Community Member]

Hi again,

I've been struggling with setting focus on each instance of a field within a repeating subform. My subform is limited to 5 instances. Min of 1.

As the user exits the only textfield in the subform, I have a new instance creating. I want the focus set to the new instance but I have not been able to get anything to work. My latest attempt has been to try to pass a count using the instancemanager to a variable in the setfocus string.

Here is what I have thus far. I know I need to resolve the node but that process is confusing the heck out of me. I've read and re-read everything I've been able to find but I havent been able to wrap my head around that part successfully.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction or suggest a better solutions? TIA!

form1.Account_Client_Information.Long_Title.Account_Long_Title::exit - (JavaScript, client)

var oSubform = xfa.resolveNode("Long_Title");

var oNewInstance = oSubform.instanceManager.addInstance(1);

xfa.form.recalculate(1);

var count = (this.instanceManager.count)

xfa.host.messageBox("Text Field Index in new Subform: " + count);

var vfocindex = xfa.resolveNode("Account_Long_Title[count]");

xfa.host.setFocus(vfocindex);

Hi,

The addInstance method will return the subform that you want so you only need to do;

var oNewInstance = Subform1.instanceManager.addInstance(1);

xfa.host.setFocus(oNewInstance.Account_Long_Title)

Bruce Thanks! So simple. Feel like an ID 10 T.

Worked like a charm.
