Expand/Collaps Control in Adobe LiveCycle Desinger Forms.

[tarekahf]

Is there a control in LC Forms to allow Expand/Collaps of a repeating subform elements ?

Basically, I want to hide/show a list of elements (repeating subform) using a Control that looks like "+" (expand) and "-" (collaps).

How to implement this feature ?

Hi Tarek,

You can achieve this with a button that toggles the fields height property from .h to .minH. In both cases you pass the same value, but .minH will allow the object to expand to show all of its content.

The form has to be saved as dynamic.

Hope that helps,

WOW ... this is very nice .

I like your idea about using special font to get this effect.

This is the code I am using for Click Event:

if (sfAttendancesItem._sfTimeEvents.count != 0) {
     var cmdExpandToggleCaption = this.caption.value.resolveNode("#text")
     if (cmdExpandToggleCaption.value == "u") {
          sfTimeEvents.presence="visible";
          cmdExpandToggleCaption.value = "q"
     } else {
          sfTimeEvents.presence="hidden";
          cmdExpandToggleCaption.value= "u"
     }
}

And, this is the code I am using for the Initialize Event on the parent subform:

this.sfTimeEvents.presence="hidden";
if ( this.sfTimeEvents._sfTimeEventsItem.count == 0) {
  this.cmdExpandToggle.presence="invisible";
}

And ... it worked.

Thank you so much for the cool idea.

Could you please give a link for all your sample work ... I am sure I am missing a lot.
