field's visible value

[Former Community Member]

Dear all,

I have 3 fields in a line of a table. The third of them is the result of the multiplication of the first two.

Then there is a subtotal field which summarizes all the multiplications. But this isn't working fine.

Though when I show a Messagebox with the value of the subtotal field it seems fine, it doesn't show it fine in the proper field.

I write the code:

Multiplication:    

  form1.Pedido[0].Detalle.Posicion.NETWR::calculate - (JavaScript, client)

this.resolveNode("NETWR").rawValue

= this.resolveNode("MENGE").rawValue * this.resolveNode("NETPR").rawValue;

Subtotal calculation: 

  form1.Pedido[0].Header.SUB_TOTAL::calculate - (JavaScript, client)

var numpos = xfa.resolveNodes("form1.Pedido[*].Detalle.Posicion[*].NETWR");

var vtotal = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < numpos.length; i++)

{

     vtotal = vtotal +numpos.item(i).rawValue;

}

this.resolveNode("SUB_TOTAL").rawValue = vtotal;

xfa.host.messageBox("SUBTOTAL: " + SUB_TOTAL.rawValue + " " + vtotal);

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot to everyone,

Eloi

I think the wildcard * only works in formcalc not javascript.

Hi whyisthisme,

Thanks for replying.

I've found that the problem is showing a Messagebox. The Messagebox values are ok but the displayed data in the field not.

Do you (or anyone) knows why this happens?

Thanks a lot!,

Hi Eloi,

This can be done using formcalc.Have a look at the below document..

Thanks again Vijay!

Though I'm trying to learn it in Javascript.

When I remove the Messagebox display it works fine. I don't understand why.

Thanks again!,

The wildcards work with resolveNodes.

Good explanation here:

I think the problem might be the above - I don't think you can resolve two nodes like that.

You want to resolve the node that is doing the repeating, whether that be Pedido or Posicion.

Hi Jono,

thanks for answering.

I have this code (resolving two or more nodes) in many other places and works fine.

The problem is when I use the 'xfa.host.messageBox()' instruction.

Thanks again,

Eloi
