How to remove all instance in a repeatable subform (bis)

[phil74801]

Hi Niall,

A few years ago, you helped a user who asked "How to remove all instance in a repeatable subform". Please could you do again with approximately the same problem ?

In a click event, I have the script "_CarteEN.addInstance();". Well ! Many cards appear. To protect them, I put above a mask (it's a button with a background Fill). Now, how can I do to remove all masks with only one click using the resetdata or anything else...

I try this but it doesn't work.

while (flowedSubform.CarteEN._CacheCV.count > 2)
{
     flowedSubform.CarteEN._CacheCV.removeInstance(1);
}

Many thanks for your help !

Drop me an email with the sample PDF you tried. I don't see anything wrong in this code.

or the best way is to add try..catch block and see the error thrown.

Hi Nith

Here is the link to download the file : https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=jqora4lVrY98N94rk*O*xw

Many thanks

There is no subform named "flowedSubform"

The "CacheCV" is not a container object (subform). so you can't access the instanceManger of this object.

the below lines should work

while(_CarteEN.count >1)

{

     _CarteEN.removeInstance(1);

}

All I do is in the click

CP1218_SubformSet.instanceManager.removeInstance(true)

CP1218_SubformSet - being the subform name.

Thanks Nith,

I have corrected the file but it doesn't work. I don't know what is wrong.  I downloaded it.
