Javascript: get subform objects in a subform

[davids88333804]

Hello!

I have the following structure:

I would like to get all the T1 and T2 object in 2 lists.

If I use the following syntax:

var myList = xfa.form.form1.Page1.Main.nodes; to get the parent subforms

I get two types of objects: _H1 ... _HN and H1 ... HN. (_H1 ... HN objects have only get access.)

Is there a nice way to get only the H1 ... HN object so I could keep working with them to get the T1, T2 child objects?

Thanks and best regards.

Hi,

the _Hx are the instance of the subform. To get all the subforms (without the _stuff) you can try this

var myList = xfa.form.form1.Page1.Main.resolveNodes("#subform[*]");
app.alert(myList.item(0).name) is H1 and length of the list is 4

Thanks for the help! Is there any documentation on ResolveNodes parameters? The documentation and examples are really simple (for example I could not find the solution that you provided). How one can come to such a great knowledge????

by working with Livecycle and AEM Forms for over 20 years. The documentation is limited - many things you will get by experience. A lot of the original documents are not available any more (at least from Adobe) and other sources you need to watch out what you get. Here are some links that will help a little: https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/Adobe_XML_Form_Object_Model_Reference.... or https://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/10.0/DesignerScriptingRef/WS92d06802c76abadb42f393e912a151d17...
