Hello all,
I need some help. I think my issue is with Syntax as this is the first time I have ever tried to make a conditional caption. I am currently trying to do it in FormCalc as I am a little more familiar with that syntax than I am Java but I am willing to explore both.
The Desired Result:
I have a set of Radio Buttons that the form user should select to identify what type of hire they are trying to submit. Based on the radio button selection, the caption on a date field needs to read something different (to cut down on space usage on the form).
Information:
The Radio Buttons are Value Bound to 1="Rehire", 2="Temp to Perm" and 3="New Hire" in a Radio Button Group called HireType. The Date field is a standard date field with Size 9 Arial 9 titled StartDate.
Important Note: I am not using any kind of outside data source (XML or otherwise) to populate this information. Most of the subject matter I have been able to find about conditional captions references back to this. The form that I am designing is completely internal unto itself.
The FormCalc script I tried on the exit event for the HireType radio button group:
form1.#subform[0].HireType::exit - (FormCalc, client)
if (HireType.rawValue=="1")then
StartDate.caption.value="Original Hire Date"
else
StartDate.caption.value="Temp Start Date"
endif
The Result:
Nothing happens. I am pretty sure the solution is starting me right in the face, but this is the first time I have tried to do a conditional script with anything except the raw value of a field or the Drop Down List selection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Again willing to explore Java or FormCalc solutions.
Thanks in advance!
