Names of Attachments within a PDF

[Former Community Member]

Hi All,

I have a button which attaches a file

In the click event of the button:

app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment");

Which is working fine.

Now, I want to access the absolute file name of the attachment and display it in the text area in the PDF.

Can i access it in LiveCyle Designer through javascript coding?

Thanks

Hi,

You could use code something like this from a button or some other event.

var d = event.target.dataObjects;

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

{

     console.println("Data Object[" + i + "]=" + d[i].name);

}

I have just written the  name to the console, but you could write it to any field.

Hope this helps

Hi,

just adding it after your current button click event should work.

app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment");

var d = event.target.dataObjects;

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

{

    TextField.rawValue =  d[i].name;

}

Hope this helps

Ya . But this wil not work in the cases when user add/remove attachments from the attachments panel.

So i was looking for an event which fires immediately when a user attaches/removes file from the attachment panel, so that the text field refreshes automatically.

hope i m clear.

Thanks
