I have a global variable: lossPayees
I have a function that is called by the "click" event of a button:
payeeButton.clickIncrement(this);
This funtion is intended to perform 2 tasks:
1) change the caption on the button
2) change the toolTip on the button
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
function clickIncrement(oButton) {
var capTxt = "";
var txtIndex = 0;
var ttTxt = "";
if (oButton.caption.value.text.value < lossPayees.value) {
capTxt = String(1 + parseInt(oButton.caption.value.text.value));
oButton.caption.value.text = capTxt; }
// so far, so good--everything works perfectly--more hoops to jump thru than you might expect--but the button caption changes/increments perfectly
// but now is where the trouble begins--I want to continue with this funtion and have it change the button's toolTip
// 3 line of code are added:
if (oButton.caption.value.text.value < lossPayees.value) {
capTxt = String(1 + parseInt(oButton.caption.value.text.value));
oButton.caption.value.text = capTxt;
txtIndex = parseInt(capTxt, 10) - 1; //create an index
ttTxt = String(txtIndex); //convert the index into a string
oButton.assist.toolTip.value = ttTxt; //feed it to the toolTip
//now this works--but it is not the goal--you can actually assign any string to the variable ttTxt and it works
//however--I want to fill the toolTip with text from a text field (using reference syntax):
function clickIncrement(oButton) {
var capTxt = "";
var txtIndex = 0;
var ttTxt = "";
if (oButton.caption.value.text.value < lossPayees.value) {
capTxt = String(1 + parseInt(oButton.caption.value.text.value));
oButton.caption.value.text = capTxt;
txtIndex = parseInt(capTxt, 10) - 1; //create an index
ttTxt = xfa.resolveNode("Page1.SubformLP.TableLP.TableSectionLP[txtIndex]").Row1.TxtLP.rawValue; //use the index
oButton.assist.toolTip.value = ttTxt; } //feed to toolTip
else {
oButton.caption.value.text = "0";
oButton.assist.toolTip.value = "None"; }
}
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I don't get any errors--the toolTip acts like that part of the script doesn't exist. The button shows the new caption and the tooTip also shows the new caption (which is the default, I believe), instead of the text from the text field. Normally you'd expect an error from JavaScript saying it can't find the referenced object--but I don't get anything like that. BTW: using Designer ES2 9.0
Maybe the toolTip part of the script should be separated from the caption part (creat an additional function) and perhaps on a different event? Like I said, It works if I feed it a string--just won't work with reference syntax? I don't get it.
Any insight? Thanks in advance!
