script to force Highlights On when user opens form?

[JJStrang]

I am wondering if there is a way to ensure that the Highlight feature in Reader is on when someone opens my form. This will help them to see where they have to enter information. Can I include a script in my form to do this?

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

If you select the root / parent in the hierarchy (form1) and put the following javascript in the docReady event:

app.runtimeHighlight = true; 

This will turn on the light blue shading to all fields and give a red border to required fields. It is a good idea to put the following in the docClose event so that when the user opens a different form, the Highlight is off.

app.runtimeHighlight = false; 

Hope that helps,

Niall
