Show/hide Subform based on Numeric field value

[rishaana]

Hi All,

I have created my first form in LiveCycle Designer, but got stuck with the coding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the attached form, based on the Numeric Field value 'Total points' (Calculated from user input),I want two things to happen,

The text field 'level' should show different text according to the points,

•   Points less than 10 is "Beginner",
•   10-14 is "Intermediate"

          and like that...

If total points is less than 10, 'Beginners course' and 'Language' DropDownList should appear.

Is there any way to achieve this? I tried assigning "If" "else" statement, but it is not working. I looked into the previous threads, but couldn't find anything based on numeric value.

Looking for some help,
R

The attached satisfies your requirements. The following JavaScript on the TextField1 calculate event drives it.

// form1.#subform[0].TextField1::calculate - (JavaScript, client)

if (NumericField1.rawValue != 0) {
    if (NumericField1.rawValue < 10) {
        DropDownList1.presence = "visible";
        DropDownList2.presence = "visible";
        this.rawValue = "Beginner";
    }
    else {
        DropDownList1.presence = "hidden";
        DropDownList2.presence = "hidden";
        if (NumericField1.rawValue < 15) {
            this.rawValue = "Intermediate";
        }
        else {
            this.rawValue = "";
        }
    }
}

Thank you so much Steve. It worked.

I am sorry. This might be a dumb question to ask. In the code, could you please explain the first part, "(NumericField1.rawValue != 0)".

Since, I assigned the rest of the code, which obviously didn't work. I am new to coding.

Are there any coding tutorial available for LiveCycle Designer for newbies like me???

Thanks a lot

No dumb questions. The expression 'NumericField1.rawValue != 0' is used to test the value of NumericField1, in this case 0 (zero), which is the default value of a numeric field. I want to apply logic if the field is not 0, only.

Not really specific to LiveCycle but there are lots of javascript tutorials around. They're all pretty much geared towards the web but you can still learn the basics.

Hi Steve,

Sorry for bugging yor further. Another question. I want the changes to happen only after the rating points reaches '10' .

Is there any way to assign the condition to our code?

Thank you

Got it...

I have added another 'if" "else" statement to the code and it works as I wanted...

Thank you Steve.
