Validation of Text Fields (LCD 8.0)

Avatar

Level 2

Hello,

I have a text field where users enter a code consisting af one of four letters, say B, C, D, or E, followed by 4 digits, e.g. B0123.  I know how to validate the pattern to get a character followed by 4 digits using A9999 in the Value-->Validation Pattern.  But that allows G1234, and G is not an ``allowed'' letter.

Now, I'd like to use something like the following for the validation pattern in order to make sure that only the 4 allowed letters are used:

Validation Pattern: 'B'9999 | 'C'9999 | 'D'9999 | 'E'9999

Unfortunately, this doesn't work.  Any suggestions how to achieve my goal?  (No, a drop-down list is not an option, since there are hundreds of possible options).

Thanks and Cheers

Markus

You have the script saved in wrong position also need to set up 'A9999' as Validation rule.

Here you go...........

Here is simple rout to overcome this.......I would use JS script similar to the following in 'exit' event of the Text field.

var element = this.rawValue;
var subSection = element.substring(1,0);

if(subSection == "B"){

     //good
}else if(subSection == "C") {
     //good

}else if(subSection == "D") {
     //good

}else if(subSection == "E") {
     //good

}else {
     xfa.host.messageBox("Value in this should start with one of B, C, D, E");
     xfa.host.setFocus("this.somExpression");
}

Hi LC Prof,

thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, I'm new to this whole XML/JS thing.

Here's the complete XML code snippet for the field including my

attempt to adapt your suggestion:

<field h="9.525mm" name="Project" w="28.575mm" x="203.2mm" y="22.225mm"><br /> <ui><br /> <textEdit><br /> <border><br /> <edge presence="hidden"></edge><br /> <fill><br /> <color value="194,224,246"></color><br /> </fill><br /> <corner presence="hidden"></corner><br /> </border><br /> <margin></margin><br /> </textEdit><br /> <picture>A9999</picture><br /> </ui><br /> <font typeface="Myriad Pro"></font><br /> <margin bottomInset="1mm" leftInset="1mm" rightInset="1mm"<br />topInset="1mm"></margin><br /> <para vAlign="middle"></para><br /> <caption reserve="15.4984mm"><br /> <font typeface="Myriad Pro"></font><br /> <para vAlign="middle"></para><br /> <value><br /> <text>Project #:</text><br /> </value><br /> </caption><br /> <border><br /> <edge></edge><br /> <corner thickness="0.1753mm"></corner><br /> </border><br /> <format><br /> <picture>A9999</picture><br /> </format><br /> <exit><br /> var ProjectNo=Project;<br /> var subSection = ProjectNo.substring(1,0);<br /> if(subSection == "R"){<br /> //good<br /> } else if(subSection == "D"){<br /> //good<br /> } else if(subSection == "G"){<br /> //good<br /> } else if(subSection == "S"){<br /> //good<br /> } else if(subSection == "C"){<br /> //good<br /> } else {<br /> xfa.host.messageBox("Value in this should start with<br />one of B, C, D, E");<br /> }<br /> </exit><br /> </field>

This does not do anything, however. I'd really appreciate a hint as

to what I'm doing wrong. I'm assuming that it's a really obvious

newbie thing

Thanks and Cheers

Replace line var ProjectNo=Project; with one of the following and make sure you have seleted the Language to "JavaScript" on the script window. Then try it worked for me it should work for you. Attach your copy if you still have issues.

var ProjectNo=Project.rawValue;

or

var ProjectNo=this.rawValue;

i did that, but still nothing happened.  Maybe I'm doing something completely wrong ...

Attached is a test pdf file, and pasted below is the corresponding complete XML code.  Maybe that'll help you show me what I'm doing wrong ...

Thanks so much for youer time and help, I appreciate it a lot!
