Variable type

[HyungSikKIM]

Dear All

I tried to set a path of field as below Code.

in case of case1, i can set a presence property to extPath.

but in case of case2, i can't set a presence property to extPath.

is there any function to change type of variable such as toString().

case 1

     var extPath = Test_Report.Test_Result2;

case 2

     var extPath = "Test_Report.Test_Result2";

------------------------------------------ Code ------------------------------------------

var extPath = Test_Report.Test_Result2;
var typeOfdevice = Test_Report.Test_Cover.sub_Cover_info.Cover_info.info_Device.D_Drop.rawValue;
var changeEvent = xfa.event.change;

     if(typeOfdevice == "범용"){
          Init.setPresence(extPath, "visible");

     }

// In the Init variable group

//Set Presence of Field or subform
function setPresence(obj, block){
obj.presence = block;
};

var extPath = Test_Report.Test_Result2.rawValue;

If est_Report.Test_Result2 is a text field extPath should be a string. If you are suspicious of type coercion and run-time errors you can use standard JavaScript methods, for example

var str = Test_Report.Test_Result2.rawValue;

var extPath = str.toString();

or

var str = Test_Report.Test_Result2.rawValue;

var extPath = parseInt(str);

or

var str = Test_Report.Test_Result2.rawValue;

var extPath = parseFloat(str);

etcetera.
