Want to omit field borders from printing

[mdawn50]

I have done this before successfully on a text field. Now I would like to do this on a Date/Time Field, but I don't know how to ref

erence the field. For the Text Field, I've used textField.

And how do I find out these object names for other types of fields.

Thanks,

Hi,

One way would be to have the following in the prePrint event:

var vName = this.name.toString();
xfa.resolveNode(vName + ".ui.dateTimeEdit.border.edge").presence = "invisible";
/* Check the type of object and change the .ui reference:
     Date field =      #dateTimeEdit  
     Dropdown =      #choiceList  
     Checkbox =      #checkButton  
     Text field =      #textEdit  
     Numeric field =     #numericEdit
*/ 

and then a corresponding script in the postPrint setting the presence back to "visible".

The ui properties for other object types are commented out below the script.

You would think that this.border.edge.presence = "invisible"; would work, but it doesn't.

Good luck,

That's what I needed.
