Re: Loop or count for unique in dropdown? - Adobe LiveCycle 19-02-2010
If you generate a unique list of school names from Access, then you can use simple dynamic property binding to populate the dropdown.If you are constrained to the current XML schema, then you are going to have to populate the dropdown with code.The high-level steps are:1. Retrieve all school names2. Create a list of unique school names3. Populate the dropdown1. Retrieve all school namesI recommend retrieving the school names directly from the data DOM, rather than use unecessary binding e.g.var ...

You can format number decimal places in JavaScript using .toFixed() e.g.var testNumber = 3.0123;this.rawValue = testNumber.toFixed(1); // result is 3.0Ben Walshhttp://www.avoka.com

Re: LiveCycle Designer Form Filling on Tablet PC with Stylus - Adobe LiveCycle 17-02-2010
You can enter data into form fields with a stylus on Windows Tablet PC Edition using its built in hand writing recognition software.You can get to this from the on-screen keyboard - they call it the Tablet PC Input Panel.I have experience of it working well on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and I have heard that it continued to improve in Vista and Windows 7.Ben Walshhttp://www.avoka.com

Re: Adding a sub form between 2 flowed subforms - Adobe LiveCycle 17-02-2010
Please see the fixed form attached.You had two issues:1. The subforms containing the expanding fields (SF_DIV and Subform12) needed to be flowed2. The subform (Subform11.Table2.Row1[2].untitled Subform) was flowed, but had a fixed height which prevented it from expandingI also reduced the size of your form from 201KB to 14KB by turning off 'Embed Fonts' in Form Properties > Save OptionsRegards,Ben Walshhttp://www.avoka.com

Re: Saving to and collecting data from a database - Adobe LiveCycle 30-07-2009
This is typically implemented as a LiveCycle orchestration:Form 1 is completed and submitted to a LiveCycle orchestration on the serverThe orchestration saves the submitted data to the database and then uses it to pre-populate Form 2 Form 2 is sent to the userCommon options for these steps include:Submission by email using a LiveCycle email end-point or secure, seamless submission by HTTPS to a web component (e.g. servlet or ASP.NET page) that calls the orchestration as a web service using the L...

Of course, you can wrap the repeating subforms in a parent subform and then hide the parent with one line of code Ben Walshwww.avoka.com

Re: Two SubForms with one having dynamic table - Adobe LiveCycle 29-07-2009
You need to set subform 1 to flowed.What is happening is that subform 1 is not expanding with the dynamic table because it is positioned. The table is expanding outside of its parent subform. As subform 1 does not expand, then subform 2 does not move.The golden rule is that any subform that has dynamic content and every one of its parent subforms up the hierarchy all the way to the root must be flowed.If this rule is not followed then you will get overlapping content. An easy check is to click o...

Re: How to Use Switch Statement with Exclusion Group (radio buttons)? - Adobe LiveCycle 29-07-2009

Re: Automatically adding dates in date range - Adobe LiveCycle 21-07-2009
Yes - this is very possible.To make it work, you have to:1. Set up your timesheet entries as fields within a repeating subform2. Decide when you want the timesheet entries to update e.g. on the click of a button or as the user enters a new date3. Write code on the appropriate event to calculate the number of days between the dates and set the number of instances of the repeating subformPlease see the example form attached.Notes:- I used FormCalc as this makes it easier to manipulate dates. Typic...

Re: Pdf attachment to a webservice - Adobe LiveCycle 12-06-2009
A typical implementation for this would be for the form to submit XML data using HTTPS back to a LiveCycle ES server. You can then use a LiveCycle orchestration to re-constitute the PDF and invoke the web service.If you have no option but to call the web service directly from the form, then you can send the data and the web service provider would need to reconstitute the PDF. I know of a trick to send attached documents to a web service, but not the PDF itself. Perhaps, someone else on the forum...
