Hi,I know it's too late, but I can share something In the default field
in the property you can press combination keys after each line to create
new line effect without going to the XML source.These keys are:
Ctrl+EnterFor example:If you type in the Default field or in the Tool
tip : This is a
testYou should get this effect in the field or in its tool tip popup:
This is a testI hope this will save some key strokes and lower code
maintenance.BR,Yasser
Hi,I'm creating subform that contains "tabs", I want to change the
z-order of the a tab when it's clicked to be on top of other tabs.it
seems instanceIndex does not work or it wan not mint for this kind of
visual effects. Any idea on how this can be achieved?BR,Yasser
Ok...I got it.This is how the objects are organized :and here is the
objects hierarchy: Here is a sample that works (with the associated
events):@ "initialize" event on the drop down list:try{
imgIconA.presence = "hidden"; imgIconB.presence = "hidden";
imgIconC.presence = "hidden";}catch(err){
xfa.host.messageBox(err.message);}@ "change" event on the drop down
listtry{ switch (xfa.event.newText){ case "A": { imgIconA.presence =
"visible"; imgIconB.presence = "hidden"; imgIconC.presence = "hidden...
Hi,Assuming the following:Images are of the same size andthey are all
staked on top of each othersthey are all hidden, thenYou can use the
following code, switch statement, in your "change" event in the
DropDownList2 as following: switch(xfa.event.newText){ case "Item One":
image01.presence = "visible"; image02.presence = "hidden";
image03.presence = "hidden"; break; case "Item Two": image01.presence =
"hidden"; image02.presence = "visible"; image03.presence = "hidden";
break; case "Item Three":...
Hi Bruce, Yup...I think this the way to go.Maybe Adobe should look at
this, because in real life, you could have one to many relationship
between bounded values and selection items (like the countries/currency
list)Again, thanks for the hel 🙂BR,Yasser
Hi,I'm trying to set (via js on the "Change" event) the value of text
field (called "txtClientCurrency") with the selected item's bounded
value in a droplist (called "droplistClientCountry").The droplist
contains the counteries and the binded values contains the currency code
(e.g., SAR, EURO, US, etc...) and as you can imagine, some currencies
are used by more than one country.When I select, for example, "United
State" from the droplist, the txtClientCurrency field is set correctly
to "USD".How...
Thanks Nail,Yes this will work perfectly if the list of items are
minimal, but if you have 1,000's of line items (such product SKU's)
then, this will be over killing, especially if you have this DD in a
repeatable sub-forms (kind of BoQ). This will be a huge overhead both in
size and perfromance...I'm still researching a kind of "in-memory" or
"pointer" referencing of values in DD...I hope someone from Adobe
product development team can shade a light on a "non-documented"
method.BR,Yasser
Hi Naill,Yes, your answer is very logical due the way the XML nodes are
structured in the XFA... I think you need to change the XML at run time
to do such movments/creations of objects.Thanks BR,Yasser
Hi Naill,Thank for your reply.The second case is what I'm looking for...
I'll visit the links you suggested an get back to you if I have any
challanges.Thanks again,BR,Yasser
Hi,Using scripting, how do you copy object (say subform or list box
etc…) from one page to another page?(Similarly, what's the script that
enable you moving one object from a container subform to another subform
container?)Thanks,Yasser
Hi,I have a list object (list1) that is empty and another list that have
over 1,000 items (list2).How I can copy the values in list2 to list1
without looping through list2 items? Is there a reference assignment?
For example; you can copy the image value of one image object to another
image object by using the following assignment: ImageField1.rawValue =
Image1.value.image.value;I tried the following for the list but did not
work :list1.rawValue = lsit2.rawValue;lsit1.value =
list2.value;list1.it...
Hi Stephen,Thanks for the reply.My question is about getting the
dimension of a suform that expand its height dynamically based on the
adding more subforms, for example!For example if you have a subform call
mySubForm and if its high is "5cm", then if you run the following
script: xfa.host.messageBox("The height of my subform is: " +
mySubform.h);Will return "The height of my subform is: 5cm" only if the
"Expand to fit" property is not checked.Once the "Expand to fit"
property is checked, then t...
Hi,Is there any way to get the dimensions (h & w) of dynamic objects
(such as subform, or text field) via scripting?To get way I was looking
for, I tried using "object.h" or "object.w" in various events timings
(i.e., @ initialize, form:ready and layout:ready) but I always get the
result as "0".If someone there knows a better way to place (event) the
code or have different approach, I do appreciate it. BR,Yasser
Hi Niall,Many thanks, it works very well, really appreciate your
support.The "image.value" part of your script can not be found in the
Auto Complete in LC Designer ES2 when you start typing it!!!!I strongly
believe that Adobe must enhance its documentation and provide more and
more basic examples on each method.Once again, thanks for your
support.BR,Yasser
Hi,You can do the following:Create a master page with the invoice
fields/content on that master page, then Create 3 form pages that
reference the master page, finallyOne each page, you can position the
text labels "Original", "Copy", and "****" the way you like.I hope the
above would be healpful for you.BR,Yasser
Hi,I'm trying to clone one object and make duplicate of it using
scripting in LC Designer ES2. one of these two use cases represent what
I need to do:Reference an existing empty object (or unassigned/unset
object) to the value of another similar object type. For example; I have
an empty "image" object (imgObj1), I need to copy or clone the value of
another image object (imgObj2) to imgObj1 to make imgObj1's values and
attributes exactly the same as imgObj2. Another example, an empty list

Hi,I'm facing continuous crashes from LC WB ES2 when trying to open a
process for viewing or editing and a Windows messages pops up saying
that the Java Platform SE binary stopped working (see image below).Below
are the screen snapshot after the crash.I'm running a fresh installation
of LC ES 2 (Version: 9.0.0.0.20091021.2.223388) on Windows Ultimate
32bit edition.Also, attached are the latest Configuration and Error Log
files for reference.Many thanks for your help.BR,Yasser
Hi Hélène,Many thanks for your answers...I started going through the
links and reading the stuff. I've gone through the LC Designer Scripting
Reference on the previous versions, looking at the 8.2 version of the
reference, it seems they have the same issue of not sufficient
examples/explanations on how to access non-common features/properties.
The problem I'm facing is I think in understanding the grammer of XFA
and referencing in some special cases such as dealing with
non-interactive objects.T...
Hi,Thank you for your post, it was indeed very helpful.Another question,
how can I script the change of the fill property of non-interactive
objects such as circle or rectangle objects.For example, how some could
change the fill type (i.e., solid, linear, radial, etc...) start color
and end color, border colors, etc...And where I can find more examples
or reading material (with example) of referencing all the objects in XFA
(especially the #ui stuff).I have attached one document that I'm usually...
