Hi GeneveXThe parenthesis didn’t change anything. So I have tried using
a variable. Just a simple statement to start with, to see if I could
identify the number of instances. And here seems to be a problem.I put a
statement in a button that returns a message box. var nPerson1 =
Personer.Person1.instanceManager.count if (nPerson1==0) {
xfa.host.messageBox("There are no instances"); } else {
xfa.host.messageBox("There are more instances"); }It works fine if there
are instances, but if there are no...
Hi everybodyI have an issue with the instance manager.I have a repeated
subform containing a delete button. The delete action works fine until I
delete the last instance as I want the action, not only to delete the
last instance, but also to hide the entire subform.I use this script on
the click event:_Person1.removeInstance(this.parent.parent.index);I
tried to put this on the MouseUp: (found it here:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4137110#4137110)if
(this.parent.parent.instanceIndex ==

Hi, I’m trying to replace a line feed in a form field where data is
imported to the field.I can make the replace function work when typing
into the field, but I can’t figure out how to make it work on imported
data.This is the script I use:if (xfa.event.newText.match(/[\n]/)
){xfa.event.change = "LF"} Regards,Kirstine
I have now been able to reproduce the error. The data get encoded wrong
when the form is filled out in Adobe Reader 8. (Or at least in Reader
8.2 which is the version I have for testing).The easy way out for me
would be to ask all the clients to upgrade Adobe Reader but that is not
practically posible, as we have thousand of clients using this form.
Would it be posible to script my way out of this?Kirstine
Hi, I have been met with a strange problem. I have a form with a 2D
barcode. The barcode is a pdf417 barcode and the character encoding is
ISO-8859-1.Often the field data include special characters as Æ – Ø – Å
– Ü Most of the time everyting is fine. But now and then (I guess one in
a thousand) it seams that the encodeding of the special characters get
wrong. e.i in the form field the data is ”Ørskov” but the barcode data
says ”Ãrskov”. I have not been able to reproduce the error in house but
I ...
I found a useful script here which made it posible for me to make the
function I wanted.var myRegex = /\d{6}[a-zA-Z]{4}/;if (this.rawValue !=
null || this.rawValue != '') if (this.rawValue.match(myRegex)){ var
nChoice = xfa.host.messageBox("Did you mean 999999-AAAA?", "Messagebox
title",2,2); if (nChoice === 4) { function isEmpty(str) { if(str == null
|| str.length == 0) { return true; } return false; } try { var vEID =
this.rawValue; if (!isEmpty(vEID)){ this.rawValue =
vEID.substr(0,6)+"-"+vEI...
Useful script. I was wondering if it is posible to extend the script to
set each first character of a word to upper case and the rest to lower
case, if there are several words in the field i.e. ”james brown” will be
set to ”James Brown”and “JAMES BROWN” wil be set to”James Brown” I tried
this:uC.substr(0,1).toUpperCase()+""+uC.substr(1).toLowerCase();But this
only sets the first character to upper case and the rest of the field to
lower case. How do I acces the next word?Kirstine
I could, if I was shure the input always would match that pattern but I
can’t be. Most inputs will match the pattern 999999-AAAA but the field
should be open for all other input patterns as well.
How do I make a function to insert a character into the middel of a
text?I want something like this:The user types “999999AAAA” and leaves
the field. A messagebox asks “did you mean 999999-AAAA?”, the users
choose “yes” and a hyphen is inserted in the text.I have made a regex to
look for the “999999AAAA” and a messagebox but how can I change the
field value to have a dash in the middle?var myRegex =
/\d{6}[a-zA-Z]{4}/; if (this.rawValue != null || this.rawValue != ''){
if (this.rawValue.match(my...
After som e-mailing Paul gave me this solution:"comment out the
xfa.host.print command and put the command app.execMenuItem("Print")
this will work on your button (it is actually hitting the Print command
in the Acrobat menus.)"And he also wrote:"Ok I figured this out ......It
has to do with the order that things are happening .....User clicks the
print button and casues the click event to fire.Your code gets
interpretted. The xfa.host.numPages -1 gets interpretted and returns the
numof pages in...
Hi paulI use Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 but I have tested the form in Reader
10.1.1 on a virtual machine as well.I have tried to set the template
target version to 8.1 and 9 but that didn’t make any difference.However,
I think I have come a bit closer to what happens. When I use ctrl+p the
print range in the printer settings menu is set to Print Range = All.But
when I use the print button (I use LiveCycles standard print button) the
printing range is suddenly set to Print Range = Pages: 1I even made a
ne...
Hi, I have come across a strange problem.I have a form with multiple
pages, some are visible on the screen and some are hidden but should
print. I thought it would be rather simple to set the visiblitiy to
present on prePrint and hide the pages again on postPrint.But, and here
comes the problem, if I use the print button the hidden pages are set to
visible on the screen but they don’t print. If I use ctrl+p instead the
pages are set to visible on the screen and do print. Why??I tried to set
the ...
HiI have made a message box that shows the value of a text field when a
button is clicked. I would like to add some message text to the message
box as well, so that my message box will show something like:You have
entered this data: "textField value"This script works to show the text
field value but I cannot figure out how to combine it with an ordinary
message box text message. I have tried various combinations of () and “
“ but no luck.if (TextField1.rawValue !=
null){xfa.host.messageBox(TextF...
This is just for the record.After some testing I discovered that my code
only works if there is the same value for KtNr in instances right after
one another, i.e. number 2 and 3 and not number 2 and 4.I changed my
script to be more like the one Malcolm suggested and it looks like it
works.var nEffekt1 = subform1.MyInstance.instanceManager.count if
(nEffekt1>1){for (var i=0; i
Hi Malcolm Thanks for your answer. I couldn’t make it work, but it let
me in the right direction. This is how I managed to solve my problem: if
(subform1.MyInstance.instanceManager.count>1)//to check if the form has
more than one instance{if(xfa.resolveNode("subform1.MyInstance
["+(subform1.MyInstance.instanceManager.count-1)+"].KtNr").rawValue ==
xfa.resolveNode("subform1.MyInstance
["+(subform1.MyInstance.instanceManager.count-2)+"].KtNr").rawValue) {
xfa.host.messageBox("Error"); }else{ xfa.h...
I use the instance manager to add subforms to a form. In the subform I
have a field “KtNr” and I would like make a warning if the same data has
been typed in this field for more than one instance.I tried this code on
the validate event of the field “KtNr”, but it does not work.var
subDetail = subform1.reolveNodes("MyInstance[*]");for (i=0;

HiI use a custom script for my barcodes in a form with multiple
instances and it works all right. There is just one little thing.Empty
field values get encoded to the barcode as ”null”. How do I change that
to be just empty? The script I use looks like this://{{Start Generated
Content//var is705ViewerRequired = false;//End Generated Content}}//
function encodeBarcode() { var str = fieldName1.rawValue + "|" +
xfa.resolveNode("subform1[" + this.parent.index +
"].fieldName2").rawValue + "|" + xfa.r...
It is no longer posible to search the forums for specific key words. I
usually use the search function a lot. Nov tt looks like the it only
search people and not the forums.I don't know where to report this error
that's why it comes here.Kirstine
I suddenly noticed that the orde of tha data is defined by the order in
which I add the fields to my collection. Therefore: new collection and
pick the field in the wanted order.Kirstine
Paul,Such a little thing and yet so importent. It works.Radzmar I like
your script because I don’t have to referre to my field by its exact
name. (I may change the name of the field and forget all about the
script) Thanks to both of you.Kirstine
Hi Paul,I followed your advise but it doesn’t seem to change anything.
And yes I am on the exit event. form1.#subform[0].TextField1::exit -
(FormCalc, client) if(xfa.host.messageBox("Do you want to change the
field value?", "Warning", 2, 2)=="4")then
xfa.host.setFocus(TextField1)endif Kirstine
Hi there,I am making message box in formCalc and I would like to set the

.form1.#subform[0].TextField1::exit - (FormCalc,
client)if(xfa.host.messageBox("Do you want to change the field value?",
"Warning", 2, 2)=="4")then xfa.host.setFocus($)endif I can make the
function work in JavaScript but not in FormCalc. Can some tell me whats
wrong? It has to be FormCalc as the message box will pop up at the end
of a long complex calculation that I didn’t ...
HiI had hoped it was posible to control the printing more detailed. But
the show/hide extra pages might be a solutionbetter than the one I was
able to come up with.Kirstine
