Hi,

It depends on what version of LC Designer you have AND what version of Acrobat/Reader that the users have.

One method would be to propagate the event. See here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/9.0/designerHelp/index.htm?conte nt=000018.html.

You would place generic script in the exit event of the subform and enable propagation for that script. This would mean that the script would fire as the user exits any field within that subform.

Please note that you would need to keep the script generic, so that for example this.rawValue would refer to the value of the field just exited.

Also the form would need to be opened in Acrobat/Reader v9.1 or above, as event propagation is not supported in earlier versions.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Hi,

You can add the propagation instruction in the XML Source, but proceed with caution.

The latest version of LC Designer (v10), you can turn on the option for Event Propagation in the Tools > Options dialog:

I am not sure that you will get the propagation to work from the Action Builder. You may need to add the script yourself, directing into an appropriate event in the Script Editor.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Hi Anders,

It is not a big/insurmountable step to create your own script, instead of using Action Builder.

Let's say TextField1 is in the first column and TextField2 is in the second column. The following JavaScript in the exit event of the subform (propagated) should work:

if (xfa.event.target.name === "TextField1") {
     if (xfa.event.target.rawValue === null) {
          var vRow = xfa.event.target.parent.index; 
          xfa.resolveNode("Row1[" + vRow + "].TextField2").access = "open"; 
     }
     else {
          var vRow = xfa.event.target.parent.index; 
          xfa.resolveNode("Row1[" + vRow + "].TextField2").access = "readOnly"; 
     }
}

Okay, it might seem a little involved and the script above will depend on your form's structure. But the message should be that it is possible.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Hi Anders,

There is a working example here: http://assure.ly/LucDMf.
