var a = this.getField("newItem");
var b = this.getField("oldItem");
a.calcOrderIndex = b.calcOrderIndex + 1;
In this example, the
method
getField,
gets the
newItem
field that was added after
‘oldItem’ field. It then changes the
calcOrderIndex
of the
oldItem
field so that it is calculated
before ‘newItem’ field.
charLimit
Type: Integer
Fields: Text
Access: R/W
This property limits the number of characters that a user can type into a text field.
defaultValue
Type: String
Fields: All but Button
Access: R/W
This property exposes the default value of a field. This is the value that the field is set to when
the form is reset.
delay
Type: Boolean
Fields: All
Access: R/W
This property delays the redrawing of a field’s appearance. It is generally used to buffer a
series of changes to the properties of the field before requesting that the field regenerate its
appearance. Setting the property to
true
forces the field to wait until
delay
is set to
false.
The
update of its appearance then takes place, redrawing the field with its latest settings.
// Get the MyCheckBox field
var f = this.getField("MyCheckBox");
// set the delay and change the fields properties
// to beveled edge and medium thickness line.
f.delay = true;
f.borderStyle = border.b;
f.strokeWidth = 2;
// force the changes now
f.delay = false;
There is a corresponding document level
flag if changes are being made to many fields at
once.
