Hello,
I have been working on a form in Licecycle Designer ES2 that requires the user to be able to insert a table. I have managed to work out a code that will do that by having a button with the following script in the click event where I have a single-cell table and "Cell1" is a repeatable subform that acts as a cloumn:
// default rows and columns
var nRowCount = 3;
var nColCount = 4;
// ask user for row and column count
var sNumRows = xfa.host.response("How many rows? (max 15)", "New Table", nRowCount.toString());
var sNumCols = xfa.host.response("How many columns? (max X)", "New Table", nColCount.toString());
// get the user's response handling any invalid input
if (sNumRows != null && sNumRows.length > 0 && !isNaN(sNumRows))
nRowCount = Number(sNumRows);
if (sNumCols != null && sNumCols.length > 0 && !isNaN(sNumCols))
nColCount = Number(sNumCols);
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1").instanceManager.count = sNumRows;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1.Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[1].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[2].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[3].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[4].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[5].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[6].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[7].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[8].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[9].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[10].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[11].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[12].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[13].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[14].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
xfa.resolveNode("Table2.Row1[15].Cell1").instanceManager.count = sNumCols;
My question is a two parter. First, is there a better way to specify the duplication of columns in all rows? If I don't anticipate the rows as "Table2.Row1[x].Cell1" then only the first row will gain columns. Second, is there a way to automatically resize the width of the columns when the button is clicked? For instance, if the user chooses to have two rows, then I would like to have each column be about 3" wide. But if the user wants 3 columns, then they should each be about 2", and 4 columns would be about 1.5" each.
I have tried adding the following code (and as many variations as I can think of affecting the text field, the cell subform, the table, etc.) to the button's click action but it doesn't work:
if (sNumCols = "2") {
this.resolveNode("Table2.Row1.Cell1").w = "3in";
this.resolveNode("Table2.Row1.Cell1[1]").w = "3in";
}
