I have a background picture of a functional location. On top of that picture I have another picture - a "map marker" - that I want to move dynamicly to point on the actual equipment.
....so it is not possible to put a &X& (abap variabel) into the position field for X ?
By setting x and y, I meant you can change the image co-ordinates of that on the form. Lets assume you have embedded image element at a certain position while designing in LiveCycle Designer, then depending on user input if you want to move that then you set the properties again as I mentioned above.
I am little confused and amazed here. Are you doing this in Adobe Interactive Form?
....in my ALV report I list equipments for a specific func.loc. When the end-user click on one equipment I want to preview the form (and now I need to move the "map marker" IMAGE based on X & Y stored in my Z-table)
...my "map marker" is a standard "Image" object from the standard Library, and I want to use input abap variables for the position X & Y. But it seems like this is not possible in Adobe Forms.....
I hope I got you correctly, so basically you want a Google Map Marker like functionality in your Adobe Form
which has two images (Functional Location & Map Marker) and you want to somehow place the "Map Marker" Image on the "Functional Location" Map as per the X and Y values coming from the backend. Am I correct?
If the X and Y you get from the Backend maps correctly to the X and Y position of the Fucntional Location Image on the form then the below solution should work.
1. Create two hidden Text Fields and bind them to the correct node from where you get the X & Y position data in Bindings tab.
For e.g. I have TextField1 and TextField2. Select it individually and then goto object palette and set the Presence property to Hidden(Exclude From Layout)
2. Instead of Image use ImageField elements in your form.
For e.g. I have taken ImageField1 (for Functional Location Image) and ImageField2 (for Map Marker Image). You can make the caption blank if you don't want.
3. In form:ready event of the main Subform write following code in JavaScript. If the binding is correctly done for the Text Fields you will get the X and Y values from backend as popup when the form is loaded.
// Alert to see if we get the X and Y Position data. If we don't get means the Binding is missing/incorrect or data is not maintained in the backend.
xfa.host.messageBox("X Pos : "+TextField1.rawValue);
xfa.host.messageBox("Y Pos : "+TextField2.rawValue);
ImageField1.access = "readOnly";
ImageField2.access = "readOnly";
ImageField2.x = TextField1.rawValue;
ImageField2.y = TextField2.rawValue;
