Hide submit button in form

[jlsim]

Hi all,

I have an interactive form with a submit button that i displayed online thru webdynpro for the user to key in data. And when user clicked on the submit button, i will validate the data in the webdynpro action handler, and will send out a copy of the same form as an attachment in email.

But when sending this form in email, i do not want the email recipient to see the submit button when they open up the form to view. And the form should be in display mode as well.

So 2 questions:

1. how do i go about hiding the submit button and setting the form in display mode?

2. For setting the form in display mode... i currently uses cl_wd_adobe_services create_pdf method to generate the xstring for email, so i can set the enable = ' '. Any other way to do this if i going to use the xstring from pdfsource of the interactive form UI element?

Hi,

For Hiding the UI elements in Interactive form try using Scripts (FormCalc).

The script for hiding the Submit Button is:

<path of the UI element in the Subform>.presence = "visible" / "hidden"

The Script for making a field editable / read-only is:

<path of the UI element in the Subform>.access = "readOnly" (Not Sure about the casing

For more information, refer to the bolg:

Hi,

1. You could create a form without any (submit) button and place a native Web Dynpro button below the form

2. Using cl_wd_adobe_services is ok, but I wouldn't bind pdfSource then for performance reasons.

hi Ralf,

THanks for the answer.

1. Yeap. One of the option i am considering. Currently what i do is, insert a hidden checkbox into the form, bind it to a attribute in the Webdynpro context node. When i want to hide the submit button, i set this value to X and i put a javascript in the form to check this checkbox, if it is X i hide it. Any other idea will be great.

2. If i can use pdfsource straight then i guess it should be better? Is there anyway to manipulate the xstring to disable all the fields?
