Dynamic Change the Captioned Text

[former_member274308]

Hi Guru,

Original Captioned is "1234"

But Business Requirement is to change them dynamically depend on program passed parameter.

If ($.parent.TESTRUN.isNull) then

    $.parent.TESTRUN.caption = "AAAA"

else

    $.parent.TESTRUN.caption = "BBBB"

endif

Such Logic already applied to

initialize; doReady;ready:Form;ready"layout

But the result is Always "1234".

Any Idea what is missing?

Regards,

Matthew

As i told you, use javascript not formcalc,see below

and also write my code is on initialize event, not on ready event.

OR

if you want to do it with formcalc, try below

$.fieldname.value.#text = "new caption"

Hope this helps.

Hi Matthew,

The recommendation is to provide the caption in the data and not to hard code it in the scripting as part of the form. The caption might change and also might need to be localized.

You can use a feature called Dynamic Properties. It needs to be turned on in the Options dialog (Tools -> Options) on the Data Binding panel.

The Caption in the Field panel of the Object palette then becomes a hyperlink. Clicking on it brings up a data binding dialog and you can select a data binding.

Regardfs,

Try below javascript on initialize event of field,

xfa.resolveNode("filedname.caption.value.#text").value = "new caption";

Hope this helps.
