Delete table lines using checkbox

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

In an Adobe Form, we have created a table with control buttons to add and remove entries dynamically. We can add new lines succesfully using the "add" button.

In order to remove entries, one of the fields of the table is a checkbox, and we need to delete all entries checked when pressing "delete" button.

Could you provide us an example of javaScript code to delete table files?

Many thanks and regards

Hi Daniel,

We had similar requirement, and instead of a check box we added a button with each row, when the user clicks on that button row was deleted.

Following is the code written on the click event of that button:

xfa.resolveNode("Table.item").instanceManager.removeInstance(this.parent.index);

Hope this will help you.

With Regards,

Hi Amit,

Thank you very much for your answer. I've used buttons instead of check boxes and it works! But now we have a new question: Is there any way to show an icon in a button?.

I would need to place a "Delete" icon in my buttons. Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Instead of using the button in the column, use Image Field and in the Click event of the field write the code.

It should work. Let me know if there is any problem.

Hi Amit,

Many thanks! Now we have an image field with the correct icon, and we can script the Click event.

The problem is when we click on the image field, a "Select image file" popup appears. Is it possible to disable this popup.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Daniel,

I tried both the Image types: static and dynamic. In case of static images, all the events are disabled. And in case of dynmic image field Pop up is coming.

I guess, suppressing of PopUp is not possible, so we have to use buttons only for deleting the row.

Ok,

Finally I think we'll use normal buttons.

Many thanks for your help.
