Clear field when amount is 0

[Former Member]

Hey,

I have an input field from the type decimal. When the value, which is coming from the interface,

is 0, it shows the 0 in the field. Is it possible to supress the output of the field, when it is 0?

Can you please show me how to do that? I have just done a few changes in Adobe interactive forms,

so please describe in a way for newbies.

Thank you!

Hi Michael,

I am assuming the Hierarchy like this:

BodyPage

--> Subform

--> Decimal field

You can write following code in the "form:ready" event of the bodypage:

if ( $.Subform.Decimalfield == 0 ) then

$.Subform.Decimalfield = ""

endif

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much!

I have never done something with events inside of interactive forms. Where do I find them?

Goto Palettes --> Script Editor

Then select the BodyPage, and in the Show dropdown of Script Editor select the formready event.

Hmmm,

I have done it in the way you showed me, but it´s still shown with "0,00"....

Can I debug the script? From my point of view, it normally should work now...

Can you tell me the hierarchy of the Form.

You can debug the form using messages in the script. Like

$host.messagebox("In the event")

Hi,

I have my "page1" and under that a table node.

Then the table body and then the field called PRICE.

Like this:

page1->table->tablebody->PRICE

And I have done this:

On the table node at form ready:

if ($.tablebody.PRICE == 0) then

$.tablebody.PRICE = ""

endif

On the tablebody node at form ready:

if ($.PRICE == 0) then

$.PRICE = ""

endif

But both didn´t do something...

Do you know what´s wrong?

Thank you!

Sorry,

Code shoyuld be:

if ($.tablebody.PRICE == 0) then

$.tablebody.PRICE.rawValue = ""

endif

and check the condition is getting satisfied or not by putting messagebox in it.

if ($.tablebody.PRICE == 0) then

$host.messagebox("In the if")

$.tablebody.PRICE.rawValue = ""

endif

if it is not coming in if then compare it with 0.00.

Hope this helps
