Gopal,

This is possible using Formcalc. Let's say if you have a button field named "Button1" the use the following code to change its caption:-

Button1.caption.value.#text = "<Put Text you want here>"

Hi Chintan,

Thanks for your relpy..but I need it in JavaScript ...

The code given is used to set the caption, is there any way to get the caption using script?

Thanks

Gopal,

You have changed your intial question. Anyways this is possible too. Try this code in JavaScript :-

xfa.host.messageBox(Button1.resolveNode("Button1.caption.value.#text").value)

Also one more thing how does it matter if you get the result in Formcalc or JavaScript as long as you get it

Gopal,

Yes you are correct we cannot have a mix of Formcalc & JS ;-).

Here is the code you need though.

// Set the Button Caption
Button1.resolveNode("Button1.caption.value.#text").value = "Chintan";

// Display the Button caption in an alert.
xfa.host.messageBox(Button1.resolveNode("Button1.caption.value.#text").value);

Hello Chintan,

Thanks for your solution. it works.

But I would like to install this code in a loop. The following Scpript doesn't work. where does I make mistake ?

var fields = xfa.resolveNodes("data.positions.Tabelle[*].TEST ");

var fields1 = xfa.resolveNodes("data.positions.Tabelle[*].TEST1 ");

for (var i=0; i <= fields.length-1; i++) {

if (fields.item(i).rawValue == null)

{

fields.item(i).presence = "hidden";

}else {

fields.item(i).presence = "visible";

if (fields1.item(i).rawValue == null)

{

fields1.item(i).presence = "hidden";

fields.item(i).resolveNode("fields.item(i).caption.value.#text").value = "TEST";

}else { fields1.item(i).presence = "visible";

fields.item(i).resolveNode("fields.item(i).caption.value.#text").value = "TEST1";

}

}

}
