setValue-Replicant

System

Hi,

I have a item called DependentFiles with replicant.I want to set the value for item Name.I am doing like this

IWDatacapture.getItem("/DependentFiles/Name").setValue("test");
But it is not working.??
<item name="DependentFiles">
<label>DependentFiles</label>
<replicant min="1" max="999">
<item name="Path">

<browser ceiling-dir="/templatedata/General/" initial-dir="/templatedata/General/" size="30"/>
</item>
<item name="Name">

<text size="10">
</text>

</item>

</replicant>
</item>

Thanx in advance

You need to specify which instance of the replicant you are referring to. They are numbered starting at 1. If memory serves, the path to the first one, for your example, is:
/DependentFiles[1]/Name

Change the 1 to any other value to access various instances of the replicant.

Thanx for your reply it works with
this
/DependentFiles[1]/Name.

If i have 10 replicants i need to set the value in ItemChange.In my example if i have 10 paths in first item i need set name automatically through onItemChange event.

Is it possible mentioned like below
/DependentFiles[1-99]/Name. or each time we need to specify replicant number.

Thanx in advance

I'm fairly certain that ranges don't work, so you'd have to put it in a loop. Something like:

for (i = 1; i <=10; i++)
{
var item = IWDatacapture.getItem("/DependentFiles[" + i + "]/Name");
// Do something with item.
}

i have a container replicant. but setvalue

does not help for

IWDatacapture.getItem("/Submission_Documents[4]/File Residence").setValue(fullpt);

If the text field is out side the container replicant the setvalue works fine.

What can i do ??

JonathonG

Not real sure what the problem may be, here's a couple of thoughts.

Are there 5 instances of the replicant? Remember that the index is 0-based.

You might want to post your datacapture.cfg and javascript file (as attachments).

Also, be sure to include TS version/patch level and OS version/patch level

Using TS6... but solved the issue .
i used the set value for each instance with a loop.
but thank u.

However there is another question.
can u validate ur dct using the finish button vth formapi ??
if so how do u access the finish button ?

JonathonG

Haven't used 6.0 yet, so I'm not real sure. I would guess that the Finish button fires the onClose event, but that's really just a guess (albeit an educated one). If not, I would look at the 6.0 FormAPI documentation and see if there is an "onFinish" event or something like it.

yes it fires onclose . It checks out if the form is saved or not if not prompts us to save as and then closes off. but when i tried onclose handler it did not help.

JonathonG

What do you mean by "it did not help"? Your event handler didn't get called? or it didn't do what you wanted it to do? If its the second question, post a detailed description of what you want to accomplish, what you've tried, and how it failed. If its fhe first question, then I would say its one of two things: "Finish" doesn't fire the onClose event, or, more likeley, you didn't register your event handler correctly.

Hi jonathan,

Its the first case. no, i did regester the event properly. i checked it manytimes. So may be finish does not fire onclose event . Doing some more R&D on it. will let u know if something useful turns up.

I appreciate ur help. Thank You.

JonathonG

mon: Could you post your event-registration code and your event handler function?

Others: Anyone with TS6 experience know what event is fired whent the user clicks the "finish" button?
