I searched a lot, and do a lots of R&D on this. By this document i want to save your time to write javascript syntax.
Retrieve context structure data
var LV_DATA = xfa.resolveNode("$record.IM_TEST.FIELDNAME").value;
/*
Where,
LV_DATA : variable to hold data
IM_TEST : context structure variable (Import parameter variable)
FIELDNAME : name of field in structure
*/
Retrieve context internal table data
var LV_DATA = xfa.resolveNode("$record.IM_TEST.DATA[" + INDX + "].FIELDNAME").value;
/*
Where,
INDX : index of table record. (start from zero).
LV_DATA : variable to hold data
IM_TEST : context table variable (Import parameter variable)
FIELDNAME : name of field in internal table
*/
OR if you are looping a table
var IMTEST = xfa.resolveNodes("$record.IM_TEST.DATA[*]");
var LV_DATA;
for (var i = 0; i < IMTEST.length; i++) {
LV_DATA = xfa.resolveNode("$record.IM_TEST.DATA[" + i + "].FIELDNAME").value;
}
/*
Where,
INDX : index of table record. (start from zero).
LV_DATA : variable to hold data
IM_TEST : context table variable (Import parameter variable)
FIELDNAME : name of field in internal table
*/
Retrieve control (field) data
Manipulate (reference) fields in script for adobe forms
Set dynamic Caption
xfa.resolveNode(this.name + ".caption.value.#text").value = "new caption";
/*
Where,
this.name = name of a field. "use on initialize event
*/
Set dynamic reserve space of Caption
this.caption.reserve = "1in";
//use on initialize event
Hide/Visible dynamically any control
this.presence = "hidden"; //values are case sensitive
//Options: visible, invisible, hidden, inactive
Get/Set form fields value
this.rawValue = "new value"; //SET
var value = this.rawValue; //GET
Get current index
var INDX = this.index;
var PRNTINDX = this.parent.index; //to get parent container index
var PRNNTINDX = this.parent.parent.index; //to get parent container's parent index
Useful Arithmetic Operators
var y = 5;
x = ++y; //x = 6 and y = 6
x = y++; //x = 5 and y = 6
x = y % 2; //division remainder x = 1
Set floating points of field
this.rawValue = (this.rawValue).toFixed(3);
//Note: 3 is total no. of fraction point to display using ceiling operation
Useful Math functions
this.rawValue = Math.abs(this.rawValue); //to positive value (-1.1 to 1.1)
this.rawValue = Math.ceil(this.rawValue); //to rounded upwards to the nearest integer (1.1 to 2)
this.rawValue = Math.floor(this.rawValue); //to rounded downwards to the nearest integer (1.1 to 1)
this.rawValue = Math.round(this.rawValue); //to the nearest integer (1.1 to 1 and 1.5 to 2)
Use Regular Expression
var reg = new RegExp(/[^0-9]/);
if (reg.test("Abcd")){
//expression passed
}
Set focus on filed
xfa.host.setFocus(this);
Populate Alert Message Box
xfa.host.messageBox("Helloo");
Set ToolTip of control
this.assist.toolTip.value = "toolTip text";
Set height of Sub-Form
var b = parseFloat(sfrmName.h) + 5;
if (b < 0) {
b = 0;
}
sfrmName.h = b + "mm";
Date and Time format handling
if you are using text field, write use below java script
var curDate = new Date();
var strDate = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy HH:MM:ss", curDate);
if you are using
DateTime adobe field you can directly give pattern to field.
Select DateTime Filed --> Go to property window --> click on Pattern button --> Select accordingly
Note:
mmmm |
Month Name |
HH |
24 hour time, leading 0 |
mmm |
Abbreviated Month Name |
H |
24 hour time |
mm |
Numeric Month, leading 0 |
hh |
12 hour time, leading 0 |
m |
Numeric Month |
h |
12 hour time |
dddd |
Day of Week Name |
MM |
Minutes, leading 0 |
ddd |
Abbreviated Day Name |
M |
Minutes |
dd |
Day of Month, leading 0 |
ss |
Seconds, leading 0 |
d |
Day of Month |
s |
Seconds |
yyyy |
Year, 4 digits |
tt |
am/pm indication |
yy |
Year, 2 digits |
t |
am/pm, single character(a/p) |
Play with Uppercase and Lowercase
this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toUpperCase(); "on initialize event convert to uppercase
this.rawValue = this.rawValue.toLowerCase(); "on initialize event convert to lowercase
//Using Interactive Scenario (Automatic live case conversion)
xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toUpperCase(); "on change event convert to uppercase
xfa.event.change = xfa.event.change.toLowerCase(); "on change event convert to lowercase
Boolean function
var check = Boolean(10 > 9); "returns True
var check = (10 > 9); "returns True
var check = 10 > 9; "returns True
Font customization (control/caption)
this.font.typeface = "Courier"; //font family (font name)
this.font.size = "30pt"; //font size
this.font.weight = "bold"; //font weight (bold | normal)
this.font.posture = "italic"; //font style (italic | normal)
this.fontColor = "0,0,0"; //font color (RR,GG,BB)
this.fillColor = "153,153,153"; //control background color (RR,GG,BB)
this.font.baselineShift = "10px"; //shift font up/down (10/-10)
//for caption you can you below,
this.caption.font.fill.color.value = "255,255,255";
//most other properties are same, ex this.caption.font.*
Cancel Printing
data::prePrint - (JavaScript, client)
xfa.event.cancelAction = 1;
HTML Rich Text Rendering
var envelope = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>" +
"<exData contentType='text/html' xmlns='http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/'" +
"><body xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' xmlns:xfa='http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/' " +
"xfa:APIVersion='Acroform:2.7.0.0' xfa:spec='2.1'>" +
"<p>"+ this.rawValue +"</p></body></exData>";
this.value.exData.loadXML(envelope,1,1);
//Note: use on docClose event and load pdf dynamically.

A lot more to explore, will share with you soon.
