Show/hide layer conditional to checkbox and Text Field

[sophiemess]

Hi, I'm currently using that code to show a layer named PA40. If the box is checked, it will show the layer, if it's not, the layer will close.

var layerName = "PA40";

var layers = this.getOCGs(0&&1);

if (layers!=null && layers.length!=0) {

for (var i in layers) {

if (layers.name==layerName) {

layers.state = !layers.state;

break;

}

}

}

I now wish to use that checkbox to make another thing: if the checkbox PA40 and the Text Field named PIED is 18 or higer, it will show the layer named PA4, and if the Text Field named PIED is lower then 18, it will show the layer PA4L.

I'm a total noob in Javascript.

Thanks a lot

First of all, what's this line supposed to be?

var layers = this.getOCGs(0&&1);

If you're trying to get the OCGs from pages 0 and 1 like that, that's not how it's done.

Change it to:

var layers = this.getOCGs(0).concat(this.getOCGs(1));

Thanks, I changed it to this below and it still doesn't work.

var layerName = "PA40";

var layers = this.getOCGs(0).concat(this.getOCGs(1));

if (layers!=null && layers.length!=0) {

for (var i in layers) {

if (layers.name==layerName) {

layers.state = !layers.state;

break;

}

}

}

Been able to make it work by writing the code two times, one with ) and one with 1.

For my questions I was wondering if it would be easier to make a textfield appear instead of a layer, since I only have one item on it.

Thanks a lot

Yes, fields are much easier to work with than layers.

[sophiemess]

So is it possible to make a field written 123456 if PA40 is checked and PIED is 18 or over?

[try67]

Sure. What should it be otherwise, though?

[sophiemess]

Sorry I might not be clear enough (or my English is terrible). I'm working on a PDF that will make a drawing of a pole and a certain piece number has to be different depending on the height of the pole.

If I check the box PA40, and the number in the field PIED is lower then 18 (event.value < 18), a text field written 123456 will appear.

If I check the box PA40, and the number in the field PIED is 18 or higher (event.value >= 18), a text field written 789456 will appear.

[try67]

My question was: What should be the value of this text field when PA40 is not checked?

[sophiemess]

If the box is not checked the box will be empty or not visible. They have to check the box and enter a dimension.

I now wish to use that checkbox to make another thing: if the checkbox PA40 and the Text Field named PIED is 18 or higer, it will show the layer named PA4, and if the Text Field named PIED is lower then 18, it will show the layer PA4L.

Place this script in the checkbox:

if (event.target.value != "Off") && (this.getField("PIED").value >= 18) {

    var ocgArray1 = this.getOCGs();

    for (var i=0; i < ocgArray1.length; i++) {

        if (ocgArray1.name == "PA4") {ocgArray1.state = true;}

        if (ocgArray1.name == "PA4L") {ocgArray1.state = false;}

    }

}

else if (event.target.value != "Off") && (this.getField("PIED").value < 18) {

    var ocgArray1 = this.getOCGs();

    for (var i=0; i < ocgArray1.length; i++) {

        if (ocgArray1.name == "PA4") {ocgArray1.state = false;}

        if (ocgArray1.name == "PA4L") {ocgArray1.state = true;}

    }

}

else {

    var ocgArray1 = this.getOCGs();

    for (var i=0; i < ocgArray1.length; i++) {

        if (ocgArray1.name == "PA4") {ocgArray1.state = false;

      if (ocgArray1.name == "PA4L") {ocgArray1.state = false;

     }

}

I enter the code JR_Boulay and it doesn't work. I put it in a JavaScript tester and there are errors (something about identifier and operators).

[try67]

You need to decide, are you using a layer or a field?

[sophiemess]

I think a field would be easier to handle since I already have like 20 layers (and would need to create like 10 more).

[try67]

OK, I think that's a wish choice. You can use this code as the custom calculation script of your text field, then:

var v1 = this.getField("PA40").valueAsString;
var v2 = Number(this.getField("PIED").valueAsString);
if (v1=="Off") event.value = "";
else {
    if (v2<18) event.value = "123456";
    else event.value = "789456";
}

This works perfectly!! Thanks a lot guys, you deserve a box of cookies!!

Beware that an OCG state is not saved with the document and revert to default each time the document is closed.

Why is that when I try this code nothing works.  I need to show or hade a layer I created using a check box.
