Once a dropdown is set to readonly I need a button to be hidden, how can I do this?

[billyc35864548]

I have tried everything and can't get it to work. Here is one that I tried:

var HourField = this.getfield("Hours");

if (HourField.readonly == true){

  this.getfield("Submit Button").display = display.hidden;

}else{

  this.getfield("Submit Button").display = display.noPrint;

}

This code looks fine... Where exactly did you place it, though?

Also, do you see any error messages in the JS console when you run it?

Correction, I've spotted an error. The name of the function is "getField", not "getfield".

If you check the JS console then you should see an error message that says something like getfield is not a known function...

Thank you for the quick response! I had placed it in the custom calculation script, under the Calculate tab. I will try your correction and get back with you.

It doesn't work when I set the field to read only by signing the document. (The signature sets the Hours dropdown menu to "readonly" and is supposed to make the submit button hidden).

But it probably doesn't trigger the calculation script... Why not simply

add it to the Signed event of the signature field?

Thank you for the answer, I just added this to my signed script as you suggested:

//Sets everything as read only

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {

    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));

    if (f==null) continue;

    f.readonly = true;

}

//Sets my Submit Button as hidden

this.getField("SubmitButton").display = display.hidden;

// Make a few fields read/write again after the "Nuke all" code above made everything readonly

this.getField("TrainingReportUpdated").readonly = false;

this.getField("PCard").readonly = false;
