how to hide all buttons

[sebastianb99835257]

Hi All,

With a button click I am making my form read only and attaching it to an email.

The only thing is I want to be able to hide all of the JavaScript buttons on the page.

I am aware of the this way to hide buttons:

this.getField("Email_Button").display = 1;

The problem is I am using spawn pages and thus its hard to use the above bit of code to hide all potential buttons.

Is there a bit of code that can select all buttons or cycle through all buttons on my pdf and hide them?

Cheers,
Seb.

Yes. You can use this code to do it:

for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
    var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
    if (f==null) continue;
    if (f.type=="button") f.display = display.hidden;
}

Thanks try that works great.

One other question is there a way to test button/field visibility in an if statement.. something like this:

if( getField("Button_Name").display = 1) {

     //Do Something

} else {

     //Do Something Else

}

Cheers,

Seb.

Yes, but the comparison operation is "==", not "=". That's the value assignment operator... It's a common mistake.
