Help request

Is it allowed to ask some help?

I am a beginner in .pdf programming and can't solve some issues.
1) On a page I have 20 textfields named Output_01, Output_02 etc. and 1 textfield named TotalOutput.
The output_01.. fields al display the word 'Juist' or 'Fout'.
In the textfield TotalOutput I want to see how many times the word 'Juist' is displayed in the textfields
Output_01 untill Output_20. The outcom must /2, so there will be displayed just a figure between 0 and 10.
Any help?

Do you know any Acrobat JavaScript?  Have you tried writing your own script? You mentioned about that you can't solve some issues. 

What have you tried?

[Piet Vander]

Well I made 20 questions with each question a choicebox.
I made 1 page with a tabel in wich you see which choice you made at every question

and that choice is 'translated' to 'good' or 'wrong' in that table. So far I could program this.
I also programmed that on mousemovement the right answer with explanation shows up.

Now I need to calculate the in those output boxes mentioned time of the word 'good' / 2
this box needs to display a figure.
Later I want another textbox wich colors green if that figure is 7 or > with the text 'Congrats'
or color red if he figure is <7 with text 'Sorry, you failed'

Sorry for my bad English

You can use this code as the custom calculation script of your total field:

var counter = 0;
for (var i=1; i<=20; i++) {
	var fname = (i<10) ? "Output_0"+i : "Output_"+i;
	var f = this.getField(fname);
	if (f.valueAsString=="Juist") counter++;
}
event.value = counter/2;

Hi try 67,

Tried it, but get a syntax error: invalid increment operand
2: on line 3

var fname = (i<10) ? "Output_0"+i : "Output_"+i;

Do I have to specify here all Output_ 01 - 20?

[try67]

There are no syntax errors in the code I sent. Did you edit it in any way?

[Piet Vander]

Oeps, I think I didn't do that............ (also difficult for me).

I now edit like this:
var counter = 0;
for (var i=1; i<=20; 1++ {
var Output_01 = (i<10) ? "Output_01"+i : "Output_"+i;
var f = this.getfield (TotalOutputFld)
if (f.valueAsString=="Juist") counter++;
}
event.value = counter/2;

but still has that syntax error.
The textfields that needs to be calculated are named Output_01, Outpud_02, Output_03 until Output_20
Something I must do wrong 😉

1++ is not possible

Why have you changed i++ to 1++ ?

[try67]

Why did you change the code I gave you? It should be used as-is.

[Piet Vander]

Oeps,

I am sorry. I thought you meant I had to edit it.

Will reset it tomorrow and change the mistake I typed 1++ to i++.
Will let you know!

[Bernd Alheit]

You don't need type the code. You can copy and paste the code.

[Piet Vander]

if working on the same computer it would be easy, yes 😉

Hi try67,

Many many thanks for your help. I was looking quit a time for this code: it works fine!
Can I ask another question please?

In textfield [txtResult_1] I like to display 'Congrats, you passed' if the figure I get with your code in the
textfield [TotalFld.value] is >7 (equal or higer to 7), the field may color green as well.
If the figure is <7 I like to display 'Sorry, you failed', the field may color red than.

Can you please help me with that code as well?

Many, many thanks for all!

[try67]

You can do that by adding this to the end of the current code:

var f = this.getField("txtResult_1");
if (event.value>=7) {
f.fillColor = color.green;
f.value = "Congrats, you passed";
} else {
f.fillColor = color.red;
f.value = "Sorry, you failed";
}

[Piet Vander]

Hi try67,
thanks for all the help so far. Lot of hings work now at least, due to yoyr help: great!

Your last code is not listening to me, so what do I do wrong"
var f = this.getField("txtResult_1");
if (event.value>=7) {
f.fillColor = color.green;
f.value = "Gefeliciteerd, je bent geslaagd";
} else {
f.fillColor = color.red;
f.value = "Helaas, je bent niet geslaagd";
}
The only thing I edit is the text from English to Dutch.

I placed the code here:

15 is total 'Juist"

'8' is "Total_Juist' /2
In TxtResult_1 we should read now: 'Gefeliciteerd, u bent geslaags' Figure is >  7 and the field should be green. The text displayed belongs to a figure < 7 and the field should be red.
The field shows up in blue, if I selct it with the mouse, it turns red.

What do i do wrong?

Thanks for your help again

With kind regards,

[Piet Vander]

Forgot this 1:

 

[try67]

You were supposed to add the new code after the old one, not replace it.

And turn off the Fields Highlighting to make the fill color visible.

[Piet Vander]

Ok, thanks, but don't get that, sorry.
The textbox that has to display the text and color is an new textbox, was there already a code in it?
May be I think to analogue?

May be ebst to do is delete textfield [Textresult_1] and make a brand new textfield?
I tried to delete the fielss highlightning, but that didn't respond.

Another thing: [TotalFld.value] is [TotalJuist] /2. It now displays 15 good is figure 8. Officially it's
7.5, but I would down that to 7, not up it to 8. Is that difficult to manage?

[Piet Vander]

OK try67,

Forget my last post. Understand now what you meant. The code to display in TxtResult_1 has to be written in
TotalFld.value, wow. Thanks so far it is working, except the coloring. Will check that in reader instead of DC.

Is there a code after event.value = counter/2; that counts downwards wenn the figure is x,5, so 6,5 is 6 not 7 etc?  I now see a total "Juist" of 13, which displays the figure 7 (and the output text is "Sory, you failed"
which is correct, but should be with the figure 7 "Congrats, You passed").

Well it's amazing how far you helped me, thanks a lot!

[try67]

Change:

event.value = counter/2;

To:

event.value = Math.floor(counter/2);

[Piet Vander]

Thanks 4all try67,

All these codes I couldn't find or couldn't understand.
Only coloring doesn't work, only after I touch the field with the mouse.

In the Text field properties under appearance I didn't fill any color to fill the field with. I see the color is filled red (occasionally green). I only gave a color for the text.
Any thoughts?
Again many thanks for willing to help!

[Piet Vander]

After I checked the box read only on the tab general on text field properties, it works very very good!
So I thnik my ' problems' are solved.
many many thanks4all!
