I have a window, containing some fill-in fields. One of them is meant to contain a date, having 99/99/9999 as a format. Due to that format, when emptying the field (selecting the content and press the DEL button), I see "__/__/____" on screen (the underscores mean spaces).
In order to check if this fill-in field is empty, currently the source code does this as follows:
IF Date_Fill-In:SCREEN-VALUE <> "/ /"
As you can see, this is heavily dependent on the format of the fill-in field.
Is there a built-in function I can use to check if the screen-value of a fill-in field is empty, without needing to check the format?
Thanks in advance

Check for the INPUT-VALUE property returning ?.

I have a 54 pages PDF file. In this PDF, I have some fields like Full Name, the Phone number, etc that repeats more than 10 times. How can do like When I enter Full name one time and all of the remaining full name fields can be filled automatically using Adobe Acrobat?
I hope I asked my question clearly. Thank you for your time and help.
The easiest is, when all properties of the field (font type, size, color, etc.) are the same, to simply copy the field to the other pages.
The field value is a so-called field level property, which will be the same for all instances of the field.
If you want to have only one place where the value can be entered, and the dependent fields should be read-only, you would have to have a different name for the entry field and display fields. In the entry field, you would then add the following line of code in either the Format or onBlur event:
this.getField("myDisplayFields").value = event.value ;
And that should push the value from the entry field to all fields named myDisplayFields.
And that's it…
I'm brand new to Power BI and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I would expect a "date/time" field would have special options for filtering. However, the filter actually lists a dropdown of all values ("2015-09-24 12:00:01", "2015-09-24 12:00:02", "2015-09-24 12:00:03", etc).
How can I filter by "last year" or "last 7 days"? Am I missing something simple?
I have tried in the web interface and Desktop.
You need to set the field's data type to Date/Time. If you're seeing strings, the most common issue is that in the query the field is defined as type "any", which gets interpreted as a string. So just go to the query window, change the data type for the affected columns, and see what happens. One little hint, is that usually after you use a function or transform (especially Add Column!) the resulting column will have the "any" data type. So double check and set the data type you really want.
In a Drupal content type a need to get the output of a field partly unvisible. These are bank account details, the IBAN.
Normally the field shows 1234567. I need to get xxxx567. I need to show only the last 3 numbers/letters.
Also I need this output in field edit form.
On the display end you could change the output using a simple PHP function in the theme template by grabbing a substring of the field's last three digits and concatenating it with "xxxx" before printing.
You might also consider doing this at the formatter level by using the 'custom formatter' module perhaps?
https://drupal.org/project/custom_formatters
To do this on the edit screen is trickier. I suppose you could do a hook form alter to use PHP to change the field value, but I am afraid you will rewrite the field value when you save the node with the 'xxxx' instead of the real data.
I wonder if it would make sense to 1.) hide the actual field, 2.) create a dummy field that displays the text formatted as "xxxx567" to the user, and 3.) write some javascript that populates the hidden field with the visible field's value if it is changed. Presumably the form would still throw values if the hidden field did not meet formatting requirements.
I think I may have found an interesting bug with AX 2009, and I'm unsure of how I can proceed.
I am attempting to write a new report, and one of the conditions of this report is to be filtered based on the Posting field of the LedgerTrans table. However, it seems that when the report goes to execute, the label of the enum Purchase, receipt is parsed without regard to the quotes. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but the enum label in this case contains a comma. The result is that when run the query dialog box reads: Purchase, consumption, __ILLEGAL_VALUE__. I get this result even if I use the enum value or name. The report must be left interactive, but this field must be locked, so we cannot get the users to adjust the query at run time.
At this point I don't want to change the label itself, but if it is the only way to solve this I will. Has anyone else run into this, or know how we could overcome it?
I've run into this before. Sometimes an acceptable option is hard-coding the conditional values as an OR statement, rather than the comma separated list:
((LedgerTrans.Posting == LedgerPostingType::PurchReceipt) || (LedgerTrans.Posting == LedgerPostingType::PurchConsump))
That can be typed into a range filter box, or can be set as the value of a range via x++ code:
ledgerPostingRange.value("((LedgerTrans.Posting == LedgerPostingType::PurchReceipt) ||
(LedgerTrans.Posting == LedgerPostingType::PurchConsump))");
AX doesn't try to convert these to the labels, so they stay as distinct values, instead of being rendered as labels. Note that parentheses are required for it to be parsed properly.
Since the ILLEGAL_VALUE can appear even when attempting to use a single value that contains a comma in its label, the same can be done for a single :
ledgerPostingRange.value("(LedgerTrans.Posting == LedgerPostingType::PurchReceipt)");
I would definitely change the label! But as a workaround you could use the enum value's number instead.
If the field is often queried, you could put the field in a dialog then change the query:
ledgerPostingRange.value(ledgerPostingType ? int2str(ledgerPostingType) : '');
I am using an mx:DateField in Flex and it works nice with the date picker, but I also need it to be editable, so i set editable="true".
The problem is that now the user can enter anything they want - even though I have a formatString="YYYY-MM-DD" set. The date picker honors this format, but if the user enters in the format MM/DD/YYYY they can - or they can even enter garbage data.
I realize I can set up a data validator to check that it is a valid date and in the appropriate format as per the flex docs, but I was hoping to have something I have seen in other languages where the text field would show something like "0000-00-00" and the user clicks in to the field and it allows them to change only the digits (the zeros) and can not type any alpha characters or add/remove any length.
Any ideas?
Try to use masked text input for that.
Personally, I wouldn't use a DateField. I would create a custom component that has 3 separate TextInputs, one for each year, month and day, and have a DateChooser on the right side if the user wants to pick the date manually.
You'll have to add logic to have the focus bounce from one textinput to the next. You can even make them look like they're in the same component with dashes in between. The user thinks it's just one component, but it's actually a composite component.
Anywho, just my 2 cents. I've done it before with good results.
