reset a row

Form fields are grouped by how they are named.

For example, prefix all the field names in the first row with "Row1", so the names look like this.

Row1.Text1, Row1.Text2, Row1.DropDown3, Row1.Check4, etc.

Now all the fields in Row1 are grouped as "Row1" and are reset by referring to the group name.

this.resetForm(["Row1"]);

The grouping can be extended to multiple levels. So the entire table is grouped by prefixing all the field in the table with the same name. For Examples


Table1.Row1.Text1, Table1.Row1.Text2, Table1.Row1.DropDown3, Table1.Row1.Check4, etc.
Table1.Row2.Text1, Table1.Row2.Text2, Table1.Row2.DropDown3, Table1.Row2.Check4, etc.

// Reset Row 2
this.resetForm(["Table1.Row1"]);

// Reset the entire table
this.resetForm(["Table1"]);

If you used hierarchical field names for the items in the columns then you only need use the high level column names in the 'resetForm()' array parameter list.

If you had columns with 'ItemID', 'Description', 'Price', 'Quantity', and 'Cost' and used the place multiple fields for creating the rows, then the first row would consist of 'ItemID.0', 'Description.0', 'Price.0', 'Quantity.0', and 'Cost.0'. Each row's field names would be incremented by 1. You could then clear only the array of fields with

this.resetForm(['ItemID', 'Description', 'Price', 'Quantity', 'Cost']);

thanx for answer i tried to put the code you teached me but it gives me always errors
what i have in my form is a few entries: name, company, country e-mail, then i have 5 columns to fill: our code, original code, description, quantity and price.
on top of each column i have the name of column.
below you can see what i've done until now......
do you think is useful if i send to you the original form?


if( app.alert({
cMsg: "This action will reset the form! " + "\n" + "\n" + "Do you want to continue?",
cTitle: "Reset Form Warning",
nIcon: 2,
nType: 2
}) == 4)
{
var fields = new Array();
fields[0] = "mister";
fields[1] = "company";
fields[2] = "country";
fields[3] = "mail";
fields[4] = "Qnty";
fields[5] = "date";
fields[6] = "drop";
fields[7] = "Description";
this.resetForm(fields);
}

Exactly, including all text and numbers, what is the error message you are getting?

The error message will contain reference to a line number, action, field etc but you may think this is meaningless text. It is not!

Make sure you capitalization and spelling for all field names is correct.
