Dynamic table row number

The row number is the same as the instance, or index, number for the repeated subform. Use this code in a text box inside the repeated subform to get the row number.
this.rawValue = this.parent.index + 1;
if "this" is a pointer to the text box, then "parent" is a pointer to the subform that contains the text box and "index" is the instance number for that subform. The instance number is zero based, so add one to make the row number.

This code needs to be placed on an event that is called whenever the parent subform index changes. Then is an index change event, but it is unreliable in some situations. A better choice is the "layoutReady" event.

Thanks Thomp! It works perfectly well!

Thomp,

I would like to learn more about "resolvenode". Where can I find a good material about this topic? I have seen many examples and don't quite understand. Sometimes they use a full path, some time they have"[*]" in the path,...

Thanks for your guideline.

There are serveral LiveCycle scripting documents here:

You're interested in the "Scripting Object Model Reference". It's the last one on the page. The SOM is the input to both the resolveNode() and resolveNodes() fucntions, as well as several others. It's a bit cryptic, but every thing you need to know is there.
