Hi,
This is for LiveCycle Designer 8. I have a text field configured as a "comb 7," seven characters. I have to set it up so that the first letter shows as a fixed letter "P" and the remainng six characters would be the values entered by the user. It would appear like this: P123456
I could not find a way to do it in the LiveCycle Designer. Thank you
fixed character

Unfortunately you can't use the picture clause on this one. That's the string that entered into the Display field on Designer's Object tab.
Here's a "Change" event script that will do it.
Make the field a Text Field, NOT a Number field. Set it's default value to "P" and then enter this script into the JavaScript "Change" Event for the field.
Let me know how this works for you.
Here's a "Change" event script that will do it.
if(xfa.event.fullText == "")xfa.event.change = 'P';else if(!( /^P\d{0,6}$/.test(xfa.event.fullText) )){xfa.event.selEnd = xfa.event.selStart;xfa.event.change = "";}
Let me know how this works for you.
