Destroys (or deletes) specified elements from a form, including box, button, check, combobox, field, labels, line, list, pages, popup, radio, and spacer.

Copies a specified form element, places the copy in a designated location, and assigns it a new name. Computes in duplicate elements are evaluated immediately. A form node refers to a uniquely identifiable portion of a form, such as the form itself, a page, an item, an option or an array element. ...

a name"wp1044981" span translate'0' The simple character content of options and suboptions are obtained as the operands of XFDL compute expressions using XFDL references. XFDL references support forward and backward referencing. An XFDL reference can refer to any option or array element ...

Returns a reference for the element that contains the call. The function works as a "Where am I?" check for a page, item, or option. It is always called from within the element for which the reference is needed, but the returned reference can be for that element or any of its parents.

Specifies whether an item is active or inactive. Inactive items do not respond to user input and, if possible, appear dimmed. For example, an inactive check box will be dimmed and the user will not be able to select or deselect the box.

Specifies whether an item, page, or form is currently activated by the user or not. This option is usually set by an external program such as a parser, but under certain circumstances can be set by computes in the form.

Identifies the last item on the page, excluding the global item.

Identifies the item to receive focus when a user tabs backwards from the current item by pressing Shift + Tab.

Specifies which types of items filtered for a particular signature.

Specifies an item's size. It does not include external labels, borders, or scroll bars. These are part of the bounding box size which is calculated automatically.

Since the guiding principle of signatures is that "you sign what you see", a scenario in which visual items are hidden or significantly overlapped cannot be allowed. If the signer cannot see elements of the form, then the signature cannot be considered valid.

Defines whether or not the item is visible on the screen and can be printed.

Specifies types of items that are filtered for a particular transmission.

The table of items and globals lists the available options for each item type.

Dynamically changes the height of a field to fit the text entered by a user. The height of the field can be measured in either pixels or characters.
