FormGuideRenderSpec

A complex data type that stores run-time options that specify how the Forms service renders form guides. FormGuideRenderSpec variables are used to the configure Form Guide Render Options property of the renderFormGuide operation operation in the Forms service.

In LiveCycle ES version 8 and earlier, this data type was called ActivityGuideRenderSpec.

This data type is useful only when you are using the renderFormGuide operation with a form design and embedded guide created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2. Form designs created using LiveCycle Designer 9 cannot be used with the renderFormGuide operation.

For information about data that can be accessed using Xpath Expressions, see Data items .

For information about configuring default properties, see Datatype specific settings .

Data items

The data items that FormGuideRenderSpec variables contain.

CB

A boolean value that determines whether the Forms service generates a form guide with an HTML template. An HTML template is a HTML code that launches the form guide. A value of true indicates to generate an HTML template with the form guide and false indicates not to generate the HTML template with the form guide.

guideAccessible

A boolean value that indicates whether the form guide is accessible. A value of true indicates the form guide is created to be accessible and false indicates that it is not.

guideCBURL

A string value that represents the URL for a custom override implementation of the callback servlet.

guideName

A string value that represents the name of the guide within the generated form guide.

guidePDF

A boolean value that determines whether the output is rendered in the form guide and PDF form. A value of true indicates that both the form guide and PDF form are rendered and false indicates that only the form guide is rendered.

guideRSL

A boolean value that determines whether to use run-time shared libraries when compiling a form guide. A value of true indicates that shared libraries are used and false indicates they are not used.

guideStyle

A string value that represents the name of the style sheet that the form guide uses. The style sheet is also embedded in the form guide. The application container contains the style sheet, or the style sheet can be referenced.

guideSubmitAll

A boolean value that determines whether the form guide submits all data including hidden panels. A value of true indicates that all data is submitted and false indicates that all data is submitted except for data from hidden panels.

ifModifiedSince

For internal use only.

injectFormBridge

A boolean value that determines whether the Forms service inserts special JavaScript™ code into a PDF form. The JavaScript code performs operations on a PDF form when the form guide is rendered. A value of true indicates that the Forms service inserts the JavaScript code and false indicates that it does not.

locale

A string value that represents the locale used by the Forms service for sending validation messages to client devices. For a complete list of supported locale codes, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/locale.doc.html .

Datatype specific settings

Properties for configuring the form guide that the variable represents.

If Modified Since

For internal use only.

Guide Name

Sets the name of the guide from the form design. You can create more than one guide for each form design. The first guide is used if no value is provided.

Guide RSL

Sets whether to use shared run-time libraries for compiling a form guide. The default value is False. Select one of these values:

False:
Do not use the shared run-time libraries.

True:
Use the shared run-time libraries.

Guide PDF

Sets whether the PDF form is rendered with the form guide. The default value is True. Select one of these values:

True:
Render a PDF form with the form guide.

False:
Do not render a PDF form with the form guide.

Guide Accessible

Sets whether the form guide compilation is accessible. The default value is False. Select one of these values:

False:
The form guide compilation is not accessible.

True:
The form guide compilation is accessible.

Guide CB Url

Sets the location for a custom override implementation of the callback servlet. The value must be a valid URL expressed as a string value.

Locale

Sets the language used to send validation messages to client applications, such as web browsers, when a form guide is rendered. The default value is <Use Server Default>. Select a language from the list or one of these values.

<Use Server Default>:
Use the Locale setting configured on the LiveCycle server. The Locale setting is configured in LiveCycle Administration Console. (See LiveCycle ES2.5 Administration Help .)

<Use Custom Value>:
Use a locale that is not available in the list. After selecting this option, in the text box beside the list, type the Locale ID of the locale code to use. For a complete list of supported locale codes, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/locale.doc.html.

Cb

Sets whether the Forms service generates a form guide with an HTML template. An HTML template is a HTML code that launches the form guide. The default value is False. Select one of these values:

False:
The form guide is provided with an HTML template.

True:
Only the form guide is provided.

Guide Style

Sets the name of the cascading style sheet (CSS), such as CobaltBar.css, that the form guide layout uses to provide a customized appearance. For example, can use the following CSS files that you can also export from Designer. (See Customizing Form Guides Using Flex Builder and the Customizing Form Guides using CSS: Missing in action blog entry.)

Guide Submit All

For example, in your form guide, you can choose to only expose a subset of fields to a user. For example, you can choose to hide some of the values in a hidden panel. Regardless of whether the user modifies the fields, you want all the data submitted, including the data in the hidden panels. The default value is False. Select one of these values:

False:
Does not submit all data. Only the data modified by the user is submitted.

True:
Submits all data, including hidden panels.

Inject Form Bridge

Sets whether special JavaScript code is inserted in the form design. The JavaScript code permits the rendered form guide to be used in Workspace. The default value is False. Select one of these values:

False:
Does not enable the PDF form for use in Workspace.

True:
Enables the PDF form for use in Workspace.
