The good news is that you can multi-select fields to place in the object, and multi-select fields in the set state object so it is pretty easy to do. Don't make groups read-only, make the fields in them read-only. <a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/">Workflow software, </a><a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/">Process software, </a><a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/">Procedure software</a> mfeeney on "Set Read-Only State on Page Objects" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/set-read-only-state-on-page-objects#post-2318 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 14:05:31 +0000 mfeeney 2318@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ I am trying to set a multi-page form to Read Only if it is not accessed through the login page. I used the Set State command, and then select the six pages and set them to Read-Only. I have a message field on the same path and that is working so I am sure it is getting to the Set State command. However, the fields in the pages are still editable. Dennis @ PerfectForms on "Image Import Error" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/image-import-error#post-2103 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 15:22:26 +0000 Dennis @ PerfectForms 2103@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ The image import object only works with Internet Explorer. There is another method of bringing an image into an instance that works with all browsers. The behavior involves using a file attachment object. When the object changes data, use a set property behavior object to change the property of a picture object to the value of the attachment object. ptyrrell on "Image Import Error" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/image-import-error#post-2100 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 12:41:48 +0000 ptyrrell 2100@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop. I'm using Google Chrome as my browser. I have created a new form with a few heading fields, then added 1 Image Import object; saved the form; published the form; then created a new instance. Firstly, the "Acquire" button doesn't show, I have to click on the down arrow under the left-hand bottom corner of the Image box to get the button to show. The file selection dialog box pops and I select an image file. The file dialog closes and I get a small pop-up dialog with a heading of "The page at app.perf" then in the dialog box body there is the triangle with an exclamation mark in it with the text next to it reading "Error:undefined". There is an OK button to click on to close the pop-up. I have a screenshot if you want me to send it to you.

I suggest using image assets to accomplish what you have described.

By default the value of %1% is supplied. Can you please tell me if there are other syntax or values that I can place as the progress bar label? For example, is it possible to work out what the Page x of y would be?

My intention is that I don't want to create plenty of pages as I got more than 10 forms. It also reduces the interactivity of users because it will cause a postback when navigating to other page. Iframe is not a good solution either. But not to worry. I have found a cause of the problem and established a workaround. It turns out that document.write caused this problem. So I just output the <object> tag straight away to the page depending on parameters I put in the code behind. It raises another question though: 1. The ExternalCall function can be used to populate form values correct? I can't see how to do this (the documentation is not clear and there is no sample). Can you please show me a sample? 2. I can perform some code after submit button is clicked (such as printing/emailing pdf, writing to database) correct? The idea is that I want users to be able to complete incomplete forms, and track all the forms they had deal with. (these are public users, not perfectforms users - therefore I have to integrate it with my application) Does it give us those flexibility? Thanks, Andreas ijobling on "script call from code behind" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/script-call-from-code-behind#post-716 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:52:03 +0000 ijobling 716@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ slightly confused to be honest to your intentions here. You would look to embed a form when you wanted that form to present to the users as they visted your page. Where here it seems you want to have a button (or drop down later) that users click/select and then that is to present them a form, then embedding doesn't come into this, nor the util.js All you should need under your 'button' is the link to the actual form and that then opens the form for them. No reason though why you couldn't set up a number of pages in your website and embed each of the forms to these pages and then your button/drop down is simply sending them to that webpage for them to see the form nevrene on "script call from code behind" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/script-call-from-code-behind#post-713 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 09:52:00 +0000 nevrene 713@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ Hi, I tried to embed the forms to my .net site. Basically I want the form script to depend on the button click. I registered your utils.js on top of the aspx page. Then on my aspx page, I added: <asp:updatepanel runat="server" id="updatepanel" > <contenttemplate> <asp:button runat="server" id="button"></asp:button> <asp:literal runat="server" id="formliteral"></asp:literal> </contenttemplate> </asp:updatepanel> code-behind: Public Sub button_click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button.click Dim script As String = " <script type=""text/javascript"">pf_embed(""http://app.perfectforms.com/player.aspx"", ""flexApplicationLTIxNDc0NjYwNjc="", ""f=tFRgAgWE"", ""654"", ""470"", ""window""); </script>" ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(formliteral, formliteral.GetType(), script,False) formliteral.text= script End Sub The form doesn't show up when the button is clicked - although no JS error shown. Do you know how to fix this? The idea is that I want to replace the button with dropdownlist, and show the correct form when a form is selected.

By default the title displayed is the name of the form. I would like to display my own title.
