How to call a text input's onChange action manually

Posted on by ashtfg

Hi Experts,

I have a gallery, from which i am doing a total on a text input. This works fine by itself. However i am to call the onChange action on this text input so that a set of instructions are called manually. The functionality on the OnChange actually takes the amount in the text input and displays it in words in another label. This works perfectly if the text input it edited, however i would like to load the lines in the gallery and make the total read only and fire the onChange from maybe the form OnVisible so that the label with the words gets printed.

Is this possible or is there another work around ?

Thank you all in advance 🙂

Regards,

Ash

This is a bit of a cheeky reply because I'm not sure I can help but I am interested in how you've converted numbers to text.

@ashtfg Are you calculating this total in the TextBox manually or does it get calculated automatically based on the values in the Gallery?

@ashtfg The OnChange() property will fire only when a change is made and the user navigates away from the control, say clicks outside the TextInput.
Rather than doing this in the OnChange(), you can do this calculation in the same place where the other calculation is done and set it to a variable and then set the variable in the Text property of the Label.

While i try this i realise that one of my posts was still pending moderation since i updated it. You asked me for the code and i have attached it here. Btw this is a newer version the labels are on visible hidden since they werent working correctly.
