Resetting / Clearing Text Input values from Barcode Scanner after submitting

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have an inventory application that takes advantage of the Barcode Scanner. I scan the Location Barcode tag and that value is input into a text input control and then I scan the SKU Barcode Tag and that value is input into another text input control. Then I have label that looks up the Barcode and retrieves the actual SKU Number it is associated with. There are two more inputs below all of this for Cases and Eaches.

The cases input and eaches input clear their values upon pressing submit.

Reset(inputCases); Reset(inputEaches)

However: The below do not reset and the values stay after pressing submit.

Reset(barcodeSKU); Reset(barcodeLocation); Reset(inputSKU)

I even tried resetting their values through the Reset Property and using submitCountButton.Pressed but that did not work either.

Any ideas?

All help is appreciated

**************************EDIT***************************

The issue I am having is with the values from the barcode scanner being reset after the submit button is pressed. My other text inputs reset just fine, however the barcode scanner values do not.

Hello,
Select the textbox which you want to reset the values. Now go to Advanced and set the 'Reset' property value to resetinputcase
Now onselect of submitCountButton write the below code.

UpdateContext({resetinputcase:true});UpdateContext({resetinputcase:false})

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Prajyot M.

The values are still hanging in there.

I changed the reset property on the Text input Box for the barcode location scanner value to resetbarcodelocation.

Then in my OnSelect for the button I did UpdateContext({resetbarcodelocation:true}).

The value is still in the barcode location text box.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Could you please share a bit more about your issue?

Do you mean that the barcode scanned value (within Text Input box) from the Barcode control could not be reset (the Barcode Scanner control could not reset)?

Further, have you set the Default property of the Text Input box (e.g. barcodeLocation, barcodeSKU) to the BarcodeScanner1.Value formula?

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test, and the issue is confirmed on my side. The Reset() function could not reset the barcode scanned value (within Text Input box) from the Barcode control.

I think this issue is related to the Default property of the Text Input box. If you set the Default proeprty of the Text Input box (e.g. barcodeLocation, barcodeSKU) to the BarcodeScanner1.Value formula, it would display the scanned barcode value as Default value within the Text Input box.

The Reset function could only reset the Text Input box to default value rather than clear the value within the Text Input box. If the Barcode Scanner control is not reset, the Text Input box (e.g. barcodeLocation, barcodeSKU) would still display the scanned barcode value as the Default value within the Text Input box.

As an alternative solution, please consider reset the Barcode Scanner control after submitting rather than Reset the Text Input boxes. I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Set the OnSelect property of the "Submit" button to following:

...;
Reset(BarcodeScanner1); /* <-- Add this formula to reset your Barcode Scanner control */
...

In addition, please also consider take a try with the following workaround:

Set the OnScan property of the Barcode Scanner control to following:

Set(IsReset, false)

Set the Default property of the Text Input box to following:

If( IsReset, Blank(), BarcodeScanner1.Value )

Set the OnSelect property of the "Submit" button to following:

...;
Set(IsReset, true); /* <-- Add this formula */
....

Set the OnVisible property of the current screen to following:

Set(IsReset, true);

Please take a try with above solution, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

You need to do UpdateContext({resetbarcodelocation:true}) & UpdateContext({resetbarcodelocation:false}), this will clear out the values from the input textbox

I had the same problem as described and found a simple solution to reset the text input field.
Set the OnScan property of the "BarcodeScanner" button to:
Set(varsingleScan1, BarcodeScannerEdit1.Value)
Set the Default property of the "TextInput1" field to:
varsingleScan1
Set the OnSelect property of the "Reset" button to:
Set(varsingleScan1, "");
