Form Text Box to add initials and then lock the field

English
#1

Good Day,
What I am looking for is to add a form text box. that would be used so that the person using the form would enter their initials, and have them click a button field and that button click would lock the text box . OR where the Text Box would be locked by some other action.

I suppose that another option would be a button that locks the entire form.

Basically looking for a easy version of a digital signature , a box for initials that they could click a button and lock , or something of that ilk .

Thank you in advance. !

If your purpose is some form of digital signature, have you considered the Digital Signatures built-in feature?

I don’t use it personally but read at least built-in help for basic information.

#3

XML form, database form or PDF form? Where are the input data going to be stored?

#5

It would be stored in the same form it was entered in… ?

#4

sounds like just How can I set the author name to my name in Office Writer?

#6

Not exactly in your option… the person who owns the LibreOffice, would have THEIR name put in there… but what we are doing would be a form , that is taken to a meeting on a computer, and then, while at the meeting the form is filled out… and there would be 3 different people , none of whom are the person with the form, who would enter their initials. and then lock the field. .

Does that make the question clearer ?

#7

This sounds really like signing the document. See if this is what you’re looking for (digital signature after which it is impossible to modify the document).

#8

It basically is what I am looking for… but it does not seem like what I am trying to accomplish is do-able in Writer… I do not want , or need them to have their own passwords /certificates/files/ etc… I just want them to be able to put their initials in the box and then to have is saved/locked so that it can not be changed after ?

something like this -

from the control :

sub done(ev as Object)
   ev.source.setEditable(false)
End Sub

or from anywhere :

ThisComponent.Drawpage.Forms.getByName("myForm").getByName("initials").setEditable(false)

(could be a dropdown list rather than a text box)

Good Day

Since I have never done this and have no idea where this information should correctly go, can you provide a step by step instruction. This would be greatly appreciated…

Thank you for all your help !
