controller
Overview
The controller represents a runtime form instance (FormController
) and provides methods for manipulating forms programmatically.
It includes properties like enabled
, readOnly
, and view
to control form behavior and appearance, and a variety of methods to manage data, set focus, and control the form’s user interface dynamically.
Functions like find()
and search()
enable advanced data querying capabilities.
All javascript calls must be delegated to the FormController
Properties Summarized
Gets or sets the read-only state of a form; also known as "editable" Note: The field(s) in a form set as read-only can be selected and the field data can be copied to clipboard.
Methods Summarized
Returns the maximum length allowed in the specified dataprovider.
Gets the forms context where it resides, returns a dataset of its structure to the main controller.
Get an array with the names of the components that are part of the tab sequence.
Returns the JSWindow that the form is shown in, or null if the form is not currently showing in a window.
Start the database search and use the results, returns the number of records, make sure you did "find" function first.

Properties Detailed
enabled
Gets or sets the enabled state of a form; also known as "grayed-out". Notes:
A disabled element(s) cannot be selected by clicking the form.
The disabled "grayed" color is dependent on the LAF set in the Servoy Smart Client Application Preferences.
Type Boolean true if the form is enabled (not grayed-out), false otherwise.
Sample
//gets the enabled state of the form
var state = controller.enabled;
//enables the form for input
controller.enabled = true;
readOnly
Gets or sets the read-only state of a form; also known as "editable"
Note: The field(s) in a form set as read-only can be selected and the field data can be copied to clipboard.
Type Boolean true if the form is read-only (not editable), false otherwise.
Sample
//gets the read-only state of the form
var state = controller.readOnly;
//sets the read-only state of the form
controller.readOnly = true
view
Get/Set the current type of view of this form. Can be one of the JSForm.xxxx_VIEW constants. In NGClient only RECORD_VIEW is fully supported, the List and TableViews should be replaced by components.
Type Number the current view type of the form as an integer (e.g., RECORD_VIEW, LIST_VIEW).
Sample
//gets the type of view for this form
var view = controller.view;
//sets the form to Record view
controller.view = JSForm.RECORD_VIEW;
//sets the form to List view
controller.view = JSForm.LIST_VIEW;
Methods Detailed
find()
Set the foundset in find mode. (Start a find request), use the "search" function to perform/exit the find.
Before going into find mode, all unsaved records will be saved in the database.
If this fails (due to validation failures or sql errors) or is not allowed (autosave off), the foundset will not go into find mode.
Make sure the operator and the data (value) are part of the string passed to dataprovider (included inside a pair of quotation marks).
Note: always make sure to check the result of the find() method.
When in find mode, columns can be assigned string expressions (including operators) that are evaluated as:
General:
c1||c2 (condition1 or condition2)
c|format (apply format on condition like 'x|dd-MM-yyyy')
!c (not condition)
#c (modify condition, depends on column type)
^ (is null)
^= (is null or empty)
<x (less than value x)
>x (greater than value x)
<=x (less than or equals value x)
>=x (greater than or equals value x)
x...y (between values x and y, including values)
x (equals value x)
Number fields:
=x (equals value x)
^= (is null or zero)
Date fields:
#c (equals value x, entire day)
now (equals now, date and or time)
// (equals today)
today (equals today)
Text fields:
#c (case insensitive condition)
= x (equals a space and 'x')
^= (is null or empty)
%x% (contains 'x')
%x_y% (contains 'x' followed by any char and 'y')
\% (contains char '%')
\_ (contains char '_')
Related columns can be assigned, they will result in related searches.
For example, "employees_to_department.location_id = headoffice" finds all employees in the specified location).
Searching on related aggregates is supported.
For example, "orders_to_details.total_amount = '>1000'" finds all orders with total order details amount more than 1000.
Arrays can be used for searching a number of values, this will result in an 'IN' condition that will be used in the search.
The values are not restricted to strings but can be any type that matches the column type.
For example, "record.department_id = [1, 33, 99]"
Multiple Find Records for Logical OR:
It's important to note that when in Find Mode, a foundset will initially contain one record object.
However, multiple record objects may be used to articulate search criteria.
This has the effect that the criteria described in each record are concatenated by a SQL OR.
Returns: Boolean true if the foundset is now in find mode, false otherwise.
Sample
if (foundset.find()) //find will fail if autosave is disabled and there are unsaved records
{
columnTextDataProvider = 'a search value'
// for numbers you have to make sure to format it correctly so that the decimal point is in your locales notation (. or ,)
columnNumberDataProvider = '>' + utils.numberFormat(anumber, '####.00');
columnDateDataProvider = '31-12-2010|dd-MM-yyyy'
foundset.search()
}
// Multiple Find Records for Logical OR - example
// Find customers in the city of Berlin AND in the postal code 12209...
// OR customers in the city of San Francisco AND in the postal code 94117
if (foundset.find()) // Enter find mode city = 'Berlin';
{
city = 'Berlin'; // Assign a search criteria
postalcode = '12209';
foundset.newRecord(); // Create a new search record
city = 'San Francisco';
postalcode = '94117';
foundset.search(); // Execute the query and load the records
}
focusField(fieldName, skipReadonly)
Sets focus to a field specified by its name. If the second parameter is set to true, then readonly fields will be skipped (the focus will be set to the first non-readonly field located after the field with the specified name; the tab sequence is respected when searching for the non-readonly field).
Parameters
String fieldName the name of the field to be focussed
Boolean skipReadonly indication to skip read only fields, if the named field happens to be read only
Returns: Boolean true if component was found and can be focused
Sample
var tabseq = controller.getTabSequence();
if (tabseq.length > 1) {
// If there is more than one field in the tab sequence,
// focus the second one and skip over readonly fields.
controller.focusField(tabseq[1], true);
}
else {
// If there is at most one field in the tab sequence, then focus
// whatever field is first, and don't bother to skip over readonly fields.
controller.focusField(null, false);

currentWindow(650, 700, 450, 350);
currentWindow = "Window Title";
controller.show(currentWindow);
}
loadAllRecords()
Loads all accessible records from the datasource into the form foundset. When the form contains a related foundset it will be replaced by a default foundset on same datasource. Or when this form is not configured to have a seperate foundset it will also be related with the default shared foundset.
So this is different then foundset.loadAllRecords() because that will just load all the records based on its filters of that foundset instance. This controller.loadAllRecords() can result in a replacement of the current loaded foundset instance.
Notes: -the default foundset is always limited by filters, if databaseManager.addFoundSetFilterParam function is used. -typical use is loading the normal foundset again after form usage in a related tabpanel
Returns: Boolean true if successful
Sample
controller.loadAllRecords();
loadRecords(foundset)
Loads a (related) foundset into the form. The form will no longer share the default foundset with forms of the same datasource, use controller.loadAllRecords() to restore the default foundset. (restore to default foundset depends a bit on if the give foundset is a related foundset or not or if this form is configured to have a seperated foundset)
This will really change the foundset instance itself of the form, so no existing foundset is altered just the new foundset that is given is used.. This is different then doing foundset.loadRecords(foundset) because that just alters the current foundset and doesn't do anything with the foundset that is given.
controller.loadRecords( relation ) will always replace with related fs [default]controller.loadRecords( fs ) will replace default fs with the given foundset, foundset filters set previously on the forms foundset are gone, only the foundset filters on the given foundset are set. [separate/named]controller.loadRecords( fs ) will behave like foundset.loadRecords(fs) if the form has already a separate/named foundset but foundset filters set previously on the forms foundset are gone, only the foundset filters on the given foundset are set.
foundset.loadRecords(fs) will adjust the current forms foundset and the foundset filters that are set are kept and merged with the filters of the given foundset.
Parameters
JSFoundSet foundset to load
Returns: Boolean true if successful
Sample
//to load a (related)foundset into the form.
//the form will no longer share the default foundset with forms of the same datasource, use loadAllRecords to restore the default foundset
controller.loadRecords(order_to_orderdetails);
loadRecords(foundset)
Loads a (related) foundset into the form. The form will no longer share the default foundset with forms of the same datasource, use loadAllRecords to restore the default foundset.
This will really update the foundset instance itself of the form, so now existing foundset is altered just the new foundset is shown. This is different then doing foundset.loadRecords(foundset) because that just alters the current foundset and doesn't do anything with the foundset that is given.
When the form uses a seperate foundset, foundset filter params are copied over from the source foundset and are merged with the existing filters.
Parameters
JSFoundSet foundset to load
Returns: Boolean true if successful
Sample
//to load a (related)foundset into the form.
//the form will no longer share the default foundset with forms of the same datasource, use loadAllRecords to restore the default foundset
controller.loadRecords(order_to_orderdetails);
recreateUI()
Recreates the forms UI components, to reflect the latest solution model. Use this after altering the elements via solutionModel at the JSForm of this form.
Returns: Boolean true if successful
Sample
// get the solution model JSForm
var form = solutionModel.getForm("myForm");
// get the JSField of the form
var field = form.getField("myField");
// alter the field
field.x = field.x + 10;
// recreate the runtime forms ui to reflect the changes.
controller.recreateUI();
search()

Sample
var recordCount = foundset.search();
//var recordCount = foundset.search(false,false); //to extend foundset
search(clearLastResults)
