The IRuntimeGroup
interface provides scripting support for runtime group elements in Servoy, extending HasRuntimeReadOnly
and IRuntimeComponent
for read-only and component functionalities.

void
Sets the value for the specified element client property key.
void
Removes a style from the styleClass property.
void

void

Gets or sets the background color of a field. The color has to be set using the hexadecimal RGB value as used in HTML. It only returns it's correct value if it was explicitly set.
Sample
Gets or sets the border attribute(s) of a specified element.
The border attributes:
borderType - EmptyBorder, EtchedBorder, BevelBorder, LineBorder, TitleBorder, MatteBorder, SpecialMatteBorder. size - (numeric value) for: bottom, left, right, top. color - (hexadecimal value) for: bottom, left, right, top. dash pattern - (numeric value) for selected side(s). rounding radius - (numeric value) for selected side(s).
It only returns it's correct value if it was explicitly set.
NOTE: Use the same value(s) and order of attribute(s) from the element design time property "borderType".
Sample
Gets or sets the enabled state of a specified field, also known as "grayed". true - enabled; false - not enabled; ! - the enabled state is inverted (the opposite).
NOTE: A disabled element cannot be selected by clicking the element (or by pressing the TAB key even if this option is supported by the operating system).
NOTE: A label or button element will not disable if the "displayType" design time property for a field is set to HTML_AREA.
NOTE: The disabled "grayed" color is dependent on the LAF set in the Servoy Client Application Preferences. For more information see Preferences: Look And Feel in the Servoy Developer User's Guide.
Sample
Gets or sets the foreground color of a field. The color has to be set using the hexadecimal RGB value as used in HTML. It only returns it's correct value if it was explicitly set.
Sample
Gets or sets the font name, style, and size of an element.
font name - the name of the font family. style - the type of the font. (plain = 0; bold = 1; italic = 2; bold-italic = 3). size - the size of the font (in points).
It only returns it's correct value if it was explicitly set.
Sample
Gets or sets the editable/read-only state of a field; true - read-only; false - editable; ! - the editable/read-only state is inverted (the opposite).
NOTE: A field set as read-only can be selected by clicking (or pressing the TAB key if this option is supported by the operating system) and the field data can be copied.
Sample
Gets or sets the tool tip text of an element; text displays when the mouse cursor hovers over an element.
NOTE: HTML should be used for multi-line tooltips; you can also use any valid HTML tags to format tooltip text.
Sample
Gets or sets the transparency of an element; true - transparent; false - not transparent.
NOTE: transparency can be inverted using ! operator: elements.elementName.transparent = !elements.elementName.transparent;
NOTE: transparency will be mostly used for background color, a transparent element will receive the background of the element "beneath" it, a non transparent one will use its own background color
Sample
Gets or sets the visibility of an element; true - visible; false - not visible; ! - the visibility state is inverted (the opposite).
NOTE: The visibility of an element is not persistent; the state of visibility only applies to the current user in his/her current session.
Sample
Adds a style to the styleClass property. This works only for NGClient where multiple styles are supported.
Parameters
Returns: void
Sample
Returns the absolute form (designed) Y location.
Sample
Gets the specified client property for the element based on a key.
NOTE: Depending on the operating system, a user interface property name may be available.
Parameters
Sample
Get the design-time properties of an element.
Sample
Get a design-time property of an element.
Parameters
Sample
Returns the type of a specified element.
Sample
Returns the name of the form. (may be empty string as well)
Sample
Returns the height of the current element. NOTE: getHeight() can be used with getWidth() to set the size of an element using the setSize function. For example:
//returns the width (w) and height (h) var w = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getWidth(); var h = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getHeight();
//sets the new size forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w,h);
//sets the new size and adds 1 px to both the width and height forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w+1,h+1);
Sample
Returns the x location of the current element.
NOTE: getLocationX() can be used with getLocationY() to set the location of an element using the setLocation function. For Example:
//returns the X and Y coordinates var x = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationX(); var y = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationY();
//sets the new location 10 px to the right; 10 px down from the current location forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setLocation(x+10,y+10);
Sample
Returns the y location of the current element. The method can only be used in Record view.
NOTE: getLocationY() can be used with getLocationX() to set the location of an element using the setLocation function. For Example:
//returns the X and Y coordinates var x = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationX(); var y = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationY();
//sets the new location 10 px to the right; 10 px down from the current location forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setLocation(x+10,y+10);
Sample
Returns the name of an element. (may be null as well)
Sample
Returns the width of the current element.
NOTE: getWidth() can be used with getHeight() to set the size of an element using the setSize function. For Example:
//returns the width (w) and height (h) var w = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getWidth(); var h = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getHeight();
//sets the new size forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w,h);
//sets the new size and adds 1 px to both the width and height forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w+1,h+1);
Sample
Check if an element already have a style from the styleClass property.
Parameters
Returns: void
Sample
Sets the value for the specified element client property key.
NOTE: Depending on the operating system, a user interface property name may be available.
Parameters
Returns: void
Sample
Removes a style from the styleClass property. This works only for NGClient where multiple styles are supported.
Parameters
Returns: void
Sample
Sets the location of an element. It takes as input the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates - starting from the TOP LEFT side of the screen. Please note that location should not be altered at runtime when an element is anchored. Use the solutionModel in such a situation.
NOTE: getLocationX() can be used with getLocationY() to return the current location of an element; then use the X and Y coordinates with the setLocation function to set a new location. For Example:
//returns the X and Y coordinates var x = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationX(); var y = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getLocationY();
//sets the new location 10 px to the right; 10 px down from the current location forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setLocation(x+10,y+10);
Parameters
Returns: void
Sample
Sets the size of an element. It takes as input the width and the height. Please note that size should not be altered at runtime when an element is anchored. Use the solutionModel in such a situation.
NOTE: getWidth() can be used with getHeight() to set the size of an element using the setSize function. For Example:
//returns the width (w) and height (h) var w = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getWidth(); var h = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.getHeight();
//sets the new size forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w,h);
//sets the new size and adds 1 px to both the width and height forms.company.elements.faxBtn.setSize(w+1,h+1);
