Properties Detailed

bgcolor

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.

Type String

Sample

//sets the background color of the field
myElement.bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";
//gets the background color of the field
var c = myElement.bgcolor;

border

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".

Type String

Sample

//sets the border type to "LineBorder"
//sets a 1 px line width for the bottom and left side of the border
//sets the hexadecimal color of the border to "#ccffcc"
myElement.border = 'LineBorder,1,#ccffcc';

enabled

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.

Type Boolean

Sample

//gets the enabled state of the field
var currState = myElement.enabled;

//sets the enabled state of the field
myElement.enabled = !currentState;

fgcolor

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.

Type String

Sample

//sets the foreground color of the field
myElement.fgcolor = "#000000";

//gets the foreground color of the field
var c = myElement.fgcolor;

font

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.

Type String

Sample

myElement.font = 'Tahoma,1,11';

readOnly

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.

Type Boolean

Sample

//gets the editable/read-only state of the field
var currentState = myElement.readOnly;

//sets the editable/read-only state of the field
myElement.readOnly = !currentState;

toolTipText

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.

Type String

Sample

//gets the tooltip text of the element
var toolTip = myElement.toolTipText;

//sets the tooltip text of the element
myElement.toolTipText = "New tip";
myElement.toolTipText = "<html>This includes <b>bolded text</b> and <font color='blue'>BLUE</font> text as well.";

transparent

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

Type Boolean
