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;

titleText

Gets or sets the title text.

Type String

Sample

var titleText = myElement.titleText;

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

Sample

//gets the transparency of the element
var currentState = myElement.transparent;

//sets the transparency of the element
myElement.transparent = !currentState;

visible

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.

forms.company.elements.faxBtn.visible = true;

//gets the visibility of the element
var currentState = forms.company.elements.faxBtn.visible;

//sets the element as not visible when the current state is visible
forms.company.elements.faxBtn.visible = !currentState;

Number y the Y coordinate of the portal scroll location in pixels

Returns: void

Sample

myElement.setScroll(200,200);

setSize(width, height)

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);

Returns: void

Sample

myElement.setSize(20,30);

setValueListItems(value)

Should receive a dataset parameter, first column is for display values, second column (optional) is for real values.

NOTE: if you modify values for checkbox/radio field, note that having one value in valuelist is a special case, so switching between one value and 0/multiple values after form is created may have side effects

Parameters

Object value first column is display value, second column is real value

Returns: void

Sample

var dataset = databaseManager.createEmptyDataSet(0,new Array('display_values','optional_real_values'));
dataset.addRow(['aa',1]);
dataset.addRow(['bb',2]);
dataset.addRow(['cc',3]);
// myElement should have a valuelist attached
myElement.setValueListItems(dataset);
