var splitPane = myForm.newTabPanel('splitPane', 10, 10, 620, 460);
splitPane.tabOrientation = JSTabPanel.SPLIT_HORIZONTAL;
// (...) some code when you decide it's better to revert the orientation
splitPane.tabOrientation = JSTabPanel.DEFAULT_ORIENTATION;
HIDE
Constant used for creating a tab panel that does not show tabs, by setting its tabOrientation.
Enables a component to stick to a specific side of form and/or to
grow or shrink when a window is resized.
If opposite anchors are activated then the component with grow or
shrink with the window. For example if Top and Bottom are activated,
then the component will grow/shrink when the window is vertically
resized. If Left and Right are activated then the component
will grow/shrink when the window is horizontally resized.
If opposite anchors are not activated, then the component will
keep a constant distance from the sides of the window which
correspond to the activated anchors.
// This property can be used on all types of components.
// Here it is illustrated only for labels and fields.
var greenLabel = form.newLabel('Green',10,10,100,50);
greenLabel.background = 'green'; // Use generic names for colors.
var redField = form.newField('parent_table_text',JSField.TEXT_FIELD,10,110,100,30);
redField.background = '#FF0000'; // Use RGB codes for colors.
borderType
The type, color and style of border of the component.
//HINT: To know exactly the notation of this property set it in the designer and then read it once out through the solution model.
var field = form.newField('my_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
field.borderType = solutionModel.createLineBorder(1,'#ff0000');
cssPosition
CSS position is a replacement for anchoring system making it more intuitive to place a component.
CSS position should be set on form, an absolute position form can either work with anchoring or with css position.
This is only working in NGClient.
// This property can be used on all types of components.
// Here it is illustrated only for labels and fields.
var labelWithBlueText = form.newLabel('Blue text', 10, 10, 100, 30);
labelWithBlueText.foreground = 'blue'; // Use generic names for colors.
var fieldWithYellowText = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 50, 100, 20);
fieldWithYellowText.foreground = '#FFFF00'; // Use RGB codes for colors.
formIndex
The Z index of this component. If two components overlap, then the component with higher Z index is displayed above the component with lower Z index.
A String representing a group ID for this component. If several
components have the same group ID then they belong to the same
group of components. Using the group itself, all components can
be disabled/enabled or made invisible/visible.
The group id should be a javascript compatible identifier to allow access of the group in scripting.
var form = solutionModel.newForm('someForm', 'db:/example_data/parent_table', null, false, 620, 300);
var label = form.newLabel('Label', 10, 10, 150, 150);
label.name = 'myLabel'; // Give a name to the component.
forms['someForm'].controller.show()
// Now use the name to access the component.
forms['someForm'].elements['myLabel'].text = 'Updated text';
onChange
Method to be executed when the selected tab is changed in the tab panel or divider position is changed in split pane.
var onChangeMethod = form.newMethod('function onTabChange(previousIndex, event) { application.output("Tab changed from previous index " + previousIndex + " at " + event.getTimestamp()); }');
var tabPanel = form.newTabPanel('tabs', 10, 10, 620, 460);
tabPanel.newTab('tab1', 'Child Two', childOne);
tabPanel.newTab('tab2', 'Child Two', childTwo);
tabPanel.onChange = onChangeMethod;
scrollTabs
Flag that tells how to arrange the tabs if they don't fit on a single line.
If this flag is set, then the tabs will stay on a single line, but there will
be the possibility to scroll them to the left and to the right. If this flag
is not set, then the tabs will be arranged on multiple lines.
var tabPanel = form.newTabPanel('tabs', 10, 10, 200, 200);
tabPanel.newTab('tab1', 'Child Two', childOne, parentToChild); // The first form uses the relation.
tabPanel.newTab('tab2', 'Child Two', childTwo);
tabPanel.scrollTabs = true;
styleClass
The name of the style class that should be applied to this component.
When defining style classes for specific component types, their names
must be prefixed according to the type of the component. For example
in order to define a class names 'fancy' for fields, in the style
definition the class must be named 'field.fancy'. If it would be
intended for labels, then it would be named 'label.fancy'. When specifying
the class name for a component, the prefix is dropped however. Thus the
field or the label will have its styleClass property set to 'fancy' only.
var form = solutionModel.newForm('printForm', 'db:/example_data/parent_table', null, false, 400, 300);
var field = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
var style = solutionModel.newStyle('myStyle','field.fancy { background-color: yellow; }');
form.styleName = 'myStyle'; // First set the style on the form.
field.styleClass = 'fancy'; // Then set the style class on the field.
tabOrientation
Specifies either the position of the tabs related to the tab panel or the type of tab-panel.
Can be one of SM_ALIGNMENT.(TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT), DEFAULT_ORIENTATION, HIDE, SPLIT_HORIZONTAL, SPLIT_VERTICAL, ACCORDION_PANEL.
var tabPanel = form.newTabPanel('tabs', 10, 10, 620, 460);
tabPanel.newTab('tab1', 'Child Two', childOne, parentToChild); // The first form uses the relation.
tabPanel.newTab('tab2', 'Child Two', childTwo);
// The SM_ALIGNMENT constants TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM and LEFT can be used to put the
// tabs into the needed position. Use HIDE to hide the tabs. Use DEFAULT_ORIENTATION to restore it to it's initial state.
// The constants SPLIT_HORIZONTAL, SPLIT_VERTICAL can be used to create a split pane,
// where the first tab will be the first component and the second tab will the second component.
// ACCORDION_PANEL can be used to create an accordion pane.
tabPanel.tabOrientation = SM_ALIGNMENT.BOTTOM;
tabSeq
An index that specifies the position of the component in the tab sequence. The components
are put into the tab sequence in increasing order of this property. A value of 0 means
to use the default mechanism of building the tab sequence (based on their location on the form).
A value of -2 means to remove the component from the tab sequence.
// Create three fields. Based on how they are placed, by default they will come one
// after another in the tab sequence.
var fieldOne = form.newField('parent_table_id', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
var fieldTwo = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 40, 100, 20);
var fieldThree = form.newField('parent_table_id', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 70, 100, 20);
// Set the third field come before the first in the tab sequence, and remove the
// second field from the tab sequence.
fieldOne.tabSeq = 2;
fieldTwo.tabSeq = SM_DEFAULTS.IGNORE;
fieldThree.tabSeq = 1;
transparent
Flag that tells if the component is transparent or not.
The default value is "false", that is the components
are not transparent.
// Load an image from disk an create a Media object based on it.
var imageBytes = plugins.file.readFile('d:/ball.jpg');
var media = solutionModel.newMedia('ball.jpg', imageBytes);
// Put on the form a label with the image.
var image = form.newLabel('', 10, 10, 100, 100);
image.imageMedia = media;
// Put two fields over the image. The second one will be transparent and the
// image will shine through.
var nonTransparentField = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 20, 100, 20);
var transparentField = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 50, 100, 20);
transparentField.transparent = true;
visible
The visible property of the component, default true.
var frm = solutionModel.getForm('orders')
var fld = frm.getField('fld')
var attributes = fld.getAttributes();
for (var i = 0; i < attributes.length; i++)
{
application.output(fld.getAttribute(attributes[i]));
}
var frm = solutionModel.getForm('orders')
var fld = frm.getField('fld')
var attributes = fld.getAttributes();
for (var i = 0; i < attributes.length; i++)
{
application.output(fld.getAttribute(attributes[i]));
}
Stringtext The text to be displayed on the new tab.
JSFormform The JSForm instance that should be displayed in the new tab.
Returns:JSTab A JSTab instance representing the newly created and added tab.
