sIdentjavascriptlastDetailRow enabledname
enabled
dessIndentGets 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.ret

sIdentjavascriptlastDetailRow formatname
format
dessIndentGets or sets the display formatting of an element for number and text values; does not affect the actual value stored in the database column. There are different options for the different dataprovider types that are assigned to this field. For Integer fields, there is a display and an edit format, using http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html and the max (string) length can be set. For Text/String fields, there are options to force uppercase,lowercase or only numbers. Or a mask can be set that restrict the input the pattern chars can be found here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/text/MaskFormatter.html A mask can have a placehoder (what is shown when there is no data) and if the data must be stored raw (without literals of the mask). A max text length can also be set to force the max text length input, this doesn't work on mask because that max length is controlled with the mask. For Date fields a display and edit format can be set by using a pattern from here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html, you can also say this must behave like a mask (the edit format) A mask only works with when the edit format is exactly that mask (1 char is 1 number/char), because for example MM then only 2 numbers are allowed MMM that displays the month as a string is not supported as a mask. Some examples are "dd-MM-yyyy", "MM-dd-yyyy", etc. The format property is also used to set the UI Converter, this means that you can convert the value object to something else before it gets set into the field, this can also result in a type change of the data. So a string in scripting/db is converted to a integer in the ui, then you have to set an integer format. It only returns it's correct value if it was explicitly set, otherwise null.ret

sIdentjavascriptlastDetailRow mnemonicname
mnemonic
dessIndentGets or sets the specified character(s) - typically an underlined letter- used with/without the modifier key(s) for the label, button or image. Modifiers key values: 1 SHIFT 2 CTRL 4 Meta/CMD (Macintosh) 8 ALT(Windows, Unix); OPTION (Macintosh) NOTE: A mnemonic is usually a single key used with/without the CTRL, CMD, SHIFT, ALT, or OPTION key(s) to activate a menu item or command - depending, in part on whether the menmonic applies in a command line or graphic interface. For one description, you can refer to this web page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158536.aspx or perform a search in a web browser search engine using the criteria "mnemonic". NOTE2: Mnemonic is only supported in Smart Client.ret
dessIndentGets 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.ret
dessIndentGets 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 colorret

sIdentjavascriptlastDetailRow getHeightname
getHeight()
dessIndentReturns 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);ret
dessIndentGets the label for property of a label. This property is used to link a label to a certain element (by default used for tableview header, form security, can be used for custom purposes ).ret
dessIndentReturns 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);ret
dessIndentReturns 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);ret

dessIndentSets 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);prs
