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.
Returns
Sample
var labelBelow = form.newLabel('Green', 10, 10, 100, 50);

fieldAbove.background = '#FF0000';
fieldAbove.formIndex = 20;
format
The format that should be applied when displaying the data in the component.
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.
This property is applicable only for types: TEXT_FIELD, COMBOBOX, TYPE_AHEAD, CALENDAR and SPINNER.
Returns
Sample
var field = form.newField('my_table_number', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
field.format = '$#.00';
groupID
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.
Returns
Sample
var form = solutionModel.newForm('someForm', 'db:/example_data/parent_table', null, false, 400, 300);
var label = form.newLabel('Green', 10, 10, 100, 20);

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.

Returns
Sample
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.
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.
Returns
Sample
// 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;
titleText
The text that is displayed in the column header associated with the component when the form
is in table view.
Returns
Sample
var form = solutionModel.newForm('someForm', 'db:/example_data/my_table', null, false, 640, 480);
var field = form.newField('my_table_number', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
field.titleText = 'Column Title';
form.view = JSForm.LOCKED_TABLE_VIEW;
forms['someForm'].controller.show()
toolTipText

The text displayed when hovering over the component with a mouse cursor.

NOTE:
HTML should be used for multi-line tooltips; you can also use any
valid HTML tags to format tooltip text. For example:
<html>This includes<b>bolded text</b> and
<font color='blue'>BLUE</font> text as well.</html>

Returns
Sample
var label = form.newLabel('Stop the mouse over me!', 10, 10, 200, 20);
label.toolTipText = 'I\'m the tooltip. Do you see me?';
transparent

Flag that tells if the component is transparent or not.

The default value is "false", that is the components
are not transparent.

Returns
Sample
// 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;
valuelist
The valuelist that is used by this field when displaying data. Can be used
with fields of type CHECKS, COMBOBOX, RADIOS and TYPE_AHEAD.
Returns
Sample
var vlist = solutionModel.newValueList('options', JSValueList.CUSTOM_VALUES);
vlist.customValues = "one\ntwo\nthree\nfour";
var cmb = form.newField('my_table_options', JSField.COMBOBOX, 10, 100, 100, 20);
cmb.valuelist = vlist;
visible
The visible property of the component, default true.
Returns
Sample
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);
field.visible = false;
width
The width in pixels of the component.
Returns
Sample
var field = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
application.output('original width: ' + field.width);
application.output('original height: ' + field.height);
field.width = 200;
field.height = 100;
application.output('modified width: ' + field.width);
application.output('modified height: ' + field.height);
x
The x coordinate of the component on the form.
Returns
Sample
var field = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
application.output('original location: ' + field.x + ', ' + field.y);
field.x = 90;
field.y = 90;
application.output('changed location: ' + field.x + ', ' + field.y);
y
The y coordinate of the component on the form.
Returns
Sample
var field = form.newField('parent_table_text', JSField.TEXT_FIELD, 10, 10, 100, 20);
application.output('original location: ' + field.x + ', ' + field.y);
field.x = 90;
field.y = 90;
application.output('changed location: ' + field.x + ', ' + field.y);
