onElementDataChange(oldValue, newValue, event)

Method that is executed when the data in one of the form's component is successfully changed and the onDataChange callback from the component does not exist or exists and returned true

Parameters

void oldValue old value
void newValue new value
JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Returns

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

 
 

onElementFocusGained(event)

The method that is triggered when focus is gained by a component inside the form.

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Returns

Supported Clients

Sample

 
 

onElementFocusLost(event)

The method that gets triggered when focus is lost by a component inside the form.

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Returns

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

 
 

onHide(event)

The method that is triggered when another form is being activated. NOTE: If the onHide method returns false, the form can be prevented from hiding. For example, when using onHide with showFormInDialog, the form will not close by clicking the dialog close box (X).

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Returns

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient,MobileClient

Sample

 
 

onLoad(event)

The method that is triggered when a form is loaded/reloaded from the repository; used to alter elements, set globals, hide toolbars, etc; onShow method can also be assigned. NOTE: onShow should be used to access current foundset dataproviders; onLoad cannot be used because the foundset data is not loaded until after the form is loaded. Also calls to loadRecords() should be done in the onShow method and not in the onLoad method If you call loadRecords() in the onShow method, you may want to set the namedFoundSet property of the form to 'empty' to prevent the first default form query. NOTE: the onLoad event bubbles down, meaning that the onLoad is first fired on the parent then on a tab in a tabpanel (and in tab of that tab panels if you are 3 deep)

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient,MobileClient

Sample

 
 

onRecordEditStart(event)

The method that is triggered when a user clicks into a column on the form. NOTE: There is a small "e" displayed in the lower left side of the Servoy Client screen in the status area at the bottom of the window when the record is being edited.

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Returns

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

 
 

onRecordEditStop(record, event)

The method that is triggered when a record is being saved. A record is saved when a user clicks out of it (for example on an empty part of the layout or to another form). When the method returns false (for example as part of a validation), the user cannot leave the record, for example in a table view a user cannot move to another record when the callback returns false.

Parameters

JSRecord record record being saved
JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Returns

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

 
 

onRecordSelection(event)

The method that is triggered each time a record is selected. If a form is in List view or Special table view - when the user clicks on it. In Record view - after the user navigates to another record using the slider or clicks up or down for next/previous record. NOTE: Data and Servoy tag values are returned when the onRecordSelection method is executed. NOTE: this will also fire if the selection goes to -1 because the foundset is cleared. So foundset.getSelectedRecord() can return null.

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient,MobileClient

Sample

 
 

onRender(event)

The method that is executed when the component is rendered.

Parameters

JSRenderEvent event the render event

Supported Clients

Sample

 
 

onResize(event)

The method that gets triggered when resize occurs.

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient

Sample

 
 

onShow(firstShow, event)

The method that is triggered EVERY TIME the form is displayed; an argument must be passed to the method if this is the first time the form is displayed. NOTE: onShow can be used to access current foundset dataproviders; onLoad cannot be used because the foundset data is not loaded until after the form is loaded. NOTE: the onShow event bubbles down, meaning that the onShow event of a form displayed in a tabPanel is fired after the onShow event of the parent.

Parameters

Boolean firstShow form is shown first time after load
JSEvent event the event that triggered the action

Supported Clients

SmartClient,WebClient,NGClient,MobileClient

Sample

 
 

onUnLoad(event)

The method that is triggered when a form is unloaded from the repository. NOTE: Forms can be prevented from being removed from memory by referencing the form object in a global variable or inside an array inside a global variable. Do take care using this technique. Forms take up memory and if too many forms are in memory and cannot be unloaded, there is a possibility of running out of memory.

Parameters

JSEvent event the event that triggered the action
