setEmptyDisplayValue

public void setEmptyDisplayValue(java.lang.String emptyDisplayValue)

Text to display when this form item has a null or undefined value.

If the formItem has a databound pickList, and its FormItem.displayField or FormItem.valueField (if the former isn't set) has an undefined emptyCellValue field, that field will automatically be set using the emptyDisplayValue property.

If the emptyDisplayValue is null (the default) then this item will use the standard title of the tree menu button that is shown when no values are selected.

If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Setter for emptyDisplayValue.

Overrides:

setEmptyDisplayValue in class FormItem

Parameters:

emptyDisplayValue - See HTMLString . Default value is null

getEmptyDisplayValue

public java.lang.String getEmptyDisplayValue()

Text to display when this form item has a null or undefined value.

If the formItem has a databound pickList, and its FormItem.displayField or FormItem.valueField (if the former isn't set) has an undefined emptyCellValue field, that field will automatically be set using the emptyDisplayValue property.

If the emptyDisplayValue is null (the default) then this item will use the standard title of the tree menu button that is shown when no values are selected.

Overrides:

getEmptyDisplayValue in class FormItem

Returns:

See HTMLString

setEmptyMenuMessage

public void setEmptyMenuMessage(java.lang.String emptyMenuMessage)

setLoadDataOnDemand

public void setLoadDataOnDemand(java.lang.Boolean loadDataOnDemand)

If this is a databound item, should the load our set of possible options be loaded on demand (as submenus are displayed), or upfront?

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

loadDataOnDemand - Default value is null

getLoadDataOnDemand

public java.lang.Boolean getLoadDataOnDemand()

If this is a databound item, should the load our set of possible options be loaded on demand (as submenus are displayed), or upfront?

Returns:

Boolean

setOptionDataSource

public void setOptionDataSource(DataSource optionDataSource)

If set, this FormItem will map stored values to display values as though a com.smartgwt.client.types.ValueMap were specified, by fetching records from the specified optionDataSource and extracting the valueField and displayField in loaded records, to derive one valueMap entry per record loaded from the optionDataSource.

With the default setting of fetchMissingValues, fetches will be initiated against the optionDataSource any time the FormItem has a non-null value and no corresponding display value is available. This includes when the form is first initialized, as well as any subsequent calls to FormItem.setValue(), such as may happen when DynamicForm.editRecord() is called. Retrieved values are automatically cached by the FormItem.

Note that if a normal, static valueMap is also specified for the field (either directly in the form item or as part of the field definition in the dataSource), it will be preferred to the data derived from the optionDataSource for whatever mappings are present.

In a databound form, if FormItem.displayField is specified for a FormItem and optionDataSource is unset, optionDataSource will default to the form's current DataSource

Overrides:

setOptionDataSource in class FormItem

Parameters:

optionDataSource - Default value is null

See Also:

FormItem.invalidateDisplayValueCache(), List - Combo Box Example

getOptionDataSource

public DataSource getOptionDataSource()

If set, this FormItem will map stored values to display values as though a com.smartgwt.client.types.ValueMap were specified, by fetching records from the specified optionDataSource and extracting the valueField and displayField in loaded records, to derive one valueMap entry per record loaded from the optionDataSource.

With the default setting of fetchMissingValues, fetches will be initiated against the optionDataSource any time the FormItem has a non-null value and no corresponding display value is available. This includes when the form is first initialized, as well as any subsequent calls to FormItem.setValue(), such as may happen when DynamicForm.editRecord() is called. Retrieved values are automatically cached by the FormItem.

Note that if a normal, static valueMap is also specified for the field (either directly in the form item or as part of the field definition in the dataSource), it will be preferred to the data derived from the optionDataSource for whatever mappings are present.

In a databound form, if FormItem.displayField is specified for a FormItem and optionDataSource is unset, optionDataSource will default to the form's current DataSource

Returns:

DataSource

setShouldSaveValue

public void setShouldSaveValue(java.lang.Boolean shouldSaveValue)

Should this item's value be saved in the form's values and hence returned from form.getValues()?

shouldSaveValue:false is used to mark formItems which do not correspond to the underlying data model and should not save a value into the form's values. Example includes visual separators, password re-type fields, or checkboxes used to show/hide other form items.

A shouldSaveValue:false item should be given a value either via FormItem.defaultValue or by calling form.setValue(item, value) or formItem.setValue(value). Providing a value via form.values or form.setValues() will automatically switch the item to shouldSaveValue:true.

Note that

• if an item is shouldSaveValue true, but has no name, a warning is logged, and shouldSaveValue will be set to false.

Overrides:

setShouldSaveValue in class CanvasItem

Parameters:

shouldSaveValue - Default value is true

getShouldSaveValue

public java.lang.Boolean getShouldSaveValue()

Should this item's value be saved in the form's values and hence returned from form.getValues()?

Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties of the class instance passed to this function. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

Parameters:

pickTreeItemProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created

setDataSource

public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource)

If specified, the tree of possible options will be derived from the dataSource as a ResultTree, rather than using this.valueTree. Options can be loaded on demand or up front according to loadDataOnDemand.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

dataSource - dataSource Default value is null

getDataSource

public DataSource getDataSource()

The DataSource that this component should bind to for default fields and for performing DSRequest.

Returns:

DataSource

setValueTree

public void setValueTree(Tree valueTree)

A Tree of options from which the user can select.

Parameters:

valueTree - valueTree Default value is null

setDataProperties

public void setDataProperties(Tree dataProperties)

For a PickTreeItem that uses a DataSource, these properties will be passed to the automatically-created ResultTree. This can be used for various customizations such as modifying the automatically-chosen parentIdField.

Parameters:

dataProperties - dataProperties Default value is null
