layout
, value management, validation and
databinding for the controls it manages.
To create a DynamicForm, create several FormItem
s and pass them to
setItems()
. For example:
DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm(); TextItem textItem = new TextItem("userName"); SelectItem selectItem = new SelectItem("usState"); form.setItems(textItem, selectItem);The item
name
is an identifier for the item that must be unique just within
this form. It is used:
form.getValues()
form.getValue()
)
form.getItem()
setDataSource()
. In this case, FormItems are
chosen based on the data type of the field - see FormItemType
. You can override
the automatically chosen FormItem via DataSourceField.editorType
.
FormItem lifecycle is managed by the DynamicForm itself. FormItem instances are created and destroyed automatically when new fields are added to the form.
When using DataSource binding, you can also add additional FormItems not specified in the DataSource, or override any properties on the automatically generated FormItems, without having to re-declare any information that comes from the DataSource. See the QuickStart Guide chapter on Data Binding for an overview.
All FormItems share a common set of properties for controlling form\n
layout
. Other properties common to all FormItems are documented on the FormItem
class, and properties specific to particular FormItems are documented on the respective
FormItems.
NOTE: For very simple forms consisting of exactly one item, you still use a DynamicForm. See the "fontSelector" form in the Toolstrip example.

FileItem
for uploading files, should the
browser verify that the file is accessible before submitting the uploaded file to the server? In some cases the
browser may not be able to access the selected file.
This can occur when the file has been modified in the file
system after selection in the browser, or if the current user doesn't have permission to view the file.
By default,
before submitting the file to the server the browser will verify that it can access the file's contents and display the
fileAccessFailedWarning
if file access
fails.
Note that accessing the file's contents is an asynchronous process, so form submission is not performed
synchronously.
This means that if application code calls saveData()
on a form containing a fileItem and then synchronously
clears
it from the DOM, the upload will never be kicked off.
Setting checkFileAccessOnSubmit
to false will suppress the (asynchronous) check, and can be used to bypass
this limitation, but this is not recommended except as a short term backwards-compatibility workaround. Instead we'd
recommend using the saveData callback
to clear the form
when the upload has completed. This also gives the user an opportunity to correct validation errors and re-submit the
form if necessary.

showErrorIcons
, or showErrorIcon
at the FormItem level controls whether an error icon should
appear next to fields which have validation errors. The icon's appearance is governed by FormItem.errorIconSrc
, FormItem.errorIconWidth
and FormItem.errorIconHeight
showErrorText
determines whether the text of the validation error should be displayed next to fields which
have validation errors. The attribute showTitlesWithErrorMessages
may be set to prefix error messages with the form item's title + ":"
(may be
desired if the item has FormItem.showTitle
set to
false).
If showErrorText
is unset, the error text will be shown if linearMode
is true (or linearOnMobile
is true for mobile devices), otherwise it
will not be shown.
In addition to this:
errorOrientation
controls where the error HTML should appear relative to form items. Therefore the combination of
showErrorText
:false
and errorOrientation
:"left"
creates a compact
validation error display consisting of just an icon, to the left of the item with the error message available via a
hover (similar appearance to ListGrid validation error display).
If errorOrientation
is unset, the
error orientation will default to "top" if linearMode
is enabled (or linearOnMobile
is true
for mobile devices) and error text is not showing, "left" otherwise.
showErrorStyle
determines whether
fields with validation errors should have special styling applied to them. Error styling is achieved by applying
suffixes to existing styling applied to various parts of the form item. See FormItemBaseStyle
for more on this.

server-side validation of the form values. If the validation fails, the validation errors returned by the server are
rendered in the form. If the validation succeeds, the form is submitted to the URL specified by action
.
The form values are available on the server as request parameters (just like a normal form submit) and also as the values of a DSRequest sent as an RPC alongside the normal submit.
The expected response to this request is a DSResponse sent via the RPC mechanism. If validation is successful, an empty response with the STATUS_SUCCESS status code is sufficient. If there are validation errors, the DSResponse should have the status set to STATUS_VALIDATION_ERROR and the errors should be set on the response via the addError()/setErrorReport() API on DSResponse.

public DynamicForm setValues(java.util.Map values)
form item
in the form, and each property value is the value held by that form item.
The form's values may contain values that are not managed by any FormItem, and these values will be preserved and
available when the form values are subsequently retrieved via getValues()
.
Providing values on initialization is
equivalent to calling setValues()
.
As the user
manipulates form items to change values, change events fire on the items
and on the form as a whole
.
Note that form values are
logical values, for example, the value of a DateItem
is a JavaScript
Date object, not a String, even if the user enters the date via a text input. Likewise the value of a TextItem
or CheckboxItem
that
started out null remains null until the user changes it; the value will not be automatically converted to the null
string ("") or false respectively, as happens with native HTML elements.
If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized:
Replaces the current values of the entire form with the values passed in.
Note: when working with a form that is saving to a DataSource, you would typically call either editRecord()
for an existing record, or editNewRecord()
for a new record. In addition to setting the current values of the form, these APIs establish the DSRequest.operationType
used to save ("update" vs "add").
Values should be provided as an Object containing the new values as properties, where each propertyName is the name of a form item
in the form, and each property value is the value to apply to that form item via FormItem.setValue()
.
Values with no corresponding form item may also be passed, will be tracked by the form and returned by subsequent calls to getValues()
.
Any FormItem
for which a value is not provided will revert to its defaultValue
. To cause all FormItems to revert to default values, pass null.
This method also calls rememberValues()
so that a subsequent later call to resetValues()
will revert to the passed values.

Note: This is very unlikely to occur with modern versions of IE, which don't allow the path of a file to be edited by hand (only selected via file navigation). It was last seen in IE6-7 under Windows XP.

than throwing an exception on the client during submit(), normally all failures in native form submission are handled by

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.

DataBoundComponent
useFlatFields
flag causes all simple type fields anywhere in a nested
set of DataSources to be exposed as a flat list for form binding.
useFlatFields
is typically used with imported metadata, such as
XMLTools.loadXMLSchema(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.XSDLoadCallback)
from a
XMLTools.loadWSDL(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WSDLLoadCallback)
, as a means of eliminating levels of XML
nesting that aren't meaningful in a user interface, without the cumbersome and fragile
process of mapping form fields to XML structures.
For example, having called WebService.getInputDS(java.lang.String)
to retrieve the input message
schema for a web service operation whose input message looks like this:
<FindServices> <searchFor>search text</searchFor> <Options> <caseSensitive>false</caseSensitive> </Options> <IncludeInSearch> <serviceName>true</serviceName> <documentation>true</documentation> <keywords>true</keywords> </IncludeInSearch> </FindServices>Setting
useFlatFields
on a DynamicForm
that is bound to this input
message schema would result in 5 FormItem
reflecting the 5 simple type
fields in the message.
For this form, the result of getValues()
might look
like:
{ searchFor: "search text", caseSensitive: false, serviceName: true, documentation : true, keywords : true }When contacting a
WebService
, these values can be automatically
mapped to the structure of the input message for a web service operation by setting
useFlatFields
(for use with WebService.callOperation(java.lang.String, java.util.Map, java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WebServiceCallback)
) or by setting
useFlatFields
(for use with a DataSource
that is
'bound to a WSDL web service'
via
wsOperation
).
Using these two facilities in conjunction (component.useFlatFields and request.useFlatFields) allows gratuitous nesting to be consistently bypassed in both the user presentation and when providing the data for XML messages.
You can also set useFlatFields
to automatically enable
"flattened" XML serialization (request.useFlatFields) for all DataSource requests of a
particular operationType.
Note that useFlatFields
is not generally recommended for use with structures
where multiple simple type fields exist with the same name, however if used with such a
structure, the first field to use a given name wins. "first" means the first field
encountered in a depth first search. "wins" means only the first field will be present as a
field when data binding.

DataBoundComponent
useFlatFields
flag causes all simple type fields anywhere in a nested
set of DataSources to be exposed as a flat list for form binding.
useFlatFields
is typically used with imported metadata, such as
XMLTools.loadXMLSchema(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.XSDLoadCallback)
from a
XMLTools.loadWSDL(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WSDLLoadCallback)
, as a means of eliminating levels of XML
nesting that aren't meaningful in a user interface, without the cumbersome and fragile
process of mapping form fields to XML structures.
For example, having called WebService.getInputDS(java.lang.String)
to retrieve the input message
schema for a web service operation whose input message looks like this:
<FindServices> <searchFor>search text</searchFor> <Options> <caseSensitive>false</caseSensitive> </Options> <IncludeInSearch> <serviceName>true</serviceName> <documentation>true</documentation> <keywords>true</keywords> </IncludeInSearch> </FindServices>Setting
useFlatFields
on a DynamicForm
that is bound to this input
message schema would result in 5 FormItem
reflecting the 5 simple type
fields in the message.
For this form, the result of getValues()
might look
like:
{ searchFor: "search text", caseSensitive: false, serviceName: true, documentation : true, keywords : true }When contacting a
WebService
, these values can be automatically
mapped to the structure of the input message for a web service operation by setting
useFlatFields
(for use with WebService.callOperation(java.lang.String, java.util.Map, java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.data.WebServiceCallback)
) or by setting
useFlatFields
(for use with a DataSource
that is
'bound to a WSDL web service'
via
wsOperation
).
Using these two facilities in conjunction (component.useFlatFields and request.useFlatFields) allows gratuitous nesting to be consistently bypassed in both the user presentation and when providing the data for XML messages.
You can also set useFlatFields
to automatically enable
"flattened" XML serialization (request.useFlatFields) for all DataSource requests of a
particular operationType.
Note that useFlatFields
is not generally recommended for use with structures
where multiple simple type fields exist with the same name, however if used with such a
structure, the first field to use a given name wins. "first" means the first field
encountered in a depth first search. "wins" means only the first field will be present as a
field when data binding.

Firstly this ensures that saved searches will be unambiguously associated with the
particular component even if the page changes such that a stored minimal locator would
no longer applied to the component, without requiring an explicit
Canvas.ID

Secondly this allows the same set of saved searches to be applied to more than one
