public class DynamicForm
extends Canvas
implements DataBoundComponent, HasFormSubmitFailedHandlers, HasAsyncValidationReplyHandlers, HasHiddenValidationErrorsHandlers, HasItemChangeHandlers, HasItemChangedHandlers, HasItemKeyPressHandlers, HasSubmitValuesHandlers, HasValuesChangedHandlers
```
The DynamicForm manages a collection of FormItems which represent user input controls. The DynamicForm provides layout, value management, validation and databinding for the controls it manages.
To create a DynamicForm, create several FormItems 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:
- as the name under which the item's value is stored in the form (the form's current values are accessible as form.getValues()
- when retrieving the FormItem's current value (via form.getValue())
- to retrieve the item itself via form.getItem()
FormItems can also be created by binding the form to a DataSource via 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.

```
public DynamicForm setAction(java.lang.String action)
```
    The URL to which the form will submit its values.
    NOTE: this is used only in the very rare case that a form is used to submit data directly to a URL. Normal server contact is through RPCManager.
    See canSubmit for more on this.
    
    If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Sets the action for this form.
    
    Parameters:

```
public DynamicForm setAllowExpressions(java.lang.Boolean allowExpressions)
```
    For a form that produces filter criteria (see form.getValuesAsCriteria()), allows the user to enter simple expressions in any field in this form that takes text input.
    Also note that enabling allowExpressions for an entire form changes the defaultSearchOperator to "iContainsPattern", so that simple search expressions similar to SQL "LIKE" patterns can be entered in most fields.
    See FormItem.allowExpressions for details.
    
    Parameters:
    
    allowExpressions - New allowExpressions value. Default value is null
    
    Returns:

  - setAutoComplete
```
public DynamicForm setAutoComplete(AutoComplete autoComplete)
```
    Should this form allow browser auto-completion of its items' values? Applies only to items based on native HTML form elements (TextItem, PasswordItem, etc), and will only have a user-visible impact for browsers where native autoComplete behavior is actually supported and enabled via user settings.
    This property may be explicitly specified per item via FormItem.autoComplete.
    Note that even with this value set to "none", native browser auto-completion may occur for log in forms (forms containing username and password fields). This behavior varies by browser, and is a result of an intentional change by some browser developers to disregard the HTML setting autocomplete=off for password items or log-in forms.
    
    Parameters:
    
    autoComplete - New autoComplete value. Default value is "none"
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls
    
    See Also:

  - setBrowserSpellCheck
```
public DynamicForm setBrowserSpellCheck(java.lang.Boolean browserSpellCheck)
```
    If this browser has a 'spellCheck' feature for text-based form item elements, should it be used for items in this form? Can be overridden at the item level via FormItem.browserSpellCheck
    Notes:
    - this property only applies to text based items such as TextItem and TextAreaItem.

  - setCanEdit
```
public DynamicForm setCanEdit(java.lang.Boolean canEdit)
```
    If set to false, the form will be marked read-only. A widget on the form is editable if either (1) beginning with the widget and continuing up the containment hierarchy, including the form, the first widget to have a non-null canEdit attribute has canEdit:true, or (2) neither the widget nor any parent has a non-null canEdit attribute. This setting allows you to enable or disable the default editability of the form's items at one time.
    This setting differs from the enabled/disabled state in that most form items will allow copying of the contents while read-only but do not while disabled.
    Note that a form is considered editable if canEdit is null (default) or true.
    Note that this property may validly be null as a distinct state from false. See fieldIsEditable() for an API that will always return true or false and give a definitive answer as to whether editing is possible.
    
    If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Is this form editable or read-only? Setting the form to non-editable causes all form items to render as read-only unless a form item is specifically marked as editable (the item's canEdit attribute is true).
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    
    Parameters:
    
    canEdit - Can this form be edited?. Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls

                                     throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    If this component is bound to a dataSource, this attribute may be specified to customize what fields from the dataSource may be edited by default. For example the SearchForm class has this attribute set to "canFilter" which allows search forms to edit dataSource fields marked as canEdit:false (but not those marked as canFilter:false).
    Note that if canEdit is explicitly specified on a field in the DataBoundComponent.fields array, that property will be respected in preference to the canEditAttribute value. (See FormItem.canEdit, ListGridField.canEdit). Also note that individual dataBoundComponents may have additional logic around whether a field can be edited - for example ListGrid.canEditCell() may be overridden.
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    
    Parameters:
    
    canEditFieldAttribute - New canEditFieldAttribute value. Default value is "canEdit"
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls

  - setCanSubmit
```
public DynamicForm setCanSubmit(java.lang.Boolean canSubmit)
```
    Governs whether this form will be used to perform a standard HTML form submission. Note that if true, submit() will perform a native HTML submission to the specified action URL.
    Wherever possible we strongly recommend using the DataBound Component Methods to send data to the server as they provide a far more sophisticated interface, with built in options for server validation, required fields, etc.

  - setCheckFileAccessOnSubmit
```
public DynamicForm setCheckFileAccessOnSubmit(boolean checkFileAccessOnSubmit)
```
    For dynamicForms containing a 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.
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    
    Parameters:
    
    checkFileAccessOnSubmit - New checkFileAccessOnSubmit value. Default value is true
    
    Returns:

```
public DynamicForm setItemLayout(FormLayoutType itemLayout)
```
    Layout style to use with this form.
    The default of "table" uses a tabular layout similar to HTML tables, but with much more powerful control over sizing, item visibility and reflow, overflow handling, etc.
    itemLayout:"absolute" allows absolute positioning of every form item. This provides maximum flexibility in placement, with the following limitations:
    - titles, which normally take up an adjacent cell, are not shown. Use StaticTextItems to show titles
    - no automatic reflow when showing or hiding items. FormItem.setLeft() and FormItem.setTop() can be used for manual reflow.
    - only pixel and percent sizes are allowed, no "*". Percent widths mean percentage of the overall form size rather than the column size
    - with different font styling or internationalized titles, items may overlap that did not overlap in the skin used at design time
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    Parameters:
    
    itemLayout - New itemLayout value. Default value is "table"
    
    Returns:

  - setLinearMode
```
public DynamicForm setLinearMode(java.lang.Boolean linearMode)
```
    Switches the entire form to render in a style that is typical for form on a mobile device with one FormItem per row.
    The linearOnMobile attribute allows linear mode to be enabled on mobile interfaces automatically.
    While linearMode is active, the form's table layout is determined using the following logic:
    - If TitleOrientation is not explicitly specified, it will be defaulted to top, causing each item's title to appear above its element.
      Note: in linear mode, each item will have the same title orientation. The item-level FormItem.titleOrientation attribute will be ignored.
    - For those items with a hint that support showing the hint in the field, showHintInField will be defaulted true if unset.
    - For items showing validation errors inline, by default error text will be displayed, and errors will be rendered above the item element.
    - The numCols property for the form is ignored. The form will render as a single column of items - or two columns if titleOrientation is specified as "left" or "right" by default. To override this, a developer may specify an explicit linearNumCols allowing multiple items to potentially be placed next to each other.
    - FormItem.width is ignored and all items receive "*" width unless FormItem.linearWidth is specified.
    Note that if column widths have been specified via colWidths, but the number of columns doesn't match the number of columns being rendered in linear mode, it will be ignored.
    If linearAutoSpanItems is true, each item in linear mode will span the full set of columns by default. With this setting enabled, linearNumCols can be understood as a way to allow some items that are known to not require the full width of the UI to appear next to each other in an otherwise single-column form.
    When linearAutoSpanItems is enabled, the following properties are available for further customizing the placement and sizing of items in a linear form:
    - FormItem.colSpan is ignored and defaulted to "*", unless FormItem.linearColSpan is specified.
    - FormItem.startRow and FormItem.endRow are ignored and all items will default to startRow:false and endRow:true. This may be overridden per item via FormItem.linearStartRow and FormItem.linearEndRow.
    For the best appearance, try to get your form to horizontally fill the screen, or almost all of it, on handset-sized devices. Any kind of fixed width on mobile is probably not going to work as well. One way to achieve this is by using a SplitPane.
    Parameters:
    
    linearMode - New linearMode value. Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls

```
    Switches the entire form to render in a style that is typical for form on a handset device with one FormItem per row by automatically defaulting linearMode to true on handsets.
    Note: This property should not be changed framework-wide via addProperties() as the framework itself assumes and relies upon normal behavior for forms. If you want most of your forms to use linearMode on mobile, create a subclass where linearOnMobile defaults to true, and pervasively use that subclass.
    
    Parameters:
    
    linearOnMobile - New linearOnMobile value. Default value is false
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls

  - setSaveOperationType
```
public DynamicForm setSaveOperationType(DSOperationType saveOperationType)
```
    Default DSOperationType to be performed when saveData() is called. This property is automatically set on a call to editRecord() or editNewRecord(), or may be set directly via setSaveOperationType().
    If saveOperationType is unset, the form will heuristically determine whether an "add" or "update" operation is intended based on whether the primaryKey field is present and editable.
    
    If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Setter for the default DSOperationType when saveData() is called. Note that this property can also be set by calling editRecord() or editNewRecord()
    
    Parameters:
    
    saveOperationType - Operation type to use as a default. Valid values are "add" or "update". Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls
  - getSaveOperationType
```
public DSOperationType getSaveOperationType()
```
    Default DSOperationType to be performed when saveData() is called. This property is automatically set on a call to editRecord() or editNewRecord(), or may be set directly via setSaveOperationType().
    If saveOperationType is unset, the form will heuristically determine whether an "add" or "update" operation is intended based on whether the primaryKey field is present and editable.
    Returns:
    Returns the DSOperationType to be performed when saveData() or ValuesManager.saveData() is called.
    Valid options are "add" or "update".
    If a DSRequest configuration object is passed in containing an explicit operationType this will be returned. Otherwise this.saveOperationType will be returned if set. Note that saveOperationType is automatically set via calls to data binding methods such as editNewRecord(), or it may be set explicitly.
    If no explicit saveOperationType is present, the system will use the following heuristic to determine the save operationType:
    
    If the form has no value for the primaryKey field this method will return "add". The assumption is that this is a new record, and the field will be populated when the record is created, (as with a "sequence" type field).
    
    If, when the form's values were populated, the form had value for the primaryKey field but it has subsequently be changed, this method will return "add". In this case the value has been changed, either by the user or programmatically so a different (new) record is assumed. This is determined by looking at the oldValues for the form.
    
    If the primaryKey field is editable and a value is now present for the primary key field, but was not present in the oldValues for the form, this method will return "add". In this case either no initial values were provided, or a 'sparse' set of values for a new record (with no primary key) were provided to the form and the user has subsequently explicitly entered a new primaryKey field value.
    
    Otherwise this method will return "update". Either the primaryKey field is non editable, or the user has not changed it from its initial value.
    
    . Default value is null

  - setSelectOnClick
```
public DynamicForm setSelectOnClick(java.lang.Boolean selectOnClick)
```
    If this property is set to true, whenever a text-based field in this form (TextItem, TextAreaItem) is given focus - whether programmatically (see focusInItem()), or via a mouse click, all text within the item will be selected.
    If you only want the value to be selected when on programmatic focus or keyboard navigation (this is the native browser behavior), set selectOnFocus instead.
    May be overridden at the form item level via FormItem.selectOnClick.
    
    Parameters:
    
    selectOnClick - New selectOnClick value. Default value is false
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls

  - getSelectOnClick
```
public java.lang.Boolean getSelectOnClick()
```
    If this property is set to true, whenever a text-based field in this form (TextItem, TextAreaItem) is given focus - whether programmatically (see focusInItem()), or via a mouse click, all text within the item will be selected.
    If you only want the value to be selected when on programmatic focus or keyboard navigation (this is the native browser behavior), set selectOnFocus instead.
    May be overridden at the form item level via FormItem.selectOnClick.
    
    Returns:

    See Also:
    
    Focus
  - setSelectOnFocus
```
public DynamicForm setSelectOnFocus(java.lang.Boolean selectOnFocus)
```
    If this property is set to true, whenever a text-based field in this form (TextItem, TextAreaItem) is given focus programmatically (see focusInItem()), all text within the item will be selected.
    Note that this flag affects only programmatic focus. It's the normal behavior of text fields to select all text if the user navigates into them via keyboard, or if the user navigates via mouse, to place the text insertion point at the mouse click, and Smart GWT preserves these behaviors. selectOnFocus is only needed for cases like a form within a pop-up dialog that should have the first field selected.
    If you also want the value to be selected when the user clicks on the field, set selectOnClick instead.
    If selectOnFocus is false, the selection is not modified on focus - any previous selection within the item will be maintained.
    May be overridden at the form item level via FormItem.selectOnFocus.
    
    Parameters:
    
    selectOnFocus - New selectOnFocus value. Default value is false
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls

```
    If set, this DynamicForm will set both showComplexFields and showComplexFieldsRecursively on any nested component used for showing/editing a complex field. Thus any of this form's items that handle complex fields will themselves also show complex fields. This allows for handling of field structures of any complexity.

public DynamicForm setShowDetailFields(java.lang.Boolean showDetailFields)

    Specified by:
    
    setShowDetailFields in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    showDetailFields - New showDetailFields value. Default value is true

public java.lang.Boolean getShowDetailFields()
```
    For databound forms, whether to show fields marked as detail fields.

    getShowDetailFields in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    Current showDetailFields value. Default value is true
  - setShowErrorIcons
```
public DynamicForm setShowErrorIcons(java.lang.Boolean showErrorIcons)
```
    showErrorIcons, showErrorText, errorOrientation, and showErrorStyle control how validation errors are displayed when they are displayed inline in the form (next to the form item where there is a validation error). To instead display all errors at the top of the form, set showInlineErrors:false.
    showErrorIcons, showErrorText, errorOrientation and showErrorStyle are all boolean properties, and can be set on a DynamicForm to control the behavior form-wide, or set on individual FormItems.
    The HTML displayed next to a form item with errors is generated by FormItem.getErrorHTML(). The default implementation of that method respects showErrorIcons and showErrorText as follows:
    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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    showErrorIcons - New showErrorIcons value. Default value is true

    showErrorIcons, showErrorText, errorOrientation and showErrorStyle are all boolean properties, and can be set on a DynamicForm to control the behavior form-wide, or set on individual FormItems.
    The HTML displayed next to a form item with errors is generated by FormItem.getErrorHTML(). The default implementation of that method respects showErrorIcons and showErrorText as follows:
    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.

  - setStoreDisplayValues
```
public DynamicForm setStoreDisplayValues(java.lang.Boolean storeDisplayValues)
                                  throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    For editable fields with a specified FormItem.displayField and FormItem.optionDataSource, if the user selects a new value (typically from PickList based item such as a SelectItem), should the selected displayValue be updated on the record being edited in addition to the value for the actual item.
    Note that this only applies for fields using local display field values - typically foreignKey fields where the display field is included from another dataSource.
    Default value is true. This is typically desirable for editing records with a displayField-mapped field, as it ensures the edited record will be be updated to contain the correct display value as well as the correct data value. As such, the expected display value is available on the record for display (for example in a ListGrid cell).
    It may not be desirable for an interface specifically intended for gathering criteria - in this case, results ought to be limited by an item's actual selected value, not by whatever text is displayed to the user.
    See DataSourceField.displayField for more details.
    Note: the modified display field value will be passed to the server along with the modified foreignKey field value if a databound update operation is performed. This occurs even if the displayField is included from another DataSource and therefore read-only. In this case the server will simply ignore the modified display field value. This is as expected - a subsequent fetch for the same record would recalculate the displayField value on the server using the updated foreignKey field value (and return the same display value previously displayed to the user).
    This attribute can also be set for individual items.
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    
    Parameters:
    
    storeDisplayValues - New storeDisplayValues value. Default value is true
    
    Returns:

  - setSuppressValidationErrorCallback
```
public DynamicForm setSuppressValidationErrorCallback(java.lang.Boolean suppressValidationErrorCallback)
```
    When calling saveData() on a form or valuesManager, by default if the server returns an error code, any callback passed into saveData() will not be fired. If the error code returned by the server indicates a validation error, it will be displayed to the user by updating the form items to show the error messages, and firing any specified hiddenValidationErrors handler, otherwise the standard RPCManager error handling logic would be invoked.
    Developers who want to handle errors themselves can override this default by specifying dsRequest.willHandleError on the DSRequest. In this case the callback passed in will be fired even if the server returns an error status code.
    If suppressValidationErrorCallback is set to true, if a save attempt returns a validation error code, the user-specified callback will not be fired even if willHandleError:true was specified on the dsRequest - though for other error codes, the callback would be fired if willHandleError is specified on the request. Note that this is the historical behavior for SmartGWT builds 4.0 and earlier
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    
    Parameters:
    
    suppressValidationErrorCallback - New suppressValidationErrorCallback value. Default value is false

  - setValidateOnChange
```
public DynamicForm setValidateOnChange(java.lang.Boolean validateOnChange)
```
    If true, form fields will be validated when each item's "change" handler is fired as well as when the entire form is submitted or validated.
    Note that this property can also be set at the item level or on each validator to enable finer granularity validation in response to user interaction. If true at the form or field level, validators not explicitly set with validateOnChange:false will be fired on change - displaying errors and rejecting the change on validation failure.
    
    Parameters:
    
    validateOnChange - New validateOnChange value. Default value is false
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls

  - setValidateOnExit
```
public DynamicForm setValidateOnExit(java.lang.Boolean validateOnExit)
```
    If true, form items will be validated when each item's "editorExit" handler is fired as well as when the entire form is submitted or validated.
    Note that this property can also be set at the item level to enable finer granularity validation in response to user interaction - if true at either level, validation will occur on editorExit.

    See Also:
    
    FormItem.getValidateOnExit()
  - setValidationURL
```
public DynamicForm setValidationURL(java.lang.String validationURL)
```
    validationURL can be set to do server-side validation against a different URL from where the form will ultimately save, as part of an incremental upgrade strategy for Struts-like applications.
    If set, calling submit() causes an RPC to be sent to this URL to perform 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. See the javadoc for DSResponse for details.
    
    Parameters:
    
    validationURL - New validationURL value. Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls
    
    See Also:
    
    saveData(), submit(), URL, Validation overview and related methods
  - getValidationURL

  - setValues
```
public DynamicForm setValues(java.util.Map values)
```
    An Object containing the initial values of the form as properties, where each propertyName is the name of a 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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    values - values for the form, or null to reset all items to default values. Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls
  - getValues
```
public java.util.Map getValues()
```
    An Object containing the initial values of the form as properties, where each propertyName is the name of a 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.

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.
    
    Returns:
    
    An Object containing the values of the form as properties, where each propertyName is the name of a form item in the form, and each property value is the value held by that form item.
    Note that modifying the returned object is not a supported way of adding or modifying values. Instead use setValue() or setValues(). Default value is null
  - setWrapHintText
```
public DynamicForm setWrapHintText(java.lang.Boolean wrapHintText)
                            throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    Should items within this form that are showing a FormItem.hint have the hint text wrap? May be overridden at the item level via FormItem.wrapHintText. If wrapHintText is unset on both the form and item, then the default behavior is not wrapping the hint.
    This setting does not apply to hints that are shown in field.
    
    Parameters:
    
    wrapHintText - New wrapHintText value. Default value is true
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created
    
    See Also:

    getMinHintWidth()
  - setWrapItemTitles
```
public DynamicForm setWrapItemTitles(java.lang.Boolean wrapItemTitles)
```
    Whether titles for form items should wrap. If not specified, titles will wrap by default. Can be overridden for individual items via FormItem.wrapTitle
    
    Parameters:
    
    wrapItemTitles - New wrapItemTitles value. Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls
    
    See Also:
    
    Form Titles

  - assignItemsTabPositions
```
public void assignItemsTabPositions()
```
    This method is called automatically by the DynamicForm when the set of items changes and ensures that items show up in the correct tab order positions.
    Makes use of sortItemsIntoTabOrder() to order the items and ensures the items are ordered in the TabIndexManager correctly.
  - cancel
```
public void cancel(DSRequest requestProperties)
```
    Deprecated. As of Smartclient version 13.0, due to the removal of Apache Struts.
    This method exists for clean integration with existing server frameworks that have a 'cancel' feature which typically clears session state associated with the form. When this method is called, an RPC is sent to the server. You must pass the appropriate params property in the request properties as required by your server framework.
    For example:
```
  DSRequest requestProperties = new DSRequest();
  Map params = new HashMap();
  params.put("CANCEL", "cancel");
  requestProperties.setParams(params);
  
```
    Note that no other form data is sent. By default the current top-level page is replaced with the reply. If you wish to ignore the server reply instead, include the following request properties:
```
  DSRequest requestProperties = new DSRequest();
  // other request property settings ...
  requestProperties.setIgnoreTimeout(true);
  requestProperties.setAttribute("target", null);
  
```
    Parameters:
    
    requestProperties - additional properties to set on the RPCRequest that will be issued
    
    See Also:

```
    If the form or valuesManager has associated userTask workflow task than notify it about cancelling the changes.
  - checkForValidationErrors
```
public java.util.Map checkForValidationErrors(ValidationStatusCallback callback)
```
    Performs silent validation of the current form values, like valuesAreValid(). In contrast to valuesAreValid(), this method allows checking for server-side errors, and finding out what the errors are.
    The callback must be passed unless server-side validation is being skipped, and If passed, it always fires, errors or not, firing synchronously if server validation is skipped.
    
    Parameters:
    
    callback - callback to invoke after validation is complete
    
    Returns:
    
    null if server-side validation is required, or no errors are present; otherwise, a Map of field names to the associated errors, for those fields that failed validation.

  - fetchRelatedData
```
public void fetchRelatedData(ListGridRecord record,
                             Canvas schema)
```
    Based on the relationship between the DataSource this component is bound to and the DataSource specified as the "schema" argument, call fetchData() to retrieve records in this data set that are related to the passed-in record.
    Relationships between DataSources are declared via DataSourceField.foreignKey.
    For example, given two related DataSources "orders" and "orderItems", where we want to fetch the "orderItems" that belong to a given "order". "orderItems" should declare a field that is a foreignKey to the "orders" table (for example, it might be named "orderId" with foreignKey="orders.id"). Then, to load the records related to a given "order", call fetchRelatedData() on the component bound to "orderItems", pass the "orders" DataSource as the "schema" and pass a record from the "orders" DataSource as the "record" argument.
    
    Parameters:
    
    record - DataSource record
    
    schema - schema of the DataSource record, or DataBoundComponent already bound to that schema

  - addFormSubmitFailedHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addFormSubmitFailedHandler(FormSubmitFailedHandler handler)
```
    Add a formSubmitFailed handler.
    Method called when an attempt to natively submit a form is unable to submit to the server. Default behavior is to display the DynamicForm.formSubmitFailedWarning in a warning dialog. The most common cause for this failure is that the user has typed an invalid file-path into an upload type field.
    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.
    Rather than throwing an exception on the client during submit(), normally all failures in native form submission are handled by the server. For further information, see File Uploading.

    the current event target item
  - getFocusItem
```
public FormItem getFocusItem()
```
    Return the current focus item for this form.
    This is the item which either currently has focus, or if focus is not currently within this form, would be given focus on a call to focus(). May return null if this form has never had focus, in which case a call to form.focus() would put focus into the first focusable item within the the form.
    Note that if focus is currently in a sub-item of a DateItem or RadioGroupItem, this method will return the parent item, not the sub-item.
    
    Returns:
    
    Current focus item within this form. May be null.

public AdvancedCriteria getValuesAsAdvancedCriteria()
```
    Return an AdvancedCriteria object based on the current set of values within this form.
    Similar to getValuesAsCriteria(), except the returned criteria object is guaranteed to be an AdvancedCriteria object, even if none of the form's fields has a specified FormItem.operator
    
    Returns:
    
    a AdvancedCriteria based on the form's current values

    Parameters:
    
    textMatchStyle - If specified the text match style will be used to generate the appropriate operator for per field criteria.
    
    Returns:
    
    a AdvancedCriteria based on the form's current values

  - addAsyncValidationReplyHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addAsyncValidationReplyHandler(AsyncValidationReplyHandler handler)
```
    Add a asyncValidationReply handler.
    Notification fired when an asynchronous validation completes.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addAsyncValidationReplyHandler in interface HasAsyncValidationReplyHandlers

  - addHiddenValidationErrorsHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addHiddenValidationErrorsHandler(HiddenValidationErrorsHandler handler)
```
    Add a hiddenValidationErrors handler.
    Method to display validation error messages for fields that are not currently visible in this form.
    This will be called when validation fails for
    - a hidden field in this form
    - if this form is databound, a datasource field with specified validators, for which we have no specified form item.
    Implement this to provide custom validation error handling for these fields.
    By default hidden validation errors will be logged as warnings in the developerConsole. Call HiddenValidationErrorsEvent.cancel() from within HiddenValidationErrorsHandler.onHiddenValidationErrors(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.events.HiddenValidationErrorsEvent) from this method to suppress that behavior.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addHiddenValidationErrorsHandler in interface HasHiddenValidationErrorsHandlers
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the hiddenValidationErrors handler
    
    Returns:
    
    HandlerRegistration used to remove this handler
  - hasErrors
```
public java.lang.Boolean hasErrors()
```
    Returns whether there are currently any errors visible to the user for this form, without performing validation.
    Note that validation errors are set up automatically by validation (see validate()), or may be explicitly set via setErrors() or setFieldErrors().
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the form currently has validation errors.
    
    See Also:
    
    Errors overview and related methods
  - hasFieldErrors
```
public java.lang.Boolean hasFieldErrors(java.lang.String fieldName)
```
    Returns whether there are currently any errors visible to the user for the specified field in this form, without performing any validation.
    Note that validation errors are set up automatically by validation (see validate()), or may be explicitly set via setErrors() or setFieldErrors().
    
    Parameters:
    
    fieldName - field to test for validation errors
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the form has outstanding errors for the field in question.
    
    See Also:

  - hideItem
```
public void hideItem(java.lang.String itemName)
```
    Hide a form item via FormItem.hide()
    
    Parameters:
    
    itemName - Name of the item to show
  - isFocused
```
public java.lang.Boolean isFocused()
```
    Returns true if this DynamicForm has the keyboard focus.
    Unlike standard canvases, for a DynamicForm this method will return true when keyboard focus is currently on one of the form's items.
    Note that in some cases the items of a form may be written directly into a different canvas. In this case the dynamicForm containing the items may not have been drawn on the page itself, but this method can still return true if one of the items has focus.
    
    Overrides:
    
    isFocused in class Canvas
    
    Returns:
    
    whether focus is currently in one of this form's items.
    
    See Also:
    
    Canvas.containsFocus()
  - isNewRecord
```
public java.lang.Boolean isNewRecord()
```
    Returns true if saveOperationType is currently "add". See saveOperationType.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether this form will use an "add" operation when saving
  - isPendingAsyncValidation
```
public java.lang.Boolean isPendingAsyncValidation()
```
    Is this component waiting for an asynchronous validation to complete? This method will return true after validate() is called on a component with server-side validators for some field(s), until the server responds.
    Note that the notification method DynamicForm.asyncValidationReply() will be fired when validation completes.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this widget has pending asynchronous validations in process
  - addItemChangeHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addItemChangeHandler(ItemChangeHandler handler)
```
    Add a itemChange handler.
    Handler fired when there is a change() event fired on a FormItem within this form.
    Fires after the change() handler on the FormItem itself, and only if the item did not cancel the change event and chooses to allow it to propagate to the form as a whole.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addItemChangeHandler in interface HasItemChangeHandlers
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the itemChange handler

    HandlerRegistration used to remove this handler
  - addItemChangedHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addItemChangedHandler(ItemChangedHandler handler)
```
    Add a itemChanged handler.
    Handler fired when there is a changed() event fired on a FormItem within this form.
    Fires after the change() handler on the FormItem itself, and only if the item did not cancel the change event and chooses to allow it to propagate to the form as a whole.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addItemChangedHandler in interface HasItemChangedHandlers
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the itemChanged handler

    HandlerRegistration used to remove this handler
  - addItemKeyPressHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addItemKeyPressHandler(ItemKeyPressHandler handler)
```
    Add a itemKeyPress handler.
    Handler fired when a FormItem within this form receives a keypress event.
    Fires after the keyPress handler on the FormItem itself, and only if the item did not cancel the event and chooses to allow it to propagate to the form as a whole.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addItemKeyPressHandler in interface HasItemKeyPressHandlers
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the itemKeyPress handler
    
    Returns:
    
    HandlerRegistration used to remove this handler
  - reset
```
public void reset()
```
    Resets values to the state it was the last time setValues() or rememberValues() was called. If neither of those methods has been called, values will be set back to their initial values at init time.
  - resetValues
```
public void resetValues()
```
    Same as reset().
  - saveData
```
public void saveData()
```
    Validate and then save the form's current values to the DataSource this form is bound to.
    If client-side validators are defined, they are executed first, and if any errors are found the save is aborted and the form will show the errors.
    If client-side validation passes, a DSRequest will be sent, exactly as though DataSource.addData() or DataSource.updateData() had been called with the form's values as data. The DSRequest.operationType will be either "update" or "add", depending on the current saveOperationType.
    On either a client-side or server-side validation failure, validation errors will be displayed in the form. Visible items within a DynamicForm will be redrawn to display errors. Validation failure occurring on hidden items, or DataSource fields with no associated form items may be handled via DynamicForm.hiddenValidationErrors() or ValuesManager.hiddenValidationErrors().
    In the case of a validation error, the callback will not be called by default since the form has already handled the failed save by displaying the validation errors to the user. If you need to do something additional in this case, you can set RPCRequest.willHandleError via the requestProperties parameter to force your callback to be invoked. However, first consider:
    - if you are trying to customize display of validation errors, there are several built-in modes and showErrors() may be a better place to put customizations.
    - for unrecoverable general errors (eg server is down), central error handling in invoked, so consider placing customizations there unless an unrecoverable error should be handled specially by this specific form.
    Note: If a form is to be cleared after saving data, we recommend clearing the form from the callback rather than calling saveData() and then synchronously clearing the form. This gives users a chance to view and respond to any validation errors returned by the server. It is also required to ensure forms containing an upload field, have a chance to upload the file to the server.

  - setValue
```
public void setValue(java.lang.String fieldName,
                     java.lang.String value)
```
    Sets the value for some field
    
    Parameters:
    
    fieldName - Name of the field being updated. A DataPath may be passed to set nested values
    
    value - New value.
  - setValuesAsCriteria
```
public void setValuesAsCriteria(Criterion criteria)
```
    This method will display the specified criteria in this form for editing. The criteria parameter may be a simple Criterion object or an AdvancedCriteria object.
    For simple criteria, the specified fieldName will be used to apply criteria to form items, as with a standard setValues() call.
    For AdvancedCriteria, behavior is as follows:
    - If the top level operator doesn't match the operator for this form, the entire criteria will be nested in an outer advanced criteria object with the appropriate operator.
    - Each criterion within AdvancedCriteria will be applied to a form item if FormItem.shouldSaveValue is true for the item and FormItem.canEditCriterion() returns true for the criterion in question. By default this method checks for a match with both the fieldName and operator of the criterion. The criterion is actually passed to the item for editing via the FormItemCriterionSetter's setCriterion() method. Note that these methods may be overridden for custom handling. Also note that the default FormItemCriterionSetter.setCriterion() implementation used by CanvasItem handles editing nested criteria via embedded dynamicForms.
    - Criteria which don't map to any form item will be stored directly on the form and recombined with the edited values from each item when getValuesAsCriteria() is called.
    Parameters:
    
    criteria - criteria to edit.

    Criteria Editing
  - showFieldErrors
```
public void showFieldErrors(java.lang.String fieldName)
```
    If this form has any outstanding validation errors for the field passed in, show them now. Called when field errors are set directly via setFieldErrors() / addFieldErrors() / clearFieldErrors().
    Default implementation simply falls through to showErrors().
    
    Parameters:
    
    fieldName - field to show errors for
    
    See Also:
    
    Errors overview and related methods
  - showItem
```
public void showItem(java.lang.String itemName)
```
    Show a form item via FormItem.show()
    
    Parameters:
    
    itemName - Name of the item to show
  - showItemContextMenu
```
public boolean showItemContextMenu(FormItem item)
```
    Called when the mouse is right-clicked in some formItem. If the implementation returns false, default browser behavior is cancelled.
    Note that it can be bad practice to cancel this method if the mouse is over the data element of an item, because doing so would replace the builtin browser-default menus that users may expect. You can use getEventItemInfo() to return an info object that can be used to determine which part of the item is under the mouse.
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the form item showing its context menu
    
    Returns:
    
    return false to cancel default behavior
  - sortItemsIntoTabOrder
```
public FormItem[] sortItemsIntoTabOrder()
```
    Helper method to take our specified items and sort them into their desired tab sequence
    Default behavior will respect explicitly specified tab index as a local tab index, otherwise just use specified order within the items array
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns an array containing our items in the desired tab sequence.
  - submit
```
public void submit()
```
    submit() is automatically called when a SubmitItem included in the form is clicked, or, if saveOnEnter is set, when the "Enter" key is pressed in a text input. Submit can also be manually called.
    If this form is part of a ValuesManager, this method will simply fall through to the submit method on the valuesManager. If not, and form.submitValues() exists, it will be called, and no further action will be taken.
    Otherwise, default behavior varies based on form.canSubmit: if canSubmit is false, saveData() will be called to handle saving via Smart GWT databinding.
    If canSubmit is true, the form will be submitted like an ordinary HTML form via submitForm().
    The parameters to submit() apply only if submit() will be calling saveData(). If you override submit(), you can safely ignore the parameters as Smart GWT framework code does not pass them.

  - submitForm
```
public void submitForm()
```
    Submits the form to the URL defined by action, identically to how a plain HTML <form> element would submit data, as either an HTTP GET or POST as specified by method.
    Notes:
    - this is used only in the very rare case that a form is used to submit data directly to a URL. Normal server contact is through DataBound Component Methods.
    - For this method to reliably include values for every field in the grid, canSubmit must be set to true
    - To submit values for fields that do not have an editor, use HiddenItem with a FormItem.defaultValue set. This is analogous to <input type="hidden"> in HTML forms.

  - addSubmitValuesHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addSubmitValuesHandler(SubmitValuesHandler handler)

    Triggered when a SubmitItem is included in the form is submitted and gets pressed.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addSubmitValuesHandler in interface HasSubmitValuesHandlers
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the submitValues handler

  - titleClipped
```
public boolean titleClipped(FormItem item)
```
    Is the title for the given form item clipped? The form item must have title clipping enabled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the form item.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the title is clipped; false otherwise.
    
    See Also:
    
    getClipItemTitles(), FormItem.getClipTitle()
  - validate
```
public boolean validate()
```
    Validates the form without submitting it, and redraws the form to display error messages if there are any validation errors. Returns true if validation succeeds, or false if validation fails.
    For databound forms, any DataSource field validators will be run even if there is no associated item in the form. Validators will also be run on hidden form items. In both these cases, validation failure can be handled via DynamicForm.hiddenValidationErrors().
    If this form has any fields which require server-side validation (see Validator.serverCondition) this will also be initialized. Such validation will occur asynchronously. Developers can use isPendingAsyncValidation() and DynamicForm.asyncValidationReply() to detect and respond to asynchronous validation.
    Note that for silent validation, valuesAreValid() (client-side) and checkForValidationErrors() (client and server-side) can be used instead.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if validation succeeds, or false if validation fails.
    
    See Also:
    
    ValuesManager.validate(), Validation overview and related methods, Type Example
  - validate
```
public boolean validate(boolean validateHiddenFields)
```
    Validates the form without submitting it, and redraws the form to display error messages if there are any validation errors. Returns true if validation succeeds, or false if validation fails.
    For databound forms, any DataSource field validators will be run even if there is no associated item in the form. Validators will also be run on hidden form items. In both these cases, validation failure can be handled via DynamicForm.hiddenValidationErrors().
    If this form has any fields which require server-side validation (see Validator.serverCondition) this will also be initialized. Such validation will occur asynchronously.

    Note that for silent validation, valuesAreValid() (client-side) and checkForValidationErrors() (client and server-side) can be used instead.
    
    Parameters:
    
    validateHiddenFields - Should validators be processed for non-visible fields such as dataSource fields with no associated item or fields with visibility set to "hidden"?
    
    Returns:
    
    true if validation succeeds, or false if validation fails.

  - validateData
```
public boolean validateData(DSCallback callback,
                            DSRequest requestProperties)
```
    validateData() can be used to check for errors in server-side validators without showing such errors to the user. Errors, if any, can be discovered by looking at the DSResponse object returned in the callback.
    validateData() will first call validate() to check for client-side errors, and will return false without contacting the server if errors are present. In this case, any errors detected client-side will be displayed; to avoid this and purely perform silent, server-side validation, you can use DataSource.validateData() with the form's current values. valuesAreValid() can be used in lieu of a call to validate() if silent checking of client-side errors is also desired.
    
    Parameters:
    
    callback - callback to invoke on completion
    
    requestProperties - additional properties to set on the DSRequest that will be issued
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the server will be contacted, false otherwise
    
    See Also:
    
    Validation overview and related methods
  - valuesAreValid
```
public boolean valuesAreValid(boolean validateHiddenFields)
```
    Method to determine whether the current form values would pass validation. This method operates client-side, without contacting the server, running validators on the form's values and returning a value indicating whether validation was successful.
    Unlike validate() this method will not store the errors on the DynamicForm or display them to the user.
    Note that checkForValidationErrors() allows for checking for server-side errors, and finding out what those errors are via a callback.
    
    Parameters:
    
    validateHiddenFields - Should validators be processed for non-visible fields such as dataSource fields with no associated item or fields with visibility set to "hidden"?
    
    Returns:
    
    Boolean value indicating validation success, or if returnErrors was specified, a map of field names to the associated errors, for those fields that failed validation, or null if validation succeeded.

  - addValuesChangedHandler
```
public com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerRegistration addValuesChangedHandler(ValuesChangedHandler handler)
```
    Add a valuesChanged handler.
    Handler fired when the entire set of values is replaced, as by a call to DynamicForm.setValues(), DynamicForm.resetValues() or DynamicForm.editRecord().
    Note that it is invalid to call such methods from this handler because doing so would result in an infinite loop.
    
    Specified by:
    
    addValuesChangedHandler in interface HasValuesChangedHandlers
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the valuesChanged handler
    
    Returns:
    
    HandlerRegistration used to remove this handler
  - valuesHaveChanged
```
public java.lang.Boolean valuesHaveChanged()
```
    Compares the current set of values with the values stored by the call to the rememberValues() method. rememberValues() runs when the form is initialized and on every call to setValues(). Returns true if the values have changed, and false otherwise.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if current values do not match remembered values
    
    See Also:
    
    getChangedValues(), getOldValues()
  - viewSelectedData
```
public void viewSelectedData(ListGrid selectionComponent)
```
    Displays the currently selected record(s) of the selectionComponent widget (typically a listGrid) in this component.
    For a DynamicForm the first record of the selection is shown after the form is placed into read-only mode. A subsequent call to editRecord() or similar will return the form to editability.
    Note that since field-level canEdit:true settings override the form-level canEdit setting the automatic change to read-only may not change every field.
    
    Parameters:
    
    selectionComponent - the ListGrid or TileGrid or ID of a ListGrid/TileGrid whose currently selected record(s) is/are to be viewed
    
    See Also:
    
    DataBound Component Methods

    Parameters:
    
    selectionComponent - the ListGrid or TileGrid or ID of a ListGrid/TileGrid whose currently selected record(s) is/are to be viewed

    DataBound Component Methods
  - viewSelectedData
```
public void viewSelectedData(java.lang.String selectionComponent)
```
    Displays the currently selected record(s) of the selectionComponent widget (typically a listGrid) in this component.

  - setDefaultProperties
```
public static void setDefaultProperties(DynamicForm dynamicFormProperties)
```
    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 set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. 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:
    
    dynamicFormProperties - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
    
    See Also:
    
    SGWTProperties
  - onInit
```
protected void onInit()
```
    Overrides:
    
    onInit in class Canvas
  - onInit_DynamicForm
```
protected void onInit_DynamicForm()
```
  - showErrors
```
public void showErrors()
```
    If this form has any outstanding validation errors, show them now.
    This method is called when the set of errors are changed by setErrors(java.util.Map, boolean) or validate().
    Default implementation will redraw the form to display error messages and call com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.DynamicForm#handleHiddenValidationErrors to display errors with no visible field.
    
    Note: This is an override point. This method may be overridden to perform custom display of validation errors.
  - setValuesManager
```
public DynamicForm setValuesManager(ValuesManager valuesManager)
                             throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    Adds this DynamicForm as a member of the specified valuesManager. After init, this method is functionally equivalent to valuesManager.addMember(form) and valuesManager.removeMember(form)
    Note : This is an advanced setting
    
    Overrides:
    
    setValuesManager in class Canvas
    
    Parameters:
    
    valuesManager - valuesManager Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DynamicForm instance, for chaining setter calls
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created
  - getValuesManager
```
public ValuesManager getValuesManager()
```
    Return the ValuesManager for this form.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getValuesManager in class Canvas
    
    Returns:
    
    the ValuesManager
  - setCellSpacing
```
public void setCellSpacing(int cellSpacing)
                    throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    Deprecated. use setCellPadding(int) instead
    
    Set the cellSpacing.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cellSpacing - the cellSpacing
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created
  - getCellSpacing
```
public int getCellSpacing()
```
    Deprecated. use getCellPadding() instead
    
    Return the cellSpacing.
    
    Returns:
    
    the cellSpacing
  - setUseAllDataSourceFields
```
public void setUseAllDataSourceFields(boolean useAllDataSourceFields)
```
    If true, the set of fields given by the "default binding" (see DataBoundComponent.fields) is used, with any fields specified in component.fields acting as overrides that can suppress or modify the display of individual fields, without having to list the entire set of fields that should be shown.
    If component.fields contains fields that are not found in the DataSource, they will be shown after the most recently referred to DataSource field. If the new fields appear first, they will be shown first.
    
    Parameters:
    
    useAllDataSourceFields - useAllDataSourceFields
  - getChangedValues
```
public java.util.Map getChangedValues()
```
    Returns all values within this DynamicForm that have changed since DynamicForm.rememberValues last ran. Note that DynamicForm.rememberValues runs on dynamicForm initialization, and with every call to DynamicForm.setValues so this will typically contain all values the user has explicitly edited since then.
    
    Returns:
    
    the values
  - getOldValues
```
public java.util.Map getOldValues()
```
    Returns the set of values last stored by DynamicForm.rememberValues. Note that rememberValues() is called automatically by DynamicForm.setValues, and on form initialization, so this typically contains all values as they were before the user edited them.
    
    Returns:
    
    the values
  - setValue

public void setItems(FormItem... items)
```
    Synonym for setFields(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.form.fields.FormItem[]).
    
    Parameters:
    
    items - the items
  - setFields
```
public void setFields(FormItem... fields)
```
    An array of field objects, specifying the order, layout, and types of each field in the DynamicForm. When both fields and dataSource are set, fields acts as a set of overrides as explained in DataBoundComponent fields.
    See Form Layout for information about how flags specified on the FormItems control how the form is laid out.
    
    Parameters:
    
    fields - form item fields
  - getFields
```
public FormItem[] getFields()
```
    Return the form fields.
    If the DynamicForm has not been created in JavaScript, this method will force it to be created. This is required to ensure that if the form has a specified dataSource, fields from the datasource are combined with fields specified explicitly on the component. It also ensures that if fields were specified explicitly as JavaScriptObjects using setFields(), the returned FormItems will be of the correct subclass.
    To retrieve the form fields as specified without forcing creation in JavaScript, use getFields(false)
    
    Returns:
    
    the form fields
  - getFields
```
public FormItem[] getFields(java.lang.Boolean forceCreation)
```
    Return the form fields. Passing a forceCreation parameter of false to this method will avoid creating the DynamicForm in in JavaScript if this has not yet happened.
    If you've installed the fields as JavaScriptObjects using setFields(), it's not recommended to call this method or otherwise try to access the fields as FormItems before the DynamicForm has been created, as this may result in the incorrect subclass of FormItem being built. Instead, use getFieldsAsJavaScriptObjects().
    If the situation is unavoidable, you can set the "editorType" attribute of the JavaScriptObject field to the desired subclass to ensure it will be used.
    Also, prior to creation any fields derived from a dataSource will not be returned from this method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    forceCreation - controls whether the DynamicForm should be created if this has not already happened
    
    Returns:
    
    the form fields
  - getItem
```
public FormItem getItem(java.lang.String name)
```
    Retrieve a FormItem in this form by name or dataPath. This method will always create its parent form in JavaScript.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name -
    
    Returns:
  - getField
```
public FormItem getField(java.lang.String name)
```
    Retrieve a field from this form by name.
    If the DynamicForm has not been created in JavaScript, this method will force it to be created. This is required to ensure that if the form has a specified dataSource, fields from the datasource are combined with fields specified explicitly on the component. It also ensures that if fields were specified explicitly as JavaScriptObjects using setFields(), the returned FormItem will be of the correct subclass.
    To retrieve a form field as specified without forcing creation in JavaScript, use getField(fieldName, false)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - name of the field to return
    
    Returns:
    
    FormItem with the appropriate name
  - getField
```
public FormItem getField(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.Boolean forceCreation)
```
    Retrieve a field from this form by name.
    Passing a forceCreation parameter of false to this method will avoid creating the DynamicForm in in JavaScript if this has not yet happened.
    See getFields(Boolean) for considerations about retrieving fields before a DynamicForm has been created in JavaScript
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - name of the field to return
    
    forceCreation - controls whether the DynamicForm should be created if this has not already happened
    
    Returns:
    
    FormItem with the appropriate name
  - getValueAsString
```
public java.lang.String getValueAsString(java.lang.String fieldName)
```
  - getValue
```
public java.lang.Object getValue(java.lang.String fieldName)
```
  - getEventItemInfo
```
public FormItemEventInfo getEventItemInfo(java.lang.String fieldName)
```
    If the current mouse event occurred over an item, or the title of an item in this dynamicForm, return details about where the event occurred.
    
    Parameters:
    
    fieldName - the field name
    
    Returns:
    
    the form item event info
  - editSelectedData
```
public void editSelectedData(ListGrid selectionComponent)
```
    Edit the record selected in the specified ListGrid.
    
    Updates the values of this editor to match the selected record's values.
    
    If this form has a dataSource, then saving via saveData() will use the "update" operation type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    selectionComponent - the List Grid whose currently selected record(s) is/are to be edited
    
    See Also:
    
    Grid-Form Update Example
  - editSelectedData
```
public void editSelectedData(java.lang.String listGridID)
```
    Edit the record selected in the specified ListGrid.
    
    Updates the values of this editor to match the selected record's values.
    
    If this form has a dataSource, then saving via saveData() will use the "update" operation type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    listGridID - the List Grid ID whose currently selected record(s) is/are to be edited
    
    See Also:
    
    Grid-Form Update Example
  - getValuesAsCriteria
```
public Criteria getValuesAsCriteria()
```
    Return search criteria based on the current set of values within this form. For simple criteria, each form item simply maps its value to it's fieldName.
    
    See FormItem.getCriterion() for details on how form items generate advanced criteria. Note that any values or criteria specified via DynamicForm.setValues() or DynamicForm.setValuesAsCriteria() which do not correspond to an item within the form will be combined with the live item values when criteria are generated.
    
    The returned criteria object can be used to filter data via methods such as ListGrid.fetchData(), DataSource.fetchData(), or, for more advanced usage, ResultSet.setCriteria().
    
    Note that any form field which the user has left blank is omitted as criteria, that is, a blank field is assumed to mean "allow any value for this field" and not "this field must be blank". Examples of empty values include a blank text field or SelectItem with an empty selection.
    
    Returns:
    
    the criteria
  - getValuesAsRecord
```
public Record getValuesAsRecord()
```
    Return the current set of values within this form as a Record.
    
    Returns:
    
    a Record object containing the form's current values
  - setColWidths
```
public void setColWidths(java.lang.Object... colWidths)
```
    An array of widths for the columns of items in this form's layout grid.
    If specified, these widths should sum to the total width of the form (form.width). If not specified, we assume every other column will contain form item titles, and so should have form.titleWidth, and all other columns should share the remaining space.
    Acceptable values for each element in the array are:
    - A number (e.g. 100) representing the number of pixel widths to allocate to a column.
    - A percent (e.g. 20%) representing the percentage of the total form.width to allocate to a column.
    - "*" (all) to allocate remaining width (form.width minus all specified column widths). Multiple columns can use "*", in which case remaining width is divided between all columns marked
    Parameters:
    
    colWidths - the column widths
  - getSaveOperationType
```
public DSOperationType getSaveOperationType(DSRequest requestProperties)
```
    Default DSOperationType to be performed when DynamicForm.saveData is called. This property is automatically set on a call to DynamicForm.editRecord or DynamicForm.editNewRecord, or may be set directly via DynamicForm.setSaveOperationType.
    If saveOperationType is unset, the form will heuristically determine whether an "add" or "update" operation is intended based on whether the primaryKey field is present and editable.
    
    Parameters:
    
    requestProperties - Optional DSRequest config properties for the save operation
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the DSOperationType to be performed when DynamicForm.saveData is called. Valid options are "add" or "update".
    If a DSRequest configuration object is passed in containing an explicit operationType this will be returned. Otherwise saveOperationType will be returned.
  - setTitleWidth
```
public void setTitleWidth(int titleWidth)
```
    The width in pixels allocated to the title of every item in this form. If you don't specify explicit colWidths, you can set this value to the string "*" to divide the usable space evenly between titles and fields.
    
    Parameters:
    
    titleWidth - the title width
  - setTitleWidth
```
public void setTitleWidth(java.lang.String titleWidth)
```
    The width in pixels allocated to the title of every item in this form. If you don't specify explicit colWidths, you can set this value to the string "*" to divide the usable space evenly between titles and fields.
    
    Parameters:
    
    titleWidth - the title width
  - setErrorOrientation
```
public void setErrorOrientation(FormErrorOrientation errorOrientation)
```
    If DynamicForm.showInlineErrors is true, where should the error icon and text appear relative to form items? Valid options are "top", "bottom", "left" or "right".
    May be overridden at the item level via FormItem.setErrorOrientation(com.smartgwt.client.types.FormErrorOrientation).
    
    Parameters:
    
    errorOrientation - the error orientation

```
public void setErrors(java.util.Map errors,
                      boolean showErrors)
```
    Setter for validation errors on this form. Errors passed in should be a Map in the format {fieldName1:errors, fieldName2:errors} Where the errors value may be either a string (single error message) or an array of strings (if multiple errors should be applied to the field in question).
    
    Parameters:
    
    errors - list of errors as a map with the field names as keys
    
    showErrors - If true redraw form to display errors now. Otherwise errors can be displayed by calling showErrors() Note: When the errors are shown, handleHiddenValidationErrors() will be fired for errors on hidden fields, or with no associated formItem.
  - getErrors
```
public java.util.Map getErrors()
```
    Returns the set of errors.
    
    Returns:

```
    Make a snapshot of the current set of values, so we can reset to them later. Creates a new object, then adds all non-method properties of values to the new object. Use resetValues() to revert to these values. Note that this method is automatically called when the values for this form are set programmatically via a call to DynamicForm.setValues().
    
    Returns:
    
    copy of current form values
  - setItemHoverFormatter
```
public void setItemHoverFormatter(FormItemHoverFormatter hoverFormatter)
```

  - setDataSource
```
public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource,
                          FormItem... fields)
```
    Bind to a DataSource.
    Binding to a DataSource means that the component will use the DataSource to provide default data for its fields.
    When binding to a new DataSource, if the component has any existing "fields" or has a dataset, these will be discarded by default, since it is assumed the new DataSource may represent a completely unrelated set of objects. If the old "fields" are still relevant, pass them to setDataSource().
    
    Parameters:
    
    dataSource -
    
    fields -
  - setSkipConversionOnMapping
```
public static void setSkipConversionOnMapping(java.lang.Boolean convert)
```
    Call this method passing true to skip conversion of the Javascript object to a Java Map when calling the mapDisplayToValue() API. By default, we do convert the value, and your methods will be returned a Java Map of native Java types. Passing true to this method switches off conversion, and your methods will be passed a JavaScriptObject
    
    Parameters:
    
    convert - Whether the mapDisplayTovalue() method should skip conversion of its return value to a native Java Map
  - getSkipConversionOnMapping
```
public static java.lang.Boolean getSkipConversionOnMapping()
```
    Returns true if the system is set to skip conversion of the Javascript object to a Java Map when calling the mapDisplayToValue() API. See setSkipConversionOnMapping(java.lang.Boolean)
    
    Returns:
    
    Boolean indicating whether the mapDisplayTovalue() method will skip conversion of its return value to a native Java Map
  - setDataPageSize
```
public DynamicForm setDataPageSize(int dataPageSize)
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    When using data paging, how many records to fetch at a time. If set to a positive integer, dataPageSize will override the default resultSize for ResultSets automatically created when you call fetchData() (and similarly for the resultSize of ResultTrees). The default of 0 means to just use the default page size of the data container.
    Note that regardless of the dataPageSize setting, a component will always fetch all of data that it needs to draw. Settings such as showAllRecords:true, drawAllMaxCells and drawAheadRatio can cause more rows than the configured dataPageSize to be fetched.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDataPageSize in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    dataPageSize - dataPageSize Default value is 0

```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    If set, detect and prevent duplicate records from being transferred to this component, either via drag and drop or via DataBoundComponent.transferSelectedData(com.smartgwt.client.widgets.DataBoundComponent). When a duplicate transfer is detected, a dialog will appear showing the duplicateDragMessage.
    If the component either does not have a DataSource or has a DataSource with no primaryKey declared, duplicate checking is off by default. If duplicate checking is enabled, it looks for an existing record in the dataset that has all of the properties of the dragged record, and considers that a duplicate.
    For DragDataAction:"copy" where the target DataSource is related to the source DataSource by foreignKey, a duplicate means that the target list, as filtered by the current criteria, already has a record whose value for the foreignKey field matches the primaryKey of the record being transferred.
    For example, consider dragging "employees" to "teams", where "teams" has a field "teams.employeeId" which is a foreignKey pointing to "employees.id", and the target grid has search criteria causing it to show all the members of one team. A duplicate - adding an employee to the same team twice - is when the target grid's dataset contains an record with "employeeId" matching the "id" field of the dropped employee.

    When an item is dropped on this component, and addDropValues is true and both the source and target widgets are databound, either to the same DataSource or to different DataSources that are related via a foreign key, this object provides the "drop values" that Smart GWT will apply to the dropped object before updating it.
    If this property is not defined, Smart GWT defaults to returning the selection criteria currently in place for this component. Thus, any databound items (for example, rows from other grids bound to the same DataSource) dropped on the grid will, by default, be subjected to an update that makes them conform to the grid's current filter criteria.
    Note : This is an advanced setting

    getDropValues in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns:
    Returns the "drop values" to apply to a record dropped on this component prior to update. Only applicable to databound components - see dropValues for more details. If multiple records are being dropped, this method is called for each of them in turn.
    This method returns the following:
    
    Nothing, if addDropValues is false
    
    dropValues, if that property is set. If the component's criteria object is applicable (as explained in the next item), it is merged into dropValues, with properties in dropValues taking precedence.
    
    The component's criteria object, if the most recent textMatchStyle for the component was "exact" and it is simple criteria (ie, not an AdvancedCriteria object)
    
    Otherwise nothing
    
    You can override this method if you need more complex setting of drop values than can be provided by simply supplying a dropValues object.

```
public DynamicForm setUseFlatFields(java.lang.Boolean useFlatFields)
                             throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    The 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.
    Specified by:
    
    setUseFlatFields in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    useFlatFields - useFlatFields Default value is null
    
    Returns:
    
    DataBoundComponent instance, for chaining setter calls
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created
  - getUseFlatFields
```
public java.lang.Boolean getUseFlatFields()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    The 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.

    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Optional identifier for saved searches that should be applied to this component.
    By default SavedSearches are associated with a component via its local ID and DataSource ID. This property allows developers to override this behavior and explicitly associate a component with a set of saved searches. This can provide a couple of benefits:
    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 component on a page. This may be valueable for cases where the same information from the same dataSource is presented to users in multiple places.
    Note: This is an advanced setting.

  - getDragData
```
public Record[] getDragData()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    During a drag-and-drop interaction, this method returns the set of records being dragged out of the component. In the default implementation, this is the list of currently selected records.
    This method is consulted by ListGrid.willAcceptDrop().
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDragData in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    Array of Records that are currently selected.
  - transferSelectedData
```
public void transferSelectedData(DataBoundComponent source)
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Simulates a drag / drop type transfer of the selected records in some other component to this component, without requiring any user interaction. This method acts on the dropped records exactly as if they had been dropped in an actual drag / drop interaction, including any special databound behavior invoked by calling DataBoundComponent.getDropValues() for each dropped record.
    To transfer all data in, for example, a ListGrid, call grid.selection.selectAll() first.
    Note that drag/drop type transfers of records between components are asynchronous operations: Smart GWT may need to perform server turnarounds to establish whether dropped records already exist in the target component. Therefore, it is possible to issue a call to transferSelectedData() and/or the drop() method of a databound component whilst a transfer is still active. When this happens, Smart GWT adds the second and subsequent transfer requests to a queue and runs them one after the other. If you want to be notified when a transfer process has actually completed, use addDropCompleteHandler. See the Dragging documentation for an overview of list grid drag/drop data transfer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    transferSelectedData in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - source component from which the records will be tranferred

  - fetchData
```
public void fetchData()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Retrieves data from the DataSource that matches the specified criteria.
    When fetchData() is first called, if data has not already been provided via setData(), this method will create a ResultSet, which will be configured based on component settings such as fetchOperation and dataPageSize, as well as the general purpose dataProperties. The created ResultSet will automatically send a DSRequest to retrieve data from the dataSource, and from then on will automatically manage paging through large datasets, as well as performing filtering and sorting operations inside the browser when possible - see the ResultSet docs for details.
    NOTE: do not use both autoFetchData and a call to fetchData() - this may result in two DSRequests to fetch data. Use either autoFetchData and setAutoFetchCriteria() or a manual call to fetchData() passing criteria.
    Whether a ResultSet was automatically created or provided via setData(), subsequent calls to fetchData() will simply call resultSet.setCriteria().
    Changes to criteria may or may not result in a DSRequest to the server due to client-side filtering. You can call willFetchData(criteria) to determine if new criteria will result in a server fetch.
    If you need to force data to be re-fetched, you can call invalidateCache() and new data will automatically be fetched from the server using the current criteria and sort direction. NOTE: when using invalidateCache() there is no need to also call fetchData() and in fact this could produce unexpected results.
    This method takes an optional callback parameter (set to a DSCallback) to fire when the fetch completes. Note that this callback will not fire if no server fetch is performed. In this case the data is updated synchronously, so as soon as this method completes you can interact with the new data. If necessary, you can use resultSet.willFetchData() to determine whether or not a server fetch will occur when fetchData() is called with new criteria.
    In addition to the callback parameter for this method, developers can use resultSet.addDataArrivedHandler to be notified every time data is loaded.

    Retrieves data that matches the provided criteria and displays the matching data in this component.
    This method behaves exactly like ListGrid.fetchData() except that textMatchStyle is automatically set to "substring" so that String-valued fields are matched by case-insensitive substring comparison.

    requestProperties - for databound components only - optional additional properties to set on the DSRequest that will be issued
  - invalidateCache
```
public void invalidateCache()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Invalidate the current data cache for this databound component via a call to the dataset's invalidateCache() method, for example, ResultSet.invalidateCache().
    NOTE: there is no need to call invalidateCache() when a save operation is performed on a DataSource. Automatic cache synchronization features will automatically update caches - see ResultSet for details. If automatic cache synchronization isn't working, troubleshoot the problem using the steps suggested in the FAQ rather than just calling invalidateCache(). Calling invalidateCache() unnecessarily causes extra server load and added code complexity.
    Calling invalidateCache() will automatically cause a new fetch to be performed with the current set of criteria if data had been previously fetched and the component is currently drawn with data visible - there is no need to manually call fetchData() after invalidateCache() and this could result in duplicate fetches.
    While data is being re-loaded after a call to invalidateCache(), the widget is in a state similar to initial data load - it doesn't know the total length of the dataset and any APIs that act on records or row indices will necessarily fail and should not be called. To detect that the widget is in this state, call ResultSet.lengthIsKnown().
    invalidateCache() only has an effect if this component's dataset is a data manager class that manages a cache (eg ResultSet or ResultTree). If data was provided as a simple Array or List, invalidateCache() does nothing.

```
public ResultSet getResultSet()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Return the underlying data of this DataBoundComponent as a ResultSet.
    Note that this method should only be called after initial data has been fetched by this DataBoundComponent.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getResultSet in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    ResultSet, or null if the underlying data is not a ResultSet

  - getRecordList
```
public RecordList getRecordList()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    Return the underlying data of this DataBoundComponent as a RecordList.
    Depending on the component configuration, the actual JavaScript instance of the returned RecordList may be one of several types:
    - If the component is not bound to a DataSource, the instance is generally an Array of Record.
    - If the component is bound to a DataSource, the instance is a ResultSet.
    - If the component is a grouped ListGrid, the instance is a Tree. To access the ungrouped record list regardless of grouping status, use
      isGrouped() ? getOriginalRecordList() : getRecordList()
    - If the component is a TreeGrid, the instance is a ResultTree.
    The underlying type determines the structure of the returned data. An Array or ResultSet represents a list of records, but a Tree or ResultTree represents a list of open rows in the tree, including groups or other nodes which contain no records.
    Specified by:
    
    getRecordList in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    the RecordList

public void exportData(DSRequest requestProperties,
                       RPCCallback callback)
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Uses a "fetch" operation on the current DataSource to retrieve data that matches the current filter and sort criteria for this component, then exports the resulting data to a file or window in the requested format.
    A variety of DSRequest settings, such as exportAs and exportFilename, affect the exporting process: see exportResults for further detail.
    Note that data exported via this method does not include any client-side formatting and relies on both the Smart GWT server and server-side DataSources. To export client-data with formatters applied, see exportClientData, which still requires the Smart GWT server but does not rely on server-side DataSources.
    For more information on exporting data, see DataSource.exportData.
    
    Specified by:
    
    exportData in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    requestProperties - additional properties to set on DSRequest that will be issued
    
    callback - Optional callback. Note that this parameter only applies if you specify exportToClient: false in the request properties, because file downloads don't provide ordinary framework callbacks

  - getDeepCloneOnEdit
```
public java.lang.Boolean getDeepCloneOnEdit()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Before we start editing values in this DataBoundComponent, should we perform a deep clone of the underlying values. See DataSource.getDeepCloneOnEdit() for details of what this means.
    If this value is not explicitly set, it defaults to the DataSource deepCloneOnEdit value. This value can also be overridden per-field with DataSourceField.setDeepCloneOnEdit(java.lang.Boolean).
    Like the other deepCloneOnEdit settings, this flag only has an effect if you are editing a values object that contains nested objects or arrays, using Canvas.setDataPath(java.lang.String)

  - setFields
```
public DynamicForm setFields(com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject... fields)
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Field setter variant (alternative to setFields(FormItem...), setFields(ListGridField...), etc.) that will accept an array of JavaScriptObject, rather than an array of SmartGWT Java wrappers of the field class type (e.g. FormItem, ListGridField, etc.) This is an advanced method and only for cases where you have the JavaScriptObject for each field but want to avoid having to create each associated SmartGWT Java wrapper.
    Note: use toArray() to create a Java array of JavaScriptObject if you only have the array itself as a single JavaScriptObject.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setFields in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    fields - the component fields
    
    Returns:
    
    DataBoundComponent instance, for chaining setter calls
  - getFieldsAsJavaScriptObjects
```
public com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject[] getFieldsAsJavaScriptObjects()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Return the fields as JavaScriptObjects rather than as SmartGWT Java wrappers of the field class type (e.g. FormItem, ListGridField, etc.) This avoids building the SmartGWT Java wrappers for the fields in situations where they aren't needed - and for FormItems in particular - where there may not be enough information to determine the correct subclass, such as before the SmartClient instance underlying the DynamicForm has been created.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getFieldsAsJavaScriptObjects in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    the component fields

  - transferRecords
```
public void transferRecords(Record[] records,
                            Record targetRecord,
                            java.lang.Integer index,
                            Canvas sourceWidget,
                            TransferRecordsCallback callback)
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Transfer a list of Records from another component (does not have to be a databound component) into this component. This method is only applicable to list-type components, such as ListGrid or com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tile.TileGridTileGrid. Notably, it does not apply to TreeGrid; the equivalent for treeGrids is transferNodes.
    This method implements the automatic drag-copy and drag-move behaviors of components like ListGrid, and calling it is equivalent to completing a drag and drop of the dropRecords (the default record drop behavior is simply to call transferRecords(), passing in the dropped nodes)
    Note that this method is asynchronous - it may need to perform server turnarounds to prevent duplicates in the target component's data. If you wish to be notified when the transfer process has completed, you can either pass a non-null callback to this method or add a DropCompleteHandler to this component.
    See also transferSelectedData()
    
    Specified by:
    
    transferRecords in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    records - Recordss to transfer to this component
    
    targetRecord - The target record (eg, of a drop interaction), for context
    
    index - Insert point relative to the target record for the transferred records
    
    sourceWidget - The databound or non-databound component from which the records are to be transferred.
    
    callback - optional TransferRecordsCallback to be fired when the transfer process has completed (pass null if your code does not need to be called back). The callback will be passed the list of records actually transferred to this component
  - setDragDataCustomizer
```
public DynamicForm setDragDataCustomizer(DragDataCustomizer customizer)
```
    During a drag-and-drop interaction, this method returns the set of records being dragged out of the component. In the default implementation, this is the list of currently selected records.
    This method is consulted by willAcceptDrop().
    
    Parameters:
    
    DragDataCustomizer - customizer
    
    Returns:
    
    DataBoundComponent instance, for chaining setter calls
  - getSort
```
public SortSpecifier[] getSort()
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns the current SortSpecifiers for this component. Will return null if this component has never been sorted, or the underlying SmartClient widget does not exist.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSort in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    current sort specifiers for this component (null if unsorted or no SC widget)
  - setSort
```
public DynamicForm setSort(SortSpecifier... sortSpecifiers)
```
    Description copied from interface: DataBoundComponent
    
    Sort the component on one or more fields.
    Pass in an array of SortSpecifiers to have the component's data sorted by the fields in each specifier.property and in the directions specified. The component can be sorted by any combination of fields, including fields specified in the fields array and unused fields from the underlying dataSource, if there is one.
    If setSort() is called on a component which doesn't yet have a SmartClient widget, the widget will be created. If autoFetchData is set and a DataSource has been set, this will result in data being fetched.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setSort in interface DataBoundComponent
    
    Parameters:
    
    sortSpecifiers - Array of SortSpecifier objects
  - setLogicalStructure
```
public com.smartgwt.logicalstructure.core.LogicalStructureObject setLogicalStructure(com.smartgwt.logicalstructure.widgets.form.DynamicFormLogicalStructure s)
```
    Setter implementing the LogicalStructure interface, which supports Eclipse's logical structure debugging facility.
  - getLogicalStructure
```
public com.smartgwt.logicalstructure.core.LogicalStructureObject getLogicalStructure()
```
    Getter implementing the LogicalStructure interface, which supports Eclipse's logical structure debugging facility.
