Initialize all context values at one shot

Question

Hi,
Is there a way i can initialize all the context values of a view. I mean when i click "Reset" all the values should be cleared at one shot instead of setting each value attribute to space.

Hi Aditya,
Whether you use wdContext.invalidate() or wdContext.reset(), all the elements of the entire context will be deleted and hence the table will be disbaled since it's datasource node has no elements. Each row of a table corresponds to an element in it's datasource node. If you create n elements for the node, those many rows will be enabled. So when you remove all the elements of the node, all the rows of the table will also be disbaled. So you have two options here:
1) After removing the elements, create as many of them as required with the default values.
2) Instead of removing the elments, explicitly access each attribute and set it's value to null or space. It will involve just a for loop:
IPrivate<View_name>.I<node_name>Element elmt;
for(int i=0;i<wdContext.node<node_name>().size();i++)
elmt = wdContext. node<node_name>().get<node_name>ElementAt(i);
elmt.set<parameter1>("");
elmt.set<parameter2>("");
Hope this helps,

Nibu.
