Re: ArrayField FieldWidget.State

Question

Hello Joseph,
you get old. You don't see additional lines of code which makes
the whole ArrayField FS_UPDATE and FS_INACTIVE. After this lines the
original state of every widget is overridden :-) .
Sorry for this unnecessary questions and answers :-))))

Hello forte-users,
i have a problem using ArrayField and set the state of
direct mapped FieldWidget's.
Dependent on a flag in the array i would set the (e.g.) 6th field-state to
FS_INACTIVE or FS_UPDATE. To do this with an normal DataType like
DecimalNullable worked well. I use:
specialField : FieldWidget;
for row in 1 to ....
specialField=af.BodyGrid.GetChildInCell(row=row,column=6); // Get the widget
end for;
and dependent on the flag I set the state:
if flag[row] then
specialField.State=FS_UPDATE;
else
specialField.State=FS_INACTIVE;
end if;
But now i need a virtual attribute of type integer instead of the
DecimalNullable and i implement it well. But now the mechanism to set the
usage-state does not work anymore.
1.How do you implement ArrayField's with field-dependent state's ?
I use also the same mechanism to set the NextTabField and PrevTabField
property but if a widget is outside the visible grid there is no chance to do
this.
2. Have someone implement a special Prev-/NextTabField attribute
written which is able to set the Prev-/NextTabField also outside the visible
part of the ArrayField? (To slide within tool-code down and up does not
help. The last setting on a slided AF is the general setting for the others.
Maybe the MatrixField is the problem).

Answer 1

Xavier,
Create a method called GetWidgetState on your window which contains
the following:
GetWidgetState(w:fieldwidget):
if w.state = FS_USAGESTATE then
return w.GetStateForUsage(self.window.usage);
else
return w.state;
end if;
By default, a widget state equals FS_USAGESTATE(0) which is the
state set in the window workshop for the particular window usage.
Unless you specifically change the state, it will always be 0 and you
have to fetch the actual state using GetStateForUsage on the widget.
Hope this helps.

Hi every one
I'm looking for something to check the current state of the fieldWidget.
The State attribute (integer) determines how a widget reacts to user
actions and how it is displayed. It's a virtual attribute. No problem to
setting it with variable, but I don't find the way to test it like :
myFieldWidget.State <> FS_INACTIVE
(myFieldWidget.State & FS_INVISIBLE) <> 0
but this doesn't work
could you help me...?
Thank
Xavier Michel
