Example:

Let’s build and execute the “ButtonDef” example.  

  • Create a Form definition called “ButtonDef.” Navigate to Forms - Definitions in the left pane to create it. On the Form Definitions page, select the Actions - Create menu option. Check with your FlowWright administrator if you don't have access to generate Form Definitions. 

 

  • Drag a “Button” widget to the canvas.

 

  • Double-click the “Button” widget to open the “Settings” tab. Select the button type from the drop-down list (Default, Primary, Info, Success, Warning, Danger, and Inverse). The widget name is auto-populated and cannot be changed. Enter the text for the button label. Select the checkbox to hide the button or mark it as read-only at runtime. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Select one of the button types from the drop-down list. The UI appearance differs for each button type. 

 

  • Double-click the widget to open the “Styling” tab. Enter the CSS syntax to enhance the style—the border is emphasized with a 5px solid grey color, as shown below. Select the class options from the drop-down list to apply to HTML elements. 

 

  • Double-click the widget to configure the “Other” tab. Then, enter the text to be rendered as a tooltip.  

 

  • Double-click the control to configure the “Globalize” properties. The application will alert you if there is nothing to globalize, as shown below. Otherwise, select a language from the drop-down list, then click the Translate button. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Save the Form definition. Select Actions - Create Form Instance from the menu. Generate a new Form instance, then select the check box to edit it. Check with your FlowWright administrator if you don't have access to generate Form instances.

 

  • The Form is rendered for the user as shown below.
