Example:

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

  • Create a Form definition called “ButtonDef.”
  • Drag a “Button” widget to the canvas.

 

  • Double-click the “Button” widget to configure 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. Provide the text information as a button label. Select the checkbox to hide or mark the button as read-only during runtime. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Select one of the button types from the drop-down list. The UI appearances are different for each of these button types. 

 

  • Double-click the widget to configure the “Styling” tab. Provide the CSS style 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, provide the text information 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 the language from the drop-down list and click the Translate button. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Save the Form definition. Select Actions - Create Form Instance menu option. Generate a new Form instance and select the check box to edit this Form instance.

 

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