Design

 

 

Example: 

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

  • Create a Form definition called “FileListfromFormDef.”
  • Drag a “BootstrapGrid, FileListfromForm, and Submit” control to the canvas and arrange them as shown below.

 

  • Double-click the “FileListfromForm” widget to configure the “Settings” properties. The application provides the name for the control. Provide an existing Form Instance ID  and the File Control ID. Select the “Allow” checkbox to remove files from the list during runtime. Select the “Hide” checkbox to hide this widget during runtime. Select the “Read-Only” checkbox to view the list and not make any selection. Click the Save button. 

 

  • For example, a list of files from an existing Form Instance is rendered below. 

 

  • Select the “Globalize” tab. 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 below.  Use the red (x) icon to remove the file from the list. Click the Submit button to complete the Form.
