Example: 

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

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

 

  • Double-click the “FileListfromForm” widget to configure the “Settings” properties. The application provides the control's name. Enter an existing Form Instance ID and the File Control ID. Select the “Allow” checkbox to remove files from the list at runtime. Select the “Hide” checkbox to hide this widget at runtime. Select the “Read-Only” checkbox to view the list without making any selection. Click the Save button. 

 

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

 

  • Select the “Globalize” tab. The application will notify you if there is nothing to globalize, as shown below. Otherwise, select the language from the drop-down list, then click the Translate button. Click the Save button. 

 

  • Save the Form definition. Select Actions > Create Form Instance. Generate a new Form instance, then select the check box to edit it.

 

  • The Form is displayed to the user as follows. Use the red (x) icon to remove the file from the list. Click the Submit button to complete the Form.
