Example:
Let’s build and execute the “TextWidgetDef” example.
- Create a Form definition called “TextWidgetDef.”
- Drag a “BootstrapGrid, Label, Text, and Submit” control to the canvas and arrange them as shown below.
- Double-click the “Text” widget to configure the “Settings” properties. Provide a name for the control and overlay text for the placeholder. Select the data type from the drop-down list. Provide the default text value. Select the checkbox “Required” for mandatory input. Select the checkbox to hide the control and make it read-only during runtime. Provide the value to accept the maximum characters. Click the Save button.
- The Currency data type will render a format input control as shown below. Provide the mask format to regulate the input value (for example: ###,###.##)
- The Phone data type will render a format input control, as shown below. Provide the mask format to regulate the input value.
- The SNN data type will render a format input control, as shown below. Provide the mask format to regulate the input value (for example: ###-##-####)
- The Regular Expression data type shall render a format input control as shown below. Provide the mask format to regulate the input value (for example: /^([a-zA-Z]{3,10})$/)
- The Custom Format data type shall render the input control as shown below. Provide the mask format to regulate the user input (for example: AA-##-aa (or) aa AAA ### aa). The case represents a single letter (A or a) and a single-digit number (#). A space and non-numeric symbols like (-\/?*&^#@!) can be used as separators. The sample matching input for the above format is AB-12-ab (or) dx ABC 123 aa.
- Double-click the “Text” widget to configure the “Styling” properties. Select the UI width size from the drop-down list (mini, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large). Provide the syntax for the CSS styles. Select the classes to apply from the global drop-down list.
- Double-click the “Text” widget to configure the “Other” properties. Provide the tool tip text information. Click the Save button.
- Double-click the “Text” widget 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 with the default value. Provide the user input. The text value exceeding 10 characters is not accepted as per the configuration. Click the Submit button to complete.
