Grouping data entries - XmlInputGroup
XMLNuke allows data entry fields to be grouped together. This way it is possible to modify the behavior of the presentation of these fields, with a field to the side of another instead of below another, in addition to hiding fields.
Example of grouping in PHP
$editform = new XmlFormCollection($this->_context, "module:sample", "Formulário");
$inputGroup = new XmlInputGroup($this->_context, "group", false);
$list = new XmlEasyList(EasyListType::SELECTLIST, "name1", "Caption1", $varArray);
$list->setRequired(true);
$inputGroup->addXmlnukeObject($list);
$txt = new XmlInputTextBox("Caption2", "name2", "", 15);
$txt->setMaxLength(15);
$txt->setRequired(true);
$inputGroup->addXmlnukeObject($txt);
$editform->addXmlnukeObject($inputGroup);
Example of grouping in CSharp
XmlFormCollection form = new XmlFormCollection(this._context, "module:sample", "Formulário");
XmlInputGroup inputGroup = new XmlInputGroup(this._context, "group", false);
XmlEasyList list = new XmlEasyList(EasyListType.SELECTLIST, "name1", "Caption1", arrValues);
list.setRequired(true);
inputGroup.addXmlnukeObject(list);
XmlInputTextBox txt = new XmlInputTextBox("Caption2", "name2", "", 15);
txt.setMaxLength(15);
txt.setRequired(true);
inputGroup.addXmlnukeObject(txt);
form.addXmlnukeObject(inputGroup);
Note that instead of adding objects for data entry to the XMLFormCollection, these were added to a group, and this group was added to the object of the form.
XmlInputGroup has the following arguments:
- Context ? the context of XMLNuke
- Name ? contains the name of that group. In the default transformation, XMLNuke will create a JavaScript with the name showHide_[NAME](true/false) which will allow the group inside to be hidden or displayed based on a JavaScript command.
- Line Break ? If TRUE, the field will be below the other. If FALSE, the field will be to the side of the other.
- CanHide ? If TRUE, allows the user to hide or show the defined group.
- Caption: Defines a label for this group. it is only displayed with CanHide = true.
