A dynaForm (dynamic form) is a specialized type of <class>form</class> that displays form whose controls are drawn automatically based on the contents of <class>dataController</class> associated with the form.
For example:
<dataController id="data" modelClass="ZENMVC.Person"> <dynaForm controllerId="data" injectControls="before"> <button caption="Save"> </dynaForm>
In this case, a form will be displayed with controls for each of the properties in the class <class>ZENMVC.Person</class>.
It is also possible to use dynaForm without a dataController. In this case you must provide an <property>OnGetPropertyInfo</property> server-side callback method to specify the list of controls to display.
| OnGetPropertyInfo |
(Optional) Name of Server-side callback method called just before
dynamic components are injected into this form.
This callback method behaves in much the same way as the <method>OnGetPropertyInfo</method> method of the <class>ZEN.DataModel.ObjectDataModel</class> class. This must be the name of a server-only method in the page class that contains this form component.
For example:
Method GetInfo(pIndex As Integer,ByRef pInfo As String,pModelId As String) As Status { // subscript of pInfo is the logical name of the control // the value of pInfo(name) is the sequence number (ordinal position of the control). // the value of pInfo(name,"%type") is the control type to display Set pInfo("Field1") = pIndex Set pInfo("Field1","%type") = "textarea"
// the value of pInfo(name,"label") is the control label to display Set pInfo("Field2") = pIndex + 1 Set pInfo("Field2","label") = "Field 2" Quit $$$OK }
| defaultGroupId |
If defined, this is the id of a group within this form in which.
the dynamically created controls will be injected.
| injectControls |
Specifies where in the form the automatically created controls are placed.
relative to other controls that have been manually placed within the form:
This is useful for cases where the dynaForm may define buttons and other controls in addition to those that are automatically created.
If <property>defaultGroupId</property> is defined, then this is ignored.
