Expert attributes

Expert attributes provide additional functions to the Intrexx standard ones. You can find out how to integrate Expert attributes into application elements here.

accesskey

Function: Key combination for jumping to input elements or buttons
Data type: text
Default value: Empty
Possible values: Strings

By using a key combination made from the ALT key and the character entered as the value here, you can jump directly to the current edit element or button. For example, on a Windows system, if 1 is entered, the combination ALT+1 will jump to the edit element or button. The action of the button will be triggered in this case. We recommend avoiding using key combinations from your browser. If possible, try to only use combinations with the numbers 0-9. Can be used for the following elements:

File selection
Edit field
Checkbox
Listbox
Option field
Button
Text area

accordion

Function: Show/Hide groupings in the free layout table
Data type: boolean
Default value: false
Possible values: true, false

Applies to buttons with the action "Show/Hide" on view pages which include a free layout table. The value "true" means that only one grouping can be opened at any time. The previously opened grouping will be closed automatically. Can be used for the following elements:

Button

additionalcheck

Function: Hides or shows buttons when loading a page depending on a value
Data type: text
Default value: Empty
Possible values: Velocity commands, request parameters

An operator and comparative value can be specified with the attribute as additional attributes (type text, Default value ==). The operator is specified with the attribute "opadditionalcheck". Possible operators are ==, !=, <, > depending on the data type of the comparative value. The comparative value is specified with the attribute "valueadditionalcheck". The attribute "valueintadditionalcheck" must be specified for comparisons with integer data type, and the attribute "valuebooleanadditionalcheck" for boolean values, instead of "valueadditionalcheck". The button will only be shown if the returned value is 1 (the condition is met). Example: If "$Loader.getDataCollection().getAttribute('textviewcontrol123456')" is set as the value of the additionalcheck attribute, a comparison is made with the current value of an edit field. The attribute "opadditionalcheck" can be left out in this case, because they are being compared for the identical value (default). The desired value, with which the comparison should be made, can be entered in the value of the attribute "valueadditionalcheck". As soon as the edit field shows this value, the configured button will be shown. Please note that the name of the element whose current value is used for the comparison must be re-entered after importing the application because all of the elements' name are modified provided that the setting "Update existing application" is not selected. Even if the result is "false", buttons can continue to be shown with the attribute "text-if-addcheck-false" without meaning that clicking on such a button jumps to the target destination. Can be used for the following elements:

If, for example, the file is in the directory external/htmlroot/css/test/test.css, the attribute is called "css-file1" and the value is "test/test.css". To design a free layout table, an individual CSS file can be implemented which must be located in the portal directory external/htmlroot/css/custom. As a template, the file external/htmlroot/css/shapedtable.css should be copied. The relevant style classes are then created and can be used as required. Even and odd rows must be designed using the attributes "evenrowclass" and "oddrowclass". Both of these attributes must be applied in combination.

In order to overwrite the values of existing data records, an additional expert attribute needs to be defined: customdefaultOverwrite = true. For drop-down lists, list boxes and multiple selections, the default entry can be defined dynamically using "customdefault". If you would like to perform a comparison with the text instead of with the value (default setting), the additional attribute "compareText", type boolean, must be used with the value "true". If a drop-down list, list box or multiple selection is used for resource lists, such company vehicles or rooms, the ID of the resource can be used with the value "$!Request.get('rq_GroupId')" to preselect the resource, which is selected in resource diagram, in the list. Please note that names of elements, which are used in the attribute "customdefault", need to be updated when the application is imported. If the option "Update existing applications" is not selected during the import, the names of the elements will be changed in the new application. Can be used for the following elements:

If the attribute's value is true, the application.js is always included on application pages - if there are user-defined scripts in the application. If the application page is in a portlet, the application.js is only included if an event with script is defined on precisely this page. This behavior can be overruled with the include-application-script attribute. For include-application-script=false, the potentially available application.js is not included. This value should only be set if there are not any scripts on this page which use functions of application.js. Can be used for the following elements:

jsobject

Function: Access values of columns and rows in tables
Data type: boolean
Default value: false
Possible values: true, false

If this attribute is used for a view table or free layout table, an UpTable object is generated automatically. The UpTable object can be accessed using the global object oTableReg. Besides properties like ID and GUID of the table, it contains a list of RecIds of the records displayed on the browser page and a list of the table columns. A column object contains properties like ID, GUID, displayName and controlType and provides methods for accessing nodes (<a> or <span> tags) or directly to contents of text nodes. An example for accessing the object oTableReg:

oTableReg.getTableByGuid(Table GUID).getColByGuid(Column GUID).getNodeValue(recid)

For a free layout table, the RecordID of the data record is transferred, for view tables the VelocityCounter. This method provides the value from the column for the transferred column:

oTableReg.getTableByGuid(Table GUID).aRecIds

Here, an array of the RecordIDs from the page is formed(new array(1,2,5)). Additional methods are included in the file object.js. The GUID must be determined using the properties dialog (Expert tab) for free layout tables. Please do not use the GUID from the Details dialog by pressing F4. For view elements, the attribute establishes a bidirectional relationship between the HTML object of the element and the corresponding UP object to be used in JavaScript. For edit elements, the bidirectional relationship the standard method. Thus, for example, calculations can be performed with the value of a date view field, but the control-specific formatting will be taken into account. The value of the view controls can be queried using the function getElement(GUID).oUp.displayValue. For the view element "View checkbox", the value can be queried using the function getElement(GUID).oUp.checked. The returned value is either true or false. Please note that the names and GUIDs are changed when an application is imported. If the application is not imported using the Overwrite existing applications option, the element names and GUIDs used must be replaced afterwards. Can be used for the following elements:

View field
View table
Free layout table
