Constructor Detail

UIFormEx

public UIFormEx()

Create a new XFForm instance with default property values.

Method Detail

getStyleKitFamily

public java.lang.String getStyleKitFamily()

Description copied from interface: ThemeControl

The styleKitFamily is basically the default themeId, to use if the "themeId" property is not set on this control instance in the XPage source. For example, "InputField.EditBox" is used for most Edit Box controls. See Domino/xsp/nsf/themes/webstandard.theme for more examples.

The implementation may return different values depending on the configuration of the current control, for example the Button control returns a different value and looks different when it is configured as a cancel button.

Specified by:

getStyleKitFamily in interface ThemeControl

Returns:

a non-null themeId corresponding to the configuration for this type of control in a theme file.

isNestedForm

public boolean isNestedForm()

Defaults to false, this should be set to nestedForm="true" when the XPage designer wants to create a form that is nested within another HTML form. By default nested forms cause an error to prevent the page from displaying, as they are usually indicative of a problem, but when this is set to true the error is avoided and the nested form is allowed.

Returns:

true if a form is a nested form.

setNestedForm

public void setNestedForm(boolean nestedForm)

Flag to indicate whether or not a form is a nested form.

Parameters:

nestedForm - true if the form is a nested form

isAutoForm

public boolean isAutoForm()

Indicates if this form has been auto created by the View. Not a property set in the All Properties tab, this is determined by the XPage root control.

Returns:

true if it has been auto created.

setAutoForm

public void setAutoForm(boolean autoForm)

Flag to indicate if this form has been auto created by the View.

Parameters:

autoForm - true if this has been automatically created

public java.lang.String getDir()

Return the value of the dir property. Contents:

Direction indication for text that does not inherit directionality. Valid values are "LTR" (left-to-right) and "RTL" (right-to-left).

setDir

public void setDir(java.lang.String dir)

Set the value of the dir property.

getAutocomplete

public java.lang.String getAutocomplete()
