Expert attributes

Expert attributes provide additional functions to the Intrexx standard ones. You can find out how to use expert attributes in application elements here.

accesskey

Function: Key combination for jumping to an edit element or button
Data type: text
Default value: nothing
Possible values: character strings
Version: from version 3.00

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:

accordion

Function: Show/Hide groupings in the free layout table
Data type: boolean
Default value: false
Possible values: true, false
Version: from version 5.2

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:

additionalcheck

Function: Shows/Hides buttons when a page is loaded, depending on a value
Data type: text
Default value: nothing
Possible values: Velocity commands, Request parameters
Version: all versions

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 attribute additionalcheck, a comparison will be made with the current value of the 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 isn't 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.

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 aren't any scripts on this page which use functions of application.js. Can be used for the following elements:

jsobject

Function: Access values from rows and columns in a table
Data type: boolean
Default value: false
Possible values: true, false
Version: from version 2.5

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. As well as properties like the ID and GUID of the table, it also contains a list of the RecIds of the data records on the browser page and a list of table columns. A column object contains properties like ID, GUID, displayName and controlType and provides methods for accessing nodes (<a> or <span> tags) or for directly accessing the content 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 don't 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 names and GUIDs are changed when an application is imported. If the option Update existing applications isn't activated when the application was imported, all of the element names and GUIDs used need to be replaced afterwards. Can be used for the following elements:
