Detailed Description

Gadget class.

Library: dbgadget

The IliEntryField class defines a text field gadget that can be connected to a data source.

An entry field can be connected to a data source column. Whenever the value of this column changes in the data source, the entry-field value property is updated accordingly.

An entry field has both a value and a label. The label, inherited from IlvTextField, contains a character string representation of the value. So, for instance, if the value is set to the integer 10, the label will become the character string "10".

The end user can edit the label through the entry field. In this case, the value can become temporarily out of synch with the label. The data source to which the entry field is connected will detect that the input has been modified, parse the label to produce a corresponding value, and store it both in the data source column and in the entry field value property.

Accessors

Accessors provide a scriptable and uniform way to inspect and modify an object by using its base class methods IlvValueInterface::queryValue(), IlvValueInterface::queryValues(), IlvValueInterface::changeValue(), IlvValueInterface::changeValues(). This class inherits the accessors of its superclasses IlvTextField and IliFieldItf.

Member Function Documentation

§ f_externalToInternal()

virtual IlBoolean IliEntryField::f_externalToInternal ( )

virtual

Updates the internal value of a field according to its current external representation.

Returns: IlTrue if successful and IlFalse otherwise. Note that this may fail due to the fact that not all external representations can be converted to a value object. For example, this is especially true for text fields that are used to edit numeric or date values.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

Reimplemented in IliTableComboBox.

§ f_getAlignment()

virtual IlvAlignment IliEntryField::f_getAlignment ( ) const

virtual

Returns the text alignment of the field.

Returns: The alignment.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_getFormat()

virtual const IliFormat& IliEntryField::f_getFormat ( ) const

virtual

Returns the format used to derive the external representation of the field from its internal value.

Returns: The format.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_getMask()

virtual const IliInputMask& IliEntryField::f_getMask ( ) const

virtual

Returns the input mask used to edit values in the field.

Currently, the classes that take into account the input mask are: IliEntryField and its subclasses.

Returns: The mask.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_getMaxLength()

virtual IlShort IliEntryField::f_getMaxLength ( ) const

virtual

Returns the maximum length allowed for the external representation of the field.

Returns: The maximum.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_getValue()

virtual const IliValue& IliEntryField::f_getValue ( IlBoolean internal = IlFalse ) const

virtual

Returns the value of the field.

Parameters

internal If IlTrue, the returned value does not necessarily reflect the state of the field as the user sees it.

Returns: The value.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_isConsistent()

virtual IlBoolean IliEntryField::f_isConsistent ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the internal value of the field corresponds to its current external representation.

A return value of IlFalse means that the external representation of the field has been edited by the end-user since the last time one of the member functions, f_setValue(), f_externalToInternal(), f_internalToExternal() or f_complete() was successfully called.

Returns: IlTrue if the internal value of the field corresponds to its current external representation.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

Reimplemented in IliTableComboBox.

§ f_isReadOnly()

virtual IlBoolean IliEntryField::f_isReadOnly ( ) const

virtual

Returns IlTrue if the field is read-only.

Returns: IlTrue if the field is read-only.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

Reimplemented in IliAbstractComboBox.

§ f_setAlignment()

virtual void IliEntryField::f_setAlignment ( IlvAlignment align )

virtual

Sets the text alignment of the field.

Parameters

align The alignment.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_setFormat()

virtual void IliEntryField::f_setFormat ( const IliFormat & fmt )

virtual

Sets the format used to derive the external representation of the field from its internal value.

Parameters

fmt	The format.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_setInputModified()

virtual void IliEntryField::f_setInputModified ( IlBoolean flag )

virtual

Sets the input-modified attribute of the field.

This member function is presented here for completeness. However, it should be used with care since it may cause the field, and other related components, to be in error with regard to the current state of the field.

Parameters

flag	The input-modified attribute.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_setMask()

virtual void IliEntryField::f_setMask ( const IliInputMask & msk )

virtual

Sets the input mask.

Parameters

msk The mask.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_setMaxLength()

virtual void IliEntryField::f_setMaxLength ( IlShort vmax )

virtual

Sets the maximum length allowed for the external representation of the field.

Parameters

vmax	The maximum length.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

§ f_setReadOnly()

virtual void IliEntryField::f_setReadOnly ( IlBoolean flag )

virtual

Sets the read-only property for the field.

Parameters

flag	The read-only flag.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

Reimplemented in IliAbstractComboBox.

§ f_setValue()

virtual IlBoolean IliEntryField::f_setValue	(	const IliValue &	val,
		IlBoolean	internal = `IlFalse`
	)

virtual

Sets the value of the field.

Parameters

val	The value.
internal	If `IlFalse`, then the external representation and the display of the field are automatically updated.

Returns: IlTrue if successful, and IlFalse otherwise.

Reimplemented from IliFieldItf.

Reimplemented in IliTableComboBox.

§ formatValue()

const char* IliEntryField::formatValue	(	IliString &	dest,
		const IliValue &	val
	)

protected

Returns a character string which contains the formatted value.

Parameters

dest	The string which contains the formatted value.
val	The value.

Returns: A character string which contains the formatted value.

§ setLabelSilently()

void IliEntryField::setLabelSilently ( const char * label )

protected

Sets a new label and launches the drawing of the new label.

Parameters

label The label.

§ valueToLabel()

virtual void IliEntryField::valueToLabel ( const IliValue & value )

protectedvirtual

Sets the value to the label of the entry field.

However if a format is defined the function formatValue() is called to format the value. If there is no format but there is a mask, the value is formatted with the mask.

At the end the function setLabelSilently() is called to set the value to the label and to launch the drawing of the label.

Parameters

value The value.

Reimplemented in IliTableComboBox.
