Most Important Properties

Here is a list of the major Properties in alphabetic order. Most UI components only have some of the properties listed. 

• Auto query data - Automatically performs a database query and fills the entity connected to the UI component. Data that can’t be displayed will be lazily loaded (lazy-loading). The XdevLazyEntityContainer will be used as Data Container.

• Caption -  Displays text as label.

• Columns - Defines the width of a form component in columns. A column roughly equals one character. The setting is only relevant if the setting in Toolbox > Width > ? (Undefined).

• Connected form - Connects the UI component (master) to the specified XdevFieldGroup (detail). 

• Converter - A wizard that allows you to define formatting for a field (e.g.; date or currency symbol) and to convert strings into a specific data type. 

• ConversionError -  Error message that appears if a conversion defined in the Converter fails. 

• Description - Text displayed at runtime as a tooltip when you touch it with the mouse pointer.

• DisableOnClick - Only allows a one-time single click and then disables the XdevNativeButton.

• Enabled

• Entity -  Connects the assigned entity to the UI component.

  • Properties - Shows the attributes of the connected entity, specified here, in the UI component e.g. {%company}. You can also display multiple attributes, such as {%company}, {%carmodels}, {%price}. Thus, the potential settings made in the Entity Editor will be overwritten in Settings > Entity caption as well as in Properties > ItemCaptionValue.
  • Data - Instead of the default search strategy of Auto query data, it uses the query method findAll or a custom query method. findAll  transmits the entire query result and uses the  XdevBeanItemContainer as a data container. Lazy loading is not supported.
  • Hierarchy - Only for XdevTree.

• Icon - Displays an icon in the UI component. With the Icon Wizard you can embed your own files or the included FontAwesome Icons.
  

• ReadOnly 

• Shortcut
