Data Table Properties

This section describes the properties available for a data table element in the page definition.

Effective Constraint

PropertyDescriptionExample
Constraint SourceThe location that is providing the constraint for this element.TEMPLATE_CONSTRAINT
Constraint TypeThe type of constraint for this element, i.e.
Bounds - The element is being position absolutely.
Flow - The element is flowing.
None - The element has no position constraint.
BOUNDS
heightThe height of the element in pixels.63
widthThe width of the element in pixels.281
xThe x location of the element in pixels, relative to its parent element.445
yThe y location of the element in pixels, relative to its parent element.184

Element Constraint

PropertyDescriptionExample
Constraint TypeThe type of constraint to apply to the element, i.e.
Bounds - The element should be absolutely positioned.
Flow - The element should flow.
None - No constraint for the element should be supplied here (although a constraint may be inferred from somewhere else, e.g. a template).
BOUNDS
heightThe height of the element. Can be specified in pixels (e.g. 50), as a percentage (e.g. 10%), or as an automatic value based on the size of the content of the element (auto).64
widthThe width of the element. Can be specified in pixels (e.g. 50), as a percentage (e.g. 10%), or as an automatic value based on the size of the content of the element (auto).321
xThe x location of the element, specified as a value in pixels. It is only available when using a Bounds constraint.13
yThe y location of the element, specified as a value in pixels. It is only available when using a Bounds constraint.314

General

PropertyDescriptionExample
Allow Focus?Indicates whether the element will allow focus.true
Background ColourThe background colour for the element. It can be shown as the colour name for common colours, e.g. RED, or a hex code, e.g. #ff0000. It could also contain a conditional statement to determine which colour is to be used, e.g. #{notEmpty(view.currentlyInTrainingMode)&& view.currentlyInTrainingMode ? '#80FF80': 'WHITE' }.RED
Background Image URLIndicates the URL for background image to be displayed on the element.Mac1024x768/Pos/PosDialogHoverButton1024x768.gif

It could also contain a conditional statement to determine which colour is to be used, e.g. #{notEmpty(view.currentlyInTrainingMode)&& view.currentlyInTrainingMode ? '#80FF80': 'WHITE' }.WHITE
Data ExpressionThe function of this property depends on the type of element, i.e.
Data Table - An expression that controls where the list of data for the table comes from.
Image - An expression that controls where the binary data for the image comes from.

Focus OrderControls the order the element is tabbed into. Setting to -1 will prevent the element from accepting tab focus.-1
Force Hidden?Indicates whether a component will be hidden despite other visibility checks.true
IdA unique (with the containing element) identifier for this element. It is entered via a pop up window.TABLE_1
