SetSectionCellSpacing, SetSectionCellPadding methods for Sections

SetSectionCellSpacing, SetSectionCellPadding are two new methods which when used, will control the internal cell spacing and padding of a section on a form. The generic way of calling both methods is: Code form.SetSectionCellSpacing(“Section Key”, “Size in Integer”); form.SetSectionCellPadding(“Section Key”, “Size in Integer”); A prerequisite to use the above two methods is to add a […]

SetDataSource method for DataGrid

SetDataSource is a new method used to bind a DataGrid to an array of objects during runtime. c_Control5 is our example datagrid. Code var c = form.GetControl(“c_Control5″).InputControl; var data = []; var item = new Object(); item.ID=”1”; item.Name = “John”; data.push(item); item = new Object(); item.ID=”2″; item.Name = “George”; data.push(item); c.SetDataSource(data); Let’s analyze the […]

SetSectionCellSpacing, SetSectionCellPadding methods for Sections

SetSectionCellSpacing, SetSectionCellPadding are two new methods which when used, will control the internal cell spacing and padding of a section on a form.

The generic way of calling both methods is:

Code

form.SetSectionCellSpacing(“Section Key”, “Size in Integer”);

form.SetSectionCellPadding(“Section Key”, “Size in Integer”);

A prerequisite to use the above two methods is to add a key to the section you wish to change the spacing/padding, like in the picture below:

We’ll use the section below to show the changes performed by the two methods individually. The section without any changes:

Changing our example’s section called testSection spacing size to 20:

Code

form.SetSectionCellSpacing(“testSection”, “20”);

Changing our example’s section called testSection padding size to 20:

Code

form.SetSectionCellPadding(“testSection”, “20”);

SetDataSource method for DataGrid

SetDataSource is a new method used to bind a DataGrid to an array of objects during runtime.

c_Control5 is our example datagrid.

Code

var c = form.GetControl(“c_Control5″).InputControl;

var data = [];
var item = new Object();
item.ID=”1”; item.Name = “John”; data.push(item);
item = new Object();
item.ID=”2″; item.Name = “George”; data.push(item);

c.SetDataSource(data);

Let’s analyze the above code in more detail:

Code

var c = form.GetControl(“c_Control5”).InputControl;

The above segment finds our example datagrid and stores it in a variable. Normally we’d only have to use

var c = form.GetControl(“c_Control5”); but in our case the SetDataSource command is under the InputControl property.

Code

var data = [];

Declares an array called data which we’ll use to store objects and finally binds it to the datagrid.

Code

var item = new Object();
item.ID=”1″; item.Name = “John”; data.push(item);

The above code segment creates a new object called item, declares two parameters called ID and Name and initializes them with values . data.push(item); stores the newly created object in the array.

Code

c.SetDataSource(data);

Finally, we use SetDataSource to bind the array to our example’s datagrid. The result of our actions is shown below:
