Valueset

Quick Reference Guide

Method signature

addActionTarget = "[String] widget name, [Constant] event,[Method] execute method"
[String] is the name of the widget
[Constant] the event to listen on
[Method] the method signature

Examples

A valueset event occurs when a checkbox or radio button is 'checked' (value set).


To demostrate the valueset event we will create a popup on a valueset event, and a popdown on an valueclear event



<Widget setShape="0,0,100,80">
<Widget setShape="10,10,80,25" setLabel="Set" setName="popup" setBorder="flat" setVisible="false"/>
<Button setShape="10,40,80,25" setLabel="Value set" addActionTarget="popup,valueset,setVisible='true',popup,valueclear,setVisible='false'"/>
</Widget>

The Widget, 'popup', will execute the method 'setVisible'
On the valueset event we execute popup.setVisible="true", the Widget Pops up
On the valueclear event we execute popup.setVisible="false", the Widget Pops down
To handle more than one event, we append them to the addActionTarget, the addActionTarget accepts parameters in tuples (3,6,9,etc...)
