I do not want to be a 'wise' guy but there is a choice in the type of controls
Few (<10) mutually exclusive: radio
Few options , more choices possible: check box
Many options: select - dropdown
Hi,
If, in App Within Minutes, you select an attribute of type Static List with
multiple options and you set the selection type to Radio Button the :
$doc.display('SL1') shows the radio buttons in Edit mode, but not in
Display mode.
I feel radio buttons should always display all
the options and highlight
the 'selected' one.
But now, in view mode the user has nu clue what he/she can choose.
It's a but odd to select EDIT before he/she can see the options.
I don't agree. When I'm in view mode I'm interested in the selected
value. There can be many options and so displaying all of them
clutters the UI and distracts the user. Radio buttons serve a specific UI purpose
The mutually exclusiveness is special and should also be clear from view perspective
especially if the viewer is not the owner of the record
I understood your need / use case, but it's not very common, at lest
no one complained about this so far. Moreover, radio buttons are input
fields, so they are used for taking input from users. Using radio
buttons just for display (view mode) as read only is a bit of a hack.
If you need to display all possible values besides the selected one in
view mode then it's probably better to use a custom displayer for your
Static List property that lists all the possible values and marks the
selected value with some CSS. Alternatively, you can make the radio
buttons read-only in view mode, as I mentioned below.
Hope this helps,
Marius
In the sheet i've modified the generated code from;
: $doc.display('SL1') -> : $doc.display('SL1', 'edit')
But this allows the user to select another option (the control is active)
Is there a more elegant way to have the control
show the radio buttons and
the one currently selected highlighted but that the control is not active?
You either make the radio buttons generated by $doc.display read-only
with JavaScript or you generate the radio buttons read only by
yourself.
Hope this helps,
Marius
