Customizing the UI and Widgets

[johntalbott]

In order to have it works in a generic way you can use the Book's reflection and a proper objects' nomenclature.

This is exactly what I want to do. I understand how to reference an individual object (by name) within a book per your code in the ClinicalStudy.SetSectionsVisibility.

But I can't find anything in the documentation that shows:

1. How to reference a collection of Books, Reports, Sections or Boxes
2. How to identify the box that has focus

Here is the pseudocode for what I'd like to do:

MyBoxCollection = MyReport.MySection.Boxes
IDBox MyBox = New()

For Each MyBox in MyBoxCollection
{

If MyBox.Focus = True
{
MyBox.VisualStyle = ActiveBoxStyle
}
Else
{
MyBox.VisualStyle = NormalBoxStyle
}
}

Can you point me to some documentation or a code example?

Is it possible to get a response regarding my last post?


Thanks

In order to navigate trough the boox structure you can use the Get[object] and Get[Objects]Count method of the various element, something like the lines below:

Code: Select all

// ****************************************
// Describe what this procedure is used for
// ****************************************
public void NewWebApplication.ExampleBookProc()
{
  IDBook idbook = new()
  for (int r = 0; r < idbook.reportCount(); r = r + 1)
  {
    IDReport idr = idbook.getReport(r)
    for (int s = 0; s < idr.sectionCount(); s = s + 1)
    {
      IDSection ids = idr.getSection(s)
      for (int b = 0; b < ids.boxCount(); b = b + 1)
      {
         IDBox idb = ids.getBox(b)
         if (idb.visualStyle == Red)
         {
           // to something
           
         }
      }
    }
  }
}


You can find out all the available methods and properties by taking a look inside the libraries, in the Components libraries -> Book Reflection folder. To resume: yo uhave all the normal methods and properties set of the book objects that you can handle in the designer (http://doc.instantdeveloper.com/eng/?ARTID=B7894CC4-2F58-42F6-A74C-95014034AABF&LANG=eng ) plus the one that you can use when you write code using a book object (http://doc.instantdeveloper.com/eng/?ARTID=79552CD5-9043-A234-9A00-5DBB0BB89C3D&LANG=eng ).
