Binding action views to a scrollgrid row
A rowbound action specifies an action to apply to the selected row. Rowbound actions get specific rendering.
Rowbound actions are action defined with the ROWBOUND
action attribute, when using a DISPLAY ARRAY
or
INPUT ARRAY
dialog to control a table or tree view:
DISPLAY ARRAY arr TO sr.*
...
ON ACTION copy_row ATTRIBUTES(ROWBOUND, TEXT="Copy row")
...
TABLE
, TREE
and SCROLLGRID
rows:- On devices with mouse pointer (desktop), the three-dots button appears when the mouse hovers a row.
- On touch devices (mobile), the three-dots button is displayed when selecting the current row.
If the action is disabled, the corresponding rowbound action view of the three-dots button will not be displayed.
The main purpose of the ROWBOUND
attribute is to have the corresponding action enabled and disabled
automatically by the runtime system, depending on the existence of a row. The default decoration of
such action is front-end platform driven and is the consequence of using the
ROWBOUND
action attribute. A DISPLAY ARRAY
or INPUT
ARRAY
can be used with a plain form that show a single row at a time. The rowbound actions
can also be used in such case, using form buttons as action views for example. These buttons will be
automatically enabled/disabled according to the list content.
