QUESTION:
When I mark my table.column in Database Builder as NOENTER and I let VDF generate the HTML input statement the HTML control will not accept input, This is OK but I would like a more visual clue why it does not accept input. I would like to - like Windows - shadow the control. How do I do that.
ANSWER:
If you use an ASP statement like:
<%=oCustomer.DDValue("Customer.Balance",DDFORM)%>
the generated code will be like:
<input type="text" size="8" readonly="readonly" name="customer__balance" value="0" />
to really shadow it the control should have it's disabled attribute set as well. So you need a result as:
<input type="text" size="8" readonly="readonly" disabled="disabled" name="customer__balance" value="0" />
You can achieve this by augmenting the DDReadOnlyHTML function of the cWebBusinessProcess class (or object). Add the following code to your WBO and the result will be as above.
Function DDReadOnlyHTML integer hMain integer iFile integer iField returns String
String sData
Forward Get DDReadOnlyHTML hMain iFile iField To sData
If (sData <> "") Begin
Move (sData * 'disabled="disabled"') To sData
End
Function_Return sData
End_Function
NOTE: This feature does only work when you select dynamic input controls when constructing the ASP file with the Web Entry Wizard. When you select static code the INPUT statement is generated once and you can add the disabled attribute manually to the HTML code.
