QUESTION:
I have an ASP file that contructs my input controls. Based on a certain condition in the record I want the INPUT control readonly/disabled or a normal input control. How do I do this?
ANSWER:
When a dynamic generated INPUT control is constructed (with - for example - the "<%=oCustomer.DDValue("Customer.Credit_Limit",DDFORM)%>" ASP instruction) the function DDHndValue (of the cWebBusinessProcess class) is executed. When the passed argument is DDFORM the function DDFormControl is called. This function can be augmented (at object level) to return the correct HTML code. For example you could do:
Define C_READONLY For 'readonly="readonly"'
Define C_DISABLED For 'disabled="disabled"'
Function DDFormControl Handle hMain Integer iFile Integer iField String sParams Returns String
Integer iValueField iSpacePos
String sData
Forward Get DDFormControl hMain iFile iField sParams To sData
Get_FieldNumber Service.Value To iValueField
If (iField = iValueField And Service.Type <> "ABC") Begin
Move (Pos (" ", sData)) To iSpacePos
If (iSpacePos > 0) Begin
Move (Insert (' ' + C_READONLY * C_DISABLED, sData, iSpacePos)) To sData
End
End
Function_Return sData
End_Function
NOTE: When the type passed is not DDFORM but DDEDIT or another constant you need a different function than DDFormControl.
