New IIPs have been made available to support Dynamic Naming:
AvMakeFormName | This method is called when a form has yet to be named using Dynamic Naming. |
|---|
AvMakeControlName | This method is called each time a cell in the Input/Output control grid in Dynamic Naming interface receives the focus. It allows you to standardise the screen's field names should your application use a certain naming convention. |
AvValidateFormName | Validate the name given to a Newlook screen. |
AvValidateControlName | Validate the name given to a Newlook screen's control. |
Example
You can modify the default behaviour of the Dynamic Naming dialog in the Windows IIP (by default UF_SYSTM).
This example sets the prefix for all newlook controls XXX:
...
- This method is called by the dynamic naming tool to set a default value to give to an unnamed Newlook form.
- Here you can specify a value based on some naming standard to give to all Newlook forms. The default value returned by the ancestor
- is blank.
- To specify your own, comment out or delete the Invoke Method(#COm_Ancestor.avMakeFormName) Formprefix(#FormPrefix) command
- and insert your own logic. Return the value in the output parameter #FormPrefix.
Mthroutine Name(avMakeFormName) Options(*REDEFINE) - Define_Map For(*output) Class(#vf_eltxtm) Name(#FormPrefix) Desc('Prefix to apply to unnamed forms ')
Invoke Method(#Com_Ancestor.avMakeFormName) Formprefix(#FormPrefix)
Endroutine
- This method is called by the dynamic naming tool when the focus is set into a cell in the grid that shows
- all the *controls in the Newlook form that is showing. Here you can specify a value perhaps based on some
- naming standard to give to all defined Newlook controls. The default value returned by the ancestor blank.
- To specify your own, comment out or delete the Invoke Method(#COm_Ancestor.avMakeControlName) Controlprefix(#ControlPrefix) command
- and insert your own logic. Return the value in the output parameter #ControlPrefix.
Mthroutine Name(avMakeControlName) Options(*REDEFINE) - Define_Map For(*output) Class(#vf_elctln) Name(#ControlPrefix) Desc('Prefix to apply to unnamed controls ')
- Invoke Method(#COm_Ancestor.avMakeControlName) Controlprefix(#ControlPrefix)
set com(#Controlprefix) value(xxx)
Endroutine
- Use this method to validate the name given to a Form using the Dynamic Naming tool. The default behaviour is to return OK
- except when the form name is equal to the value set in method avMakeFormName:
- If Cond('#FormName = *blanks')
- Set Com(#ReturnCode) Value(ER)
- Set Com(#ErrorMessage) Value(*MTXTVF_UM701_014)
- Else
- Set Com(#ReturnCode) Value(OK)
- Endif
Mthroutine Name(avValidateFormName) Options(*REDEFINE) - Define_Map For(*input) Class(#vf_eltxtm) Name(#FormName) Desc('Form name to be validated')
- Define_Map For(*output) Class(#vf_elretc) Name(#ReturnCode) Desc('OK or ER')
- Define_Map For(*output) Class(#vf_elmsg) Name(#ErrorMessage) Desc('Returned message in case of error')
Invoke Method(#COm_Ancestor.avValidateFormName) Formname(#FormName) Returncode(#ReturnCode) Errormessage(#ErrorMessage)
Endroutine
- Use this method to validate the name given to a Newlook control using the Dynamic Naming tool. The default behaviour is
- to return OK except when the control name is equal to the value set in method avMakeControlName:
- If Cond('#ControlName = *blanks')
- Set Com(#ReturnCode) Value(ER)
- Set Com(#ErrorMessage) Value(*MTXTVF_UM701_013)
- Else
- Set Com(#ReturnCode) Value(OK)
- Endif
Mthroutine Name(avValidateControlNam) Options(*REDEFINE) - Define_Map For(*input) Class(#vf_elctln) Name(#ControlName) Desc('Control name to be validated')
- Define_Map For(*output) Class(#vf_elretc) Name(#ReturnCode) Desc('OK or ER')
- Define_Map For(*output) Class(#vf_elmsg) Name(#ErrorMessage) Desc('Returned message in case of error')
