display( ) method
display( ) method
Copies the field values of a given record to corresponding fields in the current HTML
document for display in the form on the detail page. The record is the working record
of a temp-table referenced in the local storage of a JSDO that is associated with a
UIHelper instance.
After execution, any working records previously set before the method executed
remain as the working records.
Return type: null
Applies to: progress.ui.UIHelper class, table reference property (UIHelper)
Syntax
[table-ref.]display ( )
table-ref
A table reference on a UIHelper instance. If the JSDO associated with the
UIHelper instance references only a single temp-table, the method can be called
on the UIHelper instance itself. The table must have a working record.
If a form field’s id attribute (or dsid attribute, if OpenEdge Mobile App Builder was
used to design the form), as specified by the HTML DOM, matches the name of a
record field, the form field displays the value of the record field. If no HTML field
corresponds to a given record field, the value of that field is not displayed.
The following code fragment shows the display( ) method displaying each record of
an eCustomer temp-table in JSDO local storage to its respective row of a previously
established jQuery listview:
dataSet = new progress.data.JSDO( 'dsCustomerOrder' );
uihelper = new progress.ui.UIHelper({ jsdo: dataSet });
uihelper.eCustomer.setListView({
name:'listview',
format: '{CustNum}{Name}{State}',
autoLink: true
});
