Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Detail View Within In List

    Hi,

    I've been looking around to see if anyone has done this but is it possible in a list control that when you select a row in a list control a detail view can be shown underneath the line you have just selected so its embedded into the list?

    An editable Detail View? Is this for a web app or a mobile app? If you just want to show additional data, then have a look in the Video Library for "Row Expander". There are 2 videos UXL__V12--31 and 32 discussing the List Control Row Expander.

      Hi,

      It would be for a Mobile App and yes an editable detail view. is this possible?

        This is something that I've been wanting to do also but haven't gotten to. Maybe adding a list item footer with a div with a dynamic ID based on the row number. As David mentions, use the Row Expander method to show the item footer. And then maybe, and this is the part I am unsure about, stick the detail view control in an Injectible type Container with the Injectible target type as "Unspecified".

        The documentation does indicate: "The Unspecified option is typically used if you plan to inject the content into the header or footer section of a List control."

        Inject the content only into a list footer or also possibly into list item footers?

        EDIT: other than that, I have added different controls to list rows a number of times (and the newest releases makes it even easier). But they weren't technically detail view controls. They were just controls that when changed, I would use the updateTableRow method to make the row dirty and then sync up.

          Hi Jeff,

          You said that you have added controls onto the list, is this doable with a Switch Control? so when a user click on a row the switch is triggered to go left and right

          Are their any videos on this?

            Definitely. Look at the latest Release Notes (https://aadocuments.s3.amazonaws.com...easeNotes.Html) under the section: UX Component - List Control - New Control Types

              I'm not sure that it's possible to get an Editable Detail View to display within the List Control. There would be other issues to consider if this were possible. How it would look, how large an area it would be, List scrolling could be affected. I might prefer to use a ControBar with a Disclosure. Show Injectible Content within the Disclosure. Selecting a row for Edit would show the Disclosure... sliding down from the ControlBar. This would be a nice looking effect and would be consistent regardless of where the List row is displayed.

                Has anyone tried this by setting the "List Properties / Layout Type" to "Freefrom" instead of "Column?" When setting up the "template" for the list you would use client-side templating to conditionally include a "detail" section below each "row." You would insert a data item into each row to indicate if the row is expanded or not (In your SQL you could add an expression, like, ' "N" as expanded'. One challenge is to get the changed data from the list posted back to the server, you'd have to see how alpha does this when using a LIST with an updateable DETAIL view and then mimic those actions in your "DETAIL" controls.

                I have just about finished doing this type of thing with a VIEWBOX. However, my ViewBox only used clickable checkboxes (implemented via square boxes and checked boxes from FontAwesome); no row expanders. I did not have to worry about when to apply the user's changes - they click a box and the box toggles immediately. It would be the same principle for adding your own "row expander" checkbox. When the user clicks the box, toggle the "data" item and "refresh()" the ViewBox. (NOTE: I also recalculate the "value" of the listbox each time an item changes; for some reason I cannot postpone the recalculation to when the user clicks the "submit" button. Normally a ViewBox or Listbox has a single value like the selected row's unique identifier or multiple ID's if multi-select is allowed. In my case the ViewBox "value" is a string version of a JSON object containing the changed record ID's and changed values.) The redrawing of the ViewBox is very efficient. Thanks to the browser there's no flicker and it is instantaneous. My ViewBox is not scrollable and I have not tested with enough data to see what happens if the page is displayed with vertical scroll bars. Now that I've just about got it done in a ViewBox, I kind of whish I had tried this in a LIST.

                Information on how to do this comes from a couple of videos:
                UX_V12--168
                UXFV_V12--30
                UXFV_V12--33
                UXVB_V12--7
                UXVB_V12--8
                UXVB_V12--10

                There's probably other helpful videos, as well. But I don't think there is a single set of videos to show you everything. I haven't found any videos that show how to process the submitted data. I wrote all my own code on the server-side for processing the returned data. But, if you use a LIST instead of a ViewBox and figure out how to mimic the actions of a LIST with an updateable detail view then you wouldn't have to do much on the server-side.
