Parameters

parameter DEFAULTVISIBLE = 0;
This component is not visible.
parameter SYSMODULE = mvc;
Inherited description: If set, this indicates that this system component should be placed in the given "module". A module is a grouping of components within the same class package that share common include (js or css) files. Note that certain root classes are implicitly placed within the "core" module.
Classes outside of the Zen library should not set this, they should use the MODULE instead.

Properties

property alertOnError as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ Final , InitialExpression = 1 ];
If true (the default), then the dataController will display an alert box when it encounters errors invoking server-side functions (such as when saving or deleting).
Property methods: alertOnErrorDisplayToLogical(), alertOnErrorGet(), alertOnErrorIsValid(), alertOnErrorLogicalToDisplay(), alertOnErrorLogicalToOdbc(), alertOnErrorLogicalToXSD(), alertOnErrorNormalize(), alertOnErrorSet(), alertOnErrorXSDToLogical()
property autoRefresh as %ZEN.Datatype.integer (MINVAL = 0) [ Final ];
Setting this to a non-zero value will turn on autoRefresh mode for this dataController. The dataController will reload its data from the server at the periodic interval specified by this property (in milliseconds).
This is provided as a convenience for dataController used to drive dashboards or charts; it is of limited use for forms.
Setting this to 0 will disable autoRefresh mode.
Property methods: autoRefreshDisplayToLogical(), autoRefreshGet(), autoRefreshIsValid(), autoRefreshLogicalToDisplay(), autoRefreshLogicalToOdbc(), autoRefreshNormalize(), autoRefreshSet()
property defaultSeries as %ZEN.Datatype.integer (MINVAL = 1) [ Final , InitialExpression = 1 ];
Optional. If a DataModel has multiple dataSeries, then this specifies which DataSeries (1-based) should be used to provide values to DataViews that can only display values from one data series (such as a form).
Property methods: defaultSeriesDisplayToLogical(), defaultSeriesGet(), defaultSeriesIsValid(), defaultSeriesLogicalToDisplay(), defaultSeriesLogicalToOdbc(), defaultSeriesNormalize(), defaultSeriesSet()
property modelError as %ZEN.Datatype.string (XMLPROJECTION = "none", ZENSETTING = 0) [ Final ];

Methods

classmethod %DeleteModelInstance(pClass As %String, pID As %String) as %Status
Delete an instance of a DataModel object.
method %GetDataByName(pProperty As %String)
Get a data value, by property name, from this dataController.
method %GetModelPropertyList(Output pSC As %Status) as %String
Return a comma-delimited list of the properties contained in the current DataModel class.
A property in the list may include type and label information in the form:
Prop:type:label
method %GetTypeByName(pProperty As %String)
Get a data type, by property name, from this dataController.
method %SetDataByName(pProperty As %String, pValue As %String)
Set a data value, by property name, into this dataController.
clientmethod createNewObject() [ Language = javascript ]
Ask our associated dataModel to create a new (unsaved) instance.
clientmethod deleteId(id) [ Language = javascript ]
Ask our associated dataModel to delete the item with the given id. Returns true if the delete was successful. If the dataModel is readOnly, then the delete will not happen.
clientmethod getData(d1, d2, d3) [ Language = javascript ]
dataSet API Return the data contained in the specified location. Location is 0-based;
clientmethod getDataAsArrays() [ Language = javascript ]
This is a specialized variant of getData() that return the data in this controller as an array of arrays (used by charts).
clientmethod getDataAsObject(series) [ Language = javascript ]
This is a specialized variant of getData() that returns the data in this controller as a zenProxy object (associative array).
The return value of this object is a zenProxy object with properties that correspond to the properties of the current Data Model object. The value of each property in the returned object corresponds to the value in the Data Model object.
If the Data Model supports more than one data series, then the series parameter (0-based) specifies which series to use (the default is series 0).
Refer to the %ZEN.proxyObject for more details.

clientmethod getDimensions() [ Language = javascript ]
dataSet API Return number of dimensions within the dataModel. There are 2 dimensions: The first is the set of properties, the second has a typical size of 1.
The second dimension may be larger than 1 in cases where the model serves multiple series for a given model instance. (Such as when providing mulitple data series for charts).
clientmethod getError() [ Language = javascript ]

clientmethod getModelId() [ Language = javascript ]
Return the current model id associated with this dataController.
clientmethod getPropertyName(n) [ Language = javascript ]
Given a 0-based index, return the corresponding property name.
clientmethod getTypeByName(property) [ Language = javascript ]

clientmethod hasData() [ Language = javascript ]
Return true if this controller currently contains data loaded from a DataModel.
clientmethod invokeAction(action, data) [ Language = javascript ]
Invoke a named action on our associated dataModel. An action is an arbitrary operation that is defined by a specific dataModel class. data is an arbitary value passed along with the action.
clientmethod isModelReadOnly() [ Language = javascript ]
Test if the current data model is read-only.
clientmethod isPropertyValid(property, value) [ Language = javascript ]
Test if a given value for a property is valid.
clientmethod onDelete() [ Language = javascript ]
This client method, if present, is called when this component is removed from the page.

clientmethod raiseDataChange() [ Language = javascript ]
Send notification to listeners that the data associated with this dataController has changed.
Any dataController methods that change data should call this to notify listeners.
clientmethod save() [ Language = javascript ]
Save data from this dataController back to the DataModel on the server. Return the id with which the model was saved or '' if it was not saved.
clientmethod sendEventToViews(reason, source, data1, data2, data3) [ Language = javascript ]
Send an event to all listeners (dataViews) connected to this dataController. reason is the name of the event.
source, if not null, if the dataView that raised the event.
data1,data2, and data3 contain event-specific data passed along with the event.
clientmethod setData(value, d1, d2, d3) [ Language = javascript ]
dataSet API Set the data contained in the specified location. Location is 0-based;
clientmethod setDataByName(property, value, series) [ Language = javascript ]
dataBag API Set a data value, by property name, into this dataController.
If property is "%id", then change the id of this controller.
If property is "%series", then change the defaultSeries of this controller.
clientmethod setModelId(id) [ Language = javascript ]
Set the value of the modelId property for this controller. This will cause new data to be loaded and any views connected to this controller to refresh.
