Parameters

parameter DEFAULTCONTROLCLASS = selectorInput;
Inherited description: The default css class used for the main element within this control. This is overridden by subclasses.

Properties

property context as %ZEN.Datatype.uri;
Context string used to determine the selection list for this component.
A context string take the form of a URL:
SearchClass/SearchName?parm1=value&parm2=value
SearchClass is the name of a %ZEN.Portal.ContextSearch search class that contains the search to perform.
SearchName is the name of the search method to invoke within the search class.
Property methods: contextDisplayToLogical(), contextGet(), contextIsValid(), contextLogicalToDisplay(), contextLogicalToOdbc(), contextNormalize(), contextSet()
property multiSelect as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Flag to indicate whether multiSelect mode should be used when displaying the dropdown menu. If this value is true, then the contents of the control are treated as a delimited list using separator as the delimiter. The dropdown will then present the user with a list of checkboxes with the previously entered values checked. Checking and unchecking values will toggle whether the property is included in the list.
NOTE: MultiSelect mode should not be used in conjunction with context-based lookups, as the behaviour which could come from this approach would not be intuitive or easy to use.
Property methods: multiSelectDisplayToLogical(), multiSelectGet(), multiSelectIsValid(), multiSelectLogicalToDisplay(), multiSelectLogicalToOdbc(), multiSelectLogicalToXSD(), multiSelectNormalize(), multiSelectSet(), multiSelectXSDToLogical()
property onkeyup as %ZEN.Datatype.eventHandler (HANDLER = """_$select((..onkeyup'=""""): ""return zenFireEvent('""_..index_""','""_$ZCVT($S(..onkeydown'[""#("":..onkeydown,1:..%Eval(..onkeydown,""JS"")),""O"",""JS"")_""','onkeydown',event);"", 1: ""zenPage.getComponent(""_..index_"").onkeyupHandler(event,""_..index_"");"")_""");
onkeyup event handler: This event is fired when a key is released when this control has focus. The HANDLER parameter is used to trigger the default onkeyup handler defined in onkeyupHandler()(). If onkeyup is specified in the component, then that specific code will be invoked rather than that in the default event handler, and it is then the responsibility of the developer to call the onkeyupHandler()() function defined in this class.
Property methods: onkeyupDisplayToLogical(), onkeyupGet(), onkeyupIsValid(), onkeyupLogicalToDisplay(), onkeyupLogicalToOdbc(), onkeyupNormalize(), onkeyupSet()
property separator as %ZEN.Datatype.string [ InitialExpression = "," ];
Define what delimiter to use for list properties when multiSelect is true.
Property methods: separatorDisplayToLogical(), separatorGet(), separatorIsValid(), separatorLogicalToDisplay(), separatorLogicalToOdbc(), separatorNormalize(), separatorSet()
property size as %ZEN.Datatype.integer (MINVAL = 0);
Size of the input area for this text control.
Property methods: sizeDisplayToLogical(), sizeGet(), sizeIsValid(), sizeLogicalToDisplay(), sizeLogicalToOdbc(), sizeNormalize(), sizeSet()

clientmethod onkeyupHandler(event, index) [ Language = javascript ]
Default onkeyup handler to allow drop-down to be displayed (by pressing DOWN) or hidden (by pressing ESCAPE). This method is only invoked if no onkeyup event is defined for the selector using the standard onkeyup attribute.
