Influence and behavior:
classNames is used to attribute containers and widgets to certain classes in order to ensure the necessary runtime behavior of this container or widget as a member of a certain class:
|
property set in lycia form designer |
For the first Label (identifier=lb1), classNames=first_class:
|
For the second Label (identifier=lb2), classNames=second_class:
|
|
properties applied to the class in lycia theme designer |
|
|
|
runtime behavior |
|
|
At runtime, you can use ui methods to specify the application behavior at runtime:
LET widget_var = ui.<widget>.ForName("widget_id")
CALL widget_var.setClassNames(...)
DISPLAY widget_var.getClassNames()
|
4gl code sample |
DEFINE lb_1, lb_2 ui.Label ... LET lb_1 = ui.Label.ForName("f1") LET lb_2 = ui.Label.ForName("f2") ... DISPLAY "With lb1, classNames=", lb_1.getClassNames() DISPLAY "With lb2, classNames=", lb_2.getClassNames() ... CALL lb_1.setClassNames("first_class") CALL lb_2.setClassNames("second_class")
