Base class for all Smart GWT visual components (except FormItems).

Canvas provides:

• basic visual lifecycle support - creation and destruction of HTML via draw() and clear(), visibility via show() and hide(), z-layering via bringToFront() and sendToBack().
• consistent cross-browser positioning, sizing and size detection, with automatic compensation for browser CSS behavior differences.
• clipping, scrolling and overflow management of content via overflow
• consistent cross-browser key and mouse events, including mapping touch events to mouse events
• built-in drag and drop capabilities including moving, resizing, drag scrolling and snap-to-grid behavior.
• the ability to either contain HTML content or contain other Canvases, including an edge-based positioning and percent sizing system for children. For more advanced layout capabilities, see Layout.
• various other details like cursors, modal masking, animation, accessibility properties, and settings for automated testing.

Should focus navigation for this canvas and its descendents be handled explicitly by intercepting "Tab" key events and calling the TabIndexManager.shiftFocus() API?

Setting this property to true will cause the registered TabIndexManager entry for this canvas to be marked as useExplicitFocusNavigation:true, and will cause standard event handling for the canvas and its descendents to intercept Tab keystrokes and explicitly call TabIndexManager.shiftFocus() rather than relying on native browser Tab navigation

Parameters:

alwaysManageFocusNavigation - New alwaysManageFocusNavigation value. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

Throws:

IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created

getAlwaysManageFocusNavigation

public Boolean getAlwaysManageFocusNavigation()

Should focus navigation for this canvas and its descendents be handled explicitly by intercepting "Tab" key events and calling the TabIndexManager.shiftFocus() API?

Setting this property to true will cause the registered TabIndexManager entry for this canvas to be marked as useExplicitFocusNavigation:true, and will cause standard event handling for the canvas and its descendents to intercept Tab keystrokes and explicitly call TabIndexManager.shiftFocus() rather than relying on native browser Tab navigation

setAlwaysShowScrollbars

public Canvas setAlwaysShowScrollbars(Boolean alwaysShowScrollbars)
                               throws IllegalStateException

Should this browser always show custom scrollbars if showCustomScrollbars is true?

On touch devices that support native touch scrolling, if showCustomScrollbars is true and touch scrolling has not been disabled by the useTouchScrolling and/or disableTouchScrollingForDrag settings, should custom scrollbars and native touch scrolling be enabled for this component? If false or unset, then only native touch scrolling will be enabled. If true, then both scrolling mechanisms will be enabled.

NOTE: Because native touch scrolling (also called momentum scrolling) is computationally intensive, some mobile browsers implement an optimization where the state of the DOM for the element being scrolled will be frozen or partially frozen during the scroll animation. This results in a delay between when the scroll position reaches a certain point in the animation and when the positions of the custom scrollbar thumbs are updated to reflect that scroll position.

For non-touch devices, setting this property to true will override nativeAutoHideScrollbars, and ensure custom scrollbars are shown for the component

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

alwaysShowScrollbars - New alwaysShowScrollbars value. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

Throws:

IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created

setAutoPopulateData

public Canvas setAutoPopulateData(Boolean autoPopulateData)
                           throws IllegalStateException

If a dataContext is provided, should subcomponents automatically bind to the data?

In general, if you provide a primaryKey value for a record, that specific record will be shown or edited, or have its related records loaded. If you provide other field values without the primaryKey value, those values will be treated as either criteria (for a grid) or as initial values (for a form).

Components will respond to dataContext differently depending on whether they typically work with just a single record (such as form or a DetailViewer), or whether they usually work with lists of records (such as ListGrid or TileGrid, which have component.dataArity set to multipe by default).

Specifically, the following rules are used:

1. for a singular component (eg forms, detailViewers):
   • if only the PK (primary key) value is provided, the component will fetch the singular record and display or edit it
   • if the PK is provided along with other values, the component will assume it has a complete record, and display or edit it
   • if only non-PK values are provided, the component will assume these are initial values
2. for a multiple component (eg listGrid, tileGrid):
   • if only non-PK values are provided, the component will use these as criteria. For example, a grid bound to an Orders DataSource with dataContext of Status:"In Process" would fetch records with that status
   • if the PK is provided, and the component's DataSource is related to one of the DataSources in the dataContext, related records will be fetched, using the PK value (similarly to if fetchRelatedData() had been called. For example, if an orderNumber value was provided, a grid bound to OrderDetail would fetch line items for that orderNumber.
   • if an array of multiple records is provided, that data is used as if setData() had been called on the component

If any of these behaviors is not desired, you can just set autoPopulateData to false on the specific component that should not be auto-populated.

Specific examples, using the Order and OrderDetail sample DataSources, where OrderDetail records are associated (many-to-1) with Order records, and the PK of Order is orderNumber:

1. a form or DetailViewer bound to Order and a ListGrid bound to OrderDetail:
   • if an orderNumber is provided, the form or DetailViewer would show that order, and the grid would show related OrderDetail records
   • if only orderNumber is provided (no additional fields), the full Order record is automatically fetched for the form or DetailViewer

   This fulfills a common use case of viewing or editing an Order and its related OrderDetail records.

2. a grid bound to Order and a second grid bound to OrderDetail
   • if values such as orderStatus : "On Hold" were provided, the Order grid uses those as criteria
   • the OrderDetail grid does nothing

   This fulfills a common use case of viewing Order records that match certain criteria. The OrderDetail grid would generally be populated only by an event handler installed on the Order grid, which would call fetchRelatedData.

3. a grid and form both bound to Order
   • if values such as orderStatus : "On Hold" were provided, the Order grid uses those as criteria, and the form uses those as initial values

   This fulfills two possible use cases:

   • the form is a SearchForm for searching the grid, so it should show the same criteria as are applied to the grid
   • the form is for editing the selected record in the grid, or adding new ones. It is ready to either add a new record, or for the user to select a record to show in the form, typically via logic added to the grid (e.g. recordClick -> form.editSelectedData().

By default, autoPopulateData is true for any component that is contained with a "screen" RPCManager.createScreen() and false for any component that is an com.smartgwt.client.types.AutoChild.

Note that, if there is a non-DBC in your screen that wants to access fields in the expected dataContext, the DynamicProperty can refer to properties that auto-populated DBCs will place into the ruleContext. For example, with a DynamicForm "itemEditor" bound to "supplyItem", a header above could use itemEditor.values.itemName to display the name of the item. The header will then show the expected value as soon as the DynamicForm is auto-populated.

Similarly, the DataView.drawn() StringMethod fires after auto-population has occurred, so any startup actions in a screen will likewise be able to utilize data from the dataContext by just referring to it via ruleScope.

Parameters:

autoPopulateData - New autoPopulateData value. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

Throws:

IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created

setCanAdaptHeight

public Canvas setCanAdaptHeight(Boolean canAdaptHeight)

See canAdaptWidth.

Parameters:

canAdaptHeight - New canAdaptHeight value. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

getCanAdaptHeight

public Boolean getCanAdaptHeight()

See canAdaptWidth.

Returns:

Current canAdaptHeight value. Default value is null

setCanAdaptWidth

public Canvas setCanAdaptWidth(Boolean canAdaptWidth)

Indicates that this component is able to render itself at multiple possible sizes, in order to fit into less space when very little space is available, or to display more information or provide more immediate access to functionality when more space is available.

Unlike simply indicating a flexible size via width:"*", setting canAdaptWidth indicates that a component has 2 (or more) different ways of rendering itself with different discrete sizes, but does not have the ability to use every additional available pixel.

For example, a menu embedded in a toolbar might show as only a fixed-size icon which reveals menu options when clicked, or if enough space is available, could show all of the menu options directly in the toolbar. In this example, the menu should either be allocated just enough space for an icon, or enough space for all options to appear inline; any other amount of space being allocated is just a waste.

When a component with canAdaptWidth is part of a Layout, AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy() will be called every time component sizes are being calculated, passing a positive or negative pixel value:

• a positive pixel value indicates a surplus - all other component's minimum sizes can be accommodated, including any minWidth declared on the canAdaptWidth component itself
• a negative pixel value indicates that the containing layout is going to be forced to Overflow (introduce scrollbars, clip content, etc) unless some component or set of components gives up at least this many pixels

If a non-zero value is returned from adaptWidthBy, this means that the component is willing to shrink or expand by that many pixels. Returning 0 means that the component is unable to reduce size further, or for a surplus, cannot make good use of the surplus space.

• A call to AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy() may surrender as many pixels as desired (as long as the widget won't drop below its minimum allowed width), no matter whether a positive (surplus) or negative (overflow) pixel value is supplied, but
• A call to AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy() may not increase its size by more than the number of offered pixels - so if an overflow is present, it may not increase its size at all.

Note that when the initial width is specified as a stretch size (e.g. "*"), then after AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy() is called, the Framework will stretch (but not shrink) the member like any other stretch-size Layout member, but the unadaptedWidth argument will always reflect the unstretched width requested by the previous call to AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy(). This behavior may be disabled by specifying the initial width as a number, or leaving it unspecified.

Behavior is slightly different for overflow: "visible" members - in this case the unadaptedWidth passed in will reflect the current visible width of the member, rather than the last width requested by the previous call to AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy() or the specified width (on the first call). However, note that the visible length will match your requested width unless the member is actually overflowed. Stretch sizing is not supported for adaptive-width members with overflow: "visible".

Caution: you must either determine the current size of the canvas by maintaining your own internal state, or use the unadaptedWidth parameter passed to AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy(). You must not call getWidth() or getVisibleWidth() on the canvas itself inside AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy() as the size is in the processing of being determined, but you may draw children or call getVisibleWidth() on them, as we guarantee that the adaptive-width canvas is drawn before the first call to AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy(). An example of drawing children in AdaptWidthByCustomizer.adaptWidthBy() to compute overall width may be seen in the Inlined Menu Mobile Sample.

Note that reasonable settings for minWidth should be applied to all other flexible-sized members of a layout where a canAdaptWidth component appears, because when too little space is available, a canAdaptWidth component will absorb all available space until minimums for other components are hit (or the canAdaptWidth component reaches its maximum size). If more than one canAdaptWidth component is present, adaptiveWidthPriority to give priority to a particular component when allocating space.

All of the above behaviors are exactly the same for height, using canAdaptHeight and AdaptHeightByCustomizer.adaptHeightBy().

Parameters:

canAdaptWidth - New canAdaptWidth value. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

setCanDrag

public Canvas setCanDrag(Boolean canDrag)

setDataContext

public Canvas setDataContext(DataContext dataContext)

A mapping from DataSource IDs to specific Records from those DataSources, that DataBoundComponents contained within this Canvas should automatically bind to if a DataSource is provided but data is not provided (directly or indirectly, for example, indirectly via setting ListGrid.autoFetchData.

See autoPopulateData for details on how this is done.

DataSources included in the dataContext are immediately provided to rule context when used if no other component has done so already. These records are found in rule context 'dataContext' section (ex. dataContext.Customer for a Customer record in dataContext) so they do not conflict with normal DataSource records.

If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Provides a new DataContext to the Canvas. If the DataContext is new, DataBoundComponents contained within this Canvas will be automatically bound as described in dataContext. If the DataContext replaces an existing one, any contained components that were originally bound against the DataContext will be re-bound.

Parameters:

dataContext - dataContext to use for automatic binding. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

getDataContext

public DataContext getDataContext()

A mapping from DataSource IDs to specific Records from those DataSources, that DataBoundComponents contained within this Canvas should automatically bind to if a DataSource is provided but data is not provided (directly or indirectly, for example, indirectly via setting ListGrid.autoFetchData.

See autoPopulateData for details on how this is done.

DataSources included in the dataContext are immediately provided to rule context when used if no other component has done so already. These records are found in rule context 'dataContext' section (ex. dataContext.Customer for a Customer record in dataContext) so they do not conflict with normal DataSource records.

Returns:

Current dataContext value. Default value is null

setDataPath

public Canvas setDataPath(String dataPath)

A dataPath may be specified on any canvas. This provides a straightforward way to display or edit complex nested data.

NOTE: the dataPath feature is intended to help certain legacy architectures, such as systems that work in terms of exchanging large messages with several different entity types in one message, and are incapable of providing separate access to each entity type.
See the DataPath overview for more information.

For components which support displaying or editing data values, (such as DynamicForm or ListGrid components), the dataPath may be set to specify how the components data is accessed. In this case the dataPath essentially specifies a nested object to edit - typically a path to a field value within a dataSource record. Note that a ValuesManager will be required to handle connecting the dataBoundcomponent to the appropriate sub object. This may be explicitly specified on the component, or a parent of the component, or automatically generated if a DataSource is specified on either the component or a parent thereof.

To provide a simple example - if a complex object existed with the following format:

       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
  

a developer could specify a DynamicForm instance with 'dataPath' set to "address" to edit the nested address object:

       ValuesManager vm = new ValuesManager();
       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
       vm.setValues(values);
 
       DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
       form.setValuesManager(vm);
       form.setDataPath("address");  
       TextItem streetField = new TextItem("street");
       TextItem cityField = new TextItem("city");
       TextItem stateField = new TextItem("state");
       form.setItems(streetField, cityField, stateField);
  

If a component is specified with a dataPath attribute but does not have an explicitly specified valuesManager, it will check its parent element chain for a specified valuesManager and automatically bind to that. This simplifies binding multiple components used to view or edit a nested data structure as the valuesManager needs only be defined once at a reasonably high level component. Here's an example of this approach:

       ValuesManager vm = new ValuesManager();
       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
       vm.setValues(values);
 
       Layout layout = new Layout();
       layout.setValuesManager(vm);
 
       DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
       form.setDataPath("/");  
       TextItem companyNameField = new TextItem("companyName");
       form.setItems(companyNameField);
 
       DynamicForm form1 = new DynamicForm();
       form1.setDataPath("address");  
       TextItem streetField = new TextItem("street");
       TextItem cityField = new TextItem("city");
       TextItem stateField = new TextItem("state");
       form1.setItems(streetField, cityField, stateField);
 
       layout.addMember(form);
       layout.addMember(form1);
  

Note that in this case the valuesManager is specified on a Layout, which has no 'values' management behavior of its own, but contains items with a specified dataPath which do. In this example you'd see 2 forms allowing editing of the nested data structure.

dataPaths from multiple nested components may also be combined. For example:

       ValuesManager vm = new ValuesManager();
 
       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
 
       Map values1 = new HashMap();
       values1.put("companyName", "Some Corporation");
       Map addressMap1 = new HashMap();
       addressMap1.put("street", "1 High Street");
       addressMap1.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap1.put("state", "NY");
       values1.put("address", addressMap1);
       values.put("parentCompany", values1);
 
       vm.setValues(values);
       Layout layout = new Layout();
       layout.setValuesManager(vm);
 
       DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
       form.setDataPath("/");  
       TextItem companyNameField = new TextItem("companyName");
       form.setItems(companyNameField);
 
       DynamicForm form1 = new DynamicForm();
       form1.setDataPath("address");  
       TextItem streetField = new TextItem("street");
       TextItem cityField = new TextItem("city");
       TextItem stateField = new TextItem("state");
       form1.setItems(streetField, cityField, stateField);
 
       Layout innerlayout = new Layout();
       innerlayout.setDataPath("parentCompany");
 
       DynamicForm form3 = new DynamicForm();
       form3.setDataPath("");  
       StaticTextItem companyNameField1 = new StaticTextItem("companyName");
       form3.setItems(companyNameField1);
 
       DetailViewer detailViewer = new DetailViewer();
       detailViewer.setDataPath("address");  
       DetailViewerField streetDVField = new DetailViewerField("street");
       DetailViewerField cityDVField = new DetailViewerField("city");
       DetailViewerField stateDVField = new DetailViewerField("state");
       detailViewer.setFields(streetDVField, cityDVField, stateDVField);
 
       innerlayout.addMember(form3);
       innerlayout.addMember(detailViewer);
 
       layout.addMember(form);
       layout.addMember(form1);
       layout.addMember(innerlayout);
  

In this example the detailViewer will display data from the parentCompany.address object within the base record.

Note that if a component has a specified dataSource and shows child components with a specified dataPath, there is no need to explicitly declare a valuesManager at all. If a component with a dataPath has a dataSource, or an ancestor with a dataSource specified, it will, a valuesManager will automatically be generated on the higher level component (and be available as component.valuesManager).

Difference between "" and "/" - relative and absolute datapaths

In the above example, note how the form for entering the "main" company name is given a dataPath of "/", while the form for entering the parent company name is given a dataPath of "". The difference here is exactly the same as you would find in a filesystem path: a dataPath starting with "/" is absolute, so "/" by itself means "root". A dataPath that does not start with "/" is relative, and the empty string indicates that dataPaths for items below this one in the hierarchy should apply the dataPath so far from the hierarchy above.

If that isn't clear, consider the form for entering the parent company name in the above example. The correct dataPath to the field is /parentCompany/companyName. We have the "parentCompany" part of that path provided by the containing Layout, so we cannot reiterate it on the form itself. However, if we omit the dataPath property altogether, the framework will not seek to apply dataPath at all. So, we specify the empty string, which tells Smart GWT to use dataPath and to retain the portion of the path derived so far from the containment hierarchy.

One further clarification: relative paths are only different from absolute paths if they are relative to something other than the root. So in the above example, although we specify "/" as the dataPath of the "main" company name form, we would get exactly the same behavior by specifying it as "", because the correct dataPath for the companyName field is "/companyName" - ie, it is relative to the root.

If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Setter for the dataPath attribute. This method may be called directly at runtime to set the dataPath on a component, and will also be re-run automatically whenever a canvas' parent changes due to a call to addChild(). This method handles automatically binding the component to the appropriate valuesManager if necessary.

Note : This is an advanced setting

dataPath - new dataPath. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

getDataPath

public String getDataPath()

A dataPath may be specified on any canvas. This provides a straightforward way to display or edit complex nested data.

In this case the dataPath essentially specifies a nested object to edit - typically a path to a field value within a dataSource record. Note that a ValuesManager will be required to handle connecting the dataBoundcomponent to the appropriate sub object. This may be explicitly specified on the component, or a parent of the component, or automatically generated if a DataSource is specified on either the component or a parent thereof.

To provide a simple example - if a complex object existed with the following format:

       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
  

a developer could specify a DynamicForm instance with 'dataPath' set to "address" to edit the nested address object:

       ValuesManager vm = new ValuesManager();
       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
       vm.setValues(values);
 
       DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
       form.setValuesManager(vm);
       form.setDataPath("address");  
       TextItem streetField = new TextItem("street");
       TextItem cityField = new TextItem("city");
       TextItem stateField = new TextItem("state");
       form.setItems(streetField, cityField, stateField);
  

If a component is specified with a dataPath attribute but does not have an explicitly specified valuesManager, it will check its parent element chain for a specified valuesManager and automatically bind to that. This simplifies binding multiple components used to view or edit a nested data structure as the valuesManager needs only be defined once at a reasonably high level component. Here's an example of this approach:

       ValuesManager vm = new ValuesManager();
       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
       vm.setValues(values);
 
       Layout layout = new Layout();
       layout.setValuesManager(vm);
 
       DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
       form.setDataPath("/");  
       TextItem companyNameField = new TextItem("companyName");
       form.setItems(companyNameField);
 
       DynamicForm form1 = new DynamicForm();
       form1.setDataPath("address");  
       TextItem streetField = new TextItem("street");
       TextItem cityField = new TextItem("city");
       TextItem stateField = new TextItem("state");
       form1.setItems(streetField, cityField, stateField);
 
       layout.addMember(form);
       layout.addMember(form1);
  

Note that in this case the valuesManager is specified on a Layout, which has no 'values' management behavior of its own, but contains items with a specified dataPath which do. In this example you'd see 2 forms allowing editing of the nested data structure.

dataPaths from multiple nested components may also be combined. For example:

       ValuesManager vm = new ValuesManager();
 
       Map values = new HashMap();
       values.put("companyName", "Some company");
       Map addressMap = new HashMap();
       addressMap.put("street", "123 Main Street");
       addressMap.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap.put("state", "NY");
       values.put("address", addressMap);
 
       Map values1 = new HashMap();
       values1.put("companyName", "Some Corporation");
       Map addressMap1 = new HashMap();
       addressMap1.put("street", "1 High Street");
       addressMap1.put("city", "New York");
       addressMap1.put("state", "NY");
       values1.put("address", addressMap1);
       values.put("parentCompany", values1);
 
       vm.setValues(values);
       Layout layout = new Layout();
       layout.setValuesManager(vm);
 
       DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
       form.setDataPath("/");  
       TextItem companyNameField = new TextItem("companyName");
       form.setItems(companyNameField);
 
       DynamicForm form1 = new DynamicForm();
       form1.setDataPath("address");  
       TextItem streetField = new TextItem("street");
       TextItem cityField = new TextItem("city");
       TextItem stateField = new TextItem("state");
       form1.setItems(streetField, cityField, stateField);
 
       Layout innerlayout = new Layout();
       innerlayout.setDataPath("parentCompany");
 
       DynamicForm form3 = new DynamicForm();
       form3.setDataPath("");  
       StaticTextItem companyNameField1 = new StaticTextItem("companyName");
       form3.setItems(companyNameField1);
 
       DetailViewer detailViewer = new DetailViewer();
       detailViewer.setDataPath("address");  
       DetailViewerField streetDVField = new DetailViewerField("street");
       DetailViewerField cityDVField = new DetailViewerField("city");
       DetailViewerField stateDVField = new DetailViewerField("state");
       detailViewer.setFields(streetDVField, cityDVField, stateDVField);
 
       innerlayout.addMember(form3);
       innerlayout.addMember(detailViewer);
 
       layout.addMember(form);
       layout.addMember(form1);
       layout.addMember(innerlayout);
  

In this example the detailViewer will display data from the parentCompany.address object within the base record.

Note that if a component has a specified dataSource and shows child components with a specified dataPath, there is no need to explicitly declare a valuesManager at all. If a component with a dataPath has a dataSource, or an ancestor with a dataSource specified, it will, a valuesManager will automatically be generated on the higher level component (and be available as component.valuesManager).

Difference between "" and "/" - relative and absolute datapaths

In the above example, note how the form for entering the "main" company name is given a dataPath of "/", while the form for entering the parent company name is given a dataPath of "". The difference here is exactly the same as you would find in a filesystem path: a dataPath starting with "/" is absolute, so "/" by itself means "root". A dataPath that does not start with "/" is relative, and the empty string indicates that dataPaths for items below this one in the hierarchy should apply the dataPath so far from the hierarchy above.

If that isn't clear, consider the form for entering the parent company name in the above example. The correct dataPath to the field is /parentCompany/companyName. We have the "parentCompany" part of that path provided by the containing Layout, so we cannot reiterate it on the form itself. However, if we omit the dataPath property altogether, the framework will not seek to apply dataPath at all. So, we specify the empty string, which tells Smart GWT to use dataPath and to retain the portion of the path derived so far from the containment hierarchy.

One further clarification: relative paths are only different from absolute paths if they are relative to something other than the root. So in the above example, although we specify "/" as the dataPath of the "main" company name form, we would get exactly the same behavior by specifying it as "", because the correct dataPath for the companyName field is "/companyName" - ie, it is relative to the root.

Returns:

Current dataPath value. Default value is null

public Canvas setDisableTouchScrollingForDrag(Boolean disableTouchScrollingForDrag)
                                       throws IllegalStateException

Disables useTouchScrolling whenever a built-in drag operation has been enabled which is known to be non-functional if touch scrolling is enabled. Default behavior is to leave touch scrolling enabled even if it makes other enabled drag operations non-functional, since any accessible application must provide an alternative way to perform drag and drop operations anyway.

disableTouchScrollingForDrag exists so that applications can change the default setting on a per-component basis (via setDefaultProperties), in order to make a system-wide or per-component-type decision about whether to favor touch scrolling vs retaining the ability to drag and drop via finger drags, instead of having to set useTouchScrolling on each individual instance.

See the Mobile Development overview for more background information.

Parameters:

disableTouchScrollingForDrag - New disableTouchScrollingForDrag value. Default value is null

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

Throws:

IllegalStateException - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created

If you're building your own "drop indicator" widget, it may need this property set to the main canvas (receiving the drop) to avoid itself being considered a drop target (causing the indicator to flicker).

Returns:

Current dropTarget value. Default value is null

setDropTypes

public Canvas setDropTypes(String... dropTypes)

When a drag and drop interaction occurs, if a dragType is configured on the source widget, it is compared to the dropTypes configured on the target widget, and a drop is only allowed if the dragType is listed in the target widget's dropTypes array.

The default setting means any dragType is eligible for dropping on this widget, including no dragType setting.

See also willAcceptDrop() for dynamic determination of drop eligibility.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

dropTypes - New dropTypes value. Default value is Canvas.ANYTHING

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls

setDynamicContents

public Canvas setDynamicContents(Boolean dynamicContents)

Dynamic contents allows the contents string to be treated as a simple but powerful template. When this attribute is set to true, JavaScript expressions may be embedded within the contents string, using the format: ${[JavaScript to evaluate]}.

For example, to include the current date in a templated message, canvas.contents could be set to:
"Today's date is <b>${new Date().toUSShortDate()}</b>"

Embedded expressions will be evaluated when the canvas is drawn or redrawn, and the result of the evaluated expression will be displayed to the user. If the expression does not evaluate to a String, the toString() representation of the returned object will be displayed automatically

Dynamic expressions are evaluated in the scope of the canvas displaying the content, so the this keyword may be used within your expression to refer to the canvas. Developers may also explicitly supply values for variables to be used within the evaluation via the dynamicContentsVars property.

Notes:

• Calling markForRedraw() on the canvas will evaluate any embedded expressions.
• Multiple such expressions may be embedded within the contents string for a component.
• If an error occurs during evaluation, a warning is logged to the Developer Console and the error string will be embedded in place of the expected value in the Canvas.

Note : This is an advanced setting

Parameters:

dynamicContents - New dynamicContents value. Default value is false

Returns:

Canvas instance, for chaining setter calls
