Member Function Documentation

WLabel * Wt::Ext::FormField::label ( ) const

Return the label associate with this formfield.

Returns the label (if there is one) that acts as a proxy for this widget.

See also
WLabel::setBuddy(Ext::FormField *)
void Wt::Ext::FormField::refresh ( )
virtual

Refresh the widget.

The refresh method is invoked when the locale is changed using WApplication::setLocale() or when the user hit the refresh button.

The widget must actualize its contents in response.

Note
This does *not* rerender the widget! Calling refresh() usually does not have any effect (unless you've reimplemented refresh() to attach to it an effect).

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

Reimplemented in Wt::Ext::ComboBox.

void Wt::Ext::FormField::render ( WFlags< RenderFlag flags)
protectedvirtual

Renders the widget.

This function renders the widget (or an update for the widget), after this has been scheduled using scheduleRender().

The default implementation will render the widget by serializing changes to JavaScript and HTML. You may want to reimplement this widget if you have been postponing some of the layout / rendering implementation until the latest moment possible. In that case you should make sure you call the base implementation however.

Reimplemented from Wt::WWebWidget.

void Wt::Ext::FormField::setValidator ( WValidator validator)

Set a validator.

The validator will be used for both client side and server side validation (if it is, or inherits from, one of the four validators provided by Wt: WDateValidator, WDoubleValidator, WIntValidator, WLengthValidator, WRegExpValidator).

If the validator has no parent yet, ownership of the validator is transferred to the form field.
