esseti — Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:27:52 GMT

Hi all,hope that this is the correct forum,two questions:- how can i set the "default" value for a BOOLEAN_CHOICE? i tried with "true" but it does not work.- when will be the DATA_GRID usable? so far it does not work (at least to me).ciao

The boolean choice default should work, but I was hinted a while ago it might be broken. Can you provide an example class we can use to test?

The data grid is currently not planned to be completed. At the moment he focus for me is on ExportMarshallers. However, the exact capabilities for the datagrid are open for discussion, particularly the marshalling. Can you share your use case?

Hello.
my code is here, there's java sources and even the jar .

for the data grid i need to specify some filtering conditions, for example
ID < 4
name = "bill"
etc.
So the idea was to have a grid with "field", "operator" and "value".

PS: is there any way to dynamically load data into the UI? especially for the radio or combo box.
a usecase can be that in a folder i've some processes. so my task can programmatically load the processes name and display them as options.
is there any way for this?

OK, thanks for the pointers, I'll look into it ASAP.

At the moment, you can't, no. This has been on the TODO list for some time, especially for some components such as the combobox (where it seems to make most sense).

Thanks for reporting this problem. You are right, it is a bug. It's actually of broader scope, because it's the same problem as described in this Jira issue: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-1633 . You can watch that issue for a fix.

By the way, your JAR doesn't work on my system for some unclear reason. I had to rebuild your extension to be able to use the JAR in Designer.

I too was hoping to use the Data Grid. I just noticed the note in the User guide that states it is not injected properly into the runtime delegate. I am trying to build a custom service task where the user can specify 1…N messages to be displayed to a user. The messages are actually coded in our data dictionary, and can have data inserted into them too as in the Java StringFormatter, so there would be parameters. Here's what the columns might be:

Message Code, Message Text, Param 1, Param 2, Param 3

The Data Grid affords great flexibility and we would love to see it implemented.

Thanks,
