Version 1.6.1 comes with the following changes:

  • Dynamic items that you can create at runtime.

    You can create Text Items (single and multi-line), Buttons, Check boxes, and also Images.
    You can add them directly on the canvas, but you can also group them on a panel.
    Once they are created, they send events back to Forms, responding to mouse, focus and change content events.
    These events are received in the When-Custom-Item-Event trigger of the DrawLAF bean, then sent to a procedure in the Forms module.

     

        

More than 20 new methods allow the developer to create and set many properties on those items.

Images can be double-clicked to display the full-size image in a frame. They can be populated from an external file stored in a JAR file, the client machine, the Internet, but also a BLOB database column.


The laf.pll has been updated to handle the image reading and writing from/to the database.

A new sample dialog - test_laf_dynamic_items.fmb - has been added to the /fmb folder.


See the Draw_LAF Java Bean properties documentation. particularly the Dynamic Items and Image item properties.
