Using GridView and FormView to Create Automatic Views
Use GridView and FormView to create automatic views without any need for the visual designer
Use Grid View
protected override void OnLoad()
{
- View = () => new Views.ShowProductsView(this);
View = () => new ENV.UI.GridView(Products.ProductID,Products.ProductName);
} Use Form View
protected override void OnLoad()
{
- View = () => new Views.ShowProductsView(this);
View = () => new ENV.UI.FormView(Products.ProductID,Products.ProductName);
} Add an Action to the View
protected override void OnLoad()
{
View = () =>
{
var result = new ENV.UI.GridView(Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Products.SupplierID);
result.AddAction("Do Something", () =>
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Test");
});
return result;
};
} Add a CheckBox
protected override void OnLoad()
{
View = () =>
{
var result = new ENV.UI.GridView(Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Products.SupplierID);
result.AddCheckBox(Products.Discontinued);
result.AddAction("Do Something", () =>
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Test");
});
return result;
};
} Add a ComboBox based on an Entity
protected override void OnLoad()
{
View = () =>
{
var result = new ENV.UI.GridView(Products.ProductID, Products.ProductName);
var sup = new Models.Suppliers();
result.AddCombo(Products.SupplierID, sup, sup.SupplierID, sup.CompanyName);
result.AddCheckBox(Products.Discontinued);
result.AddAction("Do Something", () =>
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Test");
});
return result;
};
