Canvas provides the following APIs for rendering form containers:
- getWindow
- getWindowByFormId
- getWindowByFormObj
getWindow() API
Use the getWindow API to open a blank form using the container id without any data being displayed on the form.
The syntax for this API is:
CBXFORMCONTAINER.getWindow("CONTAINER_ID", config) /* * In this API, * 'CONTAINER_ID' is a mandatory parameter. This should be the container, which has the Form ID configured to it. * 'config' is an optional parameter. This parameter should contain the configuration of the container.
A sample code for reference is as follows:
CBXFORMCONTAINER.getWindow("CONTAINER_EVE_TYPE_MASTER");
- CBXFORMCONTAINER.getWindowByFormId("FORM_ID","CONTAINER_ID",modelData, configObj)
Use this API to open a form using the container id and form id with data, when a same form has multiple containers.In this API,
FORM_ID – This is a mandatory parameter. This should be the form id, which has thecontainers configured for it.
CONTAINER_ID – This is also mandatory parameter. This should be the container, whichhas the same Form Id configured to it.
ModelData – This is an optional parameter. This should be the array of data values to seton the Form Items.
config – This is an optional parameter. This parameter contains the configuration of thecontainer; in addition to it, this object also contains the isTxnHdrReqd flag and the Transaction Header form to handle the transaction data flow.
A sample code for reference is shown below:
CBXFORMCONTAINER.getWindowByFormId("UPDATE_PREF_FORM", "UPDATE_PREF_FORM_CONTAINER", null,null)
- CBXFORMCONTAINER.getWindowByFormObj(formObj, "CONTAINER_ID", configObj)
Use this API to open a form using the container id (regardless of form id configuration to it) and the form manager object.In this API,
formObject – This is a mandatory parameter. This should be the form manager object thatcontains the form id, which has the containers configured for it.
CONTAINER_ID – This is also mandatory parameter. This should be the container, whichhas the same Form Id configured to it.
config – This is an optional parameter. This parameter contains the configuration of thecontainer; in addition to it, this object also contains the isTxnHdrReqd flag and the Transaction Header form to handle the transaction data flow.
A sample code for reference is shown below:
var eventForm = new cbx.form.FormManager( { formId : "ALERT_HANDLER_FORM", mode : 'edit', modelData:\ { 'EVENT_ID': eventid, 'CHECK_DUPLICATION': count_alert, }); CBXFORMCONTAINER.getWindowByFormObj(eventForm, "CONTAINER_ALERT_HANDLER", null);
