DdsCharFieldTagHelper class | QSYS API Reference Guide

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Defines an input element where characters can be typed using a keyboard. The captured value will be posted as the value entered into a field.

Namespace: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Tags Assembly: ASNA.QSys.Expo.Tags.dll

Inheritance: Object –> TagHelper –> FieldBase –> DdsFieldBase

Remarks

To define an input-capable Fixed String, use the DdsCharField Tag Helper.

For example, the following markup defines an input text element for the field SFNAME in the CUSTREC record (defined in the Model).

<div Row="4">
    .
    .
    .
    <DdsCharField Col="27" For="CUSTREC.SFNAME" PositionCursor="67"/>
</div>

The field SFNAME is defined in the Model file, like so:

public class CUSTREC_Model : RecordModel
{
    .
    .
    .
    [Char(40)]
    public string SFNAME { get; set; }

Note how the Char attribute defines the fixed length of 40 characters. The property accessors define the field Usage. In this example, the field is public get and public set, defining it as BOTH readable as well as writable.
