Properties in View Designer

• height

  Height of the UI element; see also Methods and Properties of UI Elements. This property can be personalized by administrators.

• imeMode

  Control of the frontend IMS mode.

  IME (Input Method Editor) is a basic component for writing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. This system of writing has more characters than could be keyed in using a normal (restricted) keyboard. IME enables users to key in and edit Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters using a normal (restricted) keyboard.

  The following values are possible:

  Value	Description
  active	IME mode is active but can be deactivated
  auto	IME mode setting is disregarded
  disabled	IME mode is inactive but cannot be activated
  inactive	IME mode is inactive but can be activated

  Specifies whether FormattedTextEdit can be edited or only displayed. This property can be personalized by administrators. In personalization, this property can be assigned the value: true

• state

  Value	Description
  normal	Initial Value Nothnig happens.
  required	The UI element FormattedTextEdit is mandatory. This is displayed with an asterisk in front of the label (see graphic):

  The following method calls can be used to check the mandatory fields:

  • cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>check_mandatory_attributes()

  • cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>check_mandatory_attr_on_view()

  As soon as one of these method calls has been triggered, the system checks whether the referenced value is still initial or has been changed. If it has been changed, nothing happens. If it is still iniital, a message appears that consists of an icon and a link. When a link is selected, the focus is set on the referenced UI element. This is done using the context attribute.

• textDirection

  Text or writing direction.

  This enables labels of interface elements to be read in languages that have an RTL writing direction, such as Arabic or Hebrew, as opposed to LTR for languages like English.

  This property can be personalized by administrators.
