The Configure Radio Group task panel enables you to define attributes for a radio group control. A radio group control is a selection control consisting of radio buttons, one for each value that a user can select. Only one radio button can be selected at any time.

The following table describes the properties and attributes of this model element:

Group

Property

Description

General

Label

The label text to be displayed to the left of the control.

You can either enter the text directly in the Label field, or click the fx button to define the label text using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Value

The field to which the control is bound. You can either enter the field data directly in the Value field, choose a field from the dropdown list, or choose Define expression from the dropdown list to specify a field value using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Specify the field using one of the following formats:

  • A field in the same view element: =@BANK_CTRY

  • A field in a different view element within the same component: =BANK_LIST@BANK_CTRY

  • A field in a view element within a different component: =[bapi_bank_getlist.Input]@BANK_CTRY

Enabled

Indicates whether the control is enabled or disabled at runtime. A disabled control is displayed, but is grayed out (including the label), and cannot be activated by the runtime user.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is enabled or disabled, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is enabled or disabled at runtime.

Visible

Indicates whether the control is hidden or displayed at runtime.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is hidden or visible, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is displayed or hidden at runtime.

Indent

Defines the alignment of the control within the layout column.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is indented or left-aligned, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is indented at runtime.

For some control types, left-aligning the control hides the label and stretches the control to fill the entire column width; for other control types, it hides the label and left-aligns the control (without changing the control width).

Tooltip

Text to be displayed in a tooltip over the element at runtime.

You can either enter the tooltip text directly in the Tooltip field, or click the fx button to define the tooltip using the Dynamic Expression Editor dialog box.

Action

The event to be triggered or action to be executed when a control value is entered at runtime.

You can either enter the name of a custom action directly in the Action field, or you can click the browse button to open the Define Action dialog box and define an action. Use an asterisk (*) before an event name to indicate that if any event of the same name (without the asterisk) is raised, all events of the name with the asterisk will respond.

More information: Define Action Dialog Box

Entry list

Enables you to create a predefined list of entries to be used as input for the control at runtime.

You can click the browse button to open the Entry List Wizard or Edit Entry List dialog box and create or modify the entry list for this control.

More information: Entry List Wizard

Columns

The number of columns in which to display the radio buttons in the control.

Metadata

Source field from which to take the metadata for the field bound to this control.

Validation

Note Note

The options in this group are only available if the control is bound to a field.

End of the note.

Required

Indicates whether the control is mandatory. A mandatory control must be filled in or selected at runtime, otherwise an error message is displayed.

On the Design board, a Required field is displayed with a red asterisk. At runtime, the appearance of a Required control depends on the runtime implementation.

You can select or deselect the checkbox to specify whether the control is mandatory or optional, or click the fx button to define the expression that specifies under which condition the control is mandatory or optional at runtime.

Rules

Enables you to open the Validation Rules dialog box (by clicking the browse button), in which you can define rules that check the validity of values entered into the control at runtime and display error messages when the validation fails.

More information: Validation Rules Dialog Box

Behavior

Specifies the behavior of the runtime application if the control does not pass validation. The following options are available:

  • Normal: A validation error on the control is indicated in a nonintrusive manner, for example, by using a red border and/or a tooltip. The actual behavior depends on the runtime implementation.

  • Severe: A validation error on the control is indicated in an intrusive manner, for example, by using a modal dialog box. The actual behavior depends on the runtime implementation.

Note Note

The specified validation behavior can also affect whether an action on a control is performed if validation fails.
