RadioButtonGroup Events

RadioButtonGroup has the following events associated with it:

doLayout Event

This event is invoked for every widget when the widget position and dimensions are computed.

Syntax


doLayout()

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

This event is invoked for all the widgets placed inside flex containers. This event is invoked in the order in which the widgets are added to the widget hierarchy and expect the frame property of the widget is calculated and available for use within this event.

This event is used to set the layout properties of child widgets in the relation to self and peer widgets whose layout is not yet performed.

The number of times this event invoked may vary per platform. It is not recommended to write business logic assuming that this function is invoked only once when there is a change in positional or dimensional properties. This event will not trigger when transformations are applied though widget is moved or scaled or rotated from its original location.

Example

//Sample code to set doLayout event callback to a button widget.
/*This code changes the top property of button2 and makes it appear below button1.*/
myForm.button1.doLayout=doLayoutButton1;


function doLayoutButton1(){

    myForm.button2.top = myForm.button1.frame.height;
}

Platform Availability

iOS
Android

SPA

onFocus Event

An event that accepts a callback function as an input and executes the functionality defined in the callback function when the widget is in focus.

Syntax


onFocus()

Input Parameters

Callback function

A function that contains the logic to be implemented when the widget is in focus.

The callback function of the onFocus Event contains a new parameter, activeElement. The activeElement parameter specifies the widget that is currently in focus.

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

Assign a null value to the onFocus event of a widget to remove focus from the widget.

Example

//This is a generic event that is applicable for various widgets.
/*Here, we have shown how to use the onFocus event for a Button widget. You need to make a corresponding use of the onFocus event for other applicable widgets.*/

frmButton.myButton.onFocus = onFocusCallBack;

function onFocusCallBack(widget, activeElement) {
    console.log('onFocus event triggered');
}

Platform Availability

Available in the IDE
Available on the Responsive Web platform

onScrollWidgetPosition Event

This event callback is invoked by the platform when the widget location position gets changed on scrolling. The onScrollWidgetPosition event returns the positional coordinates of the widget's location with respect to the screen (screenX and screenY) and the parent container (frameX and frameY). This event is invoked asynchronously, and is not available for FlexForm widget.

Syntax


onScrollWidgetPosition()

Read/Write

Read + Write

Example

var LabelWdg = new voltmx.ui.Label(basicConf, layoutConf, pspConf);
form.add(LabelWdg);
LabelWdg.onScrollWidgetPosition = onScrollWidgetPositionCallBack;

function onScrollWidgetPositionCallBack(wdg, screenX, screenY, frameX, frameY) { //wdg : Widget that is registered for onScrollWidgetPosition.
    /*screenX : Position of widget with respect to 
the screen's X - coordinates (after downsizing the navigation bar and status bar).*/
    /*screenY : Position of widget with respect to the screen's Y - 
coordinates (after downsizing the navigation bar and status bar).*/
    //frameX : Position of widget with respect to parent container's X- coordinates.
    //frameY : Position of widget with respect to parent container's Y- coordinates.
}

Platform Availability

Not Accessible from IDE
Android, iOS, SPA, and Windows

onSelection Event

An event callback that is invoked by the platform when an item is selected or deselected.

Syntax


onSelection()

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

For Server side Mobile Web (Basic devices), this event is fired only when you make a selection and then write an onClick event for a button.

Example

//Sample code to set the onSelection event callback to a RadioButtonGroup widget.

frmRButton.myRButton.onSelection=onSelectionCallBack;
function onSelectionCallBack(radio){
  //Write your logic here.
 }

Platform Availability

Available on all platforms.

onTouchEnd Event

An event callback is invoked by the platform when the user touch is released from the touch surface.

Syntax


onTouchEnd ()

Optional Parameters

source

Handle to the widget reference on which the user touch has ended.

x

Specifies the x-coordinate with in the widget with respect to widget's co-ordinate system. It is a number indicating device independent pixel.

y

Specifies the y- coordinate with in the widget with respect to widget's co-ordinate system. It is a number indicating device independent pixel.

contextInfo

On devices that support 3D Touch, specifies a key-value pair where the value specifies the force of the touch. The value 1.0 represents the force of an average touch, as determined by the system.

Note: 3D Touch is available only on iOS 9.0 and later.

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

This event is invoked asynchronously.

Example

function onTouchEndCallback(source, x, y, contextInfo) {
    if (contextInfo) {
        var force = contextInfo[“force”];
        voltmx.print(“value of force is” + force)
    }
}
Form1.widget1.onTouchEnd = onTouchEndCallback;

Platform Availability

iOS, Android, Windows, and SPA

onTouchMove Event

An event callback is invoked by the platform when the touch moves on the touch surface continuously until movement ends.

Syntax


onTouchMove ()

Optional Parameters

source

Handle to the widget reference on which touch moves.

x

Specifies the x-coordinate with in the widget with respect to widget's co-ordinate system. It is a number indicating device independent pixel.

y

Specifies the y- coordinate with in the widget with respect to widget's co-ordinate system. It is a number indicating device independent pixel.

contextInfo

On devices that support 3D Touch, specifies a key-value pair where the value specifies the force of the touch. The value 1.0 represents the force of an average touch, as determined by the system.

    }
    Form1.widget1.onTouchMove = onTouchMoveCallback;

postOnclickJS Event

This event allows the developer to execute custom javascript function after the onSelection callback of the RadioButton is invoked.

Syntax


postOnclickJS()

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

This is applicable only for Mobile Web channel. The function must exist in a javascript file under project>module>js folder.

Example

//Sample code to set the postOnclickJS event callback to a RadioButtonGroup widget.

frmRButton.myRButton.postOnclickJS=postOnclickJSCallBck;
function postOnclickJSCallBck(radio){
  //Write your logic here.
 }

Platform Availability

Available in the IDE
Available on Server side Mobile Web (Advanced) platform only

preOnclickJS Event

This event allows the developer to execute custom javascript function before the onSelection callback of the RadioButton is invoked.

Syntax


preOnclickJS()

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

This is applicable only for Mobile Web channel. The function must exist in a javascript file under project>module>js folder.

This event should return true, to continue with execution of onSelection and postOnclickJS events.

In for the events preOnclickJS and postOnclickJS you will not be able to access application model or APIs, as these functions are executed in browser whereas the remaining JS modules are executed in server. For these events you can access browser objects ( window, document etc..) to change UI or perform some validation before server event. If the event preOnclickJS returns true, only then the request is sent to server for subsequent action. You have to specify the modules to be loaded in browser using import JS tab, only then these files get included in.html script tag otherwise you will not be able to access the objects defined in those modules.

Example

//Sample code to set the preOnclickJS event callback to a RadioButtonGroup widget.

frmRButton.myRButton.preOnclickJS=preOnclickJSCallBck;
function preOnclickJSCallBck(radio){
  //Write your logic here.
 }
