NativeContainer Events

The NativeContainer Widget has the following events associated with it:

Note: Do not remove the layout/view (passed as parameter in the callbacks) from its parent. If the layout/view is removed, unexpected behavior results.

Note: Unexpected behaviors may result if you modify any property of the layout returned from the callbacks.

onCleanup Event

Using the onCleanup event, you can clear the views/widgets created using the onCreated event, when the form is being hidden (that is, when the form transition happens from one form to another).

Syntax


onCleanup ()

Parameters

NativeContainer View to which children are added.

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

You are supposed to clear/clean up all the native widgets/views created in the callback. If not cleaned up properly, all views/widgets will reside in memory resulting into memory and performance consequences.

If required, you can re-create the widgets in the onCreated callback.

The value of the native layout view becomes null when the onCleanup event is executed.

Example


//Sample code to set the onCleanup event callback to a NativeContainer widget.

frmNativeC.myNativeC.onCleanup=nativeCleanUp;
function nativeCleanUp(eventobject){
  //Write your logic here.
 }

onCreated Event

The onCreated callback event helps you create and add native widgets/views to the NativeContainer Widget, which is passed as a parameter to the callback.

Syntax


onCreated ()

Parameters

NativeContainer View to which children can be added.

Read/Write

Read + Write

Remarks

The widgets added to the NativeContainer are shown on the screen as children elements to the NativeContainer along with other Volt MX Iris widgets placed in the form. The callback event will be called after the pre-show, when the actual form is about to show.

Only native views/widgets should be added to the native layout view. You should not add any Volt MX Iris widgets to the NativeContainer.

Example


//Sample code to set the onCreated event callback to a NativeContainer widget.

frmNativeC.myNativeC.onCreated=createdCallbackCheck;
function createdCallbackCheck(eventobject){
  //Write your logic here.
