Unable to set WebInput in client side using SetValueData() – Urgent!

Hello Mark,

Our developer has added new logic to SetReadOnly method. While it is being fixed, you can apply below snippet code for your scenario. In the next release, you can ignore the code.

        function setWI_valueTest(controlID)
        {
            var el = ISGetObject(controlID);
            var txt = document.getElementById('txt1');
            if (txt)
            {
                var newDT = new Date(txt.value);
                if (newDT)
                {
                    if (el)
                    {
                        WI_setReadOnly(controlID, false); // set to read only
                        el.SetValueData(newDT, true);
                        el.SetReadOnly(true);
                        el.EditFormat.ReadOnly = true;
                        el.GetControlElement().removeAttribute("readOnly");
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        function getWI_value(controlID)
        {
            var IS_WI = ISGetObject(controlID);
            if (IS_WI)
            {
                return IS_WI.GetValueData();
            }
        }
        function WI_setReadOnly(controlId, readOnly)
        {
            var IS_WI = ISGetObject(controlId);
            if (IS_WI)
            {
                IS_WI.SetReadOnly(readOnly);
                IS_WI.GetControlElement().setAttribute("readOnly", "readonly");
                return true;
            }
        }
        function setDT(controlID, isReadOnly)
        {
            setFocusISWebInput(controlID)
            WI_setReadOnly(controlID, true); //false is passed; make it writable
            return true;
        }
        function setFocusISWebInput(controlID)
        {
            var WI = ISGetObject(controlID);
            if (WI)
            {
                WI.SetFocus();
                return true;
            }
        }
        function WI_OnAfterValueChanged(controlId, newValue, newText)
        {
            alert('value changed!')
        }
        function setWI_Date(controlId)
        {
            setWI_valueTest(controlId)
        }

Hi Handy,

FullPostBack is not an option for me since the form i'm working on loads around 8-10 sec. I cannot afford reloading just to set one control. I need this fix as ASAP. I'm using your WebInput very extensively mostly for datetime entries. Being able to set the read only flags on and off is compulsory for this app security. So please escalate this issue and let me know the time line. If this will not be resoved soon it will put my project in jeopardy.

Thank you for your help

Mark

Hello,

Your sample is corrupted. However, I can see your issue in here. After SetReadOnly(false), it could not SetReadOnly(true). For temporary workaround, please try FullPostBack approach.
I will report this issue to our developer teams. Also, you could not change the EditFormat with javascript approach. There is no available method to change that.

Handy

Hello Handy,

Thanks for your aswer but i still have a problem. After seting value i want the control to be read only again but this does not happen. Not my sequence is as following

1. Page Load WI.ReadOnly = true (server side)

2. User clicks button[SetValueData] (all client side, see my sample)

-WI.SetReadOnly(false);

-WI.SetValueData(newDT, true);

-WI.SetReadOnly(true); ... this is not happening you can still edit the value!

Is there still I'm doing something wrong?

And after WI.SetValueData() how can i make cotrol to display Formatted date

"yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm"

instead of Edit/Mask format

"yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm"

? Please reffer to my sample...

Hello Mark,

I can see the behavior that you referred to. It happens because you were misunderstanding the concept.
You should not set the value when WebInput still in ReadOnlymode.
If you set the value when the ReadOnlymode is still true, it would cause the ReadOnlycould not be set as false.

The correct sequence should be:
1.ReadOnly false;
2.SetValueData();
3.SetFocus();

Hope this helps.

Handy

I was unable to open or save the attached sample file in your previous post.
Could you please kindly re-attach the sample so that we can continue to investigate the problematic behavior?

Hi Handy,

Thanks for the tip.

How can I display formatted date time immediately after calling SetValueData() instead of edit format. Is there another function I need to call? I have attached sample to illustrate the my concern.

I have noticed that I need to change the value of the control in order to switch to Display Format,

Also if you could check if I’m using correct functions for setting ReadOnly and focus. I’m not able to set focus on the control if I do the following in sequence:

1 PageLoad ... WI.ReadOnly = true;

2 action: WI. SetValueData()

3. WI.readOnly = false;

4. WI.SetFocus();

Is there a timing issue?

Thanks

Mark

Hi,

I’m not able to set the date time value in client side. I was trying to use SetValueData() and el.Value = dateTimeValue.

Nothing works. I need this very urgently. If there is no solution I will have to look for some other control with similar functionality.

Sample code included.

Please help!

Thank you in advance

Mark
