6.5 Inserting an ADF Output Text Component

The ADF Output Text component is a component that you can insert into the active worksheet using the components palette. The active cell in the worksheet when you insert the component displays the current value from the component’s binding after you invoke the worksheet DownSync action. The value the component displays is read-only. Changes that the end user makes to the value in the cell that anchors the component are ignored when changes are sent to the Fusion web application. This component can also serve as a subcomponent for the ADF Table and ADF Read-only Table components. Columns in the ADF Table and ADF Read-only Table components can be configured to use the ADF Output Text component. You can configure a number of properties for the component such as style, behavior when a user double-clicks the cell DoubleClickActionSet properties, and position, in the worksheet using the property inspector. Figure 6–4 shows an ADF Output Text component with its property inspector in the foreground. The ADF Output Text component references an ADF Table component in the Master Price List module of the Fusion Order Demo application. At runtime, the cell that anchors the ADF Output Text component displays any errors returned by the ADF Table component. Table 6–2 ADF Input Text component properties For this property... Specify... InputText.Value An EL expression for the Value property to determine what binding the component references.

False is the default value. Note: You can modify the properties of the component at a later time by selecting the cell in the worksheet that anchors the component and then displaying the property inspector. You can also right-click in the cell and choose Edit Component from the context menu to open the property inspector.
