6.4 Inserting an ADF Input Text Component

The ADF Input 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 the worksheet DownSync action is invoked. End users can edit this value at runtime. You configure the worksheet UpSync action to transfer changes end users make to the value back to the Fusion web application and a Commit action binding to commit the changes in the Fusion web application. You can configure a number of properties for the component, such as its position, style and behavior when a user double-clicks the cell DoubleClickActionSet properties, in the worksheet using the property inspector. For more information about DoubleClickActionSet, see Section 8.2, Using Action Sets. The ADF Table component can invoke this component as a subcomponent when you set values for the ADF Table component column’s InsertComponent or UpdateComponent properties. In this context, the ADF Input Text component enables the end user to input data into the ADF Table component. For more information, see Section 7.5, Configuring an ADF Table Component to Insert Data. Figure 6–3 shows an ADF Input Text component with its property inspector in the foreground. The ADF Input Text component binds to the searchTerm attribute binding in the Master Price List module of the Fusion Order Demo application. The end user enters a search term in this component and then uses an ADF Button component to invoke a search. Figure 6–3 ADF Input Text Component To insert an ADF Input Text component: 1.
