Placing 2 Buttons in a Dynamic Form behind TextItem

[andyx1975]

Hello,

I am using a dynamic form layout and I want to place an "Edit" and an "Delete" button behind a TextItem. I set 4 columns (2 column for texIten and 1 column for each button), but I can not place the "Delete" button in Column 4 behind the "Edit" button. Using "setStartRow( false )" ony works for one button. The second button will be placed in a new row instead of showing up in column 4 (see Screenshot). Somebody knows a working solution?

editorForm = new DynamicForm();
            editorForm.setNumCols(4);  
            editorForm.setWidth(800); 
            editorForm.setDataSource( dataSource );
            editorForm.setUseAllDataSourceFields( false );
            editorForm.setColWidths( 80, "*", 80, 80);

            comboType = new SelectItem ( "email_type", "Type" );
            comboType.setColSpan( 4 );
            comboType.setPickListWidth( 350 );
            comboType.setWidth( "*" );
            comboType.setOptionDataSource( CListSupplyMailTypes.getInstance() );

            txtTo = new TextItem( "to_recipients", "To" );
            txtTo.setWidth( "*" );
            txtTo.setWrapTitle( false );

            ButtonItem buttonEditTo = new ButtonItem( "editTo", "Edit" );
            buttonEditTo.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonEditTo.setStartRow( false );
            buttonEditTo.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );
            
            ButtonItem buttonDeleteTo = new ButtonItem( "deleteTo", "Löschen" );
            buttonDeleteTo.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonDeleteTo.setStartRow( false );
            buttonDeleteTo.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );

            txtCC = new TextItem( "cc_recipients", "CC" );
            txtCC.setWrapTitle( false );
            txtCC.setWidth( "*" );

            ButtonItem buttonEditCC = new ButtonItem( "editCC", "Edit" );
            buttonEditCC.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonEditCC.setStartRow( false );
            buttonEditCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );
            
            ButtonItem ButtonDeleteCC = new ButtonItem( "deleteCC", "Löschen" );
            ButtonDeleteCC.setWidth( "*" );
            ButtonDeleteCC.setStartRow( false );
            ButtonDeleteCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );

            txtBCC = new TextItem( "bcc_recipients", "BCC" );
            txtBCC.setWidth( "*" );

            ButtonItem buttonEditBCC = new ButtonItem( "editBCC", "Edit" );
            buttonEditBCC.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonEditBCC.setStartRow( false );
            buttonEditBCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );
            
            ButtonItem ButtonDeleteBCC = new ButtonItem( "deleteBCC", "Löschen" );
            ButtonDeleteBCC.setWidth( "*" );
            ButtonDeleteBCC.setStartRow( false );
            ButtonDeleteBCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );

            txtHeadline = new TextItem( "headline", "Headline" );
            txtHeadline.setColSpan( 4 );
            txtHeadline.setWidth( "*" );

            txtText = new TextAreaItem( "email_text", "Text" );
            txtText.setColSpan( 4 );
            txtText.setHeight( 400 );
            txtText.setWidth( "*" );

            checkSelfCopy = new CheckboxItem( "self_copy", "Send Copy to my adress" );
            checkSelfCopy.setColSpan( 4 );

            txtCreator = new StaticTextItem( "creator", "Creator" );
            txtCreator.setColSpan( 4 );
            txtCreationDate = new StaticTextItem( "creation_date", "Creation Date" );
            txtCreationDate.setColSpan( 4 );
            
            editorForm.setFields( comboType, txtTo, buttonEditTo, buttonDeleteTo, txtCC, buttonEditCC, ButtonDeleteCC, txtBCC, buttonEditBCC,
                                  ButtonDeleteBCC, txtHeadline, txtText, checkSelfCopy, txtCreator, txtCreationDate );
            
            editorForm.draw();

ok I found the solution...using "setEndRow(false/true)" and "setStartRow(false/true)" helped...so for everybody else a working solution is:

editorForm = new DynamicForm();
            editorForm.setNumCols(4);  
            editorForm.setWidth(800); 
            editorForm.setDataSource( dataSource );
            editorForm.setUseAllDataSourceFields( false );
            editorForm.setColWidths( 80, "*", 80, 80);

            comboType = new ComboBoxItem( "email_type", "Typ" );
            comboType.setOptionDataSource( CListSupplyMailTypes.getInstance() );
            comboType.setWidth( "*" );
            comboType.setPickListWidth( 600 );
            ListGridField tourNameField = new ListGridField( "email_type", "Type" );
            comboType.setPickListFields( tourNameField );
            comboType.setValueField( "ID" );
            comboType.setDisplayField( "email_type" );
            comboType.setColSpan( 1 );

            txtTo = new TextItem( "to_recipients", "To" );
            txtTo.setStartRow( true );
            txtTo.setEndRow( false );
            txtTo.setWidth( "*" );
            txtTo.setWrapTitle( false );

            ButtonItem buttonEditTo = new ButtonItem( "editTo", "Edit" );
            buttonEditTo.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonEditTo.setStartRow( false );
            buttonEditTo.setEndRow( false );
            buttonEditTo.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );
            
            ButtonItem buttonDeleteTo = new ButtonItem( "deleteTo", "Löschen" );
            buttonDeleteTo.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonDeleteTo.setStartRow( false );
            buttonDeleteTo.setEndRow( true );
            buttonDeleteTo.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );

            txtCC = new TextItem( "cc_recipients", "CC" );
            txtCC.setWrapTitle( false );
            txtCC.setWidth( "*" );

            ButtonItem buttonEditCC = new ButtonItem( "editCC", "Edit" );
            buttonEditCC.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonEditCC.setStartRow( false );
            buttonEditCC.setEndRow( false );
            buttonEditCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );
            
            ButtonItem buttonDeleteCC = new ButtonItem( "deleteCC", "Löschen" );
            buttonDeleteCC.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonDeleteCC.setStartRow( false );
            buttonDeleteCC.setEndRow( true );
            buttonDeleteCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );

            buttonEditBCC.setStartRow( false );
            buttonEditBCC.setEndRow( false );
            buttonEditBCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );
            
            ButtonItem buttonDeleteBCC = new ButtonItem( "deleteBCC", "Löschen" );
            buttonDeleteBCC.setWidth( "*" );
            buttonDeleteBCC.setStartRow( false );
            buttonDeleteBCC.setEndRow( true );
            buttonDeleteBCC.setIcon( "icons/32x32/users.png" );

            txtHeadline = new TextItem( "headline", "Headline" );
            txtHeadline.setEndRow( true );
            txtHeadline.setWidth( "*" );

            txtText = new TextAreaItem( "email_text", "Text" );
            txtText.setColSpan( 1 );
            txtText.setHeight( 400 );
            txtText.setWidth( "*" );

            checkSelfCopy = new CheckboxItem( "self_copy", "Send Copy to my adress" );
            checkSelfCopy.setColSpan( 2 );

            txtCreator.setColSpan( 2 );
            txtCreationDate = new StaticTextItem( "creation_date", "Creation Date" );
            txtCreationDate.setColSpan( 2 );
            
            editorForm.setFields( comboType, txtTo, buttonEditTo, buttonDeleteTo, txtCC, buttonEditCC, buttonDeleteCC, txtBCC, buttonEditBCC,
                                  buttonDeleteBCC, txtHeadline, txtText, checkSelfCopy, txtCreator, txtCreationDate );
            
            editorForm.draw();

            layout.addMember( editorForm );
