Text item title is not showing

[nestedxyz]

Hi

I am using smartgwt 2.2

I creted a dynamic form and set items by using method setItems(.....)

I am setting checkbox items and text items but i notice that title for checkbox items are showing but text item title is not showing, only area for entering text is showing.

I am using Absolute layout for form using dynamicForm.setItemLayout(FormLayoutType.ABSOLUTE);

If i did not use absolute layout then there is no problem but i need to use absolute layout for proper positioning of formitems


Any suggestions please!

Thanks

Hi nestedxya,
If you've gone through the documentation of DynamicForm.SetItemLayout(), it's clearly mentioned that If you use FormLayoutType.ABSOLUTE, titles will not be shown. To get a work around, you can use StaticTextItem to be shown as title.

Can you post your code here? (Make sure I should also be able to generate the case.)

Note that the staticTextItem will not show a title either - only it's contents.

vLayout = new VLayout();
vLayout.setDragAppearance(DragAppearance.TARGET);  
vLayout.setOverflow(Overflow.AUTO);  
vLayout.setRedrawOnResize(true);
vLayout.setMembersMargin(10);  
vLayout.setMinWidth(100);  
vLayout.setMinHeight(50); 

vLayout.addMember(getDiagnosisForm());

public DynamicForm getDiagnosisForm() {
		if(diagnosisForm==null){
			diagnosisForm = new DynamicForm();
			diagnosisForm.setGroupTitle("Diagnosis");  
			diagnosisForm.setIsGroup(true);
			diagnosisForm.setWidth100();
			diagnosisForm.setHeight(50);
			diagnosisForm.setColWidths(100, "*");  
			diagnosisForm.setBorder("0px solid blue");  
			diagnosisForm.setPadding(10);  
			diagnosisForm.setCellSpacing(10);
			diagnosisForm.setCanDragResize(true);  
			diagnosisForm.setResizeFrom("R"); 
			diagnosisForm.setItemLayout(FormLayoutType.ABSOLUTE);
			diagnosisForm.setItems(getTestStatic());
			diagnosisForm.setValuesManager(valuesManager);

		}
		return diagnosisForm;
	}

	private StaticTextItem getTestStatic() {
		if(testStatic==null){
			testStatic = new StaticTextItem("testStatic","Test");
		}
		return testStatic;
}

This is neither showing title nor field for entering text

Also I want some thing in which I can enter text.
Using StaticTextItem will not allow me to enter text just like TextItem

I think I did some mistake last time.

StaticTextItem is working for me.

Once again thanks for help ! :)
