12.0p FormItem showIconsOnFocus issues

[Blama]

Hi Isomorphic,

please see this modified sample (v12.0p_2018-08-10):

var valueMap = {
    "US" : "United States",
    "CH" : "China",
    "JA" : "Japan",
    "IN" : "India",
    "GM" : "Germany",
    "FR" : "France",
    "IT" : "Italy",
    "RS" : "Russia",
    "BR" : "Brazil",
    "CA" : "Canada",
    "MX" : "Mexico",
    "SP" : "Spain"
}

isc.DynamicForm.create({
    ID:"showIconsOnFocusForm", colWidths:["*", "*"],
    isGroup:true, groupTitle:"Show Icons On Focus",
    width:650, padding:5, canTabToIcons:false, titleOrientation:"top",

    items:[

        {type:"BlurbItem", value:"Picker Icons"},

        {name:"comboBoxItem", editorType:"ComboBoxItem",
            title:"Combo Box", valueMap:valueMap, width:"100%",
            showPickerIconOnFocus:true
        },
        {name:"dateItem", editorType:"DateItem", useTextField:true, width:"100%",
            title:"Date Item",
            showPickerIconOnFocus:true},
        {name: "colorItem", editorType:"ColorItem", width:"100%",
            title:"Color Item",
            showPickerIconOnFocus:true},
        {name:"spinnerItem", editorType:"SpinnerItem", width:"100%",
            title:"Spinner Item",
            showPickerIconOnFocus:true},

        {type:"RowSpacerItem"},
        {type:"BlurbItem", value:"Custom Icons"},

        // Show custom icons on focus
        {name:"customIcon", editorType:"SelectItem",
            title:"External Icon",
            showIconsOnFocus:true,
            value:2,
            valueMap:{
                1:"Severity 1",
                2:"Severity 2",
                3:"Severity 3"
            },
            helpText: "<br><b>Severity 1</b> - Critical problem<br>System is unavailable in production or " +
                       "is corrupting data, and the error severely impacts the user's operations." +
                       "<br><br><b>Severity 2</b> - Major problem<br>An important function of the system " +

             icons: [{
                src: "other/help.png",
                click: "isc.say(item.helpText)"
             }]
        },
        {name:"inclineIcons", editorType:"TextItem",
            title:"Inline Icons",
            suppressBrowserClearIcon:true,
            showIconsOnFocus:true,
            icons: [{
                name: "view",
                src: "[SKINIMG]actions/view.png",
                hspace: 5,
                inline: true,
                baseStyle: "roundedTextItemIcon",
                showRTL: true
            }, {
                name: "clear",
                src: "[SKINIMG]actions/close.png",
                width: 10,
                height: 10,
                inline: true,
                prompt: "Clear this field",

                click : function (form, item, icon) {
                    item.clearValue();
                    item.focusInItem();
                }
            }],

            iconWidth: 16,
            iconHeight: 16
        }       
    ]
});

Issues:

1. SpinnerItem does not support showPickerIconOnFocus:true
2. With titleOrientation:"top" only, the "Inline Icons" FormItem needs two clicks to activate, when coming from the SelectItem:
   (Change from "Color Item" OK, Change from "External Icon" needs two clicks)

SpinnerItem does not support showPickerIconOnFocus:true

Technically the spinner item icons aren't a picker icon, so this should be activated via 'showIconsOnFocus' rather than 'showPickerIconOnFocus'. This actually works with 'writeStackedIcons' set to false. We agree it should work in both cases and we'll get that fixed.
(No ETA on this yet - we wouldn't consider it an urgent issue to resolve, but if it's something you need, let us know and we'll reprioritize accordingly)

With titleOrientation:"top" only, the "Inline Icons" FormItem needs two clicks to activate, when coming from the SelectItem:
(Change from "Color Item" OK, Change from "External Icon" needs two clicks)

In our testing this behavior is unchanged by the titleOrientation.
What's actually happening is that when the pickList is up, it shows a clickMask, and a click outside the pickList is intercepted and dismisses the pickList - meaning the item under the mouse won't get focus.
This behavior is unrelated to (and predates) the showIconsOnFocus feature

Hi Isomorphic,

This is fine for me. If at all, I'm only using this where it does not result in more clicks - so far this is only SelectItem, I think.

In our testing this behavior is unchanged by the titleOrientation.

Ah, yes. I can see the clickmask swallowing clicks elsewhere as well. What is the reason for having this clickmask? Is it needed or somehow best practice regarding UI?
The ComboBoxItem in the sample does not have a clickmask. From the users POV SelectItem and ComboBoxItem are very similar.
