Chapter Overview

 
In this training chapter you get familiar with the configuration possibilities of the UI Element Image.
 
 
 
TAB "Element Properties"
 
The TAB "Element Properties" contains the configuration for
 
  • UI container horizontal alignment (left, center, right)
  • UI element width configuration (percentage, pixel)
  • UI element height configuration (pixel)
     
 
 
 
 
 
TAB "Data Mapping"
 
The TAB "Data Mapping" contains the attribute type related mapping of the UI element
 
  • static image
  • dynamic image
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
TAB "Events"
 
The TAB "Events" contains the events and related "Action" and "Validation" scripts of the UI element.
 
  • onClick
  • onDoubleClick
     
    For each UI element the related event action is displayed at the right side of the UI element. In case of a validation error a default error message is displayed at the top right of the UI page and the action script is not executed.
     
     
     
     
     
     
    TAB "Visibility"
     
    The TAB "Visibility" contains the visibility configuration and the "Visibility" scripts of the UI element.
     
  • visible/invisible
     
    For each UI element the visibility can be changed by the checkbox "Visibility Toggle".
