convert '() to list()

loboveena

I am creating a form which has multiple tab fields and want to display only those tabs that meet a certain condition. So the output I get is of type list but in the format '() . The problem I have is providing this list to the ?fields argument of hiCreateTabField() function as it looks for the input in the format "list()" .

Is it possible to convert '() to list() in skill ?

I am aware of the visible/invisible option to do this but this is not what I want.

Thanks,

Veena

  • Hi Veena,

    There are several ways to achieve this. One is to rely on a property
    on the form that is named such that it suggests it should be treated as
    private and liable to change:

    pageName=nthelem(f->tabFld->value f->tabFld->_hi_altNames)

    for example, this would give page_flow2.

    Personally I don't like this. For a start, it depends on a private property
    (the underscore at the beginning is the clue), plus it's encoded - so
    spaces get collapsed to underscores, and so on.

    So what I would do is store your tab names on each page. After the
    hiCreateTabField line in your code, I'd add:

    foreach((page tab) tabFld->fieldList tabs_to_be_displayedL
      get(tabFld page)->myTabName=tab
    )

    Now when you want to retrieve the tab name:

    tabName=get(f->tabFld nthelem(f->tabFld->value f->tabFld->fieldList))->myTabName

    so this would return "Setup", "flow1" etc.

    Andrew.
