Textbox.bordercolor - does wiseJ do this?

If you change the AppearanceKey then you have to restore it. Try

public string HobbsAlert => HobbsFinish == HobbsStart ? “textbox” : “required”;

Wisej only renders the changed apperance key name.

Hi,

I’m resurrecting this thread with a related issue.

I have implemented the “required” functionality sucessfully in code, however there seems to be a bug when databinding …

With the following property in the bound entity:
public string HobbsAlert => HobbsFinish ==  HobbsStart ? “” : “required”;
And the following binding:
this.textBox1.DataBindings.Add(new Wisej.Web.Binding(“AppearanceKey”, this.bsLesson, “HobbsAlert”, true));

It works until the first “required”, ie. the textbox remains normal while moving through records without a HobbsAlert, but as soon as one is encountered the textbox goes red (correctly) but then remains red regardless of HobbsAlert.

Cheers,
Neil

Hi Shawn,

I don´t see an attachment in your post.

Please find here a simple sample with one textbox that is set to “required”:

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the response.  I don’t know what the AppearanceKey.

Are you saying that the textbox would have a “normal” appearance, then if I did the mixin, and set .AppearanceKey = “Required”, that it would than have a red boarder?

Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I don’t appear to know what I am doing 🙂

I have attached the mixin file that I created.

Hi Shawn,

there are a couple of ways to achieve this. One is using a theme mixin
where you can control much more than just the border color.

Here is a simple sample:

{
“appearances”: {
“required”: {
“inherit”: “textbox”,
“states”: {
“default”: {
“styles”: {
“width”: [ 1, 1, 1, 1 ],
“style”: [ “solid”, “solid”, “solid”, “solid” ],
“color”: “red”
}
}
}
}
}
}

Just create a new file called e.g. RequiredRed.mixin.theme, set it´s content to the lines above and add it to your Themes folder.

Then change the AppearanceKey of required TextBoxes to “required” and they appear with red border.

Hope that helps.

Best regards
Frank
