Characteristics of a Looper control in a window

Overview

To display the control characteristics, select "Description" from the popup menu of control. In a window, the attributes not being proposed by default, only the characteristics of Looper control will be displayed.

The main control characteristics are grouped in the following tabs:

The "General" tab displays the list of controls found in the Looper control.
The "GUI" tab is used to select the initial status, the selection mode, the popup menu, ...
Versions 22 and later
This tab is also used to manage the fill of a memory Looper control (displaying a progress bar or a window, ...). See Filling a memory Looper control for more details.

Selection mode

The following selection modes are proposed in a Looper control:

No selection: The selection bar is not displayed on the selected row. However, the event "Selecting a row" in run when the row is selected.
Single selection: The selection bar is displayed on the selected row. The code in the event "Selecting a row" is run.
Multi-selection: The selection bar is displayed on the selected rows. To select several rows, hold the Shift or Ctrl key down. The event "Selecting a row" is run whenever a row is selected.
Multi-selection via simple click: This option is used to perform a multi-selection with the mouse. If this option is selected, all you have to do is click a row in order for this row to be added to the multi-selection or removed from the multi-selection.
Versions 17 and later
Android/iOS selection mode: This option is used to hide the selection bar after the selection. This allows you to get the standard operating mode on these platforms: the bar appears when pressing on the row. Then, the code for row selection is run.
New in version 17

"Height of rows resizable".
"Width of columns resizable".

You can allow the user to resize the cells found in a Looper control. In the "Details" tab of control description, all you have to do is check "Resizable" found in front of the following options:

Remark: The default height of a row can be specified.

Input parameters and scrollbar display

Input parameters

The input parameters are used to specify the behavior of browsing Looper controls in edit. The possible options are as follows:

Cascading input: Pressing the Enter key in an edit control is used to automatically perform an input in a new row.
This option is not available.
Lock the record in modification: When modifying a row, the corresponding record in the data file will be automatically locked until the modification is validated.
Save during row exit or Save during column exit: The record currently modified or created will be automatically saved in the corresponding data file as soon as the row is no longer selected. If this option is not selected, the record must be saved by programming with LooperSave.

Scrollbar

The display of horizontal/vertical scrollbar can be:

automatic: the scrollbar will be displayed when necessary.
always visible: the scrollbar will always be displayed.
never visible: the scrollbar will never be displayed.

Filling a memory Looper control

Specific information can be displayed when filling a memory Looper control:

Progress Bar,
Information window, ...

To display an information when filling a memory Looper control:

Display the Looper control description window.
In the "UI" tab of the description window of control, check "Display an internal window above the rows".
Specify (if necessary) the internal window that will be used. You can:
- use the window proposed by default by WINDEV ("None" option).
- import into the project the preset window proposed by WINDEV in order to customize it ("Preset window" option). If this option is selected, the internal window is immediately added into the current project and it is associated with the feature.
  Remark: We advise you to copy the window into the directory of current project. The internal window is named "IW_TableLoadStatus".
Validate (if necessary) the description window of control.
To enable this mechanism, call LooperStartFilling and LooperEndFilling to frame the code used to fill the Looper control.

Remarks:

By default, the "No available data" message is displayed in the empty Looper control. During the fill operation, an infinite progress bar is displayed at the bottom of Looper control.
The internal window proposed by default contains 3 planes:
- Plane 1 containing an infinite progress bar.
- Plane 2 containing the caption displayed if the Looper control is empty. The caption "No available data" is displayed by default.
- Plane 3 containing the caption displayed before the call to LooperStartFilling.
The internal window named "IW_TableLoadStatus" is also used to manage the fill of memory Table controls.

Versions 23 and later

Variable row content

The Looper controls allow you to customize the appearance of rows: layout, content, ...

Implementation

To create a Looper control with variable content:

Creating a memory Looper control (filled by programming). This control must be a vertical Looper control containing a single column.
Display the Looper control description window.
In the "Content" tab of control description:
- Check "Use an internal window per row".
- Indicate the mode for unloading the internal windows:
  - Never: The internal windows are loaded when the associated row is visible in the control. The unload is never performed when using the control. It is performed when closing the window. This mode is recommended if there are few internal windows and if they do not contain too many controls .
    Benefit: The entire data is always available
    Drawback: Large memory consumption.
  - When the row is no longer visible (option selected by default): The internal windows are loaded when the associated row is visible in the control. The unload is performed when the row is not visible anymore. This mode is recommended for the non-editable Looper controls. Indeed, if an internal window allows the input, the content typed by the user is lost when this internal window is no longer visible.
    Benefit: Consumes few memory.
    Drawback: Loss of information typed by the user.
  - Row not visible + IW containing read-only controls: The internal windows are loaded when the associated row is visible in the control. The unload is performed according to the type of row:
    - If the row contains no control allowing the user input, the associated internal window is unloaded when it is no longer visible.
    - If the row allows the input, the associated internal window is never unloaded.
Validate the description window of control.
Create the different internal windows corresponding to the rows of Looper control.

Add the internal windows into the Looper control via the following functions:


Versions 23 and later LooperAddIW New in version 23 LooperAddIW LooperAddIW	Adds a row corresponding to an internal window at the end of a memory Looper control.
Versions 23 and later LooperInsertIW New in version 23 LooperInsertIW LooperInsertIW	Inserts a row corresponding to an internal window into a memory Looper control.
Versions 23 and later LooperModifyIW New in version 23 LooperModifyIW LooperModifyIW	Modifies a row corresponding to an internal window in a memory Looper control.

Characteristics of internal windows

The characteristics regarding the width and height of internal windows are as follows:

Height: The height of the row using an internal window exactly corresponds to the height of internal window defined in edit. The height of internal window cannot exceed the height of Looper control.
Width:
- If the width of internal window is smaller than the width of Looper control, the width of internal window is automatically increased and anchors are applied.
- If the width of internal window exceeds the width of Looper control, the internal window is automatically truncated.
In most cases, we advise you to create the internal window with the smallest possible width and to use anchors.

Remark: If the internal window includes controls adapted to content, the row height will be increased or reduced according to the content.

New in version 23

Variable row content

    - If the row contains no control allowing the user input, the associated internal window is unloaded when it is no longer visible.
    - If the row allows the input, the associated internal window is never unloaded.
Validate the description window of control.
