Class SubformSet

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Peer
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    FormSubformSet
    public class SubformSet
extends Container
    An element that describes a set of related subform objects.

    A subformSet has an attribute called relation, that describes the relationship between the subforms contained in the subform set. The value of the relation attribute can be on of "ordered", "unordered", or "choice".

    When the subforms in a subformSet are dynamically created based on the data specified for the template, it is the relation attribute which defines in what order the subforms will be instantiated.

    Let's take the following example: 

     
  Example 1:
  In this example with relation set to "unordered", we can expect to see forms
  with the following structures:
 
  "abcd"
  "acbd"
  "acccbbbcbbbbbcbcbd"
 
  subforms "c" and "b" can appear in any order.<br/>
 
  Example 2:
  If the relation attribute was "ordered" we can expect to see forms with the
  following structure:<br/>
 
  "abcd"
  "abbbbbbbbbcccccccccd"
 
  subforms "b" and "c" must appear in the order they appear in the
  subform set.
 
  Example 3:
  finally, if the relation attribute was "choice", we can expect to see forms
  with the following structure:
 
  "abd"
  "acd"
  "abbbbbbbbbbbbd"
  "accccccccccccd"
 
  Where you only have a choice of "b" or "c" from the available subforms in
  the subformSet.

        Description copied from class: Container
        Return whether or not this container support growable widths This does not indicate whether the container height is currently growable, just whether it's supported by this container type.

        Comments Helps distinguish - ie text draws supporting growing but arc draws do not.
