Creating a derived custom widget and initialization
Posted: Tue Apr 16, 2019 6:41 pm
I saw the example of creating a derived custom widget at http://www.profoundlogic.com/docs/displ ... ved+widget
Is it possible to create an initialization function to call when the derived widget is loaded?
For example, in the example for creating a custom widget from scratch at http://www.profoundlogic.com/docs/displ ... om+Scratch
The "field type" property of propertySetters is initialized to a function for initializing the widget.
Is there a way to do something like this for a custom derived widget? I tried setting the "field type" property to a function, but it does not appear to be firing when the widget is loaded.
For reference, this is what I tried just to see if I could get the "field type" event to fire when the widget is loaded. Will I have to create the widget from scratch in order to get this functionality?

Code: Select all
pui.toolbox.add({
category: "Custom Widgets",
widget: "select box",
text: "Custom List Box Test",
icon: "/profoundui/proddata/images/icons/list_box.png",
// any property of a "select box" can be altered here
defaults: {
"select box height": "5",
"width": "150px",
"color": "#666666",
"background color": "#FAE4AA",
"choices": "Choice 1",
"font family": "Sans-Serif",
"font size": "12px"
},
// property setter functions
propertySetters: {
// this will fire when the field type property is set to "select box"
"field type": function(parms) {
if (parms.design) {
}
else
{
alert("This is a test to see if the field type property is firing for our custom derived widget.")
}
}
},
});
