Method Detail

setSchemaName

public void setSchemaName(NameID schemaName)

Associates the VUI with a form.

setVUIId

public void setVUIId(FieldID viewID)

Assigns an internal ID for the VUI. The IDs of all VUIs and fields associated with a form must be unique. Specify 0 for this parameter if you want the system to generate the ID. Otherwise, specify a value between 536870912 and and 2147483647 (limited by AR_MAX_RESERVED_FIELD_ID in arstruct.h).

setDisplayProperties

public void setDisplayProperties(PropInfo[] properties)

Sets display properties information.

• AR_DPROP_VUI_DEFAULT (unsigned long). A flag identifying the default view (VUI) for the form. A value of 1 identifies the default VUI (with all other VUIs having a value of 0). The system uses the first VUI returned by the find.ViewFactory or findObjects.ViewFactory methods if you do not specify a default view.
• AR_DPROP_PANE_LAYOUT (integer). A value indicating how the panes of the VUI are arranged. This property also specifies whether the layout is locked to prevent the user from changing it.

  -1: Results pane left of details, prompt pane on top, locked.
  -2: Details pane left of results, prompt pane on top, locked.
  -3: Results pane above details, prompt pane on top, locked.
  -4: Details pane above results, prompt pane on top, locked.
  -5: Results pane left of details, prompt pane on bottom, locked.
  -6: Details pane left of results, prompt pane on bottom, locked.
  -7: Results pane above details, prompt pane on bottom, locked.
  -8: Details pane above results, prompt pane on bottom, locked.
  1: Results pane left of details, prompt pane on top, unlocked.
  2: Details pane left of results, prompt pane on top, unlocked.
  3: Results pane above details, prompt pane on top, unlocked.
  4: Details pane above results, prompt pane on top, unlocked.
  5: Results pane left of details, prompt pane on bottom, unlocked.
  6: Details pane left of results, prompt pane on bottom, unlocked.
  7: Results pane above details, prompt pane on bottom, unlocked.
  8: Details pane above results, prompt pane on bottom, unlocked.

• AR_DPROP_DETAIL_PANE_COLOR (character string). The background color of the details pane. Specify the color as #BBGGRR, a string concatenating the two-digit hexadecimal values for blue, green, and red.
• AR_DPROP_DETAIL_PANE_IMAGE (refer to ByteListInfo). The background image for the details pane. Specify a byte list type of 1 (AR_BYTE_LIST_WIN30_BITMAP) for images in Windows 3.0 bitmap (.bmp) and DIB (.dib) format. Specify 2 (AR_BYTE_LIST_JPEG) for JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg) format (see AR_DPROP_PUSH_BUTTON_IMAGE).
• AR_DPROP_IMAGE_ALIGN (unsigned long). A value indicating the vertical alignment of the background image for the details pane.

  1: Top-aligned (AR_DVAL_ALIGN_TOP).
  2: Centered (AR_DVAL_ALIGN_MIDDLE) (default setting).
  3: Expand to fill (AR_DVAL_ALIGN_FILL).
  4: Bottom-aligned (AR_DVAL_ALIGN_BOTTOM).
  5: Tile to fill (AR_DVAL_ALIGN_TILE).

• AR_DPROP_IMAGE_JUSTIFY (unsigned long). A value indicating the horizontal justification of the background image for the details pane.

  1: Left-aligned (AR_DVAL_JUSTIFY_LEFT).
  2: Centered (AR_DVAL_JUSTIFY_CENTER).
  3: Expand to fill (AR_DVAL_JUSTIFY_FILL).
  4: Right-aligned (AR_DVAL_JUSTIFY_RIGHT).
  5: Tile to fill (AR_DVAL_JUSTIFY_TILE).

• AR_DPROP_TITLE_BAR_ICON_IMAGE (refer to ByteListInfo). The icon image for the title bar. Specify a byte list type of 1 (AR_BYTE_LIST_WIN30_BITMAP) for images in Windows 3.0 bitmap (.bmp) and DIB (.dib) format. Specify 2 (AR_BYTE_LIST_JPEG) for JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg) format.
• AR_DPROP_DETAIL_PANE_WIDTH (integer). The width of the details pane, in form coordinates. Negative values are reserved for future use.
• AR_DPROP_DETAIL_PANE_HEIGHT (integer). The height of the details pane, in form coordinates.
• AR_DPROP_DETAIL_BANNER_VISIBILITY (unsigned long). A value indicating whether the details pane is visible. Specify 0 for invisible, 1 for visible.
• AR_DPROP_RESULT_BANNER_VISIBILITY (unsigned long). A value indicating whether the results pane is visible. Specify 0 for invisible, 1 for visible.
• AR_DPROP_ALIAS_SINGULAR (character string). The singular form of the name for the logical items represented by entries in the form this view is associated with (such as help desk calls). Remedy User displays this name instead of the default “request” when referring to form entries.
• AR_DPROP_ALIAS_PLURAL (character string). The plural form of the name for the logical items represented by entries in the form this view is associated with (see AR_DPROP_ALIAS_SINGULAR).
• AR_DPROP_ALIAS_SHORT_SINGULAR (character string). A short, singular form of the name for the logical items represented by entries in the form this view is associated with (see AR_DPROP_ALIAS_SINGULAR).

• AR_DPROP_NAMED_SEARCHES (character string). A list of administrator-defined searches. It is encoded in the same format as qualifications in .arf files. This is a Remedy Private property that is not supported for customer use.
• AR_DPROP_MENU_ACCESS (character string). A list of client interface items an administrator can control. It is encoded in the same format as qualifications in .arf files. This is a Remedy Private property that is not supported for customer use.
• AR_DPROP_QUERY_LIST_COLOR (character string). The name of the field whose value for a given entry controls the display color of that entry in a query results list, and a list of field values and their corresponding colors. This is a Remedy Private property that is not supported for customer use.
