Populate a table from a pop up

Hi Varun,

I think you should consider using table element instead of text box elements to list all values you have added, since you have no way to “create” new text boxes dynamically.

You can use table element to achieve since there are actions to insert/append/delete its rows. Here’s an example:

hmm, Thanks. I will try this. I did try table, just didn’t feel the template design for table was something I liked. Anyways the way I m creating this table using text boxes is by having empty text boxes placed equidistantly and the value of text edit is something I am expecting to fill these empty text boxes. I realize my table might not have unlimited number of rows but for my purpose it’s fine. A 5 row table works fine for my purpose. Any clue how to make this addition of 5 rows possible one by one if I still use text boxes? Thanks

Maybe you could store the actual number of rows in a global property, increase it when user add row. Then, use a switch branching to check that global property, set value to correct text box according to the property value.

Okay you were right using table would be much easier. However my table is having a check box and I need to drag and drop in my table from elements, however with every row being added I also need a check box to come in that row. Is there a option of inserting checkbox dynamically on element click?

Thanks

Just like the checkbox explained above can I have hyperlink or any other element on add row to a table? Thanks

Also if I am inserting a new row at position 1, how do I get that area highlighted every-time the new row is inserted?

Sorry for questions. In this table as I mentioned I have checkboxes, and I want the users to have the option to delete rows based on check box selection. How is this possible? Thanks

So this table I have is made from a form- text edit boxes as I had mentioned in a previous message. I am curious if there is a way for me to have each row of the table to have hyperlink like detail, which basically takes the value of the table row and puts it back in the form so that I can edit it and on saving it will update the table? Thanks

Hi varun,

Unfortunately when you insert new row into table, you can only specify its text content. You could not insert hyperlink of checkbox into the new row, at least for now.

If complex content are needed for the newly added row, you will need to use the second approach: precreate 5 rows of content and show/hide them when user add/delete the row.

This is going to be a pain for me as I just spent the entire day exploring the table options. So let me rephrase and see if I can make one feature work for this table atleast for me, i.e. somehow using the table you guys provide and making checkbox appear for every new row I insert/add. One approach which comes to my mind:

1. Create 5, or 6 checkboxes ( according to the number of rows) and make them invisible. Every time a new row is created the checkbox becomes visible. Is this possible somehow?

In future how hard is it for your teams to consider the insertion of any element type just like you guys do with text for a table row insert?

Thanks,

Varun
