Edit Data

This UI Procedure allows editing or viewing the content of a single Data Table. It may be used, for example, to specify the input parameters of a function or view its output.

Data can be displayed in editable mode or just as read-only data. The dialog itself may have scrolling enabled or disabled, and it can also be shown in a separate window or as a part of the main window of the UI. All of these are configurable parameters for this UI Procedure. Editing is performed using the Data Table Editor component.

Parameters

  • Data. Static data to be shown/edited.

  • Data Expression. Expression evaluated to obtain source data to be edited/displayed. If the expression is specified Data property will be ignored. See expression resolution environment for more information.

  • Refresh Period. Defines how often Data Expression is re-calculated and data displayed by the UI procedure is updated.

  • Use Dockable Frame. Defines whether a dockable frame or a modal dialog should be used.

  • Read Only. Flag that enables/disables editing of the displayed Data Table.

  • Enable Popup Menu. Defines whether Data Table Editor popup menu access is allowed.

  • Default Context. Default context to be used by the Data Table Editor.

  • Help. Some human-readable description or comments/notes for data that will be displayed.

  • Show Line Numbers. Controls visibility of Data Table Editor's line numbers.

Output

Grouping Support

This UI Procedure supports action grouping.

In Iotellect Client, the Data Table Editor will contain an additional All button in this case (appears between OK and Cancel). Choosing All applies the data being edited to all actions that are executed in the group.
