It is possible to set an initial tooltip text within the control, which disappears automatically when typing a text in it. In order to do it add to Additional Settings property for a control named emptyText.
Example:
Customizing a Grid Panel
A grid having rows with different heights
It is not needed to set any additional setting to have rows with different heights: you have simply to set a cell content having multiple lines. Lines can be expressed in HTML format and a new line is represented by the <br> tag.
A good approach can be to bind a server-side javascript business component and use it to fill in the cell content: through javascript you can easily create complex HTML content, using for example the tags <table> <tr> <td>.
An alternative approach is to do it on the web layer, through the renderer property of a column, where you can define HTML content, for example using the tags <table> <tr> <td>:
In this example, the record passed to the row must contains attributes named id, pin and address.
Adding additional graphical settings to a grid panel
You can include more settings for a filter panel using the "Additional Settings" available in the Grid Panel definition pane something like.
optionally the ascending/descending icon to show a data ordering (the column header is a three-state clickable button: no sort, ascending sort, descending sort)
optionally the filter icon, used to emphasize the application of a filter condition on such a column; default behavior: visible on the left-top side, beside the text
optionally the "no filter applied" icon, used to emphasize the application of a filter condition on such a column; default behavior: NOT visible; if set to visible, it would be on the left-top side, beside the text and as an alternative to the filter icon
It is possible to customize the column header content through a series of CSS classes:
Column header height
class name: x-grid3-hd-inner
Example: how to increase header height
Filter condition applied icon
class name: filter_on
Example: position the filter icon on the bottom-left position
Example: redefining the filter icon
NO filter condition applied icon
class name: filter_off
Example: position the NO filter icon on the bottom-left position
Example: redefining the NO filter icon
Customizing a Form Panel
Adding additional graphical settings to a form panel
You can include more settings for a filter panel using the "Additional Settings" available in the Grid Panel definition pane something like.
You can add, for each control contained in a form and filter panel, one or more css cls.
Access the controls and activate the advanced mode, then click on the style column.
