tables delete column

[Segi]

I have a table that is initially displayed as "Display Only". When the user clicks on the edit button to enable editing, I call mytable.SetDisplayOnly(false) and want to also show the delete column. Is there a way to pragmatically hide or show the delete column.

I have looked through the tables object and did not find a method that allows this.

Should be:

Code: Select all

mytable.setDeletable(true);

The setDeletable() method is on the TableControl object.

When I make the function call like this:

tables.MYTABLE.control.setDeleteable(true)

I get an error:

ypeError: Cannot find function setDeleteable in object com.ebasetech.ufs.runtime.runtimeControls.tableControl.TableRuntimeControl__GenImpl@9bad

This method doesn't appear in the autocomplete.

I figured it out.

You have to reference the table via controls.mytable.setDeleteAble(true);

Spelling mistake: the method name is setDeletable, not setDeleteable. If you issue it directly against the control like this, you will see it in the code assist.

Code: Select all

controls.TABLE1.setDeletable(true);

You will also see it in the API doc for TableControl.

But it's also valid to code it like you are doing, it's just that you don't see the method name in the code assist because the system treats it as a generic Control instead of a TableControl:

Code: Select all

tables.MYTABLE.control.setDeleteable(true);
