Iconic LOV textbox?

Question

Hi folks,

would it be possible to add an "iconic LOV textbox" as a new item type, which will simplify layout creation?

How do you define it currently in your applications now? Using a separate textbox and button with a LOV icon next it causes a little bit layout issues.

Thanks, Tomas

0	Hi Tomas, Yes, +1 from me for this component. I'll talk to the team. Right now we just put a button next to the textField. I am not aware of any layout issues. Which layout do you use? link answered 16 Sep '12, 11:14 Yalim K. Gerger ♦♦ 191●4 accept rate: 20%

0	We are using a tablelayout and having a problem to connect an image with item, so it will have the same lenght as for example a datefield (assuming I want to avoid a hardcodding) => LOV image icon is part of textfield. link answered 16 Sep '12, 11:39 Tomeo 162●22●73 accept rate: 3%

You should not use cellspacing to achieve this. Here is a sample xml and its output:

<panel>
  <tableLayout>
    <row height="25">
      <cell width="50" hAlign="Full" vAlign="Center">
        <textLabel label="Field1:"/>
      </cell>
      <cell columnSpan="2" hAlign="Full" vAlign="Center">
        <textField/>
      </cell>
    </row>
    <row height="25">
      <cell hAlign="Full" vAlign="Center">
        <textLabel label="Field2:"/>
      </cell>
      <cell width="100" hAlign="Full" vAlign="Center">
        <textField/>
      </cell>
      <cell width="20" hAlign="Full" vAlign="Center">
        <button label="..."/>
      </cell>
    </row>
  </tableLayout>
</panel>
