Watches input elements on the loaded web page. Only available for browser controllers.

Parameters

Returns

none

Example

$('pagename').onLoad = function () {
    const browser = vcc.getController('pagename', 'browser');

    browser.watch('textarea[name="note"]', function (value) {
        vcc.setFieldValue('note', value);
    });
};

rebuild

Rebuild the structure of the controller. You need to use it if you want to update the available values.

Parameters

none

Returns

none

Example

After updating the manufacturer field we want to filter the mobile phones according the selected manufacturer. You can find the remaining code in the documentation of the EVENTS.onLoadData> event.

$('page', 'manufacturer').afterSetData = function() {
     vcc.getController('page', 'mobile_phones').rebuild();
};

refresh

Refresh the controller based on the selected values of the fields belonging to it. (Important: it only refreshes the selection/value of the controller, not the selectable values.)

Parameters

none

Returns

none

Example

We have the original data in a text field, but we don’t want them to be changed. We have a field for the actual data, and for the simplicity we would like to copy the original data to the actual field and controller by clicking on a button.

$('page', 'my_button').afterSetData = function() {
     // copy the value to the new field (it is stored in the database)
     vcc.setFieldValue('actual', vcc.getFieldValue('original'));
     // refresh the controller to load the the value from the database
     vcc.getController('page', 'actual').refresh();
};

showHelper

Show a small icon beside the controller. It can be used for errors, warning, or just an information.

Parameters

Example

We want to warn the agent if the amount of the salary is bigger than 2000.

$('page', 'salary').afterSetData = function(data) {
     if (data > 2000) {
         vcc.getController('page', 'salary').showHelper(vcc.CONTROLLER_WARNING,
                 'The salary can be mistyped');
     } else {
         vcc.getController('page', 'salary').clearHelper();
     }
};
