Controls

1. Create a module 

1. Open the Configuration section and select a custom package to add the schema.

2. Click Add → Module on the section list toolbar.

   

3. Fill out the schema properties in the Module Designer.

   • Set Code to "UsrLimitedIntegerEdit."
   • Set Title to "LimitedIntegerEdit."
   

   Click Apply to apply the changes.

4. Add the source code in the Module Designer.

   • Besides the standard extend and alternateClassName properties, set the range of allowed values (minLimit and maxLimit properties). Use default values for the properties.
   • Implement the business logic of the control. To do this, overload the onEnterKeyPressed() method. Call base logic to generate value change events and implement the isOutOfLimits() method after the call. The method checks if the entered value is within the range of allowed values. If the number is out of range, display a warning message in the input field.

   Regardless of displaying the warning message, Creatio saves the entered value and transfers it to the schema view model that uses the control.

   UsrLimitedIntegerEdit

   /* Declare a module called UsrLimitedIntegerEdit. The module has no dependencies. Therefore, an empty array is passed as the second module parameter. */
   define("UsrLimitedIntegerEdit", [], function () {
       /* Declare a class of the control. */
       Ext.define("Terrasoft.controls.UsrLimitedIntegerEdit", {
           /* Base class. */
           extend: "Terrasoft.controls.IntegerEdit",
           /* Class alias. */
           alternateClassName: "Terrasoft.UsrLimitedIntegerEdit",
           /* The minimum allowed value. */
           minLimit: -1000,
           /* The maximum allowed value. */
           maxLimit: 1000,
           /* Check if the entered value is within the range of allowed values. */
           isOutOfLimits: function (numericValue) {
               if (numericValue < this.minLimit || numericValue > this.maxLimit) {
                   return true;
               }
               return false;
           },
           /* Overload the method that handles Enter press. */
           onEnterKeyPressed: function () {
               /* Call base functionality. */
               this.callParent(arguments);
               /* Receive the entered value. */
               var value = this.getTypedValue();
               /* Convert the value to a numeric type. */
               var numericValue = this.parseNumber(value);
               /*  Check if the entered value is within the range of allowed values. */
               var outOfLimits = this.isOutOfLimits(numericValue);
               if (outOfLimits) {
                   /* Generate a warning message. */
                   var msg = "Value " + numericValue + " is out of limits [" + this.minLimit + ", " + this.maxLimit + "]";
                   /* Modify the configuration object to display the warning message. */
                   this.validationInfo.isValid = false;
                   this.validationInfo.invalidMessage = msg;
               }
               else{
                   /* Modify the configuration object to hide the warning message. */
                   this.validationInfo.isValid = true;
                   this.validationInfo.invalidMessage ="";
               }
               /* Call the logic that displays the warning message. */
               this.setMarkOut();
           },
       });
   });
   

5. Click Save on the Module Designer’s toolbar.

2. Add the control to a contact page 

1. Open the Configuration section and select a custom package to add the schema.

2. Click Add → Replacing view model on the section list toolbar.

   

3. Fill out the schema properties.

   • Set Code to "ContactPageV2."
   • Set Title to "Display schema - Contact card."
   • Select "ContactPageV2" in the Parent object property.
   

4. Add the source code in the Module Designer.

   • Add the ScoresAttribute attribute to the attributes property. The attribute is bound to the value of the control’s input field. Instead of an attribute, you can use an integer column of an object that is linked to a record page schema.

   • Add a configuration object that defines the property values of a control instance to the diff array of modifications.

     • Bind the value of the value property to the ScoresAttribute attribute.
     • Set the range of allowed values (minLimit and maxLimit properties). If you do not enter the minLimit and maxLimit properties in the configuration object explicitly, the default range of valid values is [-1000; 1000].

   View the source code of the replacing view model schema of the contact page below.

Outcome of the example 

To view the outcome of the example:

1. Open the contact page.
2. Enter a value that is out of the range of valid values in the Scores field.

As a result, Creatio will display the corresponding warning message on the contact page.
