Setting Dynamic Properties

You can set the properties of elements dynamic by using XSL Functions.

Examples

Editbox Element

Value : $vof(Price)

The value of the Editbox will be the value stored in currently focused XML node "Price".

Setting Panel Backgroud color dynamically

Panel Element

Background

Color : $vof(position() mod 2 = 0 ? 'gray' ; 'silver')

Repeat

For Each : /products/item

The panel will be repeated for each "/products/item" node and the background color of a repeated panel will be "gray" if sequence number is an even number, otherwise it will be "silver".

Setting Font Color of a Text dynamically

Text Element

Font

Color : $vof(Stock < 1 ? 'red' ; 'black')

The font color will be "red" if the value of "Stock" node is lower than "1" otherwise "black".

Setting boolean properties dynamically

Checkbox Element

Checked : $vof(InCampaign = 'true')

The Checkbox will be initially checked if the value of "InCampaign" node is "true".

Setting Source of an Image Dynamically

Image Element

Source : /images/$vof(ImageName)

The real name of the Image file will be complete with the value of "ImageName" node.

<root>
  <products>
    <item>
      <code>P01712</code>
      <desc>Desktop Computer</desc>
      <imageName>images/desktop.gif</imageName>
    </item>
  </products>
</root>

Defining a dynamic link

Text Element

Hyperlink

Value : display.doms?$vof(usertype = 'admin' ? 'pg=AdminPage' ; 'pg=NormalPage')
