deprecatedclass %ZEN.Component.tablePane extends simpleTablePane

This component draws an HTML table based on the contents of a query.
The data for the table can come from a pre-built class query, an SQL statement, or the tablePane can create an SQL query automatically.
The properties of the tablePane, as well as the auxiliary classes, %ZEN.Auxiliary.column, %ZEN.Auxiliary.condition, and %ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter, let you control the behavior and appearance of the tablePane.
Many of the characteristics of the tablePane are inherited from its superclass, %ZEN.Component.simpleTablePane. Refer to it for more details.

Parameters

• parameter DOMAIN = "%ZEN";
• parameter SYSMODULE = "table";
If set, this indicates that this system component should be placed in the given "module". A module is a grouping of components within the same class package that share common include (js or css) files. Note that certain root classes are implicitly placed within the "core" module.
Classes outside of the Zen library should not set this, they should use the MODULE instead.

Properties

• property autoExecute as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 1 ];
If true (the default), automatically re-execute the query for this table when the user changes the value of a column filter.
If false, the query will only be re-executed when the executeQuery is called.
• property bodyHeight as %ZEN.Datatype.length;
If present, this specifies the height of the body section of the table.
• property caption as %ZEN.Datatype.caption;
Caption displayed for this table using the HTML caption element.
This is a localized value.
• property cellSpacing as %ZEN.Datatype.integer [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Amount of spacing around cells in the table. The default is 0 (no extra space around table cells). For a slight but noticeable separation, a useful value is 2.
• property clearSnapshot as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean(XMLPROJECTION="none",ZENSETTING=0) [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Client-side, run-time flag that is set when client wants to force re-execution of the table query when the table is in "snapshot" mode.
• property columns as list of %ZEN.Auxiliary.column(XMLPROJECTION="ELEMENT",XMLREF=1,XMLTYPECONSTRAINT="CHOICE");
List of column information objects.
Each object specifies additional details about a column in the table.
• property conditions as list of %ZEN.Auxiliary.condition(XMLPROJECTION="ELEMENT",XMLREF=1,XMLTYPECONSTRAINT="CHOICE");
A list of conditions. These are special expression objects that are evaluated to add data-dependent styles to the table.
• property currColumn as %ZEN.Datatype.string(ZENEXPRESSION=1);
This is the logical name of the most recently selected column header. Typically this is used for sorting.
• property currPage as %ZEN.Datatype.integer [ InitialExpression = 1 ];
For snapshot mode, this is the number (1-based) of the current "page" within the snapshot that is displayed.
• property dataSource as %ZEN.Datatype.string(VALUELIST=",query,columns") [ InitialExpression = "query" ];
Specifies where the data columns of the table come from.
"query" (the default)- columns are displayed for each column in the data source query.
"columns" - only columns explicitly defined in the columns list are displayed.
• property extraColumnWidth as %ZEN.Datatype.length [ InitialExpression = 30 ];
Width used for extra columns, such as row number, row selector, etc.
• property filtersDisabled as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
If true, disable column filters (if any).
• property fixedHeaders as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
If true, then the header of the table will stay in position when the body of the table is scrolled.
• property headerLayout as %ZEN.Datatype.string(VALUELIST=",filtersOnTop,headersOnTop") [ InitialExpression = "filtersOnTop" ];
This property controls how to display the table header when column filters are used.
  • "filtersOnTop" - (the default) Display column filters above column headers.
  • "headersOnTop" - Display column headers above filters.
• property invalidMessage as %ZEN.Datatype.caption [ InitialExpression = $$$Text("Invalid Date","%ZEN") ];
Localized "invalid date" message displayed by control.
• property lastUpdate as %ZEN.Datatype.string(XMLPROJECTION="none");
Time, in ODBC timestamp format, that the query for this table was last executed. This is set on the server whenever the query is for the tablePane is executed.
• property msgNoResult as %ZEN.Datatype.caption [ InitialExpression = $$$Text("No Results","%ZEN") ];
• property nowrap as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 1 ];
If a browser does not support CSS nowrap correctly, this flag provides a way to control whether table cells allow word wrapping or not.
• property onheaderClick as %ZEN.Datatype.eventHandler;
onheaderClick event handler: This event is fired when the user clicks on a column header. The name of the column will be in the currColumn property.
• property onkeypress as %ZEN.Datatype.eventHandler;
onkeypress event handler: If useKeys is true, then this event handler code is run when the user presses a key within the tablePane.
• property pageSize as %ZEN.Datatype.integer [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
This is the number of items to display on a single "page" of the table. 0, the default, means show all data on first page. This can only be set to a non-zero value when the table is in snapshot mode.
• property parameters as list of %ZEN.Auxiliary.parameter(XMLNAME="parameter",XMLPROJECTION="ELEMENT",XMLREF=1);
User-defined list of parameters. These values are passed on to the user callback function that provides the query for this table.
• property permitClientSQL as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean(ZENENCRYPT=1,ZENEXPRESSION=1) [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Flag for backwards compatibility. If permitClientSQL is set to true, query parameters may be set programatically through javascript on the client, depending on site and application settings this may constitute a security risk. If set to false (the default), the parameters may only be set on the server. This property is encrypted and any attempt to modify it on the client will result in an error.
• property refreshRequired as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean(XMLPROJECTION="none",ZENSETTING=0) [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
This property should be set to 1 by server-side methods that want to force the query associate with the tablePane to be re-executed.
• property rowCount as %ZEN.Datatype.string(XMLPROJECTION="none",ZENSETTING=0);
If present, this is the number of rows returned by the current query. This is calculated by the built-in query or the automatic query.
Note: this is a string as it could be set to "" or "100+".
• property showFilters as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 1 ];
If true, display column filters (if any).
• property showQuery as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean(ZENENCRYPT=1,ZENEXPRESSION=1) [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Server-side diagnostic flag. If true, display the query used to get data for this table.
This is an encrypted value and cannot be set on the client.
• property showValueInTooltip as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
If true, then the tooltip (HTML title attribute) displayed for cells within the table will display the current value of the cell.
• property sortOrder as %ZEN.Datatype.string(VALUELIST=",asc,desc",ZENEXPRESSION=1);
For sortable tables, this is the order to sort values within the current column. Values can be "", "asc" (ascending), or "desc" (descending).
• property suppressExceptionOnClientSQL as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Flag for less intrusive remedial action when Client-side SQL modification is forbidden. If permitClientSQL is set to false (the default), this flag controls the rendering of the table if client side modification of the query parameters is detected. By default, a Zen Exception will be raised, warning of the security risk. If this flag is set to true, however, the exception will be suppressed and the table will re-render using the last known (server-side) values for the query parameters. In this case the client-side modifications are simply ignored. The default value is "false" indicating that the exception should be raised.
• property unlockSession as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
Flag to control whether session is unlocked during updates to the table.
• property useKeys as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
If true, then the tablePane will capture user keystrokes and use them for simple table navigation.
• property useSnapshot as %ZEN.Datatype.boolean [ InitialExpression = 0 ];
If true, create a temporary snapshot of the query results. This allows for paging and sorting without re-executing the query.
• property valueColumn as %ZEN.Datatype.string;
If defined, this is the name of the data column that provides a logical value for a selected row.

Methods
