changed data in field ignored when saving changes
HI Community,
I do have a table with quite some names written in Uppercase:
To simply correct this, I have created a button with some code behind it.:
{
var ctrl = zen('Relation');
tVar = ctrl.getValue();
tVar = this.StringConvert(tVar)
zenPage.getComponentById('Relation').setValue(tVar)
}
ClientMethod StringConvert(str) [ Language = javascript ]
{
///alert (str)
str = str.substring(0,1).toLowerCase() + tVar.substring(1).toLowerCase();
///alert (str)
var pieces = str.split(" ");
for ( var i = 0; i < pieces.length; i++ )
{
var j = pieces[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase();
pieces[i] = j + pieces[i].substr(1);
}
return pieces.join(" ");
} ClientMethod convertToTitle() [ Language = javascript ]
{
var ctrl = zen('Relation');
tVar = ctrl.getValue();
tVar = this.StringConvert(tVar)
zenPage.getComponentById('Relation').setValue(tVar)
}
ClientMethod StringConvert(str) [ Language = javascript ]
{
///alert (str)
str = str.substring(0,1).toLowerCase() + tVar.substring(1).toLowerCase();
///alert (str)
var pieces = str.split(" ");
for ( var i = 0; i < pieces.length; i++ )
{
var j = pieces[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase();
pieces[i] = j + pieces[i].substr(1);
}
return pieces.join(" ");
}
At first place it seems to work
: using the correct button results in:
However when I do save (by the button or code), then the data gets replaced with the original Uppercase data.
Does somebody have a clue why this behavior appears?
Thanks in advance!
By the way: some server side alternative solution sample(s) are more than welcome!

Blackfin Capital Partners

Mark's 'Mark's (Mark's)At me converted string is stored correctly.
Here is a small example:
Class demo.test Extends %ZEN.Component.page
{
XData Contents [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/zen" ]
{
<page xmlns="http://www.intersystems.com/zen" title="">
<form
id="MyForm"
OnLoadForm="LoadForm"
OnSubmitForm="SubmitForm"
>
<text
id="Relation"
name="Relation"
label="Relation"
size="50"
/>
<button caption="1.Convert" onclick="zenPage.convertToTitle();"/>
<submit caption="2.Save" action="save"/>
</form>
</page>
}
ClientMethod convertToTitle() [ Language = javascript ]
{
var ctrl = zen('Relation');
ctrl.setValue(this.stringConvert(ctrl.getValue()));
}
ClientMethod stringConvert(str) [ Language = javascript ]
{
///alert (str)
str = str.substring(0,1).toLowerCase() + str.substring(1).toLowerCase();
///alert (str)
var pieces = str.split(" ");
for ( var i = 0; i < pieces.length; i++ )
{
var j = pieces[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase();
pieces[i] = j + pieces[i].substr(1);
}
return pieces.join(" ");
}
/// Callback to get values for form
Method LoadForm(
pKey As %String,
ByRef pValues As %String) As %Status
{
s pValues("Relation") = $g(^tmp,"BLACKFIN CAPITAL PARTNERS")
q $$$OK
}
/// Callback to process values submitted for form.
ClassMethod SubmitForm(pSubmit As %ZEN.Submit) As %Status
{
k ^tmp
s:pSubmit.%Action="save" ^tmp=pSubmit.%GetValue("Relation")
q $$$OK
}
}Hi Vitaliy,
Thanks for you're response and code sample!
However I still have the behavior.
Could I be the issue that I am using a datacontroller / datamodel?
I am interested in the solution for reason that I do use a lot of similar forms.
see code:
Could the issue be something with the dataBinding?
Sorry I do not know how to present the sample code as you do!
Could the issue be something with the dataBinding?
Most likely - yes, see <dataController> Methods.
Simple example:
Class demo.relationModel Extends %ZEN.DataModel.ObjectDataModel
{
Property Relation As %String(MAXLEN = 36);
Method %OnLoadModel(pSource As %RegisteredObject) As %Status
{
s ..Relation = $g(^tmp,"BLACKFIN CAPITAL PARTNERS")
q $$$OK
}
Method %OnStoreModel(pSource As %RegisteredObject) As %Status
{
k ^tmp
s ^tmp=..Relation
q $$$OK
}
}
Class demo.test Extends %ZEN.Component.page
{
XData Contents [ XMLNamespace = "http://www.intersystems.com/zen" ]
{
<page xmlns="http://www.intersystems.com/zen" title="">
<dataController
id="relationData"
modelClass="demo.relationModel"
/>
<form
id="MyForm"
controllerId="relationData"
>
<text
id="Relation"
label="Relation"
name="Relation"
dataBinding="Relation"
size="36"
/>
<button caption="1. Convert" onclick="zenPage.convertToTitle();"/>
<button caption="2. Save" onclick="zen('MyForm').save();" />
</form>
</page>
}
ClientMethod convertToTitle() [ Language = javascript ]
{
var controller = zen('relationData');
controller.setDataByName('Relation',this.stringConvert(zen('Relation').getValue()));
controller.raiseDataChange();
}
ClientMethod stringConvert(str) [ Language = javascript ]
{
///alert (str)
str = str.substring(0,1).toLowerCase() + str.substring(1).toLowerCase();
///alert (str)
var pieces = str.split(" ");
for ( var i = 0; i < pieces.length; i++ )
{
var j = pieces[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase();
pieces[i] = j + pieces[i].substr(1);
}
return pieces.join(" ");
}
}Thank you Vitaliy, it works, I do now see what I have missed.
