The Form Designer supports a custom field tool that is an ASP.NET user control. You can create this tool and manually deploy it on the server. It must have the following elements, folder and file structures:
User control field template:
\wfgen\App_Data\Templates\Forms\[language]\[folder name]\fields\[user control name].txt
User control sources:
ASCX: \wfgen\WfApps\WebForms\[user control name].ascx
Code-behind: \wfgen\WfApps\WebForms\[user control name].ascx.cs
When you enter a tag, the user control field automatically inserts its closing tag. To collapse a code block, click the down arrow next to the line number, which will insert a double-arrow icon in place of the code. To expand the code block, click the right arrow. Press Ctrl+Space
to show a drop-down menu that displays the available variables and keywords.
The user control field supports the Custom attributes settings (see File attachment field settings).
Each identifier must be unique.
It must start with a letter.
It can only contain alphanumeric and underscore characters.
It is case sensitive.
Each field within a section will be automatically prefixed with the section’s identifier following an underscore character (e.g. section id=ACTION1; field id=ACTION1_MYFIELD1
)
Each field within a GridView field will be automatically prefixed with the GridView’s identifier following the underscore character (e.g. gridview id=ACTION1_MYGRIDVIEW1; field id=ACTION1_MYGRIDVIEW1_TITLE1
).
If the field is moved from one section to another section, then the field’s identifier will be automatically prefixed with the new section’s identifier.
If the section’s identifier is changed then all the fields within the section will be automatically prefixed with the new section’s identifier.
A tooltip with the full/real identifier of the element will be displayed when you mouseover the identifier input field.
