Go to https://xmpro.com if you... hi and welcome to another training video
from xm pro
today we will be looking at how to use
the lookup component
as a prerequisite you should have
already gone through the video on how to
create and use data sources
if not then i recommend doing that first
the lookup component can be found in the
basic blocks section
you must give the lookup a data source
this can be
static items or a dynamic data source
if you choose static items you can add
items in the grid here
and those will show up in the lookup
or you can give it a dynamic data source
from
the page data data sources
if you give it a dynamic data source you
must go into data
and then select the display value and
group by expressions
group i is optional
so i won't set it for now if you set
group by
it will group the options by the group
by expression
so if i don't select a group by
expression
then it'll show all the items just like
this
and if i do select a group by expression
then it will group them
there are some appearance properties to
play with
visible is self-explanatory this can be
bound to
apparent data source styling mode if you
select
outlined it will create an outline
around your control
underlined will create an align
underneath the control and filled
as you can see we'll give it a gray
background
placeholder will appear before you enter
a value
drop down title will give the drop down
of
of the lookup a title at the top
tooltip will show when you hover over it
if you check show clear button then if
it has a value
it will have a button in the drop down
that says clear
and if you click that clear button it
will
clear the value
in the behavior section we have read
only if this is checked then
you won't be able to enter a value into
the control and it will appear as if it
was read read-only with a dotted border
around it disabled is again
self-explanatory
if you check it if you set it to true
then the control will be disabled and
grayed out and you
also will not be able to enter a value
and
enable search enables the search bar in
the drop down
so we can see there's this the
placeholder please select a task if i
hover
over it then we get the tool tip
we've got the title and the search bar
and the clear button
the value can be bounded to a parameter
or a variable
or from a parent data source so for
instance if i add a field set in here
i give the field set a data source task
progress
i only need two rows so i'm going to
delete this one
we've got task
and progress and we're going to put the
lookup in task
we're going to put a slider for progress
i'll just set up the range slider as
this isn't part of the video
and then for the lookup value we can
bind it
to task of the task progress
and then save so now we will have one
field set per row
of the parent data source
which has two tasks
the type the progress for task create a
game plan
is zero and the task for and the
progress for the task research the topic
is 10
so we can change this task to do the
need for
and change it to 44 done
and if we save this then it will we'll
change that in the database
and we also have validation more detail
can be found
in the validation video
this has been how to use the lookup
control
