Developers would like to be able to create text areas, properties and input controls in the text area that manipulate those properties.
One example would be to have a tool that would perform an S+ calculation. A user of Spotfire could launch a tool that would 1) insert a data function into the document 2) create a text area with user controls for input params (like a column selector) 3) create the document/table properties that would store the input selections from the text area 3) create the plots and other controls to read results after the calculation is finished.
Examples:
1. A script can toggle the label on the link/button.
2. A dialog tool can generate a set of document properties, a Text Area, Property Controls in the Text Area, a new Visualization, and configure a Data Function.
3. Read and store the configuration of text area controls as a record
4. Toggle visibility of controls, for example to hide controls that are not valid for the current selections in other controls.
Still not implemented after 7 years. It would be great to be able to adjust the size of the property controls and for example in the numeric slider the start, stop and interval values.
in addition - the ability to programmatically change controls, i.e. change the data table and columns associated with a multiple-select list box
This will really help to dynamically configure the Text area:
For Example:
It would be great to be able to alter formatting of controls via script. In my particular case, I'd like to be able to dynamically change the color of a label property control via script.
It has been 3 years now, is there any actions on this? At least, ability to resize, change font for the filter boxes like the rest of the control. Thanks in advance for considering this item.
Please include the property control size in this so we can resize dynamically
We are looking for pulling the Custom expressions/data limiting expressions of all calculated values present in Text area
We would also need to adjust the format of the controls in text areas (colors, font size etc)
any further consideration on this? it's been over a year! :-)
We also need this to create advanced UIs with dependent (cascading) property controls, also the ability to programmatically inspect property controls and their selectable values.
