9.3.2 Creating Visual Web Components
There are three methods for creating/maintaining Visual Web Components for use with Web functions:
- Automatically (Input mode only)
- Manually (Input & Output mode)
- Using LANSA Triggers
Automatically created Visual components are built using the option from the Web Function Editor. You can create Check Box, Drop Down, List Box and Radio Buttons. These components are all defined as Input mode. Refer to Generate Visual Component.
Visual Web components can be manually defined. You will manually create Visual Web components when you need output components. Refer to Visual Component. Reminder: You can use a Page Web component instead of manually defining a Visual Web component.
LANSA Repository triggers can also be used with your application database so that the contents of a file are used to update a Visual Web component. Refer to 9.3.3 Using Triggers to Generate Visual Web Components.
