Binding two entities to Icon tab bar header and content

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement that I have an Icontab bar whose headings are coming from one entity and then inside the icon tab bar i have made a text area, whose value should come from another entity.

I have binded items of icontab bar to one entity so now headings are coming.

But how to bind the content based on the key.

Thanks Mansi

Any idea anyone how to do this in xml view, binding one control conditionally for different icon tab bars.???

may be IconTabBar will be single and you need to bind different entities to IconTabFilter.

like this,

<IconTabBar applyContentPadding="false"

  select="select" expandable="true" expanded="true" id="idIconTabBarNoIcons" >

  <items>

  <IconTabFilter >

  <content>

  <Text  text="{EntityText1}"/>

  </content>

  </IconTabFilter>

  <IconTabFilter >

  <content>

  <Text  text="{EntityText2}"/>

  </content>

  </IconTabFilter>

  </items>

  </IconTabBar>

But these Icon tab bar filter is actually items which is coming dynamically.

It can be 3, 4 or anything. I can not make it static.

If i understood you properly, The Items will be variable but how the entity will be change dynamically.

so Entity is always static.And depending upon your values Dynamically you need to create IconTabBar? It's looking wrong for me.

Thanks for reply.

Maksim my requirement is I am showing Document Id in header and based on those Id's I have to show text in Text Area.

In Select event I am looping on my array of documents, then i match document key's with the selected key and then if match is found i am setting the value in text area.

It is giving me no error infact after set if i try to getvalue() it is showing there but in the screen that value is not reflecting. what could be the reason.

select:function(oEvent)

  {

    var sKey = oEvent.getParameter("selectedKey"),

  oFilter;

   for (var i=0;i<this._notes.length;i++)

     {

         if (sKey === this._notes[i].DocumentKey)

         {

             this.getView().byId("textArea").setValue(this._notes[i].LongText);

         }

}

}

@Dennis : ya entity means property here.... the entityset that we refer to

Thanks

Thanks Dennis...

Its a great help. But my views are XML.

Could you please help me out with the way to do this binding there.

<IconTabBar applyContentPadding="false"

  select="select" expandable="true" expanded="true" id="idIconTabBarNoIcons" items="{/Entity1}">

  <items>

  <IconTabFilter text="{DocumentText_Text}" key="{DocumentText}">

  <content>

  <TextArea  rows="10" id="textArea"/>

  </content>

  </IconTabFilter>

  </items>

  </IconTabBar>

This is the code for my Icon tab bar. How to go about with this??

See value in bold.

but this value is from different entity .

We have to match the key and then bind it..

[Private_Member_15166]

I don't know this will work or not. Did you tried by writing like this.

<TextArea  rows="10" id="textArea" value="{/EntitySet/value}" />

Hi Dhananjay,

My requirement is that I need to bind it based  on the selected header.

How to give this condition while binding. Any idea??

Thanks,

Mansi

[former_member182862]

can you elaborate on "entity"? are you referring to property in a model?

Thanks

you can do filter on the binding in icon tab bar select event handler
