Default Visualization

axDefaultVisualization

Description

All 5250 and new screen elements have a default visualization.

It is used to visualize the element - unless you specifically indicate not to do this, typically because you want to:

Hide the element - by not visualizing it at all

Use an alternate visualization - like a radio button.

maxInputLength	p is a special value and its meaning depends on the type of the element: For existing 5250 field, value of 0 means that the original 5250 field’s length will be used.

It is not intended for use with existing 5250 screen elements.	Yes. Must return a number.	0
imeMode	When a screen element is an input field this property indicates whether the Input Method Editor (IME) should be active or inactive for this field. Possible values are ‘Default’, ‘Active’ and ‘Inactive’. The ‘Default’ setting means that AXES will determine automatically whether to turn IME on or off based on the language used. IME mode is only supported in Internet Explore. This property will not work in other browsers.	Yes. Must return “default”, “active”, or “inactive”	Default

Notes, Comments and Warnings

Use of the value property should be considered carefully and tested.

In Application, appStylesTheme property = JQueryUI

When JQueryUI is selected from Application->Styling->appStylesTheme, the display will change according to the theme that was set in the Application’s jqueryTheme property. Basically, the default border and the font styles will be based on the JQuery theme.

In Application, appStylesTheme property = Material Design

When Material Design is selected from Application->Styling->appStylesTheme, the display will change according to the theme that was set in the Application’s mdTheme property.

For browser compatibility reasons, setting the font-size in the style property will not work in TS2. Use the style property of the field’s basic properties for this purpose instead.

Examples

Here the default visualization of the instruction line on the System i Main menu has been altered to use color red in the style property:
