Interface StringControl

Displays an error or recommendation notification for a control, and lets you specify actions to execute based on the notification.

Use this to add a function as an event handler for the keypress event so that the function is called when you type a character in the specific text or number field. For a sample JavaScript code that uses the addOnKeyPress method to configure the auto-completion experience, see Sample: Auto-complete in CRM controls.

Gets the control's bound attribute.

Gets the controls type.

Gets a boolean value, indicating whether the control is disabled.

Gets the label.

Gets the name of the control on the form.

Remarks

The name assigned to a control is not determined until the form loads. Changes to the form may change the name assigned to a given control. When you use the control getName method the name of the first control will be the same as the name of the attribute. The second instance of a control for that attribute will be "1". The pattern +N will continue for each additional control added to the form for a specific attribute. When a form displays a business process flow control in the header, additional controls will be added for each attribute that is displayed in the business process flow. These controls have a unique name like the following: header_process_.

Returns a dictionary of the output properties of the control.

Gets a reference to the Section parent of the control.

Gets the latest value in a control as the user types characters in a specific text or number field. This method helps you to build interactive experiences by validating data and alerting users as they type characters in a control. The getValue method is different from the attribute getValue method because the control method retrieves the value from the control as the user is typing in the control as opposed to the attribute getValue method that retrieves the value after the user commits (saves) the field.

Gets the visibility state.

Hides the auto-completion drop-down list configured for a specific text field
