The displayUse property associates an
EGL field with a user-interface control. The value you assign is used
as a default when you place the field (or a record that includes the
field) on the web page in Page Designer.
Use the
displayUseKind enumeration to
specify values for this property. The
displayUseKind enumeration
has the following values:
- button
- The control has a button command tag
- secret
- The data is not visible to the user. This value is appropriate
for passwords.
- hyperlink
- If the action property is the name of
an event-handling function, the control has a hyperlink command tag.
If the action property is a label, the control
has a link tag. In either case, when the user clicks the link, no
validation occurs and no input data is returned.
- input
- The control accepts user input. Initially, the control might display
a value provided by the JSF handler.
- table
- Data is within a table tag.
- output
- JSF handler field output, if any, is visible in the control.
