Web Connection User's Guide
Use the List part to add a control that allows the user to select a single
item from a displayed list of choices. The List part generates the HTML
element select, with the items in the list represented
by option elements.
To add a List part, select the Web Form Parts Category (
), then the List part (
). You can also add the part using the Add Part dialog and specifying
the class name, AbtHtmlList.
The List part has the following properties:
- attributeName
- Use the attributeName property to specify which attribute of
the objects in the collection should be displayed in the part.
- converter
- Use the converter property to specify the converter to use for
the part. A converter is an object that manages the conversion of other
objects to and from their display format for certain visual parts, such as a
Text part.
- eventHandlers
- Use the eventHandlers property to define any event handlers for
this part. Event handlers provide the ability to detect and react to
events that occur while an HtmlPage is loaded in a Web browser. An
example of an event handler is mouse over, where you can specify
when the mouse moves over an HTML element, something happens, usually a
JavaScript is executed..
- extraAttributes

attributes that you want included in the HTML tagging generated by the

by the part when it appears.

icon for the part on the free-form surface.
The name of the part can consist of alphanumeric characters, and must be
unique from all other parts on the layout surface.
This field is optional. If you do not specify a part name, VisualAge
generates a unique name based on the class name of the part.

selected when the part is rendered in a Web browser.

items you want to be visible in the part at any one time. This property
determines the height of the list on the page.
