Components

Classic Servoy

Hi!

Is it possible to add components such as checkbox, combobox, etc. to form directly from the IDE?

In Servoy those are all fields, with a different value for the displayType property. so, you just place the fields and then alter the displayType property.

Hi,

First of all welcome to the forum I see this is your first post.

Servoy doesn’t have a separate icon for checkbox, combobox, etc. It only has a field icon in the toolbar, checkbox, combobox, radiobutton, etc. are just display types on such a field.
What you can do however is using templates.
You simply create a field, set the display type to checkbox and set the dataprovider to -none-. Then right-click on it and select Save As Template. Give it a proper name and now you find your checkbox template under the Templates node in the Solution Explorer.
Now you can simply drag this template onto your form and have an instant field with display type set to checkbox.
Do the same for all your other types you want to use.

Hope this helps.

Fyi,

We are planning to introduce a palette in the next major version of Servoy.
This will allow you to select a checkbox, combo, etc and place it directly on the form.
