Greet,

have you a example for a macro that use the reference field?
The Macro Feature where easy to use with drag & drop from the Bean Browser to the reference field.

Thanks,
Wocher

...oops, I am astonished that this is not in the documentation, but you are right... Sorry!

Example:

Code:

 <macro>
     <applysto>
         <tag name="t:field"/>
         <tag name="t:formattedfield"/>
         <tag name="t:calendarfield"/>
         <tag name="t:textarea"/>
         <tag name="t:combobox"/>
         <tag name="t:radiobutton"/>
     </applysto>
     <parameters>
     </parameters>
     <attributes>
         <attribute name="bgpaint" value="#{d.${ref.b}.selBgpaints.${ref.p}}"/>
         <attribute name="text" value="#{d.${ref.b}.sel.${ref.p}}"/>
         <attribute name="value" value="#{d.${ref.b}.sel.${ref.p}}"/>
         <attribute name="width" value="100%"/>    
     </attributes>
 </macro>

You see: no parameters, the reference inforamtion is taken from the REFERENCE attribute. In the reference attribute there is a semicolon separated list of name:value pairs. For the macro above it would be:

reference="b:order;p:deliveryDate" ("b" for bean, "p" for property). In the maco the values are referenced by ${ref.<name>}.

...and there is one additional feature: a replace function that can be used in the macro:

Code:

         <attribute name="bgpaint" value="$replace(},.addon.bgpaint},${ref.expression})"/>

In this example the string "}" is replaced by ".addon.bgpaint}" in the reference passed by "${ref.expression}".
Btw: when you drag & drop from the bean browser into the reference field then the corresponding expression is passed as "expression:<expresseion>" string.

Thx for the information, this is the information that i need

One more question.
I use this:
<attribute name="value" value="#{d.${screen}.${bean}.${property}}"/>
<attribute name="enabled" value="#{d.${screen}.${bean}.e_${property}}"/>
<attribute name="bgpaint" value="#{d.${screen}.${bean}.b_${property}}"/>

the problem is the replace must be on the last point in the expression, not on the }.
Then where is no way to make this i must rewrite the Wrapper, to work with the suffix not with a prefix ( b_ / _b

...yes, that's right!
I would suggest to check if to use the programmed Macro, then there is full flexibility.
Please contact us in case you cannot wait for next Monday...!
