Overlapping UI Elements in WD4A

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a requirement where in i have to display a error message if there is no data in a table, and if there is data i have to display that in a table both at same positions.

So, i need to have both the message area and Table UI element at the same position.How to handle this to overlapp the UI elements.

Thanks.

You can choose one more option.

1) Take two Transparent containers. In 1st, you add the Message Area and in 2nd you can add Table.

2) Create an attribute say VISIBLE of type WDUI_VISIBILITY and bind this attribute with the visibility of the 2nd Container.

3) Check in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method that if your Table is empty, set the visibility of the attribute (Visible) to None.

Hope it willl helps you.

Table UI elements has a property named as Empty Table Text, set this property with the message you want to display when table is empty. The message will be displayed inside table control.

Additionaly you can also set the property Display Empty Rows to be set to False.

Hi Hussain,

I am not sure if we can overlap UI element in WDA.

But if you want to display any message if you table has no data then you can do the following:

Table UI has a property "emptyTableText". Give the text message you want to print in the case your table has no data. This message will be displayed inside the table whenever your table is empty

Hope it helps.
