How to get label text for the Input Field in code

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created Two UI elements InputField and Label. I set the property 'labelFor' of the UI element Label to 'InputField'.

This is my requirement . I am having the Id of InputField in the code . I want to get the value of 'text' of the UI element Label.

Please suggest how to proceed.

Hi,

Set this properties to ur Input field and Label:

Lable Property->Label for:Ictx_nputField1

Input Filed Property -->id:ctx_InputField1

Create one Context element like:ctx_inputfield

Set the value for label(if ur getting the value from and u want to diplay that)

wdContect.crtContextElement.setctx_inputField1("LABLE');

(ur getting the ID of inputfld from ur code i.e LABEL right)

Hi All,

Thanks for ur immediate replies.

I don't know the id of label inside the code.

I know only the id of the input field.

I want to get the property of the label using the id of Input field.Please let me know if there is any possibilities.

Best Wishes,

Idhaya R.

Hi Idhaya,

Using the ID of the label, you can get the ID of the UI Element for which the labelFor property is set. But you can not get the vice versa.

As for as I know the reason is the property of the label it is not property of the UI Element.

Not sure why you really need this, but you could do something like

IWDInputField field = (IWDInputField) view.getElement("inputFieldID");
IWDLabel fieldLabel = null;
for (Iterator children = field.getContainer().iterateChildren(); children.hasNext(); )
{
  IWDUIElement child = (IWDUIElement) children.next();
  if (child instanceof IWDLabel)
  {
    IWDLabel  label = (IWDLabel) child;
    if ( field.getId().equals(label.getLabelFor())
    {
      fieldLabel = label;
      break;
    } 
  } 
}

Thanks a lot Armin.

I got the solution from ur post.

Its a bad practice to check all the labels inside that container.

Will it take time if I put this code in production scenario??

No, time efficiency is not a problem. But I don't understand why you need this.

Hi

//first get the ref of Label

IWDLabel label=(IWDLabel)view.getElement("labelid");

//now get the labeltext

label.getText()

write the above code in the wdDoModifyView() method

Hi

You don't have to use the InputField inorder to get the Label text.

Follow the code and it is under the method WDdoModifyView()

IWDLabel label = (IWDLabel)view.getElement( "Label");
label.getText();
