i have a form class which contains a private array of all fields. the
array has two columns:
one with a name-identifier and one that points to the actual field widget.
the form class has a method addField which adds a field of the desired
type (textfield, togglebutton, etc.). It takes as input: the field
type, the label text in front of the field and the field/parameter
name.
generalForm = new myapp.component.compositeForm("A general Form");
generalForm.addField("typeText","Your First Text","firstText");
generalForm.addField("typeText","Your Second Text","secondText");
generalForm.addField("typeList","Menu Style","menuStyle");
generalForm.addField("typeBool","I like French Fries","likesFries");
The values of the form fields can be set using:
generalForm.setFieldVal("firstText", "Dirty Harry");
and read using:
generalForm.getFieldVal("firstText");
For the actual fields I created classes which take care of creating a
field with a label in front of it and some other stuff. This way I
added dozens of forms to my application with about a line of code per
field.
