Support
#1

Hi

I’d like to create field with label like in currency field. I want to use this to quantity field, because I’d like show value and unit e.g 10 pcs.
Is there any way create custom component using mechanism ComponentGenerationStrategy ?

Hello Andrezj,

i use the following function for generating a “Currency Field”:

private HBoxLayout generateCurrencyTextField (Datasource datasource, String fieldId, 
		String datasourceAttrb, String textFieldId) {
	HBoxLayout hBox = componentsFactory.createComponent(HBoxLayout.class);
	hBox.setSpacing(true);
	hBox.setWidth("100%");
	TextField textField = componentsFactory.createComponent(TextField.class);
	textField.setDatasource(datasource, datasourceAttrb);
	textField.setStyleName("align-right");
	textField.setId(textFieldId);
	textField.setRequired(true);
	hBox.add(textField);
	hBox.expand(textField);
	Label currencyLabel = componentsFactory.createComponent(Label.class);
	currencyLabel.setAlignment(Alignment.MIDDLE_CENTER);
	currencyLabel.setValue("€");
	hBox.add(currencyLabel);   	
	return hBox;
}

And the generator of the FieldGroup Field looks like follows:

public Component generateFIELD(Datasource datasource, String fieldId) {	
return generateCurrencyTextField (datasource, fieldId, "ID of the datasource column", "ID of the generated text field");
}

And BTW, as far as i know, with one of the latest CUBA Versions, there is actually a “Currency Text Field” functionality.
