=head1 NAME
Package WebGUI::Form::Control
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Base class for all form field objects. Never use this class directly.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use base 'WebGUI::Form::Control';
...your methods here...
Subclasses will look like this:
use WebGUI::Form::subclass;
my $obj = WebGUI::Form::subclass->new($session,%params);
my $html = $obj->toHtml;
my $html = $obj->toHtmlAsHidden;
my $tableRows = $obj->toHtmlWithWrapper;
my $value = $obj->getValue;
my $value = $obj->getDefaultValue;
my $html = $obj->getValueAsHtml;
=head1 METHODS
The following methods are available via this package.
=cut
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 areOptionsSettable ( )
Returns a boolean indicating whether the options of the list are settable. Some have a predefined set of options. This is useful in generating dynamic forms. Really only used by form controls with an "options" field, which are mostly subclasses if WebGUI::Form::List. Returns 0.
=cut
sub areOptionsSettable {
return 1;
}
#-------------------------------------------------------------------
=head2 definition ( session, [ additionalTerms ] )
Defines passible parameters for a form field.
=head3 session
The session object, usually for internationalization.
=head3 additionalTerms
An array reference containing a hash of hashes of parameter names and their definitions.
Example:
[{
myParam=>{
defaultValue=>undef
}
}]
By default all form fields have the following parameters:
=head4 name
The field name.
=head4 value
The starting value for the field.
=head4 defaultValue
If no starting value is specified, this will be used instead.
=head4 _defaulted
This flag indicates that the defaultValue was used. It is used by Form types that support
an initial blank field, instead of using a default, like WebGUI::Form::Date.pm
=head4 extras
Add extra attributes to the form tag like
onmouseover='doSomething()'
=head4 label
A text label that will be displayed if toHtmlWithWrapper() is called.
=head4 id
A unique identifier that can be used to identify this field with javascripts and cascading style sheets. Is autogenerated if not specified. The autogenerated version is the value of the name parameter concatinated with the string "_formId". So for a field called "title" it would be "title_formId".
=head4 idPrefix
If specified, this will be prepended to the id (whether autogenerated or not) to prevent overlap of two similar forms on the same page.
=head4 uiLevel
The UI Level that the user must meet or exceed if this field should be displayed with toHtmlWithWrapper() is called.
=head4 uiLevelOverride
An identifier that will be grabbed from the config file to determine the uiLevel. If the uiLevelOverride is "Article" and the name is "title" then the entry in the config file would look like:
Article_uiLevel = title => 5
=head4 subtext
A text string that will be appended after the field when toHtmlWithWrapper() is called.
=head4 labelClass
A stylesheet class assigned to the label with toHtmlWithWrapper() is called. Defaults to "formDescription".
=head4 fieldClass
A stylesheet class assigned to wrapper the field when toHtmlWithWrapper() is called. Defaults to "tableData".
=head4 rowClass
A stylesheet class assigned to each label/field pair.
=head4 hoverHelp
A text string that will pop up when the user hovers over the label when toHtmlWithWrapper() is called. This string should indicate how to use the field and is usually tied into the help system.

=head2 new ( session, parameters )
Constructor. Creates a new form field object.

my $obj = $class->new($session, name=>"this", value=>"that");
my $obj = $class->new($session, -name=>"this", -value=>"that");
Please note that an id attribute is automatically added to every form element with a name of name_formId. So if your form element has a name of "description" then the id attribute assigned to it would be "description_formId".
