Re: creating a dynamic code for a group of radio buttons

Hi Yaron,

Can you post the updated code? I think you had missed this step earlier -

selectOneRadio.getChildren().add(radio);

 Thanks Aneesha,

I did have the IDs unique. I also tried setting the valueBinding to an
HtmlSelectOneRadio that I put on the bean (with getters and setters of
course) nothing seemed to work.

Just to make sure my question is clear I need to create a dynamic view
similar to this:

|*column1|column2**|column3|*

*|radio1    |radio 2   |radio3    |*

*|radio4    |radio5    |*              |





The number of columns and number of rows is not fixed and all the radio
buttons need to be in the same group.



Any advice would be appreciated,

Hi,

I haven't constructed radio buttons dynamically but in general, to do
something like this..
HtmlSelectOneRadio selectOneRadio = new HtmlSelectOneRadio();
selectOneRadio.setId("choicesRadioButtons");//TODO: componentID
selectOneRadio.setLayout("spread");
selectOneRadio.setValue(displayValue);

// If you are setting IDs for radio instances here, make sure each is
unique
HtmlRadio radio = new HtmlRadio();
radio.setFor("choicesRadioButtons");
radio.setIndex("0");

selectOneRadio.getChildren ().add(radio);

panelGroup.getChildren().add(selectOneRadio);

Hope that helps!

Hi there,

I would like to convert this code to dynamic components (I can not use
tableData with newspaperColumn because I want multiple columns with the same
button group and I need a header aligned with each such column). I would
like to be able to set the  t:radio in a panelGrid with X number of
 columns:

<h:panelGroup>

      <t:selectOneRadio id="buttons" layout="spread" forceId="true"
forceIdIndex="false" value="hello">

            <f:selectItems value="#{pc_Wizard.choicesDisplayValue}" />

      </t:selectOneRadio>





      <h:panelGrid columns="5" >



        <t:radio for="buttons" index="0" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="1" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="2" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="3" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="4" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="5" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="6" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="7" />

        <t:radio for="buttons" index="8" />

      </h:panelGrid>

 </h:panelGroup>



This is the code I started writing but I have a problem making it work
especially setting the "for"

  HtmlPanelGroup panelGroup= new HtmlPanelGroup();

  HtmlPanelGrid htmlPanelGrid = new HtmlPanelGrid();

  List panelGroupChildren = panelGroup.getChildren();

  panelGroupChildren.clear();

  HtmlRadio radio;



  HtmlSelectOneRadio selectOneRadio = new HtmlSelectOneRadio();

  selectOneRadio.setId("choicesRadioButtons");//TODO: componentID

  selectOneRadio.setLayout("spread");

  selectOneRadio.setValue(displayValue);



  htmlPanelGrid.setColumns(5);

  htmlPanelGrid.setColumnClasses(Constants.cColumnClasses+
","+Constants.cColumnClassesCurrency);

  htmlPanelGrid.setRendered(true);



for(int i=0;i<9;i++){

  radio = new HtmlRadio();

  radio.setId("selectOneRadio");

  ValueBinding vb =app.createValueBinding("buttons");

  radio.setValueBinding("for", vb);

  radio.setIndex(i);

  htmlPanelGrid.getChildren().add(radio);

}





panelGroupChildren.add(selectOneRadio);

panelGroupChildren.add(htmlPanelGrid);



return panelGroup;



any ideas?
