Hi, I've created my own flavour of PropertySelection called PropertySelectionWithHint that may display a "choose an option below" in the first option of the list.
When there are no elements in the list the components render method just returns . When this happens I'd like the associated TextField label component to also not display. So I added this @If to the template: <span jwcid="@If" condition="ognl:components.ProductComponentSelect.renderable"> <div class="formLine"> <div class="colLabel"> <span jwcid="topicDetailLabel">Topic Detail</span> </div> <div id="productComponentFilter"> <select id="selComponent" jwcid="ProductComponentSelect" tabindex="2" onchange="displayProductComponentChangeWaitMessage(); this.form.events.refresh ()"/> </div> <div id="productComponentWait" class="hide"> Please wait... </div> </div> I've added this method to the component: public Boolean isRenderable() { IPropertySelectionModel model = getModel(); if (model == null) { throw Tapestry.createRequiredParameterException (this, "model"); } int count = model.getOptionCount(); // we only render anything if there are some items to actually chose from return new Boolean(count > 0); } How do I access the method or a property so that my @If will work please? I tried adding abstract methods but can't see how I invoke them when required. For example putting the property set in the constructor seems no good: public PropertySelectionWithHint() { setRenderable(isRenderable()); } TIA John --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
