Smart tags are used to recognize certain types of data. For example, when you hover your
cursor over a component which has a smart tag, a list of actions that can be performed are
displayed.
About this task
The following graphic shows an example of a smart tag:
To use a smart tag with a component, do
the following:
Procedure
- Register the smart tag actions for a component. Use the
class sc.plat.SmartTagActionRegistry to add action providers to the
registry, using the following methods:
- registerActionProvider(obj, boolOverride)
A valid action provider
object must contain a getActions method that accepts a reference of
the type Ext.Component. It must also contain an “id” property that
is the unique ID of this action provider object. The getActions method
must return an array of objects that can have the following properties:
- categoryid: The unique ID of the category object.
- sequenceid: Sequence number which helps in sorting.
- item: Config of Ext.menu.Item
The following is an example of
an object that can be returned by the getActions method. This example
uses the default ID category (DEFAULT).
{
categoryid: 'DEFAULT',
sequenceid: 1
item: {
text: 'Show a Ext.Window',
handler: function(){
new Ext.Window({
width: 600,
height: 500
}).show();
}
}
}
- registerActionType(name, id)
Registers the type with the action
provider object corresponding to the ID passed. Before doing this,
you must first register an action provider object with that ID using
the registerActionProvider method.
The default UI displays the
actions returned. You can use the default UI or override it by registering
your own UI provider.
- Set the scSmartTag property for that component to one of
the following values:
- true
The default implementation of the application gets the
attribute in the source binding data. Objects that are registered
with a key equal to the attribute in the source binding data are fetched.
- A value such as the attribute in sourceBinding or targetBinding.
Objects
that are registered with a key equal to the scSmartTag property are
fetched.
