Output Integer and Decimal controls

The normal Integer and Decimal controls have the Behaviors configurations to format the value but using them as ‘Read only’ show the control as disabled input control.

We need to show the Integer and Decimal values as Output text but in formatted form. Currently the alternatives are

• Do the formatting in script and use the Output Text control to show data.
• Use the Integer and Decimal controls with formatting and some CSS style to change the looks from disabled input controls.
• Create custom control having the Behavior config options of each controls along with Output Text config options.

Is there any option to render these two controls as Simple HTML. Check the attachment for more better understanding.

Hi Saroj,

The Integer and Decimal controls do not have a native option for rendering as Simple HTML.  If this is list of a complex Business Object with a Decimal or Integer variable, then the Table control does have the Columns Configuration to render as Simple HTML.

Your aforementioned approach to format the Output Text control using a script is most likely the most practical.

Hi Stephen,

I have tried extending the Default SPARK Integer and Decimal controls by

• writting additional scripts in the inline javascript of controls
• removing most of the Events options and some Behavior options like TabIndex from the configurations
• adding new Color options like Text Alignment, Color Style
• Changed the preview js to use the Output control preview js

I’m not sure if this is the right approach, as I know we’ll not get any support for the extended components. The component is almost like what we are expecting in our implementation, except that the component in design don’t reflect the formatted text, for which I need to extend the preview files. Please refer the screenshot of the components.

I can share more details and the code, which I have written in the inline javascript, over email, if required 🙂

Hi Saroj,
