PXFormView is a data-bound UI container control that renders a single record
from its associated data source.
An ASPX page can contain PXFormView as a main container. A form container,
as the diagram below shows, can be also included in the following types of containers:
PXFormView
PXTabItem
PXSmartPanel
Figure 1. Nesting rules for a PXFormView container in an ASPX page
A form container can include multiple ASPX objects of the following types:
A data-bound UI container control: PXFormView,
PXGrid, and PXTab
A layout rule: PXLayoutRule
A box for a data field: PXTextEdit, PXNumberEdit,
PXMaskEdit, PXDateTimeEdit,
PXCheckBox, PXDropDown,
PXSelector, PXSegmentMask, and
PXTreeSelector
Another control: PXPanel, PXGroupBox,
PXRadioButton, PXLabel,
PXButton, and PXJavaScript
A box for a data field can be added to a form container if the container is bound to a data
view declared within the graph that provides business logic for the ASPX page. If you want to
bind a form container to a data view, you must specify the properties as follows for the
appropriate PXFormView object:
The DataSourceID property value must be equal to the value of the
ID property of the PXDataSource control.
The DataMember property must contain the name of the data view that
is declared in the graph and provides data for the controls of the form container.
To create a new form container in an ASPX page, follow the instructions described in To Add a Form Container.
To delete a form container from an ASPX page, follow the instructions described in To Delete a Container.
