Consider a BaseForm control containing several TextInput controls and a Delete button with a custom OnClick script as follows:
control.dataContainerForm.removeRecord(control.associatedForm);
// you can also use below script to delete the record
// control.associatedForm.remove();
Here, the control referred to is the Delete button, as specified in the OnClick script.
control.associatedForm represents the record within the BaseForm control while control.dataContainerForm represents the BaseForm control itself.
For a BaseForm control, the removeRecord API, as demonstrated in the script, facilitates the removal of a record.
Another example is the presence of a Number control labeled Record number to delete, where the user can specify the record number to be deleted. Additionally, there is a delete record option with Delete button equipped with a custom OnClick script designed to delete the specified record as shown below:
numberRecordControlValue = control.findByXmlNode("Recordnumbertodelete").value;
var recordNumber = SFU.isNumber(numberRecordControlValue)? parseInt(numberRecordControlValue) : 0;
if (recordNumber > 0 && recordNumber <= control.findByXmlNode("Baseform1").records().length)
{
control.findByXmlNode("Baseform1").removeRecord(
control.findByXmlNode("Baseform1").records()[recordNumber - 1]
);
// you can also use below script by giving the record number to be deleted
// control.findByXmlNode("Baseform1").removeAt(recordNumber); // This method does not require a zero based index value for the record number
}
else
{
SFU.showError(document.title, "Please specify a valid record number");
}
