SYNOPSIS

Do not use directly, instead derive a class

DESCRIPTION

This class is not used directly, it is used as a base class for all controls which have multiple values to select from inside an Embperl Form. It provides a set of methods that could be overwritten to customize the behaviour of your controls.

METHODS

get_values

returns the values and options

get_datasource_controls

returns additional controls provided by the datasource object e.g. a browse button

get_active_id

get the id of the value which is currently active

PARAMETERS

values

Arrayref with the values to select from. This is what gets submited back to the server.

options

Arrayref with the options to select from. This is what the user sees.

datasrc

Name of an class which provides the values for the values and options parameters. Either a full package name or a name, in which case all packages which are returned by Embperl::Form::get_datasrc_packages are searched. Everything after '#' is ignored and can be used by the DataSource module to do further selections.

no_datasource_controls

Disables the output of the additional controls
