Object to have its settable computed-slots and/or query-plist set from the fields on the form upon submission. Defaults to self.

You can use this to specify a user-defined class for the form-control. Defaults to nil, which means no class attribute will be generated.

This is the auto-computed dom-id which should be used for rendering this section. If you use the main-div HTML string for rendering this object as a page section, then you do not have to generate the :div tag yourself - the main-div will be a string of HTML which is wrapped in the correct :div tag already.

The name of this field. Computed from the object name within the tree.

The validation-function will be forced on these objects when a form is submitted, even if the object's html form-control does not happen to be included in the values submitted with the form. Defaults to nil.

Indicates whether the object should effectively be a hidden-object even if specified in :objects. Default is nil.

List of HTML sections to be scanned and possibly replaced in response to GDL Ajax calls. Override this slot at your own risk. The default is all sections who are most recently laid out on the respondent sheet, and this is set programmatically every time the sheet section's main-div is demanded.

List of valid HTML sections to be scanned and possibly replaced in response to GDL Ajax calls. Override this slot at your own risk. The default is all sections who are most recently laid out on the respondent sheet, and this is set programmatically every time the sheet section's main-div is demanded.

The ID attribute for this tag. Defaults to (the field-name).

This can be used with (str .) [in cl-who] or (:princ .) [in htmlGen] to output this section of the page, without the wrapping :div tag [so if you use this, your code would be responsible for wrapping the :div tag with :id (the dom-id).]

This Javascript will be send with the Ajax response, and evaluated after the innerHTML for this section has been replaced.

[Note -- this slot is not really necessary for protecting out-of-bounds sequence references anymore, the form-control processor protects against this by itself now].

  :computed-slots ((number-of-nozzles (the number-of-nozzles-form value))
	    (ordered-form-controls 
	     (append (list-elements (the inner-flange-form))
		     (list (the number-of-nozzles-form)))))
  
  :objects
  ((inner-flange-form
    :type 'menu-form-control 
    :choice-plist (list :hey "hey" :now "now")
    :default :hey
    :sequence (:size (the number-of-nozzles)))
   (number-of-nozzles-form
    :type 'text-form-control 
    :prompt "Number of Shell Nozzles Required: "
    :domain :number     
    :default 0)

Messages corresponding to form fields which could be missing from form submission (e.g. checkbox fields). Defaults to the names of any children or hidden-children of type menu-form-control or checkbox-form-control.

This switch determines whether all form-controls should be preset before the final setting, in order to allow any interdependencies to be detected for validation or detecting changed values. If this is specified as a non-nil value, then any nil values of (the preset?) on individual form controls will be ignored. If this is specified as nil, then (the preset?) of individual form-controls (default of these is also nil) will be respected. Default is nil.

Set this to t if the form-control should always occur first in an outputted snapshot file. Defaults to nil.

The root-level node in this object's ``tree'' (instance hierarchy).

All objects from the :objects specification, including elements of sequences as flat lists. Any children which throw errors come back as a plist with error information

Determines how the name of objects of this type will be printed in most places. This defaults to the name-for-display (generally the part's name as specified in its parent), followed by an index number if the part is an element of a sequence.

Additional objects to display in Tatu tree. Typically this would be a subset of hidden-children. Defaults to NIL.

Object to respond to the form submission. Defaults to self.

This is the default HTML which can be included in a form in a web page to display this form control. Previously known as form-control-string. Default is the form-control-string.

Also known as simply form-control. This is the default HTML which can be included in a form in a web page to display this form control. Default is the output from form-control method of the lens for html-format and the specific type of this object, returned as a string.

All the children or hidden-children of type base-form-control.

This is the default HTML which can be included in a form in a web page to display this form control, wrapped with labels and table cells.
