Class UIFormQueryStruct

java.lang.Object
  org.sandev.basics.structs.UIFormQueryStruct

Direct Known Subclasses:

UIFormQuery

public class UIFormQueryStruct

extends java.lang.Object

A query from the system to the user, used when a choice or acknowledgement is necessary. This is a query from system to user, in contrast to a query message, which is from user to system.

It is up to the display how the choices will be represented. If a UIQuery has two or fewer choices, the interface display may choose to present each option as a button. For example a "yes/no" question might result in "yes", "no" and "cancel" buttons for brevity. If there are several choices, then a more extensive selection approach, such as a drop-down box would be used.

The displayText may also be modified at runtime. So for example a value of "**LICENSE AGREEMENT**" might be replaced with significant verbiage at runtime. A known value may also be replaced with localized text.

protected java.lang.String	displayText The text that will be displayed to describe what is going on.
