String Methods Overview
A method flagged as aStringMethod can be specified as a
String containing a valid
JavaScript expression. This expression will automatically be converted to a function
with a return value matching the value of the last statement. Providing a String is not
required - you may use a real function instead.
For example - suppose you wanted to override the leafClick() method on
the TreeGrid. Normally you would do so as follows:
TreeGrid.create({
...
leafClick : function(viewer, leaf, recordNum) {
if(leaf.name == 'zoo') {
alert(1);
} else {
alert(2);
}
}
});
Since leafClick is a StringMethod, however, you can shorten
this to:
TreeGrid.create({
...
leafClick : "if(leaf.name == 'zoo') { alert(1); } else { alert(2); }";
});
