My First Pattern , versão em Português - BR

Mi Primer Pattern , version en Español


The Pattern will generate a SDT object representing the structure of a given transaction.

For instance, given the Country transaction:

MyFirstPattern_img1

the following SDT will be generated:

MyFirstPattern_img2

 

The steps are:

1. Read Creating a New Pattern in order to understand all relationated concepts about GeneXus Patterns and the necessary requirements to develop a Pattern.

Note: If you want to continue developing the Pattern without reading the documentation on step 1, you should install GeneXus X, GeneXus Platform SDK and Visual Studio 2005 or higher

2. Create a New Visual Studio Project: File->New->Project

3. Select GeneXus Pattern Template:

MyFirstPattern_img3

4. Enter data according to your preferences, press Next

MyFirstPattern_img4

5. Select Transaction as object for the pattern to be applied:

MyFirstPattern_img5

6. Enter type and name for the object to be generated, press Next

MyFirstPattern_img6

7. Indicate that GeneXus will be launched after making Start of your project. In order to do this in Visual Studio go to: Project->MyFirstPattern Properties->Debug and indicate the path to GeneXus.exe on Start external program

MyFirstPattern_img7

8: Copy the following code into the template to create the SDT structure (SDTSDTStructure.dkt) below this code: <Part type="<%= PartType.SDTStructure %>">:

<%--
    Sample SDT Structure definition
--%>

<%-- Indicate that the generated SDT object will be Collection, this will take place adding a property with Name = AttCollection and  Value = True --%>

   <Level Name="<%= Object.Name %>">
      <LevelInfo guid="<%= Guid.NewGuid() %>">
        <Properties>
            <Property>
                <Name>AttCollection</Name>
                <Value>True</Value>
            </Property>
        </Properties>
      </LevelInfo>

<%-- Process the list of attributes of the transaction where the pattern is being applied   --%>
<% foreach (TransactionAttribute trnAtt in myInstance.ParentObject.Structure.Root.Attributes)
   {
%>

<%-- Create a field into the "SDT" using the same Name and Description of the transaction attribute (trnAtt), --%>
<%-- and the field type will be based on the attribute type  --%>
      <Item guid="<%= Guid.NewGuid() %>" name="<%=trnAtt.Name%>" description="<%=trnAtt.Attribute.Description%>">
        <Properties>
            <Property>
                <Name>idBasedOn</Name>
                <Value>Attribute:<%=trnAtt.Name %></Value>
            </Property>
        </Properties>
      </Item>         

<%-- Process the levels of the transaction   --%>   
<%
    }
    foreach (TransactionLevel level in myInstance.ParentObject.Structure.Root.Levels)
    {
%>

<%-- For each level of the transaction, a level into SDT object will be created and the same name and description will be assigned. In addition it will be marked as Collection   --%>
        <Level Name="<%=level.Name%>">
        <LevelInfo guid="<%= Guid.NewGuid() %>">
        <Properties>
            <Property>
                <Name>Name</Name>
                <Value><%=level.Name%></Value>
            </Property>
            <Property>
                <Name>AttCollection</Name>
                <Value>True</Value>
            </Property>
        </Properties>
        </LevelInfo>    

<%-- Process the attributes of each level and create a field with type based on the attribute level type   --%>
<%
        foreach (TransactionAttribute trnAtt in level.Attributes)
        {
%>

        <Item guid="<%= Guid.NewGuid() %>" name="<%=trnAtt.Name%>" description="<%=trnAtt.Attribute.Description%>">
        <Properties>
            <Property>
                <Name>idBasedOn</Name>
                <Value>Attribute:<%=trnAtt.Name %></Value>
            </Property>
        </Properties>
      </Item>              

<%
        }    %>     
    </Level>
<%
    }    %>
    </Level>
</Part>
