Configuration

QFE-198

First, set up the DropDownList as follows:

Dim strStates As New List(Of String)()
strStates.Add("AK")
strStates.Add("AL")
strStates.Add("AZ")
strStates.Add("CA")
strStates.Add("DE")
strStates.Add("FL")
objQFE.SetFieldTypeByFieldName("1lawfirm.O.State", QuikFormsEngine.FieldType.DropDownList(New List(Of String)(strStates)))

Then, include the item to display via XML (showing the portion of xml that matters) :

<Field><FieldName>1lawfirm.O.State</FieldName><FieldValue>FL</FieldValue></Field>

QFE-196

When adding Addr123 field via XML, you need to include the FieldCalcOverride tag and set the value to true in order to prevent this address from being calculated. An example is given below, showing the portion of the XML that is affected:

<Field><FieldName>1own.H.Addr123</FieldName><FieldValue>This is the Full 123 Address</FieldValue><FieldCalcOverride>true</FieldCalcOverride></Field>"

QFE-191

Call the AddCustomAltDataButton method in the QuikFormsEngine object, passing one xml string per button to be added. At least one parameter needs to be provided, and more than one can be set (params type parameter). Some examples are provided below.

One button

Dim FName As String = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" standalone=""yes""?><CustomAltButton><FieldName>1ben.FName</FieldName><Title>Select your Home Address</Title><Groups><CustomAltButtonGroup><GroupLabel>Account 1</GroupLabel><Fields><CustomAltButtonField><Name>1own.H.Addr123</Name><Value>Rivadavia 2134</Value></CustomAltButtonField><CustomAltButtonField><Name>1own.H.Addr4</Name><Value>Rincon 20</Value></CustomAltButtonField><CustomAltButtonField><Name>1own.H.City</Name><Value>CABA</Value></CustomAltButtonField><CustomAltButtonField><Name>1own.H.State</Name><Value>BA</Value></CustomAltButtonField><CustomAltButtonField><Name>1own.H.Zip</Name><Value>1020</Value></CustomAltButtonField><CustomAltButtonField><Name>1own.H.Country</Name><Value>Argentina</Value></CustomAltButtonField></Fields></CustomAltButtonGroup></Groups><XSpacing>50</XSpacing><YSpacing>0</YSpacing></CustomAltButton>"
