Class InputControl

Class Overview

Collection for grouping InputFields and other InputControls.

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING - WARNING DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS CLASS. IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. IT IS VAPOURWARE. IT PROBABLY HAS NOT EVEN BEEN THROUGH THE INTERPRETER/PARSER YET. IT WILL NOT WORK. THE DESIGN WILL CHANGE. THERE'S STILL MUCH WORK TO BE DONE. LEAVE IT. This class provides a standard API for specifying GUI controls for user-input. Naturally the XSLT templates will be responsible for implementing them but the server (this class) is responsible for the input requirements (the spec). Input controls should be able to "consume" other input controls. The leaves of this tree are the InputFields themselves. InputControls will be categoriesed into "types" according to their meaning/context. For instnace, the most common type will be a "form". This type will be obligated to include information such as uriProc, strMethod, strContentType, strEncoding. Each type will have an initialisation method. Developers wishing to add new types of controls simply inherit this class and add new initialisation methods (or override existing ones to modify them). As with individual InputFields, an InputControl may specify it's own requirements that are subject to validation. For instance, a control may say that if Field1 is not filled in, then Field2 is compulsory.
