REPRESENTATION

Defines the graphical representation for a column's elements.

Adelia type	NUM_BIN_4.
Accessibility
Layout design mode	Read / Write.
Execution mode	Read.
Associated constants
_COL_ENTRY_FIELD_REPRESENTATION	Each element in the column will take the form of an entry field.
_COL_CHECK_BOX_REPRESENTATION	Each element in the column will take the form of a check box.
_COL_IMAGE_REPRESENTATION	Each element in the column will take the form of an image. In this case the VALUE property is a NUM_BIN_4 (long binary) property representing the number of the image in the List object's image list. (Cf. the ADD_IMAGE method for the List object.)
_COL_COMBO_BOX_REPRESENTATION	Each element will take the form of a combo box.
_COL_HTML_REPRESENTATION	The graphical representation of all the column elements is an HTML text field. In this case, the VALUE property is alphanumeric and the text may contain a fragment of html code with formatting tags. The value may be rendered over several lines. A cell in HTML representation cannot be edited. This representation is only supported by Adelia Cloud.
_COL_PROGRESS_BAR_REPRESENTATION	The graphical representation of each element in the column is a progress bar. In this case the VALUE property is a NUM_BIN_4 (long binary) property representing a progress percentage. The progress bar is hidden (empty cell) when the value is lower than zero. Values over 100 are interpreted as 100%. A cell with PROGRESS_BAR representation cannot be edited.
Conditions for use	none.
Default value	_COL_ENTRY_FIELD_REPRESENTATION.

Notes on HTML representation:

- It is recommended that only simple formatting tags are used to avoid making list rendering too cumbersome.
- The height of a line containing HTML code cannot be calculated. This means that, by default, the line height is always calculated to display a line of text according to the cell fonts. You must explicitly set the LINE_HEIGHT property value in order to display several lines of text.
- If the displayed value is from an external source (i.e. if it is not the program that generates the html tags itself), this could potentially constitute a security breach (XSS injection). In this case, the program is responsible for sanitizing the html code by deleting any potentially dangerous content. You can use the VaToolBxJavaSanitize function for simple requirements.

Note: The _COL_HTML_REPRESENTATION and _COL_PROGRESS_BAR_REPRESENTATION representations are not implemented in Java generation.

REVERSE_IMAGE

Note: indicating an ascending or descending order does not cause the list to be sorted.
