Sets the control value.
Syntax
ctrl.setValue(value);
Arguments
value
the value of the control.
Return value
No return value.
Example 1
Calculate the total value on the fly using the JavaScript OnLoad event:
var ctrlPrice = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Price');
var ctrlQuantity = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Quantity');
var ctrlTotal = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Total');
function func() {
ctrlTotal.setValue(Number(ctrlPrice.getValue()) * Number(ctrlQuantity.getValue()));
};
ctrlPrice.on('keyup', func);
ctrlQuantity.on('keyup', func);
Example 2
Show an alert if the checkbox control is checked using the JavaScript OnLoad event:
var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Discounted');
if (ctrl.getValue()=='on')
alert('Checked');
// you can use the setValue function to clear the checkbox:
ctrl.setValue('');
Example 3
Select multiple values in a multi-select control.To make this happen we need to pass a Javascript array as an argument.
var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'Options');
ctrl.setValue( [1,10,12] );
// and here is the syntax for passing text values
// ctrl.setValues( ['apple', 'orange', 'banana'] );
