Notes on the usage of the Form View as a sub-widget =================================================== Undocumented stuff ------------------ * ``initial_mode`` *option* defines the starting mode of the form view, one of ``view`` and ``edit`` (?). Default value is ``view`` (non-editable form). * ``embedded_view`` *attribute* has to be set separately when providing a view directly, no option available for that usage. * View arch **must** contain node with ``@class="oe_form_container"``, otherwise everything will break without any info * Root element of view arch not being ``form`` may or may not work correctly, no idea. * Freeform views => ``@version="7.0"`` * Form is not entirely loaded (some widgets may not appear) unless ``on_record_loaded`` is called (or ``do_show``, which itself calls ``on_record_loaded``). * "Empty" form => ``on_button_new`` (...), or manually call ``default_get`` + ``on_record_loaded`` * Form fields default to width: 100%, padding, !important margin, can be reached via ``.oe_form_field`` * Form *will* render buttons and a pager, offers options to locate both outside of form itself (``$buttons`` and ``$pager``), providing empty jquery objects (``$()``) seems to stop displaying both but not sure if there are deleterious side-effects. Other options: * Pass in ``$(document.createDocumentFragment)`` to ensure it's a DOM-compatible tree completely outside of the actual DOM. * ??? * readonly fields probably don't have a background, beware if need of overlay * What is the difference between ``readonly`` and ``effective_readonly``? * No facilities for DOM events handling/delegations e.g. handling keyup/keydown/keypress from a form fields into the form's user. * Also no way to reverse from a DOM node (e.g. DOMEvent#target) back to a form view field easily
