<Dashboard>.InitialConfiguration (Function)

In french: <Tableau de bord>.ConfigurationInitiale

Not available

Modifies the configuration of a Dashboard control (defined in the editor) before its first display. This allows you to configure and to take into account the widgets declared in programming by <Dashboard>.AddWidget.

Example

// -- Initialize DASH_Dashboard
// Adds information into the initial configuration:
// - key numbers for the last 3 months
nX = 1 ; nY = 3
FOR i = 1 TO 3
// Adds the widget
nIndex = DASH_Dashboard.AddWidget(IW_Widget_KeyNumber, ...
StringBuild("Key numbers for %1", DateToString(dDate, "Mmm YYYY")), ...
dDate)
// Configures the widget (placed on the left)
DASH_Dashboard.InitialConfiguration(nIndex, nX, nY)
// The next one will be lower
nY++
dDate.Month--
END
// - stock alert
// Adds the widget
nIndex = DASH_Dashboard.AddWidget(IW_Widget_StockAlert, "Stock alert")
// Configures the widget (placed on the left)
DASH_Dashboard.InitialConfiguration(nIndex, 5, 1)

An error occurs if <Dashboard>.InitialConfiguration is called after the initialization of the Dashboard control.
The widgets configured by <Dashboard>.InitialConfiguration will be loaded and made visible after the execution of the initialization processes.
<Dashboard>.InitialConfiguration is ignored in the following cases:
- The "Remember configuration of Widgets" option is checked in the Dashboard control description window ("Details" tab) and the user makes the widget invisible.
- The user made the widget invisible and the configuration of the Dashboard control was saved then reloaded.
