Problem adding labels to list item

[Paul Ladley]

I am a newbie, so excuse me if I have missed something VERY basic.

I am trying to delete an entity from a database. The entities are displayed in a list, which I want to click on and press a delete button. I have looked at a couple of tutorials and they suggest putting labels on etc...

The problem is that when I drag the label on to the list item, it greys out. When you run it, you cannot select the list item ...

I have tried dragging a grid on to a list and you get the same result. Same thing when you drag labels / grids on to a collapsible set.

I have looked at the properties and can't find anything to make the the list item clickable once they have been greyed out. What am I doing wrong?

Hello Paul,

You can use the approach with data-item-id attribute to store id: http://docs.appery.io/documentation/b...

Hi Evgene,

Thanks for that. I can see how that would work for a simple list.

But what about if I drag a label on like it describes in the tutorial section "Using a hidden label" which states "Another approach also uses local storage, but has a slightly different setup. Instead of adding a new attribute to the element, it uses a hidden value in the list"?

This is a label on the list item. And when I do that it becomes unselectable.

It still can be selected. These list items are losing "highlighted property" on hover event.

Read in another topic that they were using a split button.

But as soon as i drag a label or grid on to the split button it stops being clickable. No hover state, and the cursor doesn't change except for becoming a caret over the label text.

Check boxes, though, work as expected. They remain clickable and don't lose their styling.

Am I doing something wrong?

I have tried to map a check box to the data but it seems to fail. I only see one label on screen nothing else. Can you map data to a check box? If so I guess I am doing something wrong in following the same process as mapping data to a list.

Any updates on why I can't add labels to lists, as described in you tutorials?

Do I need to do what a fellow user suggested?

If so, can you expand (give me a step through on how to do the above?

BTW: ignoring this issue for the moment, I must same I am very impressed with Appery. And my company is likely to go for it as our mobile solution.

Hi Paul,

Map service response parameter to checkbox and add the following JS code:pre$(element)&#46;attr('checked',value);/pre
Please check, probably you can't add components to listitem because of parameter Divider=true. Also try cleaning cache and send us a screenshot of the editor with this mobilelist.
