true	Force the list to be bounded.
false	Force the list to be unbounded.

cached : boolean

collection : string

If blank, the ComboType isn't data driven. Otherwise, the combo will be dynamically driven from the collection specified here.

An expression that specifies that a collection model must be set on the control.

read : string

Custom read event. [<class>]'<event> <arg1> ... <argN>

Specification: [<class>]'<event> <arg1> ... <argN>

<class> is an optional class symbol. When omitted ActiveNode's class is used. <event> is a read event symbol. <arg#> is an event argument value which can be either a constant or a scheme expression evaluating to a constant at run-time on the client, using special local variables provided by the framework: this (=controller), :node (=active node), :attributes, :where, :orderBy, :count, :offset, :xlock, or a UI initializer variable.

If arguments are not specified, a default list is supplied by the framework: :attributes :where :orderBy :count :offset :xlock

Examples:

a) Generate a request to 'readList event with default arguments: readList

b) Generate request to readList event with attributes, and orderBy argument values supplied by the framework. readList :attributes :orderBy

c) Generate request to Contact'readDetail with attributes supplied by the framework, and the contact argument calculated using (current-contact) client library function. Contact'readDetail :attributes (current-contact this :node)

In a library: (define (current-contact controller node) ... )

d) Generate request to 'read event with a constant attribute list: read '(lastName firstName) :where :orderBy :count :offset :xlock

refreshAlways : boolean

Whether the control makes a server submission upon every list selection.

When false the framework may still force the control to make submissions upon every list selection if there are UI event handlers where the control is a source, or if the control is part of hierarchical combo relationship. The property should be used sparingly for cases when a custom script needs to run with every dropdown selection. It increases a load on the server.

required : string

The attribute, association path, or a constant returning boolean to set whether the value for the control is required.

If the attribute is required in the model, it takes precedence and one cannot change this setting in the UI. If the attribute is not required in the model, the requiredness can be set to an attribute, association path, or a constant returning boolean. If the value is set to #t, or the attribute value is true, the requiredness cannot be changed using 'required' view property that is set via client-side API. If the value is left blank, it is set to #f, or the attribute value is false, the requiredness can be changed using 'required' view property that is set via client-side API.

sort : ComboSortType

The type of sorting to be applied when retrieving the collection model.

Specifies the type of sorting to be applied when retrieving the collection model. A setting of 'Client' will perform the sorting after all values have been retrieved from the server and can be used to sort calculated attributes. The default is 'Server'.

server	The model will be sorted on the server.
