Upload

An upload control allows the user to select files from the local file system and upload them to the server.

It supports drag and drop, multiple file selection.

A server-side uiSet (not a scope uiSet) must be executed to allow the upload and specify the upload path:

uiSet("<object ID>", "path", "<upload path>")

• name: the object ID

• upload path: the path where the uploaded files are saved, relative to the HSYCO main directory

When the upload is completed, a command is generated with:

• name: the object ID

• parameter: the uploaded file name, including the extension

Attributes

Common

ID

Sets the object's ID.

The ID identifies the object and is used to reference it in UISet actions, allowing to change its attributes dynamically.

The ID is not unique, it can be shared among multiple objects to quickly change a common attribute.

IDs can't be changed with a UISet action, but they can have a Value Binding assigned to them. Value Bindings on IDs allow an object to be dinamically attached to a set of attribute values.

E.g. the following Value Binding switches the ID of the object between mybutton1 and mybutton2 based on the value of the UISet button.address:

Value binding:

="mybutton" + ui('button', 'address')

UISet:

UISet('button', 'address', '1') switches the ID to mybutton1

UISet('button', 'address', '2') switches the ID to mybutton2

Position

Sets the object's position.
