How to Clear Input Fields in Thingworx Composer
There are several ways to clear input fields:
One: Using Widget ResetToDefaultValue Property
One: Using Widget ResetToDefaultValue Property
The arrow pointing to ResetToDefaultValue is filled because it is bound to an event.
When to use:
- Use if there is a single input field
- Also use when there are other fields that should not be reset at the same time, or by the same trigger
Two: Using Panel ResetInputsToDefaultValue Property
When to use:
- If there are multiple, related input fields
Three: Using Mashup ResetInputsToDefaultValue Property
When to use:
- If there are multiple related input fields in multiple panels, or even if some inputs are not in panels.
Events that usually trigger this:
- SetProperties: it is the Composer equivalent to a form submit – after you submit a value, resetting the input signals that it is ready to take a new value
- Reset Button click
The click event of setProps button is wired to SetProperties. The ServiceInvokeCompleted event of SetProperties is wired to ResetToDefaultValue on the textInput Widget NumericEntry-21. A reset button could be wired directly to ResetToDefaultValue, or to the ResetInputsToDefaultValue handler of the panel or widget.
