How to assign DataFormItem to groups while using DataFormItemManagerExt

Tung

Asked On September 12, 2019 02:24 PM UTC

Hello,

I'm using subclass of DataFormItemManager and override GenerateDataFormItems for customize item of a DataForm.

How to assign items to groups?

I have tried:

1. Assign value to Group Name. It throw exception {System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at Syncfusion.iOS.DataForm.DataFormItemManager.GenerateDataFormLayoutItems (Syncfusion.iOS.DataForm.DataFormItems dataFormItems, System.Int32& rowIndex)

for example :

if (propertyInfo.Key == "Code")

dataFormItem = new DataFormTextItem() { Name = propertyInfo.Key, Editor = "Text" , GroupName = "General" };

2. I suspect that the group is not exists, so i add it manually by code in the Page constructor. But it does not help.

DataFormGroupItem dataFormGroupItem = new DataFormGroupItem();

dataFormGroupItem.GroupName = "General";

dataForm.Items.Add(dataFormGroupItem);

foreach (var propertyInfo in itemProperties)

{

dataFormGroupItem.GroupName = "General";

if (propertyInfo.Key == "Code")

dataFormGroupItem.DataFormItems.Add(new DataFormTextItem() { Name = propertyInfo.Key, Editor = "Text", GroupName = "General" });

else

dataFormGroupItem.DataFormItems.Add(new DataFormTextItem() { Name = propertyInfo.Key, Editor = "Text", GroupName = "General" });
