    Description copied from class: BaseInstance

  - parseParamvalues
```
public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> parseParamvalues()
```
    Builds a map of the dynamic parameters for this control. These parameters are used during the rendering of this control to set its property "label". The method is public because two controls (as a legacy from MXES): table and section, use the paramvalues of their child sectionheader to set their own label.
    
    See Also:

    Parameters:
    
    key -
    
    defaultValue -
    
    Returns:
    
    the property, or the default if not found or if it is found empty
  - getPropertyIgnoreFlags
```
public java.lang.String getPropertyIgnoreFlags(java.lang.String key)
```
    Return the value of the property for the instance or it's descriptor only. This method ignores property's flags, so it the property is global, it won't get the value from it's parent control. Translated is also ignored.
    
    Parameters:
    
    key -
    
    Returns:
    
    String - the value of the property
  - getProperty
```
public java.lang.String getProperty(java.lang.String key)
```
    Change get properties method: get descriptor's property, if not there throw InvalidPropertyException (print stack trace) if the property is in the control's properties, return it if it's null (not returned from the control) and the descriptor property is global, ask parent if parent != null

    Parameters: value - Returns:
  resolveParam public java.lang.String resolveParam(java.lang.String param) Resolves system level parameters as well as calling userinfo methods to get specific user information If the param resolves to one of the system properties, return it. If the param starts with 'userinfo.' get the rest of the param and attempt to call it as a method on userInfo If the param is still not resolved, call getProperty(param) walkForId public java.lang.String walkForId(java.lang.String baseType) walkForId public java.lang.String walkForId(java.lang.String baseType, java.lang.String prop, java.lang.String proValue) quickinsert public int quickinsert() This event translates the event quickinsert to changeapp and - critically - adds the request parameter additionalevent with a value "insert". isToBeDisplayedOnCurrentTab public boolean isToBeDisplayedOnCurrentTab(java.lang.String tabDisplay) Currently used by toolbar menu buttons and action dropdown menu entries. Compares the passed in display tab to the control's page Returns: isToBeDisplayedOnTab public static boolean isToBeDisplayedOnTab(java.lang.String tabToCheck, java.lang.String tabDisplay) setBoundComponent public void setBoundComponent(BoundComponentInstance boundComponent) If set the boundComponent is checked to see if there is field level data restriction on the attribute the component is bound to. If there is and the attribute is hidden then the control will be hidden. There can only be one bound component check per control (even if there are more than one bound components), so is the component is already set, the call is ignored. Parameters: boundComponent - getBoundComponent public BoundComponentInstance getBoundComponent() Retuens the BoundComponentInstance the control uses to do a field level data restriction check. Returns: BoundComponentInstance setReRenderFlags public void setReRenderFlags() getProperties public ControlProperties getProperties() Deprecated. call getProperty(String) instead Returns: a wrapper around properties to ensure typecasting works getDataSource public java.lang.String getDataSource() resetDataSource public void resetDataSource(java.lang.String value) getDataBean public DataBean getDataBean() Return the databean that is defined by the control's datasrc property. Will return null is datasrc property is null or the datasrc/databean isn't instantiated within the control's AppInstance. Returns: setIncluded public void setIncluded() setIncluded public void setIncluded(boolean included) isIncluded public boolean isIncluded() getPropertyUncle public ControlInstance getPropertyUncle() isHiddenByLicense public boolean isHiddenByLicense() isLastChild public boolean isLastChild(ControlInstance child) setAttributeError public void setAttributeError(UIERMBoundControl boundControl, ERMAttributeError error) childHasError public void childHasError(BoundComponentInstance childWIthError, SetValueError newError) getErrorLevel public int getErrorLevel() Checks to see if the control has any child errors and returns the most severe error. Returns: clearErrors public void clearErrors() childHasErrorFocus public void childHasErrorFocus() Notifies the parent control that a child has focus due to focuing on a field with an error. Bubbles up the call to parent control so if the control is a container it may need to do something to insure the child is visible (for example a collapsed section will need to expand) setErrorFocusOnControl public void setErrorFocusOnControl(UIERMBoundControl ermControl, int mboIndex) hasChangedConditionally public boolean hasChangedConditionally(java.lang.String property) Returns true if the property's value has been changed by conditional IU during the current call to render stopRender public boolean stopRender() This method checks to see if the parent control is visible or not. If not it returns false preventing the control from rendering itself. Always returns true if the control in in the table filter row. Returns: setPropertyOriginator public void setPropertyOriginator(ControlInstance control) getPropertyOriginator public ControlInstance getPropertyOriginator() getTakesValueComponent public BoundComponentInstance getTakesValueComponent(java.lang.String attribute) Returns the BoundComponentInstance that is bound to the passed in attribute and has has the takesvalue property set to true. If there is only one component in the list that component is returned regardless of the attribute passed in (which should match anyway). This can return null if there are not "registered" takesvalue components or there is more than on registered component and the passed in attribute is null or doesn't match the the dataattribute property of any of the takesvalue components findComponentByDescriptorId public ComponentInstance findComponentByDescriptorId(java.lang.String componentId) This method searches this control's components and returns the ComponentInstance whose descriptor id matches passed in id. The descriptor id is different than the instance id because typically the the instance id will have the control's id included in it. The descriptor id is the qualified id as defined in the control-registry component definition for the control. This method will not search child controls for the component. It only searches for components created by this control. findUseForLablledByComponent public ComponentInstance findUseForLablledByComponent() getRecordHover public org.w3c.dom.Element getRecordHover() hasRecordHover public boolean hasRecordHover(ComponentInstance component) isMainrecActionMenu public boolean isMainrecActionMenu() Returns true if this control is the Tool Bar Action Menu or the Navigation Menu.
