TKDataFormOptionsEditor

[Ryan]

My view controller inherits from TKDataFormViewController and I set the editor for my field like so:

_dataSource[@"name"].editorClass = [TKDataFormOptionsEditor class];

 

However it only displays one option and whenever I click on the cell it does not take me to another screen to make a selection. How can I get TKDataFormOptionsEditor working?

[Ryan]

Never mind I figured that one out. I was using my own TKDataForm instead of the one for the inherited one from the view controller. Now I have run into another issue. How can I set the valuesProvider after viewDidLoad?

Figured it out. It was the exact same thing as the above that was an issue. Is there a delegate method that will allow me to detect when the user selects one of the options from the second screen?

Hi Ryan,

There is no specific callback for selection out of the options menu. However you can use the didCommitProperty method of the TKDataFormDelegate. It is triggered every time a property has been committed to the object model meaning it will be triggered when you choose option from the TKDataFormOptionsEditor. Consider the code below.

- (void)dataForm:(TKDataForm *)dataForm didCommitProperty:(TKEntityProperty *)property{
    if ([property.name  isEqual: @"section"]){
       // perform logic when item of the options menu is selected
    }
}
