Revision as of 20:44, 20 March 2015
The dynamic model interface is available in SMS version 11.2 and later. It is primarily a tool for developers. The dynamic model interface provides a way to quickly generate an interface for a numeric model.
Dynamic dialogs are a quick way to generate dialogs without having to compile code. To add or delete a widget on a dynamic dialog, the user simply modifies the XML document. When the modified document is loaded, the new/modified dialog exists. The XML document defines the layout, behavior and the different dialog controls.
The dialog is divided into 2 sections, the tree and the widget view. The tree is on the left side of the dialog and it contains groups and items that represent data. Clicking on a group or item will result with the widget view being updated to match the selected tree or group item.
- Order of the tree items and groups will match the order defined in the XML file.
- Clicking on group will display all children items in the widget view.
- Clicking on a single item will display associated widgets in widget view.
- Tree item will also display the values in a non-editable field.
- Unique_name use format: file::unique_name#value
- Widgets or groups of widgets can be loaded from an outside file by using <link_to_xml>.
- Multiple widgets when displayed on right side can be expanded/collapsed – TO BE DETERMINED
- Can have nested groups
- Keywords are words SMS has reserved in the schema and can not be used as unique names. All keywords will start with a “#”. Here is a list of available keywords:
- #card_name
- #geom_name – name of geometry as it shows up in the project explorer
- #project_name
- #value
- #units
- #xmdf_path – path inside the XMDF file
- #file_name
- #file_path
- #sms_path – path in sms project explorer once inside a geometric item
- #count (used for a widget in a table for counting the rows/columns)
- #geom_guid
Projection keyword:
- #horizontal_datum: NAD83 |NAD27|LOCAL
- #horizontal_system: UTM|STATE_PLANE|GEOGRAPHIC|LOCAL
- #horizontal_units: FEET|METERS|DEGREES
- #horizontal_zone: 3104 etc
- #vertical_datum
- #vertical_units
Coverage keywords:
- #area_property
- #activity_classification
- #cgrid_generator
- #location
- #mapping
- #mesh_generator
- #observation
- #quadtree_generator
- #spectral
executable_progress_update keywords:
- #progress_amount
- #progress_max
Material keywords:
- #material_id
- #material_name
- #material_count
- #unassigned
Point keywords:
- #point_count
- #point_id
- #point_x
- #point_y
- #point_z
Arc keywords:
- #arc_id
- #arc_count
- #arc_point_count
Polygon keywords:
- #polygon_id
- #polygon_count
- #polygon_point_count
Additional keywords are defined with the various custom control widgets.
Note: In changing from version 1 to version 2, all tags that were <custom_control_XXXX> were changed to <control_XXXX>.

|
Example
|
Column1 is read only, Column 2 isn’t read only and is also optional. This means the column can have empty fields and a warning message won’t be displayed.

Element <combo_box>

|
Widget that displays list of options. Only 1 can be selected. If no default is specified and the optional tag is present, then an empty option will be added to the combo box. If there is no default tag, and no optional tag, then the first item will be default.
In version 2, if a combo box has display_options, and is part of a dialog that is used as an arc attribute, then a limited set of display options will appear for the options of the combo box. The display option for each option of the combo box will only be line thickness and color. The display option is NOT saved at any point and will be reset every time SMS is opened.

Element <control_dataset>
Info
|
Displays an edit box, and push buttons for select, delete and create. Once selected, the dataset string is placed into the edit box. The dataset_type can be scalar or vector. Possible keyword outputs are file_name (which is the name of the dataset without path), geom_name, and file_path (full path c:\somewhere) and sms_path.
By default, all datasets of geometries that are part of the simulation (or part of the parameters if one or more use_parameter is used) can be selected. The the geometry attribute is set to “all”, then the datasets from all geometries currently loaded into SMS can be selected from, regardless of relation to the simulation and assuming no other attribute prevents it. If “all” is used, then the dataset values will be interpolated to the geometry in the simulation.
The time_type attribute can be set to “all” (default), “transient”, or “steady state”. When “transient” is used, only datasets with multiple timesteps may be selected. When “steady state” is used, only timesteps without timesteps may be selected.
The select_time attribute can be set to “all” (default), “single”, or “range”. If “single” is used, then only a single timestep of the dataset will be selected. If “range” is used, then both a starting and ending timestep can be selected. By default, all timesteps of a dataset are used.
(For possible future use.)The interpret_time attribute can be set to “true” or “false” (default). When true, this attribute tells SMS to interpolate dataset values at the timesteps in the selected dataset to values at timesteps calculated from a start time, end time, and delta time that is specified by the user.

Element <dependency>
Info
|
Dependencies allow widgets to be hidden, dimmed (grayed out), or shown based on the state/value of another widget. The <dependency> tag can be placed in any widget, combo-box option, item, or group. A user needs to specify the condition that this object is dependent upon and what the value(s) need(s) to be in order for the object to be shown/not dimmed. If the condition is false, by default the control is hidden. To have the control dimmed, use the <dim> tag.

None: no enforcement of rules in the dialog
Swap: all assigned up front. When some object is being assigned a role and is there are already a max number of objects assigned to the role, then any objects that had that role will be switched to the old role of the object being asgined until we surpass the maximum amount of that role, then unassigned.
Max_hide: Don’t allow the role to show up in the combo box to be assigned to a "object" if the max has been reached for that role.
Swap_max_default: (not implemented yet) Enforce max with default is like swap, but instead of the old option, it changes it to the default or unassigned (if no default provided) value. Chooses the first or last “object” of the role it encounters to change.
