FreeTextTile Class Methods

In this section, the FreeTextTile constructor method is described. Because the FreeTextTile class is an implementation of the ImageTile class, the methods and properties of the ImageTile class are inherited by and apply to the FreeTextTile class. In particular, refer to the documentation on these methods of the ImageTile class:

Syntax

FreeTextTile(TILE_NAME)

Description

The FreeTextTile constructor is automatically invoked when you instantiate an object of the FreeTextTile class. Because the FreeTextTile class is a subclass of the ImageTextTile class, this method also instantiates an object of the superclass before initializing the FreeTextTile object.

Parameters

Field or Control	Definition
`TILE_NAME`	Specifies the ID for the tile as string value of up to 30 characters. This represents the Tile Name of the tile definition in Tile Wizard. Note: The ID cannot include spaces or special characters and must not begin with a number.

Returns

An ImageTile object.

Example

import PTGP_APPCLASS_TILE:API:FreeTextTile;

Local PTGP_APPCLASS_TILE:API:FreeTextTile &t2 = create PTGP_APPCLASS_TILE:API:FreeTextTile("MY_TILE2");

/* Set required properties */
&t2.Title = "My Text Tile";
&t2.TargetCrefName = "PT_SC_PERS_DICT_FL_GBL";  /* My Dictionary */
&t2.Content = "My tile <i>content.</i>";          

/* Invoke  methods defined in the base class.   */
&t2.Save();                                     /* For a new tile definition, a save is required. */
&t2.Publish();
