Using the view holder, you can define the context in which the component is to be drawn. By default, all the flat components are drawn in the context of their parental component.

Description

By default, the component is drawn in the context of its parental (superordinate) node, if the flat representation is possible.

self

Component is drawn in its own context. The option is meaningful only if the component has its own tree node -> see TreeEntry).

 

Visualization context - Parent


Illustration on the left:
When the tree entry („shipTo") is clicked, the component to be indicated (see the red area) is displayed (in this case „purchaseOrder"). The component is displayed in the context of its parental element (parent). Scroll to the desired component.
Illustration on the right:
When the root node („purchaseOrder") is clicked, the component with the „parent" visualization context is still displayed. See the red range.

By default, the complex list (ComplexGroupList is displayed in its own context (self). This is an exception.

Visualization context - Self


Illustration on the left:
With the visualization context „self", only the component to be indicated (see the red area) is displayed when a tree entry is clicked. In this case, the component is„shipTo".
Illustration on the right:
When the root node is clicked („purchaseOrder") the component with the visualization context „self" is no longer displayed. This component now lives in its own context (self).
