Value Display State Formatting TW 8.5.0-b12

[atidwel]

I'm not able to configure the state formatting option for the new Value Display widgets - it's not even listed in the properties. Will the new Value Display widgets have a State formatting option available? I know the old ones do, but those will be deprecated soon, or so it says... Any help appreciated!

The old Value Display widget will be there in 9.0 release as well. Adding state formatting to the new one is being targeted for a release later this year.

@atidwel The previous post already provided the necessary answer, but I want to make you aware of a workaround that would work with the new widgets as well, until they get official suport for state-based formatting.

The state-based formatting modifies certain HTML attributes/css depending on the input value for a widget.

To achieve this you can use the CustomCSS mechanism and one expression. By using an expression with an input parameter (widget input value) that outputs a string (the custom CSS class name) you can set the CSS class for your widget depending on the input value. Hint: you can use multiple inputs, from other widgets, to set your Class.
