Make Fields Required in the Relationship Inspector

ionarawilson1 — Thu, 20 Feb 2014 12:30:58 GMT

I need to make some fields required in the attribute inspector of my relationship inspector. The code I use works with the editor attribute inspector but not with the relationship inspector attribute inspector. I get an error on this line:

attributeInspector.fieldInspectors = [fieldInspector1, fieldInspector2]

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

When I use the code assist in the relationship I can see that there is a class called Attribute Inspector - Relationship Inspector (please see image), but I can't find this class to instantiate the attribute inspector in action script. Anybody know the right way to do this? Thanks

     myEditor.featureLayers = [ myFeatureLayerstewardship];
     var attributeInspector: AttributeInspector = relationshipInspector.attributeInspector
     var fieldInspector1:FieldInspector = new FieldInspector();
     var fieldInspector2:FieldInspector = new FieldInspector();
     
     fieldInspector1.featureLayer = myFeatureLayercounty
     fieldInspector2.featureLayer = myFeatureLayercounty
     attributeInspector.fieldInspectors = [fieldInspector1, fieldInspector2]
     fieldInspector1.fieldName = "Acres"
     fieldInspector1.required = true

Not sure if it's helpful, but have you looked at the skins for the RelationshipInspector?

I did but I will look more carefully. Since the relationship inspector uses an attribute inspector I thought I could change properties in the attribute inspector, but I will try to see if I can make these kind of changes in the skins. Thanks
