AttributeInspector: composite components for customField in fieldInfo object

[mikechen]

Hi guys,

Help needed on creating composite components for customField in the fieldInfo object.

I am creating AttributeInspector for a feature class. Esri has a sample that using single dijit component (dijit.form.ValidationTextBox) as a customField. see the example.

What I want is to create a customized dijit component which includes two default dijit components: a TextBox and a Button. See the screen shot from the AttributeInspector.

In the screen shot, I want to have two components for the Full Road Name: the TextBox for the attribute information, and the Button will do another thing based on the TextBox value.

I created a customized dijit which includes those two components. But I don't know how to have my customized components read the value from the field of a table like other attributeInspector fieldInfo components.

Thanks for help.

Mike
