[Cppcms-users] Customized widgets input with tags

[Eric J. <jan...@gm...>]

Hi All,

Kindly need your assistance for the implementation on how to create a
customized widget input that derived from cppcms::widgets::base_html_input.
Following is the way I did but unsuccessful:

struct text_input : public cppcms::widgets::base_html_input {

    text_input(const std::string &s) : cppcms::widgets::base_html_input(s) {

    }

    virtual ~text_input() {}


    virtual void render_input(cppcms::form_context &context) {

        cppcms::widgets::base_html_input::render_input(context);

    }


    virtual void render_value(cppcms::form_context &context) {

        std::ostream &os = std::cout;


        context.html_list(cppcms::form_flags::as_p);

        context.html(cppcms::form_flags::as_html);

        os << "<input type=\"text\" style=\"font-size:20px;
background-color:red;\">";

        context.out(os);

    }

};

I tried previously with editing the render_value content for out() to tags:
"style=\"font-size:20px; background-color:red;"
still not working.

The struct implementation is as follow:

struct info_form : public cppcms::form {

    std::string const s1 = "text";

    text_input name(s1);

    cppcms::widgets::radio sex;

    cppcms::widgets::select marital;

    cppcms::widgets::numeric<double> age;

    cppcms::widgets::submit submit;

    info_form()

    {

        //name.message("Your Name");

        sex.message("Sex");

        marital.message("Marital Status");

        age.message("Your Age");

        submit.value("Send");

        add(name);

        add(submit);

        add(sex);

        add(marital);

        add(age);

        sex.add("Male","male");

        sex.add("Female","female");

        marital.add("Single","single");

        marital.add("Married","married");

        marital.add("Divorced","divorced");

        name.non_empty();

        age.range(0,120);

    }

Please let me know if you need anything else to show.
Thank you and kind regards,
