Working with Library Components

The entry API for working with library components is getLCEditor(). All the following operations use it as the entry:

• createLC(String titleText)
  Creates a new library component.
• addDataset(String name, String datasourceName, String BVName)
  Creates a new dataset from a business view.
• setDataset(String objHandle, String datasetHandle)
  Applies an existing dataset used in the library component to the data component. It returns true if the dataset is bound to the data component successfully; otherwise false.
  

• insertTable(TableTemplateInfo info, boolean increasePanel)
  Inserts a new table into the library component.

• insertChart(ChartInfo info, String datasetName)
  Inserts a new chart into the library component.

• insertCrossTab(CrossTabInfo info)
  Inserts a new crosstab into the library component.

• insertImage(String imageName)
  Inserts an image into the library component. The image must be in the same folder as the catalog.
  
• insertLabel(String text)
  Inserts a label into the library component.
  
• insertSpecialField(int fieldType)
  Inserts a special field into the library component.
  
• saveLC(String lcFileName)
  Saves the library component into the specified file (.lc).
• loadLC(String lcFileName)
  Loads the library component from the specified file (.lc).
• close(String handle)
  Closes the specified library component and clears all resources of the library component. It returns true if the library component is closed successfully; otherwise false.
• quit()
  Quits from the library component editor and clears all resources of the editor.
