Client Side XBasic a Grid Field to Variable

[carlclay53]

I'm using version 10.5 with grid components in desktop feature pack installed. I'm trying to put data from a grid row into a desktop global variable. I've closely followed the videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwqw2OVMu2k

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ytuLQk1Eqo

Following the above videos I used these:
====================================================
On click event [Javascript - Attribute]:

callXbasic({Grid.RowNumber});

JavaScript Functions Declarations:

function callXbasic(rowNum) {

var get_parc = {grid.object}.getValue('G','PARC_CHR',rowNum);

clientSideXbasicFunction(get_parc);

}

Client-Side XBasic:

function clientSideXbasicFunction( varname as c )
ui_msg_box("","hello from xbasic:" + varname)
dim global var1 as c
var1 = varname
end function
====================================================

Followed the instructions on this page and watched the two videos it references:

http://wiki.alphasoftware.com/~alpha...e+Xbasic+V10.5

For the above videos I used these:
====================================================
On click event [Javascript - Attribute]:

myfunction();

Client-Side Xbasic Functions tab:

function myfunction() as v
dim msg as c
msg = "This is Xbasic"
ui_msg_box("Notice",msg)
end function
====================================================

No matter which methods I use I keep getting this error:

Error: The value of the property "[Function Name]" is null or undefined, not a Function object

I've been working on this for days...any help would be much apprectiated.

function myfunction()( as v
try
function myfunction as L()
or
function myfunction as v()

Thanks for responding, but no joy.

Not even close. Try something like this:

callXbasic();
---
function callXbasic() {
var rowNum = {grid.object}._selectedRow;
var get_parc = {grid.object}.getValue('G','PARC_CHR',rowNum);
{grid.Object}.ajaxCallback('G',rowNum,'clientSideXbasicFunction','','get_parc='+get_parc);
}
===
function clientSideXbasicFunction(e as p)
js = "alert('hello from xbasic: '" + js_escape(e.get_parc) + "';)"
js = js + "var get_parc = "' + js_escape( e.get_parc) + "';"
clientSideXbasicFunction = js
end function

To be honest with you, I'm not 100% sure the {grid.Object}.ajaxCallback(0 method is supported in v10, but I think it might be.

EDIT:
Oops! Your on the desktop. Ignore what I said. Not sure about how to address this on the desktop side.

Re: Client Side XBasic a Grid Field to Variable

Peter thanks for the reply. I can get the value I want into a javascript variable with this:

rowNum = {Grid.RowNumber};
var1 = function(rowNum) { return {grid.object}.getValue('G','PARC_CHR',rowNum); }(rowNum);
alert ('This is Variable' + var1);

Can you think of a way to get var1 into a desktop variable?

Re: Client Side XBasic a Grid Field to Variable

Carl,

On the web it would be like what I did. You pass in the JS var1 into the callback. Then the xb function reads the "e" value for the var, like this:

function clientSideXbasicFunction(e as p)
dim global var1 as c = e.get_parc
end function

Except that the global var doesn't have a whole lot of meaning on the web side. I have never built an app w. WCD so I don't really know.

Peter,

The videos I referenced, at the beginning of my post, are exactly what I need but I can't get past the: "Error: The value of the property "[Function Name]" is null or undefined, not a Function object" Thanks for trying.

Re: Client Side XBasic a Grid Field to Variable

looks like you did everything like that in the video, my question is
what version of internet explorer you are using, could be anything over ie version 8. starting version 9 of ie they have turned off action scripting. it is quite possible that is interfering with the grid you are trying.
got to top of alpha window look under view, setting, preferences, actionscripting, working preview and set the value to yes ( may be blank or no)
then try again. action scripting is needed to run what you need to do it in desktop.

read the link below "how to enable xbasic" etc.,
(does not matter what browser is your default browser, alpha uses internet explorer to show the grid in working preview till version 12)

Re: Client Side XBasic a Grid Field to Variable

I have IE version 11, but I've enabled active scripting in the browser. I'm using alpha 10.5, and do not have an 'actionscripting', setting in preferences.
