Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    set label with current login username without writing too much of a code after login in ux lable

    set label with current login username without writing too much of a code after login in ux label. Need to know best possible way in AA web application. I have out of box login page where I do not see any code that I can write and after that redirect to UX where I need to set this label with current username.

    I tried to set default value of lable-

    2. As Mike responded, you can dim the result into a variable if that's what you want but you don't necessarily have to. For instance you could have a textbox on a control and simply set it's default value to:
    Code:
    = Context.Security.CurrentUser

        e.control.control_name will get you the content for the control.
        if you want to change the label itself to the current user then you will need to do that with
        document.getElementById('your_label_id').innerHTML = Context.Security.CurrentUser; ( a5ws_getCurrentUser() may also be used)

          I use something like this in an xbasic function

          e.control.Label = "Current Logged-In User = " + Context.Security.CurrentUser

          You might also try your code in the onLogin event instead of the onDialogInitialize. e.username is available at that point.

            Thanks Gandhi and Stephen. I have out of box login control and I do not see any event for that.
            Gandhi-
            document.getElementById('your_label_id').innerHTML = Context.Security.CurrentUser; ( a5ws_getCurrentUser() may also be used)
            In which event or section shall I use this code on my initial UX after OOB login control let user login? is it document.ready js?

              once you are logged in then the user name is available everywhere you want using either context.security.currentuser or a5ws_getCurrentuser() ( for me it is the latter)
              you add this to the serverside onDialogExecute event of the ux/dialog concerned.

                  Hi Gandhi,

                  I am not getting set label metod on diaglogexecute. I have label called label1

                  I have below sample on diaglogexecute which lets me execute js and state variable-
                  function onDialogExecute as v (e as p)
                  'Request - The Request object. Includes Request.Variables, which should be used instead of the older e.rv construct
                  'Session - The Session object. Should be used instead of the older e.session construct
                  'Inside e:
                  'e.tmpl = Component definition
                  'e.rtc = Runtime calculations - you can use this to store data to be passed to other server side events (Note: the 'rtc' object cannot be used to persist state information - i.e. you can't set a value in rtc and then read that value in a subsequent callback. To persist state info see e._state).
                  'e.arguments = SQL::Arguments object with values for each of the arguments defined in this component. To read a value from arguments: e.arguments.find("argumentName").data

                  'To specify any javascript that you want to execute set the e.javascript property. For example:
                  'e.javascript = "alert('hello');"

                  'You can set 'state' variables in this event. The value of any state variables will be available in all subsequent ajax callbacks.
                  'To set a state variable:
                  'e._state.myvar1 = "value1"
                  'e._state.myvar2 = "value2"

                  'To read the value of a 'state' variable that was previously set:
                  'e._state.myvar1


                  end function

                    e.control.Label = "Current Logged-In User = " + Context.Security.CurrentUser

                    You might also try your code in the onLogin event instead of the onDialogInitialize

                    This works for my first ux after login. But I have another ux getting loaded as well. I do not get this on my second ux.

                      dialog.execute runs every time the dialog is brought up including the first time, however the dialog initialize will run only when the dialog is run first time. ( dialog execute fires before initialize event)
                      the way to do is
                      dim user as c
                      user = a5ws_getCurrrentUser() or context.security.currentuser
                      dim cmd as c
                      cmd = "document.getElementById("label1").innerHTML=" + user + ";"
                      e.javascript = cmd

                      or simply
                      e.javascript = "document.getElementById("label1").innerHTML=" + user + ";"

                      note: i am just writing the code out of my head, later on i will test this for you.
                      thanks for reading

                        e.javascript = "alert('hello');"

                        e.javascript = "document.getElementById('SAMPLEUDASHBOAR.LBL.R1.LABEL1').innerHTML='hello';"
                        above works but when I do below it does not give unexpected token. Almost close

                        'e.javascript = "document.getElementById('SAMPLEUDASHBOAR.LBL.R1.LABEL1').innerHTML= " + context.security.currentuser +";"

                            Good stuff. Ghandi, your ideas are always great!

                            The way I do this is to use an intermediate a5w page where you can set the login user as a session variable
                            Code:
                            session.UserID = a5ws_getcurrentuser()
                            Then redirect to the logged in page and you can use the session variable anywhere you like in your application.
                            Code:
                            response.redirect("home.a5w")
