Hi ,
I'm using Powerbuilder 11.5 and I'm trying to understand how the Javascript feature works with the datawindow.
So I have created a webservice , a method which returns html code from a retrieved datawindow and in the deployed server I have created also a folder which I called Javascripts and I intent to keep all the js files.
The concept is to create an HtmlDatawindow with a button inside, return the "HTML" syntax and BIND the button I have placed with a Javascript.
I want when I press the button to display a messagebox , or open a file open dialog box.
For example take a look at my datawindow in the webservice
It has a button which says attach. In the lower right corner I have created using the wizard a default js file. I have deployed in the appropriate folder the js and now in my web service method I have added the below
lds_data.Modify &
("DataWindow.HTMLGen.UserJSFile=" +&
"'http://localhost/mywebservice/JavaScripts/test.js'")
Also in the web generation tab I have the below checked
From here I'm kind of confused.
Where do I go next ? How can I bind the button click event with something in the javascript ? If want to call a method from the javascript when the user presses the button how can I attach it with my datawindow button ?
For the Js file I used the Common Javascript option and I have generated client events and scripts.
Any help on this would be mostly appreciated.
if you have any article where I can read how to implement this it would be the ideal.
thank you
