GOAL:
How to change the value of a View-as Text fill-in between SmartWindows.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
FIX:
Consider the following example:
SmartWindow1:
- Insert a button.
- Trigger in the button:
RUN pp.w (INPUT "AAA").
SmartWindow2 (named pp.w):
- Definition block:
DEFINE INPUT PARAMETER i AS CHAR.
- Insert a fill-in with View-as Text selected.
- Main block:
ASSIGN fill-in-1:SCREEN-VALUE = i.
If you are using normal windows, after pressing the button, the fill-in-1 will change its value. If you are using SmartWindows, the fill-in-1 will not change its value.
SOLUTION 1 (more recommended):
1) Add initializeObject procedure (to get this procedure you have to select new procedure and override).
2) Insert in this procedure after the "RUN SUPER" statement:
ASSIGN fill-in-1:SCREEN-VALUE IN FRAME {&FRAME-NAME}= i.
SOLUTION 2:
SmartWindow2 (named pp.w):
1) Add create-objects procedure (to get this procedure you have to select new procedure and override).
2) Insert in this procedure:
ASSIGN fill-in-1:SCREEN-VALUE = i.
3) Check fill-in-1 properties: display property has to be unchecked.
After pressing the button in SmartWindow1 the fill-in-1 will change its value.
