Hai all

I am trying to chain 3 comboboxes in Flex using webfocus enable. can someone help me with this.

this is the code I have for 3 comboboxes. thanks a lot..

 

<ibi:ibiComboBox id="comboReg00" ibiParent="MAIN01" ibiColumn="PLANTREGION" ibiFilterAble="true" ibiFilterCond="EQ"/>
<ibi:ibiComboBox id="comboReg01" ibiParent="MAIN01" ibiColumn="STATE" ibiFilterAble="true" ibiUseFiltered="true" ibiFilterCond="EQ"/>
<ibi:ibiComboBox id="comboReg02" ibiParent="MAIN01" ibiColumn="CITY" ibiUseFiltered="true" ibiFilterCond="EQ"/> 

When these 3 get filtered, I am updating a datagrid.

There is no "chaining" in the WebFOCUS sense within flex. Flex uses "nested filters" - basically the same type of thing. What you can do is create child/parent relationships using the ibiFilterParent property (or ibiFilterSibling for appended conditions) of the combobox. The parent of the first filtering control would be datagrid that contains all of the values.

Thanks Darin. I researched something on this and I got it to work.
I have one question.

Without using WebFOCUS enable for flex, can we read data into a flex datagrid from a WF procedure having output as XML format, using httpservice?

thanks a lot..

I suppose you probably could. I have seen a few other comments on the forum in this direction. You just have to handle manipulation of the data into the datagrid received yourself. I haven't done any of that myself, but i'm sure it's possible. WF Enable isn't required to get data from WF in XML format, so refular Flex can take it from there.

Sure Darin, I will have a look.
One more question, please guide me if you worked on this kind.

Like a regular WF UI with text fields and comboboxes which are used to run a report, we can create same in flex. But how can we send these parameters to WF fex and make it run? For a button in Flex, we may create a http service and give fex URL but how to send the parameter values from flex?

Thanks a lot..

Darin,

I found xml stylesheet code etc to change the URL to use stylesheet so that it works with flex.

I have xml style sheet file which transforms the XML code generated by WF to format understood nby flex, got this from a psot over here. But the URL doesn;t show the change in the code as mentioned. I am not sure of the amper variable wform used to call xml stylesheet.
Can you please help on this? this is the post.

thanks a lot

One way to call WebFOCUS and pass parameters is to use a URLRequest with a navigateToURL. Here is an example.

var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(
	"/ibi_apps/WFServlet?" + 
	"IBIF_ex=CARINST" +
	"&IBIAPP_app=ibisamp"
	); 
			
navigateToURL(url,"_blank");

Hope this helps.
