Hi all,

I am not familiar with IB composer for e.g IbComposer_execute, IbComposer_setCurrentSelection etc

I would like to know if any tutorials available for this so that we can understand how to use it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Help for all the JS functions can be found here:
http://infocenter.ibi.com/wf80...source%2Ftopic23.htm

But Im not sure if there is any tutorial or guide with real good examples.
Regards,

They are API functions we have provided for specific needs. You may not even need to use them. They are documented with examples in the manual.

HI Sander,

Thanks for the link.It is available in the help of developer studio.It is not very clear how to use here.So I was asking for tutorial where novice like me can easily understand its implementation

I found this from the Summit 2013 -

Hope these get you started... Of course there is always the old-fashioned way...RTFM..Read The WebFOCUS Manual. I don'tknow what release you have but you can download a copy for yourself from the IBI website.

http://documentation.informati...omp/wf77htmlcomp.pdf. The manual contains a tutorial in Chapter 10.

Let's hope the examples in the version 8 documentation are better than the ones in the version 7.7.03 documentation - because those are quite inadequate and sometimes wrong.

Thanks for letting us know about the imperfections in the documentation.

Cheers,
Rhonda

Example 1:

Selecting the ALL Value in a Listbox With onafterload

function listbox1_onafterload(ctrl){
alert(IbComposer_isSelected(ctrl.id, 'ALL'));
}

An alert does not select anything.

Example 2:

Populating a Listbox With onbeforeload

function listbox1_onbeforeload(ctrl,arrValuesToLoad) {
for(var i = 0; i < arrValuesToLoad.length; i++) {
    alert(arrValuesToLoad[i].dispValue + " " + arrValuesToLoad[i].value +
    " " + arrValuesToLoad[i].selected);
    }
} 

An alert does not populate anything.
