I have come accross something while WF7 to WF8 migration.
in WF7 , for example we have a Combo Box control 'cboreport' bound to '&cboreport' variable.
The webfocus code is using '&cboreport_TEXT' to retrieve the Text/Display value of the Control.

&cboreport_TEXT is not bound to any control.

Somehow it gives the 'Display' value of the Control.
I was not aware of any such property of Webfocus Variable.
If anyone of you know this, can you tell how is it governed.
Some of the reports are using &varname_TEXT of the variables to display report titles and stuff.

if you check the "send display value" in the properties of a inputcontrole in the HTML editor....

...you'll get an extra parameter with the same name as the parameter with _TEXT as suffix.

e.g.

&WEEK_NUMBER
&WEEK_NUMBER_TEXT

that's it.

FYI

In V8.1.04, there is a bug, that only sends &_TEXT.
