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.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Tamra,

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.
