Title: Best way of show a big note
Post by: Alberto on February 27, 2020, 08:49:24 AM

Hi, I need to show a big note using a button and a popup proc.
How is the best approach?
Because its for only viewing the note, no update, may be theres a more small way that use a form.

Simplest way I guess would be to use a NewWebPage. Include a stringTheory object. In the Processed code embed put

Code: [Select]

st.SetValue(p_web.Translate([noteString]))
st.Replace('<13,10>', '<<br>')
packet.append(st.GetValue())

You could use a popup memory form with only one field.

Open the popup NoteMemForm with your button passing the note string as a parameter of the button's OnClick.

That will place the "note" in the NoteMemForm's URL string as a parameter https://wwwwww.xxx?thenote=xxxxxx

Under the NoteMemForm's priming tab, On Change, NoteField primed with p_web.GetValue('thenote')

Display the NoteField with a text control.

Choose a close button instead of save under the NoteMemForm's buttons tab.

Resize the NoteMemForm to taste.

Done.

Thanks Don ... but this does not work in Popup mode, you cant use parameters

Sure you can. 

From the docs for On Click Button:

Quote

Parameters
Parameters to pass to the URL or procedure. This is a & separated list of the form parameter=value&parameter=value and so on.

You're using a button to call your "note" form.  Pass the note form a "NetTalk" parameter.

No, don't use a NetWebPage - these cannot be popups.

yes

You don't need to pass it. The popup form could just use the session value "as is".
Assuming the notes is a field in the database, then it's just a case of using that field on the form (probably as a "DISPLAY" field.)
