Integrated Javascript Editor

Individual scripts may be setup for when a screen is loaded, saved, when a new record is requested or when a record is deleted. The selection dialog to the right allows the implementer to select the script to edit.

Representative Javascript is depicted to the left. Notice the syntax highlighting. Also notice the commands "GetScreenData.getData" and "Messaging.setError". There are hundreds of commands that integrate the Javascript environment with the rest of the application. GetScreenData commands allow the script to read data from the screen that launched the Javascript. Messaging commands allow the script to set error, warning and save messages. There are also commands to read and write to the MySQL database.   [ back to Embedded JS Engine ... ]

When any Javascript integration command is typed, a code completion dialog will launch that shows all of the methods for the command entered. As characters are typed, the methods shown will be reduced to just those that match the characters typed.   [ back to Embedded JS Engine ... ]

When the help button is clicked on, information about the method highlighted will display.   [ back to Embedded JS Engine ... ]
