call procedure in 2 smart viewers

[symonbobo]

Hi everybody.

I have:
1 main window w1.
1 smartfolder in my main window h1.
2 folders in my folder h1.
2 viewers (v1 in folder 1 and v2 in folder 2)

Question:
how can I do to call a procedure in v1 from v2 ?

Thank you very much

You can do it in different ways. Try using PUBLISH - SUBSCRIBE facility in Progress Or get the handle of the viewer and run that procedure in handle.

Hi philippoommen1.

Thank you very much for your reply.
It is exactly that I wanted.

Can you just explain to me how can I get the handle of a viewer.
Thanks a lot

As quick response please try the following

In Viewer1 create new internal procedure called test then write message "Hello" view as alert-box buttons ok.

In viewer2 put button and write PUBLISH "test".

Add a New smart-link between viewer1 to Viewer2 name should be test

Run the window and click on the button in viewer1.

And see test procedure from v2 is working or not

I hope this is enough to Start with your R&D

Your exemple doesn't work.
But it works if I use SUBSCRIBE with PUBLISH without smartlink between v1 & v2.

Do you know how to get a handle ?

get handle

Greetings,

Somewhere in the object of where U want 2 know the handle; use this syntax:
ASSIGN
hdlObject = THIS-PROCEDURE:HANDLE /*assign local var object handle*/
.

Then make that variable available the procedure that needs it.
This is why PSC introduced the PUBLISH & SUBSCRIBE mecanism in V9
Makes a log simpler, when don`t need the handle just PUBLISH an event.
Progress for tomorrow, today.
